'Pay it Forward' Posted: 5/23/2007 3:14:29 PM
Pay It Forward is a Warner Brothers movie, brought out in 2000. It's a real movie and nothing like "the secret", although the laws of attraction have been around for centuries....it's just now resurfacing because of "the secret" I'm sure you can rent Pay It Forward at a DVD store....

family courts ne one Posted: 5/15/2007 3:29:51 AM
When someone is put in a retirement or nursing home and is receiving subsidy from the Government to reside in such a residence....the Government takes ALL the income the person has except for a nominal $100 a month. The government takes all the income and then pays the remaining owing to the Home. A power of attorney is given to anyone of your choosing - as long as you are deemed of sound mind to make such decisions. a Power of Attorney can be for several and all things - including Money, making decisions regarding the persons health etc....in essence the person who holds the Power of Attorney has control for the person in the eyes of the law. I'm assuming when your Dad was placed in the home, the Intake Supervisor went through his financial obligations - which include allimony and child support payments to figure out what he would have left at the end of the month. What in fact is happening is the Government is taking all of your Dad's money and then writing cheques on his behalf to pay for his obligations and then subsidising the rest of the cost for his care. If your mom is paying your Dad back, AND is doing so by Cheque then she has the cashed cheques by the Bank to prove she has made the payments. If your Mom is paying cash - she has no proof unless she is receiving a receipt. You can not file for Power of Attorney to take control back. If your dad is of sound mind, he can apply for a new Power of Attorney and appoint you or anyone he likes. If you had the Power of Attorney you would be responsible to pay for his housing and all extra costs as well as paying his monthly obligations to your mom and whomever else. Once the divorce papers have gone through the courts and the support payments have been clearly stated in the papers, those papers need to go to the Home and they will have the payments changed accordingly. I hope this helps!

W O W! You have successfully written what I think constantly and find hard to express. Thank you for that post! I have always found it amazing that during my 9 to 5, business suit attire I'm highly respected and spoken to....then when i change into my jeans, boots and helmet, people put their head down and avoid me like the plague! Speaking of which, it's sunny and a beautiful day - I'm putting on my gear right now and going out to help change a few attitudes :) Thanks for sharing! That was AMAZING!

Concerts this summer Posted: 4/28/2007 5:16:11 AM
I'm a huge fan of Casino Rama as a concert venue....just don't ever get floor seats...you can see it all from any seat, but the floors aren't the best. I too saw Styx at Rama 2 years ago - with Gowan as the keyboardist - great show! So far this year I've seen the Ventures, I have tickets to Stevie nicks, Bachman and Cummings, George Thorougood and Toto!

Thioughts/advice about getting motorcycle license/bike... Posted: 4/8/2007 2:25:00 PM
I agree - take a rider trainer course. Even if you know how to ride - it's amazing what you learn over a weekend. I took my motorcycle license in Houston, Tx some 6 years ago...a 4 day course put on by Harley Davidson - and this after only being a passenger once!! When I moved back to Ontario, the MTO would not qualify my M license and made me do it all over again. Even though I was fully licensed I still signed up for and took a weekend course with The Riders Institute. Highly recommended. Believe me - after a one weekend course you will know if this is something you still want to pursue. I also agree that you should take the course first - then decide on what kind of bike you want. At the course I took, they had cruisers, sport bikes, dirt bikes - and you get to try them all. For me personally, there is NOTHING better then handle bar therapy. The mental clearing of all life's problems just by going for aride. And the social aspect of riding with friends. It is true - it's not the destination - but the journey! My vote is GO FOR IT!

If you plan it - we will come Better yet if you take proceeds for a charity - more bikers love to give money to charities as well as a poker run. Pick some long winding roads, lots of curves, a few stops for gas and meets and greets! Invite others to meet after for the BBQ so those who don't ride can still come out and meet! I'm in!

How many are in relationships made possible by POF, and how long as it been Posted: 6/25/2006 2:39:57 AM
exotica....you can't give up. Thats not an option. Mr.right is just around the corner, possibly reading your profile right now. Problem is he will only find that you have given up looking. Write something so they will be able to contact you and start a coversation easily. Perhaps your likes and dislikes, interests. Sure there are some weirdo's on here, but than there are many whom are seriously looking for their other half. I wish you great success in the future, I want you to write back on this thread when Mr.Right falls in your lap.

A hidden truth.. Depression... Posted: 6/22/2006 3:09:43 AM
I have dated someone who suffers from this disease and watched them go off the meds thinking they were strong enough without them....and then watching them spiral out of happiness into such a despair. The worst part was that when the darkest days hit they would lash out verbally and start to bring me down to their depths. On the other side of the coin - some of the meds cause sexual dysfunction -usually for men it's raging erections with no relief. This too causes great stress for both parties. As for your question, my issue is not the disease, it would the fact that they hid this from me....once I found out I would feel total mis-trust and that would open a whole new can of worms.

How to get a date on plentyoffish Posted: 6/16/2006 3:39:42 PM
I get rather suspicious if a guy asks me for too fast for my phone number or readily gives me his. Personally I prefer a few (a few not 25) chats or email exchanges before I'm comfortable moving forward to a phone call. Patience is always key. If I feel pushed into something I'm not ready for I'll back up faster then anything (feet don't fail me now!) Instead of rushing into here's my phone # call me....simply say - I've really enjoyed our chat, I can't wait to chat again. That leaves a warm and nice feeling and encourages us to log in and chat again. By the 2nd chat, if it's gone well....then you can suggest your phone number or asking for hers.

for SportsDude. MOST of the advice here is great. Just take it one day at a time....and if you think you really HAVE to tell her that you really like her already then do so.....but you can tame that down a bit too. You can say something like.....I've really enjoyed our chats and hope we can have many more....this still says you're liking her and want to move forward without the "I think I love you" and scare her away sentence. GOOD LUCK!

Am I crazy? Or is he? Excited geek, or obsessive weirdo? Posted: 6/15/2006 2:56:19 AM
I agree with both Jamesdean and Charlie Don't block him YET. But take one more time to talk with him. Explain to him that although you would like to be his friend he is becoming overbearing to you and explain why. This will not only help in your relationship with him, but in any possible relationship he will have with others. Be honest with him and tell him that multiple emails a day does not mean multiple responses and although you may read them, you may or may not respond to them. Then tell him to post something in the forums to get others to talk with as well.

Claypot sigh.......not you.......this didn't just happen to you did it? I don't understand that break up behaviour either. It's a game where usually more then one person is required to play - so turn it into a game of Solitaire and just walk away....see how they react telling themselves all the belittling antidotes. PS...for some - it's helpful to remember the mud slinging...that way they have a constant reminder of they this person is now an EX!

Some advice for those lacking confidence to meet the opposite sex. Posted: 6/15/2006 2:19:06 AM
KainMalice....why is it those good looking, guitar playing.....whatever else on your list....are also on a dating site? Do you honestly think that an Angeline type women could be bothered with a guy with such a bad attitude about himself???? I think you need to work on your self-esteem issues and confidence issues. Confidence is the #1 thing women are attracted to, not self-loathing, whoa is me type attitudes! I also thing that the OP has some very god points - if you try it I bet even you will be surprised once you drop the bad attitude.

What is acceptable and what is utterly ridiculous? Posted: 6/12/2006 6:13:52 PM
Always Always Always.....follow your head(gut) and not your heart. If he can get away with this now, he'll know he can get away with this after marriage.....just because people get married doesn't mean the behaviour stops. Your heart is screaming out and still loving something you thought you had or wished you had.....but ask your heart - is this really the type of man you should be loving so deeply? Love yourself as much if not more then you love this guy....stand up for yourself and know that he's not the one for you.

ANY GIRLS HATE THE IDEA OF A DATE??? Posted: 6/8/2006 5:11:04 AM
Sounds to me like you love the "lets just be friends" thing and you're really not to concerned with a relationship. On the other hand, if the word "date" is used I think you might be putting too much pressure on yourself to become someone you're not. ie your comment about getting all prettied up before a date. If a guy asks you out on a "date" then he pretty much already accepts you for who you are and you don't have to rush home and try to become someone you're not.

I apologize if this is in the wrong section....and ask a moderator to please move it if I've picked the wrong place. Late last fall several of us tried to get a POF ride together but the weather closed down our season too fast. I'd be more then willing to host a POF Motorcycle Ride day this summer if there was enough riders interested in a one day event. Please post here if you would be interested. Also if you're a two-up rider and wouldn't mind taking a passenger, let us know. Some lucky fish might just want to hang on to you for the day! Suggestions are also welcome!

Should we tell the truth Posted: 6/5/2006 3:20:31 AM
I would also be honest with anyone. It depends on how you or whomever has dealt with this issue as well. If you're still carrying that heavy baggage then it will also play a large role in any relationship. As noted above, a loving caring partner would need to understand what happened, how you've dealt with it and how they can help you and build a relationship with you. We all have a past....and it's our past that has made us the person we are today. It's the person we are today that your b/f is in love with....and not the person who had these things happen to them. Honesty always

The awkwardness of seeing an ex online Posted: 6/4/2006 1:45:30 PM
You won't like my two cents worth but here it is. If you truly loved someone...no matter what the reason for them leaving....if you truly loved them then you would only want nothing but happiness for them. It is very hard to see them on here and making assumptions in your head that they are shopping for their next girlfriend and then your subconcious tells you all the things that you might think is wrong with you and that you should change. Truth is there is nothing wrong with you .....you simply weren't the right girl for him. I agree that yes it would be better to tell the truth...but when they can't or don't....all you can do is wish them well and keep looking for a fish that is truly meant to be yours.

How do you say goodbye to the one you love? Posted: 6/2/2006 3:11:46 PM
The ultimate gift of love is to let them go. I too let someone move across the country because his 3 kids really needed him back. I grew up in a broken home and remember being their ages and thinking I'd give my right arm to have my daddy back. He didn't want to go without me and i didn't want him to go....but I knew his kids were everything to him and I needed to give him the ultimate gift of love by watching him walk out of my life and back into theirs. It was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. To the OP Tell whomever to be honest...if they are emmgrating and not planning on a return then they have to say so. The other person will cling on to hope forever waiting which is worse then letting them hurt and move on in time with their lives.

You told your Mom about a love interest but then you screwed it up... Posted: 6/1/2006 3:19:23 AM
I tell my Mom about everyone in my life - not just romantic interests. Taking home anyone to meet her is no big deal. But when I start telling other people that I'm involved with someone special then I hear from everyone else my mother's opinion! Usually they are not positive and she makes assumptions basd on very little information she's provided and then sways everyone else's opinion. It usually starts a disagreement between my mom and I because I always confront her with what I hear and give her an opportunity to explain her reasoning..... Yes sometimes I do listen to family/friends.....they can see past the rose coloured glasses we all put on when things are going good. I agree though - the more people that find out - especially early in a relationship - the more likely that relationship is going to fall apart......I just don't know why???

Doesn't anybody feel bad after a one night stand? Posted: 5/31/2006 3:05:31 AM
If both parties are single, and both parties just want to have sex with no meaningful relationship - FWB or FB or a true just pick someone up taken them home one night stand -...then hell no I don't feel guilty at all. However when in a relationship I wouldn't even consider kissing someone else, let alone a one night stand. Sex has so many meanings for so many people. For some it's just a physical good feeling thing you do, for others it's a validation that their still attractive enough to get laid, for others it's a chance to have a fantasy fulfilled.....

If she fails to take the leap - will you introduce me to this guy????? The grass is always greener on the other side - what people tend to not think about is that they still have to mow lawn!!!! She might be hesitant because of the age difference, or something she's not telling you about him. Or perhaps because she's pretty as you described, she's used to stringing along men because she can - for a little while. If she doesn't want to go farther with him - she needs to tell him...he's already got the love bug for her and holding on to him while she shops for something better just isn't fair to either one of them.
