RE: Strokin'!

You just gave me the best flashback!!! My girlfriends and I used to go to a dance club called
Sha Boom, they had the hottest male dancer who always performed this song...

Hi Morgan and Trixi

RE: Quick question.. Is a hot tub a Jacuzzi?

My Aunt was upstairs filling her new jacuzzi bath tub... my Uncle was downstairs in the garden... my Aunt added some bath product to her jacuzzi tub... my Uncle was soon covered in a blanket of foam as my aunt was flinging it out the bathroom window!

Lesson... be careful what products you use in a jacuzzi!

RE: Barak Obama Speeches...inspiring and hopefull OR plagarism and false?

Please don't generalize " Ladies" I am a Clinton supporter but my post reveals the way I feel about the topic of using others words regardless of whether it was about Obama, Clinton, McCain....

or do you not consider me to be a lady?

RE: The Truth about Bad Boys...And why nice guys finish last...

On a more serious note...

People get confused between nice guys and just plain boring guys. (boring guys, there are boring girls who will appreciate you)

I think it's human nature to value that which takes some effort to achieve and hold on to.

I appreciate a man who makes me a better me. Someone I know is going to require that I make an effort to be witty, well read, attractive, experimental, open and continue to grow and learn, and I expect the same from my partner.

I think most Bad Boys are just men who need a woman who continues to challenge them when the chase is over.

Of course I'm not referring to the truly vile specimens such as wife beaters, rapists, etc. there is a whole different category for them.

RE: Why is it soo hard...

yeah, but that would be just plain selfish don't you think?

RE: Hugz n kissez

Me too...

RE: Why is it soo hard...

I find that people draw people with similar attributes to themselves.

RE: To tip or not to tip

You wind up paying the tip regardless... If the wages go up... so will the cost of your meal or there are restaurants who add a service charge. Personally I like having the freedom to tip appropriatly for the service I actually receive.

RE: The Truth about Bad Boys...And why nice guys finish last...

I've said it before... A good man is hard to find.... but a hard man is good to find.

RE: To tip or not to tip

As someone who has been in the food and beverage industry for many years, I believe that a tip should be based solely on service and the tipped amount be appropriate to the service received. You can always tell when someone is new, or in training but if their attitude was good and you know they were trying then cut them a little slack. I do not believe in tipping if the waiter is just plain bad and has a bad attitude and believe it should be brought to managements attention.

My daughter and I were in a very expensive restaurant prior to going to the theater, it was only about 6 in the evening so there were only about 3 other tables seated. The service was appalling in spite of the food being excellent, so I decided to leave the waiter a very special tip.

On the back of the check I wrote... My tip to you is to become a better waiter, then I went on to list each episode in which he had given less the proper service... the list was quite long. Checks are reviewed by the management each night and waiters have to account for all of their tickets so I knew there was no way the manager wouldn't see it. I signed my name, paid the bill and went to the theater.

Two days later I received a call from the owner of the restaurant thanking me for what I had written and asking that I return to the restaurant for a complementary meal and to give them a second chance.

RE: Disbelief

I think it depends on whether or not both parties wanted the split. If one person wanted to continue the relationship there is going to be hurt... and when a person is hurt it is very easy for negative emotions to come to the surface. You reconcile these differences with time, time to allow them to move on in their life and find some happiness but in some cases people never do get over it and you just have to accept that.

Reach out and touch someone.... How important is touch?

So I'm curious, Ship and Kitty... do you own pets? Are you perhaps fulfilling the need for touch by petting your pets. I know I always feel better when I have a pet.

Reach out and touch someone.... How important is touch?

Not only the human contact... In many nursing homes they have introduced cats or dogs and find that the overall well being of the patients is greatly improved.

Reach out and touch someone.... How important is touch?

Not a problem... I always like to hear two sides to everything. I take generalisations with a grain of salt, but there does seem to be some cultural traits that are prevalent within a culture, being aware that of course there are always exceptions.

RE: Barak Obama Speeches...inspiring and hopefull OR plagarism and false?

I don't know what you could be talking about, I merely state an opinion...

...but I do seem to get myself in spot of trouble on occasion, I think I need a "Ricky" in my life...


Jaaaccccqqqqqiiiiieeee!!!! <------------ me hiding from "Ricky"

Reach out and touch someone.... How important is touch?

I find that most Americans are quite open to the European style of greeting. Last June I traveled to Hawaii for my Cousin's wedding, she is from California and the Groom and his family were from Texas. When I'm introduced to someone I automatically lean forward to kiss each cheek. While the initial reaction was confusion and a bit of discomfort... by the end of the week everyone was kissing everyone else and it seemed to create a closer bond between the two families.

RE: Barak Obama Speeches...inspiring and hopefull OR plagarism and false?

How many politicians even know the original source of their words... they use speech writers. If someone has found an eloquent way of saying what you want to say... I don't have an issue with borrowing the occasional phrase providing it is a reflection of how you actually feel.

RE: Age vs. Maturity: Differences between men and women

Yes, but is that really something that ever changes??? If a man has not matured by 40, is there any hope? Personally I look for the "boy" in the man and enjoy this aspect of the male species, except for the whole Beavis and Butthead thing!

Reach out and touch someone.... How important is touch?

Definitely some interesting thoughts...I grew up in a protestant family, very little hugging and kissing... with the exception of the good night kiss, and a hug when family was getting off a plane to visit you and another when they were leaving.

There has always been something in me that demanded physical contact with others and at the age of 16 began insisting on hugs with my family members when saying hello and goodbye... and now when I visit California they all have to kiss me twice!

For you and I

OMG Lush, my potential guy better not be a "normal " Fin or we're going to be over in the bat of an eye!!! So far he doesn't sound typical... when he calls we're on the phone for 2 hours and I'm the one to say goodnight, he is very exuberant and enthusiastic... I'm going to have to ask him about the touching thing though...

I wonder if his sense of humor is good enough to send him your last 2 posts...
