RE: OMG!!!! Think I'm Going To Faint.......

Ah...well, shows what a sports fan I am...I was assuming he was an actor.

Thank you for enlightening me, g/f. I know you were probably laughing, but that's okay...I laugh at myself often enough too.

RE: OMG!!!! Think I'm Going To Faint.......

Apparently I'm just out of touch. I wouldn't recognize Brad Pitt's pic either...though I wouldn't be able to miss Harrison Ford or Sean Connery. Goes by taste as well, I guess.

RE: OMG!!!! Think I'm Going To Faint.......

Agreed, that would be a pic in poor taste. But we've had "ole Ironsides" on here before.

RE: OMG!!!! Think I'm Going To Faint.......

Who?

Anyway, I take it that would be like seeing Pamela Sue Anderson or Patrick Swayze for us Americans.

RE: my ex called today...

No, it's not. If they're an ex, it's for a reason, and they'll stay that way. I'd rather be poor, single, and happy than rich, married, and miserable. Or poor, married, and happy.

RE: What race do you prefer to date and why?

You'll do fine...and eventually you'll figure it all out. We're a bit crazy on here, but serious answers are not forbidden...nor are they suicide. Just be yourself. Welcome to CS, Dross.

RE: have you ever done an i.q test?

Yes, they make us do that in school at some point here in the US. Point?

RE: C S does work

I'm happy for you, my friend! Congratulations! Best of luck for your future together.

RE: What race do you prefer to date and why?

I'd have to think very seriously before getting involved with someone of an alien race.

RE: Relocation, relationship "on hold"...

Certainly seems to be what her friends think he should've done, eh SND?

Thankfully the OP seems to have more common sense.

RE: Relocation, relationship "on hold"...

Keep your feelings alive because he's amazing, especially if you plan on returning there. I find that others are quick to judge people without knowing everything, and you're right that you wouldn't love him if he was anyone other than who he is. Keep in touch, and consider the relationship on hold. Besides, you might find that with some time and space to miss you that he does, and might actually decide commitment isn't such a bad thing.

RE: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY"

I don't know him, but Happy Birthday, Eric.

RE: OK, now I will ask a serious question..

I've seen others post in their native language, so no, no program operating here to translate. It really is the common language used on here because it's the one almost everyone in the world speaks thanks to England and the US. Remember, Europe and Asia are made up of many different countries with different languages and dialects within the same country even, so it makes sense for there to be a common language there as well.

RE: How does our English look to native speakers?

Agreed, J.

RE: How does our English look to native speakers?

Morgan, I have to agree with you. I've learned three languages, and have been fluent in them, and I give kudos to anyone who participates in a medium like this in a language that is not native to them.

And there are many for whom English is supposed to be their native language who can't speak it as well as some of the others from around the world here. I've learned to overlook it all and just respond to what's written unless I truly can't understand it.

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

Oh, Snuggs, how true! All too often I've seen examples of that on here in the threads, and more happens behind the scenes, I'm sure. Without facial expressions and intonation, it's harder. I think that's the other part of what's made me realize that clearly stating what you mean is very important, and has made me so willing to take my part of the blame in a miscommunication.

RE: WARNING! U.S. CITIZENS, PLEASE READ IMMEDIATELY!

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

Nope...but you should know by now it's typical of me, Pat.

And I'm not alone here.

RE: would you still want to keep your job if u hit the lotto for over a million ???

One thing I would do is continue my studies, and take other training I'm interested in, so that I can pursue my dream and continue to help others. I just wouldn't have to worry about working in the meantime until I was ready to take up my calling. Then I won't consider it "working".

RE: ANOTHER controversial topic.

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

Many...but then I strive to clarify. However, that's because I've learned that if there's confusion, that's what's necessary rather than ranting and raving that the other person didn't understand me. Experience and maturity, as well as being willing to admit I might have a part in the problem.

RE: would you still want to keep your job if u hit the lotto for over a million ???

I can think of plenty of other things to do that will keep me from being bored, thanks.

RE: ANOTHER controversial topic.

And yet so many do.

I live in an area that has many races and much prejudice because of it, and it would be hard for me to date outside of my race here. Not that it would stop me.

I was also raised in NH where there's no prejudice, but it's 99% white, so I can relate to what he said. It wasn't until I went in the Army that I really met others of different and mixed races.

And I agree with Pub, we're all one race...but that's an awareness that comes from exposure to many in a good environment without prejudice coloring one's attitude.

RE: ANOTHER controversial topic.

SF, harsh much on the new guy?

Good to see you, though, buddy! Love the new pic!

RE: ANOTHER controversial topic.

There is nothing wrong with stating that your world was a bit narrow and we've broadened it, Swedish. That doesn't sound bigoted at all.

And welcome to CS. I've been on break for a bit, but I've got a job that's boring me to tears, so I pop on now during the day when they don't have work for me...which is a lot. Call me Dru.

RE: BITTER

And yes, Larry, you're another one I saw come in bitter and learn that not all women were bad, and have a change of attitude. Sometimes the forums can help us heal, and that's a good thing. You've also come a long way.

RE: Morgan!!! Here we come girl :-)

Enjoy your visit, gals!!!!

RE: BITTER

And I'm glad that you have gotten there. I know there was a point you didn't think you would.

RE: why is it hard

It's not...it's just a matter of finding the right good woman. And in order to do that, you're going to need to heal.

RE: BITTER

You've come a long way, baby.
