Obnoxious Parrot...

A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to "clean up" the bird's vocabulary.

Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even more rude. John, in desperation, threw up his hand, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute. Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer.

The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said, "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior." John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude. As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird continued....















"May I ask what the turkey did?"

I hope your THANKSGIVING was delicious and fun.

RE: We can now use DNA to bring creatures back, should we?

The first thing that needs to be answered is "of what use is it" to bring it back. The answer, "because we can" just isn´t good enough... nor is "so we can study it".

RE: Cultural differences

I think your going to find a lot of Americans will take exception to this comment.... I don´t think it has anything to do with having more or less "style" rather a different sense of style.

RE: We can now use DNA to bring creatures back, should we?

Well I gotta tell you Kansan... some of the men I´ve met, would make you think that they have already brought the Neanderthal back!!!

RE: Don't be a 'many times' married mum....

Once, maybe twice... it can´t be helped.... but we are the adults and have to take responsibilities for our decisions and the effects those decisions have on our children, if we can´t make good relationship choices than maybe we shouldn´t be having relationships while the kids are around.

Not many, but some... and I constantly see people involving their kids in their dating relationships... 2 or 3 dates with someone and they´re introducing the kids into the mixture...

Kids have a tough enough time dealing with their own issues of growing up without being drug through several relationships that their parents choose to have.

RE: Is this forum really international?

I think that´s only appropriate in Ireland... I had no idea what a local was until I opened a bar in San Francisco and became the "local " for a load of Irish lads....

But I get your point, there are a load of questions you can ask.... I asked a guy who was supposedly from the States what name of the San Francisco football team was... when he couldn´t answer that I knew there was no way he was from the states!

RE: Don't be a 'many times' married mum....

I don´t expect all people to make the same choice I did, but they should take their kids into consideration and not expose them to relationship after relationship.

Read what I wrote... in answer to your first question, and yes some people do seem to take marriage lightly.. anyone who would go through 3 or 4 marriages while raising their kids... either takes the issue of marriage quite lightly or makes really bad choices which might be an indicator that they shouldn´t be exposing their kids to those choices.

RE: Is this forum really international?

Eileen, there´s no doubt that you´re from Ireland!!!

RE: Is this forum really international?

Just like some guys will try to B.S. you in a bar, the same thing can happen online, but easier as you can´t see them but in general most people are pretty cool. Good Luck!!!

RE: Don't be a 'many times' married mum....

Absolutely not! There is a big difference between leaving a bad marriage and getting married 3 or 4 times.

I was divorced when my daughter was 2 years old and made the decision not to have relationships while I raised her. I did see the need for her to have good male role models in her life, since her dad wasn´t around... and my dad, 2 brothers and best friend provided that. She also was able to experience successful, loving relationships by being around my family.

I don´t expect all people to make the same choice I did, but they should take their kids into consideration and not expose them to relationship after relationship.

RE: Don't be a 'many times' married mum....

Yes, I think they do... and I think it creates a lot of insecurity in a child. How many new "dads" or "moms" is a kid supposed to deal with? Look at the turmoil breakups create in an adults life... so much more traumatic in a childs life as they have no control over the situation.

Personally, I think people who put their kids through multiple marriages are incredibly selfish.

RE: Are you ready for a long-term relationship?

Had a lovely day... I cooked Thanksgiving and had several friends over, quite the continental group... Denmark, Wales, Australia, England, France and Spain... the first Thanksgiving meal most had experienced and I think they enjoyed it... the only problem I had was I couldn´t find any fresh cranberries and had to by tinned cranberry sauce.....that and a sink full of bloody dishes and pots that are just going to have to wait until tomorrow!!!


Hope your day is good!

RE: Happy Thanksgiving

Well it´s after 11pm here and I´m still stuffed.... had some friends over to let them see what a real American Style Thanksgiving is all about... and yes, I made everyone take a minute to say what they were thankful for... What a lovely day, Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving!

RE: Are you ready for a long-term relationship?

Ready and available

RE: If You're Alone !!

Making friends

Looking for that special guy

Doing volunteer work to help kids

If your life is that empty it´s your own fault... find a reason to matter.

RE: Women, I have a date. Can you sort an ol’ geezer out?

Sweetie, if it´s the lady I think... and I´m sure it is, you know the only thing necessary is that you be yourself. Just be sure and use lots of lip balm for extended kissing sessions! Nothing yummier then soft, unchapped lips...

RE: What do you think would happen if you put a hundred $ (£, Euro, SFR, LEV) bill

It depends what country you´re in. In the US... chances are you´d be going to jail, in Mexico 50 dollars will do.

RE: Please share if you had something good happen today/tonight...

Awwwww I wish I was there to take Em shopping.... you´ve spoken so openly about her, I feel like I know her!

RE: Happy Thanksgiving everyone

Hey Sweetie! Good to see you, I hope you have a really wonderful Thanksgiving!

RE: You say Something, I say Something, We all say Something to Someone!

No apologies!!! It was loads of fun, great laughs and even a bit educational! At least Mastic seemed to get an education!

Definitely one of the best nights on CS that I´ve had in a long time... and no one getting nasty with anyone!

RE: Turkey Dinner..

RE: What is the most obvious spot in a car to hide something?

RE: Im 50 and single

No.... there are still a lot of us "old broads" with some kick left.... I love scuba, and trekking the rain-forest, at 40 I spent 3 and a half years backpacking the world, did white water rafting, bungee jumping, para sailing and hang gliding... but when it comes to something like off-road mountain biking... I´m sorry but I learned a few years ago that I don´t bounce anymore... and if I take a spill it´s likely to wind up with broken bones.

Maybe instead of someone to share the extreme part of your biking, you can look for someone who is supportive of it instead... and find things to share that don´t involve broken bones?

I look for men who are able to keep up with me... but it´s more on a social level, I love music and dancing and often don´t get home until the sun is coming up... my energy goes into dancing and socializing, having fun on the beach and throwing great BBQ´s.

Perhaps instead of being so focused in looking for a bike partner it would be good to open yourself up a bit more to someone who is lively, fun and supportive allowing you to pursue your passions while she pursues hers and finding a middle ground to share?

RE: Warning Signs....

Well you two guys hit on 2 of the main redflags! Lago, what you said is actually on my profile!

Also bad hygiene... if when you first start dating a person doesn´t bother to attempt to look and smell good... can you imagine how bad it would be down the road?

ok... Now I´m trying this picture thing all by myself....

sorry guys... that didn`t work...

ok... Now I´m trying this picture thing all by myself....

RE: Guys who cook - what special meal would you prepare to impress that special someone on a first date

OHhhh no.... don´t tell me you cut up chilies with out gloves.....

RE: Drinks with a young 'un

That´s cool and kind of what I thought it might be...

I had a friend over visiting during the summer and she was shocked when we went into a club and these cute young guys kept coming up and giving me hugs and kisses... I have a lot of young male friends who like an older woman to talk to especially about relationship stuff and where they´re going in life... and even if it is just as a friend, it´s still a hell of an ego boost to be sitting at a table with a couple young cuties getting you drinks and making sure you´re having a good time.

RE: Dogs are comical...

Years ago, at 18, when I got my first apartment... not in a very good area, I had some trouble with drunks banging on my door and a bit of harrassment when I went to the market. My boyfriend at the time had a dog that his brother had been keeping for him and he decided to give him to me for protection. What a beautiful dog... half malamute half wolf. The next time I went to the market... the guys that normally gave me a hard time were all pressed against the wall shi*ing themselves as I walked by with Damnit, every hair standing on end growling....

RE: Drinks with a young 'un

Ok... don´t leave us in suspense.....
