RE: I AM NOT INTERESTED IN FOOTBALL AT ALL.AM I ANORMAL?

I'm just an inflated piece of skin. Chase me, chase me!

Me and My Monkey

No, he is a British performer. I love his music. He's a bit raw but quite captivating, in my opinion.
Off to bed now. Listen to Robbie....rock a bit and enjoy!

RE: is it better to get your heart broken by several different guys or by just the one person?

I'd rather have my heart broken by many different men.


Oh, wait a sec.


I HAVE had my heart broken by many different men!



Hmmmmmmmm.

Yep, it's still better than one.

Me and My Monkey

God, I love Robbie Williams! Listening to him now. Eating a bit of chicken and rice, bopping and singing to Robbie. Life is so f***ing good. Okey doke.

RE: THE CS FORUMS

And thanks also to you. I am not looking for sympathetic posts, I hope you will understand. I simply state my reality and the reality of CS. I could pop into every thread with some upbeat and encouraging post, but this is not me. If it bores me, it bores me. If it intrigues me, I reply. I can't be and won't be everywhere on every thread. I want to be real here. And, for me, real means responding when I have something to contribute or a clear thought about the subject. Or it means something captivating that compels me to reply. In any case, I am not one to respond to every thread and I don't seek compatriotism. In the words of Popeye.... I yam what I yam. Sometimes, here, I feel this isn't enough. But it's up to me to decide when I've had enough. And I will one day. Until then, this is merely a diversion.

RE: THE CS FORUMS

Thank you, Jesse.

RE: THE CS FORUMS

I have been here for a long time, yet I still feel like a newcomer at times...not remembered. OK. So be it. But to answer your question, I feel that there are very few threads to which I wish to respond. In all honesty, I'm feeling quite apathetic. Sigh. No biggie. I have seen how it is here. I can't buy in to the club. Or the club doesn't include me. Either way, this is life. I could be gone tomorrow and nobody would notice. In all honesty, I wonder.

RE: You can hear a pin drop!

Just got home from work. Here for awhile, then going out for the evening. Welcome back, Sweetowen!

RE: attached?

I should think that if you are in love, you ARE emotionally attached to them. There shouldn't be anything frightening in this.

RE: The reason why no one wanna date me

You never replied to my advertisement. Didn't you see it? I paid big money to have it in all the Balkan newspapers. It said:

Wanted: Cute Serbian gypsy vampire with a passion for vodka and lying in bed day after day. Must have a sense of humor. If you meet the criteria, please contact me on Connecting Singles.

RE: Happy Mothers Day

Thank you, Larry.

RE: Happy Mother's Day To All!

This is my favorite:

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful Moms here.

RE: I don’t know what to do!

Flock off!

RE: I don’t know what to do!

What you need, Sir, is to find amongst them the stoolpigeon ... the one who will squawk. But watch them closely; I have heard that at least one of them is a jailbird.

RE: Reasons Why Women Fall In Love With The Wrong Men

You listed many reasons why I am NOT in love....or with someone at present. If it's not right, it's not right. Simple concept, isn't it? I'd rather be alone than to have a relationship that isn't based on reality, love, honesty (and being with someone because "it's better than being alone" is a very dishonest approach) and a complete acceptance of the man, as I would want from him. No trying to change him, no deception, no sacrificing my own self-worth...not for me. Unless the end result will be a complete picture, I don't want to waste my time on the jigsaw puzzle.

RE: Who is dating who here in CS?

He wasn't. He just sat there, night after night, with that empty look on his blank face. I tried to make it work, I really did, but it was like talking to a wall. Besides, he was two-timing me. He was seeing HotrodLarry, too, if I remember correctly. Not taking anything away from Larry....he probably looks great in a dress and heels, but I still found it a bit insulting. Now, however, I have a new love in my life...we're just starting, mind you, so let's see how it goes, but wish me luck. His name is "Fatchanceyousillyoldbroad". This could be the one!

RE: Have u ever missed some one u met in online ?

Me, too. But one door closes and, perhaps, another will open. At least, this is what I tell myself.

RE: Who is dating who here in CS?

It really wasn't so negative, Spicey. It was an expression of opinion, such as you have done. I'm not angry, upset, hostile, annoyed, bothered, or anything of the kind. Just expressed an opinion. This is unacceptable??

RE: Who is dating who here in CS?

Hi, Morgan.
Yeah, I know...."hottest woman on CS"..."hottest man", etc. I took some heat awhile back for asking to be excluded from a poll or voting process for something I found to be rather ludicrous. I didn't choose to be in the list and I wasn't interested in watching how the numbers stacked up for or against me. Some thought I was rude, I think, but I respectfully asked to be removed and I would do so again.

RE: Who is dating who here in CS?

I just don't like lists here of any sort. Never have, never will. Not when it comes to listings about people here. I've been on some and have been left off of many, and I don't really care for it in either case. As I've witnessed over my time here, no good is ever served. Someone feels left out and pops into the thread with a "what about me?" sort of plea, invariably followed by that person's name being added next to the current list. I haven't read through all of this, so I am not referencing ANYONE if, during the course of this thread, someone had a "what about me?" entry. I didn't see it, ok? And early on in this one, I echoed another post by saying that I, too, was dating "Account deleted" because at that time it was still seemingly innocent. Maybe I'm in the minority here, and I know the initial posting was light-hearted and meant nobody any harm. But they always go afoul or someone always feels neglected. It just isn't worth it in the end.
Just my opinion, of course.

RE: My flirty PT

She's married.
Has a husband.
Goes home to him at night, one would assume, as she should do.
When he asks how her day was, she likely says, "Oh, the usual... nothing new or different."

So, let's put the moral aspect aside for a minute (although, this would be the deal-breaker for me). Just ask yourself what you want to be to her. A secret fling? Is that ok with you? If so, for how long? How long will you be in therapy? Will you continue this fling or will it be a one-off...if so, then what? Awkward sessions or switching to a new therapist?

I see a change in your PT as the only viable option. Now or later, that's up to you, but unless you're ok with being her side dish until she either develops a conscience or is afraid of getting caught, I'd suggest moving on now.

You asked.

RE: Could you do this?

I forgot to answer your question, John.
Could I sell everything and set off for continuous travel from now until....well, until?
I have traveled a lot and I do indeed love it. There are so many places that I still want to see in the world and I can completely understand the passion. I have no real home base in the States anymore, for I sold my home when I joined the Foreign Service 6 years ago. But I have a home base in each country to which I am assigned. I have a kitchen, laundry room, neighbors that I get to know, a car for my in-country get-aways, Internet, my DVDs and books, etc. In other words, I have a home that travels with me from post to post. This I can do. But living out of suitcases indefinitely, schlepping around clothes suitable for different climates and seasons, not to mention medical records and other documents that you might need in case of emergency, and other considerations...I don't personally think I could do this for very long. I think it would depend on how you plan it and how long you would stay in each place (at least, for me).
But if this is your dream, live it. There's nothing that says that you must continue forever if it turns out not to suit you after some time. You can always re-settle somewhere when you are ready.
All the best in your decision...and remember to keep Greece on your list!

RE: Could you do this?

John, it would be my pleasure to show you my Athens! (Well, not really MY Athens, but certainly my adopted city). I had the pleasure of meeting Claayer here and welcoming her back during her second visit. There is so much to see and do and I love to show off the good parts of Greece, of which there are many.

RE: ok! fess up. Who is hiding a secret talent.

Oh, yeah...I forgot that one. I'm also a smarty pants. Thanks for reminding me!

RE: ok! fess up. Who is hiding a secret talent.

I write poetry and I am (or was) a singer, once with a pretty decent band (many years ago).

RE: Hear me whine....

Yeah, Zee...distance is definitely a big problem for me, too. I, too, would love to be able to give someone all the love I feel inside and that seems, at times, to be aching to be released. Whine away, Zee...I'll whine with you.

RE: A woman’s worth

You've written a most magnificent tribute to your grandmother. I cry and laugh with you, for I know the feeling.

RE: Who is dating who here in CS?

HEY! We're dating the same person!! That two-timer!

RE: IF CS WAS THE UN

Greece is tired and must go to sleep now, but I am open to your offer and I admire your persistence. You're winning me over, but we're not quite at a deal yet. I will sleep on it and will await your specimens. In fact, as I drift off to sleep, I'll try to conjure up some images in my head and will likely fall asleep with a smile on my face.

RE: IF CS WAS THE UN

So, we have reached some terms with the Netherlands (Rodolpho, I never back down on a deal) for the flowers, Poland (well, at least a small segment of Poland) for the vodka, and the U.S. for the gatorade for our athletes.

Still negotiating with Trinidad and Tobago; Malta hasn't convinced me that they will be able to take care of their own needs for very long; and, Canada...we DO get snow in Greece. There is winter skiing and I hear it's quite good in some locations. I'm not one for skiing or for too much snow, so I'm afraid we have no deal.
