RE: Wanna go see G-force?

Silly, silly little bro...still calling me by that nickname!

Yes, I can vouch for your honesty and intentions. You are definitely one of the honorable men on here, and great friend to have at all times.

RE: DO YOU BELIEVE THE 2012 DOOMSDAY PREDICTIONS?

I believe that the world as we know it might change, but I don't believe it's the end of the world. I believe it's the dawn of a new era in life on this planet, that's all. A better one, as we evolve towards a higher plane of being.

RE: Why are men from india, finland, pakistan etc viewing my profile and sending me IM's?

Vanity, you're not alone. I got a lot of these too. I still get the obvious scammer ones...but only in email, I turned my IM off. I did try to be friends with a couple of men from overseas that emailed me, but I made it clear that it was only friends, and we didn't end up talking for long...they weren't regulars in the forums, so it was hard to keep a conversation going.

RE: Nice caring guy looking for a lovely woman....

Well, welcome to CS and good luck in your search. You seem like a nice young man, and I hope you find your special woman.

RE: Is it that hard to meet someone face to face?

So very true, Vanity. I'm finding quite a few local men on another site, and hope to get to meet some of them in person soon to see if there's interest in more than friends there or not. And if nothing else, to have some fun and meet some local men who have interests and beliefs similar to mine. (Not easy in my area.) I hope to make some new friends in the process, for I'm open to that as well.

For some reason, a lot of men think that it means more than friends if you do something together, and don't want to do that if they feel they might not be interested in you.

Thankfully, not all are like that. I have a couple of visits here planned by a couple of my male friends on this site, and it's just platonic. They're my buddies, not potential lovers, and we know we'll have a blast together. I have a guest room here for a reason. I'm trying to plan a couple of visits with some of my female friends from here too. I see them as being the same...but not everyone does.

RE: What do you do when the ex starts being buddy asking about new guys in your life???

Oh, KMD, I love it when you're a little evil. Good answer!

And then follow this with the other suggestion made previously of telling him to "peeve off".

Honestly, sounds like jealousy more than trying to be your buddy, and I'd say you feel that way too since you're asking us.

RE: Long Weekend

Well, I don't know what holiday it is there, but I hope all of my friends in Canada enjoy their long weekend as well.

RE: Disabilities

So true, Jack.

RE: Disabilities

OMG, LF, that was beautiful!

RE: Are people on dating sites really serious about finding someone special?

Yes, I am...but in the meantime, I have fun in the forums. And I think that I'll have to find "him" on another site...I'm too open about my life on here to date someone from here. I've discovered that the thought makes me uncomfortable because at times I have revealed things here that I might not be ready to reveal to a man I'm dating yet.

RE: Today Is My Birthday

Happy Birthday, Luvlife!!!!

You do what you did here, and post a thread, get lots of birthday wishes, and then browse around the forums and participate in the zaniness! Trust me, it helps a lot.

Or, get out somewhere locally doing something you enjoy. Treat yourself to dinner and a movie.

RE: Who is ready to come visit Arizona?

Good to see you, too! I agree with you on the mountains and oceans, too, honestly. But I did love the desert and the heat of it too. And at least living out that way, it's not that far to places like Texas and the Gulf of Mexico, or California...or to the mountains either. There are mountains in AZ.

RE: How would you go about ending a bad date?

Ah, I avoid the need for him to take me home by meeting somewhere, usually for tea or coffee. If it's not going well, I use the excuse of having errands to go do, or somewhere I have to be. If worse came to worst, I'd go to the ladies room and call a friend, and have them call me back in a few minutes...and suddenly have to leave.

But never, ever on a first date do I let him pick me up. I learned that the hard way a long time ago.

RE: The Month ahead, Your favorite

My favorite month is August...after all, it's my birth month. Seriously, I love the warmer months, so Spring and Summer are my favorite times of year as everything comes into bloom and the days grow longer and warmer.

Fall is pretty, though, and these days it's still warm here pretty late into it, so I don't mind the weather then even.

I do have to admit that I hate the cold and snow. Snow is lovely, and I don't mind it so much when I don't have to go out in it, but I hate it when I do have to drive.

RE: Who is ready to come visit Arizona?

There's the difference, Arlene. No (or very little) humidity in AZ. Pat did forget to mention that it's a dry heat, so it doesn't feel as hot as it is...I loved that dry heat when I was stationed outside of Tuscon in the Army...and monsoon season was interesting.

I want to retire to Arizona or New Mexico...unless I retire out of country. I'd also love to live in New Zealand or Australia.

RE: Who is ready to come visit Arizona?

Gozo! Good to see you again!

Same old, same old here. But it will get better...at least I'm surviving.

RE: Home Sweet Home... (I think)

OK, my bad in the last post...good, I'm glad you're still with the one you are now. I think it's time for me to take a small break and go get my shower and then breakfast.

And I'll repeat...everything happens for a reason.

RE: Home Sweet Home... (I think)

I'm so sorry it didn't work, Morgan. I remember you seemed to have a really good thing.

But good for you for seeing the bright side of it. All I can say is that I believe everything happens for a reason. For me, it would take one heck of a man to get me to consider moving to another country some day. And I couldn't even think about it for at least 4 years, if I can then...could be longer before I truly consider my sons to be grown and leading their own lives.

There are a couple of countries that I'd consider moving to someday, though. Not for a man, but for myself. And hopefully by then, with a man.

RE: Who is ready to come visit Arizona?

You probably won't find them lying in a hospital dying for absolutely nothing either. They'll go peacefully of old age, most likely in their sleep...or just keel over and die quickly.

RE: Who is ready to come visit Arizona?

Ah, Pat, I'd love to actually...just wish I could. I miss that part of the country.

RE: Hoping to meet online friends

Welcome to the nut house! Don't mind the peanuts in their gallery, but the rest of us are a really nice bunch.

RE: Why?

I hated it when my parents said this, Zee!

RE: what happens next

I'm sorry for the loss of your dog, Bestat45. The loss of a pet is tough too.

RE: what happens next

I know that for more than the first year after my husband died, I would feel the touch that was our signal that he was here with me. And I've had messages since that stopped that he's still nearby. So is my Nana, and she died when I was 14. And my grandfather, who died when I was 30, still checks on me too.

The Native Americans say that when we die we change worlds, and I like that one. Their belief is also that the spirit lives on...and I agree, the soul is energy, and energy can transmute, but it can't be destroyed.

I hope that helps. And I'm very sorry for your loss.

RE: What is....

Ah, I agree with this, too. I have to have some time to do things that I enjoy with my friends, or just to have "me" time. I can't have someone that needs to be attached at the hip 24/7.

RE: Short time threads

Some threads live short lives...before you know it a good thread is on the back pages. Others live for days. No predicting it, it's just life on CS.

And nobody is a thread-killer. Someone has to be the last to post in one...and a thread might die down for a while after someone posts, and then later resurrect and they don't see it 'cuz they've gone offline for the day/night.

RE: My thoughts

Very beautiful thoughts, Yedellus. You express yourself well.

RE: Punk's dead.

Nobody warned you yet that you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave?

I'm going to miss you. I'd just gotten used to you.

RE: When Your The Lowest,How Do You Start Over?

Sadly, that was the same for my late husband, Woods. He was the end of his line, too.

The good news is that as long as I'm alive, they mean something to someone still.

RE: What is....

The most important thing to me in a relationship is honest, open communication...if we have that, then we have trust, because without trust you can't have the honest and open communication with each other.

Within myself, the most important thing is to remain true to myself, and maintain my integrity in all that I do.

And in life, the most important thing for me is laughter. If you can laugh at the lowest and hardest times of your life, then all is not lost, and hope and joy remain.
