RE: OMG! He PROPOSED

I am happy it is working out for you, Sheila. My prayers are for you. Good to read the feelings you two have for each other are reciprocated.

RE: Why do men become smarter

Just trying to get rid of some of this stress from taking the college courses. I really appreciate these jokes. How you been doing, Johnny?

RE: Why do men become smarter

Loved reading it. Thanks for sharing.

RE: Scariest....Funniest....and Sadest

I am a Vincent Price fan. Monty Python was cool. He is still on PBS. The line in Love Story by Ali McGraw about loves never means having to say your sorry I still disagree with.

Scariest...Anything with Freddy Kreugar in it.
Funniest...Monthy Python films
Tear Jerker...Jim Thorpe's life story. He was robbed of the gold medals. Just my opinion.

RE: answering machine at a mental hospital

Uh oh. I am going to have a whopping phone bill this month.

RE: answering machine at a mental hospital

I want to press all the buttons. I like playing with the buttons.

RE: answering machine at a mental hospital

Ok. I am not pressing any numbers, lol. I just found this thread, lol.

RE: Doesn't Anyone Else Write/Read Poetry?

I love to read and write poetry. My poetry is for therapy or atleast that was what I intended it for. This other site that I frequent has a lot of up and coming poets. It is great to reply back and forth to the different poets there. I am glad you enjoy poetry, Bobby.

RE: I havent told you latey

I am glad you write poetry, Laurie. It is always great to read one of your poems because I know they come from the heart.

RE: A question for the men

It is a great book to read. You are doing great and probably better than you thought. It is from chapter 20 on page 317. I like how the book gives clear and no nonsense information. Some of the words are huge so I like how it explains. It isn't a periodical desk reference by no means but it is good for the lay person because it is written at an eighth grade level.

RE: Back on The market........

Glad you realized that the doors swings both ways and you came back, maggs. Sorry you had to go through that. God, that must have been devistating. Things like that can make one be even more cautious.

RE: Clocks.......

I liked that one. Thanks for sharing. I was just listening to Bush this morning on the radio. He said a vote for the Democrats was a vote for taxes. That makes sense if the Democrats win because the money for the war is going to have to come from somewheres. I wondering how the war is going to be paid for if the taxes are not raised.

RE: Ok Guys And Girls From CS ... The Moment Has Come For Me To Leave

Have a nice trip. See ya next fall. I hope you have a good time. Don't forget your toothbrush.

RE: A question for the men

This goes along with one of the chapters I am studying on Mental Health for tomorrow. According to the book, "Nursing Assistant Care" by Susan Alvare, Diana Dugan and Jetta Fuzy published by Hartmann Publishing, Inc. there are seven signs of Mental Health.

1. Get along with others.
2. Adapt to change.
3. Care for self and others.
4. Give and accept love.
5. Deal with situations that cause stress, disappointment, and frustration.
6. Take responsibility for decisions, feelings, and actions.
7. Control and meet desires and impulses appropriately.

So far I am not good at any of the seven. I think I can handle the first two, sometimes, lol.

Thanks, Babs. I was doing my homework and it just came to me. Atleast it is only two chapters a night of homework with the two tests tomorrow instead of the four chapters of homework with the four tests tomorrow. I hope I can retain all they are trying to cram into my brain in 3 weeks, lol. CPR test Thursday and these stethoscope and sphyghmanometer. I just want to strangle myself with them and get it over with, lol. I think I hurt my brain, lol. My brain isn't used to all this information. System overload. Does not compute. System meltdown.

RE: Hello All New Here

Have a great time. Get to know others and in return get to know yourself better. Let the forum help you because you may get to enjoy the forums for the friendships that you can make. Friendships and chatting can really help you to unwind and be yourself. I have had help here to deal with life on the outside and vice-versa. I hope you enjoy your trip into the virtual world which can be like the real world where not everything is like what it may seem. Good luck.

Love Beyond The Grave
by RainbowSlider

I look at our picture and see us smile.
We had our life and it lasted a while.
My arm around you holding you tight.
Memories of your body with me at night.

I try so hard to not live in the past.
But still our love endeavors to last.
I can't help but smiling see you there.
A time of love and being without care.

You made me happy for you understood.
I know you would be here if you could.
It was never like you'd just to go away.
I looked at our picture and smiled today.

It doesn't hurt so bad that you are gone.
I know that you are in the great beyond.
I can accept your passing circumstance.
For a moment I could remember our romance.

It has taken so long to see the picture of life.
I could see only death but now see my wife.
You are a cherish memory that stays new.
A toast to us and all that we went through.

RE: is it wrong to make a woman blush

I don't think it is wrong to make a woman blush. Some women have to buy blush. I think making them blush helps them to save money.

RE: For the guys.

Thats a good point. If you have had a bad relationship before you surely wouldn't want to go through a bad experience, again. I can remember after my divorce I had the wanting to get back into a relationship even though I just got out of one. I had figured that she was the problem but later had to admit that I was part of the problem, too. It takes a while to get untangled from being in a relationship. Even if you can't stand them they still have an affect on you long after they have gone or you have gone. There has to be a healing process either in a divorce or a death. I married the same person twice thinking the relationship could be saved. I feel now that some people aren't just meant for other people and has nothing to do with if they were both nice or not. Some friendships are just meant to be friendships and nothing more.

RE: For the guys.

It could be from listing what they don't want that they have figured out what they do want. I can see where it can be helpful to know what you do and don't want. I am not thrilled by doing dishes, laundry and housekeeping so I can relate on that. I have never met any perfect people but some who thought they were. I wouldn't want a mommy. I think it is good to know who you are. I can making that trip of finding who I am. It led me to here. Maybe by being that selective they are weeding out many or that was their intention. Good thread, Paws.

RE: A little story...

I am glad the gnome got to experience nature. I have never met a gnome but from reading the song they would be ok in my book. So would you date a gnome?

RE: Hi all

Hi, Roxanne. Welcome to the forums.

RE: A perplexing conundrum...

Thanks. I forgot I had popcorn. Do you like cheese and garlic in your popcorn?

RE: Is it just me??

I agree with the cycles, mud slinging politics and Xmas thing getting closer. I am glad Kat you and others are hanging in there. I isolate in reality. I don't need to isolate in virtual reality, too. I like the words of encouragement. I have learned a lot in here. Like James said this place is a great place for poetry. Downright mean we really don't need. Negatism promotes negatism. I think the forums is still a great place to hang out. Great thread, kat. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Roy

RE: could some one please

I think they enjoy slinging mud. Hopefully the best mudslinger will win.

RE: Some may relate to this thread.

That is so true, Mike. One does have to move on. With me it is growing up and knowing since I am alone that if I don't do it that it doesn't get done. Since my memory was never that good I write a lot of stuff on the calendar. I have to fight the illogic of thinking I have to have someone to complete me or to complete someone else. I do have to socially interact with other people, though. My meetings cover that and so does my job, now. Interacting with people as people has helped instead of seeing them as objects to be avoided at all cost. Letting go of the past and trying to stay in the here and now helps me to move on. I have grieved it like squeezing the water out of wet towel. I don't think there are any more tears to cry but I might be wrong. I have done my best to come to terms with it. We can unconsciously choose to be lonely, I think. I am happy, today.

Graphical User Interface
by RainbowSlider

Oh, my precious little G.U.I.
I love the way you do me.
You are my blessed computer.
And nothing is as it used to.

Home, home on the Internet.
Where I seldom do fret.
You are nicer than D.O.S.
And you never are my boss.

I couldn't do without my keypad.
It would make me, oh, so sad.
My monitor knows me well.
And it never squeals or tells.

Your memory is better than mine.
You put words on every line.
My speakers, they talk to me.
And my microphone sets me free.

I just admire my perfect desktop.
The icons there never do hop.
Oh, my precious little G.U.I.
I love the way you do me.

That is so awesome. I am so happy you are getting along with yourself.

The Joy Of Tears
by RainbowSlider

That one can be felt human and not a mere rock.
To be part of nature not a machine with a clock.
Soaring through the wind on wings stretched out.
Gliding like the eagle with the feathers all about.
With no walls within or without but just flesh.
High on a mountaintop feeling the refresh.
For one moment seeing the world as it is.
No reason or rhyme but just a new kiss.
The hug of life and its wonderful embrace.
Coldness of wind and frost on the face.
A miracle of life and something to behold.
Looking far below as all of the world unfolds.
The wonder of life and just being born.
A new existence in a shell that was torn.
Contemplating all that was before and now.
Everything so different from here somehow.
Time is never wasted in all the long years.
I wake from the death; The joy of tears.
