Seems like everyone has gone home (or is slumped in a corner - nonresponsive). The lights are down low, the music is calling, it's a slow love ballad - are you ready -- here, take my hand ...
Des probably had to go back to the storeroom - seems like someone(ones) have been imbibing a lot of the captian this evening. Course, I ain't sayin' he went all by himslf, mind you.
Krisha, From a cancer survivor, who has been in remission for 10 years - 90% of everything at point is attitude. Some people choose to acquiesce when faced with tremendous adversity, others choose to fight. Cancer is not the death sentence that it was 40 years ago. People fight it and survive every day. Your sister, you and all of us must choose to fight. I am not saying that it is easy, it will take great strength and support, there will be good days and bad, but it is winable. Prepare yourself, learn as much as you can, and get good, quality advice. Then prepare to kick some cancer butt.
Agreed. I lived in Korea for six years and in Thailand for one. If you fail to recognize and accept the local culture, you are setting yourself up for a horrible experience. Much better to assimilate and enjoy.
An e-mail relationship is, I think, a very poor substitute for the development of a real personal connection. Too many con men (and women) can promote themselves to be a persona that is not truly them. The only way to really know another's heart (and whether or not chemistry exists) is to look into their eyes, and hear their words without the arificiality of a keyboard.
Another take on the subject - 25 years ago women could only look up at the glass ceiling. Wage disparities were an accepted fact of life. As women strove to break the ceiling, they found it necessary to (or chose to) model "successful" men, becoming more dedicated to the job and more ruthless in their approach. The definition of success was measured in dollars (or Euros) and in material possessions. That drive to succeed may work well in the board room, but does not work well in other areas of life. I have learned that the success of my life will be measured, not in the gold that will be buried with me, but rather in the legacy that I leave behind.
Does a pregnant woman deserve to be loved, or to be "found" by someone, after the father of the child has ditched her? ABSOLUTELY. I would not deny that to anyone searching for the love of their life. It may happen now, or somewhere down the road. It is not something that can be rushed.
Should a pregnant woman be out dating in search of the "one", after the father of the child has ditched her? I would think that she should have some higher prioities at this point in her, and the child's, life. Again, it is not something that can be rushed. It will happen when it happens.
Would I date a pregnant woman, after the father of the child has ditched her? Probably not. She would have to someone absolutely tantalizing, and, probably, someone that I have already known for a while.
We have all made mistakes in our lives (why else are we on CS? - lol). And, we are all in search of that "one". But there are issues in our lives which, at times, must assume a higher position on our personal Top Ten lists than our next conquest.
