RE: do any of you agree that share-holders should be able to vote on executives salaries and bonuses

That's what proxies are for.

All the companies that I own shares in send out proxies.

I do have a say.

RE: Disabilitys

thetallone1,

I read your profile.

You said you had an operation and your hands shake. Is that your disability?

The thing that bothered me more than shaky hands was what you said in your "What I'm Looking For" section.

You said if you didn't get what you are looking for in a woman (hugs, etc), you would "stray and find it elsewhere"

That isn't very encouraging for women here to know that

Plus, sorry to say, your gut shows prominently in your picture.

Try a new picture, cut out how poor you are and how you might stray and you'll be all set.

RE: Give someone a compliment

Hey E...

I disappear here frequently.

But I always enjoy reading "you".

RE: Where is everybody?

I left too.

RE: Do We Truly Want To Date Or Just Chat?

I absolutely agree with Ray

I have tried to find a real life date on this site....for four years, as most of you are probably sick of hearing.

And I have tried to put in the hours that it takes to answer emails and send flowers to keep a possible connection going.

But as of yesterday, I gave up.

I don't have the time to find a date here. I have dial-up and it takes FOREVER just to logon!

And I have no time to put up with the drama of the forums.

So connecting for me is now ENJOYING the forums and hopefully staying in touch with online friends here.

RE: Due to the great number of mean natured threads of all types....

And hence the reason that many of us just read and don't post much anymore....

New people will arrive and the forums will continue.

RE: Today's thought.....................

Sounds like the forums.....

RE: Has your online dating experience been fruitful?

Wow, Snuggs

I know exactly what you mean.

After four years here, now I'm only looking for friends an conversation.

And as Len said on hs thread today, friendly conversation is sometimes hard to find.

I refuse to change into some sweet talking little chit who flatters and flirts.

To thine own self be true!

RE: Due to the great number of mean natured threads of all types....

So true

RE: Who over 40 workout regularly?

I hardly ever sit down to eat big chunks of meat like steak or meatloaf.

Instead I do a lot of oriental dishes, that have small bits of meat and lots of veggies.

And I do physical work, so I burn off most fat.

RE: what is the best movie ever made ........ feel free to suggest alternatives

Hahaha...

Let's do the Time Warp again!!!

RE: Tags... on your profile

I have eight tags on my profile, but I've never noticed that it had an effect on those who contact me.

erhaps it's a good tool for being proactive and seeking out those with similar interests instead of waitng for them to find you??

RE: So, Are You A Good Cook.....

Good for you!

I think it's really fun to try new ingredient combos.

And a wok is a terrific way to try oriental dshes that usually come from a chinese restaurant, without the MSG.

RE: What's Ailing me? Codex Alimentarius: Outlawing everything good for you.

Heard about this today...

I'm still buying seeds

RE: So, Are You A Good Cook.....

Cooking is my second favorite thing to do..

Actually, I cook most things from scratch.

I have fresh veggies from my garden, eggs from my chickens and I'm considering getting goats again for milk and cheese.

I love Italian, French and greek recipes.

And I can make sushi

RE: Quel est la meillure façon de trouver une femme?

Je ne recherchant pas un femme

RE: In your opinion, how many users on CS are genuine?

In your other thread that is now locked, the moderators explain how they protect us from scammers on this site.

I also want to let you know that we are not clueless here and some of us are quite knowledgable about internet security.

Are you now working as a member of the CS staff?

RE: Is there anyone able to translate following? Thanks

Ah, that's better.

And spoken in Italian....Yum!

RE: What is the most important in finding a partner? It is a person's.....

I think lots of times we hesitate and miss out on opportunities.

That first impression is at least worth a try, a flower, a friendly word to see what develops.

RE: What is the most important in finding a partner? It is a person's.....

Yeah, like "we have a winner here" sort of moment.

RE: Moving!

RE: why our children must suffer?

You can?

You're sure they come from a "broken family"?

Or are they from a family where the partners are miserable, abusive to each other and TOGETHER?

You're sure, huh?

RE: When my parents get old and sick, I will......

They're dead!

RE: Obama and Special Olympics

So 00Spy...

Are you handicapped?

Do you have handicapped family members or close friends who are handicapped.

If so, how do you deal with people who make fun of handicapped people, or the people who make a joke without thinking of the feelings of handicapped people.

Tell us all of your experiences in the world of the handicapped.

RE: In your opinion, how many users on CS are genuine?

I really wonder about the ones with no pictures.

RE: Would you marry a person or seriously date a person that had s special needs child?

My son is nineteen years old, severely disabled, CP, MR, non-verbal, wheelchair bound and lives with me.

Yeah, I understand....

RE: IN THREE WORDS I CAN SUM UP EVERYTHING I'VE LEARNED ABOUT LIFE

Yep, it goes on.....

RE: Would you marry a person or seriously date a person that had s special needs child?

"it's not the childs fault"

Care to explain that wording???

RE: Obama and Special Olympics

Oh come on, as if this never happens

Being handicapped, one gets used to it. Don't like it, but it happens ALOT.

Plus, most people who put their foot in their mouth like that are not even aware until they realize afterward how "politically uncorrect" their joke was.

Happens on here all the time!!

RE: Niceguyaaa and Fallenangel74 are meeting!!

If you have doubts, recruit a friend to go along.

I do find it strange that you don't have an address for him and could not sent him cards.


The nervousness shouldn't come for the reason that he's an ax murder

It should come more from the possibility that he has a wife or girlfriend who picks up the mail
