The spontaneity in writing a love letter is that its your thoughts then and there, yes if you sit and write until it sounds right the spontaneity has gone, but when you have been chatting to someone all evening finally say goodnight and then immediately write her a letter, then that is both spontaneous and romantic.
The name was chosen, because the Macintosh was the largest selling Apple in the state at that time, the name is used with a license from the largest of this fruit grower, Apple Inc have tried to purchase the rights to the name but so far have not succeeded,
I have interviewed many over the years, and found that a relaxed informal interview is by far the best way to determine if the candidate will fit in and be capable of the position they are seeking.
If I was asked that question I would make a joke of it, describe the noxious mole on the right inner thigh, and that by progressing within this new job I will be able to afford to have it removed.
The true romantic, has words from his heart, when your with that special person thats when you share those intimate thoughts.
My heart is bursting at this time, was supposed to meet her at 12 but now its all up in the air, but I would spend 1 hour in her arms than an eternity without her
My first wife was South African Catholic, I am not religious, second wife was Cayman Islander, our son is half black half white, to me he is my son to his friends, he is a friend. To bigots he is worthless, thats their lose.
Its the person's personality and character thats important.
Race colour creed has no place in matrimony.
And to be so selective is insular beyond the point of reason.
you have to base any relationship on truth, trust and honest, but there are occasions when its correct to answer questions with edited highlights.
I am happy to explain, in broad detail why my past relations failed. but I would never go into intimate detail
We are shaped as a person by our past experiences so they will have a bearing on future relationships, best to be honest, but no one should expect very detail. unless the giver is trying to clear some issues, but thats another story.
If you stay we will give you a head start in the "Last post wins" thread.
Seriously Angel, there are total braindead dickheads everywhere, not just CS, you could get on a bus and sit next to one, but that would not stop you from using buses, you just become more picky as to where you sit.
I have met truly wonderful people here, and soon will be meeting someone who has become very special, so I can assure you that there really are genuine and real people on CS, thedickheads are very much in the minority.
Yes report the guy, but don't let that spoil your chance of perhaps finding that special man waiting for you in the shadows.
I so agree with you, such a shame that as we become adults we lose that childish ability to see things as they truly are, we as adults always seem to have to make a mountain out of a mole hill, we all need to go back to being a child at times, jump in puddles, kick up leaves, I think the world would be a better place if we all did that.
This was sent to me by my close friend Australia1, I thought it was wonderful and hope you feel the same.
A Dog's Purpose (from a 6-year-old).
Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle.
I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn't do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home.
As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience.
The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker 's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away.
The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker's Death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, 'I know why.'
Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation.
He said, 'People are born so that they can learn how to live a good Life -- like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?' The Six-year-old continued, 'Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long.'
Live simply.
Love generously.
Care deeply.
Speak kindly.
Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like:
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure Ecstasy.
Take naps.
Stretch before rising.
Run, romp, and play daily.
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
Be loyal.
Never pretend to be something you're not.
If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently.
I was sent this from a close friend and thought I would share it

But I am not disagreeing with you, I am saying that if someone has spent a long time unsuccessfully finding a partner, maybe they need to reassess what they are seeking, maybe their ideal is just that an ideal, and as you get older so you realise that Ideal does not exist. Of course we have standards etc, but maybe ruling out people who have had children, or may be an inch out height wise or 2 years outside an age range is actually ruling out some very good and worthwhile people.
I never even thought about my height until I joined dating sites, then every other female profile stated tall, over 5'10, WTF, why, I have been out with women from 5' 0 to 5'11" and never gave it so much as a thought, my ex wife was 2 inches taller than me, when we were at Dances/Balls she wore high heels and towered over me, I was just proud to be with someone I considered to be beautiful, the height was not an issue and she never said anything to me.
Instead of concentrating of negative aspects of someone's height why not delve into the positive things that you find attractive.
I don't mean to offend, but it sounds like your desperate and you what someone to provide for you, thats not too attractive to the average guy, a companion, equal partner maybe but provider?
Maybe if you reappraise your profile, make it sound like your are worth finding and chasing, open to the fact that men are not perfect, and that most will have children of some description, the more narrow the "ideal" man the less chance of finding one, there are many great guys on CS alone, but you have to open your mind and eyes to find them
I have a wonderful friend, I met her when she was 19, we were together for 3 years, she was born with a major heart problem, a hole and reduced valve size, her mother was told that she would maybe live 4 to 6 weeks, we have remained friends since our breakup, she is now 51 years old, okay she never did sports and sometimes has bad days but she is a respected Maternity Nurse and lives life to the full.
There is always hope, Doctors are the first to admit they can and are wrong is some of these cases, hang on in there Morgan, what will be will be. My thoughts are with you for this truly distressing time. Take care.
