Hi Ave....do you mean listen to him talk about how she didn't understand him, how she did this, how she did that.
I think the first meeting should be positive thoughts such as music and movies that you like, where you have traveled, your job, things that get your interest. The majority of men I have met start to talk about themselves and never shut up.
I saw PSYCHO when I was 18 and when I went home from the date, the bathroom door was closed and I didn't want to go in there. I cried and forced myself to open the door. I was absolutely scared to death.
I watch a lot of National Geographic programs and when you see what went into making this event possible, you do learn to appreciate the risk that was taken.
It was more then men jumping up and down, it was a landmark event.
And when we land on Mars, it will be another landmark event. All of you youngins will probably get to see that, but I'll have been cremated and considered dust in the wind.
Yes, I was 27 and a mother of a 4 year old little girl and had just separated from my husband.
Truth is, I didn't watch it because it was a history making event. I watched it because of all the press about it.
When I was young, I had no interest at all in anything but raising my daughter and dating. I never watched the news or read the newspaper. I didn't even watch news on the TV.
I said I wondered if the flag was still there because I thought it may have fallen down and blown away but that was stupid of me because there isn't any wind on the moon.
Just this past weekend I told my daughter that I wasn't going to do the expense of a Codicil on my Will and that I made the decision to be cremated and I want my ashes to be scattered at a particular beach in New Jersey.
Within the past few months I made the decision to be cremated. It wasn't easy because all of my immediate family, and my husband are buried in the ground, so I am used to that kind of thinking.
My daughter doesn't believe in being attached to a gravesite so to make it easier for her, so she wouldn't have guilts if she didn't go to my grave, I decided to be cremated.
I just don't like the idea of spending a lot of money on a casket and then burning it up Might just as well put me in a cheap pine box and burn that but I guess there has to be a casket if I'm in a funeral home.
I'm sorry HJ but "live for today" doesn't make sense.
I'm not attacking you but I think that attitude is why the economy is in the mess we are in. Everybody wanted immediate gratification, buy, buy, buy, charge it, charge it, charge it.
Yes, they do collect unemployment in the U.S. but it doesn't even come close to what his paycheck was. Why would a person spend money on a date when he needs it to pay other responsibilities. He might have a healthy savings account, but if he was saving for the future, rather then a rainy day, I don't think he should go into his savings just for a date. I think he/she should cut back on expenditures until he gets a job.
Good morning Dru. I am very much in agreement with you. In fact, to prove a point, I'll let the cat out of the bag. I don't think you will mind. You and I talk on the phone and send email. We care about each other. Yet we are very, very different. We are like night and day. Doesn't matter to me because I care about your well-being, not about the ticks and tacks that make you who you are. We disagree sometimes to a point that I get annoyed yet you keep your cool. We have different beliefs when it comes to a higher power. We are just two different people, yet we are people that always have a shoulder for each other when in need. Neither one of us would expect the other to change because we accept each other for who we are.
Amute person goes into a shop and wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing his teeth he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done. Next, a blind man comes into the shop who wants to buy a pair of sunglasses; how does HE indicate what he wants?
He just has to open his mouth and ask... It's really very simple.
There is someone in my life who wants me to change almost everything about myself. She is right about some of her suggestions but on the whole, I am who I am. I'm not going to change to please someone who doesn't approve of who I am. However, I am working on changing my attitude about things that happened to me in the past. Still, those events in my life had an affect on who I am today. You don't change who you are like you change your underwear.......it is a timely process.
You can't teach an 'ol dog new tricks. Do you think that is true? Suppose the old dog is comfortable with who they are. The dog is in a rut. It just goes from day to day without complications. It doesn't have a need to please everyone....and why should it.
