RE: WHEN TO GIVE UP LOOKING

Before I came to this site just over 4 years ago, I spent time in quite a few others actively searching for someone to no avail.
When I came here, I didn't do any real searching, I jumped right into the forums. After ten months of being active in the forums, I met Shelia. This was 3 1/2 years ago

I'm a firm believer of the saying, "It will happen when it happens"

RE: News! Who do you think is in the right??

One fact I haven't seen stated here is the fact that Gates refused to present an ID when he was asked to.

RE: I'm back and I'm hurt severly

Have patience grasshopper. I spent 12 years (10 months in CS) hunting for someone like my present wife who I met here

Don't be in such of a rush. Take your time and have some fun. I guarantee it will happen when it happens.

RE: Relationships with an ex

The only thing my ex is to me, she's the mother of my two boys, that's it. When I see her, I say as little as possible.

She showed her true colors when she gave me the boot because she couldn't deal with my having a heart problem. Then again when she gave me custody of our oldest son a year later because she couldn't deal with his ADHD.
For the first couple of years I had our son, I can count on one hand how many times she made an effort to see him. She didn't start doing anything until he wanted his drivers license and payed for his drivers ed which I was against as I felt he wasn't ready for it.
Our youngest has two more years of high school left. Once he graduates, I believe he'll leave because of his step-father. He hates the guy. Once this happens, I won't have to deal with her anymore.

Do I hate her, no. I could care less about her.

RE: Red Sox are better than the Yankees

GO SOX!!!!!!!!!!!

Got kicked out of a Yankees/Sox game in NY once. I guess they didn't like having a helicopter hovering above the wall behind homeplate.
Was on a flight for time when we were going past Yankee Stadium. The pilot put us in a hover where we could see the game and had the FM radio tuned into a station that was broadcasting it. We were there no more than 2 or 3 minutes

RE: Help! I fell off the wagon

I quit cigarettes back in March due to the drastic increase in prices.
While in NH during the 4th of July weekend, I bummed one from my oldest son. It felt weird between my fingers and lips. I didn't even smoke it down like I used to.
I have quit several times over the years not lasting more than a couple of weeks each. This is the longest I have gone and to tell the truth, I don't miss them one bit.

I know it isn't easy, but you can do it

RE: Is organized religion based entirely on fear?

ps...not Fear Based...Love Based

RE: Is organized religion based entirely on fear?

Perhaps (2) Christians here

Religion is not the relationship I have with God..it's Faith and a devoted Love for who He is and what He has done

RE: Usernames

Shelia was known as PeachesandCream while here and I was known as Raynew. After we were married, we let our profiles go and created another combining the two

RE: Childbirth...What Is It Like Ladies?

From my point of view, it is an incredible experience seeing your child being born.
I have seen 3 childbirths, one I delivered myself while in the USCG on a helicopter and then my two sons years later. While it is one thing to watch your own children being born, it is quite another to have a life slide right into your hands.
It is somewhat difficult to describe how I felt with each as the emotions kept changing. There was concern, anxiousness, joy and others all jumbled together.

With my oldest, she woke me up about 5am saying her water broke. I told her to wake me up in an hour and then went back to sleep. An hour and a half later we were at the hospital. Six hours later, my son was born.
Our second son, at about 4:30am she said her water broke and we were off to the hospital where he was born half hour later.

The time I delivered that baby on the helicopter, not only did I have to be concerned about mother and child, I also had to think about the safety of the father who was strapped into a seat. (I had to threaten him if he got out of his seat again as I had the cabin door open)

Walter, you left us a legacy we'll never forget

RE: If $10,000,000.00 was mistakenly put into your account

Not sure if it would work but I believe some offshore banks don't use names, but numbers to identify the depositor.

Take out only a certain amount that wouldn't raise any suspicions and fly to lets say the Bahamas or even Switzerland. Go to a bank, open an account and make a wire transfer.
With all that money, you could buy yourself a whole new identity and life. I know, I read too many spy books

Man Charged $23 Quadrillion For Cigarettes

Makes me glad I quit smoking cigarettes

Man Charged $23 Quadrillion For Cigarettes

A man who was charged more than 23 quadrillion dollars on his credit card for a packet of cigarettes has told of his relief at not having to foot the bill.

Josh Muszynski checked his account a few hours after making the purchase at a Mobil petrol station and saw the incredible 17-digit number.

He had been charged a total of $23,148,855,308,184,500 (twenty-three quadrillion, one hundred forty-eight trillion, eight hundred fifty-five billion, three hundred eight million, one hundred eighty-four thousand, five hundred dollars).

"I thought somebody bought Europe with my credit card," he told the WMUR-TV station in his home town of Manchester, New Hampshire.

"It was very concerning - it was a lot of money in the negative."

Mr Muszynski said he panicked and drove back to the petrol station, where the assistant was unable to help him get to the bottom of the extortionate fee - which was greater than the world's combined GDP.

He said he spent two hours on the phone with Bank of America trying to sort out the string of numbers and the overdraft charge.

The bank corrected the error the next day.

Visa has since released a statement saying: "A temporary programming error at Visa Debit Processing Services, caused some transactions to be inaccurately posted to a small number of Visa prepaid accounts.

"The technical glitch, which impacted fewer than 13,000 Visa prepaid transactions, has been corrected and erroneous postings have been removed.

"Importantly, this incident had no financial impact on Visa prepaid cardholders.

"Visa regrets any inconvenience to our customers and has taken immediate steps to ensure this error doesn't occur again."

I don't believe it

I just got one of those 419 scam letters in my CS mailbox. I expect to hear from scammers but did not expect to receive one of these here in CS.
It's one of those letters where a client has died leaving millions of dollars behind and they need someone who will agree to help transfer that money for a certain amount as payment.
These people have some nerve and have been reported

For those who don't know what the 419 scam is, it goes something like this
