RE: The dating verdict is In...

Really. There are so much better things they could do with 'em.

RE: Guitar with 27 strings.....

Robbie Robertson of The Band performs on an even larger harp guitar in the Martin Scorsese film The Last Waltz. It's not in the concert footage, but you see it during the filmed closing theme.

RE: what is lldddlddwlddlllldldldl

It's a sunny morning here in east Tennessee. Looks to be another hot one.

RE: what about your country?

...Clifford Sleigh, Albert Johnson Walker, Terry Driver, Victor Ernest Hoffman, Gregory Despres, Paul Rose...and let's not forget Karla Homolka, whatever name she may be living under now, since her release...

RE: I don't understand at all....

Ah! Ok. Try this:

1. Log off CS totally.
2. Turn off your pc. (Try telling it you have a headache and are not in the mood.)
3. When you return, NEVER EVER click the Hide button again.

Give this a try and see if it helps.

RE: I don't understand at all....

Ok. I do not know if this is a regional problem, but it is different from what we get. We only see the Hide button attached to individual posts in any thread. That means we can choose to not look at those posts anymore when we read that thread.

Software is complicated and can be tricky. I have heard that China has fairly strict controls on Internet content. It may be that the new CS Forums functions conflict with your government's own security software somehow. I hope this is not the case. If the problem persists, I suggest you write to CS about it, giving all the details you can. Perhaps it can be cleared up.

Best of luck A, and please stay with us!

RE: I don't understand at all....

Oh that's rubbish. Everyone knows, China owns the US now. Literally, owns it. Holds all those trillions of dollars of debt that we just two days ago agreed to increase.

RE: I don't understand at all....

Please explain A. When and where do you see this "Hide" button? While viewing a thread, or before you open any threads?

RE: I don't understand at all....

I can't speak for Jeeps, but to turn on my pc, I blow in its ear.

Please either merge or divide Forum threads and Polls!

It's a real nuisance to click on a Poll thread, find it uninteresting, and then not be able to go right back to All Threads.

Instead, once you've clicked on a Poll, even by accident, you are stuck in Poll Hell.

Either make the two all the same (All Threads) or better yet, make them totally separate (no Polls appear under All Threads).

Please, pretty please?

RE: what about your country?

Do explain then why 90% of Canada's population lives within 50 miles of our welcoming arms?

I will say this for Canada....many many hotties.

RE: ALL THAT POSTS, POLLS AND POETRY ABOUT RELIGION ARE RELIGIOUS OR POLITICAL QUESTIONS?

And you intend to calm the waters, as your own post makes abundantly evident.

RE: Requesting women's financial worth - bank balances, income, etc..

You sussed that out too eh?

RE: Requesting women's financial worth - bank balances, income, etc..

That part in boldface, that was your real question, wasn't it?

RE: GOOGLE MAPS

Yeah, that's a hoot! But in a way, #49 is even funnier.

RE: This is pathetic

But, will you love them long time?

Is "dating" normal?

Hiya R! Yes, I think that's well in line with what CB & Lucy said too....if I may paraphrase, "planning" to meet that special someone just doesn't work. If that's so, then why date at all? Unless you are already in a relationship with them...

Is "dating" normal?

Haven't you any uncles to set you up?

Is "dating" normal?

Hi Lucy!

So, if you didn't know them beforehand, then, you were "dating," right? Even if the "dating" phase took only a few hours?

I'm a Date Virgin, myself. Never had the chance to go out with anyone I wasn't already going with. I feel so deprived!

Is "dating" normal?

Hi CB! Yes, I think that's the way it really is: It Just Happens, for right or wrong. If that's so, then "dating" is, well, pointless.

RE: what if.......

As I've seen your photos, I can guess exactly what he was thinking. He has an old Ford Fiesta, and would like to upgrade to a nice new Lamborghini.

Well, good for him, but he should know, you don't lie to your Lamborghini. They tend to run hot if you do and can then be verrrry expensive to maintain.

Is "dating" normal?

Is it really normal to meet someone casually, and then explore together the possibility of a lasting relationship? Is that really how it happens?

I don't think so. I think we only become attracted to one another after we've met, and begun to know one another. Love at second or third sight, you might call it. Yes, some attraction may be obvious at the first meeting...but when does that meeting happen?

I've had....some few lasting relationships in my years. In every case it's been with someone I already met through school or work. The lone exception was my recent affair with another CS member, and even then we "knew" each other beforehand.

So I want you to consider your own past relationships, and see if they were actually the result of "dating" or if in fact the dating (and relationship) began after you already knew your partner.

Isn't that how it really works? Opinions, please.

RE: what if.......

Let's see. He or she says they're in a relationship. OK. Seems honest.

He or she claims to be in a relationship but already knows it is over, yet is maintaining the pretense. Not OK. Does not seem honest.

I don't see how he or she can have it both ways and still claim to be honest. Honesty is not about who you are telling the truth to, it's about you. Either you are honest with everyone, or you're dishonest.

Just to check, I suggest you call his or her partner and ask them if they know their relationship is about to end.

RE: urban cowboy...

Here's another, with the ubiquitous Michael MacDonald (formerly of The Eagles, and Steely Dan) in the background:

RE: Didn't Think I Would Be Doing This, But Bye For Now.

That's great news Morgan! I wish you the best of luck.

I have voted Thumbs Up on your OP and urge all your friends to do the same to show their support for your new venture.

And, uhh....what's the name of this bar with the free drinks?

RE: urban cowboy...

Wow, CG, your thread has left even the CS Ad Robot speechless!

Here's something in the same vein:



Song written by Bruce Springsteen, btw.

RE: Please help me to understand

Okay, okay, hold on a sec. Relax. Take a few deep breaths. Close your eyes and think of sweet flowers blooming in a lush garden. Forget that you are upset, and don't be.

Now then, the harsh truth: the guy's an a**hole. When he says you are unstable, or you are an unfit parent, or you are a low-life scumbag, he's doing what psychologists call "projecting." Basically that means he's attributing all his own faults to you. It's an immature, juvenile tactic: trying to shoulder all the blame for whatever happens onto you instead of himself.

So, screw him. Protect your children first, whatever he says and does, and then yourself. He wants to move to Asia? Sayonara, loser. As soon as he's out the door, get yourself a lawyer. If you and the scumbag loser jointly own any property or assets, make sure you ask the lawyer how you can have them frozen so they can't be touched without your okay.

I'm very sorry to hear of the distress you've endured. I hope someday all will prove to the best for you and your kids. Chin up, now. Be strong and be proud. You deserve only the best.

RE: Separated !!!

Screw society. Do it anyway.

RE: metal origins

Back in the beginning days of "metal" it was hard to distinguish from "blues-rock."

RE: Paris allows women wearing trousers?

Dammit. Sorry about the double pointless quote.

Paris police were being asked to change a lot of things in the late '60s, as I recall. But it is interesting that such a law might still be on the books. It could raise issues of "selective enforcement" when compared to other, more recent laws regarding how women dress in public. How can you arrest one for wearing a hajib or burqa but not arrest the other for wearing pants, if both are against the law?
