RE: who do you turn to as a single parent?

.. i've raised my son completely solo ... and have loved each and every minute of it ... He's married now and grown into an amazing young man .. i couldn't be prouder ... I think strength to manage solo, comes from within ... and the desire to be the very best you can be for your child ...

RE: Stop smoking

... *without "expensive" nicotine pads?? What are cigarettes then? Cheap? What would u rather spend your money on? An expensive habit or an expensive solution? It's your choice.

RE: How it feels to be single for a long time

IT FEELS FANTASTIC ...! It's been 9 years of HEAVEN ON EARTH

RE: Old age is definitely here

... never mind the bi-focals .. start sweatin' bullets when u havta use a walking frame to get to your letterbox ... !


Never forget: Old age is a privilege .. not a guarantee .. be grateful for every new day .. and take nothing for granted .. what lurks around the next corner is anyone's guess ...

RE: do you feel guilty after eating meat?

... u don't get to count HORSE legs as well!!

RE: do you feel guilty after eating meat?

hell no ... If humans were meant to eat only rabbit food, we'd have been born with 4 legs ...

RE: Pocket money for kids?

i reckon pocket money is a COOL idea .. my son got pocket money .. but he had to earn it .. had to make his bed .. make his own lunch .. clean his room .. put the garbage bins out .. blah blah .. i had a deduction system going as well .. if he failed to complete one designated task he got 20 cents less!!!!!! .. It worked like a dream ..

RE: Are Teeth Important In A Relationship

... only if ya bite is worse than ya bark ..

RE: Are you superstitious?

... well .. i'm not a big fan of black cats that run out in front of ya car out the blue .. or Friday the 13th (i remember once the bottom of the safeway bag split open and i spent forever in the car park trying to retrieve the oranges i'd just bought .. ) ... NOT HAPPY JAN !!!

RE: Normal women...

.. me personally, i like to take the road less travelled ... to me *normal* implies *conventional* ... i'm more the *controversial* type .. ... i'd rather be UN-boring or NON-boring .. than everyday, run of the mill BORING ..

RE: Normal women...

First up, one must define the term: NORMAL. I think the following makes a good point:

"Normal to me has no definition, people cannot say what is right and what is wrong, what is normal and what is not normal, because to them something that is normal may not be normal to others. So I believe that the word normal cannot be used to describe a whole lot of things, we are all equal, not "normal" but equal."

I think a WOMAN is what she is ...> different in everyone's eyes.

i.e. ... Eyes of the beholder thingy ...

RE: which is the best for motivation?

Which is best for motivation? Inspiration. If u are inspired, you can do anything.

RE: fake

.. there's a guy on here with a pic of Elvis Presley ... I messaged him and told him to take it easy on the hamburgers ... he pretended to be clueless, so i played dumb and wrote: "Has anyone ever told u look a lot like Elvis?" ... He wrote back .... " .. yeah, i get that a lot .. only I'm different to him though, i don't like hamburgers." ... Ya gotta laugh, don't ya?

RE: Just What A Woman Wants To Hear !!!

RE: Until love falls apart...

Totally agree .. !

R U wasting your life?

... in closing i would like to remind everyone that this thread was intended as a question to ask yourself .. to ponder whether or not you are being active enough, i.e.: r u a lounge lizard? Life is all about BEING A PARTICIPANT >>> Getting into it .. doing stuff .. being active ...

The area of exercise .. was a general one .. i.e. Do u get off ya butt and exercise for instance? I also mentioned Do u chase a social life or steer clear?

The thread wasn't directed at GYM or NO GYM ... hmmm? In anyone's language *exercise* CAN take the form of gym work .. it can also take the form of a million other things .. gardening .. walking .. blah blah blah .. the point of the word *exercise* was intended as *R U active enough*??

There was no intention of directing this thread at any area of the community .. disabled .. not disabled .. obese .. or not obese .. It was a general question, directed at ANYONE who happens to participate in the forums ...

I have personally lost a family member due to complacency, lack of inactivity .. high blood pressure .. non-interest in life's activities .. obesity .. I choose to NOT follow that path and spend my life as active and as healthy as I can possibly be .. to both increase my enjoyment of life and extend it's longevity.

I hope at least some of you have taken a look at your current lifestyle and are satisfied that YES .. you are happy with the way things are .. your life is AWESOME!

R U wasting your life?

GOOOD FOR YOU! I've never had the opportunity to ski and would love to one day ... I have a gym at home, this is convenient for me and is my choice. I work with a disabled person, and he lives a very active, fulfilling wonderful life .. so I'm well aware of that ..

R U wasting your life?

oh for goodness sake .. now i'm attacking disabled people? R U insane? I was asking people in general: R U making the most of your life? .. THAT's ALL! .. Obviously people in wheelchairs are leading productive, happy lives with the limitations that they have ..

R U wasting your life?

Keeping fit is a positive thing yes...but you can keep fit in many other ways bar from a gym involved.

I'm well aware of that, u missed this part of my post:

It is SOME people's choice of exercise and is JUST as WORTHY as ANY other exercise, i.e.: chasing after cattle on your property or whatever it may be.

I am certainly NOT pushing my beliefs on anyone .. I've mentioned a million times .. your choice of maintaining health and well being are entirely your choice .. everyone is different .. OBESITY is a big part of our society .. Those who choose to ignore the health warnings of obesity, i.e. High blood pressure etc .. will indeed lessen their life expectancy as a result ..

Your opinions on this poll are welcome .. as is everyone's .. i simply resent getting MINE shot down in flames .. particularly when it's common knowledge that EXERCISE .. gym or otherwise .. is a healthy, productive way to live your life and certainly prolong it.

R U wasting your life?

FOOTNOTE:

WE live in an obese society .. obesity is a major killer world wide .. There are far too many people who eat badly .. and do not exercise (in any shape or form) .. to make a statement like this:

instead of wasting their life and uselessly heading to the gym for exercise.

is insane and sends entirely the wrong message. Going to a gym to keep fit to maintain good health and well being should be applauded not slandered. It is SOME people's choice of exercise and is JUST as WORTHY as ANY other exercise, i.e.: chasing after cattle on your property or whatever it may be.

It's completely obserd to suggest heading to the gym for exercise was wasting your life. THAT comment is just completely ridiculous.

i rest my case.

R U wasting your life?

... misinterpretation .. that's what this is all about ... Of COURSE EXERCISE IS EXERCISE HOWEVER U GET IT !!!!!!!!!! ... YES!! Diggin in the garden = exercise .. pulling up plants = exercise ... walking to your letterbox = exercise .. OF COURSE IT IS!! ... A "fitness program" is whatever u chose it to be .. whatever gets u off that couch .. This thread was intended to get people to look at themselves, and ask *am i making the most of my life?* i.e. The question was: R U WASTING UR LIFE? It was NOT *IF you're NOT PUMPING IRON IN A GYM U ARE WASTING YOUR LIFE* ... Hmmm? Get it now???

R U wasting your life?

... no life is a waste if there is hope, laughter and good health .. 2morrow is the first day of the rest of your life .. patience ... what hides behind the next corner is anyone's guess ...

RE: Who would you be if .............

... i'd like to swap places with anyone currently on a cruise ... I wouldn't mind a week's holiday ...

R U wasting your life?

CoOL.

R U wasting your life?

Could i just point out to everyone this poll was NOT intended to dictate to anyone what IS or ISN'T a wasted life. Everyone's idea of a happy, fulfilling lifestyle is different. My intention was to make people THINK about the question and perhaps ask themselves ... *AM i happy with my life as is?* and if not, how could i improve it?

.. also .. whether or not u chose to get off ur butt and do stuff (whether it's exercising to keep fit or trimming the roses in the garden) .. is completely YOUR choice .. and always was .. and always will be ...

R U wasting your life?

... I was making a generalization regarding ALL WORK and NO PLAY isn't a good balance in one's life .. However, if you totally love your job and gives you emotional and intellectual joy .. that's fantastic ... U have a work/play balance at your work .. that's great, not a lot of people do. Workaholics generally work merely to earn the almighty dollar or just to keep their boss happy .. denying themselves a good, balanced lifestyle. As for keeping fit, there are a million ways to do it .. hiking and gardening, take the dog for a walk etc .. there is also exercising in the gym .. it's a life choice and everyone has a right to make the choice that suits them ...

R U wasting your life?

=

UR wrong ... Early demise IS directly related to your fitness levels .. if you are overweight, obese and DO NOT exercise, u are a classic candidate for a heart-attack ... that's a fact ... slagging off at people who go to a gym (lift weights etc) to maintain a healthy lifestyle is both immature and quite ridiculous. You are entitled to your opinion, but it's definitely ill-directed.

RE: Name Your Whinge

... yeah, right.. I'd be laughin as well .. if i had feathers !
