they've been together 16 years now and has just had they're first baby ! the baby is only 9 months old !
he's been in and out of rehab twice[/quote
AA the only way forward... the twelve step program is second to none because it has a wholistic and spiritual approach... the first step (IMO the most important one is realising u have a problem) email me and I will give u the name of the book that helped my friend
The first thing is to be sure... the mind/loins play confusing tricks on us...
If you love someone.. u just know and there really shouldn't be that struggle.. there is no rush for these word IMO.. at least there shouldn't be... actions and feelings speak louder than words..
Gilly hi sweety.. long time no see.. you say he is your best friend... if you are.. be honest with him.... it may mean being cruel to be kind but he needs to hear from someone who cares about him that he has a problem and he has to fix it... I have a good friend who is a recovering alcoholic as well as an uncle who is.... joining AA transformed their lives and it saved my uncles marriage.. very much a cruel to be kind strategy, but the rewards are great... it may be too late to save this relationship sadly.. .but at least there does not have to be a continuing pattern.. my heart goes out to this guy.. both of them cause at the end of the day it is an illness.. and for the moment he cant help it... mail me if you want the name of a very good book, that was given to my friend.. which really helped him
Keep it simple.. relax (to the best of your ability) and be yourself.. the first date is just about getting to know one another... personally I don't think flowers are necessary and because I have never got them on a first date.. would poss feel a bit wierd for me..
and as already mentioned.. show a genuine interest.. be a good listener.. some light anecdotes/humour.. works a treat with everyone methinks
Initially was hoping to meet someone... now I'm here for the forums and friendships.... there are some lovely people from ALL over the world.. can't get cooler that that ..
I am not convinced that the internet is the ideal way to meet a romantic partner.. well not for me anyway... I have always had better luck meetin people in RL.. at least u know what you are getting.... I think
Hopefully get to see a few of the CSr's in Barcelona in September.. ::cheering:
I get the impression that it is not a romantic concept for them certainly... I mean this guy (the nice one)thought.. ok.. I have got a good job.. good money.. this girl is going to think this is a great idea!!!.. it seems a bit like a transaction of convenience.. yes an arrangement... I don't think there is anything 'wrong' with it per se... alot of these marriages work.. and look at our side of the planet.. a mess .. just not for me.. sometimes I do wish it were that easy though....
Pakistan and India... one of them actually looked like a sweet enough guy... bless him... just the way its done... I guess he was quite eager to find a wife... he had gone to the trouble to write me a very long and detailed email about him, his financial status and his prospects and said I seemed like a 'nice'and sweet girl... I wasn't offended by him... I just wrote back, wished him luck and told him that if he is looking for someone, don't propose straight away or he might scare them .... the other guy was a complete pest.. kept emailing me.. sending me flowers... ecards... I had to block him...
Im here!!! I exist.. I swear ... r u going to the Barcelona trip.. was thinking I would go on that one instead... closer in time and also.. have always wanted to go there
I love to cook and happy to cook for anyone.. so I'm gonna cook my favourite which you are all welcome to try ..
My favourite dish (the one I reserve for special people :wink) is pan fried medallions of monk fish with a sauce of lemon, cream, white wine and fresh Dill.. and I usually serve it with some porcini mushroom risotto and grilled asparagus... takes ages to do..but is quite yummy
This is why I think my feelings are significant.. I think there is something in the general consciousness alright.. and lately I have been receiving what I can only describe as inspirations or knowledge.. (I know this seems a little wierd) as if from nowhere.. I have also been strongly and in a dramatic way drawn back to my faith and spirituality... I think God is gathering and communicating to his children.. and those with open eyes and ears will see and hear the signs... I agree.. I am not the only one..but people don't usually acknowledge it until you mention it to them first.. i think people are a bit freaked out by this and a bit afraid.. as I was at first TBH
I have a strong feeling that we have begun to enter the end times also... not in the sense of some big doomsday senario necessarily.. I just have a strong feeling that at the very least we are coming to the end of a cycle... Mayan.. Ur religion, Malachy prophesies and the Bible all seem to coincide on this also... interesting....
RE: End of the world 2012 ...I dont think so
This is a great thread.... pity I have to go to work ... will defo have to get back to it later...Hiya Crazed Angel
