Which pizza topping on a first date? And does it expose the type of person you really are? Posted: 8/30/2009 9:34:01 PM
i wouldnt of gotten into a stoush over a mundane topic.. would of just rolled my eyes.. quipped 'more for me then' and ignored him for the rest of the night like he didnt exist. for him to make such a comment probably meant he really wanted to annoy u.. and well seems he won. as for toppings.. i do vary but a fav of mine is 'chicken, bacon, mushroom and anchovies' i worked for a few years while at uni making pizzas.. and i used to make this pizza before work that most ppl were like eww at thought but everyone loved it .. garlic pizza, thin base, small amount of garlic, anchovies but cut finely so not too strong a taste.. lots of fetta and parma cheese on top. mmmmmmmmmmmmm was awesome. dont mind also, fresh tomato, fresh basil, onion, garlic and rock salt with tiniest amount of cheese to hold together.

Is she too young for me? Posted: 8/16/2009 7:11:31 PM
i think firstly the fact that u are writing and asking on a public forum already means u know the answer and have doubts, for whatever reason. ur doubt may only be ur worry about how others may view u. whatever doubt there is, its there.. regardless of how mature or immature she is for her age and u have her categorized before u date her. this means it will always be hard for u to move past this. but then it depends.. what does she want? a sugar daddy? a lover? a fb? a partner? who knows.. if she is after a little fun and ur after a little fun then why not? as long as both parties are up front and honest so no one gets hurt... why not. but if she is wanting more u need to consider this.. u are on that cusp in age of being still young enough.. but by time ur 50 or mid fifties ur age is going to be alot more evident and obvious.. she will only be 30 or mid.. the divide as u both get older will continue to widen. i know this as i married a man when i was 23 who was ten years older then me... was fine till he hit 40.. kinda freaked me a bit then.. i was just turning 30 and still felt very young but his being 40.. just felt old and i was thus old to being married to him.. i know warped thinking.. but that age gap just seem to widen with time. now another dilemma u may have is.. it is a clients worker.. what if things go sour.. that could cause problems between u and ur client and to be honest this area is grey and unprofessional. at the end of the day .. is it worth it? does ur heart badda boom when ur near her.. or does the idea of touching young rump seem appealing.. one u cant ignore the other well ... grow up and think with ur brain (the one between ur shoulders). pro's and con's.. weigh them up and find an answer.. but like i said .. i think u have / had it already.

Does a Fully Coherent You, Have the Rite to chose How/When to Die ? Posted: 8/6/2009 1:59:15 PM
if we stood next to someone as they attempted suicide do we just stand by and watch and let it happen because.. well it is their choice or do we intervene... in case of jumpers, guns in the mouth, overdoses we always where we can.. intervene.. this is no different.. it is our moral obligation to interfer... but it is also his choice to die.. it is a hard one.. so i say it would be reasonable for a group of psychologists, his legal team and a court to make the decision for him/us. i mean we are also a society who put ppl to death.. so the moral lines are blurry.

Bettina Arndt Sex Diaries Posted: 8/3/2009 2:25:18 AM
hmmm i think to a certain point women or men should just do it.. i dont mean all the time. but the amount of times i have heard men say that they got it like once a week/fortnight/month is amazing, the bitterness and discord they felt over it. i dont think she should then turn around and 'do it' all the time.. but i think we need to make allowances to make our partners happy at least sometimes... ppl stray coz of boredom in bed or lack of sex ... why give them a reason... (generalisation of course)...

Ladies obsession with tall men... Posted: 8/1/2009 8:49:59 PM
hmmm we wear heels or at the very least shoes that tend to have some sort of height on them.. so for me.. im like 5"5/6... in most shoes im around 5"8 (give or take)... so i want a guy that is at least 5"10 and over.. coz i cant handle being taller than the man im with.. seems unfeminine.. thats my reasoning anyway. and im sure u urself OP have preferences.. and u say u can grow or change for women... but why should u.. why arent u good enough as is? sure u miss out.. but i am sure i miss out coz i carry extra weight or coz i am a brunette or coz i have brown eyes or coz someone doesnt like my perfume or whatever.. at the end of the day when its right its right.. unless ur hoping to bag as many as u can and this is preventing u from doing so?

About the Puppy Posted: 7/24/2009 9:06:20 PM
i think its a win for the good.. think outside the box a little.. there is sooooo much bad stuff in the world each day happening, we see it in the news... non stop.. something terrible happened to the little puppy which touched many many ppl.. just like sam the koala.. and when such an event happens its great to see the good in ppl come out.. donations, gifts, kind words, thoughts... and blooming heck.. doesnt that make a nice change regardless of the costs which are minimal.. and asthetic principles of dogs? seeing ppl unite together for a good purpose for a change? and i do believe the costs are being taken care of by donations not tax?

Is KARMA a Comfort Word ? Posted: 7/24/2009 8:58:01 PM
hmmm depends on ur definition of karma really, karma is a complex ideology of various religions that varies in meaning, buddha meant it in more of an internal sense, ie.. u do good u feel good - nirvana, u do bad u feel bad - samsara..not necessarily consciously either. its circular, and neither can be a begining or end of the circle... this concept yes i do believe in.. i believe in the idea of positive and negative energy and if we look at ppl who do bad (generalisation), generally they are in a bad place, not happy. but if u mean how westerners use it in the sense of 'what goes around' as u stated.. hmmm no not necessarily.. so if for instance a partner cheated on me.. then he will be cheated on or something fitting befall him.. no i dont believe in this. i guess in a life time something bad will happen to him.. but does it relate to me? then no.. more himself, his own actions, which always have a reaction and thus consequence, so its natural to assume if someone does bad things enough.. something bad is bound to catch up with them.. smoke fire etc. so yeah i believe in the true karma sense, well least in the buddha.. not sure of other religious meanings.. ie hinduism... but i think ppl do use it as a comfort word for sure.. some ppl nasty ppl seem to prosper on others misdeeds or misfortunes and maintain a sense of self and happiness so who knows.. ppl and life just arent that simple to work out.

Moving on What worked for you ? Posted: 7/24/2009 4:17:02 AM
time... sad but true.. and in that time i managed to be fairly self destructive.. (nothing too serious), too many dates, too much partying, too much without alot of thinking really... time passes and u realise that u still havent moved on.. so off to counselling i went.. its been 7 years since i left my marriage and i still have dreams about him.. that essentially are... i still love him.. or want him back or angry at him.. or dont want those things.. confusing dreams that make me wonder if i have moved on.. so perhaps u dont really.. its just that u start another chapter of ur life and while that other chapter exists and u revisit from time to time.. it is a past chapter.. but to answer.. getting out and about and keeping busy, getting back on the horse so to speak and counselling all helped.

No... dont have all the answers.. and yes pity style threads..yes.. says me.. that is my opinion... just as im entitled.. and i guess ill take that as a yes that u rather ur kids go on to a public forum to bemoan whatever is going on in life instead of seeking help of real value. as for my lack of compassion hiding behind a computer.. and such... well as stated i attended therapy when i felt there was a need rather then 'poor me' behind a computer... as for examples of compassion.. i pat stray animals, smile to ppl in the street.. give money to buskers and charity.. stop cars so old ladies can cross roads and im a teacher who in my spare time, give free tutoring to kouri kids (who have more problems than most ppl i have ever met, hence free tutoring). amongst other things, that warrant the word 'action' and 'value'.. but that is relative really, as im no bill gates.... i just cant see the value in spewing ur guts up on here in hope ull get some sort of answer that truly helps, hence me saying.. counselling and in brackets > (said nicely).

suzieQ, compassion lack of or plentiful isnt what it is about.. i can feel compassionate about the op's problems but this isnt the answer.. coming from someone who has had counselling (I), i am a true believer of it... if someone needs help, which i think the op does, as she is coming across depressed.. is vague, silly or even compassionate responses on a public forum the way to go? or seeking true friends/family or professional services the way to go? u really want ur kids to go on a public forum to do something akin to the topic? or seek someone with real value to them, who can really help? ur new to these forums... posting many almost pity style threads urself, so i can understand why u stand up for her.. the net is too much of a place where ppl throw their problems into.. and hide behind a computer.. but sometimes to really move on.. u need to put action into reality.

Distance.. Posted: 7/19/2009 2:21:32 AM
i think the problem with the long distance thing is.. most ppl are too loved up by the net stuff and havent given reality enough of a try, with me and my partner we dated for 15 months before i moved in with him.. and we are still in the early days so hard to say long term, but he is my best relationship so far in my life, so i am glad i made the move. u both from the outset have to be committed to the idea of moving, but at the same time u need to give the relationship time to evolve and not rush it. but as i have also stated i am not a believer in long distance relationships.. mine just happened.. as for above message (as in suzie's).. u need to be clear in ur search for someone, what u can and cant accept.. he has one.. and that is.. distance.. and sometimes ppl dont even want to get caught up in 'chatting' or getting to know someone as well it can evolve and the distance thing then becomes an 'issue' so he has set rules from the get go. and thats exactly as it should be.. for instance.. cant handle a smoker.. dont message with one.. never want to move (or till 2011, as one poster above mentioned) then dont message and definitely dont meet one. otherwise ya will just get frustrated by the experience.. and who needs the extra stress?

Communication on POF Posted: 7/15/2009 4:45:13 AM
if a profile is gone that quickly then i would say its highly likely he is either married or attached.. even guys who think the whole thing is a bit silly and change their mind, probably wouldnt go to the effort of deleting.. when they delete.. that takes effort.. so u gotta wonder why? not sure what the stats are, but u can almost guarantee the person behind the email ur chatting to is lying about something.. most times its weight, height or age, but almost just as often its status as well. xxx

u? more likely they met someone else, had a bonk and started seeing them... u might find u get an email in 2 or 3 weeks when things dont work out. that or yeah might not of been into u.. or they went on holidays.. or ambushed by pygmies and being held for ransom, but again.. remember this is the net.. u dont know them.. they dont know u.. so taking it personally is silly.. ppl are better or... worse in reality, but are very rarely what u envisioned them to be on the net.. ur head is coming up with a 3d image of a person that is created from a 2d perspective.. ur perception is always going to be off. count urself lucky, if they are fickle like this on the net.. imagine how they would be in real life.. net is easy to find a bonk.. but a partner? might as well buy a lotto ticket.. when ur lucky numbers come up they come up... but the chances..... grain... of... salt.. okies?

The Hormones / Menopause hurdle. Posted: 7/13/2009 5:05:05 AM
the reality is this... 2/3's of all marriages end in divorce, thats not to talk about the ratio's of relationships (de-facto, and bf/gf). takes two to make or break a relationship, maybe it was u, maybe it wasnt, maybe it was both or maybe .. u were just a statistic. chances are from the get go .. is.. its not going to work. secret is, when problems start to arise 'DEAL with them' most ppl just assume things will get better, or ignore them, but usually thats the first crack and first shade of the 'writing is on the wall'... the other secret is if its not going to work, to get out with ur respect and 'self' intact and realise ull get over it, and if u need help dealing with it, find it.

Kids vs boyfriends Posted: 7/13/2009 4:48:25 AM
sorry but this seems to be becoming more of a pity thread, counsellors and friends are usually the best ppl to turn to for help and comfort. u have stated u dont want a man living with u, and u know what... if thats ur priority then fine.. i mean it is ur life and u can do with it what u will.. u sound fairly set in ur routines anyway and it would be hard for any man to live in ur home as the rules are 'set' out and u dont seem as though u have room to move.. (with ur opinion). as for loneliness, have a date or two, coffee or such, join some clubs, u know book, movies or whatever floats ur boat.. get a counsellor, some services provide cheap helpful counselling for those who need it and dont have alot of money if thats the case for urself. as for ur ex partner and friend well yeah thats bound to hurt, but there isnt alot of point coming on here to whinge about, been there done that, all of us at one point or other.. and there is light at the end of the tunnel. count urself lucky, see the bright side... that the ppl who were close to u, werent' worthy of ur attention and focus. sorry if i seem a bit ****y, but i have been on the net along time and the biggest gripe i have about it is the amount of ppl that come on here to 'date' or find someone and they have just left relationships and the baggage metre is ten foot high! get out from the safety of ur computer screen and start living life or start taking prozac.

The Hormones / Menopause hurdle. Posted: 7/12/2009 8:06:20 PM
i think ur just hurt, and refusing to see that the precipitating factor yes may of been menopause but the underlying reason may of been something else altogether. u believed from ur point of view that it was a happy marriage, but how do u know that from hers? all women some more than others suffer from pms that affects our emotions where we yell, cry, carry on sometimes at the wrong moment with the wrong person, and after wards sorry for it.. when women are emotional (generalisation) they tend to lean towards their partner, not away. u want to understand? go see a counsellor, a woman counsellor.. she can give u a lot of information, written and verbal that can help sort this out for u.. help u understand.. and deal with it. i saw a counsellor because my pms was bad.. and have learnt to deal with it.. so i do understand even though im not menopausal. but.. where there is smoke there is fire. and until u can step back from the situation and see things a little clearer, ull aways be blinded by emotional fog.

the internet isnt the same as real life.. u dont have to face the person while u reject them, and its easier to just stop, rather then explain why u dont want to continue to talk. or for some maybe they met someone and just stopped.. maybe they were chatting to 15 ppl so having to explain to them all why they didnt want to continue... too much effort.. as for those that read then delete and dont respond.. most girls get alot of mail, gets to be too much bother to have to respond to them all and isnt it obvious that when its not replied or read and deleted there is not interest? its not like a pub.. where more normal social conventions apply the net is alot more anonymous.. and FICKLE u just have to take the good with the bad and dont let it bother u, as u dont know someone till u meet them, so whatever contact prior to this is superficial. grain... of... salt.

Distance.. Posted: 7/11/2009 8:32:09 PM
i met a man off the net, he lived 3 hours away from me.. mostly it was just coz we got along so well on net.. thought why not.. first night clicked in person and thus started a relationship, where we would see each other at first every second weekend, he would come to me 3 or 4 days a fortnight, then as time went on i went down there as well.. it was hard.. very hard.. when i look back not sure how i managed to continue.. lots of ups and downs (emotionally, ie not having ur partner there when ur sick or need them).. my attitude was i would never move to him as well.. its only a very small town and more opportunities for me where i was.. in melbourne. but when push came to shove (after a year of doing it), he was a bit stressed about moving, leaving job, family friends etc. he would of.. but i couldnt handle the pressure of him uprooting his life (not as easy for him to go back to small town and get job if didnt work out), and it not working and the pressure it would place on us.. me.. so.. i decided to move, and did about 2.5 months ago, and i have gotten a permanent part time job as a teacher, and some work from home. i didnt have family in melb, just a job and a few friends, so i figured i had the least to lose so to speak, not only that with my job in melb, im on leave for a year so can go back and found a sub let for my apartment (cheap in toorak, didnt wanna let that go in a hurry!).. if things dont work. the result is.. the relationship has thrived since moving in.. he is soooo much more loving and happy now the stress of 'who's moving' is out of the way, and i dont mind being here.. its a change.. what the future will hold (as in not sure i want to stay in small town) dont know.. but for now it was the right decision. having said all that.. i am not a believer in long distance relationships.. never have been.. but when its right.. its right... where-ever that person lives.

id say she had been harbouring for a long time a desire to leave and the inability to control her emotions via menopause, meant she vented that fact... ur better of maintaining a good relationship for the kids sake and.. 'get over it' so to speak, and move on... is.. is.. is..

Do Men in their 40's Want a relationship, YES A RELATIONSHIP ? A real One !!! Posted: 7/11/2009 3:02:35 AM
perhaps before u go on the meet u should clarify the stance of the man... if ur meeting off the net that is.. most men want a nookie first then relationship later if they are hit with a bang... but what ur describing isnt really any different to any other person out there.. i think it purely comes down to.. when u met the one.. uve met the one.. like ahhh.. thats natural right, u rejected a few right. when a man says he doesnt want a relationship he means he doesnt want one with u... no one (very rarely) says no to someone that makes them vavooommm on the inside.. men when they are taken.. are taken (by someone).. simple. possibly just focus on meeting ppl and making friends even a nookie or two if u want.. as u said ur a big girl... but think with the 'when its meant to be, its meant to be' motto.. plus read 'he's just not that into u' read not watch.. awesome book in understanding men a little better.

The high school curriculum Posted: 7/10/2009 10:45:28 PM
Im a school teacher, high school and the curriculum varies from state to state, so can only comment on vic and nsw... as those are the only ones im aware of.. i teach some literacy classes for year 8 kids (and IT) and have done other various ages.. alot of kids find it hard to think for themselves, some perform well under instruction, for instance write a story about 'dogs'... but ask a kid to write a story, or what is that book about, comprehend it, what is the feelings behind it.. etc.. then they struggle.. it might not be bad as a later year subject choice, year 11 or 12.. some concepts of philosophy are discussed in a broad sense in various subjects (such as asthetics - art, politics, logic - maths, ethics,) but philosophy is a complex and broad subject covering psychology, anthropoly and science.. where do u start?.. and considering most schools i have been to have extremely poor literacy rates and behaviour amongst the kids.. i think concetration on those areas is more important than say ... the ideas of aristotle. the curriculum in past several years has improved alot and focuses on self, worth, the body, maths, english and also practical skills such as computers, cooking, doing tafe subjects (eg vcal in victoria) to prepare them for society as not all kids go on to uni. and i must say... alot of adults i know arent very self aware.. they dont have the capacity to philosophize, so not sure how u expect a 14 or so year old to. as for ur comment about sport etc.. well philosophy is a matter of body and mind. but thats my stance

Kids vs boyfriends Posted: 7/10/2009 9:00:46 PM
having ur partner, someone u love and trust live with u, doesnt stop u from being a good parent, i guess as long as u have been dating long enough? ur sons if your a good communicative parent should understand u have needs to. u dont have to comprimise those, they dont make u a bad parent, there is a happy balance that can be reached. ur not wanting him to live with u, reads more as 'ur just not that into him' as for ur gf and partner, or ex just move on.. the trust is broken and as for loneliness thats a natural part of life that u can combat by joining clubs, like movie clubs or knitting or whatever ur 'thing' is.. join a sport.. its a good way to meet friends and or prospective partners. but ull always be lonely if the kids are the only priority, a new partner needs to feel like he isnt at the bottom of the ladder and of course i dont mean put the kids before him.. if he moved on.. based on that .. (depends how long dating) i cant say i would blame him.. sorry..

Whaling Posted: 7/10/2009 8:30:53 PM
too many whales? ummm depends what ur comparing it to.. as in 5 to 10 years ago when levels where drastically low or 100 years ago when levels where alot higher then they are now? commerical fishing in general should be banned for a certain amount of time on some species to repopulate them.. and more commerical farming done.. alot of fish/prawns etc are done in pens these days.. and they just learnt how to breed big tuna which is a major breakthrough, as not all fish are easy to breed in commerical environments. i remember growing up in coffs harbour where u would catch fish in the rivers all the time, these days hardly get a bite and if u do catch something its the size of babies foot. as for whales, i sorta dont see the point, i mean we have such a surplus of cows, lambs, chickens, rice, lentils etc etc etc.. is it really necessary as a food dish, chinese herbal medicine or oil or or or.. i think its just another way humans put luxury infront of necessity without considering the 'bigger picture'.

Are roadside memorials distracting for drivers? Posted: 7/10/2009 8:25:06 PM
a woman died at that spot, if they just took it.. i could understand the dissappointment, but the family of the woman who died might of felt that it was the reason she died.. who knows what lies beneath the reason, maybe the truck driver felt that.. and out of respect for her family took it away.. it wasnt just a little bunch of flowers there was a fairly large amount, i think its a moot point in a sense if it was distracting, i see it as been done out of respect for that woman that died... albiet a little disrespectful for those who previously died.. but .. i think it wasnt a bad thing.. hard to comment, i dont think there should be such a fuss though.. unless the publicity for that area makes drivers a little more careful, as obviously its a bad spot.

whats wrong with us Posted: 7/10/2009 8:19:27 PM
kids are more educated in school these days about pregnancy prevention than any other past decade.. they teach them all sorts of things... mistakes happen, thats life.. but ull find most mistakes occur because of the lack of birth control, and or the lack of maturity in young ppl these days.. (ie, the decision to become pregnant because they are not fully aware of the life changing moment about to happen)... but.. the bonus is there to repopulate the country within without higher levels of immigration.

firstly im a complete animal lover, i have often spoken about my rabbit or chooks on here.. i think intelligence just like most things, it is relative.. u can not compare the intelligence of an animal to a human, i mean has anyone ever considered that animals are in fact smarter? we define humans as being the most intelligent creaturs on the planet, but is that really the case? i mean sure we have built fantastic things such as cars, whitegoods, life saving equipment, tvs and so on.. no other creature has managed that. but we are also the only living creature hell bent on destroying not only ourselves (ie murder, rape, pilfering etc) but the planet we live in. yes i do think some are just as smart but thats a hard point to make as we really cant get inside the head of our animals and know what they do or dont think. i can say that my rabbit, (who most ppl think is a very dumb species) tells me in his own way what he wants, he will sit in a certain spot when he wants food (next to fridge, ha), he will nudge me with his foot when he wants a pat, has also learnt to open kitchen cupboard with his teeth to get to his hay and dry food, even once managed to pry open lid from plast container that holds the hay.. he bangs his water dish when its empty, picks it up with his teeth and repeatedly bangs till i fill it, he grunts when he is unhappy and tugs at my clothing when he wants to be put down on ground (when im holding him).. so i can tell what he wants to a point.. he has learnt to communicate with me on my levels.. but cant say i have with his. so who is smarter?

Should I take up Smoking at Work so I can get lots of Breaks too ? Posted: 5/9/2009 5:17:10 PM
doesnt ur work have a suggestion box? and of course a smoker is going to support his or her right to smoke.. i mean they are ADDICTED to it.. otherwise they would save themselves a hundred dollars a week or so that it costs them.. hmmm u can approach this in a few ways i think... a) i have a friend at work she used to be a rep and she would go home early lots and stop and pick me up and we would just drive around and do nothing.. she sounds like a total bludger but... she would always exceed monthly sales, she would always get her paper work done, where her collegues always struggled.. for her the job was easy so she did more than she needed in a quicker time and with the other time did what she liked.. i say.. fair enough. if ur fellow colleagues do their share of the work and or more than dont whinge.. coz again fair enough... but if they dont.... b) im sure there is someone u can talk about the matter to.. or there is a work suggestion box that can bring 'light' to the situation c) try talking to ur colleagues although i would see that as a waste of time and u could end up being the colleague least liked. ps.. u talk about productivity? hmmm well smoking isnt the only way its wasted, i know ppl who go to the toilet just for sake of a few mins off fone, or just put themselves on not ready and chat to friends or other jobs where the BIGGEST complaint i have heard is ppl surfing the net.. my personal opinion is as long as the work is done leave it be as long as ppl meet their quotas or do the job they are asked to do, or etc.. then thats all that matters work is stressful and i understand a few mins here and there in taking a break and if that is exceeded its up to management to make the right decisions to take the appropriate action.

New to Internet Dating Scene, why is it so? Posted: 5/9/2009 5:07:07 PM
well maybe they stay away from ppl who have been on here for ages as well.. just as we all have a little... ummm not sure what the word is.. dislike? for lack of better for those been on here years.. we, well i tend to think of them as a soul who has been on in the incestaul pit of c*m and spit that the internet tends to breed.. so i would say the message is for the other newbies.. its just another game... to attract the ladies as well it is harder for them and thats what they tend to resort to.

Swine Flu pandemic or academic Posted: 5/3/2009 7:17:41 PM
i wouldnt be surprised re 'destruction of man kind through a virus' probably a virus someone deliberatley puts into the world as well... ie man made. should we be worried? no not the collective we as in ppl in the street... the government should though, of course.. that is their job to put steps into place to make sure it doesnt become a problem... i mean this is life threatening and contagious.. we worry when we start knowing ppl who have it.. and the hospital system is overloaded with patients with it.. but... the media cant help it self.. it needs a story to sell and ppl in a panic will buy papers to update themselves on the 'current' status.. but on a side note.. i did read about this farm in kingslake that survived the fires, it produces eggs for a company that makes vaccinations.. and there is a race in the world for the first vaccination against this flu (the first company that produces the vaccine that protects against the most strains will be used)... now.. pharmacutical companies dont do anything unless there is going to be a profit right?... so conspiracy theory.. panic the ppl (media) and buy the vaccine (government funded or individual)? or is it really that big a problem that they will spend millions perhaps wasted in developing it......

charity is a necessity in terms of tax deductions, plus it is to a certain point expected. as for pratt, he was a human being... so why wouldnt ppl come to his side and say what a good man he was.. coz maybe he was to them... price swindler or not.

How much do you love your PET !! Posted: 4/27/2009 5:57:22 AM
im very proud of my rabbit, he has learnt to open the kitchen cupboard and drag his food container on the floor, i used to just laugh thinking ha.. good try, its a big plastic container with lid.. but his managed to open the lid to... he is toilet trained.. and does funny little things that make me smile.. he gets super excited in the morning and runs around me and around.. coz he knows its food time.. this morning i gave him his food and then sat down at puter to check mail and then i hear this 'bang bang' of his little water bowl.. oops excuse me.. i forgot to put water in his bowl.. so i do and he starts drinking.. its strange the way he has learnt to communicate.... when he wants a head scratch he head butts me... sometimes he jumps on the bed at night for a cuddle but i sleep too deeply so he chews the sheets.. im sure thats coz he is mad.. i mean.. he is the king of the house.. how dare i. i have found ppl cant always be there for u, or be trusted but animals u get loyalty and unconditional love. and how damn cute.. i mean really.

Always A Brother... Never A Lover Posted: 4/26/2009 3:23:40 AM
u said ur obliged that after u have the 'friends' talk to hang around and be friends.. well sorry but thats u making that rule up. if ur really into someone and they arent... it isnt always possible to stay friends... i mean how can u be friends with someone when all u can think about is what they look like with their panties off.. i would say u get urself into these situations coz well 'they arent that into u' and the situation stays that way more importantly because YOU LET IT... we all have had the friends talk but whether we continue to stay in that place or not is i guess an individual decision and of course case by case.. i reckon u STAY FRIENDS.. coz u think things just might change.. sadly.. when someone is interest they are interested and generally dont play games.. like 'steph'..... there might be that rare one in a thousand that becomes a relationship but.. once a friend or seen as a brother 'poof' goes the possibility of no knickers action. how to solve this? move on... plenty of fish as they say and stuff being friends.

How do you reject someone's attention, politely. Posted: 3/24/2009 3:37:58 AM
why do u need to go into some long speech? most guys appreciate a response even if its not interested.. just say 'your not what im looking for' but thank you for the email and good luck.. short but simple. and ignore any return emails that are a bit bitter... pays not to take all this too seriously.

How much do you love your PET !! Posted: 3/23/2009 11:17:02 PM
is it treated with human luxury's? hmmm what a phrase, do u mean consideration and kindness? or steak instead of a can of processed meat? my pet means heaps to me, but i choose to have a pet instead of a child, i take him home when i go to coffs harbour, he fly's with me.. ppl are like why.. and im like well i go for 4 or so weeks, cheaper to bring him with me than leave him behind and pay someone or inconvienence friends to feed him for me.. then i dont have to worry about him and he would be bored and lonely and that is not a good thing for any living thing.. but do i leave a funeral half way to feed him.. ahhh no.. they have done a study, that u put up on tele pictures of dying and starving children in africa or a article about a human being beaten or such and sure there is outcry... but... put up a picture or show a dog that was starved and beaten and the outcry apparently is far greater.. ppl are far more likely to react to cruelty to animals than humans. i mean sam the koala still gains media attention and there is a book, movie and advertising deal in the offering for the little guy (or girl actually), but ask ppl how many died in the bush fire and i bet ya some would get the number wrong, and the emotional articles have died down about them. i reacted when i read this study and thought no way but with some thought, i say i would probably have to agree... interesting. and albeit a little off topic soz.

Isn't it spineless??? Posted: 3/12/2009 10:22:18 PM
hmmm a person earning that sort of wage is basically a workaholic, they deserve it? sure if the results meet the desired outcome, if not they bring someone else in to do the job. a large company needs someone who can run it, not just a local macca's manager, and for the stress and burden of such a job i think the reward is fair enough. sure it is extravagent, but at the end of the day ppl like that, singers, actors, even lotto winners help us to have hope that we can be in that place to. if not, dreaming is nice. i think there should be some sort of clause though if the company doesnt perform well the reward isnt as high, because someone of their standing can get the job and basically stuff up and still get 20 million for the year, i think there is a need to show value for employment dollar. but thats probably my only real complaint.

Heat Wave - Victoria Posted: 2/9/2009 4:11:04 AM
i think its a little hard to comment, considering our stats only go back for a hundred or so years... which is barely a breath taken in comparison to the planet's age. for sure our actions are impacting i dont disagree at all.. but i recall a around a decade ago living in coffs harbour... we were having massive drought problems and it was all talk about climate change etc, then my uncle who had lived there his whole life said no happened when he was a kid where there was a few years of drought then things went back to normal, he said its just a cycle... everyone was like nooo its the climate change.. then things went back to normal.. coffs started getting its massive rain fall again and hasnt been even close to being drought ridden for about 5 years. i think only time will tell if what is going on in vic is a cycle or climate change or both.. but i dont see ppl viewing it as a climate/global warming change as a bad thing, as it may make us do things for the better, recycle more, be more careful with water, fuel, etc. and that can only have a positive impact regardless of the reason for the recent climate events. (ps im in vic to!)

what do you think about this? Posted: 2/4/2009 6:31:17 PM
the question was, should she have told her... about him being on another site.. not whether he was guilty or not.. that impossible to decide based on the information given. the ensuing arguement, breakup, was then their doing... if he had a genuine reason and she didnt believe him then thats her decision.. also.. if he was so innocent.. why didnt she know about it? why hide it? he could of been looking for friends.. but personally i think thats bullshit.... join a movie club.. or knitting club or poker night.. thats how u make friends.. not meeting women only off the net.. to me the fact it was secret and he was just meeting women.. (whats wrong with male friends) and the gf didnt know about it all seems a little clandestine. alot of ppl now will be like but i have made heaps of friends off net.. well me to.. but 90% of the time i went on meets, even if i wasnt sure he was for me.. that possibility existed prior to the meet. hence word... 'dating site'. get urself close to fire.. and there is a good chance ull get burnt!

Economic Stimulus Package Posted: 2/4/2009 6:23:39 PM
as interest rates have come down a lot, there isnt the same concern for ppl's homes.... as well they are saving a lot in comparison to twelve months ago. but because of the economic concern that has been going on for the last few months, ppl are spending less, credit card spending is down a fair bit also...this in a way is a great thing.. i agree... the money is better spent elsewhere except.. the car industry is failing in some ares... the concern is if that crashes.. thousands of jobs are lost (already more than a thousand has been lost), just as alot of other industries are crashing.. for instance wedgewood... (not australian but was amazed when i read about it)... has been around for 250 years and are about to go bankrupt.. also because of this bank problem alot of companies associated with them felt the pinch in australia for instance bankwest. if ppl stop spending, u dont require as many workers to maintain supply and demand.. therefore.. goodbye worker, it is also a way for the company to save money.. eg.... 'the maquarie group' are forecasting a decline in profit this financial year of around 1 billion less than last year, and as a result in trying to increase profits cut 1000 jobs from the 13,000 employees they have. 'suncorp' have also reported significant decline in profits, and recently axed around 500 jobs, GE have slashed 500 jobs in aus and nz, quantas will be posting a profit loss of 400 million (600 down to 200), etc, that just reading todays news section... this is going completely through industries, small business to big. alot of these companies are having serious problems. the idea of the stimulus packages are to stimulate the economy and maintain jobs, in hope that it turns around.. or at least stops it from getting worse, as they are hoping that the economy will eventually right itself anyway. tv's and what not might be a waste of money but its goods and services that make the world twirl so to speak. as for the surplus, the reason the government keeps a surplus is for situations just like this... i mean they could of injected more money into schools, or roads or welfare or or or or last year or year before.. but they keep a tight hold on it for moments where they need to prop the economy up... just like now.
