RE: Really embarrassing story - and an all out free for all.

I was mortified....

so I had another beer

and got over it.

RE: Which would you chose? Read the general "rule"

Nice, at least it was worth the drive.

RE: Really embarrassing story - and an all out free for all.

Kissed a girl and made her scream, and not in the good way.

Apparently alchohol impedes my ability to read signals...

RE: Which would you chose? Read the general "rule"

Small town here too. I like it alot, but small towns do have their drawbacks.

6 hour drive for a concert? wow. 90 minutes is about my limit for that type of thing.

RE: Which would you chose? Read the general "rule"

Comedy or concert, can't choose... but I definately prefer small venues.


I live within 10 miles of a nascar track, but I travel about 30 miles to a small dirt track out in the country instead.

If I go to a large venue event it's more to watch the people than the event.

RE: Another ... Would You Date ...

Sure you can, people drown in them all the time,

it's called suicide.

RE: Another ... Would You Date ...

And sometimes being to close to a thing clouds our judgement.....

RE: Another ... Would You Date ...

I wouldn't choose to not date someone because they were terminally ill,

if asked for a common thread among all things I'd say they are temporary.





Additionally, I don't think I'd push other's away if I were terminally ill. If their is any meaning in life,

then their is meaning in being their for someone...in the easy parts, and the tough parts.

RE: just a thought.............

Na, picking women up on the street is tough, most of them are sober....

that's what bars are for.

RE: When Do We/Or Should Give In?

I've never been close enough to giving up permanently too say where that point would be for me.


As for trying...


The minute it's not fun anymore I stop trying

and take a break until I remember why it's fun.

RE: new here

If you're looking for someone unconcerned with appearance...

why does the quality of your picture matter?

RE: are all woman over forty playing hard to get or just like to tease ya

.......wish I knew.

RE: would you tell?

The element of heresay does make it a bit more tricky, unless I had reason believe they were just running their mouths,

I would still present her the information, but I would present it as what it is... second hand information.

RE: just wanted to say hi!

Welcome...

RE: dogs

I've had dogs mess up while chasing a running child and instead of getting hold of their pants they got hold of skin,

that wouldn't worry me to much, those dogs were not agressive.

If the child was just walking away that's another matter entirely.



If the dog is agressive towards children, I don't feel keeping him tied up is sufficient.

That keeps him from reaching children, but doesn't keep children from getting to him, and as you say...

Lot's of kids about and some will not understand to stay away from him.



The more I read what you write about this, the more level headed you seem on this topic,

and it makes me suspect this dog may well be a danger.

RE: would you tell?

Same here.

RE: dogs

Too many variables left open to say yes or no,

we're talking about taking a life,

and the safety of children.



I've seen accidental bites. I would be interested in the location of the bite, and the dogs reaction.

Was the bite on the back of the child's leg?

Did the dog stop as soon as the child cried out,

or did someone have to pull the dog off?



If it was my dog, and he intentionally harmed the child for merely invading his territory,

I would have him put down.

RE: It the reason that men often let the woman make the first move because of fear of rejection?

......

RE: part 2 what is the reason women wait and let the men make the first move

It's because they can....

RE: Men there are supposed to be at least four women to every man, more when the age goes upl

Ya, I think that's the nature of the cynic,

too beleive that everyone should be one,

and to know that they will not.

RE: It the reason that men often let the woman make the first move because of fear of rejection?

Four reasons come to mind not to approach a woman...

1) Possibility of rejection.

2) Have reason to believe she is not interested.

3) Not THAT interested.

4) Am DIS-interested.


Being approached by the woman may override all but number four.

RE: Men there are supposed to be at least four women to every man, more when the age goes upl

Only takes three out of four women being sick of us to balance the scales,

we can cover that spread before our feet hit the floor in the morning.

RE: If you saw yourself through my eyes

Very well put,

I have seen, and been seen that way,
I've tried relationships with less,
I won't be trying another one that way,
will likely be single a long time,
it's worth it.

True to oneself/self sabotage

Nice discussion.

Here's where I'm at so far...


Totally infexibilty is a bad thing, we are by design dynamic beings, being static is probably in and of itself unhealthy

in addition to being counterproductive to relationship building.


Core issues, the things that make us who we are, components of our character. These things are not to be tampered with for the comfort of others,

if someone shows us a flaw with our character we may choose to work on it for our own sake, but doing so to please others is just bad mojo.


Non character defining issues(checking out the waitress, swearing, table manners), these may be looked at and modified as needed,

provided it is a change we will be ok with, and if being done for a specific individual care should be taken that they generally enjoy our company,

lest we become some nearly unrecognizable caricature of our former self.

RE: The CS IM work?

Let's see if I'm keeping up ok,

So far...

We are off topic too much and should use IM's to interact with each other,

we aren't very funny, but we are quite rude.


Wow thanks for that, can't imagine how we've gotten by with out you.

RE: Photos not allowed

Yup we sure do, it was the ones with eyes,

that dog looks like a possum.

that's been hit by a car,

following a truck,

following a witch

waving an ugly stick.

RE: Saying No Thank You

I only repsond if I want to respond,

I am fine with people doing the same in return,

actually I prefer it.

True to oneself/self sabotage

Some nice food for thought here... thanks.

True to oneself/self sabotage

Thanks for the input so far, I agree...trying to please everyone is a foolish pursuit.

I'm just wondering where a healthy sense of self crosses the line to being rigid to extent of being detrimental to our own well being.
