sometimes you just have to give it a chance- i used to only go out with men i found really attractive- then decided that was stupid, and accepted a date with someone that had been asking me out for a long time, but i wasn't physically attracted to- suffice to say- it didn't work for me, but at least i gave it a chance. fast forward 25 years..... had a date last month with a friends brother- who i had met socially a couple times, but never really had a decent conversation with.... went up to meet him, and the moment i saw him... went back to my old ways thinking..' oh! he really doesn't do it for me' but we had a really nice night out. since then i have seen him another couple of times, and really enjoyed it and come to realise I find him really atttractive. so....?? was he not looking as good as he could that first time, or is it the fact that i enjoyed his company that changed things for me?? does it matter in the end??- just glad i gave it a chance
this is difficult since i , too, forget what people say most of the time, unless it's ugly, so i reckon you must get at least a 9 as i don't remember any offensive, intolerant posts!!= great reasoning eh?!!
well i did read today that the older you get, the fewer hangovers you get as the brain shrinks and has more space to cope with the swelling that alcohol causes!! so maybe the over 70's just aren't suffering when they come online and can be more tolerant!!
i suppose there is something to be gained form even the 'nasty' threads- in that they show the true underlying personality of people that are abusive in them, that have been masked by friendly threads.
personally speaking, there were some that i would have considered as nice, intelligent people that i would enjoy meeting. having seen, however, the way they can change after months and suddenly show traits that would make me run a mile from them, for that we should be grateful!! no??
debating, or even arguing, suggests that it is the persons opinions that are being discussed in a rational and respectful manner. that is not what i've seen here recently- personal attacks on someone, completely out of context with the matter in hand, name calling and peurile behaviour are not 'debate'
well said HJ- i have been aghast at the intolerance diplayed here recently by some. If some people act the same way in the real world, they must be involved in a lot of brawls
RE: I'm so happy!!!!!
told ya!!! did she have a big satisfied grin on her face????
