RE: how important is money to you

AH.....Now there is a fantastic and balanced ( dr....cr.. Bal..) view on life...Money is everything...it is time that people copped on and realized that nothing else is really of any importance. I must order my coffin...and it will also be lined with studs..Brad..George..etc..
lmao...shoulda gone to specsavers...thought your post said studded with life savings...ah whatever I will stick with my studs!!

RE: Old men wanting kids grrrrrrrr

I think that maybe Einstein had one "illegitmate" child...
I dont think that you have been offering any opinion other than your own biased one. I respect the fact that you have children and in my opinion based on your comments on different threads you appear to be a really good hands on and caring father. My thing is that in general...you are being judgemental towards people that dont have kids.
We are not scary people...we actually do not eat kids... We just for different reasons have not had children!

RE: Old men wanting kids grrrrrrrr

Oh Jimbo...I cannot let this one go!
Why do any of us have to justify our existence? Is that a condition of being born? ie...you will only be given life if you can justify it?? I disagree that our purpose is to procreate...what the hell does that mean? We cannot be on this earth unless we reproduce?? The evolution process, I think...made us a wee bit better than animals..some creatures eat their young...maybe we should do that if we dont like our young?
Some people are not maternal or paternal...it does not make them any less productive members of society...hmmm I wonder should they lie awake at night trying to come up with reasons to justify their existence!
Damn Albert Einstein...he didn't have kids...what a pratt he was...what did he ever give to the world since he didn't reproduce??

RE: Psychic/Clairyovants

Sure we are all putting our two bits worth in here including yourself, Surely we are all entitled to voice an opinion....so here is my opinion. I found Fifi's posts to be informative and fair even though I told her that I was somewhat of a cynic. She is a respectful poster on here even if another poster disagrees with her.

RE: Psychic/Clairyovants

I would definitely be interested to hear more.....not promising to be good though....will be on my cynical bratty perch.

RE: Psychic/Clairyovants

Unfortunately there are so many dipsticks out there that they give genuine people a bad name. I am a cynic but depending on what country a person is from and if there is political unrest there would it not be a good guess that someone might have had a family member in the armed forces?. I am not discounting your ex here I am really just being a cynical brat!
Believe it or not I am actually quite open to the whole idea and sure we really have no idea what the human mind is capable of.
I most definitely dont need anyone to tell me that I will be wrecked in the morning though

RE: Psychic/Clairyovants

I had heard about this one locally...you know....oh she knew things that no one could have known etc. I went to her out of absolute curiosity. She asked me lots of questions to which I gave non committal answers. She made some general statements. Firstly it is obvious to anyone from my accent that I am not from here. Secondly I look my age..or older. I think that in most cases you do not get to my age without having lost someone who was close to you. Chances are if you are living outside of your "native accent area lol" that you have travelled! Most people of my age know someone with the initials "J" or "M"....No name books back in the dark ages so we were all named John or Mary! Anyway she told me that I was very hard to read. I just looked on it as a bit of craic but this same woman had left people that I knew in a right state by feeding them a load of crap. One young girl had just lost her Dad and was very vulnerable and this one really upset her. So that is the kind of thing that pisses me off. I would really love to meet some genuine ones though. As regards wanting to know about people that I have lost, I have reached a stage of acceptance about my losses. In the initial stages of bereavement I would have considered anything to make me feel close to the people I had lost but now I just remember them fondly and dont feel the need to have any kind of intervention or whatever. My future will be what it is and I already know what my past is.

RE: Psychic/Clairyovants

Maybe there are genuine ones out there but I have just seen vulnerable people , who hear what they want to hear, been totally taken in and it really does piss me off. Some of these so called psychics are just really good at reading people and making them open up and feed personal information to them which they then rehash and throw back at them. Having said that it is something that I find very interesting but I just dont believe in it and I am cynical. I would love to be proven wrong though. Not meant to be offensive to you or your ex Fifi. Also I don't know the difference between fortune tellers/psychics etc...so apologies if my statements appear ignorant.

RE: Old men wanting kids grrrrrrrr

Dont be ridiculous....we will be immortalized forever in the CS Hall of Shame fame!!

RE: Old men wanting kids grrrrrrrr

I just came on here to disagree
I dont think that a man in his early to mid 50's is too old to have a kid. I do however draw the line at any parent changing their own and their kids nappies at the same time.
My Father was 52 when I was born and my Mother was 39. I lost them early on, my Father was 56 when he died and my mother was 62(Both died suddenly and unexpectedly).
I always remember feeling absolutely loved by them( I know you were not making any assumptions about an older parents capability of love :) ) and I am lucky enough to have amazing memories of my Father even though I was only 4 when he died. I had a very close relationship with my mother and I never thought of her as being old.
Because I am older a lot of my friends had parents of the same age group as mine. Most of their parents lived long and healthy lives..most of them well into their eighties.
I figure that most parents have done the major part of raising their kids after about 17 years or so, I left home when I was 17 so my Mother did not have to be some young wan running around minding me. Had my father lived he would have been 69 when I left home which I dont think is terribly old.
Anyway that is just my personal experience and also having seen my friends with older parents,it was all positive.

RE: Feb 11- VALENTINE MEET in DUBLIN

Correcting your spelling??? didn't even notice...the ??? were about anyone referring to this auld wan as being reliable lol
Now let me go back and check your spelling!

Whichever one houses your brain

RE: who plays the mind games and has the hidden agendas

.....And I wouldn't advise you to start either.....unless you want your head wrecked!!

Groundhog Day

You know the way that in the USA they have groundhog day? When the wee groundhog leaves its burrow it means that better weather is on the way....
I think that we should have Bare Torso Day on CS...I have seen a few of them leave their burrows in the last 24 hours....and have made their way to my mailbox!
If Winter comes can Spring be far behind??

RE: lovely women

I can only get books from amazon.com which works out great cos they are much cheaper. I ordered the kindle from amazon.com as the uk site would not deliver to me. I just rang Amazon and got them to set everything up for me cos it was taking forever online. They told me that since I do not live in the UK I cannot order the books from amazon uk....dunno how that works out if you buy the kindle in a regular shop

RE: Feb 11- VALENTINE MEET in DUBLIN

Reliable??? Could meet in O'Ds for one first!!

RE: Books

Paperback....really??? That is so last year!!

RE: lovely women

Ah I am happy with my old kindle....How do you like the kindle fire? I think that I can actually share kindle books with you and it seems that we read a lot of the same stuff.
Oh...this is not really a hijack...sure we are both lovely girls even if we are a wee bit goofy

RE: Books

Had to google Lee Child, then realized that I have one of his books...on my to read next list... Have not read any of his books yet...looking forward to it now. Thanks.

RE: lovely women

So are you going to start with the complaints???

RE: Feb 11- VALENTINE MEET in DUBLIN

Okay.....me too...but don't think that yourself and that Sharina wan can send me astray!!!

RE: Books

I am now a kindle snob...haven't bought a real book in ages but I buy the books of Amazon US and they work out about half the price of new releases in bookshops here, sometimes even less than half price. I agree that the charity shops are great for books though. A lot of the stuff I read is stuff that I would just give away afterwards so I don't see the point of paying through the nose for them.
The Alienist is a really good scary book, read it years ago....cant remember who wrote it.

RE: Books

Yes indeed....worked on the premise....start as you mean to go on!

RE: Books

Oops Coben even!

RE: Books

Have you read any David Baldacci or Harlan Coban? I like those. I also like Jeffrey Deaver. I think I have pretty much read all of their books now so will be looking for someone new.

RE: Books

Jeez....she was a right auld moan that one....I always remember the opening line " Is sean bhean mé anois is leath chois san uaigh" !!! She was only about 55-60 when it was written, I think.
I appreciate that it is a good documentation of life on the Blaskets at the time and that she did have a hard life but I was never a huge fan of the book. Not even looking back through rose coloured glasses can make me remember it fondly lol and I was actually one of the weirdos who loved Irish at school.

RE: A date !

I would say...Grand so...then buy myself whatever wine I wanted....let him drink the vinegar lol..then again like Vinny said some cheaper wines are nice too. I am not a wine drinker, I like Chiraz and I have gotten a nice chiraz..Jacob's Creek or whatever for under a tenner.
Anyway right now I have my coke, an indian and "The Girl with the dragon tattoo" all ready to go.

RE: Regrets on your death bed

I will wail when you kick the bucket...will even have a southern comfort in your honour....and you know the rest!!

RE: Profilers....

Dont know but they must cos some people actually know what he looks like...
Ah sure he is not the worst....at least he knows what a spade is
Come to think of it...does anyone who calls a spade a spade actually know what a spade looks like???

RE: Regrets on your death bed

Seemingly these are 5 regrets that a lot of people have...

1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me. Unfulfilled dreams remain the most common regret.

2. I wish I didn’t work so hard. Missing their children’s youth and their partner’s companionship is a major regret for males.

3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings. Suppressing feelings to keep the peace can lead to bitterness and illness. Speaking honestly makes healthy relationships and ends unhealthy ones.

4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends. Everyone misses their friends when they are dying and many have regrets about not giving golden friendships the attention they deserved.

5. I wish that I had let myself be happier. Happiness is a choice that is often suppressed. On your deathbed you care little of what people think but long to be able to smile again and be silly.
