RE: Have you ever met true love on a dating site ?

yes...we met online, we met in real life, I moved, we are we and it is real and true love, strong and committed...not perfect, because we are human, but with the best intentions and the want to be as good as we can be...

RE: Finding Reality

Oh yes...you were meaning that one should drink piss warm pineapple juice, correct? Yummy stuff and does so much for one's state of mind!!!

RE: Finding Reality

Although, let's remember that reality is what it is...the trick to it all is learning how to deal with it and alter our course a healthy and mature way! Of course, drinking too much may alter one's state of reality to such a point that they lose touch with said reality...permanently!!

hell to the yeah!!! I like that...and if it makes me a not so good person...oh well...bring it on ---I like it, well, other than the fact that we do have room for out 2 official languages

RE: Does your level of education affects your relationship?

I agree with alot of what you said Kim..so no need to be a "repeat pete".
I do believe that it is not so much "education, especially formal education: that defines someone's store of knowledge. I have university, Glen does not; but there are many things that he knows that I don't. Some of the knowledge we share we gained in different "schools" and perhaps I know the formal terminology to a higher degree, but it's really all the same.
We learn from each other, we compliment each other, where one lacks the other tends to compensate...
I think that this harmony is what makes all of life's relationships enduring and fulfilling. Those who are too much alike will combust; those too different will grow apart. Those who seek out people to intellectually dominate and belittle, will probably grow old lonely (or should)
Like most of life it's a balancing act....
...not sure of I explained it very well either...

What's for supper....

Greek chicken breast and oven roasted vegies - getting a little help in the vegie dept. from M&M meats - absolutely delish and saves me tons of time...might make a bit of rice too...or sweet potato fries

RE: Relocating............

My great grandparents farmed in the Moose Jaw area from the time they came to Canada - they retired in the city. it's a neat place to visit - with the bootlegging tunnels that Al Capone and his gang used during prohibition...pretty remarkable stuff. And Gordie - Regina is actually a pretty nice city, not as nice as others, but has alot of offer being the Capital..and I was born there
Canuckken, you have to go where your heart tells you to...the right place will come along and you and your life will fit into it And...it depends what you are looking for and looking to do...there was a time I never,ever thought I would be in the Yukon.

RE: whats that you're eating 09

What's for supper....

Just had a thought that we could share some of our meal ideas; what's in the plans; special recipes; etc. Just to help inspire us all. I am usually so flipping wiped, hardly can think of what to cook. Have a pressure cooker and a slocooker - sometimes just need a idea, quick, easy and cheap ( not a word, boys LOL)
Tonight I am making chicken taco salad and corn on the cob...pretty simple! And, am so excited, just got my order of Epicure spices....yummers!!!
What say ya'all...

RE: Relocating............

If memory serves me correct...Dawn moved to Niagra Falls and then back home...we haven't heard from her in quit some time. Hmmm, wonder what she has been up to...since you are all replying to a post that is over 2 years old...

Holland...so nice to see/read you!!! Hope you are doing well and staying happy

Having a hard time understanding

I find it rather interesting that you insinuate that I am dishonest about my education and my employment. I am very well educated and have substantial experience working as a very effective and valuable mental health worker; as well as working for people with differences in abilities. I have a very thorough understanding of psychiatric medications, psychiatric illnesses and behaviour/personality disorders. As well, I am very aware as to the repercussions of non-compliance. I have had to participate several times in the committal of people under the Mental Health Act. And I have to say, that the individuals diagnosed with paranoid and delusional schizophrenia whom I encountered were far more apt to hurt themselves than hurt others.
You have made the assumption that the woman that I was speaking of suffers from mental illness. At the time that this event occurred, there were no reports of any time of PPD or psychosis. The reports were that the authorities/justice system were planning a psych. evaluation. My reference to "playing the mental health"card was in reaction to being erroneously and flippantly used in the defence of violent crime. What this does is perpetuate the myths and stigmas surrounding mental illness and that those with mental illness have to face and battle against every day. Statistically, people with mental illness are far less violent than the general population. And yes, regretfully, our mental health system is so underfunded and therefor the supports are often very lacking, hence the situations do arise where people who do become a danger to themselves and others (the Manitoba greyhound bus tragedy comes to mind), are not detected quickly enough for effective intervention to occur...and several people fall through the cracks. We all try, but it is a wholly systemic problem that is the result of generations and there is no easy fix.
I personally know 4 woman who have bipolar disorder and 1 has schizoeffective disorder. I have witnessed the good, bad and ugly of the result of no meds while pregnant (and it's not always lithium) 1 lady is now in long time incarceration in a Provincial Psychiatric Centre for a violent and fatal crime. She elected to gift her child to a loving family.
As well, if we look at woman such as Susan Smith, or the woman who shot her children in Oregon in the "80's, killing one, paralysing another...both of these were diagnosed with having severe personality disorders, rather than mental illness. Personality disorders, such as narcissistic personality disorder, and anti-social personality disorder (psychopathic) do not involve chemical imbalances akin to mental illness. Hence, Some woman kill their children because they do...Yes, I understand PPD and psychosis...and if, by the grace of God, woman who suffer from this can get the support and understanding they need, and education, there will be far few tragic endings.
I have nothing but empathy and compassion for people with mental illness and their caregivers and families. I advocate for them, for more services, more supports, more education, for equality and employment and better life quality. And I resent you implying otherwise. Before you elect to pounce on someone and sit in judgement, perhaps it would be wise to get the whole story. Have yourself a great day...oh, and welcome to the CS forums, always nice to have people participating!
