When did wearing pajamas in public become okay??!!??
Posted: 1/16/2012 3:34:43 PM
I would much rather see women walking around in their bra and panties, although it might wait until the spring thaw!

When did wearing pajamas in public become okay??!!??
Posted: 1/16/2012 7:25:38 AM
I can't be the only one that finds people wearing pajamas in public totally wrong.
It has become so common of late and I for one can't understand it.

It isn't only the young anymore, well I do remember when my children were babies I would sometimes transport them at night in their pajamas.
It is all age groups from the very young to the very old. I saw a whole family shopping in a grocery store recently, every last one of them had their pajama bottoms on.
I have seen a lot of elderly people wearing them too! Hmmmm

The worst thing about this is... Most people I would bet are rolling out of bed in these same pajama bottoms and then going out into public wearing them. Ewwwww
Oh I know..... Flannel manufacturers are probably behind this!
Okay that is my rant .... :)

Sobey's and Superstore are not open today!!
Posted: 12/27/2011 1:26:21 PM
I don't want to date myself but oh what the heck!
I can remember when there were very little grocery stores to be found, and they were closed Sundays and Mondays, and they were only open a couple nights a week. Imagine that!
How did people not starve to death??!!??

I would think most people leading up to the Christmas holiday do holiday food shopping. They normally stock up on everything knowing well in advance because it has been happening for a very long time that stores close Christmas day and Boxing day.
And the managers don't have a say in when the stores open. They open and close when they are told to.
I think most of the retail workers would rather have the days off than to work, so it would be a little hard to open the stores without a staff to run it, and they do get holiday pay for both days the stores are closed.
Also hardship is not having a place to put that bread and milk when you buy it, or not having the money to buy it. That is hardship.
So in closing I would suggest you mark on your 2012 calendar that on the 24th of December you will buy extra milk and bread! Happy New Year~

Travel and learning about the world !
Posted: 9/19/2011 4:33:31 PM
I have heard that about the Grand Canyon how is it such an amazing thing to see. And it really lives up to its name being GRAND.
I think Las Vegas would be a total trip to see, but thinking you would need a lot of spending money to enjoy yourself and do everything you wanted to do.
I would like to experience New York city some time but an unlimited amount of spending money would be totally necessary to do and see everything there too.
To see the broad way plays alone would be pricey but so worth it.

I haven't ever had a desire to travel the world.
I am more of a homebody and really love having both of my feet on the ground. I made one long trip in my life and that was to Nassau many moons ago.
I have only been to 4 provinces in this great country of ours. I would though really love to see the Rockies, they look absolutely breathtaking from the pictures I have seen.

School supplies
Posted: 8/28/2011 11:55:12 AM
^^^ I agree!

I know a lot of schools who do ask you to bring in money for supplies though. I think it is a great idea as it does save a lot of running around and it does make sure all the students have the same supplies. I don't think it is any type of conspiracy and think the teachers have more to worry about than how to swindle the parents out of money, or take away a child's individuality.
And if my money is ensuring that someone less fortunate is able to have the supplies then I am totally okay with that. :)

It is so hard enough being a teacher in this entitled society. I find a lot of parents think they are the experts and have so much to say. We need to be involved in our children's education but we also need to let the teachers do their job!

Schrodinger's Rapist
Posted: 3/2/2011 2:20:58 PM
I think gone are the days when members of the opposite sex approached one another on the street, or in any type of public setting. I think we are all too suspicious of each other and always think that there are ulterior motives.
It is really sad though that a smile used to be inviting and friendly but now, they must be crazy or want to take something from us. I remember the days when I would walk down the street and men would whistle or toot their horn but if a man was to do that now he would be reported to the police as a threat. I always thought of it as harmless. Was I wrong?? I don't think so.
Not everyone is out to do you harm, there are many out there that just want that simple thing called love. :)

Winter Olympics - 2010 - Vancouver
Posted: 3/1/2010 4:35:18 PM
I loved so many moments of the Olympic games and can't pick my favourite.
Ok I am lying, I was never so worked up and excited and terrified at the same time during a hockey game in my life. I went out to watch it and must say that I will do that again as it was so much fun to witness such a moment in history with a huge crowd.

And to watch it with a friend who was clueless about the sport, and when she said oh 54 seconds left we've won it!... to when I shouted at her... NOT ... you can score with less than a second left, and damn just after I said it .... well you know the rest.

I am so proud of our Athletes! Goooo Canada! :)

A personal Story and apology
Posted: 2/12/2010 9:03:19 AM
I agree totally that if you have already joined before entering a relationship, and use it for the purpose of communicating with people you have become friends with, and to participate in the forums, that is entirely different.

But to join it when in a relationship to find someone else to play with, is not a good thing.
You have to be honest with yourself before you can be honest with someone else.

p.s. For those of you who are looking for some extracurricular activities, and are married or already spoken for, please don't use the word 'honest' in your profile... EVER. lol

Posted: 2/11/2010 8:10:37 PM
I don't think the OP would be writing such a story if he was on here swapping recipes, or sport stories. I don't think he would be showing such signs of guilt either.
Sure he is a grown man and can do what he wants, but he has to be ready to deal with the consequences.
This is a first and foremost a dating site. I know many try to say it is a website for everyone, as there wouldn't be options for notsingle/not looking, looking for friends...blah blah blah.
And again it is 'Plenty of Fish, Free Online Dating'
I was married and never once did I think of joining a dating site and advertise looking for a man for friends. Maybe I am weird!

Things to do in a Snow storm...
Posted: 12/28/2009 5:31:47 PM
It is much easier to find things to do when there are at least two of you.
And having a bright light to read by is always good.
I remember one snowstorm the power went out and all I had was a chinese lantern to read by, and I had to hold it in one hand and read with the other. Not good! :)
But with the power being out and having good company with you allows you to stop.... and spend quiet quality time. :)

What makes you decide to contact someone on POF?
Posted: 11/19/2009 4:48:21 PM
OP: You will find if you stick around long enough that no matter what you post about in these forums you will find one person who doesn't like it. And that person will try to have it deleted. So you just have to take it with a grain of salt and not take it personally.

As far as who to contact I think you should contact whomever you like, but again, don't limit yourself to him being tall enough, educated enough, etc. The short high school drop out could stimulate that brain of yours, oh and also make your toes curl. :P

I was being totally serious. But Paige brought up a good point in if you list yourself looking for the same sex even for friendship you might encounter those who think you want the same sex for nonplatonic reasons. But I would rather that than list myself as seeking another man for a friend.

Posted: 11/19/2009 1:47:27 PM
The OP does seems to be limiting herself in a huge way to ever finding a suitable mate.
You really need to bend a little and let yourself be open to someone who might just surprise you. I do love the thing about being Catholic though, that actually made me laugh out loud.

But the thing about not single/not looking and being here. Is there an option for looking for female friends if you are a female, and male friends if you are a male?
I think if I was in a relationship my mate would have a HUGE problem if I was listed as looking for a male for friendship. And I would have a problem if he was looking for a female for friendship.

Rememberance Day
Posted: 11/11/2009 1:06:54 PM
I did take a few moments to remember our Soldiers/Sailors and Airmen/Women past and present.
I also shed a lot of tears hearing some of the stories of those who have given their lives for us. I couldn't imagine losing a loved one in battle, and my heart truly goes out to the families of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. And to look into the eyes of the Veterans and see both joy and sorrow, God Bless them :)

boobs on webcams
Posted: 11/10/2009 8:32:13 AM
I don't like to be 'presumptuous', But thinking our little tourist didn't do a local forum search... But a 'boob' search! But I could be wrong...

OT: The whole boobs on cam is to each their own, but I would always be worried about who is on the opposite side looking in. As you never know... Yikes!
But they say the camera adds 10 lbs, and if you have little itty bitty ones, well..anyway lol

You should know if you eat too late and people start showing up, that makes it awkward for both the ones eating and the ones coming in.
And then there is the clearing of the plates and getting situated for the dance.
And if it is too late, who wants to dance on a full stomach. You need some time to digest. :)

I think 7 should be the latest for the dinner.
But that is just my humble opinion. :)

How do you feel about people who've been on POF for your years?
Posted: 10/7/2009 4:19:57 PM
I have been on here for a very long time.

Does it mean that I am a serial dater and went through the list a few times? ... No...
It means that I am still single, I enjoy the forums, I enjoy talking to many, and meeting a select few. I have been single for a long time before POF and who knows might be single for a long time after POF.

I think we all come here for different reasons, some stay longer than others, where some get antsy and leave after the first week.

And there are others that come and go over and over again. That is okay too.
So we can never assume why some are here as long as they are, as there are many reasons, and those many reasons aren't anyone's business. :)

Ugh! Why on earth is someone trying to delete this? I would welcome someone starting a thread about paint drying as these forums are so quiet lately.

OT..... I am not near as addicted to the internet as I once was many moons ago.
I think it is like anything, the novelty wears off.
I don't own a cell phone and never have. I really don't want anyone contacting me when I leave the house. I am funny like that.
My addiction lately is Rockband, I can't get enough of that. :)

Why do some men feel the need to make women feel bad?
Posted: 9/1/2009 4:30:22 PM
Well I am not trying to make you feel bad, but was calling you on your use of a typical falsehood


First of all you don't possess the power to ever make me feel bad, and secondly I did not lie about anything.. Women did get the right to vote, and a lot later than they should have.
And I said what I did in response to you lumping all women in the same category. You might want to phrase things as... 'some women'. It makes things a lot easier in these forums. And you were attacking women, and I was saying we wouldn't be able to speak up against your spouting off if we didn't get the right to vote. :P But isn't it nice we can?!?
And there is social imbalance, that isn't your so called feminists blowing smoke!

And about male bashing... I can say from my perspective there is a whole hell of a lot more women bashing going on in this local forum than male bashing!
I happen to love men, I don't happen to love everything they say or do. :P

Women in this culture get away with far too much by playing the victim or playing the aggressor that need not follow any rule of ethic or decency.


Yep ... it all started when women were allowed to don sandals, throw down their oven mitts and make their way to the nearest polling station.

Back4more, again you are assuming.
I always have a red face, and that isn't due to drinking. And dancing up a storm = red face for most people. And prepartying doesn't always mean people are drinking their faces off. You have to give people the benefit of doubt when you really don't know what you are talking about.

The post event photos leave teh impression that a lot of drinking goes on at the majority of events help at a bar ( warehouse\rodeo\The Mill, etc ). So I can see where the perception of heavy boozing comes from.


Ummm the people in the pictures were at a drinking establishment. So of course they would most likely be holding a drink. That doesn't mean that each person is involved in heavy drinking. If they were at a tea shop, chances are everyone would be holding a tea cup!
I have said this before, but I have been to many of the functions. I have enjoyed myself at every one of them. I am not a heavy drinker, sometimes not drinking at all, and other times drinking two at the most.
I have never witnessed anyone falling down, or even appearing drunk.
Most that attend these functions are older, and therefore pretty wise to know not to act like an idiot in a room full of strangers.
So again unless you are to attend a function you are only guessing to what actually goes on.

I don't worry too much about the POF'ers and the parties, and the pictures of them drinking, as they are very grown adults. And remember you can't judge a person by a picture of them with a drink in their hand.
I have had a pic or two of me taken showing me holding a drink. I for one hardly drink at all and when I do, two is my limit.
But with that said, I worry more about the young people, that are barely 19 who are always shown on facebook with drinks in their hands, and booze by the caseload in the background. And when you go to a club there are so many young people with a drink in each hand.

Oh and as far as me dating someone who is a heavy drinker, no I wouldn't.
I wouldn't date someone who did anything that wasn't good for them.

Smokers... are they as evil as perceived??
Posted: 7/16/2009 12:54:23 PM
That is very funny indeed to say that 'Smokers are Evil people'. So one would assume that all the evil doers of the world are smokers. Hmmmm interesting.

We know that the habit is not a good one, and we know that most smoker's would quit tomorrow if it was easier to do so.

We also know that most smoker's are kind and considerate of others around them.

But we don't know that they are evil people.

Now to the OP.... I would remain civil with your ex for the sake of your children but that is where it would end. The kids just need to see you getting along, and it might send another mixed message if you are NOT together but always hanging out.
You need to move on with your life, and let her do the same.
And most women will accept a man with children if they care enough about the man. :)

I see that some have missed the whole point of the griping.
I was talking about the Rodeo wanting our business, but being an absolute greedy gut at the same time.
If I was an owner of a drinking establishment which was absolutely dead on Friday nights, and I had someone like POF wanting to fill the place. I would bend over backwards to ensure they had a good time, and were getting their moneys worth.
Which in turn would line my pockets.

Hmm...... Let me ponder this for a moment. There is usually 'no cover' charge
on Friday nights if you are there before 11pm and if you are a lady, oh and last POF dance 10pm for everyone , and now they are charging 7 dollars for the entire evening?

Is this something that is happening every Friday night, ie: no more ladies getting in free?

I truly believe we have to find a new venue, somewhere they will truly appreciate and desire our business.

Regardless of what "statistical" stats say, my life experience says that smoking isn't all that smart

Yes, I agree, and no where have I ever seen that smoking is in anyway good for you.
That is unless you are crossing the train tracks, and avoided being hit by the train because you had to step back because you dropped your lighter!
