RE: Who amongst you all is certain about anything?

Had to think about this one. If I had to say ONE thing is certain, it's this: you can't go back. Can't undo what is already done. "There are more grains of sand in the desert than there are words of apology for a cruel comment" and that sort of thing.

RE: Is it fair to auto delete anyone from Thailand and other dodgy places?

Col--sometimes it is best to keep some thoughts to ourselves. I have a couple of hang-ups based on experience which would be politically incorrect in many people's eyes. If you are uncomfortable with anyone (and yes, that can be based on where they live) then it is your preogative - just be discrete, you know. (There is a geographical area I will neither accept or mail anything to, so I get it. Pssst and Shhhh...don't tell on me)...

RE: When

I am really getting a lot out of this thread. My compassionate side wants to forgive, and we all know how delicate human feelings are. Everyone deserves a chance, a break. It does change this playing field when fidelity is factored in. Not a bible thumper, but remember Joseph The Worker was in a position of trusting Mary, when physical evidence seemed to not be in her favor. Still, I fully understand not being able to trust someone you love after he/she sleeps with somebody else. It's pretty much a hard slap, and understandably unforgettable. We are not Saints, though. In short, I'm reluctant to sound wishy-washy, but if you truly feel you can love him/her enough to forgive it, then do so. If you can't you can't. It doesn't make the person who was injured "wrong" either way.

RE: Do you have favorite posters?

Polarbutterfly: I got it now. (I'm such a Gomer! )




thanx for saying I spice up the pot. Made me happy. Contented. Tickled. and so on and so on and scooby dooby doo.....

RE: Do you have favorite posters?

Because you posted without giving a reference to: "I definitely have favorites, YOU". (it was more or less a joke,,,)

RE: here i am again, throw me a rope!!!

My responses to guys are sometimes not well received, hope you don't see it that way. Read your profile-I think it's great and I don't believe you'll have any trouble at all finding a nice lady. Really mean that. People are looking for a more relaxed way of life now, and building cabins in Montana sounds like a dream many would have. You're a fortunate man. Best

Moi?

RE: Do you have favorite posters?

yes, and yes. Sure I have faves--I like the guys and gals from Ireland, Scotland, and the guys from New Zealand and Australia. Didn't like a man from N.Z. very much at all, now I really like him a lot. That's how it works, girls.

RE: frustrated

Do you have an auto, John? Car-newspaper delivery usually pays good enough, almost always a route open. Good side of it--no one bugs you, get to work independently. Tips. Short work day. Gas reimbursement, or additional allowance. Bad stuff: Quite early, often 230 or 300 to 530 or 700. Low pay. Often 7 days a week. Something to think about. Parts-Puller-Auto Wrecking. They can't keep anyone. Usually full time about 10.00 or 11.00 an hour. No one seems to want this job. Good part--boss stays in his office. Hates the "pit". Bad part-grimy, dirty, nasty work. Place is always disorganized, a nightmare of a mess.

RE: frustrated

Try not to let it get you down. The unemployment here is near 20%. Many folks were doing quite well a year or so ago, now on foodstamps and in free grocery centers. Fast forward to you, John. What can you do? How much are you worth per hour or salary? When there is an opening you are applying for, do your homework. Find out as much as you can about the place, what they do. Spiff up. Kiss butt without looking like you're kissing butt. (everyone has to one way or another, period.)Write back. I can help with ideas.

RE: When

I worked for many years with people who had tons of problems. To err is human. We all have crap we ain't proud of--no argument there. Anyone who says they have no regrets is a liar. Having said that, I would like to believe that a person can change from 'bad' to 'good', and I'm sure many do. My vote, in this case, would be to tell you "Yes"........slowly, dear. And one more very, very important thing: The answer is a sweet, loving, caring "Yes". It is also the Last "Yes". Fair is fair.

RE: Is anyone getting tired of polls ...or is it just me?

RE: is it just me?

Have to agree there. I admit that I'm fairly stalwart in my thinking (pretty opinionated) but when I've been given some more info on this (CS forums) I have actually changed my mind about a thing or two. It is good to get different points of view, and it is strangely refreshing to discover that we can still learn to think differently about issues if and when we get new ideas from others.

RE: Manors, do people still practice being polite anymore ?

I gotta tell ya, Jeepers, you know how to brighten up the day for us. Thanks --you're one cool customer. You know, you can write, if you like.

RE: is it just me?

It's because I'm a sweetheart and I brought out the best in you:: (uh, right, huh?)

RE: Manors, do people still practice being polite anymore ?

Good afternoon, Jeepers. Real glad to see you! Ever watch Animal Planet? See the meercats? They live in a very structured colony, every cat has a little job to do. They'll corner a pushy, cantankerous "cat" until he lightens up. Those rude meercats! (but they get their point across).

RE: Manors, do people still practice being polite anymore ?

Sometimes it is really, really hard to be courteous with someone who is being rude. There is a trend in society, even in close families, to either consciously or subconsciously use emotional blackmail to get the other person to react so that they will look bad. Happens all the time. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU ARE RIGHT, if you respond to rudeness with rudeness people will only notice YOU being rude. Not worth it. It's so hard to avoid this anymore. I guess I would say to be polite, no matter what, or if you can't, walk away then. If you are rude, however righteous, you will be the "bad" guy. Stinks to high heaven, but it's true.

RE: Manors, do people still practice being polite anymore ?

"Good manners are always in fashion"

RE: Mail Me!

I agree. You're an angel. What a nice smile you got, too.

RE: Mail Me!

Oh Robe-air!

RE: The Person Below Me....

I'm still waiting for your new way to cook chicken. Orange cappuccino with cream makes a balanced breakfast, by the way! Add sugar to get your carb.

RE: Is anyone getting tired of polls ...or is it just me?

I guess I would say if you're tired of them then don't go there. Some are cool, some are kinda corny. Pick one you like.

RE: The Person Below Me....

"Hi honey, do you know how much I love you"? I swear that's what they say!

RE: The Person Below Me....

I just addressed this in another forum. It's a fair question. I'm afraid to. You would understand if you lived here. I'm 5'7'', beach-tan, weigh about 180 but it doesn't look bad on me, have chestnut-reddish hair, a beard with a little snow speckled in it. Brushy but not heavy eyebrows. Cute eyes, I'm told. Nice candle-white teeth, all there, crowsfeet on eyes, one eye slighly droops at times, Celtic nose, and have to look for underwear that has a big enough sling. So there.

RE: The Person Below Me....

The person below me thinks I'm THE CAT'S PAJAMAS! (for the uninformed that means something really good!)

RE: Best compliments you ever received

A few years ago I was feeling really depressed about friendships, especially people who didn't seem to like me or want to get to know me. A true blue pal from my childhood listened with a lot of care in her heart, and then said, "R, I can't believe anyone wouldn't WANT to be your friend". That is perhaps the nicest compliment I've ever received.

RE: role reversal...?.....

I don't believe I've EVER flirted with ANYONE in my WHOLE life...well, there was that time in California, and then maybe a few times in Seattle, and of course those four times in.....
