RE: MY MORNING JACKET

OK, now that I listened to My Morning Jacket and became a fan, I need to check out this band. And apparently, Stone Temple Pilots too.

So much music, so little time.

Btw, if anyone likes Indie music, check out God Fires Man. I haven't yet, but they come highly recommended from someone whose musical taste agrees with mine.

RE: MY MORNING JACKET

Yeah, but if we don't listen to the new stuff too, we could miss out on some great stuff!

I know I like some of the newer rock like Nirvana, Metallica, Three Doors Down, etc...it's just as good as the old stuff.

RE: MY MORNING JACKET

Never mind...I found "My Morning Jacket".

RE: MY MORNING JACKET

So is the band's name Jacket? Or Jackethead? I'm feeling very behind-the-times right now.

RE: Official MAN appreciation thread

Brian, I'm well aware of that. I've been there more than most and fewer than some. Some people never heal at all from their past, they get stuck there and just can't figure out how to get beyond it. I could have been like that, but I dug deep inside and learned how to heal and get through it. I've helped some along the way because of that. I've spoken to groups of women about my experiences, I've spoken with some one-on-one to help them, and sharing my experiences on here has helped others as well (if nothing else, it's given some the courage to talk about it finally, which is the start).

I take it you know a woman close to you who has also been there, and has not yet healed...and may never heal. I'm sorry for her experience, but she has to find the strength within herself. It might help if she can find another woman who has been there to hold her hand.

RE: MY MORNING JACKET

A fan of Jimmy Buffet. I love his music, just never knew what his fans were called. I'm figuring this is similar to the "jackethead" thing, but no clue what band that would be either.

Don't worry Thumper, we'll stand out of the loop together, I guess.

RE: Which is worse to be rejected or have to show rejection?

Yep, this is still a public forum! Removing the pillow cases is for private viewing only.

RE: Official MAN appreciation thread

I guess it does, Anna.

RE: whats your drink of choice??

Water...preferably distilled, or good well water. When I go out, it's soda/pop or juice.

RE: Official MAN appreciation thread

Which is why this is the perfect thread for you to be in...plenty of us in here for you to look at, Thumper!

RE: Official MAN appreciation thread

To all of the men out there, we women do appreciate you.

I love the bad boys, they make me feel a little naughty and always make me laugh. I love the nice guys, they're such gentleman and know how to make a woman feel loved. I love the ones in-between...the overlooked average guys, you're the ones who have it all.

I love being wrapped in a man's arms, even if it's just for a moment for a hug, and a place to drop my head and sigh for a second or two. I love a man strong enough to allow me that moment of weakness, and not think less of me for it, but who can just give me an extra squeeze to let me know it's okay.

I love having a man come help with all of those minor repairs that I just can't do by myself, and love it even more when he teaches me how to do them. (If anyone lives close enough that reads this, I have some of those that I need help with...my last handyman moved to FL, and I still can't use the brand new grill I bought last year since it's not hooked up to the gas line yet. )

I love having a man to walk with me and hold my hand, and make me feel not so alone in this world. And I long to find the one who will do that day after day.

You men are amazing, and I love you all for your gruffness, your tenderness, and your smart-assed moments.

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

We're never too old to dream. I've got a few things to do today towards making my dreams come true, and creating my reality my way. Blessings, my friend.

RE: MY MORNING JACKET

I guess not 'cuz I have no clue what that is. But then I didn't understand "Parrothead" for years either, only to discover I was one.

RE: Which is worse to be rejected or have to show rejection?

Hey...I was in there, and I've got 40DD's.

Yeah...like normal, nobody notices me.

RE: I have a question for the guys

No it doesn't...and if you read my original post in this thread you'll see I've been in your shoes twice. Well, not the part about any of them having an affair, but the part about being separated and going into a new relationship.

Also, note that I was making a statement in that second post about finding out about what exactly the situation is, so don't get defensive at me, English. I judge nobody.

RE: For Dog Lovers

Thank you, that you did...with all of your posts so far today. Welcome to CS, Gypsysoul.

RE: Dance Of The Soul

That was beautiful, Gypsysoul.

RE: For Dog Lovers

OMG, too funny! I know how high-energy Jack Russell's are to begin with, so can imagine what one on caffeine pills must have been like.

RE: Should I lie in order to get a date?

Never lie...it might get you a date or two, but it won't last once they discover you lied. And do you really want someone shallow? Or do you want someone who wants you for you.

My suggestion is that you get other pics of yourself up here. Honestly, the pic of you in the pink and blue shirt with your arm draped over another guy isn't helping you. And only having one pic never helps. And I'm not trying to be overly critical here, just trying to help (constructive criticism).

RE: I have a question for the guys

Oh, I agree with you on that part, BB.

RE: I have a question for the guys

Well, you start by finding out if he lives separately or is still in the same house with her, and how emotionally healed he seems to be. Some marriages have been over for years before a couple actually faces that and separates. Also, was he the leaver or the leavee?

And heck, how do you know it's going to work out if someone is already divorced? In the end, love is always a risk, and we have to decide what risks we can and can't take along the way.

RE: I have a question for the guys

Well, it's lying, that's for sure. And I know I can't trust anyone who lies like that, regardless of the reason that they give for doing so.

But if his wife is in a home and has Alzheimer's, and it's been years since he had a true relationship with her, can you blame him for seeking companionship? (I realize you can blame him for the lie, but that's not what I'm asking.)

RE: I have a question for the guys

Actually, LF, I can also answer this as a woman who did this twice. My first marriage had been over for a year before I separated from him, and we weren't legally divorced yet when I started dating my second husband. I got remarried withing weeks of the finalization of that divorce, had two children to him, and was married to him for 7 years...until his personality change from his medications.

Why did this work? Because my first marriage was really over before I walked down the aisle, I think...it was a huge mistake. My second one was a good one, and I honestly loved him for who he was, and had it not been for his medication and the changes it made in him, we'd most likely still be together.

I started dating my third husband while separated from my second, and moved in with him before the divorce was final. Again, I married shortly after the finalization of that divorce...however, this one was a mistake...a rebound. I married what I'd just left, someone who was emotionally abusive and controlling.

I'd been divorced already for a few months when I started dating my last, and late, husband. Again, a man I loved very much for who he was, and to whom I'd still be married if he hadn't died.

It's not always a mistake to look for a permanent relationship while you're still separated. It depends on how long the marriage was actually over, and where you are emotionally in your healing from it.

RE: uh wtf

Welcome to the world of online dating.

Sheesh...at least they want to get in your pants...my scammers are only madly in love with my eyes and my smile.

RE: Im too emotionally involved to see clearly

I've never seen you in the International Forums before, though, and I've been a regular here for over 10 months now. Anyway, nice to meet you.

RE: Im too emotionally involved to see clearly

I don't think you should ever apologize for being direct, Markiz...you said it well. And sometimes we need a smack in the head to wake up. I hope your post got his attention.

Btw, welcome to CS. I haven't had the opportunity to welcome you before.

RE: Are there any Barristers here on CS?

I'm sorry it's getting worse, Summer.

RE: It Can't Be This Hard

Couldn't help it, Robert...that post cracked me up! And it's a problem you men suffer from that we women don't, so kind of funny to be reminded so "eloquently".

RE: It Can't Be This Hard

RE: Can you define yourself?

Beautiful story...and I'd say that now it's time to get a dog of your own. There's got to be one around that needs a loving home!

As to being able to define myself...yes, I finally did that. "Insatiably curious, conservative hippie, woman-child." Just don't ask me to define myself in fewer words...though if you look at my profile, you'll see that this definition is just the tip of the iceberg, I can define myself in many more words.
