Might try this in the morning...right now my brain is to sluggish! Thank you, though...I've needed directions! Goodness knows how long it would have taken me to notice those things down at the lower emoticons...I only saw the emoticons!
Thank you again, Trish. Yes, and there are some who have truly made me feel welcome, you are definitely among them! I really like it here, and was made to feel a part of the family almost from the beginning. I've ceased to care if I ever get a date off of this site...I'm enjoying meeting people from around the world and making friends.
Now, if I could just figure out how to make the things like bold and different colors work, it would be great. Followed those directions once and it didn't work.
Thank you, Trish! Good to see you again too! This site has become too addicting...I had shut down for the night, was relaxing my eyes for a bit, and just had to come back and turn the computer on again to see if there was anything interesting going on!
Well, that's why I was asking...and apologizing if I was wrong...just covering my bases and trying not to step on toes, but wanted to join in 'cuz it was an interesting thread.
Thank you, Mindful. I will eventually catch on to a lot...and quickly. I'm good at that.
I'm lucky...mine are teenagers, and recently they said "Mom, you're cool. You're not a teen, but you're a tween"...which means I'm between being a teen and an adult! Always feels good when your kids see you as young at heart!
I liked your response to what some others have responded...no, he didn't "guarantee" anything like that, btw...that's why I chose "meditation" as my answer. The Christian definition of God isn't mine, thereby does not remove guilt. Acceptance of one for who one is and realizing that you can't change the past, and acknowledging that one is not perfect...those things can help alleviate guilt though. Afterall, that emotion doesn't do any good. Through meditation I have searched within my soul, found my inner strength and inner peace, and continued with a life that I strive daily to improve.
My apologies for intruding, though, if this was supposed to be a Christian thread, or if you were looking only for a Christ- or God-based answer.
I hope you reported her! That's just as bad...doesn't matter what gender is doing to which one!
Yeah, had a guy who had already told me that he was a soldier from Denmark serving in the UN Peacekeeping Force in Nigeria (they have no current missions in that African country) ask for money to come here (NO), then had the gall to ask me to get him an AT&T phone and SIM card and send it to him so that he could keep contact easier (NO). I'd already busted him on his language translation...he started in Dutch in response to my German (after asking me what all that was), and corrected it after I called him on it. I played the game for a while to see just when the first money request would come in...yep, about a week. The phone request was the end of the game. I told him to get lost. (I hate playing games anyway.)
I just reported one of those! Email to me was in English that made no sense, could tell it was put through one of those translators, and he wanted instant off-site contact. I've already learned through other sites what to look for just by getting enough contact from these scamsters (that's what one site to eradicate them calls them, Nigerian scamsters...probably 'cuz they multiply like hamsters, then disappear into dark holes), and it matched the examples on this site.
If in doubt, report it...let them trace the IPP address and figure it out.
Oh...another one was the night my husband died, someone played "The Dance" by Garth Brooks...3 times...and I cried each time, it was so appropriate. And I had never heard it before that night.
The Dance
Looking back on the memory of The dance we shared 'neath the stars alone For a moment all the world was right How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye
And now I'm glad I didn't know The way it all would end the way it all would go Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain But I'd of had to miss the dance
Holding you I held everything For a moment wasn't I a king But if I'd only known how the king would fall Hey who's to say you know I might have chanced it all
And now I'm glad I didn't know The way it all would end the way it all would go Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain But I'd of had to miss the dance
Yes my life is better left to chance I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance
So far, the ones I recognize are all beautiful choices that I have to admit touched me the first time I heard them, too...the others would if I heard them, I'm sure.
My honest feeling in response to this question is that I think you can fall in love online, but actually loving the person would require spending time in person getting to know each other's quirks...and making sure that they really are who they said that they are...falling in love is easy, maintaining it is hard.
