King Edward in 1936 voluntarily abdicated the throne so that he may be with the woman he loved...and so should have Charles...
Bill Clinton was inaugarated into the Presidency....
Both men knew what their position and title meant to their private lives...there would be none! It was their duty to lead by example...which neither did...
I agree that one's personal life is their own, but not when you live your life in the eyes of the public...that is why one got to be "Prince" and all that entails...and the other "President"..and the paycheque that also came with that...
It may be unfair, but it is the life they willingly chose...they both had the option of stepping down out of public scrutiny, seems neither was willing to give up the "perks" their titles gave them in order to live as a "free man" (average Joe in other words)
This subject came up in another thread so i thought i'd start this one to remain on the subject itself and not "hijack"
When a person (like Bill Clinton) decides to take a "public office" job is it right or wrong of the public to have a say and/or judge his personal life?? (ie the Monical Lewinsky scandal)
As well...what about Prince Charles...should he have been allowed to divorce Diana and marry Camilla Parker-Bowles?

I will wholeheartedly agree that what what the general public does with their private life is their business...however Bill Clinton is not the "general public" he was the President of the United States..and knew when he took that position his life would be under "scrutiny" and therefore had a duty to live his life as such...it was part and package of being the President....
Well i didn't look at the site...I wouldn't support something like that by even going in there to look...
First off a sane intelligent woman would not use that as a tool to assist in choosing a potential partner...I certainly would not want a man dating me based on what other men had said or not said about me...every person is different and what is good for one may not always be good for someone else...
Such a thing is petty and childish...and only those involved in such "games" would stoop to those tactics...so i say let them choose amongst themselves...and leave the "quality" dating to the rest of us...
**Myself personally would think those women have also shot themself in the foot...what man would date them knowing that if the relationship didn't work out they may potentially end up "posted" on a website....
Her most popular book this season was "Santa Cruise" Trace...see if you can get your hands on it...supposed to be very good...
Well both Bill and Hilary Clinton have books out...to me there life was "public" enough and i don't need to read "there" side...he already showed us how much truth there was to "his" side of the story....
Its the same with Dr. Phil..I used to read alot of his self help books until his whole family got involved in writing...now i just see it as a cash grab...
I've been reading VC Andrews since i was about 15...lol...she died quite some years back, but a ghost writer uses her manuscripts...but if you notice all of her books are of the same story line...but still great reads...
My very first book by her was "Flowers in the Attic"...I was babysitting for someone and she had the book there and i picked it up to read when the kids went to bed...and have been reading her ever since...
I'm reading a couple of true crime right now Pete...geez you're right...I have to keep looking at the photographs to remember that its not fiction i'm reading here...
Just finished Black Dahlia, Sadits and i'm reading "Suffer the Little Children" right now
Broken hearts heal....and no one has ever died of a broken heart (though they may like to think they will...)...people will "love" again...
Emotional destruction is devastating and scarring...it dictates who and what you will become in the future...it becomes part of your "make up"...but it doesn't have to be a "bad" thing...if you draw from the experience you can become a stronger person...but it is a lonely road to walk trying to heal yourself emotionally....
As part of my job i read and "review" books...I try to at least get 3 books read within the month...and i choose all different genre's of books to read...
Anyone read a good book lately they can suggest?...and tell me what you liked about it...
As well...have you "heard" anything about a good book that you are thinking of reading...
There are really no "fat" people...there are however, people that are unhappy with their weight and blame others because they feel "unloved" and "unwanted"...rather than tackle the real problem themself...
I am NOT slim/slender by any stretch of the imagination...nor do i want to be...I was like a stick until i reached my 20's...after i started having my children i put weight on and became rather "curvy"...and OMG!!! I absolutely loved it!!
I could probably stand to lose a few pounds, and when i want to i do just that...but not because i feel i will like myself better...but because it makes me feel healthier...I love myself the way i am...
I don't apologize to others for my size, they can either like it or not...not everyone eats salad...some people actually enjoy meat and potatoes!!
I don't "put" my size out there to be judged in other words...I don't have to....
I wholeheartedly agree that married people need "friends" and outlets too...I just don't think "dating sites" is the place to find them...I think there is a a more "deep rooted" problem if they go searching for "friends" online...
When my marriage started to break down...I made friends in my community...I volunteered my time at school...I called up old friends...I used to even make appointments with my family doctor...just for a "shoulder" to cry on...
When i decided to "join" a "friend" site...I fooled myself into thinking that it was just "friends" i was going to make...and for the most part i made sure that they lived far enough away that i would not be "tempted" to meet them...but our conversations were not that of "just friends"....
I work directly with the public...and every now and then without fail i will get a "meanie"...but like you Pucks...I absolutely refuse to allow anyone to spoil my day...
I always smile at people, I find that it is very hard for people not to smile back or to be grumpy to a smiling person...
Its usually women that give me a hard time...and then try to explain they've had a hard day when i don't respond to their rudeness...
Sometimes i do want to tell them that its not every day that i feel well...or that i am ecstatically happy...however since it was not their fault i decided not to take it out on them....
Each and every day that i wake up is a gift to me...and I try to live it that way...
*DISCLAIMER...."IF" you do rub me the wrong way...i can be extremely sarcastic and can put anyone in their place....
