RE: IF YOU...

Agreed. The main aim would be to not let it destroy your life. The greatest danger is from family and friends. Now that you have serious money, they all see you in a different light, and soon they all come knocking for a handout. Pretty quickly, all your friends and family have become suspect spongers, and you don't know who you can trust anymore. Resentment kicks in, rivalry for your favours ruins relationships, accusations fly and you can never go back to the way it was before. Many winners go bankrupt in a matter of years. 10 mill sounds like a lot, but it isn't when you start adopting the life of a millionaire. Winning the lottery can be a curse.

But not if you don't let anyone know your 'good' fortune. laugh

RE: IF YOU...

1. Hire the best legal and financial people available.
2. Move into a penthouse suite with a sea view.
3. Order room service, a '64 Veuve Clicquot, and hide for 2 weeks.

Are we wasting our time here?

Gasp.....at last, a fan.

Are we wasting our time here?

Yes it is a waste of time, but the most interesting thing for me are the responses to certain subjects. Maybe that's why I post so many inane threads. Sorry.

So go ahead....define 'success' if you want.

After the next salvo is fired over the trade war, the NASDAQ is down almost 3%. doh

RE: The benefits of this site

To gauge the success of CS by how many couples it produces is perhaps to use the wrong form of measure.

I feel like Nero, fiddling away here on CS while the rain forests burn.

I agree. But at least this way I can get into an argument with myself, and win!

I kid you not.

The arguments for and against the death penalty.

Good job. I doubt anyone can argue with this one.

The End of the World as We know it.

This study out of Maryland pivots on two premises: that the present economic system will ultimately ruin the earth (Capitalist greed) and that the concentration of resources and wealth in the rich, will prevent any efforts to prevent ecological collapse (rich greed).

Is this scare-mongering? What's your opinion?

"Motesharrei's report says that all societal collapses over the past 5,000 years have involved both "the stretching of resources due to the strain placed on the ecological carrying capacity" and "the economic stratification of society into Elites and Masses (or "Commoners") ."



So Why did You Split Up?

Here's the next burning question (seriously) -




If you knew back then what you know now.......would you still break up with that ex?

So Why did You Split Up?

I can't for the life of me think why I didn't include that bullet point in the poll....

So Why did You Split Up?

Wow! wow

Good choice! laugh

RE: The benefits of this site

CS is friends without benefits actually. laugh

Um, give me an example of a stupid question.

Are we wasting our time here?

CS, you're at least my 5th favourite waste of time.

Please 'view' my profile.

Driver, sounds like we're in the same decade, you and I. Most of the mail you're going to get are by women in their 30's. Except that they're not women, they're scammers trying to get you offline asap, to wrangle private info off you. Block them.

RE: Is it possible for people who are single long term to adjust and enjoy a meaningful relationship ?

The perfect arrangement is if they live just nearby. That way, you don't have to face a grumpy late-riser with pillow-hair, morning mouth and a detailed breakfast order for you. laugh

Solitude is a luxury most appreciated after it is lost. grin

Anything seen, read, heard or done on this thread, stays on this thread.

If not, it's all Dilly's fault.

RE: Is it possible for people who are single long term to adjust and enjoy a meaningful relationship ?

Imo it doesn't depend on the length of time being single, as much as on one's individual personality. Some of us are very social creatures, needing company, some set in their ways, finding it difficult to compromise, some of us are solitary by nature, and find it challenging to share their privacy. I do think that the older one gets, the less flexible we all become.
