RE: Ladies, How would you feel...

I don't wear make up, so my pics are bare-faced. There are a few of us on here who are the same way, already natural.

RE: Hi, I'm very rusty and hope to get better!

Welcome aboard! Our oldest member of the forums is a lovely young woman of 70 or 71 years...you'll fit in well at your age, as we have many members around that age and older here.

RE: I heard a song today that will change my life

First, I'll ask if you're going to do any of those things you mentioned...some sound like things you should do anyway, g/f.

OK, now for me.

I'd have the boys for that week, and we'd go out to see my family.

I'd find a good home for the dogs, or at least put them into a rescue that I trust...the same one I got the male from last year.

I'd have my will drawn up. (No, don't yell, but I don't have one.)

It's only one week, so that covers it because I'd want that time with my family and my sons to be quality time, so I wouldn't try to squeeze anything else into it.

RE: Is it wierd?

Ah, but she was at your school, so the chances are that if you keep your eyes open, you might see her again, even if it's at a distance. If you do, approach her and ask her out. I agree...go for it. Seven years is not that much age difference, so long as your maturity levels and interests match, and you won't find that out without going on a few dates.

RE: The Solutions

Because Canada is so cold?

RE: Women's makeup

I used to wear makeup when I was younger, and it was so skillfully applied that when male friends would watch me put it on, they couldn't believe how much I used to achieve the final result because it did look like it enhanced what nature gave me.

I don't know exactly when I stopped wearing it...probably while I was pregnant with my older son. I know that after that, I wore it very rarely, and eventually stopped wearing it at all because it got to the point that I had to buy all new makeup every time I did dress up and wear it, since the stuff does have an expiration date to avoid bacteria growth.

Now, I just don't bother, ever. I hate the stuff, it feels like a mask when it's on anyway, and I hate the owl-eye look in the morning from it, even after it's supposedly all been removed. I've been blessed with good skin with natural coloring to it, though that doesn't show well in pictures. I'm definitely more comfortable now with who I am and how I look than I was when I was younger.

RE: Ladies, How would you feel...

The deceit would bother me more than the body. Anyone who feels a need to portray themselves as someone different than they are, inside or outside, isn't someone I would be in a relationship with at all. And I wouldn't have brought him home just because of his body in the first place, so it would make me unable to trust anything I knew of him.

RE: overweight>...........................

I know...and I could call myself average if I wanted to use those guidelines...but I don't, because I'm not what I consider an average build to be yet. Just because overweight is now the average doesn't mean it's acceptable as such.

Oops...off of my soap box now, before I get carried away.

RE: drug use

Yes, since you defined it for me. I did coke and speed when I was younger, and coke again with my late husband when we drank together. I walked away from alcohol and drugs on my own after he died.

I discovered that it was a good thing I never touched heroin...it turns out I'm allergic to opiates. (No, that's not the only reason it's a good thing I never did it.)

RE: Which do you prefer as a life partner?

I have to say, I love this quote, Jashcd.

RE: overweight>...........................

I always love the men whose profile says "average build" and they're a few pounds overweight, or says "a few pounds overweight" and they're obese...do men not know what they look like in the mirror? And to be fair, men, do women do that as well?

RE: hi ladies would you date a guy that smoked.

I lost mine to laryngeal cancer because he smoked and drank heavily. I agree...I couldn't watch someone suffer like that again, nor suffer like that myself. I finally just quit smoking. This time, it's for good.

RE: hi ladies would you date a guy that smoked.

Those are out of the question too...except the weed. Depending on the amount, I can handle that one.

Tobacco? Only in a Peace Pipe. I just quit...made it through day one, and I know from experience that when I don't smoke, I hate the smell. I couldn't date a smoker...once I don't taste like one, I won't want to kiss an ashtray.

RE: overweight>...........................

Yes, I have to say that my life is rarely boring.

Heck, sometimes I wish it was.

RE: 3 reasons not to move to michigan

That third one was great!

Yep, we get weather like that occasionally during the winter here...makes me glad I have a garage.

RE: what happen to her

Yes, and she's taking a break to heal and deal, Point. I hope she'll be back in the future. We were building a friendship, but she left without giving me a way to be in touch outside of here.

RE: What is your opinion on women who date much younger men?

Agreed.

RE: What is your opinion on women who date much younger men?

Honestly, I don't think anything of others for this...it's not my place, nor my job, to judge anyone. You've got to do what feels right and comfortable for you. I, personally, draw the line at dating anyone young enough to be my son, but that's just me, and one of my guidelines for myself. I don't really care what anyone else does.

RE: thoughts for the weekend

I'd love to be able to press "ctr alt delete" and start over occasionally.

Raising children is the best hard job one will ever do, and the most rewarding with wonderful perks like laughter, hugs, kisses, and the words "I love you".

I'm finally starting to eat more natural foods and less processed ones...apparently, it's the processed ones that lead to deaths from "natural" causes.

I do care where my mate goes when I have one...just at times I might not opt to go along because he needs to have space too, so it gives us breathing room. Hopefully, he feels the same at times regarding me.



Hi, Cas!

RE: Good evening and goodbye.....

Btw, I do totally agree with this...staying or leaving as a couple should be a mutual decision. But I'm glad you'll be back to update us occasionally.

RE: Good evening and goodbye.....

Yes...please don't delete your profile completely...one of you has to let us know how the meeting goes!

RE: Good evening and goodbye.....

Good luck to you and Nfowler, Spicey. I wish the two of you the best.

RE: overweight>...........................

Exactly, Adam...and it's what makes this world so interesting.

Interesting news...

I suspect that again, the old biddy is the man I'm supposedly married to, though he denied he was supposed to be the husband in question at first...he did sort of confirm it a few minutes later, which raises my suspicion that he is, again, the source of the rumor.

One of these days, he just might learn to keep his trap shut...if not, we'll have fun with it again. Or it will die down fast since I'm not going there nearly as often as I used to go.

Least of my worries, really...but I did find it funny this morning to be greeted with that "news".

And if you're like me, what others consider weird has just become a normal part of life to you.

RE: overweight>...........................

I think you're wrong. I have some extra padding on me, but I get lots of men attracted to me. Those who aren't because of the extra weight I just don't worry about.

You can't change what men find attractive, any more than a man can change what you find attractive. And there are plenty of men out there who are attracted to women with anything from a little extra padding to a lot of extra padding...and those who don't care either way because they do care more about the inner person.

Interesting news...

Sadly, no...I don't know what happened to them. I didn't even get to try mine on.

Ah...your life sounds like my best friend's life...weird things happen to her, too...and we have a lot of laughs over them.

Interesting news...

Cas, I hope not...it was supposed to be our secret for a while yet.

Interesting news...

Ah, same here, Anna. And I've also figured that if they're talking about me, they're leaving someone else alone.

RE: Many Waters

Beautiful poem, Tallguy, as usual.

You have a beautiful soul.

Interesting news...

Anna, thank you for sharing that...it's the first time I've seen you tell the story of how the two of you met. What an awesome story...and very interesting, too.

Yes, this is a small-town atmosphere here, and nobody's got anything better to do than gossip, and apparently I'm one of the favorite people to do so about here. I just shrug it off or laugh it off now...I've gotten used to it. This one just struck my funny bone today.
