when I first read the title of the above post, I thought I read Eau de Chiwawa...whew! glad I was wrong; love the one the cows! and one about everyone feeds THE town pidgeon! a small town when your post office is in the next county or the mail has to arrive by a guy who has to pull the donkey up the mountain track( if I remember, one is Pluto, West Virginia)... You don't need to use you signal lights because everyone knows where where you are going.... Every sport is played on a dirt floor....
it's a condition that permeates everywhere and some countries almost went bankrupt over it and have had to stop almost all forms of assistance, even up here with all the cutbacks on all social programs, these attitudes are only growing....and the Govt.'s are still paying out to these "young-single mothers"...there are a few "housing projects" where the tennants are over 70% "young single moms"...and the kids are everywhere....dirty to fithy and many overweight from all their junk garbage food diets...and the beat goes on.....
The 2 biggest business's in town are the used car and a used tractor dealerships You cant'walk anywhere around town because every pik-up or tractor that passes offers you a ride You are born on June 13th and receive all the gifts from from the local merchants because you are the first baby of the year..... The ol' Welcome to--------- and the You are leaving------ signs have more words on them than there are buildings...
oh, you would not believe some of the tings one hears while quietly haing a lunch and trying to read....some of the women also sitting there just stared, stunned and shook their heads....future "mothers' of future children...
A real Gem has stepped out into the light! Yoy have a unique take on these matters, that I'm sure many sigle parents with kids of most ages would benefit from to hear from you Calirep. I daresay you have insights no one here has come across, please stay around and let us all listen to your impressions...:)
did you perchance mean to say, said I ,I said, said I ,I said, there was this girl with red, red hair and I..oh never mind; I thought for a moment that I was back in a run-down coffeehouse in Greenwich Village reading poetry..:)
Money and what we own are the two most insidious categories that are a plague on people ever finding happiness with a mate; it is very sadly the most important features that people(mostly females) look at and for in a possible mate/lover/"significant other"(ever wonder what the reverse is?); hence as is my impression from observation, the vast amounts of cynicism and disrespect shown towards women here which is, in many cases all too true, but those are some of the "roles" for women to follow...again, Media driven which divides and further destroys society....
LOL; keep going! don't stop now, that's what these forums are all about...it's not only getting to know each other, but also ourselves with some self-reflections...:)
I stopped having any "relationships" years ago; I finally just gave up....that's what "bugs" me... I know exatly what you mean by this "you should...";I hope that you know that I was being facetious in somethings...:)
I read a lot of resentment in ther;probably justified...to a degree.Let's hope it does not cloud your perspectives; how and why someone would tell you how to dress, what wear unless they are a fashion designer or fashion plate whose sense of style comes from the house of Gucci is most likely a control isue or that you have no sense of fashion and are therefore a bad reflection on your friend meaning that you are a crime of Fashion, dahling, wrong lipstick;clashes with your eye shadow which distracts from your dress which is the wrong shade for your stockings, blah, blah, blah; you really should do something about that mascara, it's oh, so gauche....so uncool... People(men) have obcessive control issues over females; you should know this; geographic areas and levels on uneducation play vital roles in this obcessive/ compulsive tug-of-war; so does religion, like the fanatics of the old testament Must control "their" women, both figureratively and literally; those types are "our" Talibans if you will; they are pathetic. Getting to know people who may be a potential mate/suitor/lover, etc. can be a very tedious process, especially with your childrens welfare and safety at stake; they are first in your many concerns as they should be; don't confuse independence with being very careful and going with your instincts...."femenine intuition" on matters of character assesments and safety issues; follow them first and you'll do fine; just remember to do something about that mascara! :)
To be in love is like being in suspended animation, "To be in Love is merely to be in a state of perpetual anesthesia" as H.L. Menken put it; "Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence...also from Menken; it is in all aspects the cessation of all your mental senses...:)
The nearest airport is over 200 miles away... You're run off the main street by a combine... You drive into a ditch 5 miles from town and word gets back before you do... You speak to each dog you pass by name and they wave their tail at you... The pic-ups on Main St. outnumber the cars 4 to 1 The drive-in movie screen is the back wall of the Liquor store... You dial the wrong number, but end up talking for 15 minutes anyway... Somebody asks you how you feel and then actually listens to what you say.... any further thoughts....:)
From what I have experienced, directly observed and heard, women in north america, more than any other places that I've lived in or been to, are seemingly obcessed to find one abusive relationship after another, and leave the ones that are not almost immediatly, to either find a new one or return to an old one....I don't understand this "addiction" at all....what is so attractive about being abused in the most horrible, dispicable ways possible and even insist on it.........?????????????sick!
You make a lot of sense; it goes to the heart of a lot in dealing with our children. Mine used to keep urging me, but there was never anyone so on that one facet of my children's lives I failed completely, much to their dismay. I just finally gave up trying,to find someone "for all of us" as it were; I relly hated to give up, but it was just too painful and depressing, so in a round-about way, we all became more stabilized with the situation. I worry at times over what they will think; are thinking, growing up with no mother, no "mother figures", with a father who had no one; it does bother me that they will one day pronounce their verdict: guilty of being a total failure(in that category) which, I am....so is Life...
Yesterday I was thinking about this topic after seeing another futile attempt of a single father get turned down for a date and aall in all over the years from what I've heard,and observed, Crytkeeper has hit it square on,,,single women really do not want to really have any sharing relationship with a man who has children from another woman; they can't seem to get away from him fast enough, yet men are much more open when the position is reversed....it must be a form of "pathological jealousy: on the women's part....
ahhh, nothing like that feeling of having a firm grip on the ..."situations" is there! gripping, caressing, gently squeezing; , wanting to ever so tightly s q e e z e....:) oh god, here comes the produce manger, I have to ,uh buy something....yes, take it home and do things....:)
Didn't you say that you would not hang around the Fruit sections in grocery stores anymore...?? here you go again....:) the fruits of your labors....:)
mesmerizing implies a state of non active behavior, almost like in a trance; not so with the Stones concert in Paris, summer of ..65 if I recall the date, and Chuck Berry was just both "electrifying" that was the way to go nuts!:)
and who makes the laws there like that...the State Treasurer...what goes around, comes around...maibe somehow the scenario can be arranged for him to be found bombed out of his mind, soaked in the stuff...:) hint, hint:)
and now, a few words from the flippant side; I used to live in souther Maryland around lots of Amish and Menonites; imagine carriages and horses carrining all over the roads filled with drunken ,yelling Amish gangs and Menonites throwing bottles at each other... racing each other, ditches filled with overturned buggies and horses; just another Saturday night down in Amishville...:)
haven't we all, in one fashion or another; there is nothing like friends and fun as you say even if there no romantic connections...I like your new photo; just barely able to clearly read "angel" on your shirt...nice touch!!:)
