I have three tattoos, the pics of which are on my profile, but no piercings, nor any desire to get one. I didn't get my first tat until I was 40, so no regrets. I've designed all 3, and they were well executed. I have 3 more I might get in the future...one more on my back (a sun for the Phoenix to be flying into), and Buddha and Quan Yin on my forearms. Then I'll be done.
No, they got him booted off by complaining to the moderators about his anti-feminist posts...one in particular, and if she reads this, she knows who she is, and she can kiss my A... Anyone who can't take a joke just doesn't belong here.
J.D asked me to thank you all for your posts, he did get to read them. He said the good thing is his mother isn't suffering anymore, which I can understand after watching my late husband suffer so much. He's doing well.
If anyone wants to get in touch with him, feel free to contact me and I'll pass along your information to him, and then delete it. Anyone who knows me, knows I'm a woman of my word, and as honest as the year is long.
For those who loved him and miss him, J.D (Virgiomonkey) asked me to give everyone here his warm regards.
Also, just so you all know, his mother passed away recently, may she rest in peace. He reads the forums (they are public access, afterall), so he'll get your messages of saying hello and of sympathy for his loss.
So true, Rohaan. Desperation translates through the computer and sends out negative vibes to the Universe as well, which is why it's best to live a full life and be grateful for what you have. Most of us don't want to feel we have to make someone happy, and we can't anyway...it must come from within. Happy, complete people attract other happy, complete people, and have a healthier relationship.
Btw, the other thing I'd suggest is hanging out here in the forums. It's what I did for a year (I've been a member more than that now, but don't log on as often anymore), and I made a ton of friends all across the US and all around the world. It beats feeling sorry for yourself.
And now those friends and these forums are why I stay here.
It's only sad if because of it, you're not truly living your life. Find a hobby that you enjoy, there are plenty of activities out there to choose from. Try your hand at something new, go somewhere new...you never know who you might find.
And I'm sure your married friends must have other single friends of the opposite gender. Being "fixed up" by friends is how my SO and I met each other, and it's working out very well. Friends know you and know who you might like and fit well with, so they're more reliable than other means of finding a SO.
Work on you, and on your life. Enjoy each day to the fullest. And don't let yourself feel desperate...the moment you start to enjoy being single is usually when someone comes along, so sit down and focus on all of the things you enjoy about single life. Nobody to tell you what to do, nobody to have to plan your life around, nobody to have to ask permission from to hang out at the pub or have a group of buddies over. You can clean up when you want to, and nobody complains about the dirty clothes on the floor or the dirty dishes in the sink in the meantime.
Don't stop keeping an eye open for that person, but don't make it the focus of your life. Best of luck in your search.
It was never the ones like that which attracted me, but rather the ones that stood out for being original and showing a sense of humor. And usually only people that I met in forums anyway, never found anything interesting searching local profiles, mainly for that reason.
What finally really worked was being introduced to a truly wonderful man through friends.
Good for both of you! I know both of you, and have wondered what happened to each of you. Congratulations!
I'm not signing up at this point, but if I find I can make it, I will be there. And possibly traveling with my SO if we can both attend. I'd love to meet everyone!
Awesome! You'll still want to get something to spray to get the odor out. You might not be able to smell it, but she can, and will continue to puddle in the same places and ruin the wood there (I'm assuming hardwood floors instead of carpet). Good luck with her, Morgan!
I understand your frustration, but sometimes it helps to just relax and enjoy your life the way it is...when you stop looking so desperately, love finds you. When you're desperate for something, it doesn't find you. Good luck. Keep all of the doors open, and possibly look around for more to open, but then relax and wait for it to walk in, and have faith that it will.
Ah, BB, that's from my favorite Mae West quote: "When I'm good, I'm very, very good. And when I'm bad, I'm better."
I agree with your original statement that there's good and bad in all of us, but to answer the OP with my take on it, a good man or woman is one who treats others with respect, who speaks and walks their truth, and who goes out of their way when necessary to help a fellow human out. It's not just living the Ten Commandments, The Golden Rule, or the Wiccan Rede...or any other creed...it's living a life that shines as an example to others, while still being human and making mistakes, and learning from them.
If I were in the market, I would date someone of a different race. It's not the color of one's skin, or even the culture one grew up in, so much as the way they feel about each other and treat each other.
And if you only want answers from Ireland, or want to get more of them, post this in the Irish forums. Here you're going to get responses from all over the world, with many coming from the US and UK.
Ah, now that would be a wonderful thing to be able to listen to live! (Too bad it comes with being very cold, though.)
Yes, I have definitely just sat back and listened to nature. One of my favorite activities is to go to a cave nearby with a waterfall and a spring, and listen to the water and the birds that flock to it. Another is to just sit under a tree in my yard and listen to the wind in the trees, the birds, the squirrel...and my zany dogs barking. Either way, I love feeling the connectedness with my surroundings and all of nature.
I don't agree with it with younger children. I have two teenage sons, and I have a pic up with my younger one and I at his 8th grade graduation this past Spring because it was a recent pic of me and I couldn't crop him out of it (I'm just not tech savvy enough, couldn't figure it out). Plus, it's just our faces. It will be replaced soon, though. I won't put a pic up of just my sons, though.
It's our job as a parent to protect our children, not put them in harm's way.
It means to enjoy the journey of your life, and look back with happiness at the good times in it, rather than mourn the passing of any of them. It's something I've finally been able to do for a while now regarding my late husband...to not cry because it ended so soon, but to smile because we had that brief, but very happy, time together.
It's the lesson I take forward with me now, knowing it even more now than I did then.
So well said, Sophie. And I agree...the journey is exciting and I'm enjoying the experiences along the way. The destination comes at the end when my soul departs from my body, and I'll find out then what it was all about.
Far from it...a realist who has studied history, and knows well that it repeats itself, and that our government has never learned from its history, but rather gets ever worse. And some day, you'll wake up.
RE: Tattoo's and Piercing's. Any regret's?
Ah, those I do have pierced, two holes in each ear. No regrets on them, either. No body piercings, though, nor desire for one.
