RE: Who ha$ been a millionair?

I've never been a millionaire financially, but I have been a millionaire in love, and I am a multi-millionaire with the friendships in my life.

I honestly don't care if I'm ever rich in material things, so long as I'm rich where it really counts...my spirit and my heart.

RE: Forced Religion.

It's all about greed and power, FP, and it's not okay. What we need is major change in this world so that all can live in peace and harmony. Yes, I'd love to see that...and I believe that we become capable of it, or Mother Earth is going to shake us off of her like fleas off of a dog. We're approaching becoming a failed experiment because we're exterminating ourselves and the planet simultaneously.

I'd like to know when enough people are going to wake up and realize what a small planet we inhabit and decide to work together to put differences aside and save this planet we live on instead.

RE: Save The Drama Fo' Yo' Momma!

Ain't that the truth!

RE: The bank.

Well, you're colorful enough, and if you put bells on some of those piercings and let the wind catch them, I'd say you could.

RE: Who improves a womans looks the most?

Good...some of us don't use anything to improve our looks, either. I feel that inner peace and good health are the best enhancers.

RE: Waves to everyone

Welcome to the nuthouse, Matt.

RE: Would you date someone still living with their Ex

Actually, I have a friend in this position for good reason, though he's looking to change the situation. Would I date him if he wasn't just a friend? I'd consider it. Sometimes life isn't black and white...it can get complicated and lead to situations like this. It doesn't mean that the marriage isn't over.

RE: If you meet that "SPECIAL PERSON" but he or she lives on the other Side of the World would you...

I'll second that one, Moideux.

RE: If you meet that "SPECIAL PERSON" but he or she lives on the other Side of the World would you...

Now you're the one whose home should be kept as a vacation spot, Jeeps.

RE: If you meet that "SPECIAL PERSON" but he or she lives on the other Side of the World would you...

Now that's the million dollar question.


And no, I wouldn't...not while my children are still so young. Some day, perhaps I could consider it, and would...but not now.

RE: Book Smarts vs Street Smarts...

Could you talk to my mother, John? She considers that I have the intelligence to learn whatever I want, but "the common sense of a flea".

I love her dearly, but she's incorrect on both extremes.

RE: Book Smarts vs Street Smarts...

I have book smarts, and have gained some street smarts the hard way. No, I wouldn't be intimidated by someone smarter than me in either way...and might be intelligent enough to learn things easier than I have in the past from someone with more street smarts.

What I most desire in a partner is a match intellectually, but also someone a bit less naive than I am.

RE: If You Knew, Would You Say Good-Bye?

Yes, it is, Sassy. You're a wonderful and strong woman, but I know that even the strongest of us have our weak moments, and we want to have someone strong to lean on during those...preferably someone male whose arms feel comforting and are filled with love and tenderness for us.

You've faced many challenges with your health with a positive attitude, refusing to let this beat you. I admire you for that.

There's a difference between someone who has mood swings, and someone who has a permanent personality change, but either is difficult to take on long term. It would take a special person to do that on a level of romantic partnership. I hope you find that special person, Sassy. But I know that you'll understand and deal with it if you don't. Stay positive, my friend, and keep living life. And always know that I'm here if you need someone to talk to.

RE: Apostasy

I have abandoned the religion I was raised in, and as my studies proceed and my life changes accordingly, I become more of a stranger to my parents. They don't understand my life as it is now...but thankfully, they do respect my right to it. And they try to understand, bless them.

Basically, I've opted for something very different from the way I was raised, in faith/beliefs of many things, not just religion/spirituality.

RE: Another age difference thread

OK, so 10 years would be 26, she's only 4 years younger than that. I use those year-spread things as a guide, they're not written in stone...and I don't believe that they should be.

I think it's awesome that you've found someone that you feel that strong of a connection with, SF.

RE: If You Knew, Would You Say Good-Bye?

Not everyone would be able to tolerate this for a long period. I know...I left a husband of 7 years because of the personality change he had due to his medication for his back pain, but only toward me. He was no different with anyone else. I think part of it was also his anger and frustration at what had happened, and at me for still being pain-free and able to work to support us. It got too ugly, and I couldn't stay. It was a hard decision, but I realized the toll that our relationship as it had become would take on our sons, and and each of us. To this day, 10 years later now, he's still that nasty toward me, and very vindictive. He will hurt our sons if it hurts me. I have no regrets over leaving. He went from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde, but it was permanently Mr. Hyde, not something that came and went. The man I married died.

On the flip side, I was by my late husband's side while he was going through everything he did with his cancer despite the fact that he sometimes yelled at me and told me to leave, threatened to shoot me, and threw things at the door in his rage and frustration. The rest of the time, he was needy and scared, and I couldn't leave him alone like that even in his worst moods. But we also knew it wasn't forever.

So honestly, my ability to stand beside someone as more than a friend would really depend on how bad the mood swings were, and how often...and how long this could go on. I think if it were going to be permanent, and effectively change their personality to one that I couldn't live with, I'd probably have to step it down to friendship. I wouldn't be able to be with them long term, and certainly not able to live with them, if it were going to be that severe.

RE: If You Knew, Would You Say Good-Bye?

Ditto.

RE: Don't Eat Me!

Welcome, Moideux! I hope you enjoy it here in the nut house...after all, you already met our resident poo-slinging monkey yesterday. (On a quiet day for him.)

RE: New to Connecting Singles

Ah...I know who you're referring to with that. You're friends with Moideux. We got a hint you might be joining!

RE: Another age difference thread

Not really. You're young and in good shape for your age in comparison to hers, and it's not really that big a difference. Relax, enjoy it, and see where it goes SF.

RE: Men and Women

I know a lot of men and women like this.

(No, I'm not one of them.)

RE: New to Connecting Singles

Welcome to the nut house, Waterloo! Anyone who can make it a bit zanier and more fun is always welcome!

RE: HELLO BEAUTIFULS I JUST GOT APPROVED!

Well, we'll accept you with open arms anyway.

Welcome to the nut house!

RE: Getting caught in the rain

Jeepers, you've got the life there, my friend.

RE: Getting caught in the rain

I used to love to dance out in the yard in the rain as a kid. I'd don my bathing suit, and dad would sit on the porch and drink a beer and smoke his pipe while I did.

RE: Getting caught in the rain

The last time I was caught in the rain like that was so long ago, and yet I've never forgotten it. I'd like to be doing what I was then...kissing a man I love. I don't care where, honestly, so long as I'm in his arms.

Now I just need to find that man.

RE: Friendship, switchblade duels, backstabbing & sudden surprise cuts from the side in the cyber world

So true, Ambrose. And that's when I've given my heart...hours of emails, IMs, phone calls...and a meeting planned not far away. I fell hard. Lesson learned. I stick closer to home now so that we will meet.

RE: Friendship, switchblade duels, backstabbing & sudden surprise cuts from the side in the cyber world

I didn't fall in love with them...at that age, it was definitely lust. I knew that there was no point in falling in love with someone I'd never meet. And online, I was supposed to meet them, so I allowed it. I'm a lot more cautious now. Next time, love will wait until we do meet, if I even get into another online LDR.

RE: Friendship, switchblade duels, backstabbing & sudden surprise cuts from the side in the cyber world

There are probably some crushes I've forgotten.

Oh, yeah...I had a poster of the Bay City Rollers too...I had a major crush on the lead singer!
