RE: Ther eye of the beholder

Tell you what I noticed ...

Gongman and I met here on CS
We both posted the same photo of us together
I have now turned off the rating on mine, but before I did, I compared the rating of the photo on his profile to the rating of SAME photo on my profile
Rating on his profile FROM WOMEN was numerous but was a lot lower than on mine although I had less votes...
Rating on his profile FROM MEN was minimal but also a lot lower than mine although I had more votes ...

Not sure what to make of it ...

RE: About Soulmates ...

Yeah!! I wrote this a few months ago ...

Feeling blue

Woke up this morning
And I'm feeling blue
All because I'm missing
The very essence of you

You are not a person
You don't have a face
You are imagination
Rising to the surface

Woke up this morning
And I'm feeling blue
All because I'm missing
The very essence of you

You are not anyone
You don't have a name
You are the only one
Always will be the same

Woke up this morning
And I'm feeling blue
All because I'm missing
The very essence of you

You are one so unique
You don't know it yet
You are all, no mystique
But we haven't yet met

Woke up this morning
And I'm feeling blue
All because I'm missing
The very essence of you

RE: About Soulmates ...

Thank you Mano and Natasha

RE: About Soulmates ...

Thought you were Oh!! Smoky ... She of the many, deep, far travelled, multi-faceted wise mind

RE: Get together in Barcelona in sept/oct

we'll be there!!! Whenever ... Wherever!!!

RE: Get together in Barcelona in sept/oct

Hey Oslo!! Well done Lady for taking the plunge!! (No allusion to Elley's wet suit!!!! )

Is this a meet up fpr singles only, or can couples come too? Rusty!!! Take that thought out of your head now!!!! I was talking about attending not WHAT popped up!!

We would love to be there and we will if we are welcome!!

RE: Punctuation

So had I missed it ... Till I had to think of "something clever" to reply to you!!!

RE: Punctuation

Ha!! But see Elley even with the same punctuation, the same sentences can have 2 different meanings ...

Woman! Without her, man is nothing. - as in: man is nothing without his/a woman

Woman! Without her, man is nothing. - as in: human kind is nothing without women

RE: Do we see ourselves through rose tinted glasses?

I have discovered that "being an old fart" does not always have to do with looks!!! My first hubby looked younger than his age but boy, was he an old fart or what!!!!!!!!!

RE: Punctuation

Us ladies know which one is correct!!!

RE: Do we see ourselves through rose tinted glasses?

Jan only just saw your thread ...

Yeah in UK I'd look around me and think a vast number of people around my age looked and acted older than me ... Here in Spain, most people can't believe my kids are grown up and I have grandchildren ... Same as you I'm just lucky to have good genes ...

As for what Smoky was saying about clothes and looking foolish in "young trend clothes" my kids and even my Mum are under strict instructions to tell me if I start looking ridiculous And like Smoky I shall continue to buy my clothes in the younger fashionable style ...

For all the ladies to refuse to grow "old" before they need to!!!

RE: Who would want to be a teacher!

So did I till I felt for pastures new!!!

Sign of a great teacher ...










The students get upset if they CAN'T attend his/her class !!! So well done for having students that DO attend your classes Jan!!! As for your teachers ... may be they need to be made to sit through one of their own classes so they know "what they would do different" to keep the students keen Although sometimes it's the personnality of the teacher that keeps the students coming for more ... and there is little that can to done to change someone's personnality ...

RE: No picture of Elley, let's guess.....

So very pleased to meet you again Mr Elley!!!

RE: About Soulmates ...

Cathy!!! Long live Grandparents!!! Mine are no longer with us but my maternal grandmother was known as "Isabel la Verdaera" (Isabel the truthful) in her little village and people would go and consult her wisdom whenever something was troubling them ... Every now and then she "comes" and "chats" to me when I am troubled ...

RE: About Soulmates ...

I disagree with just about most of your post Antcus, but most strongly with the bit I have saved as your quote ...

About when we were born ... I think you'll find that NO ONE is born alone and a baby is COMPLETELY dependent on another source for nurishment, care and hopefully physical contact and love ... So YES!!! For a baby, being alone IS a matter of life and death!!! Children do NOT have a choice on how they live and most importantly, how they live (right or wrong) becomes "the norm" for them because they know nothing else ... until they are old enough to get out into the big wide world and see and listen and touch and smell ... then they start forming opinions or reactions to their new discoveries against the background of what they knew so far. Only then can they start "making choices and decisions ...

"The way we are" depends on many things and you have mentioned 3; 2 of which we can do little about (hormones - although one can take artificial ones if needed for medical reasons and physical built). Character, I would argue, we can do a lot with because the willingness to learn and mature alters people's character.

Although it requires a lot of effort, willingness to do so and self-work, "the way we are" can become "the way we were" to be replaced by "the way we are after emotionally maturing and growing"

IMO

RE: Picky's contribution: I got married last night...

Right!!!

For you just because !!

RE: Love and Commitment

Just goes to show how we all have different needs ...

If I were to hear the words "YOU are MINE" the steel shutters that would come down would be so thick that it would take some kind of special "sun" to melt them down again!!!

Reason for that? In my experience, men who have used that little "phrase" in the past, have been very possessif, stiffling and suffocating (such behaviour does NOT always follow those little words, sometimes one can have the behaviour/attitude without the words) ... Also in my experience, men who are not that way inclined are usually a little more choosy of the words they use to express their respect, trust and wish to be with you, and for you to be with them in an exclusive loving, caring relationship ...

You are mine and I am yours sounds soooooooooooo limiting that it immediately makes me feel like having a new hat made with the words "I am my own person be with me if you dare" OK!!! Might have to be a t.shirt coz my head is not THAT big!!!

You see in my mind to have to say the words "you are mine" already translates into a lack of trust. The opposite of what one should feel in a loving relationship ...

The beauty of NOT needing to say those words is in "the trusting of being exclusively together" because we want to, because we have chosen to, because we want to explore and grow together, within our mental, physical and soul/spiritual union ... That IS FREEDOM

IMHO

RE: Love and Commitment

I much much prefer ...

If you love something, let it go.
If it comes back, it is yours to be with (never just yours).
If it doesn't, it never was meant to be ...

RE: About Soulmates ...

From what I understand our SOLE mate is what is called a "twin flame" ... there is only ONE of those whereas we can have many soulmates ... I posted a link for Breeze which explains it all a little better ...
