RE: America has talent........what happened to Kevin Skinner?

I though that the opera singer won last week.We are talking about "America's got talent" or was I watching a re run of last year and now having a senior moment.

RE: You Have Been Missed, Welcome Back.........

You'd better! Wisdom has been lacking lately I.M.O.

RE: America has talent........what happened to Kevin Skinner?

Am I missing something here as I'm sure I watched the final last week on Sky!

RE: A question for today's parents...........

Hey Outrageous,that's what Mum's do best,look out for their chicks.I hope your sacrifices are rewarded tenfold,and they succeed.We can ask for nothing more.

RE: A question for today's parents...........

My comment was not meant as a critisism more an observation.

I am a single parent and my daughter attended a secondary school with average grades.She was talented in the Arts and drama more than the academic field,which I did encourage.

At the age of 42 ,she now has her own business with a million pound turnover, property and a great life.All this was achieved by hard work and a certain amount of courage.

My point, as I stated in an earlier post, is that children find their own comfort zone, and some parents push their children to achieve what is possibly beyond some children's scope.J.M.O.

RE: Can you miss somebody who you don't know???

Never fear Jeepers.I'll always be here for you and Tucker.Distance no problem!

RE: A question for today's parents...........

Personally speaking I was always told that "It's not the winning that's important It's the taking part" We cannot win at everything and children need to be taught that coming second does not mean "second best"

There is far too much emphasis put on young children to achieve these days by pushy parents and schools. Yes we all want the best for our children but at what cost.

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

May have to go off line during the move so hope to hear good things about Tucker and Rosie.I hope to move end of October.Have to travel overland through Spain and France as a flight would upset my dog as she is nervous.The Persian cat travels well though.
My animals are important so the horrendous cost will be worth it.Daisy will love the cool of the U.K. as she has a thick coat similar to a german spitz.
Off to bed now as 23:37 here.Bye for now.

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

Back to my roots in Bournemouth U.K. Miss my friends and family and been away too long so off on my last adventure! I want to walk in the rain ,play in the snow,hide in the fog.Who's a silly cow then!

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

I'm a happy bunny.Sold up at last and moving on.

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

Hi Jeepers how's the boy?

Here in Spain everyone says Good morning/afternoon/evening in passing whether they know you or not. Took me by suprise until I got used the the custom and I actually find it quite charming.

RE: is it just me?

Absolutely agree ,was just referring to some of the interesting threads that have been raised by past members,but end up soured by animosity.Such a shame.

RE: is it just me?

Glad to hear the good news re your Mother.What a marvellous age.

I miss the mix at times as the threads were thought provoking along with the members!

RE: just found out

God bless the darling lady and keep her safe.

RE: When I die .......

Hi Robert That's the best news I've heard from you in a long time. Yesterday is history ,tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift.

Enjoy your new found happiness

RE: avecaim: wasn'it a SHE till some days ago????

Profile missing!

RE: At long last I have thought of something to post !!

My recent dreams have been so predictable of my present circumstances as to be uncanny.I am therefore of the conclusion that what you think about before sleep CAN manifest itself into your dreams.

I have learned a lot from them and am able to make positive and sensible decisions about my life because of them.J.M.O.

RE: Love is found on CS!

Don't you just love happy endings.

My very best to you both and a long and happy future together.

RE: bet none of you can tell us who or what really shaped you into being the person you are today & why

Hi Gilly,

I shaped myself from a rocky start with divorced parents at the tender age of 4.Growing up between 2 sets of parents of whom neither were particularly interested in my welfare taught me a lot.All the mistakes I made along the way were giant learning curves for me.

As I now approach old age I am older,wiser and calmer.I look forward not back as that is where my future lies.On another adventure again.

RE: I eat babies.

Do you remove the wrappers first?

RE: HAPPY BIRTHDAY DRU!!!!

Hi Dru

Happy Birthday to you. Hope this year brings you everything you wish for.

RE: golf

I guess that one's for Big_John.

RE: i bet you can't name 3 things that you could have been really good at given the right opportunities?

Acting singing and cooking.No money to go to Drama classes or singing unfortunately.In my day you just had to get a job and bring in an income.Far more opportunities for young people now.

Still good at singing and I'm a great cook.

RE: PRAYERS FOR THOSE IN DANGEROUS PLACES

The same goes for the U.K. John.Too many people forget too easily just how many young lives are being lost, and also how many families lives are destroyed by the loss of a loved one.

God bless all those who are serving in the Armed Forces.

RE: i bet none of you care about the way i was viciously attacked on the australian forums yesterday ?

Come one come all! Better make it a biggun!
