RE: what type of work do you do

I'm a Customer Care Assistant for a well known chain of fast food restaurants. Basically cleaning up after the customers, making balloon dogs and making sure the customers enjoy themselves

RE: What Do You Do When Your Family Is Cursed?

I am so sorry about what happened to you and thank goodness no-one got hurt. Material possessions can be replaced a life can not be replaced. All the posts on here show that you are loved so don't apologise for venting. I know it's hard but try to think positive starting with the most positive of all, no-one lost their lives. You still have each other. You are a lovely caring person and as someone said you have reached rock bottom, the only way is up.

RE: Being Stood Up

Sorry you got stood up Dru. As others have said his loss. I got stood up a couple of weeks ago, sent a total of 3 texts the final 1 ending in Goodbye and I had tried ringing but the phone just went straight to voicemail. I've picked myself up and moved on and for the past few days have been mailing another guy from another site, so far so good and we've started off with complete and utter honesty. He knows what I will and won't tolerate and he's still interested. There is someone out there for you and sooner or later you will meet. Never give up. Good things come to good people.

RE: TO THE CS MANAGEMENT.....

A few birds will do nicely I could always record my noisy lot and send the recording in once my son shows me how.

RE: cheesiest pop songs ever!!!

I remember that one I think I've still got the record. How about Puppy Love I think it was either Donny or Jimmy Osmond who sung that one

RE: TO THE CS MANAGEMENT.....

I usually log on about 4 a.m. once I've fed the pets and had breakfast that is. Coffee emoticon good idea though great for us tee-totallers

RE: We Tied The Knot!

Congratulations. I wish you every happiness for the future.

RE: I am new

Welcome to the site. It is fun here and the people are nice as well.

RE: Trophy Case

Last week I walked 9 miles for charity. Must admit though that I love walking no matter what the weather.

RE: I need you.

Are you ok? If I was closer too I'd give you a cuddle.

RE: A wish for a dear friend

I've only known Kate a little over a week and you are right she is a treasure. I will join you in wishing her a quick recovery and send her my best wishes for the post.

RE: Do you snore while sleeping?

If I've got a cold I snore but otherwise no.

RE: "" BELIEVE THAT LOVE BELIEVE""

Hi Edna Apart from the fact I'm no longer with my boyfriend I'm fine. How are you? My pleasure re the comment.

RE: "" BELIEVE THAT LOVE BELIEVE""

Very good thread. It takes both partners to believe in this and to work together. If you work together like this the love can grow stronger.

RE: Gotta love the Irish

Very good I enjoyed the thread it made me laugh

RE: What happened to innocent fun?

I just pick the threads I'm interested in and read through them first then if I have something to say I will say it. If it's any comfort DrBombay I don't always get noticed either but it doesn't worry me cos I enjoy taking part and it's the taking part that counts. I have made friends on this site and for a while I even dated someone from this site. We actually broke up last Sunday so I'm back to being single again and I'm going to have fun joining in the forums. I like all the different view points, if we all had the same views it would be boring.

RE: Men and Women Compared!

For me the top two apply as for the rest!!! I where possible avoid arguments I would much rather sit down and calmly discuss a problem and where an agreement can't be reached compromise. The bathroom lets see now face soap, body wash, bubblebath, body moisturiser, razor, shaving cream, toothbrush and paste 2 towels, flannels. Under the number you state. On my dressing table apart from an assortment of perfume and nail polish, hair brushes, cotton wool, toner, eye cream, day and night moisturisers, lip balm, concealer mug tree with my bracelets on it, hooks with my pendants on them plus the box I keep my hearing aids in at night. Dress sense, I have to wear a uniform for work so I like jeans, casual trousers and casual tops and fleeces in the cold weather and pretty, colourful, skirts, shorts and tops in the warm weather. When I'm doing anything messy it's the old tatty stuff. I like to look good cos by looking good I feel good. And you can look good in casual clothes just as much as smart clothes.

RE: My Friend Mark

Just be there for your friend when he needs someone to talk to even if he wants to scream and be angry just let him know you are there for him. I have a friend who has leukaemia and he knows that no matter what problems he has I'm there for him regardless and that he can contact me any time he's feeling low.If I had been in a relationship with a guy who developed cancer after a split, yes I would be there for him.

RE: What DONT you miss

His constant complaining about his health and if I refused even the slightest thing how I was ruining his life. The violent temper of smashing up furniture but most of all I don't miss the general bullying of my son and myself. Shame it took seeing what it was doing to my son to make me divorce him. In response to mf's what was my part in all this I allowed my fear of him to control me until it reached the point my son had totally lost so much confidence he couldn't accept a compliment but he could accept criticism. I have been divorced 4 years now and my son after counselling is more confident now. Lesson learned. I am very cautious now.

RE: WHEN YOU ARE A GUEST

No offence taken. I hope you're ready for our lovely weather.

RE: WHEN YOU ARE A GUEST

I am so sorry for what you are going through but I agree with those who said that even as a guest you are entitled to your privacy. As for those dressers, it was you who bought them so they're rightfully yours. We all need to vent once in a while and it is so much better than bottling it up. As others have said thank goodness for hospice nurses you all do a wonderful job. Try if possible to find a little me time with everything you're going through you need and deserve it. I hope things work out for you.

RE: friends

Friendship works both ways, if the other person was willing and as others have said depending on the circumstances; yes why not. 3 years ago I answered a contact ad, it never worked with the guy and myself. but he is one of few people I can call a close friend and many a time he has given me sound advice and been on the end of a phone when I've had problems and I've done the same for him. So yes you can be friends if the other person is also willing to be friends.

RE: ghosts

I do believe in ghosts though the ghosts I seem to have the most run ins with are deceased pets who always seem to put in an appearance just before one (I have 14 pets currently used to have more than that) of the living pets die. I guess you have to experience it before you believe in it. With experiences outside of this I have always checked for a rational explanation first before putting it down as a ghost.

RE: why

I personally think it's rude not to at least thank the person for their interest whether it's flowers or a message. I always end a message wishing them luck with their search though because of recent experience I also add the thumbsdown emoticon because I've had a couple that won't take no for an answer.

RE: Some Advice Ladies.......

Cats can be affectionate too even without the food thing. One of my 6 cats is always up for a cuddle whether he's getting fed or not but saying that the youngest one is always pestering for food. I also love dogs and even used to have a Westie now she was lovely. For some reason she used get excited when the toilet flushed, she would chase the cat up the corridor then the cat would chase her down the corridor when we did that.

RE: What qualities do you look for

Being there when I'm feeling low even if it's only a reassuring text or phone call just as I would for him. Also being spontaneous with the kisses and cuddles. Just leaving little notes in places where he knows I'll find them. Those mean more to me than having a guy spend money on me. Bought things get broken, eaten or lost and anybody can buy something. The real love comes from the heart not a shop. That is what I look for in a man.

RE: Black eye

That was great

RE: my first grandchild...Emily Brooke

Congratulations. Enjoy the party.

RE: Dedication

I'm 52 and I feel fitter than I did in my 20s. I do not consider myself old. Those that consider me old I just laugh at them cos one day they will reach the age they consider old, will they still hold that view then? I doubt it. What goes around comes around

RE: New to this please be kind

Welcome robin have fun they're a great bunch here.
