being a gentleman or a lady is par for the course where i live, not really a question.
I actually watched a mother slap her teenage son upside the head yesterday for not holding a door for a woman coming inside with toddler in tow. The kid apologized (that shocked me) and sounded like he meant it. (it's good to see mamma's still raising kids right, lol.)
Personaly, i adore that CURTISY from men and gladly show it in kind.
A woman wakes up, goes to the bathroom and hears 'clink clink'. She looks down and sees a few pennies in the toliet and becomes a little worried.
She goes to work, uses the bathroom. Again she hears 'clink clink' and this time sees nickles. She returns to her desk, more worried, and calls her doctor for an appointment. "The doctor will see you this afternoon"
She stops by the bathroom before leaving work. "clink clink", this time it's dimes.
While waiting to see her doctor she's near frantic and is scared to go to the restroom but can't hold it. "clink clink". To her horror it's quarters this time.
"I'm panicing doctor, what on earth is wrong with me?"
The doctor calmly walks around his desk with a kind, understanding look on his face. "You should sit down." The woman fumbles for a chair and flops into it, thinking the worst. The doctor places a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Your going to be fine....
It bugs me too. However, i try not to let it get to me. I'm a creative writer at heart (maybe some day by profession) but i worship my spell check and suspect i give my editor fits. The ironic thing is I have a touch of o.c.d. and it drives me bonkers when i'm trying to read something and it's obvious the author hasn't even made an attempt at proper spelling or punctuations. And this is concerning English language natives.
sure it's the thought that counts but a flower from a florist makes the statement "i've been thinking about you constantly and had the fore thought to 'select' a special flower just for you as a surprise."
But there should be another option in the polls... lie by ommition. Look at it how you want. What i feel comfortable telling someone on line is true, if i'm not comfortable then i swerve around the subject like a pro stunt driver.
i'm to nice to tell people it's none of thier busness.
I have two reasons i'm only looking local anymore. My daughters.
I actually had a long distance relationship up until early this year. We were beyond perfect together, but circumstances *sigh* We tried for over two years to make things work.
we were the right people meeting at the wrong time in our lives. It's taken time to accept that.
but i don't feel like i could ever go through that again.
i've been peeking into the international... brought me back to that 'wall flower' phase of my life. Found i didn't miss it all that much. I'm really aching for something more local. ty anyway sweetie.
i started heading out to Franklin, taking a look at the job market, hoping to find a second job and on my way i got a call from a senior care company out in that area i'd been hoping to work for for months!! yaay, wish me luck, my interview is tomorrow!!!
A deaf man walks into a store. He needs to buy a tooth brush. The sales lady doesn't know sign language, so after a few minutes the man successfully mimics the action of brushing his teeth to cummunicate what he needs and the sales lady helps him to make his purchase. A little while later a blind man walks into the same store needing to purchase a pair of sunglasses. How would he go about making his need known to the sales lady?
Hiya I did start a thread in this area, but like everyone is saying, this forum seems dead X.X It's pretty frustraiting actually
all i've been hoping for is some people to talk with at least, but the only 'action' is on the chat, and that's international. Not what i'm looking for.
And the ranter was right about some people on here. I got IM'd my second day on the site from some guy in the middle east about some very freaky, unappropriate stuff. Prompted me to set my restrictions right then and there.
Don't get me wrong, i'm young and healthy. But i'm not perfect either and i have some 'baggage'. i love my two girls very much, and i'm skittish about dating again because of them. On the other hand i've been seperated for three years and i do miss having that other some one around.
but just meeting some like minded people would be wonderful... like minded people in the same area as me is starting to seem impossible.
and as for being noticed when you go to places like clubs and bars and strip clubs...
places like that tend to be about who's got the 'bejamin's' for the women. I can tell you as a woman myself *looking down* yep, as a woman myself, demeanor in daily public is ingrained in us to be much more reserved.
RE: why do ALL women think that...........
i've actually notice both in my late marrage and my parents marrage that the guy is the one who is in love with the sound of his own voice.i dunno, maybe women in my family are just quiet. ahem, quieter.
