I typically find that emails using baby, honey, sweetie and other terms of endearments, are from scammers or fakes.. excuses or reasons aside for using them.. a simple Hi, how are you? or something similar is preferable on initial contact.. I just feel that using any form of intimacy before knowing another is disrespectful, which creates an immediate distrust and wariness.. at least it does for me.. Yep; I agree with what you said and yes I would find it disrespectful too. 
No you don't NG... you're a hot sexy thang and you know it. No disrespect intended. Point being... you can sluff-off any slow-witted come-on, any day of the week, yes? What makes this site different? A person crosses the line when they disrespect me in my uniform. Don't forget; I have people to command and when someone does that; it makes me look weak and I won't be taken seriously. Out of uniform; I probably wouldn't even respond to their comments and would just ignore them. Awww, geez... there are just too many comebacks to invite you to take off yer uniform, that I choose not to. haha. You chose to post that pic on this site to gain respect?... I don't think that's really you, er... I don't think that you need it. Your insights are worthy of respect on their own. So I vote for option#2... if they don't appeal to you... disregard them. 'nuf said, eh? No; I chose the uniform pic because I am proud of it. I would hope I would be respected for who I am and not what I am wearing. I am just saying that when I do wear the uniform; I respect the people I command so I expect the same respect. Actually the uniform really is me as I have spent 40 years in a uniform of some sort. Thanks again for the kind words. Hmm... still, I feel as though I've offended somehow, yes? I wore the uniform too... Live budo. But I don't think the uniform defines you one bit. Take it off and you'll remain the same. With or without it... some of us will always have regard for those that serve. All seperate issues, imho. I was talking about you... not the colors. When a person posts their pic on a dating-site, wearing... that's one thing. But to include it in a rant when some folks don't appeciate it? Really... 40 years and you don't realize? My point was that you're a beautiful person regardless of the uniform... and all it represents. Both personally and traditionally. I don't see what it has to do with yer dating life? I'll beg off... take care. Forgive my lack of eloquence, please. |

T.. if you do that.. I'll have to divorce you... lol... I wasn't offended by your input, I was teasing you... if you can dish it out, you have to be able to take it too...  I'm never upset by the way my work is interpreted because of how I create most of it... it comes from within, and often I don't even know its true meaning until others views explain to me what they see... not a lot of people take time to give an honest assessment.. so, plz.. don't close your eyes and limit your voice...
That's very sweet... and I thank-you for it. When I studied a lil' bit of art... critique was just part of the courses. "Critique": 1) review of somebody's work: a written or broadcast assessment of something, usually a creative work, with comments on its good and bad qualities. I tend to leave the "good&bad" outta it... but I only intend to inspire.... never deminish. I was taught... reveal what you feel. Pass that along to the crafter and they may gain insight. That way the crafter can work to their own ends... when they get a vignette of other people's POV, they adjust and tweek things as it suits them. (And can still do it all with a bit of crypicism. haha) Nevertheless... while, it's important to me... yours ain't the voice, see? I hear others too... so I'll choose to limit. (just saying so to give other peace-of-mind) You can't divorce me anyway... I'm too special.  
Yes, T, I do see... I think I see some of that insanity you referred too earlier... with all the other voices you hear you might not hear mine too clearly... lol...
Your inclusion into my delusion isn't necessary... but thanks sweetie!

I'm doing well, hun... Of course I missed you!!! 
How is everything by you? 
Super!! Really they all... I've got a life full of drama, indecision and conflict. If it were something less less... I wouldn't know what to do with me self, haha. On a serious note... me mum, not so good. About to transition and I'm the one alloted to haggle with merchants of that business. Grrr... I noticed that you slipped my question regarding my intuition? Never a small thing in my world... 'Tis okay of course... but unless Chas. took it from me... my email still works. Open road.... js. (fer internet peeps... you and he, both matter. Sincerely meant.) |

Sounds awesome... nice write. The committee in my head keep humming... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LqVOP1TS5k Okay T... I had myself pretty pumped up in the fantasy of this write, then I listen to this song, and reality gets me all sad again... ya can't be goin around bustin a girl's bubble like this...  but.. I do like the song... and the feeling that goes along with it...
Well, that's what I'm here for... to fug-up your day, haha. Er, mebbe more along the lines of expresessing my preception... add a little snippet of my own, past recollections, then move on. (moving-on, being the key thing...) I'll be the first in-line to admit that my "interpretation" of another's craft is merely that... and sometimes I talk too much. But like you share what you share... I share what I share. I never mean to take away from your work... if I do, I apologize. AR, never forget that what you majic-out and show to us is your own... we, who look on just gather and glean through our own filters. If we get close; lovely. If we're far off the mark... no big deal really. Just a lesson to the crafters that sometimes, "...words have two meanings...". I think that from now on... I'll reduce my chatter to just things like.. "nice write"; "i liked it"... reduce me... praise you all. My dialouge inside of your workmanship seems distracting... Peace&Love.

I'm sure that you did do the best that you could.
But if you're a Master of yerself nowadays... I might Google ya' to take lessons. And now you tease me directly...  I like to think that I can keep myself under control when it's absolutely necessary... if I'm not my own best friend and cheerleader, who else will be...
Haha... ya' caught me in a twixt... Yes teasing... finding a bit of humor in the moment. I think that your posts and writings are a bit self-revealing. But we're all better for that... it's in hearing another heart sing out that I gain a bit of perspective anyway. I enjoy seeing other's teetering on the brink of heartbreak and insanity and personal revelation and some epiphany. Or... the conveyance of wisdom that I've never even thought about. You folks put into words what I don't have the means to do, see? (take me at my word on that) But it helps see that I'm not the only one going thru such nonsense... You, SoujourningSoul, TB, and others.(Basstet and Dict8 in the past...) are amazing to me. Must respect to all... teasing aside. 
But as one said recently... I wasn't always this way. Rock-on with yer bad-self AR... you're doing just fine. |

If this woman was someone you really want to get to know and want to send an email, it would be a good idea to call her by her screen name until she responds and tells you her name. I understand both sides of this "rant".... some people are uncomfortable with terms of endearment from strangers and some have been raised with it as a part of common speech. It bothers me when someone I have never heard from calls me "sweetie" or "my love" in a random 'form letter' type email because he hasn't taken the time to put original thought into it. Example: Hi eileena9, I just wanted to drop you a line and say what a pretty smile you have (yeah right) and what an interesting profile. Bad example: Hello my darling I was just going through profiles and your sexy smile took my breath away...I would love to get to know you my dear and maybe when can go on yahoo/skype and see more of each other. So save the terms of endearment for when you know more about each other.  Hey Teditis, mg and F&L, nice to see your sexy faces on the boards again!! Missed you, my handsome devils
You dam-sight better have missed me... I'm worth that and more!
You doin' okay my friend...? I intuit a bit of hard times in you? |

idk... seems to me that some folks have different meanings of what love is and how they show/receive love. To some it's the very romantacized version... something traditional. Long-term commitment is often envolved. To other's it's something less traditional; very passionate and often short-lived. Many people might say something akin to "love thy neighbor", but if they told the person living next door that they loved them... the neighbor would go run away. Two people, with two very different but both equally valid definitions might confuse the other, no? Expectations of "I thought that you loved me and this would last forever!" Versus expectations of, "I loved you very much then and still do today... but I'm seeing someone else right now; we're very happy together... I thought you understood that about me?" I'd say... like I have before, "See everything, overlook a great deal, correct just a little. Know yerself... learn the other. Make your choices. Be true to yerself always... no matter how much it hurts. Aaahh, I always enjoy your brain tease, T… how can love really be defined? and how can we really put limits on it? how do we mere mortals have the power to control it… it is what it is… we live it… we breathe it… it becomes us… it can be our armor… protecting us from harm… it can be our weakness… break us with its charm… it can string us along… and we freely cling to it… it can make us want to die… and it can make us want to really LIVE… it can take… and it can give… We are but pawns in the arms of love… And yes… it can make us gloriously happy… and it can hurt us more than anything else on this earth… I can only pray that if the gift of love finds me again one day, my heart will welcome everything that it knows goes along with the risk of accepting and returning it…  
Not that I ever knew you... but you sound wiser today than you were in your youth.

I hear a lot of people these days complaining about drama. I thought there was good drama...and bad drama? Why ditch the drama all together? Isn't drama in almost everything in some shape or form? Isn't it dramatic to be in a relationship no matter what? Drama Kings/Queens....what is your definition? Awesome post/question! I think people often use common, modern parlance to shorten converstaions... expecting everyone else to have the same definitions. "I don't wnat any drama"... "I have no baggage", whatever seems to be common on these sites. Personally, I find it irritating because it begs definitions... and I don't want to go around spending time and energy comparing/contrasting definitions. I guess bottom-line is that when I hear people using phrases like that... I just move on. Since, to me they're non-sensical, that's my first clue that there will likey be other miscommunications down the road. "Drama Kings/Queens"? That's another issue... to me that refers to people who operate in a lifestyle of highly charged emotional daily interactions... some folks operate well in that, even thrive. I avoid them like the plague. |
