RE: This is for mothers

So sorry you went through such horrendous grief. I lost my first born at 20 weeks, after having to deliver her, as she was born with anancephaly(no brain).

When next my son was born, it was sheer joy and wonder. And gobsmacked because whenhe was handed to me, he had his eyes wide open and started straight into my eyes, with the deepest, knowing look. Then he looked to his right, and all around the room, settling finally on eyeballing me again! I wasn't prepared for this 'he's been here before' confrontation with my newborn!

Thanks, I really did need this laugh!!

RE: Can Long distance relationships really work???

Hi Raynew,

I know someone personally here in the town where I live, who has had a longstanding relationship which for all intents and purposes, falls into the category you describe. They choose to catch up ONLY at weekends, where she stays over his place. Never during the week, other than some 'phone calls during the week. His rules, and it's been working for them for years. He has been divorced many years, and has no-one else but this lady in his life.

She goes away on holidays on her own, and he continues with his day to day life with his buinesses. Essentially it's not so different than if they they lived 50 miles away, so even though they could catch up any time they liked, they choose not to.
They are happy.

So, really, whatever works, stick to it.

We're not talking about relating to the delusional delinquent population group of cyberspace.

I think it's because most of us are older, that perhaps the wisdom we have could work for us. But with everything, you have to feel comfortable, or it's not going to work very well.

Go on, Jan. Buy the young lad a ticket to heaven!

RE: Well perhaps I'm taking the next step

I thought you've already been separated a number of months. That is counted, so it should be 12mths minus the length of time already separated.Good luck with it all. Great that you're both communicating.

RE: Can Long distance relationships really work???

Hi Jan

Oh, I agree, so much time can be wasted, and we've all heard cases where one party or other hasn't been genuine. I have personal experience to vouch for that. We all have. As I said though, where the two people ARE genuine and genuinely interested in building a relationship, then distance is the challenge, not the deal breaker.

About people eventually finding out the match wasn't made in heaven, how is that different from 'close up' relationships that fall apart after a few years?

RE: Who are you meeting? .

What a lovely story to come across.
Congratulations to you both! What a

RE: Who are you meeting? .

Nah, just a friend, kizzy. At least for me it is.

Don't worry about the I love you's. It seems guys use it differently to us. It's about us ticking all their boxes, so I gather.....But run for the hills anyway. I have!

RE: PLAN A .....

Too funny.. Poor guy!!

RE: Im a big kid now :)

It's easy to go for starchy carb food cos it's cheap. But remember your fruit and veges and some protein. You can buy these really cheaply if you go to a large market near clsong time when they get rid of bulk fresh food really cheaply. Explore the markets and you will eaat reeally cheaply and healthily. Remember your proteins, even if it's canned sardines and tuna. Look for special everywhere you go.

All the best, study hard, but keep a balance and have a bit of fun, too. You're gonna be fine.

RE: Asian Girls

Where has gorgeous kanokwan gone? She is from Indonesia I think, and was such a regular here. Not sure what happened but I haven't seen her in ages. She was terrific at scrabble, and making short insightful comments

RE: Who are you meeting? .

Hi kizzy,

We could only choose one, so I selected the more positive of the two which relate predominantly to my situation...

Have met both a liar and also someone I'm still seeing (no, not one and the same - they are 2 different people )

RE: : )

Hello meinme, If I read it correctly, you are asking what does loyalty mean to me? For me, loyalty is an integral part of relationships, whether it be personal or with an employer. It forms part of my belief system, though I think it does vary widely, with some people finding it more challenging than others to understand the process.

RE: More than 1,000 blackbirds fall out of Arkansas sky

Wow, SF. That's one disturbing video. I was really struck by that lone blackbird on the ground, moving in circles, and unable to fly. I hope they get some answers.

RE: My Baby is going to Scotland!!

How proud you must be of your son's happiness and achievements. That just means a trip to Scotland awaits you this year, right?

RE: My Baby is going to Scotland!!

I know just what you mean. My son took possession of his new flat last night, and started ripping up old lino, I brought over a latter so he could paint...I told him how proud I am of him. So at 25, an intelligent, happy and capable young man, he is leaving the nest. I've been a single parent for 22.5 years. My job is done.

.....But I've already got a prospective lodger waiting
