Wake up Maggie and Try Just A Little Bit Harder By The time I get To Phoenix I'll need to Know The Way To San Jose then go Down Mexico Way and visit The Dew Drop Inn because I'm so Lonesome I Could Cry since I noticed Mr. Tambourine Man chasing Me And You And A Dog Named Boo down to The Heartbreak Hotel to get a Pina Colada.
At my time of life I can't afford to be patient....... I tend to be assertive but when I can't get something I want done immediately I do something else so as not to get annoyed.
Today I was running out of cash so I went to the bank.
There was a queue of about six people. That might not seem much but ONE PERSON here can take as long as 40 freaking minutes with the cashier.... don't ask we what they are doing but it always seems to involve a telephone call and the scrutinising of a cheque as though it was some alien object beamed down from Mars and VERY suspicious.
So, what did I do?
I had enough money on me for a glass of wine so I went back and drank one.
Then I went back to the bank - still a queue!
No worries - I waited until I had to go into the main town here to buy my mum a box of those chocolate thingies for her birthday tomorrow. In Victoria, the main town, they have a new-fangled thingy called a cash-point machine.
Look at it as the glass being half-full. Do you want to become interested in someone because they only post their best "light" when in fact they are really a boozing, schmoozing, two-timing drunkard with filthy habits? At least the ones who post photos that make them look like a slob, etc... can be quickly weeded out. Count your blessings. There are quite a few very nice photos on this club. Look at them. Forget the cruds.
Patience is most definitely NOT one of my virtues. I fully admit this. Hate (yes, hate) waiting for anything or anybody. Something to think about, though: have you ever noticed that if it a person you have to wait for, there is an established pattern of this? Now I think that is deliberate, downright manipulative. Especially if that person knows you are needing/counting on them. In this case, I believe being impatient is RIGHTEOUS. It's always the same with them, and if you dare to call them on it, they make 'The Excorist' look like 'The Good Ship Lollipop', if you get my drift. Yup, somebody pissed in my cherrios with this control/manipulation. You bet I'm not patient.
Right. I never understand the negativity, especially when it is directed at a specific person. So someone doesn't agree, or, don't like or agree with the thread. Then split. I don't get it. This whole contraption is supposed to be inviting, educational, if that's the idea, humorous, leisurly, etcetera. Also, isn't Life just a bit short to waste with crappola? I'll end this soapbox with a quote, "what other people say and do is a reflection of them, not of you".
Best response so far. I do think that more and more people are becoming bold enough to be truthful-to the point of being blunt. Rather this than being given a mixed message or the insult of leading someone on.
Great post. I live in a small town (had lived for years in a cosmopolitan area) so it's even more difficult. Try to look at it this way: you don't want to be damaged by someone. God doesn't want to see you get hurt. A little bit of rain on dirt makes the whole darn field muddy. And so on. I am so impatient, myself. I struggled for so long with my love/passion, and now that I feel so ready to love and be wanted, desired, loved, cherished, all those beautiful things, it is elusive. Funny, when I resisted what were probably good matches for me, back in the day, there were enough of them for me to have made a good partner. Now that I really, really want to, it is so elusive. Life! Hanging in there, though, and thanking God for keeping me out of harm's way, even though loneliness for a lover persists. (although I am not a "lonely" type--very happy when I am alone much of the time. Still, I need a hunky warm body next to mine. I'd rather not get stuck with a turd, though. Kapiche?
I have a theory about this, especially for the times we are living in now. Here goes: the kids have already established habits, how they feel about the world, and how they react to situations. Parenting them, for a male role model, is going to be a daunting, exhausting task. (Men who enter womens lives who have children become a parenting factor, at least, whether they want it that way or not). Also, with the way things are going, that man who is new to the already established family is in a precarious position of being made to feel "wrong" if one or more of the little boogers decide they don't like him. Happens ALL THE TIME.
Hey, did anyone tell you that you look like Hugh Laurie from "House"? Sure seems like it to me. O.K., now I'll participate in the post. A month of looking is not long at all. Just a flash, buddy. There are so many people out there, it's a wonder more don't fall in love and marry, and then turn around in a short time and find the real one. (There's a movie about that, a recent remake--can't remember. It's presented as a comedy, but I'm sure the jilted bride didn't think so! Choose carefully. If you lie down with dogs, you'll get up with fleas.
Michael, you seem to be angry at the other writers. That is why you are getting responses that may appear defensive. The others have a right to give the situation an overview. Heck, you said you wanted to hear what we had to say, feel, etc... I am believing the best of you, but you do sound unkind. Perhaps you do not mean to. Everyone has something to say, Michael. Please be nice. (I'm not saying you're not, it just does sound like it. be sweet to the ladies, sir. that's what we're supposed to do.
"you get a line, and I'll get a pole, HONEY, you get a line, and I'll get a pole, BABE you get a line and I'll get a pole, we'll go on down to the crawdaddy hole, Oh Honey, Oh Sugarbaby, Mine!"
thought you'd like some comic relief--crawdaddy holes in FL?
You cannot be disorderly in your own home. You can't yell, scream at, or otherwise harass someone just because they are in your home.Your behavior has to be orderly, as such, EVEN IN YOUR OWN HOME. I know many of you don't agree, or don't like the idea of this, but mark my word--conduct even inside your own home is actionable if deemed inappropriate. By the same token, consider this: the police can search your vehicle. In and out. Without a warrant. Have you committed a crime? Nope. Just driving along, doo da doo da doo....putt putt putt....
