RE: Decent folk.

Hiya Sommer! Pretty common expression over here. "Honest people" is just one interpretation. Can also mean lots of other things such as "normal, not weird", fun to be with/around, ect.

RE: Anyone here hoping to find a marital partner?

What happens, happens.

RE: Are you known by the company you keep

Think it makes perfect sense. You make friends based on commonalities. Basically, you associate with people that have similar moral values. The situation described would be a betrayal of the trust thats implied with a friendship.

RE: Why do people judge others by what they wear,do,or where they live?

Things been pretty good here lately! Busy time of the year for carpenters!

RE: Are you known by the company you keep

Sorry, guess I didn't read far enough. What you quoted above would NOT happen. "Can't do anything to help him/them." Authorities would become involved as well as child welfare, ect. if I couldn't help. I would see to that. See that as a form of sickness and, tho repugnent to me, it's something that needs treatment of some type. For the sake of a friendship, I would try to make sure that the individual got that. However, the close friendship would probably end; mainly because it was based on lies to begin with.

RE: Why do people judge others by what they wear,do,or where they live?

Hiya! I think everyone makes some type of assumption about other individuals based on initial signs. Dress, for example, tells me something about a person. Personally I would not care to associate with someone whose personal hygiene was sorely lacking. As far as where they live, does not enter into the equation at all. Traveled quite a bit and we all basically want the same things out of life. Now, as to what they do? THAT is important. Yes, I do judge people by what they do and how they act. That really defines what sort of person you are - what values you hold dear, and how you interact with others. Jmo.

RE: Are you known by the company you keep

If I'm to be known by the company I keep, absolutely NO ONE would know anything about me. I thrive on diversity and the differences that make us unique individuals. My friends/acquaintances are from all walks of life, culture, ethnicities, ect.. It's ALL good!!!!!

RE: HAI!!

Welcome! Have fun!

Couldn't resist!

Why Parents Drink

A father passing by his son's bedroom was astonished to see that his bed was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then he saw an
Envelope, propped up prominently on the pillow that was addressed to 'Dad.'

With the worst premonition he opened the envelope
with trembling hands and read the letter.


Dear Dad:

It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mom and you.

I have been finding real passion with Stacy and she is so nice.

But I knew you would not approve of her because of all her piercing, tattoos, tight motorcycle clothes and the fact that she is much older than I am. But it' s not only the passion...Dad she's pregnant.

Stacy said that we will be very happy.

She owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. We share a dream of having many more children.

Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone.
We'll be growing it for ourselves and trading it with the other people that live nearby for cocaine and ecstasy.

In the meantime we will pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so
Stacy can get better. She deserves it.

Don't worry Dad. I'm 15 and I know how to take care of myself.

Someday I'm sure that we will be back to visit so that you can
get to know your grandchildren.


Love, Your Son John



PS. Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at Tommy's house.


I Just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than a Report card That's in my center desk drawer.


I love you.


Call me when it's safe to come home.

RE: This may not be a thread for some...

10 years ago I went to wake my son and found him dead in bed. To this day I don't know for sure exactly how/why he died; the drs. and coroner could not give me a definitive reason. 2 years ago I lost my wife of 36 years after a 3 1/2 year battle with lung cancer. Having been through both personally, it's definitely easier being able to say your goodbys. To this day I have regrets about what could have been different with my son - things I could have told him that I didn't get the chance to say. Does that sound selfish? Don't know, just a fact. As people most of us hold life as that most precious commodity. We fight tooth and nail to hang on to it for as long as possible. Trying to put myself in that situation, I think I'd elect to suffer some to be able to put the final touches to my relationships with friends and family.

RE: Oldies Bands........

What "oldies" collection would be complete without Roy Orbison!

RE: Stop Smoking

Hiya Raven! Yeah, Chantex works REALLY well. I smoked for 50+ years. Tried quitting numerous times; nothing worked. Tried Chantex and have been off for about 6 months now. Fantastic product and I HIGHLY recommend for anyone who seriously wants to quit. You have to use for 3 to 4 months, but it reduces the cravings to a managable level. Worked for me and I wasn't sure anything ever would.

RE: Who is dating who here in CS?

Thx! It's out there; you just have to be open to it!

RE: Who is dating who here in CS?

Hey! What's the moping for?? Seems to be a lot of people "dating" one another on this site. Think they've found it seems to work better if they keep it quiet until it develops some. Makes sense to me! Personally, I'm dating a gal but I met her on another site. 6 months now!! WHOO HOO!!

RE: Hello from Sth of France

Have a nice glass of wine for me, dude!!

RE: The Shack

Yeah, read it about a month ago. Interesting concepts if not as well written as I would have liked. The concepts of love of self, love of others, vs organized religion strike a very deep chord in many people. Don't think I could do the "forgiveness" thing, tho, if I had lived through the circumstances outlined.
