Saskatoon Beer and Wings at Bridges - Sept 6- 8PM Posted: 9/13/2008 2:58:03 PM
I'm thinking POF is a very clicky group who don't really welcome new people that's absurd. a few people know each other because they attend the events...they haven't ALWAYS known each other. i'm sure your suggestion of more/bigger signage will be taken to heart, it's a good idea. it can totally be uncomfortable walking into these situations...it might pay to contact someone else who is signed up next time & arrange to meet them outside so you can go in together, then it's less awkward for at least two of you :) glad some of you were able to get out & have a good time!

Wondering. Posted: 9/1/2008 8:05:29 PM
As far as the grocery store.... I'm not a person who would likely ever attempt to hit on a woman I see in a place such as a store. I guess I've alway just assumed that most women, if they're shopping in a store, would not appreciate being hit on by some random guy. I assume that if I were to approach a women, who was a complete stranger to me, in such a situation, to ask her out on a date, she'd likely assume that I'm just some creepy weird guy, prowling around grocery stores or shopping malls, pestering the women. Since, I'm already believing that most women may view such a guy as a desperate creep, by extension I'm wondering if the women, who would actually say yes to such a guy, are the type of women who'd date guys that many other women would consider creepy? less thinking, more smiling at pretty women ;) although i do understand what you mean...i guess i just don't worry about it that much. plus, i have a lot of respect for anyone who can just approach people in public...it takes guts, even for the creeps...that's gotta be worth something ...even if it's only a polite refusal. i think we're all too tense.... must come with the desperation ;)

To tip or not to tip? Posted: 8/30/2008 9:07:58 AM
i've worked a lot of long, hard hours in a restaurant...people who don't tip, need to try it. it's not "easy" and good servers have mad skills. if you're good at it & live in a bigger city, you can make crazy money at a restaurant gig. Saskatoon doesn't really qualify...but there are some servers here who make excellent cash. anyway, i always tip in a restaurant unless i get ignored. even if the service sucks, you can tell if a person is genuinely putting forth the effort. i've tried tipping at the Co-Op where i get my gas & was told that they can't accept tips. my hair stylist owns the salon & i only tip him if i'm feeling particularly wealthy. as for the tip jars that pop up on counters all over the place....sometimes i ignore them, sometimes i toss a loonie in, depends where it is & if i was entertained at all.

dude! if a girl agrees to go on a date with a guy who approached her in a grocery store, why would that seem to mean that she's "too busy dating everybody" or "desperate"?! and what's "desperate" anyway? some days I feel desperate! egads...did i just post that on the internet? people are too paranoid & negative (in general)...have a little fun out there, it might pay off!

The term Ask out Posted: 6/14/2008 6:32:47 PM
i wouldn't try that introduction thing if she doesn't know she's your girlfriend...that could backfire horribly. i'd say the best thing to do is talk about whether you are exclusive or not. if you can't TALK about it, then you shouldn't BE it.

should single dads have more rights Posted: 4/6/2008 12:56:22 AM
If the laws where you are are biased against single dads - get involved, join a group, change things. Laws won't change on their own. as far as your personal situation, hang in there. seems like you got some great advice. don't give up. there's a whole bunch of negative things i'd like to say about the post above mine, but since it doesn't relate to your OP, i'll skip it :)

Dogs Posted: 3/16/2008 9:33:39 AM
i think you've deleted your account... but just in case... there's no one out there "checking", but having said that- you would be putting your dog at risk if anything were to happen. it's too bad you're not here anymore, i'd like to know more about your situation. both of my dogs are considered "dangerous breeds", so i'm pretty interested in what happened to you. i'm reasonably sure that a dog barking at a child while the dog is at-large doesn't result as being labeled a Dangerous Dog... if your dog is registered that way, he must be muzzled off your property & on leash at all times. my rottie has a record of his own with Animal Control because i live near a school & he barks at the kids going by. someone complained (he's fenced & can't possibly escape) & now i just don't leave him out when i know the kids will be going by.

Things still seemed to go just fine until it bacame okay to be a single parent by choice or to leave your family to be happy. so the correct choice is to remain UNhappy & raise children in a love-less home. omg, my head is going to explode. sheesus, the BEST possible life for a child is one in a happy, loving home...no matter how many parents there are in it & no matter what sex those parents are & no matter what neighbourhood they live in. PERIOD.

So based on your logic r girl your next fulltime relationship is only good for a limited time? Or just as long as you are happy? mmm, i'm not sure what i said led you to the conclusion regarding a "limited time"...but yeah, i'm not going to stay in a miserable relationship with anyone. that's not good for anyone involved; partners, kids, family, whoever. of course happiness is something BOTH partners are supposed to commit to. for the last year and a half of my marriage i started counselling for myself & begged my husband to go to couples counselling...he promised & assured me he would & then never did. little did i know that he was already dating the woman he is currently living with. how exactly was i supposed to "make it work"? i'm so tired of people tossing around the idea that it's easier to leave than it is to "work it out". the end of my marriage was anything but easy. and i didn't "walk away".

john, my point is that your view of "simpler times & family values" is skewed (in my opinion). i don't think people from our grandparents generation were necessarily happier...there just wasn't an option. once you got married, you were stuck there - no matter what the state of your relationship or the degree of your personal happiness. my own grandparents were married for 52 years before one of them passed away & there was no Love there...just the lazy comfort having been with someone for 52 years. With modern morality and values too many people walk away from relationships i guess it depends how you look at it. i don't believe it's a lack of morality or values that causes most people to "walk away" from a relationship....i think it's a chance at happiness...don't we all deserve that? and you know what they say, it's better to be FROM a broken home than LIVE IN one. happy parents = happy kids. period.

Because of this freedom that equal rights has afforded women we are seeing a serious breakdown of reality. thunk okey doke. so women should just go back to wearing sweater sets & aprons & making sure to have a scotch on the rocks ready in hand when their man walks through the door at the end of the day. um, what? and i don't know where you live, but where i live women still make less than men for doing the same job. and as far as i know, men far out-number women in government positions & other positions of power. so the "equality" is where exactly? and as for the "days of yore" morals & stable marriages crap....morals have nothing to do with staying married. if your husband is cheating on you, abusive & controling...but you stay married, are you somehow more "moral" than a woman who chooses to leave & live her own life? yeesh. and back to the topic, if you don't like dating single moms, here's a tip: don't do it.

Looking at marriage but not sure because of being cheated on long ago Posted: 9/25/2007 9:37:32 AM
i've been cheated on (by my husband of 13 yrs)...so i think i can relate. i'm not making excuses for him, but you were only dating for two months...AND he came clean to you. IMO, a serial cheater hides their cheating ways at all costs. personally, i don't think anyone can tell you if you are ready for marriage, but if the previous infidelity is the ONLY thing keeping you from it...go for it. it wouldn't hurt to have some couples counselling before you make the step to marriage, just to work out the trust issues. good luck!

Cell Phones On a Date,Do You Really Need It? Posted: 9/19/2007 4:37:03 PM
Unfortunately, way too many people DON'T use common sense with cells right, i agree. but in this thread it seems that the anti-cell-phoners are ALL or NOTHING...which is just plain silly. i mean, c'mon, because i have my phone with me i'm disrespecting my date? absurd.

Cell Phones On a Date,Do You Really Need It? Posted: 9/19/2007 9:30:19 AM
p.s.I would like to ask all parents...when you are out with your children do you still answer the cell? What other" emergencies" do you anticipate? okay, maybe i don't understand the question...but i'll answer it anyway, yes, when i'm out with my kids i answer my cell phone. what's your point? this thread is hilarious. there are a number of us who have kids who say that if there is an emergency while we are out without our kids, we would like to be available to them. i fail to see why that is so horrific to the anti-cell phone posters. once again, my cell phone rarely rings & i would not answer it on a date unless i thought it was very important. i am not the person who sits in a restaurant & lets the phone ring & ring & ring, i am not the person who is always talking on my phone, i am not the person who talks while driving...but YES, i have a cell phone. believe it or not, some of us can actually use our phones responsibly & be respectful towards the people around us & the people we are with.

Happy Job, Crappy Pay, I need advice! Posted: 9/19/2007 6:40:54 AM
Spare time should only go to work. the options were to a) make enough money to live (and buy boots) or b) stay at the "happy" job & get a second job where's the "life" if you're working two jobs? i think a big part of the equation that's missing is WHAT the "happy" job is... for example, i would be very happy working at the local women's shelter, however there's no way that would provide enough money for my family to get by. so... i take a job that pays way more than the women's shelter could, but i volunteer at the shelter. my view isn't to go for the money at all costs, but to find a way to do both.

I scoffed at the idea of "aliens" causing them, because I honestly don't believe that little green men on another planet hoped on a spaceship, flew to earth, landed in a field, then took off again, leaving the crop circle behind. But if we expand the term "alien" to include any life form that's completely foriegn or unknown to us, then perhaps there is some type of being, or type of energy, currently unknown to use, that may be causing these???? 'zactly my point. and i agree, if it were crops being flattened "naturally"....how is it that they are so intricate and perfect and often designs are duplicated/mirrored within the same "crop circle"...so yeah, how's that? lol, now you all think i'm a fruit loop.

What do you think about dangerous breeds of dogs? Posted: 9/3/2007 9:55:44 PM
okay, your "quote" suggests that you feel sorry that football lost a quarterback...it doesn't imply anything else. pits make a "good" fighting dog b/c they are tenacious and fearless. there are many breeds that are that way. as an owner of two breeds that are frequently victimized by "blame the breed" mentality, i wouldn't want my dogs around anyone who is absurdly paranoid either. i know that if anything happens, my dog will be blamed, no matter what the situation. i've taken a lot of time & care to properly socialize my dogs. they are excellent on leash and we spend a LOT of time at the off-leash parks with lots of people and other dogs. neither one of them has ever shown an ounce of aggression. would i EVER leave them with a young child unsupervised? no. that's just common sense. i wouldn't leave my shih tzu with a toddler either.
