I've been on here since last November and since that time, I have had one(just one) face to face...while he is a very nice guy, he was just not what I am looking for. I have also had the great fortune to gain a few new friends(just from the forums).. On-line dating does take effort and weeding out, but you can find that special someone. It is as much work as it is being out there, but you do have to put forth the effort and really work hard at it or you will be left out in rain, alone...Good Luck!
HI to all of my friends....I am still alive and well, just getting ready for my first "Juried" art show. Talk to you all soon...
I got an e-mail from a friend I hadn't heard from in a while Plus, soon some of my art work will be going into a gallery show, the first of June. My first one(and this show is by invitation only)!
I am first, a parent to my children(32 and34)...they don't want me to be their friend, yet my daughter treats me as one. When they were growing up, being the parent was most important to guide them...now that they are grown, they want me as a friend and once in a while as a parent that they still need.
I have seen someone that just wanted to be their children's best friend. He did everything in his power to do everything they were doing(even the wrong). He never guided them and never encouraged them. They often turned on him and told him they didn't want his friendship, but he didn't listen and their relationship became strained.....It doesn't work....
Children need parents to be there, guide them in the right direction and to give them a good solid foundation to build their lives upon. All we can do is do our job and hope for the best.
I don't know about the British Isles, but I do know that the Western slope of the Rocky Mountains is the same way...two seasons...but a wonderful place to live. I miss it.....
Got a lovely card from a friend...... Yesterday, two little girls gave me some of their artwork from school! Tomorrow, Lunch with someone I am mentoring..... Ain't life grand?
I quit looking.....got other things to do right now. If he happens along, then great, if not, that's fine too. Life is too short to waste on "what if's"
Warm weather is here again! Now, if the gas prices will stop going up, maybe I can get out and about...time to have some fun...meet some new people(yeah right...not in this small town)
Sail, where I live, we have a couple of second hand shops, but you really have to look carefully for the good finds. Once in a while I go and take a look, but don't always get anything. Always in the look out for nice picture frames though(cheap). they can be fun. My parents are always going to them and finding great things. they found a flat screen monitor for $5.00. Got a de-humidifier for their home(new) for free(it was too small for the house it was bought for). They go very early...if I go, it is later and if I am already out. You just never know what you will find...and it can be a fun adventure!
Sellers do have a bit of protection, but you are right, if the buyer is not happy in anyway, with the product, they get a full refund, including the shipping for returning the item(if they ask for it).
Two years ago, I cam across a lot of fine jewelry and got it for $125.00 American...the total value was over $1500 American. I sold enough of it to pay for the lot and kept some(some for gifts).
My most recent deal is a web can(infared) for $2.00. In the stores, the least expensive is $20.00....
I have been on there for about 3-4 years and get great deals on all major purchases.
Just be real careful because some charge too much for shipping, but the price of the item is low. You don't want to deal with those.....
It sounds like you are categorizing people as a whole instead of seeing that it is a few that act this way. I think most of us don't even look at color or nationality. Those true to heart are the ones that only see inside of a person and not what they look like.
I have never met a person that had trouble talking to me. If they did, they never said anything.
I think that you may just be looking to start an argument, but maybe not. Maybe it is you who finds it difficult. Many people find it difficult to talk with others and it is a confidence issue, but that can be over come. People are people, not matter the gender. Just relax and concentrate on making friends...the rest will come in time.
I don't care for beef, but I will take some ground turkey and ground pork, to make a burger without bread and add toppings. Also like vegie burgers....they are really good. I even prepare a portabella mushroom, like a burger and it is very good, too!
I don't care for all the sauces....but onion, tomato, a good cheese(not processed stuff) and all kinds of other stuff....
I do this everyday, without thinking about it. It is just a part of my nature.
You just never know, when you give a compliment or greeting to some one, how that will affect a person. Maybe they are going through a tough time and you little cheerful words is just what they needed to make it through.
Giving of yourself, no matter how you do it, shows how unselfish and caring that you really are.
I think that if more people realized that everyone does this in one form or another, we would all be more peaceful and united.
