RE: I'm not an alcoholic EVER...but would you date an alcoholic?

Well said Montemonte, bloody well said!

RE: I'm not an alcoholic EVER...but would you date an alcoholic?

Abso -blooming-lutely. There´s nothing quite like the wake up call you get when you see your bloke chugging whiskey for breakfast....

RE: I'm not an alcoholic EVER...but would you date an alcoholic?

I´m not waiting for "perfect", there´s no such thing. But, you have to think about what you can live with. I´ve got no problem with my bloke having a beer or two every now and again - but when it´s every night, and it becomes more important than anything else in the whole world, then that's the time to think about whether it´s actually worth it...

RE: I'm not an alcoholic EVER...but would you date an alcoholic?

Never again. My husband was an alcoholic, and it killed him in the end - he just dropped down dead at home. The saddest thing is that he was the best, absolute best man I ever met, and even though this was 30 years ago I still think about him, and curse the day he first tasted whiskey.

Vaping - is that smoking?

I always am Guzman

Vaping - is that smoking?

Exactly! It´s not smoking, and it´s not non smoking either.... anyway, I've just filled out the feedback form at the bottom of the page, and asked them to put another category in, just for us vapers If anyone else feels like doing the same, it might just happen!

Vaping - is that smoking?

that´s a brilliant idea Guzman .... so how do I do that then?

Vaping - is that smoking?

The thing that bothers me is that if I put "non smoker", then it´s just awkward to explain that I sort of do smoke, to any potential suitor. If I put "smoker", well I´m not really, am I?

RE: Electronic Cigarettes

hello! This could be fun, two Janies, in Murcia, both vaping....

Vaping - is that smoking?

I´ve been smoking and quitting for 30 years now, and one year ago I tried these new fangled e-cigs. And, one year on, I haven´t had a regular cigarette! But, which box would you tick on the profile - smoker, or non smoker. Neither is exactly right, anyone else got any thoughts on this?

RE: Electronic Cigarettes

you can buy them over the internet and have them delivered - there are loads of websites out there now. I´ve been vaping for a year now, after 30 years of heavy smoking, and I love 'em! I haven´t had a "real"cigarette since, and don´t crave one either. Although, I do keep an emergency packet of smokes in the car just in case...

Hi everyone!

Yep, me too But, as my old mum used to say, "if it looks like a kipper, and smells like a kipper, it´s probably a kippper"

Hi everyone!

Absolutely spot on Bambi007 re the "issues"thing. No-one is perfect, everyone has a flaw/quirk/issue of some sort or another, and it´s a question of deciding whether you can work around it. In my case, the guy had a problem with alcohol (the problem was he couldn´t drink enough of it, boom boom). It got to the point where his alcohol was more important than us, so clearly something had to be done. And here I am ...

Hi everyone!

Venusenvy I´m still laughing at the thought of becoming a dating expert, bless you! Not entirely sure if you´re serious, but on the off chance that you are, here goes:
1.Always trust your instincts - if something/someone feels bad, it probabaly is. Don´t hang around waiting to be proved right.
2. We all know there´s bad people out there, but that also means there´s good people out there too.
3. Don´t have a shopping list of tick boxes, and don´t go looking for long term relationships. Go out looking for fun (I don´t mean ahem, adult fun, I mean have the intention to enjoy yourself). Once you´re having fun with someone, you´ll start to look at them differently, and all the tickboxes in the world won´t change that!
4. Be open and friendly with everyone. You just never know who´s got an eye on you.....
5. Be an interesting person, and a positive person. Have hobbies, have something to talk about, have a wide range of interests, even if it´s only watching it on the telly.
6. Nothing falls in your lap. To get it, you have to go out and get it.

Does that help? I´m wondering if I should go on the lecture circuit

Hi everyone!

I downloaded the adblock thing, and it works like a charm, and really easy to do as well, thanks guys. Think the only thing I´m qualified to give lessons in though is how to get into scrapes, and how to get out of them again!

Hi everyone!

I know Dagosto, I know, but I¨m not known for sort of thinking things through - I´m more of a "let´s go for it and see what happens" type of person.

Hi everyone!

thanks everyone! Now, does anyone know how to get rid of the cs ad bot that´s busy making me feel inadequate?

Hi everyone!

Hi, I¨m new to this - I put my profile on ages ago and the good news is that I got snapped up pretty quickly. The bad news is that he "has issues" and it took me a while to figure that out So, I¨m back again - older yes, but wiser? Well, we´ll see. Anyway, here I am (don't ya just love emoticons)?
