RE: The Right Now Thread

Right now am watching my daughter go thro' my wardrobe to find a white shirt for role playing at school tomorrow.

Hey, I'm chuffed I am the same size as my hot 16 yo.

Somehow I don't think I look quite as hot as she does.

RE: New

Hi Robert, you sound like you have the right attitude robert. Upwards and onwards buddy and best of luck. Made a good start by joining the forum, you never know who you might meet on here?

RE: so the question starts like this...................

Lok I am trying the bargaining idea at the moment.

You're looking for your favourite jeans? Oh they've not been washed? That's too bad, might wash them tomorrow - if I feel like it.

What's for dinner? Nothing at the moment - don't feel like cooking again, might do it later, then again I might not.

Maybe when you start to do some of the things I ask you to, within a reasonable amount of time then I'll think about doing stuff when it needs to be done?

Sounds fair enough to me.

RE: The Right Now Thread

Right now thinking of taking a couple of Panadol,had a great night, danced all night, feet a tad sore.

Rain clouds coming over, yeeeeeah, great afternoon for snuggling on the lounge and stick a DVD on. (wheres the emoticon for a choc top??)

RE: The Streakers Thread

How about a bit of variety? What about a spot of skinny dipping now that we are in spring??

RE: The Right Now Thread

Right now after picking up daughter from part time job (again) and dropping her off to watch her friends dance show thingo I am thinking how different my life will be in about 12 mths when she gets her 'P's and I won't have to be mum taxi.

Oh yes, she got her 'L's on Monday!

Had first lesson Monday night She had improved at the end of the first half an hour and I drank a bottle of wine within half an hour of getting home.

All good - I think?

RE: The Right Now Thread

Welcome to CS WillyTee so what are you doing right now??

RE: cant get a date

Can only think there can't be too many single, available men within 100 kms of Monbulk wherever that is?

Think you might have to stretch that a bit and maybe prepared to travel a bit if isolated??

Best of luck

RE: dating sites. Does it work?

Dragondog you're dribbling-let me wipe the dribble from your chin.

Identity Theft

Yep and I am thinking a lot of younger/less experienced people who are keen for work would maybe not be so wary??

Identity Theft

Just reading in the newspaper about the latest Identity Theft via bogus job interviews!!

In a nutshell, company advertises jobs, get people to go along for interview, hand over private information/details to find out much later that company doesn't exist.

Admittedly the 2 guys who got scammed in the Brisbane area gave over bank details,copies of their birth certificates, drivers licences, bank statements, tax file nos. etc. to a company meant to be Secure Waste Management Services.

They have since found out that companies have been opened in their names naming them as sole directors, bank accounts in their names, Pay pal accounts.

It is sad and sickening to think that vulnerable people are being preyed on.

Some tips to avoid identity theft such as above
* check out a company's history via internet or phone books
* does 'office' have any landlines or only mobiles?
* an employer only needs your name and contact tel no in initial interview
* only supply bank details after you start the job
* ask why they are recruiting? training?

BE WARY EVERYONE!!

RE: brisbane

Hope all goes well for you? Were you never in the Boy Scouts - be prepared?? Mobile - check, laptop, just in case mobile doesnt work - check. Coins for phone just in case mobile and laptop don't work. Phone book just in case mobile not working and can't remember anybodys no. Website addresses in case none of the above work and you can persuade the nurse to log on and leave a message for everyone.

RE: Parking tickets

Got off a parking fine a few years ago when the Gold Coast went from meters, put your $2 in and the clock ticks away to the new paper system where you have to put your money in machine, get a paper ticket, put it in left hand side of windscreen.

I did, only trouble was it was a wild windy day and when I put my ticket in windscreen it blew over and I didn't realise. I HAD paid for parking, so I photocopied the ticket and sent it off along with a letter, single mum, parked outside hospital, child with life threatening illness etc etc. they waived it, but I was honest in the first place.

RE : Has someone put something in the water?

All that is very well dragondog but can you cook.

RE: so the question starts like this...................

All of the above Lok, first thing you have to do is sort a few things with the g/f and present a united front against the kids!

You both have to be on the same page as far as what is acceptable and what is not. It won't work if you make a stand and your partner disagrees or backs down - then the kids win.

Teenagers - well as I have said before Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus and when I find out where teens come from I am sending them back.

The more people you talk to who have teens the more you realise yours are no different, lazy, untidy, lack of conversation other than a grunt, think they live in a bloody hotel, always on the net or mobiles ......... but you just have to hang in there and not give up on them, that's why you had kids isn't it?

Best of luck buddy.

RE : Has someone put something in the water?

Just out of interest - when was the last time you had a good cry? Hang on, wait, let me get the Kleenex at the ready

RE: Mid North Coast It's All Good

Well it is a beaut day on the Gold Coast as usual, been working this morning, but out for dinner and drinks tonight.

RE : Has someone put something in the water?

Don't know if it is happening more than usual but I am so over the crying, blubbering, wailing that goes on these days.

I am talking about every time you turn on the TV,here's a few just lately ....

* The World Cup Soccer, they win a match they are kissing each other and crying, they loose a game they are crying.

* Masterchef (haven't seen one episode but the trailers are enough). 2 'chefs' in front of 3 'judges' with too big egos, both or one of the chefs ends up blubbering. Give me a break, it's a game.

* Cadel Evans - Tour de France, not sure why he was crying, something about a fractured arm and not having a chance of winning a green/yellow whateva T-shirt.

And then to cap it all off we have the now ex-Prime Minister, Mr. Kevin Rudd, lip quivering, blubbering, tearing up at his farewell looser speech!!

I am so over it? Where are all the real men these days? What happened to grin and bear it? Taking one for the team? Man up for God's sake.

Think the days of the SNAGs are over, come on fellas step up to the mark.

RE: Random Comments .....

Personally I prefer to be single than be with the wrong person or a ***t who doesn't treat you well.

RE: cowboys

I think they did ..........errrm ridem cowboy. from what I remember of the movie.

RE: cowboys

Well who would have thunk it before that movie? And why not?

Better be careful what you wish for beenthere.

RE: cowboys

I am taking it when you say 'cowboys' you are not thinking of the Heath Ledger-Brokeback Mountain type?

RE: christchurch woman

He's gotta have a good chance his criteria is pretty broad, single and from Christchurch??

Good luck blueis

RE: cowboys

There's a few on the Gold Coast at the Outback Spectacular But they are real, honest, seen them riding horses.

What do you have (2) ??

I have discovered after about 40 years of buying handbags that the bigger the handbag the more CRAP I stuff in it!!

Then that bag has to be superceded by a more functional, bigger bag to stuff even more crap in??

RE: Sacrifices made..

That is so profound.

RE: slow email response time

No worries Toffee, you are first in line!

Hope things work out your end - and mine - hey just had a great idea - maybe we can have a double wedding.

Do you think I am jumping the gun a bit?

What do you have (2) ??

Probably only for the ladies this one - but maybe you guys have found something surprising in a ladies handbag??

Have to say I don't have anything other than the usual, lipstick, comb, pen, notebook, wallet, tissues, perfume, keys, mobile ... old tic tacs, old supermarket dockets???

Anybody find anything exciting/shocking in their handbags??

And be honest girls.

RE: New in Sydney

Aaah mate, these young gals on here are just too fussy. I'll come and have a drink with you mate.

Trouble is I am about 1,000 kms north of Sydney and probably about double the age of the folk you are looking for??

Good luck junge. Prost.

Sure it won't take you much time to hook up with a good crowd to hang out with??


Damn and you got kicked out of the World Cup Soccer toomate.

Don't worry you are in good company, England,Australia, USA......

RE: slow email response time

It's all good so far, had a couple of chats with him and sent a few funny texts, he definitely has a sense of humour!! Must have to put up with me and my crap and we haven't even met!

He IS busy, travels all around the state with his job by the sounds of it. Made a date to meet next week as he is away with his job until then?? He thinks it is hilarious that someone can be so hot under the collar about a phone call.

Wait and see for the next installment.

Yes, Martia you are probably right I probably was a bit harsh, but it's all Toffee's and Skippys fault - I had this thread in mind and was thinking "Cut the BS man, is it on or not!"

Believe it or not - I am taking this whole net dating with a huge pinch of salt, not too serious at all (he is not from this site-oh hell, dont think so any way ) (sorry mate if you are reading this!! ).

I am just having fun with it, if I meet someone who blows me away - great, if not I might meet some nice guys who are not right for me but might suit a friend.
