I am so incredibly happy right now. Ok, so a lot of things in my life are stressing me right now and I’m feeling forced to make decisions I am not ready to make, but I have something now that means so much more to me thanks to this site. :thumbsup:

No, it’s not a man. laugh I guess I should say it’s not a woman either for those of you with an open mind.

It really doesn’t matter to anyone but me what it is. All that matters is that something that is a major part of me, that my mother has repeatedly made me feel inadequate about, is being appreciated and complimented by others on here and I am so happy and grateful. flowerforyou

Ok… so posts are supposed to get people thinking and communicating about how they feel. So, my question to all is…

what Other than the obvious “I met someone…” (it IS a “dating” site), what else has this site done for you? spock

think E.g.:
- Helped you open up more to others
- Validated your opinions on something
- Helped you be a better debater
- Opened your mind to other ways of thinking or feeling
- etc…

A HUGE thank you to those who have made me feel this way! :banana:

When the price is right and women in their 40's are considered sexy. laugh
Want to be my agent and get me a great deal? bigsmile

That's a very good question.

I thought I had made some friends here, and in a couple of cases, I have. Very good friends.

But, on the other hand, when I was forced to go away for a month or so ( not because of a suspension..I moved and couldn't get internet service right away ) 90% of the people who I thought were friends...

Well...let's just say that no one thought to try to find out if I was even alive.

I guess, the best I can say is that this site gives me a place to vent, make smart *** posts, answer a few people's questions ( although even that is dying a slow painful death at this point ) and keep myself from going out of my mind ( what's left of it ) from sheer boredom.


Did they have your phone number and new mailing address? slaphead You can't really blame them if they only had contact with you online and you didn't have online service for a while. I'm sure they were thrilled when you returned. :thumbsup:

… And people question why I stopped dating at all about 7 years ago! grumble

I feel badly for you. It’s not much consolation, but know that you’re not alone in being jerked around by someone you cared about. It’s really awful what he did. You handled it the best way you could. The only question left is: Do you want that kind of person to have any part of your life? I wouldn’t even want him as a friend. The memories will hurt, but the pain will fade in time.

Best wished to you in moving past this horrible experience and finding one worthy of you. flowerforyou

Do you believe this to be true in a relationship?

I in fact do...


:thumbsup: 38 Special said it best in this song…

Hold On Loosely – 38 Special

You see it all around you
Good lovin' gone bad
And usually it's too late when you, realize what you had
And my mind goes back to a girl I left some years ago,
Who told me,
Just Hold On Loosely, but don't let go
If you cling to tightly,
you're gonna lose control
Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in

It's so damn easy, when your feelings are such
To overprotect her, to love her too much
And my mind goes back to a girl I left some years ago
Who told me,
Just Hold On Loosely, but don't let go
If you cling too tight babe,
you're gonna loose control
Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in

Don't let her slip away
Sentimental fool
Don't let your heart get in her way
yeah, yeah, yeah,

You see it all around you
Good lovin' gone bad
And usually it's too late when you, realize what you had
And my mind goes back to a girl I left some years ago,
Who told me,
Just Hold On Loosely, but don't let go
If you cling to tightly,
you're gonna lose control
Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in

So Hold On Loosely, but don't let go
If you cling too tight babe,
you're gonna lose it
You're gonna -- lose control
yeah, yeah, yeah Just Hold On Loosely but don't let go
If you cling too tight babe,
you're gonna loose control

Hold on Loosely, but don't let go
If you cling too tight babe,
you're gonna loose control
yeah, yeah, yeah

I was talking to my roommate and told him that the people on here were so much more interesting than the people I meet irl. He looked at me and said, "Maybe they're not... maybe they're just being THEMSELVES online."

It made me think. I'm certainly different online than in person. I'm WAY more outgoing and willing to talk to strangers.

...even cute boys...

So, how are YOU different online, if you are? And if you're not, why not?


Everyone I have met online and then offline has commented on how much quieter I am in person. On here, you’re getting to know the person. Once you’re in person with them, you can just ‘be’.

Back in March, I posted this thread about trying to salvage the hard drive from a dead Dell laptop, and I got a lot of helpful replies. Thanks to all for that!

http://mingle2.com/topic/show/208825

Well, the hard drive enclosure I purchased, a GigaWare model from Radio Shack, (literally) fell apart on me after about 5 uses. Radio Shack admits it's defective but refuses to replace it on the grounds I had it more than 90 days.

Needless to say, I will be doing no further business with GigaWare or Radio Shack.

So I've been checking out some of the other hard drive enclosures on various websites, and was wondering if anyone has had any particularly good or bad experiences with any particular ones....

Sabrent has one which got good reviews on Amazon, and it's only $12.99 (I paid $40 for the first one), but I'm not familiar with the company and could use some advice.




I always check the reviews on CNET.com before making purchases. :thumbsup:

Ginger or MaryAnn - Mary Ann

Beach or Lake - Lake

Beer or Wine - I’m not really a drinker, but about twice a year I’ll have beer

So what are some of your favorite sayings?


Some of mine include:

You can hang a pretty dress on a pig but it is still a pig.

Two wrongs do not make a right. Three lefts make a right otherwise.

You can't teach a hammer to love nails. Then again without nails a hammer has nothing to hate.

Sphincter Says "what?"

There is only one thing you can count on most people to do, The WRONG thing!!!

DON'T BLAME ME!!! HE DID IT!

And

If it is something I may have done wrong I can't recall!

There is a woman I hold so near and dear
Never met anyone like her in all my years
For myself I did nothing, for her I'd try my best
I'd do anything to try and shine above the rest
I thought I did this and it might be true
But there's one thing I did not do
Telling her everything I knew
When she asked me the first time or two
By the third time, it was too belated
Making me a liar, and now I am hated




You are not hated. I cannot care so deeply for someone one day and then hate them the next. Trust is the issue, not love or hate.

this is not a suicide note. please don't take it that way. i will be here tomorrow.

I hate to wake up
And face today
In my dreams
I wish to stay
To make this happen
There might be a way
Where in my sleep
I can forever lay
Maybe in death
I'll find this contrast
Nothing left to solve
From present, future, and past
There I can find
Eternal dreams alas
I take in one deep breath
Cause this will be my last


Emory,
The end of one thing is always the beginning of another. flowerforyou

Someday Soon ~ L. A. Reed

Let the rain fall down and cleanse my soul
And let me reach my highest goal
Let the sun come out and warm my heart
And show me how to make a new start
Let the birds soar high and sing their tune
And tell me that all will be well soon
