RE: Are you known by the company you keep

My apologies, I failed to do as you did.

How remiss of me.

RE: Are you known by the company you keep

Snuggs did.

She also asked a direct question to Merky.

Which I answered.

And I believe you did too.

RE: WHEN WOULD YOU LIE TO SOMEONE YOU LOVE? (HONESTY PLEASE)

Hum, indeed, nobody ever lies, cheats here do they?

RE: WHEN WOULD YOU LIE TO SOMEONE YOU LOVE? (HONESTY PLEASE)

Summer and Tina

There is a thread in the EU about lying. It is interesting and that it is not okay to lie.

And thank the lord you ladies are in here.

Exactly, me too.

There are so many ways in which we lie, what do you think actors do for a living? They lie.

There is a difference between lying with malicious intent and telling a fib.

I told my husband once that a pair of shoes was £40 when in fact they were £100...

He told me that he would be home at 7.00pm and rocked home at midnight.

Lying with malicious intent, within a relationship is going to harm, of course it is, any person who is not devoid of sense and conduct knows this.

But it is the people who say that they never lie, that amuse me.

RE: Your mood today ......

My mood is great, some stupid cow put the wrong fuel in my car...

RE: Western Women

Thank you Ali for clearing that up for me.

I would have no problem with seeing a man from a different culture, it would not trouble me at all. In fact I am, sometimes I think he is from somewhere in space.

Anyway, would I leave my country to go and live with a person in India or Pakistan?

No. Because I would be too far away from my family and friends.

To be blunt. I have moved countries seven times and I am sick of it, I don't want to do it again. Certainly not that far away from my loved ones.

Europe is my home, has been since I was 14 with spurts of living in the UK, Middle East and the US.

I am happy here in Europe, the culture, the lifestyle fits me perfectly and I fit it.

So that's me. I'll read what other ladies say now.

My son.

Eh you!

Don't just drop in, with your 'I am now living in Italy' profile and not say hi!!!

Lovely to see you Riz.

RE: Lying about your age - is it acceptable? How much is acceptable?

Well, from a marketing standpoint, I never look younger when I buy a wrinkle cream.

All lies, I tell you.

RE: Lying about your age - is it acceptable? How much is acceptable?

A lie is a lie is a lie.

Messy is as messy does.

I, for one have never lied about my age.

I love how you end, with never mind.

It made me laugh.

RE: Lying about your age - is it acceptable? How much is acceptable?

Perfect.

I love 45 year old men.

My son.

Hi there.

Wow, you must be feeling fantastic.

I wish you all the best in your meeting with your son.

RE: I Really Struggle With This, What Are Your Views???

This is a great question.

Do we use the term too freely?

Yes, because it gives people something to squabble about.

And if a person is rejected, they can hide behind the term 'scammer'

RE: CNN & MSNBC.

You're the director.

What news would you like?

RE: CNN & MSNBC.

I prefer the BBC.

Evening Paws.

RE: Need to be educated please

Presume - Assume.

Often misused.

RE: Need to be educated please

It is common, very much so.

'To do' is how most verbs are negated.

Certainly in the guidelines given by my examination board.

RE: Need to be educated please

I can imagine they're thrilled, J.

Let's talk negation now.

How do we negate a verb in the English language?

RE: Be kind, this is International!

Hi Ashes.

I am a foreigner also.

There is an interesting thread in full flow at the moment, which you may want to join.

RE: Need to be educated please

Bear can be used in the term 'I cannot bear it'

RE: Need to be educated please

Your and you're.

RE: Need to be educated please

I agree.

Also, the other words that people often misuse and I have done it, are lose and loose.

I was playing scrabble this evening with my students, one of them asked the group 'Is Emilie not here?'

And the answer was 'no'

The answer should have been 'yes'

RE: Need to be educated please

Found it. Very good Snuggs, liking it.

And I love hugs and flowers.

Did I? No, not intentionally, I do get my endings mixed up, because I often get my languages mixed up.

For instance in German, the correct of saying I do not understand is 'Ich verstehe nicht' translated to I understand not.

Street German as it is often called, where as we would call it slang in English, is 'Ich nicht verstehe'

You corrected me, rightly so.

I knew that Ambrose would join this thread, it is right up or down his street.

RE: 50 forward or 50 back ..

I fancy being a 50's housewife. Those dresses!

I'll have a think on this one, a great thread.

My son.

Hoi Mrs 'I am in the desert'

Four years is a long time, but hell they never forget Mum's cooking do they?

Isn't it amazing when we look at them, all of us and see them and think 'how did we produce something so wonderful?

He sounds a delight along with his wife and I'm sure you are having a lovely time, all of you.

RE: serious statement

I do have a partner, you have talked with him. My father is the one who knows me from birth. So therefore, when a person says, 'you could never' then only he can make that call.

And yes he does know me well, but he has not known me forever.

Don't we all need to get down and dirty more? I have my moments don't you fret.

To the US; Sweden and Italy.

RE: Lying about your age - is it acceptable? How much is acceptable?

I did not realise their was an argument, but then I am still at work.

It is normal to catergorise, but it is not normal to label people I don't know.

That is a moral standard that I hold onto. Amongst others.

RE: Need to be educated please

Nice to have a discussion sensibly.

RE: ARE MEN DIFFERENT?

To err is human, FM.

I only just worked out that I am human.

Oh I have, I have indeed and life is suddenly simpler. I have unburdened myself from worrying about why I will never understand men.

I just love em...

Much easier.

RE: Lying about your age - is it acceptable? How much is acceptable?

Well, at least you only have one profile to post all that information on.

What I have found out about myself from other people here, I would need at least 22 profiles to fit it all in.

You're not perfect? I have never seen a person tell you that guiri. That you are not perfect, tell me who said that and I'll have a word.

RE: Lying about your age - is it acceptable? How much is acceptable?

Hi symbol.

This is often the problem and I have been guilty of it too, that people do not read carefully.

Maybe it was not so obvious, but I did use an example that could have been checked very easily.

But what gets to me, is the 'I never lie about anything' and condeming a person who has lied about their age.

It could have been a simple mistake, my point is now very clear in that we all have lied about something in our existence, there is a difference to me, in a harmless situation where a person lies about something and it can be cleared up than a lie that is with malicious intent.

Lying about ones age is pretty pointless to me, especially on entry to a new relationship, again, if you are hoping to find the one person and it lasts forever, then having to fess up about that lie is pretty much evident and the longer it went on the harder it is going to be.

That is wrong, because then that is misleading a person and that is never right, then the subject of whether it is acceptable from my point of view would change, because then it is not the fact that they have lied about their age, it would be deeper and the attempt to deceive me would be very much raised and questioned.

If perfect dream has been in this relationship for months and has found out by accident then only he can decide if is acceptable, it would not be to me. But if it is a person who I was meeting for the first time, then it would be something that I would clear up fairly quickly and be done with it.

I do not see the point in falsehoods, but I am not going to condemn a person and label them with titles because of a couple of sentences.

My point of view only and up for question should anybody wish to discuss. Not up for changing and altering to suit themselves.
