Ah, I missed that, soz...
I'd kind of given up on following what was being posted as suddenly someone began posting endless tomes without clearly defining titles by making them bold, which didn't make it inviting to read through it.
I see that has stopped so I'll catch up on the last posts :)

I'm not a big Ryan Philippe fan either. The bloke can't help it, hihi, but it's that he took over season 6 of Strike Back and I wasn't happy that Stonebridge and Scot characters weren't there anymore.
Apart from that the new crew made a mess of things so it all went t*ts up.
That's when I started disliking Philippe as well, hahaha.

The 'how do you feel' thread is FU again so posting it here, hihi.

Me's feeling a bit tired.
Had to get up a little earlier to have my teeth cleaned. I never do well when I have to hurry to go somewhere in the morning. Affects my entire day as it upsets my head (TBI).

I hope she's not going to be upset that you talk about your date openly in the forums...
Not very gentlemanly to do that...

And a good thing you met up to find out :)
Also, maybe next time don't get into hot conversation, no matter how difficult this may be for a guy.
More important to find out if you click and connect when talking about normal things.
In any case, good luck with the next one, hihi.

One Mile: Chapter One - movie 2026
I rate it an 8.

I liked it! Ending is a bit odd, but I guess it'll continue in One Mile: Chapter Two and wrap it up.

Fighting scenes are good. I never like fake looking fights.
Me thinks actor Ryan Philippe learnt a lot during his training for Strike Back, hihi.

Day 3 of my new painting.
Worked on the horse.
I'm actually quite happy with it!
Now wait and see how it works out when I add the saddle, bridle etc. etc.




Close-up of the horse....

CIA - new series, tonight's the 2nd episode.
Seems very promising!

With Tom Ellis, you know, Lucifer!

Hey?! For the first time in months, likely half a year or maybe longer, I can see ALL the emojis again!?!

Not a movie, but I watched the series (1 season) 11.22.63 again.
A lovely ending. I cried

Filled in colour, worked on the shirt and chaps for the most part.
Not done with either, it's all just the very first beginning :)

Thank you, Merry!

I've started another painting yesterday. It's going to be another cowboy on a horse. I like the theme!!

Prep work took a long time but I got the very first beginning on canvas, hihi.

Got to test out my new brush for the back & foreground. Happy with it! It works as I had hoped it would.

Lots of work to do still, on everything.

Feeling good :)
Fresh & fruity after a shower and only 10 to 1 so plenty of time to work on my painting this afternoon.
And do a wash.

Snow shoveling? When approx. is that over for you there?

I sat outdoors in the sun without a coat on for the first time on Feb 25th! (last Wednesday)
Sun was really hot!
My daughter sat in a T-shirt, hihi.

This isn't the normal Dutch weather but yeah, weather has changed.

So you had 2, and you seem to suggest a lot of one night stands.
That to me is a huge red flag. I wouldn't want a man who sticks his thing into anything and anyone. I'm not interested in a man-wh*re.
To me that says he doesn't have any norms & values, isn't serious about finding love.

As for what you say... that is the old model of relating. For someone your age that would make sense as in the past those used to be the norms & values.
Things have changed. What people want and need has changed.

I personally think a large number of exes can mean something is off. But 3 is nothing unusual.
I think most everyone these days will have 3 exes.
And let's face it: that's only one more than you have!

Feeling good! ----> I started a new canvas today!
Just background work and bringing in the underpaint of the subject, but at least I got to use brushes, haha.
Took me a couple hours to get my sketch sorted but then draw it on the canvas, then... brushes and actually doing something!

Subject needs a 2nd layer of underpaint, after that I can finally get going with the real work.
Not gonna be today, maybe on the morrow :D

Ah, okay, my apologies!
It was the middle of the night (half past 1) so my brain must've been half asleep and I misread your story.
I still don't agree with spanking your kids though, nor with the bit that parenting should come with a bit of fear.
That's the old model from the time when people didn't know any better and weren't informed about consequences of their action and so on.
And in the olden days people often had a short temper because they were overworked, too tired and so on. Flogging at school etc. was also normal in those days.
But then people often worked 12-14 hours a day, 6 days a week. Quite logical they don't have time to be considerate then. They were dead tired. For me that was the generation of my grand-parents.
Over here that all changed during my parents' generation and certainly mine.
I vaguely recall being spanked once or twice by my dad but that was already odd and considered not-done.
But could be things are different over there. Different countries & cultures, and laws.

Well, what can I say... I only got some 13 years of (ongoing) intense studying of the masculine & feminine dynamics, psychology, anatomy and whatnot, and relationships, and coaching people in the subject material. Gave coaching courses about it as well. Courses I myself made. Always got excellent feedback, only had happy clients, and I have helped a lot of people worldwide.
But what do I know, hihi.
