So you finally acknowledge your love for me??? rolling on the floor laughing

(Just kidding, you know) hug

RE: Lets just say you met "The One" on here..........

I can understand the internal questioning (should I do this or should I do that?) and I'm sure it's gnawing at you (sorry...I meant "gnawing at them"). But my honest feeling is that if it's absolute that neither can move and that the visits can't continue, your options (sorry, THEIR options) are to either end it or to carry on status quo, with no expectations beyond today. And this is the thing that is generally impossible to do. In other words, I would rule out the "wait 3 years" option, because I don't think either of you (sorry, either of THEM) will really, truly do this. It might be what both desire right now, but as others have said, 3 years is a long time. If love can carry you for 3 years apart (sorry, I meant THEM), it will. But if it cannot, it won't. But I would not put my life on hold for 3 years.
I wish you the best.

RE: Computers

I checked some PC tech sites and they all say that 4 beeps indicates a system timer failure. I have to go to work now and can't give you anything more at the moment, but go to Google and type in "4 beeps pc" or "Vista 4 beeps" or something similar and you can see many posts about this indicator. Some do offer some troubleshooting assistance.
Good luck!

RE: Is it true that...

No, Epicure, this isn't accurate. Lack of elimination does not mean total acceptance. For example....if I am buying groceries, and I am looking at tomatoes, I might see one that I know I definitely don't want (it looks too bruised, too soft, too pale, etc.)....then I look at the others and want to pick the best one that is available. Most of them are probably fine, and I don't totally rule them out like I did with the first one. But I don't buy them all. I pick one that I think will be the best one to satisfy my taste.

RE: Relating face-to-face?

Note to self: Visit Houston during next trip back home.

RE: Is it true that...

I think we may have ourselves a deal, Kid!! handshake
(But they must not be consecutive days, of course....for that would be overkill, you know) grin

RE: Is it true that...

That's 11 minutes and I'm usually fast asleep after 8 minutes! laugh

RE: Is it true that...

In all sincerity, Epicure, you seem like a decent and intelligent man, so although I won't respond with either a yes or a no, I will say that I think you're quite ok! hug

RE: Is it true that...

laugh Not for me, Kid....give me 6 minutes or it's no deal! laugh

RE: Is it true that...

That wouldn't be true with me, Epicure. But I can figure out in about 5 seconds with whom I definitely would NOT want to spend the rest of my life!

RE: What are you wearing now?

A thick white robe and pink slippers.

RE: Relating face-to-face?

I don't wonder what it's like, Michael, because I do have opportunities to go out and have conversation and dinner and such. But, I agree with you....too many text messages, too much chatting, not enough face-to-face relating.
Have you asked a woman out on a date recently? I hope you get that dinner and a movie very soon!

RE: Good news and bad news.

Wow! When he says he's going, he doesn't mess around, does he? laugh Well, hope to see him back again soon. Lots of departures recently.

RE: Good news and bad news.

Don't stay away too long. We'll leave the light on for you! hug

RE: UFO's.....do you believe

I have seen a UFO. By the very definition of the words in the acronym, I definitely witnessed an unidentifiable flying object. I was driving with a friend in a region of Greece known as the Peloponneses. It was approximately 6pm in May, so it was still light out. I saw something streak across the sky (horizontally, but rather low), just in front of a mountain. It was fast, it was elongated somewhat (but shorter than a commercial jet) and the thing that made it stand out as unidentifiable was that there was a green flame shooting out from behind it. Yep. Green. I saw it while I was driving. I glanced over at my friend and she and I both said, at the same time, "Did you see that??" We talked about it for awhile, both trying to come up with something to explain what it was, but unable to do so. We ultimately concluded that we could not identify that flying object. So, yes, I believe and I have seen a UFO.

Obama said it like this.....

Even Carter has a better legacy than GWB...
But, I know....the proof is in the pudding...well, I can just say that there are a lot of countries who are now willing to taste the pudding. cheers

Obama said it like this.....

Indy, I wish we were eye-to-eye on this, because I like and respect much of what you say and who I think you are. But, since we are not of one mind here, I'll just say that I am proud to be amongst the 53%! hug

RE: To all the girls here: Some girls need to stop this annoyance!

Methinks that thou dost protest too much. You keep mentioning her (666, as you call her)...hmmmmmmm....got your goat, eh?

Obama said it like this.....

Do you know the phrase "perception is reality"??? The vast majority of the world perceives that Obama is a better President and a more capable leader than what we have offered up for many years (decades, at least). Can you fathom what that does for us as a nation? It doesn't matter one bit if the man can bring something positive to the table or not...if the table wants to include him, and if he is offered the head of the table, this means something.
Personally, I am thrilled and I like what I hear and what I know of the man. But if I am misinformed or if I fall short of full knowledge of his platform and his goals, at least I know that the vast majority of the world no longer sees a U.S. President who is inarticulate, spoonfed, and arrogant. If he changes nothing more than the perception (and I think he will do much more), he has already accomplished a tremendous feat. I live abroad, but am American....and I can't begin to express what this one man has done to re-shape the perception of Americans. To those who sit at home in U.S. suburbia and watch NBC or CBS or ABC nightly news and think that they know what's going on across the globe, I am here to tell you that I have been there and done that and that you (WE) only have a miniscule part of the true picture. We aren't what we think we are. We are capable of being what we think we are, but we haven't stepped up and been the nation that we claim to be for a long time. We haven't had hope, we haven't felt proud of our leader...our President....for so long. Perception is reality. Like him or not, President Obama has brought us back to a place in this world where we can once again say "I am American" and not feel that we need to offer up an explanation ("I am American, BUT....).

RE: CS Get-Together - ROME, ITALY - 3-5 April 2009

Me, too, Rose...of all the things I would have liked to have brought home with me from Rome, a cold was not on the list. But, alas, I am suffering with a helluva bad one! Sneeze, cough, cough, sneeze, sniffle, blow nose, sniffle, cough again. Ugh! But such a pleasure to meet you all! Worth every Kleenex tissue and every cough drop! hug

Obama said it like this.....

Just popping back in to my thread....glad to see there are still some comments coming in. I am once again rejuvenated. All hope is not lost. He cannot do it in a few months and he cannot do it alone, but by God....he gives us hope. And with hope, WE can do it. We can change and we can ratify our mistakes. I am 54 years old and I have never, in all my voting years, felt proud. So, to my President, I say thank you....thank you for allowing me at least a few months of feeling proud and hopeful again. If you don't do one damn other thing in your administration, you have done more than many before you, and I thank you. I don't care why or how or what it stems from....you have changed the world's perception and it was sorely needed. You said, "Yes, We Can" and for once in my life....I believe.

RE: Disaster hits Abruzzo...Italy

Mother nature is a force one cannot reckon with...all we can do is take time to think of those who have lost their loved ones, their dwellings, their livelihoods. When tragedy strikes, it strikes us all, in a way. "There, but for the grace of God, go I." I am always saddened by such events and my heart goes out to those affected. sad flower

Obama said it like this.....

Two quotes of his that I like very much:

Americans... still believe in an America where anything's possible - they just don't think their leaders do.


Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

Obama said it like this.....

Hi, Gozo wave

I will tell you this....
Working for the government, as I do, it's a lot easier to hold my head up these days.

Obama said it like this.....

Speaking in Strasbourg, President Obama characterized the U.S. - Europe relationship as follows:

It's easier to allow "resentments to fester" than "to forge true partnerships," the president said. "So we must be honest with ourselves. In recent years, we've allowed our alliance to drift. I know that there have been honest disagreements over policy. But we also know that there's something more that has crept into our relationship.

"In America, there's a failure to appreciate Europe's leading role in the world. Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America's showed arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.

"But in Europe, there is an anti-Americanism that is at once casual but can also be insidious. Instead of recognizing the good that America so often does in the world, there have been times where Europeans choose to blame America for much of what's bad.


Rather spot on, I think, on both counts.
Your opinions???

RE: Say 'I LOVE YOU' in your native language

Damn! I wrote it the second time in Greek letters, but it just comes back as a garbled word.

RE: Say 'I LOVE YOU' in your native language

It's not my native language, but here in Greece, "I love you" is:

S'agapo.

S'a?ap?

RE: how do you fall in love with a computer monitor....
