There have been artists who made one song that was great and then just quit. Why do you think they quit with just the one? Can you think of any? I will start it off with "Afternoon Delight" which was a 1976 hit song by the Starland Vocal Band.
I think this thread is funny since my ancestors came from London, England. Our family line just likes to fight. We got divided in the revolutionary war and civil war in America and divided in the civil war in England. Hell, our family was feuding in Alabama when I was growing up.
I would be proud of the girls, too. They managed on their own which does teach them responsibility and they did the right thing by no accepting a ride from a stranger. I think it would give me a good feeling to know that you can trust them to do the right thing even though an easier way was offered. I think the good samaritan that offered the help must not have had to raise girls before and that the answer you gave him hopefully awakens him to the damage that he could of done to them by offering them a ride. I am not saying that he is bad but I think it would be goof for him to go back and read the story of Little Red Riding Hood or Hansel and Grettle. A child can be too trusting and there are real dangers out there. I am just glad your two girls are ok. I was glad I could be a school bus driver for two years to take my kids to school with me. You are a good mom.
So would you date Gwyneth Paltrow? Except for reading this thread I didn't even know about her. I loved the Dixie Chicks especially their song, "Thats your trouble". In all this bashing I never read anything about Ogres. Ogres love to bash things.
I got to see the Eifel Tower when dad was stationed in Frankfurt, Germany where I was born. I still think it would make a great amateur radio antenna tower, lol.
I was a PFC in the Army National Guard. My dad served in Korea and Viet Nam. My grandma and me celebrated my dad's retirement by cutting all his fatigues into squares and made quilts out of them. Talk about some ugly od green quilts, lol. They sure were warm though, lol.
It is good to have a positive view of life or otherwise all you can see is the negative. If I don't focus on the positive in learning than I will focus on the negative and not really learn a thing. I like Luma's view. Life is what happens when you are busy doing other things.
I really haven't that many physical intimate relationships. When I first got on the forums the complaint from a lot of women was the "I love you" could be considered empty. I was also told that relationships should start off as friendships. Friendships could turn into love relationships over time. I have found that like many women said early on in the forums that it does take time to get to know someone and for them to get to know you. It can take quite a lot just to keep a friendship going. I never really had any friends growing up because we moved so much. Even though this is just a virtual world on the forum the virtual friends I have made here are closer to me than the non-existant friends that I didn't have. With my first two marriages we really didn't know each other very long and we got married. After being married to that lady for four years the first time and thirteen years the second time I really still don't know her and we had two kids together. With my third marriage we talked online for about a year until she said, "Hey, come up to Kentucky and get me if you want me". A week later we were married. We wanted each other and within a month we were married for six and a half years.
I would have to stop dredging up the past before I was even to think of marrying, again. I am not even ready for a relationship, yet because of still dealing with issues from the past. Maybe one day I will be able to overcome some of these issues but I think it will take a while, yet, longer. I wouldn't want to take that baggage into a new relationship so I am really enjoying friendships. I am encouraged that so many are ready. I think that is wonderful.
It would have to be my deceased wife. We did so many things together and she was such a big part of my life. This is my second Christmas without her and this one seems to be easier than last Christmas.
Kevin, that is a very touching song and a very touching thing you have been through. The loss of someone who is close to you in your life can be traumatic. At the nursing home I work at we lose some due to different reasons. You have made an affect on her quality of life. When one loses someone to death the support of others can be beneficial. I can smell the cancer in the rooms with cancer residents. You have made her passing a little more endurable.
So true. A committment between two can become a committment between many. I remember having to check the marriage license again one day just see how people I had become married to. Did I say I do to just one person or many? Was there small type that I did not read? Was there a message that was implied but not worded? Since then I have tried to read the small print and see if there are hidden messages I was not aware of before.
How come there are no falcons in Malta?
I really liked the "Der Kommisar".
