What was the most favorite thing that happened to you this week? Posted: 3/15/2009 5:07:56 PM
The shuttle Discovery launched tonight at twilight. Just dark enough for the ignition to light up the Cape yet enough light to see it's trail as it soared up and away. When it got into where the sun could cast itself on it the flames form the engines turned a beautiful orange red and the trail turned into a magnificent sun orange plume. I watched this standing on the beach what a way to end the week.

What was the most favorite thing that happened to you this week? Posted: 3/14/2009 8:11:07 PM
All said the week was good, I accomplished many of things. The highlight of the week is Grandson #2 and his gf are coming down for spring break. They have never taken a real road trip so it is an experience for all. The mom's are of course biting their nails but confident they will be fine. They have checked in with me during every stop and updated where they were and how they are doing. They made it to Grandma's (the ex) in 12 hrs, mapquest had it logged for 10+ not bad for a couple of newbie travelers. I haven't seen him for several years and have yet to meet the newest addition to the family so I am looking forward to their arrival. It should make for an interesting week to come. Now I just need to find some things for them to do at night since I am sure they don't want to just hang out with the "old dude" every night. LOL Too young for the bar scene and too old for ski ball. There has to be something on this beach for them to do and it is my quest to find it.

PUT your life on HOLD or Celebrate your SINGLEHOOD! Posted: 2/5/2009 5:58:30 PM
I think being in a relationship puts your life on hold more than being single. I go where I want, when I want and do what I want. Not because I'm self centered, because I can. When a person enters into a relationship most of if not all of those freedoms are given up. I don't think it should be that way. I think raiderfan was close with: What's sad is that my friends who have bfs, well they quit doing all the things we used to do together...dance class, going out on ladies night to dance. I had to carry on without them. [\quote] I don't want to nor do I want someone to give those things up for a relationship. It is important to keep your circle of friends and activities albeit they may be lessened, (activities), by the relationship.

Protocol question about when added to someone's favorites Posted: 2/4/2009 7:18:53 PM
I have been dropping in reading the posts to this thread and I have read some good points. Thanks for the replies! I know that once I posted a pic of myself showing cleavage, all of a sudden 15 men added me to their favorites list! Am I blind or do I not see a bit of cleavage in your pic? Beyond that, what someone chooses to do (write them, ignore them, etc.,) I would think would be on a case-by-case basis and very much an individual decision. I think this is the best so far. It makes perfect sense to me. I always check the profile first. I have sent messages just because I liked what they had to say. ? I must say guilty.

When was the last time you HELPED a Stranger? Posted: 2/3/2009 7:03:13 PM
OK one more time and I am not blowing my own horn here. Recently a young lady with a side business (legitimate) who advertised with fliers was being stalked by an "admirer" of hers. When she became aware of this she was alarmed (big shocker). I responded to her via email and not online so it would not be public and gave her some more detailed info on the subject. She was most appreciative for the information. Do I give a rats behind for anything I might receive for this, NO. It is just something you do in life to make things better. If one receives anything from it so much the better if not the world is better off for it.

Protocol question about when added to someone's favorites Posted: 1/30/2009 7:03:25 PM
Sorry about the worms. LOL I am certainly not on that great amount you mentioned, so I don't see a problem there. Some I have had contact with prior to being added, so that is not an issue either. As far as giving them a week to email you perhaps they are just waiting for you to make the next move, the first being them adding you. And what if you just don't see any possibility of a connection? Ignore and move on? I guess this could become a multi-part question

Protocol question about when added to someone's favorites Posted: 1/30/2009 6:31:57 PM
I'm still somewhat new here and also new to this type of site. Geek forums are more of a home to me. My question is, if someone adds you to their favorites, what is the proper protocol to follow? Should you send a thank you email or just smile and go on about your business. It seems to me that it is a compliment to be added to someone's list and perhaps an insult to those who have added you not to receive some response. I have searched for other threads on this and found nothing. If this is a redundant thread then please post a link to the existing thread and let this one drift off into cyberspace, otherwise your opinions on this please.

What can you tell about a person just by looking at a picture?? Posted: 1/29/2009 12:22:17 PM
I think that all you can tell about someone from their picture is whether or not there would be a physical attraction. Superficial assumptions at best. A picture may well be worth a thousand words but what does it really tell you about that person. I recently met someone who at first sight there was no attraction, however after spending some time in conversation changed my opinion. One can not judge someone by looks alone, or their profile information. It is only after time spent getting to know that person can you make an educated opinion. In regards to the inflammatory remarks made by the no pic, no personality person, I commend you ladies for the way you handled the matter with your responses.

Indian Harbour Beach - Starbucks Meet and Greet - Friday January 23rd Posted: 1/23/2009 8:11:45 PM
Thank you for coming up with this idea and taking the time and effort to make it happen. There was a great turnout I had the opportunity to meet and talk some interesting people. I wish it could have lasted longer, we should do another in the near future. I regret I did not get the opportunity to talk with you and thank you for this. There were several other people I did not see or have the opportunity to chat with, perhaps next time. Anyway nice job and I look forward to the next gathering. Thanks again.

The BBW thread! No, it's not what you think. It's about Beer, Booze and Wine. Posted: 1/19/2009 6:09:28 PM
Beer: Becks, Peroni, Heineken, Molson Ice, Dos Equis, Stella, and an occasional Corona. Wine: Not really snobbish but do stay away from the "twist off corks" Liquor: Wild Turkey Rare Breed, neat with water back. Scotch would be Dewars or Johnny Walker red label. Tequila is my nemesis and I stay away from it.

Let's say you meet someone quite casually, in line at a deli or anywhere for that matter, holding your number and begin a conversation with the person next to you. From there you leave and spend the rest of the day together, where would your fantasy take you?

When was the last time you HELPED a Stranger? Posted: 1/16/2009 8:19:03 AM
I have from time to time done things to help people. Simple things such as holding a door open or stopping on the roadside and offering help. I have done these things and didn't think that much of it other that it just made me feel good about myself. A couple of months ago I was on my way home on the causeway, looked at my gauges and realized I forgot to fuel up when I left work. Then run out of gas about two miles from the nearest station and it is raining lightly. I start walking about a mile later soaking wet a complete stranger stops and gives me a ride. Not only to the station but back to my car and waited to make sure I got it started. I do believe in Karma and I think I got mine that day. I hope that stranger gets his one day too.

What do you consider Baggage? Is there such a thing? Posted: 1/14/2009 8:32:48 AM
Everyone has a past, it is how they deal with it that makes it baggage or not. I believe that when another person's past becomes an issue you must constantly deal with then it is baggage.

Hello Florida people Posted: 1/14/2009 8:23:26 AM
A friend recommended this site and I joined a short while ago. I have been holding back doing an intro until I had time to tweak the profile a bit and learn how this place works. In my short time here I have already made friends and next week I will be attending a local Meet and Greet. This may be the best site I have come across yet! So hello to everyone.
