RE: What's your excuse?

I know the feeling

All is well, thanks. Another busy year ahead(what's new?lol) and another very interesting one. Lots on the horizon....Must simplify it a bit though, one of these days

I agree about the long distance thing. Very do-able, but only where both people have a genuine desire and tenacity to do what it takes to keep communication channels open and active.

RE: What's your excuse?

It's not the topic, which is a great one, btw...more about the OP, in this case, your good self ...On the Inters (and once on EU), what usually happened since the advent of the 'hidey' button, my posts disappear (or completely ignored) ...

...Good to see you are one brave warrior, kid!

RE: What's your excuse?

Seek and you shall find.

RE: What's your excuse?

Nuala, hello lovely lady. ...It's been a long time - so nice to see you....I don't venture over to the Inters much - it's too scary, 'cept maybe for kid's threads..

RE: What's your excuse?

You must be in the 0.00000001% of men on CS, who would do that.

RE: What's your excuse?

You are doing a fab job answering each post, kid.

On another thread, I felt completely invisible...I had posted at length, yet the OP responded to everyone else's post but mine.....Must have used invisible ink.

RE: What's your excuse?

Not much to perve at in my profile, so you haven't missed much.

Hanging out and having dinner can't be done at any time with anyone, I guess (it's just that I don't generally, I'm such a bore,lol)...

I interpreted your post about me ending up with a man in Australia and one in Italy, as meaning something more than just having dinner. (which would never happen, having 2, that is).

RE: What's your excuse?

Well, if so, it can only be one and the same man ...but nah, don't think it will be anyone from Aussie Land.



(in my profile, it does say I am a one man woman )

RE: Did she over-react too soon?

Good riddance to him if he is such a stick in the mud. If he won't allow them to get past such small hurdles, he will be hopeless resolving anything else.

I don't think that Kaybee needed him to buy her food, such as is the case with yourself.

RE: What do you do when you fnd a friend is suffering depression?

Talk to your friend about your concerns, and let them know of the changes you've noticed in their behaviour. Suggest that they would benefit from talking to their doctor firstly, with the view to being referred to an experienced counsellor/psychologist, for urgent treatment of their emotional state. Under the Medicare Better Health system, they should qualify for up to 10 consults per calendar year, allowing them a rebate.

Your friend may or may not require temporary medication, but this needs to be professionally assessed, depending on how much in 'crisis' he or she is....Ultimately, let them know that you are there as their friend and for support.

All the best for your friend.

RE: What's your excuse?

The man I like doesn't want me...The men who like me, I regard only as friends.

But now I'm trying to identify the excuse...I know there must be one, because you said so, and as a man, you would never lie.

RE: Did she over-react too soon?

Hi R,
Kaybee wrote that he repeated it after she ignored the comment first time around. I guess he was doubly nervous

Also, she called him and apologised, but no mention of anything much as a result, other than 'end of story'....



C'mon, Kaybee, we need to updated ...Has he agreed to meet, accepting that you were both a bit touchy with pre-meeting nerves?

RE: Desiderata - Desired Things

Ah, Tule, you've reminded me of all my remaining wishes...way more than only two, however!

Must get to work on my wish list.

RE: bring back the noose

hey curly,

Dunno why you bothered to start a different laughing thread!!!

Here's one right here...

RE: Create your own music...

A very wise woman!!:)

RE: Losing a best friend

Wondering what's happend Wash...how is your buddy? Gotta say I do feel a bit concerned now. Hoping for the best result though.

RE: Your Favourite Song At The Moment

You're really such a bag of soppiness, aren't ya??!!

RE: wave

I have a dear, old friend who is a retired hypnotherapist. Years ago, he arranged for a few of us to try an experiment, where he guided an astral travelling or teleportation session. Mind you, he does have a very powerful mind, once focussing on the winning ticket and won himself a new merc in a charity car lottery....
I only attended on one occasion. An interesting experience. There are now countless reports from near death experiences, where the 'spirit' leaves the physical body. Nothing new as such.

I once knew a quantum physicist who treated the concept of teleportation as child's play, apparently the easiest thing in the world to do.

RE: wave

That would be no problem...you could all live happily in one big lunatic assylum.

Or you could come over to Italy, as many Brits do, where everyone says bon giorno to whomever them they meet, wherever that may be.

RE: wave

Oi, you!....Yes you... ...have a happy day!

RE: wave

Hi whitehorse,

A great topic. Thank you. it is a pet area of mine and I help people as part of my chosen field, to do this and I do this well....Having said this, I naturally have my own challenges and I am vigilant about addressing them. I read a lot on the area of creating our own reality based on principles of quantum physics. To quote Mike Dooley, 'Thoughts become things...choose them wisely'.

One example of taking positive action in my own life, lies as recently as yesterday, where I took up an offer of a free 30min 'phone session with someone way over in California. I bit the procrastinating bullet and made the initial contact and today's the day....I'm so excited! Allison is a survivor of being burned alive in an horrific car accident, and much more.... She is an artist and now a keynote speaker among many things, and I recently purchased and listened to her 6cd's. I am in awe of this wonderful human being, and in about 5hrs I will be speaking with her.

One other really lovely thing that reminds me to be positive, is my daily 'Notes from the Universe' which I receive, personalised for me, addressing me by my name. It does take some getting used to, reading every day, how fabulous I really am! :)

RE: Create your own music...

Oh, shoot, there go those bloomin emoticons again!!!!!

RE: Create your own music...

What makes you think you are not allowed, Martia? ...I just don't think we can assert with any accuracy, what that emotion is, let alone say it is aggressiveness that is displayed. They are only words on a screen, often written by people we don't know.

Anyway, back on this thread track...have you ever tried you hand at creating your own music? I can play drums, tambourine, used to take guitar lessons, and sing in various choirs including in an amateur theatre production of 'Mother Goose'. it was hilarious and loved every moment of that experience.

I have no hope of perfecting the use of the software which revealer presented here. Well, possibly, after mega hours of dedication.

RE: Desiderata - Desired Things

A little story about desired things....

About 11 years ago, my younger brother and I had been visiting my mother in hospital. On our way out, just before the exit door, we walked past a shiny, new vending machine, the kind full of bags of potato crisps, chocolate bars...One packet of crisps took my eye. The label 'Lime and cracked Pepper' jumped out at me. But it was the worst kind of teasing, as I didn't have money on me, neither did my brother. I stood there drooling at this exotic sounding delicacy which was eluding me...

Suddenly, we saw the chrome lever open up, and release one packet of these lime and cracked pepper crisps. The lever went back into position, and the packet fell to the bottom. All had occurred as it does every time you put money in such a machine. Except that on this occasion, no money had been inserted!!!...My brother and I looked at each other...well, he looked at me as if I was a freak!!! ...and I looked around, wondering who might have witnessed this event, waiting for them to carry me away and burn me at the stake as a witch!..No-one came of-course, so I leaned over and reached into the metal cavern and retrieved MY packet of crisps.


Moral of the story...if you desire something badly enough, you can achieve anything!!! ...(it's taken me all these years to truly appreciate the significance of that event).

RE: Create your own music...

None of us are mind readers, now are we? ...In any case, why should it matter if a man wants to beat his chest? Besides, I think chest beating in women occurs, too - just in a different way, don't you think?... ;)

RE: Create your own music...

.. Sorry, revealer, the last 2 emoticons are not in the correct place. My mouse isn't responding as it should, so I have to copy/paste the emoticons from the bottom of the post to wherever...

RE: Create your own music...

He's grown up way too fast...I can't believe where all the years have gone. I raised him on my own since he was 2.5yrs old. Thank goodness he survived his mother as well as he did ;)...

And nice to know the years of piano lessons paid off!!:)...
I remember when I first made the call to his piano teacher who had come with glowing recommendations - a voice on the other end, in the softest, gentlest but cheekiest of tones, said: 'Oh, yes..I specialise in little boys' ...I knew then that he would be perfect...Someone who was calm and with a good sense of humour!! ...

And he didn't let me down. He organised public concerts for all his students and it was just wonderful to see each of them, young and old, performing with such talent and confidence in front of an audience. The old fashioned soires he held at his home during the year were not to be missed. Lots of great memories. Thanks for bringing me back to them, revealer.

Enjoy your little girl as I know you are. She too, will grow up so fast right under your nose.

Oh, and I hear the count down starts for you!

Yes I say, bring back the moose!
