RE: Does any member deserve reconition?

Yes I second the motion!!! Clint has defined more of the characteristics of what a man is supposed to be than virtually any other man alive. Damn fine director too! You are so cheeky to bring him into this but hey I got your back young lady...

RE: The one flaw in women..

No quicker than I was to retaliate... it takes two to tango and much of a nice man as you are I don't think the ladies would approve of us dancing about in their thread.

I likewise owe you an apology of no lesser weight. Foolishness got the best of both of us and I am sorry for my piss poor display of emotion.

Sincerely,

Barren

You Are So Beautiful ~ Joe Cocker

You are so beautiful to me
You are so beautiful to me
Can't you see
Your everything I hoped for
Your everything I need
You are so beautiful to me

Such joy and happiness you bring
Such joy and happiness you bring
Like a dream
A guiding light that shines in the night
Heavens gift to me
You are so beautiful to me

The Greatest Gift Any of Ever Receive

A baby asked God, 'They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?'
God said, 'Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.'

The child further inquired,' But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.'
God said, 'Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy.'

Again the child asked, 'And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?'
God said, 'Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.'

'And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?'
God said, 'Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.'

'Who will protect me?'
God said, 'Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life.'

'But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.'
God said, 'Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you.'

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name.'
God said, 'You will simply call her, 'Mom.'

Strength of a Man

The strength of a man isn't seen in the width of his shoulders.
It is seen in the width of his arms that encircle you.

The strength of a man isn't in the deep tone of his voice.
It is in the gentle words he whispers.

The strength of a man isn't how many buddies he has.
It is how good a buddy he is with his kids.

The strength of a man isn't in how respected he is at work.
It is in how respected he is at home.

The strength of a man isn't in how hard he hits.
It is in how tender he touches.

The strength of a man isn't how many women he's Loved by.
It is in can he be true to one woman.

The strength of a man isn't in the weight he can lift.
It is in the burdens he can understand and overcome.

Beauty of a Woman

The beauty of a woman
Is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure she carries,
Or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman
Must beseen from her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
The place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman
Is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman
Is reflected in her soul.

It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
The passion that she shows,
The beauty of a woman
With passing years-only grows.

Lucky is the man who is the first love of a woman,
but luckier is the woman who is the last love of a man..

RE: Does any member deserve reconition?

Again wisdom escapes me as I have forgotten yet another of the myriad deserving of recognition. Mylifewithu is another woman to whom I lean for a burst of light to part clouds of grey. Truly a silver lining if ever there was one. Positive and heartfelt at the worst of times, another blessing to all of us.

RE: The one flaw in women..

Daniel it is exactly when you speak from within, of who you are that you best reach others. Do not forget who you are and how those parts of you that you have shared have reached so many. The best lessons you can share with us are of the personal struggles, triumphs, and blessings that have affected you. Keep your faith it is incontrovertible evidence that you live. Thinking of others is proof positive of your compassion but sharing from you is all we can offer. Wipe off the dust and saddle up, the world needs inspiration, and rewards are not based upon a contract, you will reap as you have sown. All good things come to those who wait. Be patient and continue sowing positives. You will reap as you have sown, take that to heart and continue to sow seeds of hope, faith and Love until the day the Lord places his blessing in your life. You are blessed to wait as the reward will be so much greater to equal what you have done.

RE: Does any member deserve reconition?

Daniel is the second man to whom I owe an apology for my lack of foresight. He has lifted many of the more verbal posters here from the weight of the world through his majestic words. I wonder how many that have yet to find their voice have likewise been inspired? He is a great man and the weight of this sometimes presses upon him to heavily. I truly appreciate your conviction and words my friend, please find your own voice once again and continue to spread messages of hope and faith as you have done already for so many.

RE: Does any member deserve reconition?

As the first of those I have maligned through ignorance, I would like to second this opinion. Sometimes it seems as though the rest of us cannot fit in this tiny little place in the world for the size of this man's heart. But upon closer inspection it is the great vastness of this man's very heart that allows us find ourselves among friends. Thank you for being you Ken.. you truly are a marvel to behold my friend.

RE: The one flaw in women..

Daniel we are all human and err to the best of our judgement. You are not supposed to take the world on your shoulders. Just be you and live in the day. You bring too much good to others here to allow an error in judgement through emotion to rule your heart. Forgive yourself, you are to good to face that sort of condemnation. Just come back as the man you are and your words will make ammends for all real or imagined by and against you. I do not judge you and do not wish to.
I still see in you the great man struggling to rise above... and I can only offer a hand, you must climb out my friend.

RE: Does any member deserve reconition?

There are so many, actually everyone has offered something to be noted at one time or another.

I would like to thank four right now but it is not by any means a complete list.

Claayer for her illustrious humour to lighten the darkest of moods...usually.

Hugz for her stance against injustice whatever face it currently wears.

Riya for being true to herself and allowing me to return to wintess the bloom of an eastern rose again and again and again.

Sommer for the warm welcome and free offer of a friendship that transcends time itself.

And of course Nomindgames first for starting such a wonderful thread, and second for spreading countless other messages of confidence and positivity.

Thank you all...

You make us better by osmosis, and nearness to who you are.

RE: The one flaw in women..

Once upon a time I met the most radiant and wholesome woman my life has ever encountered. My heart was drawn inescapably and we shared many wonderful times. Life was great and I believed again. Things happened and words were taken out of context. I wounded her, we managed to recover this hurt but I had already gone from here. You Daniel knew of her, you knew of I and you knew of us. Yet you did not hesitate to contact her after knowing this to press your Love for her. She told me of this my friend and I never responded to you for it. You say you have done nothing behind anyone's back, well my friend I do believe this counts as a vile act perpetrated by yourself against a man to whom you called brother. I bear you no ill will for acting in this nature. What I had with this beautiful woman was all I could have asked. I bear her no ill will for how thigs are today. I would never speak a word against her merely for the friendship we shared so unconditionally. Am I hurt? Yes by my loss of her smile in my life. Do I blame her? No. You are hurt just heal, it does you no good to share this emotion in the way you have done the past few days. Everyone makes mistakes and should not be judged by them unless they forsake their selves to become bitter and despondent in base retaliation for their own losses. Your mother is a woman too and I do not believe you would attribute this negative impression upon her. Forgiveness only begins within. You cannot take it you must give it.

RE: The one flaw in women..

All that charm... and so damn modest! I am truly jealous now...

RE: The one flaw in women..

Dearest Riya I have known you for much longer than this incarnation of my being. You were always a social grace, and yet remain such. A wonderful woman of great depth who can manage to speak so much more than I with but a few words. A healer in all aspects. I do not base any perception of anyone on the words cast by the many or the one. You are who you are and it is clear in your presence here that you are exactly the person you were when last I knew you. Refreshing and undeserving of this slander.

RE: The one flaw in women..

My opinion is not based on the here and now Daniel. I have been and gone and returned. I know Riya very well and you as well. You have brought much happiness here, it is not that which I speak of but what you are doing in the here and now. Every great and terrible man was a child without sin first. Do not shade yourself with this hurt it does no justice to the man you have been. You have every right to be hurt whether it was intended or not but rise from those ashes to return to glory.

My displaced brother from another mother. And you are half Canadian right?

RE: why jump on russia america,

Does not judge the OP for residing within in borders, and allows him to prosper in the same manner as any other man woman and child therein.
Every nation has policies that are not the best but I would rather live in the United States (parts at least) than Russia. Russia is a beautiful country dying from political and spiritual cancer.

RE: The one flaw in women..

You post in a thread as positive as this to throw in your own personal inflection of despair. Receive no response for unjustified words cast in hurt and anger, and then repost to yet again attempt to gain some notice. It just reconfirms your own hurts but this thread is no place for malice and it would have been best to utter those words silently as they truly mark you for what you are and stand for. A woman has not given you what you wanted so all women are wrong and horrible creatures? I believe you said something of millstones... best get your neck fitted for casting such terrible stones.
Riya is a wonderful woman with no words to be ashamed of here and likely in life. She is compassionate but not febrile enough to lend her voice to dominance over others no matter the speaker's proclaimed intentions.
Poor me is not an attitude serving well of a man. You have much to offer, give freely but do not cheapen your gifts by demanding through psychological coercion. Forgive yourself and it will become much easier to pass that blessing forward. You are a good man so try to shine that brilliance upon us. The sun charges nothing for its gifts and they warm all. Your words have the capacity for healing or harm, once again your choice.


Every woman is someones daughter, none would stand by idly to witness such to their own.

RE: why jump on russia america,

Russia cannot even hold itself together as evidenced by its satellite children. America is not a divided nation and no portion of it has been lost from within or without.
Russia is so wonderful yet you choose to live in a nation you despise. Even under the inner conflict of such a decision you remain in the safety of a nation that does not judge you. Or perhaps you wish to enliven the old addage of a Red under every bed?
I praise each and every nation that claws its way from beneath such an overbearing shadow, such as that presented by your Great Bear. Freedom!

RE: The one flaw in women..

Often the despicable things we see in others is merely the mirror of our own souls. The flaws you see in others are merely your own reflection.

'Tis better to have Loved and lost than to never have Loved at all...

RE: Take What You Need From This

Throwing yourself at someone's feet is not Love.
Meeting someone while standing proud and meeting them eye to eye is a much more worthy effort. It is a shame to one's self to assume that what happens in one mind must happen in another, ultimate vanity of sorts. Kindness should be met with kindness, but it is not to be expected. Expectations of that sort are a clear and decisive example of shallowness, however couched in pretty words or deeds of calculation.
We are all lonely at times but that is because we forget how to Love ourselves.

RE: What is your perception of true love? I will share what I think.. would like to know what others thi

I was asked yesterday by a very dear and lovely friend here, if I could ever find it in my heart to Love another woman.

My response was...

My heart lies in the hands of those I Love and those I have loved and I would never deem it proper to take from them what I gave unconditionally.
But as to the future I cannot truly speak with defined authority or conviction as I have yet to walk that path. I live today and that is more than enough for me. I do not know where my heart will find itself in the future, I do not seek for its shelter as it roosts in memories I hold dearest to my soul and that soothes me. The Lord works in mysterious ways and I am no fool to refuse his plans for my life whatever they may be. Perhaps he requires me to remain alone (not lonely though, which oddly I am not) to better see the world. Perhaps this is merely a respite to regain composure and redefine or locate what he wishes. Perhaps my life will begin anew tomorrow... perhaps, perhaps, perhaps...
I take far greater solace in today and what it has to offer than in any future which is mutable to say the least.
For the nonce I will take great pleasure in the company of those fine souls such as yourself who find the time to share even the smallest parts of yourself and fill tiny gaps in my own healing.

This friend has quickly become a serious in my life at this time, and is a perfect example of someone who understands what Love is.

RE: What is your perception of true love? I will share what I think.. would like to know what others thi

Say this out loud or to yourself... "Love is about you, lust is about me." It answers most if not all questions.

True Love to me is the lifetime work of a man or woman to see things through the eyes of a child again. The effort and energy expended upon this journey is far beyond that required of any job, with absolutely no paycheck expected.
True Love is giving away everything you have of real value and expecting no return.
True Love is not taking but receiving.
True Love is mutual, reciprocal, eternal, a circle like the ring that we use to physically represent it.
True Love is the most wonderful gift any man woman or child can give or receive.
True Love is the reason for life, not the reason to live.
True Love is long suffering.
True love is kind.
True Love is not jealous.
True love does not boast.
True Love is not inflated.
True Love is not discourteous.
True Love is not selfish.
True Love is not irritable.
True Love does not enumerate the evil.
True Love does not rejoice over the wrong.
True Love rejoices in the truth.
Ture Love covers all things.
rue Love has faith for all things.
True Love hopes in all things.
True Love endures in all things.
True Love never falls in ruins.

RE: I noticed something

Sorry to burst you bubble but I am not a cross-dresser (I don't have that habit...) But I am going to ebay to get one. Thanks for the info... you are too sweet to help a guy out like that...

RE: Say Something To Someone W/O Mentioning Names

Good night Ken.

RE: I noticed something

I am sorry you had to endure any of that. Just realize there are plenty of men casting lines about in hopes of landing someone, they tend to fish from their chairs with numerous lines (we need forest rangers to stop this poaching damn it). Just loafing about in their underwear, in desperate need of a shower and shave... (damn now look what I wrote...why did I put that mirror up above my monitor... )
