RE: would you be interested in me for one night?

RE: when men wear hats what is a womens like

I don't care if a man wears a hat or not, and type doesn't even matter...what matters most is if I like the man himself.

RE: CHEMISTRY

I've been through many things like this, and yes, for some the hunt is the thrill, not the prize once found. Those people need to take up something like parachuting, I think...then maybe once the need for a thrill is being satisfied, maybe they can settle into a relationship.

I also think that although chemistry is important, that if you like someone enough you can make the chemistry happen too. If all is compatible between two people, and they find each other attractive, I think it's possible to have a very happy relationship if you decide to do so.

RE: Have you ever

You can look in your outbox to see what you wrote that he responded to first next time, or just hope that responding to what he wrote the way you did made sense. Best of luck with it, Kitty!

RE: a respectful moment of silence in honor of a hero....

Damned straight, SND!

(Dang, how did he see through me so clearly? )

RE: a respectful moment of silence in honor of a hero....

More gun control isn't the answer. Enforcing the ones in place by making harder sentences for armed crimes would be a good start instead. Honestly, JV, gun control only affects the law-abiding gun-owning citizens. Criminals don't pay attention to laws by definition. And most of the guns taken in those gun buying programs by police end up on the black market and in the hands of criminals. Study the facts...there was a whole book written about the statistics titled "More Guns Less Crime" by John Lott. He started his research to prove that gun control was the answer, only to discover he was wrong, and that's why he wrote his book. Dry and full of stats, but it tells the truth.

RE: a respectful moment of silence in honor of a hero....

Sounds like me in the Army. I got an Article 15 once for something I didn't do, and my Sgt admitted he knew I didn't but was letting it stand because he knew there were many things I'd done that I should have gotten one for that I didn't get caught at...so I sucked it up. (Not much choice anyway. Couldn't prove my innocence.)

RE: a respectful moment of silence in honor of a hero....

Sweetie, some of the best cops are the ones who were rebels and troublemakers in their youth. And I'd say you damned well do qualify because you're willing to do it, and your heart's in the right place. (Shhh....I promise I won't tell anyone, though, okay? )

My family is full of law enforcement officials, mostly FBI. My great-grandfather was one of the original founders of it. An uncle of mine was chief of police in his city, after years working undercover in narcotics. And both of my sons want to go to college for it, and become cops and then go into the FBI...I told them it's in their blood, so I wasn't surprised.

RE: Which of these would you choose to survive stress if you had these choices?

Same here...meditate, smudge, use ting-shas, or exchange Reiki with a friend.

Or, just go get laid. That one works every time too.

RE: WONDERWORKER'S NOVEL

Hey, Lady J...we don't see you on here often anymore. Good to see you! Blessings.

RE: WONDERWORKER'S NOVEL

Wonder, I don't see why this should be pulled, as you've done it tastefully. Btw, "Death and Candlewax" was interesting, I did read it, I just didn't get back to the lovely Jackson or you with my comments. I'm sure "Islander" would be an interesting read.

RE: a respectful moment of silence in honor of a hero....

My sorrow for your co-workers, SND. And my respect has always been with those heroes who choose to face danger every day to try to protect the rest of us...the soldiers, the cops, the firemen...bless you all for what you do every day.

RE: old lady newbie wants to say hi to everyone

Absolutely! I'm the same age, and there are others older than us, including a few in their 70s! Welcome to the nut house...join in and have fun! (I'm a pecan...a little lumpy and wrinkled, but still sweet.)

RE: Dating more than one person...

Not a bad idea, Ruben. I will agree completely with saving the intimacy for one person, but that until then dating more than one is acceptable in order to make sure of who you really want to date seriously.

RE: WTF has gone wrong?

Thanks, R...but I'll still pass. It's bad enough for me to read about it.

RE: Anybody else do this....

I used to when I was younger. I do still move to the groove, though, just because I love to dance.

RE: quetion

A very good point about why this is more true in western countries than non-western ones, Ali. Well said.

RE: quetion

That varies, Miangma. In some cases, it's bad choices. In others, couples have grown apart and can't find what they had again anymore. In still others, they find that the person they married hadn't been the same one they were dating. At least in the western world we're not forced to remain in these situations, but the downside is that some people just don't take it seriously anymore and leave at the first sign of trouble or unhappiness rather than try to work it out. They fail to realize that sometimes love has cycles, and that if they try they can fall back in love because all that really happened was that they took each other for granted.

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

An excellent post, Pat. And yes, I believe that belief in God is personal. I know what I believe God is, but I don't try to force that view on others, for everyone needs to determine that for themselves.

RE: What foreign place would you most like to visit?

Australia and New Zealand top my list, all of Europe, Asia, Canada and Mexico...basically, there isn't a place on Earth that I don't want to see. And maybe some day I will get to see them...and my friends in some of those places as well.

RE: UnWritten Laws Of Life

Works equally well in the grocery store, btw.

Good ones, Sassy!

RE: Do you believe that after 40 it all goes down hill from there?

Way to go, Shirley!!

RE: Do you believe that after 40 it all goes down hill from there?

OMG, wiping the tears from my eyes! Same here! Gravity is amazing, eh?

RE: Do you believe that after 40 it all goes down hill from there?

Yes, but look back at your life and all of the things you've done and all that you've learned. The toll aging takes on the body can be forestalled by proper diet and exercise, btw, and it's not too late to begin to take better care of yourself and hold further deterioration at bay.

At 46, I can no longer do many of the things I did at 26...but I didn't keep doing them, so it's my own fault. However, I do what I can now to keep in good shape and am getting more limber again as well. I'm also eating healthier and living a much healthier life in general, so I feel that when I turn 50 I won't feel much different than I do now...except perhaps better. And I'm proud of those gray hairs...they show that I am no longer "young and dumb", but am becoming older and wiser. I don't hide mine.

What do you want in a relationship?

Nobody could argue with that, English!

What do you want in a relationship?

Wow, I hardly know what to say to that one! A LDR of 15 years that you never met in person?! I would be moving on...about 14.5 years ago.

What do you want in a relationship?

That's okay, Larry...you're welcome in any time!

What do you want in a relationship?

Hey, g/f...I couldn't agree more. (And I know, some are probably thinking that I have no room to talk on that one, but seriously all I ever wanted was the "one marriage for life while we raised our family then enjoy the grandchildren and our golden years until death do us part" thing. Life doesn't always give us what we want.)

Hope you find him, my friend!

What do you want in a relationship?

You need an Aquarius, Witchay. Focus there.

Best of luck in your search. I need the same, and I'm hoping I've found it.

What do you want in a relationship?

No, I don't think so, AudrysSis. I think if you know what you want and you believe that you can find it, you will find it. Just have patience, and one day he'll come along.
