Fair enough. Good point, maybe it's more important to look beyond the picture (whether it's there or not, or their's or not) and find out the person inside. Maybe that's an advantage to using the threads and messaging. You get to know the person inside....
I take it that you like cheesecake? Look! I just found some blueberries for those who don't like strawberries (see even desserts can be healthy - you know, fruit and all...)
Just because the picture's there, doesn't mean that it's their picture...
There may well be a reason someone doesn't post a picture, like they're waiting to get a decent one of themselves before they post it? Or maybe the cameras keep breaking, lol!
One of my sisters recently was diagnosed with Cancer. I found the Cancer care web site to be very helpful - explained stuff in plain English. She still has to go for check ups now, but the longer they go without finding anything, the better it is.
It's a good sign that they're looking at treatment, when my Dad was diagnosed - they didn't even bother, it was too far gone and they told him.
I would love to try scuba diving. Pretty well anything outdoors is fine with me. Despite the huge mosquitoes in Manitoba (and the ticks), I love the outdoors (even when it's 40 below).
I'm in for this. You get to know someone first, decide if they will be 'just friends' or if there is potential for something more between you. Then, hopefully, you discover they are someone you want to be with for a long time.
If it was the 'right person', although I would hope he would at least want to consider/discuss who should move where, I don't think there would be any question. I would need to feel pretty sure of the relationship first if that was to be the reason for the move.
A guy in glasses, I can handle - beer goggles are an entirely different matter. If I happen to go to the bar, it's usually because a really good band is playing, and I love to dance, but I still don't go very often. Extracurricular activities are not on the agenda - I'm picky who I do extracurricular with...
Bars, especially later on in the evening, because of the drunks. I seem to be a magnet for drunks in bars - they see me and decide they need to come talk to me - the drunker they are the more urgent the need to talk....
This magnet also applies to mascots - the big furry ones! This has become a bit of a joke in the family...
Probably not, just because of the possibility of them getting back together. It ain't over till it's over... It's hard enough sometimes to find a person you connect with and want to be with, enough to let your guard down and take a chance and wind up getting hurt because he goes back to his wife. Speaking as someone who's been there, done that (and got the t-shirt to prove it)I wouldn't do it again. If divorce was imminent that may change things. I just know that for myself, there are enough things that can happen in a relationship to cause problems and heartache without 'history repeating itself'. That was my problem, only you know the details of yours so I can't make that call only you can decide what you're looking for.
Define 'normal' - everyone's perception of it is different. I didn't cry when my Dad died or at his funeral, but there had been a lot of nights when he was sick that I cried myself to sleep (knowing that he wasn't going to get any better). When my step-mom died, I was in shock and functioned on auto-pilot for a number of months, still doing everything that I had always done. One day, maybe six months after her passing, something just 'gave' and I sat on the floor of my apartment and just cried for what seemed like forever. I really don't think anything is wrong with you - just keep talking with people, when you're ready, the tears will come.
I have not been on here all that long - and this is the only one that I'm on. I'm not sure what to think of a few of the people on here - I maybe tend to be a little overly-cautious as a result. For the most part, the ones I've been in contact with through the threads, etc. seem decent enough. I would hope that if people indicate they are looking for someone that they are being genuine - however, it would seem that there are always a few that have to wreck it for a lot of others.
You'll cry, when you're ready to. Everyone deals with death in their own way and in their own timeframe. I've cried a lot for my parents (mom, dad and step-mom) but that wasn't for a while. You can't guage your reactions by what everyone else is doing...It's good you're talking to us though....we're here for you.
RE: What Moves You?
I'm going to bump this back up to page 1 again. I'd like to see some more feedback in here...
