RE: Thanksgiving

I have been renovating my main bathroom for the last month and moaning about how long it's taking. I am thankful that I have the good fortune to have a house and the opportunity to renovate anything at all.
I will be looking after my friend, when she gets out of the hospital this weekend, for 6 more weeks of recovery after her last surgery. I will try and make it a special weekend for her as she won't be able to do anything on her own.cheers

RE: Any nice guys left out there?

Yes we are here...a little gun shy at times as I have been through the wringer with a few women as well. I actually moved from Ontario to Alberta to get away from a nasty ex-wife.

Bitter breakups



Feel Like Makin’ Dough

Baby when I think about you
I think about dough
Darlin’ I can’t live without you
You got my dough
If I had those golden dreams
Of my yesterdays
They’d be yours through the legal system
You always get your way

Feel like makin’…
Feel like makin’ dough
Feel like makin’ dough
Feel like makin’ dough
Feel like makin’ dough for you

Baby life’s good without you
When your far away
Darling I like you better
When your far away
And if I had another house to
Give to you
I would do so like Dorothy did
To the witch in Oz

Feel like makin’…
Feel like makin’ dough
Feel like makin’ dough
Feel like makin’ dough
Feel like makin’ dough for you

And if I had those golden dreams
Of my yesterdays
They’d be yours through the legal system
You always get your way

I feel like makin’…
Feel like makin’ dough
Feel like makin’ dough
Feel like makin’ dough
Feel like makin’ dough for you



I wrote this song 10 years ago after going through a miserable divorce. After losing everything I thought I would put my thoughts down in the only way I knew how. Anyone got any bitterbreakups you want to share?blues

RE: Love...

And here it is...


Something Special


Come over here sit beside me
Let me just say what’s on my mind

Can’t explain the way
I feel when I’m around you
Want to hold you close
Kiss you and say I love you

Come over here sit beside me
Let me just say what’s in my heart

All I want to do
Is spend my time with you dear
Opened up my heart
Invited you inside me

You are special in my own eyes
I will just hope you realize

I will not let this chance
Slide on past without a
Huge attempt on my part
To make this thing work out

Chemistry’s there was from the start
You can’t deny it’s in your heart

We have something special
Why not give it a go
There’s no harm in trying
We are both adults now

Open your heart let me inside
Let me take you for a great ride



Give yourself a chance to see
What you could have here
Living in the past will never
Do you good dear

Come over here sit beside me
Let me show you what’s in my heart

RE: Love...

Love your post butterfly...wish you and everyone all the best...might even have to write a song about it.cheers

RE: Love...

Now having said all that we still have to move on as life is still for the living. It's hard but you have to try and find a new person to fill up your life...and that can be a lot of fun once you get the mindset again.beer

RE: Love...

You don't realize how devastating it is when you lose someone that way. I hope nobody has to go through it until they are very old, so they have had a complete life together. Good luck to all. wine

RE: Love...

Yes I did find that person...for 8 years...and she lost her battle with cancer last year. blues

RE: Need to spit the dummy? come right in.

We have awful drivers here. It's like a code of honour that they must overtake you to get into your lane...even if they have to cut you off in the process. There is no way in hell that they would "yield" to the heathen driver and pull in behind them like civilized humanoids.sigh

RE: Yeah, this is dumb, but I'm curious....

Friday...bought all of my staff there own medium pizzas...ate the whole thing...didn't have to make supper that nightlaugh

RE: What happened to innocent fun?

We need to save it before we declare a moratorium on it.help

RE: What happened to innocent fun?

Well, be thankful you aren't in one of the other current threads as they are tearing each other apart. Certainly answers a lot of questions in this thread.blues

RE: What happened to innocent fun?

Yeah...tried that a couple of times...still it is fun to read the threads...poke my nose in once in a while when I have time.

RE: What happened to innocent fun?

I get ignored all the time...whatever...there seem to be certain ones here that just like to say hi to each other like it's a status symbol or something. whatever floats your boatconfused

RE: Do you believe in internet dating?

Yes...I met my partner 8 years ago on an internet dating service. We would still be happily ever after if she didn't lose her battle with cancer last year.
The best thing about a dating service is you know the other person is looking also, as you are only guessing when you see someone who catches your eye elsewhere(bar, store...etc.)Makes it easier to ask as far as I'm concerned. and here I am again...

RE: What happened to innocent fun?

I don't know why people fight...I suppose it's easier to say something nasty than think up something intelligent. I guess you could just ignore the ones who are trying to start something and just move oncheers

RE: Did you ever read comic books?

Sandman, Watchmen, anything by Marvel(remember Not Brand Ecch!), DCbeer

RE: How many people think that one's astrological sign is a true indicator of compatibility?

2 Libra's are a good matchkiss

RE: DOES LOVE FADE WITH TIME?

I was with my partner for 8 years and it just grew stronger all the time. Unfortunately she passed away last year and I will always love her. When you find the right person it doesn't fade at all.wine

RE: When poetry should be introduced through the early stage of dating

I write songs for people just for fun. Write a fun poem first off and see how receptive they are. Write a more personal poem later on...it works....wine

RE: What songs are you listening to now?

Pull My Strings-Dead Kennedys...it's Saturday night...time to let 'er rip!head banger
