We are an invasive species, we will invade space and play the victim when some other worldly beings try to protect themselves. It's not only the American way, but the human way.

Does this and that include sitting in a rocking chair on your front porch shaking your fist and yelling at people to stay off your lawn? I can't wait to get a house with a yard so I can do that. Hell, I might not even wait to get a yard, I'll just sit outside my door and do it. I live on a cul de sac, so, sadly, I don't get much opportunity to chase people off the lawn. That's a shame. You can still walk around in your robe just yelling at yourself while drinking a cup of coffee. |

Okay, we've had a few wonderful love stories of late from members, I'm going to share another one. No, not about me, I am still sodding around with putting my dating shoes on, or not, hihi. My daughter... when it comes to love it has always been difficult. Abusive and/or unavailable boyfriends and partners. The one she left behind was abusive as well, verbally, physically, emotionally. When she came back to Holland the pattern of attracting unavailable men kept repeating, including with the last guy. But... then something happened that was deeply emotional and it brought them together. It helped him to open his eyes and his heart. They're now very happy, and she's moving in with him this week. I am SO happy for my girl as for the first time EVER she now has a man who is good to her, cares about her, loves her and has committed to her. And for the non-believers who say that you can't find love via an online site; they met on Tinder. I keep hearing more and more about couples that met on Tinder btw. All that happened in a short time-span at that, some 4 months. Go figure how important it is to have strong bonding moments, EXACTLY what Matthew Hussey and other dating coaches are always talking about. It does NOT have to take forever to get from A to Z. If the click is right, the bonding is there, it can go real fast. It's rare but does happen that people change. Hopefully this is one of those rare cases where he really has changed. Seems things are moving fast, but that's not always a bad thing. I hope what they have is real and what they both deserve. It can indeed happen. And she has the advantage that she has mommy who knows a helluva lot of ins & outs when it comes to relationships & dating, how to go about it and so on. I have given her advice on a few occasions (she asked me) She's a smart woman and picked up on it real fast, haha. It's no surprise that she's smart, I bet she gets that from her ma'ma. ;) |

REALLY SEEKING MATE???????

A mate to me is someone you choose to procreate with. I'm done making children, so I'm not looking for a mate. I'm not even really looking for a companion, but I'm open to something more along those lines.

That is of no use as one day truth comes out by itself and it is clearly visible when it comes out, lying never helps and those who do it are maybe unstable mentally. Sadly, lying does help people to manipulate and get what they want. Sometimes it comes back to bite you on the azz, but not always. OP: The world is full of sociopaths who will lie, charm, and manipulate to get what they want. The internet has been a breeding ground for this type of behavioral disorder. All you can do is fine tune your bull$h!t detector. Every creature lies to some extent. It can be beneficial to survival. Example, a dog will manipulate you for food or a treat by acting hungry or affectionate to get attention or food. Spiders will entice their victims to get trapped in their webs, even flowers will lure victims to be trapped and eaten by them. I think there are more and more sociopaths, habitual liars, etc. I'm not so sure if the internet is to blame or if it just brings them out more. Although I suppose many would find it much easier to lie to a monitor than to a real person. Maybe it is the ease of communication we have now a days, maybe it's other things, perhaps a mix of everything. Whatever it is, like you said, all we can do is fine tune our BS detector. I think it also depends on what we define as a lie. Not everything inaccurate or untrue is necessarily a lie. |

Getting Married

Thank You all I never knew he felt this way about me until about a week ago. We have been through all our combined marriages, bf/gf, custody battles and more together. Leaning on each other but, one or other was always in a relationship, marriage or both. He said "I'M TIRED OF THIS, I LOVE YOU. WE ARE BOTH SINGLE AT THE SAME TIME NOW. WILL YOU MARRY ME! I thought he was kidding. He started to cry and told me he has left this way for years and promised himself he would never marry again unless it was to me. I didn't know what to say. I knew I LOVED HIM TOO. I had since we were 18. So I finally said yes. He knows about all my friends here even the guys I talk to on the phone from here that I have become friends with. He knows everything about me. Thank you all for the warm wishes. I will still be around and he knows that too. I am just not looking. I will be here in the forums at least until we get married. You are a great group of net friends. Poetry thank you Brother. You have a heart of Gold. Keep Flying High. Funny how we always go looking for what's right in front of us. I have a friend where it's kinda like that too. IDK if she likes me more than a friend, but either we are both in a relationship or one is single and the other is in a relationship. I kinda hope things turn out the same way for us. Maybe I'll get in touch with her and see what's going on with her. If not, at least it was a nice thought. lol |

how should i respond?

first date went great, kiss at the end, and then she kinda went cold over the text the next week, keep being iffy about setting up the next date. so i ask her bluntly- i might have blow it with you but i wanna see you again soon, do you wanna make plans? her answer- yeah let's arrange something soon. my response- i could travel to you this time, tit for tat (she traveled to me last time) and she's read it and hasn't responded. how long should i wait, what should my next response be? i just feel like writing 'if you're just being polite and not really feeling it, please let me know. i prefer direct answers.' If she's into you, you'll know. I think you know she isn't, but you kinda wish she was. Move on. Some times things happen that aren't our fault. First date may haven been perfect, but she may not be the one. Maybe the next one will be a better catch. |

Any Linux Users?
|
|
I have been using Linux in many different forms now for the better part of 19 years and have seen it progress from something that was so difficult to setup and use, to something that (if you get the right distribution) can be as easy as Windows to use. I would be interested in connecting with other Linux users or people that are just interested in knowing more about this Operating System. I just have had a bear of a time finding people that are actually interested in it, mostly because it still thought of as a hobbyists operating system, you need to know computers in order to actually use it, and you need to know something about programming in order to get it to run right. All myths that while true in some instances and with some distros might not fit with all of them. I am just rambling now but I would like to meet people that are interested it and explore it with them. I've used a dual boot with Windows 10 and Lubuntu. Windows became corrupt and it looked like there was physical damage to the HDD, according to Windows, but I reformatted and just have Linux on it now and the HDD is still in perfect condition. My only regret is not just using Linux sooner. I grew up on Windows, then I explored different variations of Linux. I could never fully part with Windows more so for sentimental reason, but I wasn't heartbroken when I had no other choice. |

It takes me about three, if I can get my cola and a few smokes, otherwise it can take much longer.

The sun will come out...tomorrow. Better bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow, there'll be sun... Suns out now it feels good, finally warming up a little, still kinda chilly but tolerable now. I should at least clean the car, but I really don't want to. Maybe after I smoke I'll do it. I should get it done while the weather is decent. I've been shivering all day, still am even though it's getting warmer. I hate winter. I shake like a little ankle biting chihuahua all winter. |

My estranged wife used to do that stuff some years ago. Messed her up big time, as if she didn't already have enough mental and emotional issues. It might just be that it affects different people in different ways, but from my experience you're better off staying away from it. Nasty stuff. As for Mary J, I don't think there's ever been a whole lot of serious research done on it in the past? Anecdotal evidence seems to indicate that it helps some people with some medical issues. Fine. But from what I've seen over the years it makes people, well, dopey-and exacerbates some existing issues (such as alcohol dependence). Personally, though, I think the Feds outlawing it is ridiculous. Actually I think all drugs should be legal for adults. Adults have a right to make their own decisions, even bad ones. If drugs were legal, they would have to find another way to profile and keep the private prisons in business. Making drugs illegal has worked pretty well for them. "Legalizing" weed on the state level is just setting them up, but then again there is a lot of money in it, so they may have shot themselves in the foot on that move, like with alcohol and tobacco. It's not about taxing the drugs either, it's about who has more money, the private prisons or the dispensaries. I don't think the government itself is too concerned about drugs, they have other ways to fulfill their agenda. |
