RE: Do you believe in Astrology?

I do think that it has a place in the modern world.Many will mock what they refuse to believe in.A bit like religion really you are either a believer or you aren't.

Will pass on the charletons of the modern world who claim to know the future and charge you a fortune for you to find out!

I rarely discuss this as it is such a controversial subject.

RE: Girls are closer to dad than mon

Hi Jac Still stuck in the valleys then. People should visit Wales occasionally just to see how beautiful and peaceful it is.

As for your family I know that your grandaughter will be raise with love,care and values, with or without input from her Father.

RE: At your age you should take what you can get?

Hi DF Where've you been? I missed you around here lately.

In answer to your thread question,for me personally I would never accept anyone in my life that I was not "connecting" to on all levels.

I have been on my own for the past 11 years by choice.Having reconnected with the love of my life in 1999 and thinking that I was "in love" I made a huge mistake.The only people that possibly got hurt were the 3 children he now had.

We formed a great attachment to each other and they, funnily enough, were very protective of me.I realised after 9 months that sometimes you cannot rekindle the past and we parted company.

Nowadays I have a great life with friends and family,my home and my pets.This is my choice and I am happy and contented with my lot so to speak.

I enjoy male company[ expecting a visit from an old friend this weekend!] but as for long term,I prefer to stay as I am.

Nice to see you.

She's gone!

RE: Are we becoming so brutally selfish that we forget how important it's to give and share?

Well said and thank you.Most men seem to agree with the thread author.People can and do survive alone,sometimes by choice. Nothing wrong with them at all.

I personally would hate to be thought as a "needy" person.

RE: I am a CS Antique ..............are you?

Oh Conrad such memories of Summer and her young man too. We did have some good laughs then.Wonder where they are now and if Rusty's Mum is still going strong

RE: I am a CS Antique ..............are you?

Ah the good old days Conrad Remember well some of the posters from those days.

Nothing really changes though,still the same cat fights,though the political theads didn't seem to have the "nuts" that are about today

RE: I am a CS Antique ..............are you?

I remember you from way back on CS.You were the same then as you are now,a great guy.

RE: I am a CS Antique ..............are you?

You're just a novice at 50 Larry More Retro than Art Nouveau.

As for me on and off over 5 years.This is my third visit,but now just for the Forums and friends.

RE: What If It Was Not Yours?

Woops ,seems she already has!

RE: What If It Was Not Yours?

Unless she has had a DNA test already to establish paternity how does anyone know who the father is.

RE: Israeli Heroes

Has anyone noticed the ad at the top of this thread. Is it a coincidence.

RE: Are we becoming so brutally selfish that we forget how important it's to give and share?

Atta Girl,no sharing the chocs either.

RE: Happy Birthday to U,my sweet friend Kaybee

Many many Happies to a fun CS member. Have a great day.

RE: Are we becoming so brutally selfish that we forget how important it's to give and share?

Hi V, I was wondering how to respond to the thread author but you have done it beautifully and succinctly.

Whilst I agree that the thread is interesting, and all the men are positively drooling,I do not see myself as selfish for choosing to live alone.

One reaches a stage in ones life when decisions are often made for you,like bringing up children,caring for parents,careers etc., which makes it really difficult to start a new relationship.

We all have our place in life and yes I agree,nothing like having a loving partner to share it with,but I would rather have my life as it is with loving family and friends,male and female,than upset the balance and go through the pain of another broken relationship.

I'll fly solo thanks.

RE: What's the worst experience in your life?

Having read and posted on this thread,with a lump in my throat I might add,I extend a huge hug to all the C.S. members who have suffered losses and are struggling with life threatening illnesses.

God bless you all and keep you safe.

RE: Man, I am fuming

Absolutely agree. It sickens me to see young children paraded around ,made up to the nines,and the spitefulness that ensues.

Whatever happened to childhood.8 going on 18.They grow up quick enough without pushy mothers.

RE: How did you come up with your CS name

Don't have to have a high IQ to work mine out!

I've had it a couple of years now so perhaps I should change it to Past my sellby!

RE: Dominique Strauss-Kahn guilty or not guilty

He has given permission for a body check today.They are looking for scratch marks apparently.

Innocent until proven guilty

RE: Dominique Strauss-Kahn guilty or not guilty

Not just his mouth by all accounts!

RE: What If It Was Not Yours?

The above shows that not everything in life has to turn sour.

This is not your problem Maryrachelle,though I do understand your concern for a family member.The couple concerned have to sort this for themselves with or without input from the biological Father.

It takes a real man to bring up someone else's child as his own. If he decides to do this I wish him all the best.Casting stones is not going to solve the issue. Who amongst us hasn't fallen by the wayside.j.m.o.

RE: What's the worst experience in your life?

My younger brother was on holiday in Sri Lanka with his wife and dropped dead at 35.Due to communication problems I had to go and tell my parents that their youngest son had died.

My Father was recovering from a major heart attack at the time.

I had to hold the Family together and it was some time after that I was able to grieve for him

RE: What If It Was Not Yours?

This rang a bell from the past in my family.

During the war the Americans were based in Bournemouth and my aunt, whose husband was in the Royal Navy, had a relationship with a black american.

She didn't tell a soul so when the baby was born imagine the shock. My uncle stood by her and accepted the child who was raised in a loving home.His colour caused him problems un fortunately as it was considered unacceptable in those days.

A lovely guy who overcame predjudice thank goodness.

RE: Events in time.

Gosh yes ,I was on a care assignment for 2 weeks and waiting to go home.The client's sisters came in to relieve me and told us the news of Diana.
Ruined my Sunday,I was so upset.
