RE: What Phobia has a grip on you. . . . an why!

Interesting. My Nana couldn't go up on the first step of a step ladder, but loved to fly. I can get up a couple of steps on a ladder, but love to fly.

My phobias are fear of the dark (though that one has a good reason that I still remember all too well), deep water and sharks. To show just how deep-seated and irrational that particular phobia is, I can't swim in the part of a pool that has a shadow, there might be sharks there, and I can swim in deep water, as long as nothing is moored there. I can't swim out to those little rafts in lakes, though, or anywhere a boat is moored.

RE: Heres an idea, everyone will be able to find there perfect date!!!!

Good luck...but funny OP, definitely.

RE: A prediction...

A beautiful dream. I hope it comes true for you.

RE: hitm,an list

That would be my question too, GB.

RE: New here

Welcome, and please don't get bare with us. But we will gladly bear with you.


Sorry, couldn't resist.

RE: So what do I say?

I believe "when she responds", due to the way it's written within commas, refers to herself when she responds to a man. I hope that helps with the grammar issue. And yes, hers was correct.

To answer the OP, I agree. I'd like to know what men mean when they say, "Tell me more about yourself" because the main things are right there in my profile. I respond better to those who can start a conversation off of something in my profile, or ask for more information regarding something in it.

RE: I've lost myself

It's so easy to give in to despair, tougher to trust in the Universe to care for you, and remain positive. But if you do, the Universe responds. I wish you luck, but you can make your own by focusing on one of these at a time and bringing it into your life.

And first, you need to love yourself inside.

RE: Contact wearers! What do you know!?!

I wear glasses rather than contacts because I can't stick my fingers in my eyes. Kudos to those who are brave enough to be able to insert those things in your eyes.

It might just take some adjustment because of the one eye distant/one eye near vision thing. That's the old way, though. There are newer contacts that have all three fields of vision (middle as well) like blended bifocals, but I don't know if you can get them with your astigmatism (I have that also, in my left eye).

Go online and see what you can find out about that, 'cuz you might want to tell him/her you want different ones.

RE: is there someone of inetrest to you on cs

Nope, not at this time. Lots of great guys that I'm friends with though, and gals. Right now, that's exactly the way I want it.

RE: Let's Get Together with Bill W.

Who is Bill W? Regardless, welcome to CS and the forums.

RE: How do you keep your 'Love' alive: Despite time, aging, quarrells, sickness.....?

Most of the men I've been with long term know that something's very wrong when I go into "Yes, Dear" mode. Anyone who truly loves me knows that is not me, and wouldn't want me to be like that. Good luck, Lonely1. And welcome back. I've missed you on here.

RE: Lack of interest on CS

That is also always a possibility.

RE: Lack of interest on CS

I had one man on here who did that to me, went silent for a long time, acted weird, etc. We're still friendly on here, even email each other occasionally. No hard feelings.

I had another who turned out to not be all that he seemed, and he has left for now. I don't know if he'll come back or not, and what will happen if he does. But again, I have no hard feelings. I'm not one to hold a grudge. I have learned to guard my heart more, especially if it's going to be a while before we get to meet in person.

RE: how long was the shortest relationship that you had and thought it would last forever ?

Six months, we were engaged to be married when he got cold feet watching me pour over bridal magazines while we planned our wedding. He moved out at 3 am, started packing in the middle of wedding planning. He was the first man I lived with, and my parents said "better to find out then rather than after the wedding, I guess".

RE: A bee sting

I'm sorry about your friend, Jess. I'm allergic to bee stings to, but luckily my reaction gives me more time. It's not anaphylactic, but cellutic. An Epi Pen could have saved his life.

RE: When a Dream happens. . . who has one to tell?

Bentlee, sounds like your dream had a purpose to warn you of this, and there was a possibility of a different outcome that didn't happen for some reason. Yes, I believe in dreams foretelling possible future happenings.

The other explanation for things like this is that they're markers to tell us that we are exactly where we're supposed to be on our path. Deja vu and dreams like this can be things we agreed before coming in would be landmarks we'd recognize that we are on target.

Either way, glad that it didn't have worse consequences, and you're still with us.

RE: How do I know if I can trust someone that I like overseas?

Definitely a scam. Any time they ask you for money, it's a scam.

RE: UP THE DEISE,ANY TIP PEOPLE OUT THER

I don't even know what she's talking about...I mean, I get the fact that it's a sports team, but don't know what sport.

RE: Has anyone ever tried

Same here. I was interested in seeing if Windows 7 was better...but nobody seems to have tried it yet.

And QSF, the only superflous question (or stupid one) is the one not asked...except here in forums.

(And yours was neither...it was a good one.)

RE: AYN RAND

Thank you, Wonder. "The Virtue of Selfishness" does sound intriguing in its title, so I will look into that one. "We The Living" also sounds like something I'd be interested in reading.

RE: AYN RAND

Thank you, Vixen. I definitely figured "Atlas Shrugged" must be political in nature, since that's the one that was recommended. I will see if I can find some of her essays...that sounds like something that can be taken in small bites between text studies.

RE: AYN RAND

Honestly, I have heard of her works, but haven't read them yet. Perhaps some day when my studies are done and I have time to read something besides texts and related books. I'm not sure I care to read political writings, though. I thought her writings were more philosophical in nature, rather than political, until a recent recommendation from a political activist.

So...knowing that I'm keen on philosophy and spirituality, but not on politics, are there any of her works that you'd recommend?

RE: May I show you my double entendre?

I'd forgotten about that one!

RE: May I show you my double entendre?

RE: May I show you my double entendre?

I was surprised nobody else had put it up here yet, it's such a classic!

RE: Happy Birthday Newinsouth!!

Happy Birthday!

RE: May I show you my double entendre?

My turn to say it...copycat!

RE: career

And blessings to you, too, Goldstone, for being able to make money at your arts.

Life should be about living, not sacrificing. What happened to the old days when we were tested for our talents and what we enjoyed, then apprenticed in the appropriate fields for us? And artisans were a respected part of the community?

RE: career

I see nothing childish about being an artist for a living at all. I think it's wonderful that you have such talent that you can make a living from it. Why not? I think in this life we should all love what we do for a living...otherwise it's not making a living, it's making a sacrifice for money.
