RE: Love at first sight?

Ah well, we all have to grow up sometime.

Bad Teacher!

Nope, I´m not, but I´d like to be sometimes.

RE: Love at first sight?

Depends on how old one is. Love at first sight I believe is possible for youngsters, it happened to me and my ex husband and we were together for over twenty years, still just as much in love at the end.

Older folk, as I am now, no. We are generally too fussy....perhaps enlightened is a better word! and a little jaded maybe. We expect, want or need too much for love at first sight to be a real possibility.

Bad Teacher!

I´m going to look out for this film for some teacher tips

RE: So what would you serve?

Not always, I can cook but I´ve got out of the habit since being single and don´t have time. My fridge is bare anyway!

RE: So what would you serve?

Day of rest. Sunday for me is a day out with friends eating food someone else has cooked!

RE: So Cute....... Kaitlyn Maher

Have to agree with you and Tule, cute, but not the most talented wee singer I´ve heard.

RE: New Members

It would be totally unworkable. The list would be endless! All new members can do to be on their guard is to read the CS advice regarding scammers and keep updated on the forums.

In any case, many, many people have been suspended or banned who are most definitely not scammers.

RE: when you were a kid, what do you remember collecting as a hobby?

Postcards, stamps and books.

The book collection continues to this day, but sadly I can´t have all them with me because I´ve been travelling around for the past 11 years.

RE: Heartbreaking news about my lil dog Prince

Glad he´s ok even though he needs medication for the rest of the time you and he will be together. Such a weight off your mind CC. Remember though he is very old, and as I know from personal experience you´ll go through heartbreak eventually.

RE: Songs that pull on the 'heart strings' # 2

English lesson

I was thinking the same....well almost the same. I think poor Toshi must be worn out and just wants to put his feet up with a beer and watch the football.

English lesson

I wasn´t sure which category to put this under.



Not typical of my teaching methods by the way, but a good example of third person singular drilling in there!

Looking back on your life.....

I too have experienced personal fulfillment in finding inner peace as you say since learning to live alone for the first time in my life, but the hurt and pain you describe related to love I´ve not experienced to such degree so we are different in that respect.

My memories of love are mostly good, and despite the reasons for separating, they remain a good time in my life.

Looking back on your life.....

Make sure you do you witch!

Looking back on your life.....

...I mean to a time in your life which was particularly happy and you were truly in love, when would it be and why7

I don´t particularly subscribe to looking back, but some of us have experienced times in our lives which sadly may never be surpassed in terms of love. I´m convinced that my first true love and subsequent long marriage can never be equalled for the passion, amongst many other wonderful things in the relationship, which endured for many many years. Perhaps because we were very young, crazy in love, lots of things in common, and perhaps more importantly bore two great children, both of whom have done us proud, there is still an unbreakable bond, but the flipside of course is a lot to live up to for a potential partner.

Incidentally, I do not harbour any desires whatsoever to have any intimate relationship with my ex husband, nor he with me as far as I´m aware, although we are still friends.

RE: Cheers to all NON-native English speakers here!

You most certainly have cherry. Well done to you.

RE: Cheers to all NON-native English speakers here!

Same sentiments here, and as an English teacher I´ve noticed great leaps and bounds in some of the non-native English speakers here, paricularly our Boban.

Congratulations to all of you. Nice thread T, and congratulations to you too on your results.

RE: Songs that pull on the 'heart strings'.

So many through the decades!

Coming right up to date though with this one. I think it won a grammy award this year.

RE: Drunk

You´re welcome. You don´t want to keep on MAKING the same mistake now do you.

RE: Drunk

People MAKE mistakes, not DO.

Make and do are very difficult for non native English speakers.

No charge for today´s English lesson.

RE: Who do you think are the funniest posters on CS?

Without a doubt, 911Gypsy.

Be young7777 be foolish, but be happy.



Be happy, so many people here seem to have so many demons so listen to the lyrics and dance along if the mood taes you!

Nite folks.

RE: A TO Z ANY GENRE ANY ERA II

How about the O´Jays7

RE: A TO Z ANY GENRE ANY ERA II

Nirvana.

RE: What are your favourite pieces of classical music ?

I adore classical music it´s impossible to choose a favourite, but this is one piano piece I love, and the accompanying video brings a tear to my eye.

RE: Drinking and surfing

That´s the weird thing though, people always do know where their phone is to send messages that they die a thousand deaths for in the morning.
