Posted: 3/25/2005 7:39:41 AM | Good Morning:)
I just want to say yesterday, when I chose to enter this thread it was merely to answer
the question at hand (With One Post) to state "My Personal Opinion" To Share "My Personal Prefrence" {KEY PHRASE: "MY PERSONAL OPINION"} Not for the purpose or anticipation of
cross examination due to the fact there is no correct or incorrect answer it is solely opinion
based. Whether one has formed their opinion based on previous education, experience, legalities or moral and religious beliefs would be totally illrealivent considering that each case
would be different with it's own unique circumstances.
Warm Wishes To All,
Misty/Spoiled Princess | |

Posted: 3/25/2005 11:38:41 AM | You people are making me dizzy here. How did this question become a RELIGIOUS one. I would date a seperated person. Why not. I'm not sure why people on this thread are bashing people who are seperated. They are making them out to seem like losers. Give me a break !!! They just have a failed marriage. Everyone has failed at a relationship at one time or another. I doesn't make you any less of a human being. I'm sure they will be stronger for it. I can understand why some people would be worried about entering into a relationship that is on the rebound. Not every one who seperates wants to return to their partner. Often times both are in agreement and just want to move on with their lives. That means dating other people. They have a right to be happy. Don't we all.  | |

Posted: 3/25/2005 2:54:00 PM | i've dated separated people, and knowing me, i'll do it again...even though i recently had my heart broken by a separated man.
he went out in the dating scene too quickly, i guess. we got attached, she found out, she suddenly claimed she wanted him back and threatened to make his life a financial hell at the same time, so we parted ways. was i a rebound? possibly, but i don't think i'll ever know, or care to.
yes, dating a separated person is risky, but the risks are sometimes worth it. and, as someone stated in this thread before, you run the risk of heartbreak with anyone who's been in ANY long term relationship. | |

I leave this site for ten minutes and the whole place goes to hell after it slowly dies!
Do I have to kick-start it again?
Late, DO something!!!

Posted: 3/25/2005 8:49:15 PM | You asked, so figured I'd post the answer to your who was Orphes question O:
Orphes was a minstrel who used his music to incite Bacchus’s Bacchae, he also lured other unsuspecting people into Bacchus cult which was why he was not made a Bacchae himself. He tried to lure Hercules and his friends, who then managed to almost make Lilith a Bacchae, before Hercules found a cure and helped him and his girlfriend Eurydice escape.
Despite his attempt to escape Bacchus, he could never leave him completely for fear of loosing his gift of music, which Bacchus gave him and the fame he became addicted to. He recruited Bacchae endangering Eurydice many times, before she finally saw him for what he was. Unfortunately Eurydice found out too late and was killed by Bacchus. :)
Does that answer your question?

Posted: 3/25/2005 8:57:47 PM | Misty, I tend to agree with you, totally. It's based on the unique circumstances and how one would feel about dating someone who was separated, instead of divorced -- as well as how one is raised and what influences they had in their lives, whether it be educational influences, legal or moral/religious beliefs. It's purely a personal situation, and no one answer is correct or incorrect.

Posted: 3/25/2005 10:36:37 PM | Well Angel...
THAT is a good definition for O-R-P-H-E-U-S (in the underworld?) but not for Orphes, and not for Orpheum either...
"Orphes" goes way, way back..
WAY back.
But, nice try.
BTW, I think the Late and Sarita will make a good couple.
* Excuse me... but I am a bit emotional when it comes to romance. It gives me a good feeling right here where it counts, in my heart. Anyway, I hope it all works out well for those two. Good luck Late and Sari.

Posted: 3/26/2005 2:10:20 PM | After reading through pages and pages of this thread, I couldn't help myself any longer.
I am separated, and dating a separated women. Both of our stories are different, but we found ourselves turning to each other for things we were missing in our lives.
She is catholic, with "divorce" papers signed and sitting in her drawer for 5 years. Whether they are still legal at this point or not is debatable, but she had nothing better to go to, and didn't want to ruin her kids lives so she didn't do anything to her lying cheating abusive husband. That's until I showed her what she is missing.
On the other hand, my wife and I were "stressed" apart but work, child, expenses, and lack of communication. Lame all around, and after a year of marriage, and individual counseling, nothing is working.
So I find myself in the arms of my new friend, and we share our pain, and discover new things. Unfortunately, while she is done with her husband, I can't say the same. So while I have not had relations with my wife for years, yes several years, I, up to very recently have been faithful, according to my vows, but when she pushed me out of the bedroom, and house, I was lost, heartbroken.
My friend and I found each other, and found we were so similar, Aries, in our late 30's, love intimacy but were starved. And for the last few months, on a weekly or biweekly basis, we have managed to see each other, and get lost in the most amazing passionate intimacy a man and woman can experience. Amazingly we both accept the limitations of our lives, yet we go ahead knowing we will grow more close, with the chance of not being together. This act of love, falling into love, dangerous as it may be seems so pure, it was worth any of the hurt that comes along.
So dating someone separated can work if all the cards are on the table. | |

Posted: 3/26/2005 2:35:32 PM | There are several and the one I was referring to, is spelled 'Orphes', not Orpheus. If you specify which time period, maybe that would assist others in knowing which one you are referring to?

Between 5000 and 8000 years BC, pre-history North Africa. It has to do with culture carried not by writings, but by word of mouth.
Similar to the Native American culture kept records.
NO more clues...!
If you can solve this kone, you will be ready to solve the most difficult of math questions ever asked. Simple, yet exceedingly difficult. It took me seven years to solve the math question and nobody helped me with it either, and I've only found two others who could do it. I won't give it to you until you can figure out the first test--- by yourself.
I DO admire your tenacity girl, and also your compulsion to research. Are you a librarian.

This stuff all derived out of a little club I'm associated with.
It's acronym is called "MENSA". | |

Posted: 3/26/2005 5:07:19 PM | WOW Orphes1....that's Awsome...your intelligence is defiently admired
The Meaning of Mensa
Mensa is an international society whose only qualification for membership is a score in the top 2% of the general population on a standardized intelligence test. The word mensa has a triple meaning in Latin of mind, table, month, which suggests a monthly meeting of great minds around a table.
The Founding of Mensa
Mensa was founded in Great Britain in 1946 by two English barristers, Roland Berrill and Dr. Lionel Ware.
Internationally, 100,000 members represent more than 100 countries. As of March 31, 2004, American Mensa had 52,398 members.
The Founding of American Mensa
American Mensa was founded in 1960. The first meeting took place on September 30, 1960, at the Brooklyn home of Peter and Ines Sturgeon with five other members attending.
By 1963, the organization had grown to 1,000 members. As of March 2000, there were approximately 47,000 members of American Mensa. Its headquarters is located in Arlington, Texas.
The Purposes of Mensa
Mensa has three purposes, which are outlined in its constitution. They are:
1. To identify and foster human intelligence for the benefit of humanity.
2. To encourage research into the nature, characteristics, and uses of intelligence.
3. To provide a stimulating intellectual and social environment for its members.

There are a few interesting ventures in and among members, but for the most part, it involves only association and/or standing membership, as is with Honor society, but not a great deal more. I have two friends who have attended the meetings and they were bored shitless. I would be too. Honor society has fewer requirements, and I suppose it's a lot more fun to attend the meetings. I didn't join the Honor Society when they sent me the paperwork because I was not intending to be looking for a job, and I had no plans to further my education anyway. I do find the MENSA part to be as boring a heck for the most part, except for some of the little quirky things, such as studying the relationships between finite and infinite descriptions, resolutions, and non-descriptions, etc. For example, realizing that there is no such reality as anything endless, that there is no such thing as, for example, a "straight line", and the determinable reasons why. FANTASTIC study!. It's all relative crap , of course, but fun. So are the endless studies of "shifting sands psychology and philosophy", although the latter at least can be proven now and then. Well, except for perhaps "false truth".
I believe that "Ron the writer" may be in the top 2%. I may be wrong, too. But he certainly is no mental malfunction, that's for sure. I am here because I enjoy meeting some of the minds here, and I enjoy reading all the contrarious ideology and organized confusion. It is the essence of what makes life interesting. Whatya think?

Posted: 3/26/2005 9:14:22 PM | Thanks, Larry, but because I belong to Mensa doesn't make me a mental giant. IQ tests according to Dr. Wayne Dyer are labels that test makers designed in order to make money. Despite the fact that a person can score high on an IQ test doesn't necessarily make him a genius. Our genius is within ourselves. I know a number of Mensans who are pretty stupid.
I also know other Mensans who are, without doubt, brilliant. | |

Posted: 3/26/2005 9:54:05 PM | Sarita: Intellect doesn't necessarily go hand-in-hand with professional success. Most of the intellectuals I've met through Mensa, Omni, and other places, are self satisfying, meaning they have the ability to live within their heads. And I know that those who don't understand this will probably want to supply negative comments, but it is, never-the-less, true.
You don't have to be intelligent to be professionally successful. You have to be persistent and able to keep to singleness of purpose. Some of the most successful businesses in America are run by average people.
I don't mean to down play your comment, just to point out that the lady you mentioned may be extremely happy because of her intellect and doesn't need the accolades of peer groups or others to make her life meaningful. She is self satisfying within her own brain, within her self. Wealth and position may be insufficient for her because she has attained success within herself. | |

Posted: 3/26/2005 10:58:43 PM | No, I'm not! However, I teach and anytime I can learn something myself, it makes me a better teacher to those I teach. I think you should read it yourself, as I believe you have it a bit mixed up. http://www.georgetown.edu/faculty/jod/apuleius/norena.lang.html and the language is punic.

Posted: 3/26/2005 11:47:51 PM | I believe your spelling is incorrect, if you're talking about what I think you might be talking about.
There is a misconception that, for the ancient Greeks, Egypt was a distant, remote, and unfamiliar country. However, all of the information we have from ancient authors gives us the exact opposite picture, which is that Egypt from the most ancient times was open, known, and familiar to the Greeks. And, as in Greece, the gods of the Greeks ruled, got married, and quarrelled. As a matter of fact, the first mortal king of Egypt was Minas (or Minos) who, first, according to Diodorus Siculus (I. 89. 3), near lake Moiris (of Egypt), "... having constructed his tomb, placed a quadrangular pyramid on it and constructed the much-admired labyrinth." Hence, from this particular Minos (the generic name for all Cretan kings of that period), both the pyramid and the labyrinth -- a particular element of Minoan civilization -- go to Egypt.
Even Perseus, who was born and lived his first years near the Helleniko pyramid -- built by his grandfather Acrisius and his grandfather's brother, Proetus -- appears (according to Apollodorus to have visited Africa and Ethiopia. There are many other instances in which Greeks, before the Trojan War, and even earlier, visited Egypt and spread the "holy word," which was none other than Greek knowledge. Orpheus, in the Argonautica (verse 43), says: "In Egypt, the holy word I taught." According to Diodorus Siculus, Orpheus did his teaching two to three generations before the Trojan War, that is, around the end of the fourth millennium, B.C. The fact that Greece's civilization pre-dated Egypt's is attested to by the Egyptian priesthood during the so-called "historical" period. There exists ample Egyptian archival documentation, compiled by Egyptian priests, concerning the pre-cataclysmic civilization of Greece, which shows that the level of Greece's civilization was ahead of Egypt's by a minimum of one millennium. In Plato's Timaeus, for instance, we are told that the Greek lawgiver, the wise and revered Solon, "'... was held in great esteem [by the Egyptians], and, when he attempted to "'... draw them on to discourse on ancient history,'" was told by one of them the following: "'O Solon, Solon....[t]here have been, and there will be many and divers destructions of mankind....And when the Gods purge the earth with a flood of waters, all the herdsmen and shepherds that are in the mountains are saved, but those in the cities of your land are swept into the sea by the streams; whereas in our country neither then nor at any other time does the water pour down over our fields from above....[A]nd when ... like a plague, the flood from heaven comes sweeping down afresh upon your people, it leaves none of you but the unlettered and uncultured, so that you become young as ever, with no knowledge of all that happened in old times in this land or in your own.'" And the old priest continued: "'For verily, at one time, Solon, before the greatest destruction by water, what is now the Athenian State was the bravest in war and supremely well organized also in all other respects. It is [written] that it possessed the most splendid works of art and the noblest polity of any nation under heaven....[A]nd I will tell [you], both for your own sake and that of your city [Athens], and most of all for the sake of the Goddess [Athena] who has adopted for her own both your land and this of ours, and has nurtured and trained them, -- yours first by the space of a thousand years... and after that ours.'"
Is that what you're referring to? Note, the name is spelled differently than your usage of it. | |

Posted: 3/27/2005 12:45:20 AM | Well, I sure am glad this forum about dating a seperated person has switched from topics of religion to the subject of IQ's. I can see the connection there. I generally don't believe that an IQ score is accurate, although I would like it to be. About 4 years ago, I took an IQ test with a friend as part of a stupid bet. It was run by the website www.internationalhighiqsociety.org. I scored a 148 and they classified me as a border-line genius. What a compliment. But I asked myself how could I be remotely considered as a genius seeing that I only graduated from high school. Is it possible that I was born with this information. I don't think so. But I am now a proud member of there organization and have a fancy certificate to prove it. So is it possible that IQ scores are bogus and have no meaning in the real world? I believe so. What does everyone else think?

Posted: 3/27/2005 11:05:57 AM | wait, did anyone ever answer his question on where orphes came from?
maybe he closed his account because he realized no one is as smart as him?
on second thought, he thought that already, huh?
ok, i'm with jenza...he's heart broken | |
