I stopped to draw conclusions a long time ago. Actually, after the first wave of discomfort you feel gratefulness: the person isn't what you are looking for and thanks for informing, even so implicitly, so early in the encounter.
I replay to all messages, that I perceive as legit.
The lines are drawn at dirty talk. Not because I'm some kind of a saint, but because more often, than not, it's lame and ridiculous. When it's not lame and ridiculous, I don't draw the lines :)
Uncomfortable... well, when a letter is based on an assumption that I am sitting here and waiting for someone to rescue me and give me a household to manage. My first reaction is to ask myself when in my profile could I possible give a hint that I'm the type. And then the realisation, that I start with trying to find a fault on my side, is the source of discomfort. Though, I'm working on it :)
In rather small ways, S. Like playing music after 23.00 so that I can hear it clearly in my bedroom or blocking my door with their bike. When I point it out, they apologise so sweetly and sincerely, that you believe them. But the very same thing will repeat a few days later.
Small things, when repeated, have a tendency to accumulate.
I have a few wonderful neighbours: most of them keep themselves to themselves, but are ready to help when asked. And there's a family next door, that is just impossible.
Don't think so. Once upon a time, there was a meaning based on people's believes. For example, a boy could be called Wolf or Bear in order to translate some of those animals' traits - strength, endurance, speed, courage - on the name's bearer. Some of those names are still in use, but it's only because of tradition or fashion.
I don't think, that parents who name their son Björn, do so expecting him behave like a bear in our times.
But being the last of the species, she might enjoy a liberty or two. Wouldn't you say? I would. Pity, thought, she's the last.
Nonetheless, another advantage* with a kayak is that it fits on the roof of your car. There's also a picture on FB with a kayak laying horizontally on the back seat and the back doors wide open (the car is on the road doing fine). Nothing I'm personally'd recommend, but it works and here we are.
*There is no evidence of a kayak sinking a tug or ramming coast guards or such. (Can get aground, though, sorry.)
Read the other day: “August 2014 she sank a tug at Esbjerg, Denmark…” “…June 2015, she rammed the two Icelandic Coastguard patrol ships…” “...June same year she ran aground at…”
Sure, it costs a lot, but is totally exiting. I do understand the sentiment. The most peculiar thing, though, is that it's reported as if she did it herself completely on her own :D
In the beginning of January 2019 I paid for a course in Qigong. That has changed my life quite dramatically in more, than one way. To mention just a few benefits:
My sleep improved so much, that I cannot longer call myself chronic insomniac.
I lost sugar cravings: easier to keep healthy weight.
Energy level increased: I do more during a day. I equal it to being more alive. Last week-end I paddled for more, that 5 hours - wouldn't be possible 2 years ago.
And they say, you can't buy happiness for money :)
Anyway, we have no sharks here. The most dangerous sea animals are jellyfish named Lion's Mane - an encounter with one will leave you with burning sensation for days. But you are safe in a kayak :)
* whole body physical exercise, when you paddle against wind / current * whole body massage, when you drift with wind / current * meditative, as any repetitive activity * aesthetic pleasure from being in harmony with nature
I don't know any other activity, that gives you so many benefits both for mind and body in one stroke :)
