to cut to the chase--we were talking about someone who wasn't being kind to particular member(s), someone pointed out we couldn't use names, etc... another person stated that particular member had not, in fact, been banned, etc... just want to know what happened to our thread............
Quite, dear. I have never believed that it could be "the last time". Once your companion has left you for another person, even temporarily, it's probably going to be that way. There does exist "open marriage', which some couples swear is a wonderful and satisfying way to live--(each person can have a gf/bf) and perhaps this can really happen. I believe that MOST people would be very, very sad if the person they are physically close to and genuinely love went to bed with someone else. We all have hearts and they break. Even though my situation is different than described here, if I had someone I really loved and he went with another, it would bust my heart and I wouldn't be "OK" with it. Probably it would be over.
Some of us have this--you are reading body language very astutely. Thank God for it. A few times in my life I've been wrong about a person's personality/motives, etc..., but for the most part, like you, I can smell a rat right off.
Hi Stressfree--I just wanted to add something, I hope it is relevant enough for this prattling. Freud was of course a great pioneer in behavioral sciences, extending even to the paranormal. Many of his theories have been discarded as speculative (but that is the very nature of psychology, is it not? I had several college professors come right out and say that these sciences are largely just one man's opinion over another. And, as we all know, this field is constantly mapped, researched, changed and re-valued). Given THAT, the point I want to make is that Freud's findings and theories are currently being re-visited, and actually respected and used in behavioral sciences--once again. "Nothing new under the sun", as it is said. thanx for the interesting post-----
Love it! Did you know that "raise hell" actually has an ancient beginning? Yup, sure does. According to mythology, the lord of the underworld, (the devil) has a wife. She is allowed to break out once a year and come up here with us. (Spring). I think her name is Persephone, but may be wrong. So once a year the devil's wife comes to earth and raises hell. (Sounds like a relative of mine...ha ha)
Whoever made the date in the first place should call for the next date. (I always think it's extra nice if the person who was asked is the one to call, but it is considered better manners the other way around).
"there's a port, on a western bay, and it serves a hundred ships a day, and lonely sailors, pass the time away, and talk about their homes"....(well, sort of)! how ya doin', Jeepers? I live in a small logging/fishing town right on the coast, take walks along the quay, read dusty old poetry books in funky little bookshops on Main Street, do a little gardening, what can I tell ya?
you know, first it was about guys packages, now you're adding some advice here? Okiedokie, man. (I hope you find a guy who will be really, really understanding. Get off your game playing jag, Buster.
I always think it's a good idea to observe how (assuming the person is a man, for right now) he: 1..treats pets/animals. Is he genuinely kind? Pets responsive? (you can't fool a dog...) 2. Talks to waiters, busboys, skycaps, porters, friends? This says a lot. 3. Attentive. Does he appear bored or anxious for it to be his turn to talk? Methodology--does he have to be "right", have the "last word"? 4. Complaining? Excessive explaining? ("I'm sorry" and "thank you" CAN be overdone). 5. Is he knowledgeable about the world around him, especially locally? This speaks volumes. 6. Get upset quickly or often? (avoid. nothing else matters if this is the case).
If I were you I would get thank the powers that be for giving you this intuition--our red flags are there for a reason. If you have to "try" to be into somebody, well, what can I tell you. I know what it's like to have that immediate euphoric feeling of connecting with the other person. As for me, I just don't want to settle for less. "Don't warm up the cabin by burning the furniture" is one good saying that demonstrates this. Find that guy who DOES light the fire in your heart. Go weak at the knees. Don't settle for second best.
thank you. It is quite extensive; many of the "sites" are not obtainable from where I'm at (just aren't) but still lots and lots of useful information. Here's what I'm trying to get across, or will be trying to get across: IT'S NOT ABOUT SMOKING!! Get it? It's about creating a situation that makes people lawbreakers who AREN'T! Honestly, if there's one thing I want everyone to know, it's that! How many of you understand this? Criminalizing a United States citizen for smoking a cigarette outdoors is absolutely, positively in direct conflict with our ideals here. Certainly any reasonably educated person knows there are far more toxins in the outside air than a few people smoking a cigarette! It is NOT about smoking!!!
It's hard to narrow it down to just one thing being changed. I have noticed quite a few comments regarding financial inequities--and that is something that strikes a nerve because I worked extremely hard and many, many long hours for a fraction of what some executives, etc.. do. All the expensive bail-outs and so on, oh, don't get me started. I think you all get what I mean. In my lifetime, just in my close circle of community, this is what I observed: lady firefighter written up for not being able to perform all the tasks of the job performance. Finally terminated--with approximately 5 1/2 years pay compensation. Next--college administrator terminated for misappropriation of funds/poor job performance--2 .75 years pay compensation. Oh-I get it--the punishment for not doing your job is to get paid for not doing your job! SWEET!
Hi--just watched it last night. Yes, very good, Kevin C. is one of my faves. Interesting story line, kind of the "blood, bullets, and boogery genre, but guess that's the kind that sells. I find it difficult to find "good" movies, I'm fairly picky. Thanx for not tipping the story line!
Good morning everybody. I need some assistance ASAP--we have a proposal in town to ban cigarette smoking in public parks. Though I no longer smoke (2 months + now), I am against such laws and statutes, as I feel they go too far. This is not an attempt to argue the point; I simply need some help in finding out if there have been any towns, cities in recent times that actually REJECTED such a proposal, so I can give a solid, opposing view. Please help if you can--(I'm not very savvy on finding out these kinds of things, that's why I need your help.)
Look at what everybody else calls you! I thought I was taking it easy on you! OK. You're not really a jerk. In fact,I kinda sorta like you. No, I really, really, really like you. IN FACT,......
And Robert--- "Truth" is a companion only to its own time. (remember--in the Dark Ages the world was flat. Period. If you disagreed you were drawn and quartered. Or thrown into boiling oil. Or hung upside down. So...as far as you were concerned--OK! OK! the earth IS flat!!!!!) knowwhadisay,ray? knowwhadimeanjellybean?
Just wanted my CS friends to know how MUCH some of us can really, really love. What a shame, I think, sometimes, that I don't have anyone to give all this love energy I have with. (sigh)
