RE: Be strong. Be intelligent. Smile.

Actually, only the last line has to apply to women only. I'm teaching my sons to act this way, too. It's just that men are usually more comfortable with a lot of this than women are...with the exception of the women I've seen on here! I have never seen so many strong women who aren't afraid to express their opinions and be themselves...and reach out for what they want...as I do on here. And the men on here are amazing, too...makes me wonder what in the heck we're all doing here...except maybe that others can't handle us.

RE: 545 People

Good reminder...everyone blames the President...he doesn't act alone.

Yes, there are 545 (I never knew the number...thank you!) people to blame at any given time...no matter who sits in the office.

RE: Astrology Match

You're so right!

(echinacea...I swear by it)

RE: Something bad happened

Ummm...image? Not for as long as I've been here.

RE: Something bad happened

We had one like this at my last job...and I have a friend who is still there. Took two years, and a lot of damage, but she's finally gone. They're still fixing mistakes from 2 years ago because she never wanted anything fixed, just get it done quickly, numbers were all that mattered. Finally, someone got smart, others are getting fired that she promoted, and quality has become more important than quantity. Took too long, and they lost a lot of good people along the way. I know how you're feeling.

RE: Something bad happened

better yet...put it on your wall and throw darts at it!

RE: trying to meet older woman

Nicely written profile, though it doesn't tell a lot about you...though the primary pic shows that you're into martial arts. However, most women over the age of 30 do not date 21 year olds...just an FYI.

Good luck, son. Welcome. Participate in forums and you're likely to make friends and get to know people...it's a nut house, but we always have room for more nuts!

RE: Be strong. Be intelligent. Smile.

Good one, SomeChick! Thank you. And yes...I've been known to do all of these, often (somehow esp the one about being the one standing alone for what's right and against prejudice )

I'm teaching my children the same...especially to be true to who they are, always.

RE: What would it be?

wow...tough one...so many places I'd like to be and things I'd like to be doing...

my first choice is walking along the beach (any beach), holding hands and talking with my best friend and lover while the dogs run in and out of the waves

(we're dreaming right? the reality is my dogs would be destroying our shoulders trying to pull us over to chase the seagulls, and the walk would not be relaxing at all with them )

RE: Astrology Match

Btw...if you combine all of mine...I'm a:

Leo/water-yin rabbit/Salmon (celtic)/Salmon (Native American)

RE: Astrology Match

Just be careful. I hope you heal soon. Keep thinking positive thoughts...it helps your body heal. Also, lots of water and juice, and healthy foods to give your body what it needs to heal.

RE: Astrology Match

And, welcome back, Ken.

RE: Astrology Match

Ah, but as you say...it's the whole chart, not just the Sun sign (I pointed that out earlier too)...and I'm a Leo with the need for space of an Aquarius.

Best and worst relationship I ever had was my first real love...he was Leo sun/Aquarius ascendant. Talk about a mixed-up dude!

RE: Name One Thing That You Do For Yourself Everyday That Is Healthy...

I usually find some time to relax and meditate right before bed. Also, if I start to feel stressed (as I have a lot lately!), I stop what I'm doing (even at work) and take a few deep breaths while I "let go and let God"...thank you, HL, very much for that timely post a few weeks ago!

RE: Name One Thing That You Do For Yourself Everyday That Is Healthy...

Agreed!

RE: Anybody got a spare room?

I have no problem with adult diapers and incontinence....in an elderly relative!

I can't believe people!

RE: love that grows

Beautifully written.

RE: name 3 things

My friends, my family and my dogs...and a lot more.

RE: Astrology Match

TAURUS goes with Virgo, Capricorn, Cancer and Pisces.
LEO goes with Aries, Sagittarius, Gemini and Libra.

Taurus/Leo is supposed to be one of the worst matches in the zodiac, according to all of the books...yet, my parents have made this one last for 47 years. You really can't go by this...but it sure is fun finding out what sign everyone is! Thank you for this thread, Kamelia! (Btw, interesting 'cuz I was trying to think today how to start a thread where we'd do this!)

RE: Do I just go ahead and date my Brother!!

Could be a compliment to him, silly!

When my late husband first met my dad, we were in the friendship stage...and he thought my dad was my new boyfriend (albeit older), until I introduced them. (There are 30 years between me and my dad, but he doesn't look more than about 15-20 years older than me...and I seem to be emulating him in that.)

RE: Do You Ever Just Go Out On The Middle Of The Week??

I'm not into the bar scene anymore. When I was, I didn't care what day of the week it was...I went out if I felt like it.

Now, I tend not to go out at all, except to work...just haven't felt like it for the past few months, I've been content at home. Plus, I feel too guilty if I crate my dogs just to go out since they've already been crated all day.

My best friend comes here on the weekend nights I don't have my sons. I just got tired of the whole "social" scene in this area...'cuz the only one is the bars and clubs...and people around here gossip about everyone else, and don't have a life of their own. I prefer to avoid them right now.

RE: Astrology Match

Aha, my friend, that's why we crack each other up! I'm telling you, it's at least my ideal friendship sign. I haven't tried dating one to be able to tell...they keep disappearing on me!

RE: Curious things in life....stuff to wonder bout!

Oh, my....have you guys solved the riddles of the world yet? I'm lovin' this!

Hmmm....Dusty, I thought I heard that they take the middle out of pasta this way to make the spaghetti, then cut up the other pieces and curve them a bit to make the macaroni...

I wonder which version is right?

RE: Do you know this song?

Yes, beautiful song. Glad somebody else already Googled it for you...if in doubt, Google-out!





(Yes, I know that was cheesy!)

RE: Roberta Flack - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face vs Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight

Can tell this one is close...boy, StressFree, you sure know how to make these tough!

RE: Astrology Match

Btw, I also get along very well with my Capricorn son, but he has Aries as his Ascendant.

RE: Astrology Match

LEO goes with Aries, Sagittarius, Gemini and Libra.

I agree...and disagree. My best match was a Libra, though...my late husband. Lately I seem to find fellow Leos, and we're too much alike for it to work well in theory...however, there's more than just Sun sign. You're really made of your whole chart, and it flexes...we are works in progress as the planets are constantly shifting and influencing us in different ways.

My best friend is a Virgo with a ton of Pisces in the rest of her chart, which is why we get along so well. She's really more Pisces than Virgo, so she's not so compulsive about things as to drive me nuts.

I think, depending on other factors in the chart, that my best Sun sign matches are Aquarius (I share their need for space), Pisces (mystical/spiritual compatibility, as well as space needs again), and Libra (so long as they don't try to rule and judge me...this can be the most authoritarian sign of the zodiac). My astrologer suggested a Pisces for me for now. Any male Pisces nearby? Or, men who know the rest of their charts and have a lot of Neptune in their charts?

My worst are fellow Leos and Scorpios. I've divorced two Scorpios, always seem to be reading along on a profile on the sites that have signs listed, only to find out that the guy that sounds so great and appealing to me is a Scorpio. No offense, but I'm not giving that one a third try at bat.

RE: Astrology Match

OMGoddess...that was way too funny!
