Riya Aries is having a right good old belly laugh tormenting me right now. You might have to wait until she can get back on her chair as she seems to be lying on the floor rolling about in fits of laughter... Don't you start too young lady, my poor old heart couldn't take the two of you at the same time here...
I am pleased as punch to see that you remain as stuborn as you were when last we spoke, but for the Love of Pete (whoever he is) look for the mail that has my silly picture beside it and please read it for old time's sake... C'mon buddy I feel like I am in labour here... you're killin' me...
Please take your amusement out on someone with a better sense of humour than this poor little Canadian boy. You were my biggest fan at one time and a very dear friend. And stop laughing at me... for God's sake my shamrock is wilting from your Irish glee...
The scandal is you taking your dad blasted time toying with my tiny little brain and causing me to go prematurely bald here waiting for you to read your mail... not the flower which clearly states that you have mail....
The one woman I would ever have considered a relationship with I met here by sheer accident. She lives 1400 miles away and in the United States. We spoke through CS email, email, telephone and skype more often that I spoke with people living locally. She was going through a very rough period in her life and so was I. We shared everything. I was very much in Love with her and was planning on going to see her. Everything I knew about her was everything I had ever wanted in my life. Things that were occuring on both sides delayed this meeting perhaps too long. I was in the process of selling my house and finalizing court papers in reagrds to my children and then she disappeared without a word. I have not heard from her in 4 months and my heart is lost. I do not understand what happeed and she will not respond to me in any way. She told me that she Loved me and this woman did not use those words lightly. I was in the process of getting paper work done to work in the United States, of becoming an American citizen but it was all too little too late. I harbour no ill feelings in any way. I am hurt of course but not angry in any way. Everything we had was more than I had hoped for from any woman again in my life. I had just settled my mind on staying alone and spending my life with frieds before I met her and I still have all of that. I left my heart in her hands as I know it was never in a safer place, and I do not regret a single instance of the time we shared. If I could go back and do one thing differently I would have raced to her side at the earliest opportunity, perhaps things might have ended differently perhaps not. I Loved her with all my heart and always will.
Check your posting rules buddy. Absolutely a big no no to advertise or mention other sites. This one is plenty good enough for us and they are kind enough to let us blather away to our hearts content. But we do not bite the hand that feeds us.
If you need something different just google and be on your merry way.
Ken, I do believe there has to be some sort of compatibility on a mundane level. Before the advent of internet dating it would be much easier to know that you shared at least a few common interests as you likely would have met them while you were out engaging in said interest. Now we have this modern marvel of the digital meeting place where we can say whatever we like and in some cases express ourselves in a lightly or heavily coloured way. You have to share some basic similarities to enjoy the quiet times together, or you will never really get close enough to share each other. But on the other hand if you were in such a compatible relationship and something happened to one of the two partners that prevented many of these shared events would that be enough to dismiss your relationship for greener pastures? For example two young lovers enjoy hiking, horseback riding, dancing, skiing, etc... and one of them contracts a disease that destroys the use of their legs. Do you let go and move on or try to find other things in common with which to share the little moments? I believe that in any relationship you will find things that perhaps you never knew you would enjoy through the passion the other person has for them. A relationship is never a complete package, it is constantly be upgraded and developed. It is a work continually in progress where two people fit into each others lives like a hand in a favourite glove. We have more than one set of gloves available and sometimes need to wear one that migt not be as comfortable to our partner but it does not make them less in any way. We all have things in common, it is just better to not delegate their apparent worth to one individual but to share them and seek a mutual definition for these events.
Anna the reason as to why more people respond to threads of negativity than to the positive ones is quite simple. A friend of mine here wrote me to tell me the answer to this one a fews days ago. She said that the nasty threads always get more reaction because the good people will always rally to face these assaults to provide responses for others to ensure their own point is valid. We have to remember that most of the people on CS do not post in the forums, many likely because they are too hurt or shy or whatnot to have any self-worth to their own voice. Yet if these vile derrogatory commentaries that consistently pop their heads up stand unchallenged they become the only point of bearing to the readers who may not know how to find another answer. I do agree it can get rather carried away but the last word is often the only one remembered. The pleasant threads do not get much posting (lots of views though) because when you read them they are fulfilling and rarely need more substance to prove their value. The negative posters do not often have the audacity to refute something which is entirely blameless sort of like stepping on a flower in public or stealing candy from a child. They will do so if unobserved but not often in the face of a potential avalanche. Sad but true and sometimes necessary.
Thank you for all the well wishes and condolences on my mother passing as well as the prayers a few nights ago. Death is a natural part of the cycle of life and is necessary to force the naturally lazy human to accomplish something of their lives. My mother passing was a gift to her, and end to the physical pain of her ailing body and not to be mourned. She will be missed but she will always live in my heart and the hearts of those who likewise loved her. Again thank you all for the kind words.
Physically sound even after having a piece of rock the size of a football knock my hard hat off at work and tear my shoulder up something fierce, and my mother passing away last night. But mentally drained and emotionally raw. Yet there is still some good in the world and the sun has even bothered to chase away the clouds and rain now. All in all minus the hundred little claw marks I am in fair grace right now even with all my personal troubles. Thank you for your comment and inquisitive nature
Put away the pic Shelly... put it down and step back from it... Croty is trying to get out of this one with some sort of dignity... he will never say he is wrong, his assimilation into the Borg will not allow it but he is fighting with the last vestige of humanity still in his automated form to make some kind of peace here.... Put it down no need for the pic...
Ironic how so many fail to see that 50/50 and so/so are much the same thing. They then fail to see the irony in the failing of their relationships as they expected so much more yet only put in their 50/50 or so/so... expecting the rest to come unfairly from the other. Place any man or woman in a den of lions and I am sure the definition of 100% will soon come to mind and then they will wish they had their significant other with them to give their equal allotment as well to give them a fair chance to overcome the odds.
I haven't slept at al, the sky is grey and dismal yet the trilling sound of little birds frolicking at my bird feeder sing songs pleasant enough to crack a smile on my worn face. My window is open and I can smell the damp grass and glistening needles on the pine twenty feet away. My cat is purring in his eternal Love mode carressing my scalp with his nedde sharp claws and rubbing himself into some fit of amour on my head and shoulders while he desperately seeks to avoid falling off the back of my chair. Life is good and the world around me goes on proving that there are only new beginnings and never realy endings.
Riya you are endeavouring to recocile logic and compassion in an automaton. Crotalus has not the life experience to recognize the difference and is overly fond of using his always right stance to defende against any perceived injustice. He is utterly lacking in tact and though you have reached out to him to rectify some part of this he yet remains correct in all ways that matter to him... to himself. He does not care how his coarse words affect others he is a professor... not in any sort of educational form merely in his ability to profess his truth. Resistance is futile prepare to be assimilated...
Nice try though especially as it comes from the heart from you. An attempt to exonerate all parties and restore healthy camraderie. You are a good woman.
Jenny I do meditate and fast quite often as well. I find it is very cleansing to remove myself from the physical especially when I am delving into abstracts. Love for me is a force separate from humanity, much like electricity but not with as much work involved to use. It radiates upon us all and will easily enter us and then can be shared freely. The greatest resource we have any hope of ever using. Some people have managed to build up a sort of sun-screen to prohibit this but they are not immune just defiant. I also analyse everything that goes into my brain. Usually days or months after I have absorbed it to make certain that the events which led me to it or the idea of it do not conflict or colour what it really is. When you meet someone for the first time, sit back after that encounter and write down everything you can about it. Put it away and do not look at it again. A month or two later write down everything you can about that person again. And then take out the first copy and look at them beside each other. There is sure to be many things that we guessed or wished, or otherwise misinterpreted. The entirety of your relationship with this person you will always find these little oddities and discrepancies because we are getting a clearer and clearer look into what makes them who they are. Also we will begin seeing them for who they are and not who we want or need them to be. Money and any material resource are fine but I would trade everything for a Love that is as I Love. All the other stuff can be regained with a little elbow grease and determination. Love is eternal and cannot be forced, beguiled, begged for or any other sort of manipulative desire. I take Love into me that is pure and give it out in the same form as often as possible. Trying to light your house with a burnt bulb is useless, and sometimes we have to get a new one, but Love is infinite and with some healing of our hardwiring we can learn again and again to give it out freely to others. Sometimes we share a bit of Love with someone and it does not come back, but it does manage to fire up their own ability to Love themselves again and from this they will be able to go out and share Love with others themselves. Perhaps in doing so they might 'heal' someone else who heals someone else who ends up healing the one you were meant to find. When I Love someone it is forever. I may not have the opportunity to openly share this Love with them but I will always Love them.
I am only responsible for my own words and actions. Nothing anyone does can make me see this differently. They are responsible for their words and actions as well. Occasionally words are said and little things are done that are responses to other things than what lie at the core of the issue, but those should be dealt with as separate from the issue at hand. A bad day at work can jade your mind and this has no bearing on any person who is not directly responsible for whatever it was that happened. We tend to complicate things too much and hold all of those feelings inside, so that when we do let some of it out, too much that is irrelevant also slips out. Guilt is a tool of those who have erred to cover their own tracks, and is not anything I desire in my life now or ever. Of course everyone makes mistakes just as long as they are not continuous or deliberate they will be forgiven.
My Love remains intact no matter the situation. Being upset does not destroy it or impair it. Love for me is unconditional and not something that can be manipulated. Whether or not it is received or reciprocated is not truly relevant. Obviously there is no use in sharing this Love with someone who is incapable of experiencing it and sometimes we have to move on to find a better recepticle. I do not hate them or not Love them at this point I just choose to give my Love to someone who better understands what it is. Understanding, Respect, Honesty, Compassion, and the ability to both Love and be Loved are the only real components. I do not put batteries in objects that are broken, but I will always change the dead ones for new to keep something working that needs a little energy.
I have never received a Christmas gift in my life. Not because of some insane religious philosophy but for reasons I have no clue of. I have also never failed to ensure Christmas gifts for my friends and family since I have had resources of my own with which to purchase them. This year I will have lost my mother, and I have not heard from any of my three children in over seven months so I do believe it will be a very quiet and quite lonely time, lacking in most festivities. I for one am not looking forward to this Christmas at all. I do believe it is very commercialized as evidenced by the arrival of Christas shopping almost 4 months in advance of the date. But it is a time when most people have some time off work to spend with their families at least. This year I will likely just stay home alone and remember better times in my life.
Thank you all very much it is very inspiring to see all the energy and prayers to this end. I have just gotten home from work and have not heard anything about how my mother is doing but I will know more sometime today. Again thank you all very much.
Sadly I have experienced this with my 15 year old daughter. Her mother gives her a forty ouncer and an ounce or weed for the weekend and she has been doing this for the past year. I no longer allow her in my home as she has also taken to stealing to pawn things for even more money now for mushrooms, ecstasy, and acid. A terrible thing and I do not know what to do about it. The police have told me that they have to catch her or there is nothing they can do. Now I just sit and wait for whatever horrible news comes from these irresponsible actions. Both are gateway drugs as they lead to a less than worthy crowd of friends who will draw them further and further into a life that leads nowhere.
My mother has taken a rather distressing turn for the worst in the past few weeks. Her body is riddled with inoperable Cancer, and her lungs are destroyed with Emphysema. She now has pneumonia and does not have long to live. She is finally in the hospital and heavily medicated now. She needs prayers, not for a recovery for this is just not reasonable, but for a comfortable passage. Thank You.
Hangovers are caused by the little bag of water (the shock absorber so to speak) that surrounds the brain drying up and sticking to the brain. This occurs because the alcohol is a diuretic which causes more liquid to evacuate the body than is inserted. The only proper cure for this is lots of water to draw out the remaining diuretic (alcohol) from the system and allow a balance to reoccur. Drink plenty of water before you go to sleep and everything should be fine. Ever notice how when you drink you seem to piss more fluids than you drink? Well it really is happening and this causes the hangover. Damn rental fluids...
In Canada...? When the US announced its bankruptcy I was only 7 and I didn't even know what that would have meant. I never knew the actual depth of what had occurred or what was and is occurring now until the news pieces we receive here could be assembled into something composing some sort of the truth. I think that the 'American Dream' that is sold to the world is the pillar of why the country remains fiscally soluble. The advertising (more like a Hollywood movie trailer) has caused most of the world to buy into the fiction and it is this lie that keeps the US from total collapse. Countries like Saudi Arabia own 6+% of the physical US, and God only knows how many similar investors have substantial investments. Yes the World Bank is the reason this fiction is beginning to fall apart, they are careful to dismantle it one block at a time though as the weight of debt throughout the world that will come when the American financial dissolution peaks, will cripple virtually every economy at once. Digital currency is a large part of this problem today as we no longer even have much of our money at hand, and here in Canada (I am unsure as to the situation in the States) it is against the law to have more than 10,000 dollars at hand... hoarding or some such nonsense. Thanks for the in depth view of how bad it really is. I will be doing some research in greater depth now of course as we are neighbours and I know how bad this will affect the economy of everyone, especially us Canadians.
Any economy lacking a material base will eventually collapse. I would not be surrised to find out that Fort Know was lacking in all of its gold and that the cases were filled with IOU's. The radical change in currency collateral in the United States and other countries has forced them to match their currency output to other less stable controls. Property being one that is in a constant state of flux and never should have been cosen to represent the value of the dollar. The Chinese economy is still connected to the gold system and they have been quite active in purchasing any and all reserves that become available on the market. Having some basis for printing money seems like the only honest and reliable means of ensuring that the promisory notes tendered to the public have any worth at all. Germany was flooded with counterfeit currency during WWII and it was a major factor in their defeat. It likely would have destroyed their economy if the war did not end as it did. When a country's assets are not up to par they usually devalue the currency, but the United States just goes back to the press and prints a few more trillion dollars based on no redeemable asset. This will affect the entire world as we are all linked indispensibly through finance and trade. A sorry state of affairs with worse to come. Who will want to invest in something that may or may not have any actual value. Cubic Zirconia diamonds...anyone?
