RE: Are All of Santa's Reindeer Female?

Only tongue in cheek darlin!

RE: If u don't mind

Thanks Craig, hope yours is safe and wonderful too!

RE: It's so interesting

Yes of course. Communication is 80% body language, so how can words fully reflect who we are? It does give an indication though...

RE: It's so interesting

Absolutely. I was referring to initially getting to know each other.

RE: It's so interesting

Yes I DO think exactly that. Confidence is a very attractive trait. Sometimes men make the mistake particularly when they're in a group of preening, and trying to outdo each other, and that doesn't work that well with women!

RE: Are All of Santa's Reindeer Female?

Hmmmm. Interesting theory. I think it makes sense particularly because the male reindeer would get ole Santa totally lost because of their refusal to stop and ask for directions! Of course some of them could be gay! Prancer and Dancer sound very suspicious...

RE: It's so interesting

Hmmm. We're all a complex mixture of good and bad and that's what makes us so interesting!

RE: It's so interesting

Of course flirting can be fun... but there's a fine line I guess. I don't think there's any one DEFINITE way of getting someone else interested in you... It is to do with whether or not you click and have chemistry, and that's that. You can do cartwheels and backflips but if there isn't that spark, there's nothing you can do. That's why I think being yourself rather than putting on a mask is imperative. Inevitably, the person will see through you... and discover who you really are.

RE: Who uses Facebook?

I'm on it to stay in touch with friends and family around the world, but am pretty hopeless actually. I only go on once a week if that. I find reading the petty details of most people's lives pretty boring (and wouldn't want to subject others to mine either) but it is a good way of keeping your finger on the pulse!

RE: If u don't mind

Hello Yucel! Nice to know people's names!!!

RE: If u don't mind

Heather... ello everyone!

RE: Stuff.... Beyond imagination

SNAP!

RE: Stuff.... Beyond imagination

Murphy's Law!

No, actually I think it is the universe telling us: 'Listen, you need to get more organised and discliplined!'

RE: How often do you send SMS messages?

I mostly text but actually far prefer chatting. It's just that chatting costs a whole lot more! The thing with communicating via sms is that words can be misinterpreted.

RE: Do you believe the IM will be available in a few weeks?

Yes, it is a lovely pic Christmas! Nice to see you too Doberman!

RE: Do you have to marry to be in a commited relationship?

Funny, the chap I've been seeing and I were talking about this last night because we're going to my nephew's wedding on Saturday. When I was young I used to go to weddings and wish that someone loved ME enough to make those vows. These days I listen to the words and think the sentiments are great, but even though I think the bridal couple means it with all their heart and soul when they repeat those vows; I think that it is impractical and extremely unlikely that you can make a commitment for LIFE! Renewing the vows every 5 years may be a better option! Choosing to be with someone out of your own free will and not because you have vowed to stay with them, is a much more realistic option in my view.

RE: ~How much it taks to stay patient? ~

It is a life skill we should all learn. I don't believe it's good to hold onto anger (it eats you up inside), but I think it needs to be let out in a controlled fashion. I don't easily get angry - it's pretty pointless I think and just makes you feel bad about yourself afterwards. If I lose my temper, I apologise. Usually it's when I'm cross or unhappy about something and once I've looked inside and acknowledge what that is, I can let it go. I dislike it when people direct their anger at other people... To me it indicates a lack of self control.

RE: When Do You Stop?

Yes, I agree... My sons have only been introduced to one guy almost 2 years ago I had been seeing for over 2 months, and it wasn't my choice... I happened to be having lunch with him when my ex phoned and said he had to leave this school fair and I should pick them up later! My elder son handled it well, but the little one was very upset. I've been seeing someone lately and like him but it will need to get a lot more serious before I'd even think about introducing him to my boys.

RE: Do u

We had to learn Afrikaans as a second language in school, which is like ancient Dutch. I also studied French for a while and can speak a tiny bit - unfortunately had no one to practise on so most of it has gone! I'd love to learn Italian!

RE: Do you believe the IM will be available in a few weeks?

Hmmm. Maybe that's why it stopped working??!!!

RE: Do you like cats?

Hmmm. Well, I've known men who loved their cats! I like them too but prefer em larger and wilder, especially tigers. I'm definitely more a dog person. Having said that, when I was a kid we had a cat family we were all crazy about. They were so relaxed we could push them around in our doll prams! The one cat I've had since simply doesn't compare.

RE: whom would you like to hang the MISTLETOE over ....

Good grief! After that comment, I had to open up that pic to take a look - it was a bit misleading at first!!!

RE: how did you end your last relationship

It's so sad. It's always the poor children who have to bear the brunt of it. I hope you do get to spend time with them over Christmas.

RE: Add A Letter Thread>>> Lets make some Words

Ha! Methinks we need the Thread Author to clarify!

RE: how did you end your last relationship

Cheeky sod! So you've been hedging your bets on here in the meantime?!!! Good luck for the weekend. Be gentle and kind.

RE: how did you end your last relationship

Not at all funny. I hope you have been able to move on and leave this behind you though.

RE: Add A Letter Thread>>> Lets make some Words

I am lost!!! Do I have to start over again with your Y? where does one word end and another begin?

RE: christmas plans

I'm going to join my boys (and the ex unfortunately) at a seaside town and have Christmas dinner with my ex-in-laws!!!! They ARE very dear but could do without the ex!
