RE: WOW...

I never had any problems with it so it was fine but I sure would LOVE an edit button?

For typo's?

RE: What Would You Do?

I really really wish there were edit buttons on this site!

I'm unsure if it's this way there but custody and support have nothing to do with one another in Canada.

People, men actually, often make that mistake of thinking the two are interelated. I understand in this instance it's a different situation because of her character etc.

RE: What Would You Do?

Hard call but the laws in the U.S. are different from Australia.

Do you have access to any free legal advice?

Do you have any family that can help you out?

Is the relationship salvagable?

What happened that it deteriorated so quickly?

I wanna know if that's a scam!

RE: Earthquake North of Ottawa Today

Yup. 14:43hrs. For about a minute. Sat and looked at my glass of water trembling.

This is Canada for crying out loud! We don't do that here!

Controversial whaling proposal fails at global meeting

23 June 2010

(Agadir, Morocco) - The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW-www.ifaw.org) announced today that a controversial proposal to legalize whaling has failed at the annual meeting of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) in Agadir, Morocco.

“Under a cloud of corruption allegations the IWC is taking a safe course, opting for a cooling off period that protects the moratorium and other IWC conservation measures,” said Patrick Ramage, Director of IFAW’s Global Whale Campaign. “Had it been done here, this deal would have lived in infamy.”
The proposal, three years in the making, proposed a compromise between whaling and non-whaling nations which regularly clash at annual IWC meetings. Among the most hotly debated components of the proposal was a plan to overturn the worldwide ban on whaling, in place since 1986, by allowing legalized hunting of whales by Iceland, Norway, and Japan – the last three countries still hunting whales commercially. Japan, Norway, and Iceland have illegally killed nearly 35,000 whales since the inception of the moratorium.

“This was an intense three year effort but one conducted behind closed doors and focused on defining terms under which commercial whaling would continue rather than how it would end,” said Ramage. “The proposal it produced could not withstand public scrutiny and ignored the overwhelming global support for permanent protection for whales. Any future process of negotiation should not leave the views, expertise, and perspective of the global NGO community sitting outside.”

RE: Would this living arrngement make you concerned?

I don't mean negative in a bad way. I mean cautious. Is that also what you mean EE?

RE: Would this living arrngement make you concerned?

Is it really negative? Is it not possible that there's some practical thinking in there?

The only sure things in life are death and taxes.....and if you believe The King isn't really dead...

But seriously did you consider these things when you first made that committment to live together? Or just move in and let the chips fall where they may?

I may soon be facing this exact dilemna and it makes me very uncomfortable. Partially because as Veritaas says, it's not time yet. But also the independence thing too?

RE: Would this living arrngement make you concerned?

I'm gonna go with "Door #3" and pick this answer.

Although, I also really like the sense of what Venusenvy is saying as well.

Personally I've been debating this exact issue for some time. I still don't have an answer that resonates well within but I'm liking how both these ladies are thinking.

I think I might need to keep a home though.. scared?

RE: ONE WOMAN - MANY MEN !!!

Agreed. And you have the choice of staying or leaving. She's being honest with you. And that's more than most people have the courage to do.

"never again, learned a hard lesson they dont change"

Umm no they don't. And trying to is wrong to start with so you get what you deserve

RE: Finding Reality

Now gordy I know it's very long but it's true. There are men like that out here. Most people have some sort of screening process

I'm too old to tolerate anyone's crap anymore I worked very hard to get where I am now. I have my act together and that's what I bring to the table. I'm honest about it and very straightforward.

you can make different choices...your call..

venusenvy have you noticed the trail of men falling in love with you all over CS?

RE: Would you have Whale or Puffin for dinner?

Good Morning Life

I think that too but lately? I'm thinking we are running out of "next times" ?

What do you think?

RE: What makes the ideal woman

Perhaps you could go share that negativity with someone who enjoys it? I can think of a few on here

RE: Six things to I hate to see on a profile(for fun)

As a side note, it might interest some of you that there are folks out there who don't know how to post pictures on here. They haven't learned that skill yet and I know we were all there once where we had to "learn" something.

RE: What makes the ideal woman

RE: Finding Reality

Sorry.. one of the other ladies posted here that you don't have to disclose everything right off the bat and I agree. If he doesn't like children? Lose him. It is wise to wait until you've been together for a while before you expose your child to a poss partner. Kids don't process adults situations as well and nor should they have to.

In the mean time get interested in you. Find out what you like to do, what your interests are. Take up a new hobbie like diving

RE: Let the war begin. Most Women...(:

hmmm I suspect it might be to do with D&S.

RE: Outspoken or Eccentric

Perhaps we should ask the fathers of psychiatry? Certainly Freud thought he was on to something... despite his.. issues

First place you ever consumated "the deed"

Perhaps we should hook Gemeh and Casey up together and they can do the dirty deed

No and feel free to demonstrate for me. I'd LOVE it

RE: What motivates belief?

Having been a nurse for a million years in another life time,I've seen what the "power" of belief can do for people. And if it gets them through the day or provides strength? That's fine. I believe it's each person's human right to decide for themselves what set of beliefs is best for them. I see that often times people are more willing to just go along with what they have been taught as a child and if that brings them peace, then so be it.
For me personally, I can't believe in a text written during a period of humanity that isn't applicable to today. Obviously some pieces are ageless, ie thou will not boff thy neighbour etc but the bulk of it doesn't resonate within my soul or my spirit. It doesn't motivate me on any level. I do believe that back in the day people needed religion in order to make some sense of the societies, leadership if you will. To establish order.

I can't say that the higher power which guides me is named "god" or that it's a man even. I don't think it is. It feels more like a gathering of energies with no gender, none of which are spiteful or hating. Those energies come from a gentle loving place which is wise beyond time. Certainly it's not a human that has this capability and Jesus was a man. When I think of a higher power, those "religous" icons dont come to mind at all.

There are times when I need to make a life decision, the consequences having a critical impact. If I'm unable to come to a decision, I just leave it alone and let the universe bring me the answer. And in some form or another, the answer comes to me and I know that it is the answer. I recognize it.

I believe in the spirit of the human. I believe in intuition, karma and energy from within ourselves. I believe you can "share" your vibrations with other humans, your energy if you will. When needed you can give them your strength to help them through. I am able to sense when something bad is going to happen. If I was going to pick a human to admire or worship, it would be people like Ghandi, the Dolly Llama, Einstein

These things are my beliefs. They are as tangible to me as the sky is blue. I have seen Karma work her ways many times, too many not to believe.

Recently I decided I wanted to live on a boat year round but needed to decide if this was what I really wanted to do. Inside it "felt" right because being close to or in the water feels natural to me. Doing this would be a major lifestyle change for me and my son. So I gave it to the universe, and asked for a sign to show me the right path to take. About two days later I was going through a site looking at some boats and I found this name that I havent thought of in about 20 years. This was my parent's neighbour who had passed away some time ago. He built boats for a living and the very boat I was admiring was one he had built. The chances of that happening are slim. But to me? It's a sign. A very clear sign and if you pay attention around you, you'll see them everywhere.

Most people might refer to it as coincidence. And to that end is the challenge. To think something greater, wiser, or smarter exists is pushing human's reality a bit farther than the comfort zone. Right up there with UFO"s almost. It doesn't fit into any neat little boxes with labels. It's not a "religion" per say. It's not "bad". It's not logical.

I believe every human on earth has this same ability but we intentionally "chose" to extinguish it because it doesn't "fit" when you think about organized religion. It doesn't fit into any logical little boxes. And it's not something that everyone is "attuned" to so that almost makes it subjective to a degree.

But like religion, my belief system is real and tangible to me. I see it working for me. I see it helping me. I see it forming me and showing me the paths to choose.
