RE: Age, and getting set in our ways

Yes, we still have a good life and we both know how to play, which keeps it interesting... and if a good playmate comes along, wonderful, if not we still have lives.

I think the biggest difference that age makes is that we no longer feel the pressure you do when you´re younger to get married, start a family... and I think a lot of people are looking for someone else to provide security in their lives rather than create their own.

I believe in the "lottery" test.... if you won the lottery tomorrow, would you stay with your partner, it´s surprising how often the answer is no...

RE: Age, and getting set in our ways

We are in such a similar position you and I... having been married and raised our kids and divorced at still a young age and stayed single for a looooong time, we´ve made good lives for ourselves so maybe it is asking a lot for someone to enhance that....

RE: Age, and getting set in our ways

Ok, it would be nice to have someone special in my life, but not at the cost of making life less enjoyable. What I look for in a potential partner is someone who will enhance my life rather than detract from it... I don´t think that´s asking a lot.

Back in the US..... for Valentines day

Well it´s just Phily for the night, early morning flight to Hawaii tomorrow... maybe vegas next time!

I got a converter, so I once again have power for my laptop! Yeah! So it´s going to be a lazy night in with room service...

RE: who is the best horror movie character of alltime???

Ok... I gotta get technical here. The term "horror" came about during the old Dracula, werewolf films with such greats as Vincent and Bella. So if you want to get picky... that genre is the true horror film which has unfortunately, for me, disintegrated into pure blood, guts and gore. I like the old ones best "Psycho" being one of the best ever and never did you actually see any physical violence... but it still scared the crap out of you!

It might not scare many today because there is such an overwhelming amount of violence and blood in movies that people have become numb to it all.

Back in the US..... for Valentines day

Crap, my battery is almost dead, I forgot to get a converter!!! Off to see if there is a nearby shop! Happy Valentines everyone!

RE: Favorite Movie Endings

I have to go with Thelma and Louis... I´m not big on mushy, romantic hollywood endings! The worst movie ending in history has to be City of Angles!

RE: who is the best horror movie character of alltime???

It´s my kind of horror movie...I hate the really scary ones!!

Back in the US..... for Valentines day

I definatly will!!!! I wonder if room service sends up men....

Back in the US..... for Valentines day

I know... but it´s probably a good thing we didn´t follow through... I can´t imagine doing anything but soaking in the tub and having a nice dinner! Then off to Hawaii 8am!

Happy VD!

Back in the US..... for Valentines day

You must have some really hot chick sending you mail!

Back in the US..... for Valentines day

Thanks LL, I intend to... Hope you´re having a good day!

RE: who is the best horror movie character of alltime???

It has to be "Jack" from American Werewolf in London... that scene in the movie theater was brilliant!

Back in the US..... for Valentines day

Here I am sitting in a hotel at the Philadelphia airport on Valentines day. I had big plans to see the city and do a bit of shopping, take myself out for a nice meal...but the reality is I´m knackered and won´t be going anywhere but the restaurant downstairs... or maybe room service....

While the flight from Spain was long...for some reason everyone is being incredibly nice today! For some unknown reason I got bumped to business class which was sooooooo nice and when I checked into the Hilton (I got a really good deal on Hotels.con) they put me in a club room which is so lux and loads of lovely bath products!!! Now if I only had someone to share it with....

So what are you all doing on this lovely Valentines day?

RE: CS Wedding Announcement ;-}

Congratulations to you both!!!! It´s so wonderful to here the success stories! I hope you have a wonderful life together!!!

RE: It's jbibiza's Birthday today!!!

Thanks so much for all your birthday wishes!!!

While today is my actual birthday...most of it has been spent in recovery...we started celebrating about 9pm on saturday night and finished about 3 am sunday morning. I can only hope there are no pictures to commemorate the weekend!!! as I was running around like an idiot in a long white wig (we had a white theme party) which seemed like a good idea at night but was a bit harder to carry off in the broad light of day stumbling about with friends looking for dark hideaways to indulge in "just one more"

So once again... thank you for your good wishes and hopefully it won´t be too much longer until I´m hooked back up with internet and can once again become a more regular part of the forums again!

RE: ~Inspired by Pretzlman (I hope I spell it correctly)~

I personally thing that love is a choice, lust or infatuation...on the other hand is a whole different matter!

RE: A Modern Day Fairytale...........in Ireland

You brought a tear to my eye Vinny! I´m really glad you are getting the opportunity to get your family together again! I also hope that people reading this will take the lesson that you shouldn´t let your kids take sides, or bad mouth the other in the case of divorce... it just creates too much heartbreak for everyone involved!

RE: Happy Birthday StressFree!

Happy Birthday Sweetie!!!! Hope this year brings you love and happiness!!

RE: What can a black african man do for a whit ladies to fall inlove with them?

Well someone not being prejudiced for starters would be nice... your attitude of wanting to find someone white would put me off you before it even got started... try falling in love with the person and not the skin colour.

RE: CAN LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIPS WORK?

For me it would only work if we already have a relationship and then for what ever reason have to be separated for a time. I can´t imagine that I would have a relationship with someone without knowing them in RL.

RE: How do you do it...

Well ladies, I´ve enjoyed the conversation and now it´s time to take the pooch out for his walk, then catch a movie.

Night all (although if I can´t find a good film, I may be back)

RE: How do you do it...

Hmmmmmm maybe the dumb blond routine is a better way to attract the guys... the poll "would you sleep with me" started by "eatme" has had more male hits then this thread....

RE: How do you do it...

You´ve made me laugh since you started on CS... (in a good way), you have a wonderful direct quality about you that I really enjoy and when you don´t get where someone is coming from you´re not afraid to ask questions which really helps a conversation.

RE: How do you do it...

Which is what makes for an interesting conversation! I have a good group of friends, but we all think so much alike about issues that conversations are all agreements... I come on here to hear other points of view and hopefully have some good information exchanges.

RE: How do you do it...

I understand what you´re saying... but this is an international forum and everyone is on a different time zone... it´s a bummer when you sign in and read 7 pages of a thread and have something good to contribute only to find that you´ve posted into the middle of a three page love you session...

RE: How do you do it...

I think that all we´re saying is be respectful of the conversation, if someone has something to add to the topic then by all means do so... but don´t destroy a conversation by turning it into their own little mutual admiration society... there are plenty of other threads to do that. If the topic being discussed isn´t something that they want to discuss then why are they in the thread?

RE: How do you do it...

Where´s the slap you silly emotion????

RE: Local news from your country - Part II

I love this day... and living in a really small community makes it even better as everyone comes out to welcome the kings who arrive by boat and then parade through the town to the town square where a big tent is erected and all the kids in the town receive a gift from the kings. I also enjoy the fortified homemade red wine they give out...

This year I won´t be going though, I´m dog sitting and he is terrified of the fireworks which started tonight and won´t end until late tomorrow night, so my dia de los Reyes will be spent holding a tranquilized Lab in my lap... the poor baby.

RE: How do you do it...

Exactly... there are times I feel like a bit of flirtation and silliness and look for a thread of that nature and engage in a bit of banter... but when a good conversation is going, or even a heated debate and someone breaks into it... it´s really frustrating.

There was a good example of that last night Jan when you and an OP diverted to Spanish for a post and someone else came in making an issue over that and had nothing else to add to the conversation. What was the point of coming into the thread only to say "the rules are.... blah,blah,blah...
