RE: Happy St Patrick’s Day

I am just gonna fix a traditional meal. I miss how we celebrated when my Mum was living. We would all gather at her house for a fun day of food and games. You have me curious now about how most the people in Ireland celebrate it. Thank you curiosity is good for the mind

RE: Eucalyptus Gum Trees

I am not so sure about the "are impossible to get rid of because of the seeds." When I was a little girl growing up here. someone introduced them to my area. It was common to see them and then boom the city made an ordinance that if found on your property you were subject to a fine. I never see them anymore here. Haven't in decades

Not sure how they got rid of them. People just didn't like them and said they were terrible on sinus


Now if you want to get rid of an oak tree here that is another story. You have to get a permit to cut one down even in yard. Even if it is a big ol oak that is dead and needs to go
What I can't stand is the pepper tree. Oh my it is near impossible to get rid of those invasive trees. And yes someones brain child to bring them here and plant them Horrible messy tree

Happy Birthday! Hope you had an awesome day

RE: What ya got on the go.....SAY ANYTHING

That is so true. And some try to run away from their problems just to find out the problems go with them. My idea is not to try and escape from me but to get to know me. I am not perfect but that is ok. No one is

Awe thank you! Yes it is a big eating day here. I like the getting together with family. Even the young ones will make themselves sit for a spell with us.

RE: who can answer this.....??????

I remember being told at a young age "Life is not fair" and then they looked at me and said I could be grateful for that. I always try to do the right thing. Sometimes it works out good and other times not so good. I call it learning lessons for the next part of my journey in life. Sorry this has gotten to you and don't take life or people to seriously. We none are getting out a live

RE: Today is international "Tuen back the clocks" day

I would of liked to of done so much more than I have done in life. But the truth is my past has made me what I am today. And tho my life is not easy I am happy with who I am.

RE: Dating a Widow or Widower

It would be helpful to know how this dead person is coming between you. Why would you feel that way?

RE: Dating a Widow or Widower

I agree with you. From my own personal feelings. I know that for the majority of my life I was married. So if I am going to talk about anything that happened in that time period it will often mean his name will be mentioned. I have tried both ways whilst dating. Talking normal about myself and just sitting there like a bump on the log for fear to mention his name will put a wedge there. I can never get over what happened but I can continue to live a happy productive life. Do I expect a man to replace him or compete with his memory. No. No more than I can erase my past to make a man more comfortable. The times I sat like a bump on the log I have listen to men talk about exes in good and bad ways. I will never understand dating The one thing I can tell you given time you can replace old memories with new ones and have your own memories to talk about. Then I don't keep a shrine in my home either.

RE: Do women still need to wear makeup?

I start with moisturizer and if I am going to put on a full face then I do foundation, blush, powder, mascara and lipstick. I like a full face but most days I am going to work so I just put on lipstick

RE: Pom Pom

Is that a trick question

RE: Do women still need to wear makeup?

I love makeup and usually wear some form of it at all times. I actually dress to sit home by myself. Do I need it. It would most likely depend on who you ask.It makes me feel better. So I do it. I think lipstick is the most essential makeup of all.

RE: Pom Pom

I like them both. Sometimes I don't think some people understand their form of humour. The question is not will Pompom be back but when
I would like to see 2girlsnocup back also. But got a feeling she has been busy lately.

There is another one and for the life of me I cannot think of her name. She always uses the same profile pic so you pretty well can tell it is her. I think a few found her threads I am unsure how to word it so I will use the word ris·qué. Yet I always found her to be polite and nice and yes her thread titles were eye openers But ya know if you don't like a thread you don't have to comment or read it. JMO

RE: Happiness and joy

I love meeting with friends.
Lots of things make me happy. You do know Ali that happiness is and inside job. So what makes me happy is when I am at peace with myself. And I try to always be.

Anything I wanted

RE: MAJOR CARIBBEAN STORM

Thanks everyone. We still have a gas and food shortage. But it is getting better. At least the food situation is. I got a hot meal today Sadly my home and land suffered a little damage. End of the world. No. Just a mildly inconvenient. They are still restoring power. And now the roads are clogged with people coming back Sadly they are finding out when the news says gas shortage they aren't joking. I still don't know why I was compelled to stay and ride this thing alone. My family and friends tried to get me to change my mind. But my gut told me I needed to stay home alone. Life is good. The storm came the storm left. Everything will work out. It always does.

RE: MAJOR CARIBBEAN STORM

I have not had electric in 12 hours. It has been bad here for over 6 hours. Pounding away at us. I am tired. It is dark. The storm has spawned many tornados out. There is flooding. I think the winds should be easing off in the next couple of hours. I DO NOT see me surfing tomorrow. I do see myself starting to fix damages. Mine and neighbors. I heard in South Florida there is 4 million without power. And hearing we might be that way for more than a month. I don't know how much damage I have suffered yet. I decided to sit home alone and I am not going out in the dark. It is dangerous and scary. It can wait till morning. Storm should start breaking up about when it hits zOcala area so other states shouldn't get it as bad. At least I hope not.

RE: MAJOR CARIBBEAN STORM

I will not keep my hands to myself. I am kinda scared right now.
I don't know how much longer I will have electric so wanted to pop in real quick. Have been getting the outter bands since last night. This morning we have been being hit with vicious squalls. She actually turned so we are not even getting the worse of her. She is huge The eye is getting close to the Keys. I am worried that the ones that remained there do not stand a chance I am a survivor and can live with out electric. One of the reasons I remained. My daddy didn't raise no sissies I was taught at an early age to be able to go out into the everglades and survive. What I could use for food etc...my dad was like Archie Bunker he always thought the russians or the Chinese were going to invade us and wanted to go where they would not be comfortable to hide. And it is raining like you would not believe here

RE: MAJOR CARIBBEAN STORM

It looks like it is going to go up the west coast of Florida so I will feel it but not as bad as they thought at first. But it is a storm and could change its mind and come back at us. I am hoping Jose just wanders off into the Atlantic and dies out.




You know the sad awful truth of that question I don't know if you have ever heard of Hurricane Katrina but most her victims were the ones who really did not have the money to evacuate. It must be horrible to want to leave and be unable. Not everyone has the money to evacuate. I have had friends reach out to me from other states offering a place to come to. Not everyone even has that. I actually have never left for a storm. If not for my work and knowing what I do is needed in the after math of any catastrophe. And if my family would of left I think I would of left myself. I am just getting to old for this. We have already been forewarned that we could be without power (electricity) for a month or more. Been there done that. And this is our hot time of the year. And I do live in a tropical climate. I will be fine. It is the older people, the sickly ones, or the ones young or old with special needs. These are the ones that will suffer. . I will just be uncomfortable.

RE: Do you want your ex to be happy ...

I thought I wanted to see him suffer. Then something happened a few days ago and I realized I really don't want that. That I want him to find happiness in life and peace. I don't know if he ever will for he seems to be his own worse enemy. But I hope that he one day has the life he never has had.

RE: MAJOR CARIBBEAN STORM

Thank you


Thank you! There most likely will come a time where I will not be able to communicate with the outside world. But as soon as I can will let all know how I am




I could not agree with you more. What the news is showing but not the complete picture is because they don't want panic is with so many evacuating at once it has turned quite dangerous its self. Between the horrible accidents, and the grid locked roads, lack of access to gas etc.....some are turning around and trying to return to their homes. I myself would suggest they try and continue forward with their journey. My town is Vero Beach and we will be hit they say either way it goes. How bad is yet to be seen. I have prepared the best I can. I need to stay. I need to be here so if needed I can be of help to those that need it afterwards. I have been here all my life. So many staying

These are my neighbors, my friends, my family. And who knows it is a storm with a mind of its own. Tho to look at me right now you would not know it. But I am scared. But my gut tells me to stay. Thank you tho for the advice

RE: MAJOR CARIBBEAN STORM

I know in my area people have been scurrying around trying to prepare for this storm. They have started evacuation procedures now. They have lifted road tolls in the state, sadly I don't think I am going to be able to evacuate By the time I am able to it would most likely not be safe for me to travel. So I am remaining calm. And doing what I can to prepare and hoping for the best. I actually in my sixty years being here never left for a hurricane. I think I kind of would like to for this one.
