What to send to Service Personnel in Iraq Posted: 8/18/2008 12:22:20 AM
To Guy in CNS, What you said is totally innapropriate.That comment does not belong here. People are questioning what to send their troups to make their life a little more pleasant in very harsh conditions. Do you think that those guys are there by choice? Most of them are just young guys doing their job, lots of them were recruited from the poorest part of the country, this was the best career choice that they had. Blame George Bush but don't blame them, they are not the killing machines that you think. I am not American, I am Canadian but I spend a fair amount of time in the States and I've met and know a lot of these guys. We also have our own guys in Afganistan, I don't know if your country has any personel in peacekeeping roles, if you don't perhaps you should keep your comments to yourself, they are very hurtful. I know those guys and it breaks their hearts to see what they see.

Watermelon Mint Raspberry Salad-perfect for hot days. Posted: 8/14/2008 1:15:10 AM
Thanks for the recipe, now thats my kind of food, healthy and fresh, I wish I would of seen this two or three weeks ago, my raspberries are almost finished now. I was looking for ways to use them other than pies and the stuff that's not healthy. I put most of them in the freezer. I bet this would be tasty with blueberries and watermelon.

Dating others - women - your thoughts please! Posted: 7/29/2008 12:14:44 AM
Sheez, she's 52 and has a 43 year old boyfriend and she still needs to look around? And you aren't bad, Honey! Tell you what, while she's busy making up her mind, why doesn't she toss you over my way? I'll bet I'm better looking than her and I'm certainly not as flakey.

after a date - is it 'right' for men/ women to be seeing other people? Posted: 7/17/2008 8:33:46 PM
Oh sheesh are you EVER naive, You've had one date and you think that he shouldn't keep shopping? Maybe it wasn't that good for him. If you slept with him you were silly to do so and you should never do that with someone you meet on line, not if you want to see them again. There are alot of players on here, they do things that they could never get away with in real life. You should keep looking as well, that's why it's called DATING not RELATIONSHIPPING.

Dating an Alcoholic Posted: 7/16/2008 3:55:51 PM
I forgot to add that I bet that's why her husband is "ex". He either was an alcholic too or he'd had enough of her alchoholism. I also want to know why some of you think that it's up to the OP to get her help before he dumps her. He did not create her problem, she had it before she met him. His only responsibility is to keep his sanity and get the hell out of there. It is not the responsibilityof us straight people to help or cure the people with substance abuse issues, Our only responsibility is not to become one of them.

Dating an Alcoholic Posted: 7/16/2008 3:44:27 PM
Run, the other way, as fast as you can. You aren't in that deep,... yet. Let her get her own help. Alcoholics are selfish as is any substance abuser, it's all about them and they will eat up your life. If you think that you can help or change her, boy are you thinking wrong. Save yourself and drop her ASAP. I know this from experience, I always thought that I was strong enough to help or cure the other person...wrong! I know that you said that you really like her, but trust me, there are other girls out there without those issues that you'll be able to like just as much. I believe that you are probably a very caring person but don't be a martyr, she's always going to have that problem, all her life and if you stay involved with her, it will be your problem too. Even if she does become sober and abstains completely she may slip back . Realize that if you're with her, you'll have to abstain as well. Maybe if she finds that she can't keep a boyfriend, she'll stop her drinking. Some people just can't handle any amount of alchohol. Good Luck.

How old is too old? Posted: 7/14/2008 10:13:17 PM
30 is too old for 18, you are still a teenager and he is a grown man. If you were 30 and he was 42 then it would be different. You'd both have some life experiences by then. At 18 you should still have some innocence and lack of life experience and a 30 year old man is way too worldly for you. There is something wrong with a 30 year old man that is interested in an 18 year old girl, sorry that's just how I see it. I think that a guy in his early twenties is as old as someone your age should date. Try to find someone closer to your age, don't be too quick to grow up, enjoy your youth, it will be over too soon as it is.

Date undertipped-what to do??!! Posted: 7/12/2008 7:49:31 PM
What you did was very tacky, it's not your business what he tipped, he paid the bill. I waitressed a good part of my life and while I may sympethize with the server, I believe that you are the man's guest and it's not your place to criticize his hospitality. Since when is 20 % required? The standard tip is 10 to 15 prcent with 15 to 20 percent for exceptional service. Next time you pay the bill, then you can tip what you want.

y2andme, that was very rude to say to maya and your spelling is terrible. I wish you and other people would proof what you write before you send it. I personally want to date someone that lives close to me preferably within 5 or 10 miles. I am open to others but it has been my experience that long distance relationships often do not work out.

Do large women like large men? Posted: 7/8/2008 10:06:51 PM
I think it's because a lot of heavy people (men as well as women do not see themslves as such. They think that YOU are "Fat" but THEY are "Average". I am not slamming anybody here but it's been my experience that a lot of people that describe themselves as average are often quite overweight. A lot of people just don't see themslves as others see them.

Sexual Innuendos and Hands On - When is it too much? Posted: 6/27/2008 5:00:57 PM
People who have to look on the dating sites to get laid are real losers. They somehow lack the social skills to go out in real life for a one night stand so they prey on us that are on here hoping to meet someone for a relationship. Believe me, there are plenty of people on here who are just predators maskerading as "nice" guys (or girls).

My son is on drugs....... Posted: 6/25/2008 2:36:12 PM
Okay, everbody has an opinion, some good, some not so hot. Sorry if you are 19 and giving advice to not call the cops on your own kid, we know which side your looking from, the kid's, of course. The point is to get the kid to stop, period, he lives in her house, he's breaking her rules, that's the point here. He's not respecting his mother's or society's rules and he's indulging in sefish behavior. It's not the occasional joint at a party on the weekend, he's stoned at home, probably at school too. He's 15, his job is school, how can he learn if he's ripped? Anyway he's too young even for the occasional joint. Last I looked the law is 18 even for legal substances. Karen, it's your house, your rules, you love your son and you know what's best for him, you do what ever it takes. First you get professional helo to figure out HOW to do it. Call the Ontario Alchohlol and Drug Abuse councelling or commission (if there's one )first. and look in the yellowpages. It should all be free .Good Luck.

What to say to women who don't put anything in their profiles? Posted: 6/24/2008 5:36:17 PM
I think Spongebob 75 said it perfectly. That's why I think putting a photo up is just stupid, and dangerous. I want a man to read my profile and reply to my ad because we have things in common. He'll put some effort into his reply and he'll be more sincere, I believe. If I want dorks trying to pick me up for my looks, I'll go to the bar. The same goes for men, if they want to meet someone who's interested in them , not just their looks, they should put a lot in their profile, their work, hobbies, bad habits and good ones, kids, how long single, the whole nine yards. It's easier to be truthful and tell more if there's no picture, because no one you know can see you on here and you can say as much as you want. You then have more chance of meeting someone who's compatible with you, pictures can be sent later if you both feel there's some potential. You'd be surprized how much stress and frustration this eliminates. Good Luck fishing,everyone.

Add finely chopped parsley, cerlery, onion and carrot to your broth and cook your rice in that, all the taco seasonings and such are full of MSG, salt and chemicals.

Double Whammy Posted: 6/23/2008 5:31:21 PM
Oh gee, I sure know what you are going through with the loss of a pet after everything else. It just seems like life is beating up on you. I can tell you that it will get better with time but that is small consolation right now. I know that it sounds callous but get another pet as soon as you can. You have all this love to give and nowhere for it to go. The woman you can't replace and in that instance you should take your time to heal but there is a little animal out there that needs someone to care for him or her and you might not think that you are ready to love anything but the minute that you hold it in your arms and bury your face in it's fur, you will be able to let your heart go to it. I mean it, rush out to the shelter or breeder and get somebody. If you can't go that far just yet, voluteer at the shelter for a while just so you can get and give cuddles. Good luck to you.

Guys, how would you recommend I answer this question? Posted: 6/18/2008 10:15:44 PM
I would say that you are a REGISTERED Message Therapist. That should set them straight (as opposed to the other kind). It's bad too when your NOT a message therapist and if you're getting busy with a guy and he asks for a message. Guys, I'm here for love not to work... asking me to give you a message or scratch your back is a huge turn off! Never ask a girl to do that unless you've been dating a long time. If she wants to do that, she'll offer.

PickUp Trucks run Empty Posted: 6/16/2008 7:38:17 PM
I need it for pulling the holiday trailer and the work trailer, it's safer to be in if there's an accident, it goes over curbs and snowbanks better than a car, it retains it's retail value better, I could go on and on, I would never be without a pick up, in fact I have two, an old one on propane for the real rough stuff and a newer one for the rest. the best value for insurance rates is an older pick up. The best value for buying a vehicle is an older pick up in great shape.

pros&cons when dating older/younger, men/women Posted: 6/13/2008 3:48:15 PM
I think Medana has it right on. I love young guys but there is the immaturity aspect. I also would hate it if someone thought he was my son. I love guys my age but then there's the physical aspect. It's pretty hard to get turned on by a pot belly. My opinion is that guys are in the optimum "Love mode" between around 27 to 47. Too young and they aren't good in bed yet, too old and they aren't anymore.. I think guys who born after 1960 have been raised by more "liberated" women (like me) and are ussually on pretty good terms with their mothers so I reap the benefit of that. A lot of guys my age and older are set in their ways and heaven forbid, don't ever tell them that they could use improvement in the bedroom. I've had boyfriends 10 years older and 30 years younger (really). I like to date guys 15 to 20 years younger but I would like to marry someone 5 to 10 years younger or my age if he appealed to me. As for Heathkl: Of course you did Dear, she's only twenty two. I wouldn't really put you in the rage of "older guys" yet . You're just doing what you're supposed to do. We women love young guys for the same reason guys love young girls, they are fresh and new, their skin is beautiful, they are beautiful to look at and to feel, they smell good. Their minds are so alive with believing that anything is possible. In other words, they aren't cynical yet, they don't have all the baggage of three divorces etc, etc. Love (or sex) is so hard to find now days, without putting on restrictions like age (legal age of course).Anyway, who cares how old someone is cronologically, if they are appealing to you and you click, go for it.

Calif. Supreme Court rejects gay marriage ban...... Posted: 5/15/2008 7:29:04 PM
Geez people, get into this century. Equal rights for ALL men (and women). Everyone should have the right to a legal marriage. We in Canada are way ahead of you, all marriages are legal here in every province. Some of our red neck politicians tried to outlaw same sex marriages in their province but the Supreme Court of Canada ruled against them. I'm very proud of my federal government upholding a fundamental human right. Remember, someone else's sexual orientation is not your business, just because you don't agree does not make it wrong. The world would be a happier place if everyone just lived and let live.

When he doesn't tip enough......... Posted: 11/19/2007 2:34:02 PM
Sirviver, You don't really know about Edmonton or Vancouver as you thought you did. I'm from both cities and have family with restaurants in both cities. The servers in Vancouver get a little less than in Edmonton. Most get minimum wage. In Edmonton most get minimum wage whether they are new employees or have been with the company for 25 or 30 years as some people with Swiss Chalet have been. These ladies are some of the best servers I have ever had the privilage to meet and yet their wages are frozen at $7.00/hr. A few restaurants will pay up to $10.00/hr. but these are usually places where the tips aren't so good. A decent one bedroom apartment in Edmonton rents for $1000.00/month. Edmonton is in a boom economy and the servers can't always give great service because they are so busy but the biggest problem is not enough staff especially in the kitchen. I do feel sorry for the server at times but it still is none of my business what my host tips. If I'm paying the bill I try to be generous.

If he's paying, it's not your business. It's up to him what he wants to tip. It's enough that he's teated you to dinner and it's his business how he spends HIS money. It's not up to you to take care of the wait staff in this instance. In fact you shouldn't even be paying attention to what he leaves as a tip. That's bad manners on your part. I've worked in restaurants all my life and believe me, not everyone tips what they should. Later on if you are in a relationship with him, you can offer to leave the tip. Never bring up the fact that he's cheap, if you feel sorry for the wait staff then go back there on your own on a later day, have a meal and over tip if it makes you feel better. The worse thing you can do is belittle your date, if you don't like his behavior, don't date him.

Fat Flushing soup diet. Posted: 10/30/2007 11:51:05 PM
No offence, but I have news for you, your "fat flushing soup" is no such thing, in fact it will fill you full of sodium which will contribute to weight gain. Canned chicken broth has a lot of salt and Lipton Chicken Noodle soup mix is just loaded with sodium and MSG. Both are items that should be avoided even if you aren't trying to lose weight. I think the problem most people who are fighting the weight battle have is that they don't have a sound knowledge of good nutrition. Make your own chicken broth ( boil a chicken) and leave out the salt. Throw an onion , a carrot and some fresh parsely in with it for flavour. Use fresh tomatoes as canned have a lot of salt in them. The best way to get and stay trim is GET RID OF THE SALT! Learn to like your food plain and natural. Use herbs for seasoning. Get rid of the soda pop including the diet pop, it's full of sodium! Your body needs water, at least eight glasses a day, that's 64 ounces. More is better, lots of water, that will flush out the fat and keep you hydrated. If you aren't hydrated you get depressed and inactive, then you eat and get overweight. It's a vicious circle. The way to get off and keep off weight is good nutrition, realistic portions of natural plain food (lots of vegetables) and avoid the sodium. Good Luck!

No one has mentioned marriage here. What is with all the shacking up? If you make the commitment to each other, you both sell up and get "your" place unless one really prefers to move in with the other. All you cheapskate men, why are you even thinking of a relationship if you can't take care of a woman? I'm a successful business woman and I would never consider even dating a man who wasn't willing to support me even though I don't need him to do that.

Have you ever had a serious relationship with someone you met from a bar? Posted: 10/9/2007 1:24:42 AM
Absolutely, of course I only go on weekends, decent people go out to have fun and meet people on weekends too. There is way more chance of finding a significant other in a bar than on the internet, for me anyway. I can see them, converse with them, sense them. I don't drink much and sometimes not at all so it isn't a case of misjudgement due to alcohol. I think it's much better to meet someone at a bar, dance or party, than the internet. I find that a lot of people that hide behind a computer are often lacking social skills, not all, but some.... I often meet nice guys at bars, and they call for a date.

Geez, grow up! It's up to a woman what she does with her body. For you to have unprotected sex with someone you aren't married to..., well you are just stupid. She probably had second thoughts about being tied to you, if she loved you and wanted to be in a commited relationship she probably would of gone ahead with the pregnancy. She did the right thing. A child deserves to be born into a commited loving family. Before you decide to bring a child into this world, be married for a while,own a home, have a permanent job, then think about having a child.

How old is too old ?? Posted: 9/21/2007 11:25:43 PM
You guys are just the right age but you'd better hurry up. Up to early 40's is perfectly fine, 40 is young now days. After age 45 it's just not fair because you'll be 60 when the kid is 15. If you have a child now you'll only be 56 when the kid when the kid is 20. What's wrong with that? A woman can often have a child until the early 50's but can and should are different things. Your guy is 39, that's just the perfect age to be a new dad. You have both probably sewn your wild oats and are now stable. If you have a good relationship and both want children, go ahead. The kid is lucky to have parents that have waited until they can give him or her what every child needs, a loving, stable home. Never mind, 50 year old guys and young wives, how about former model Cheryl Tigues and her YOUNGER husband having twins. She was 52 and he's about 40. Good on her, I say. I could still have a child if I chose and I'm way older than 36, for me it's a lifestyle choice, not a physical one and it wouldn't be fair to the child.

Just drizzle melted dark chocolate and sprinkle poppy seeds on the chocolate so it sticks to it. A little finely grated lemon or orange peel with or instead of the poppy seeds would be nice. I don't think you need to decorate a bundt. It's a simple old fashioned cake.

I think we should find as much cat poo as we can and fill a great big pit with it. Then we could put those idiots along with Newguyinventura, (also an idiot) into the pit and watch them sink and suffocate in the cat poo. A fitting end, don't you think?

Cut it off the cob and throw it on top off a salad, especially nice with butter or leaf lettuce and a thinned out mayonaise dressing. You can also add it to soups or add it to jarred salsa to make acorn salsa.

Organic foods Posted: 8/29/2007 12:43:56 AM
Yup, they are fed what chickens are supposed to eat which is grain. In a lot of commercial operations, beef and yes, chickens are fed animal protein. Animal blood and bone and yes, parts are ground and processed to make high protien feed. That's how mad cow disease was spread, animals eating feed containing spinal cords of infected animals. It's termed as Industrial Cannibalism and it's a commom practice. Remember that your average commercially raised chicken doesn't get to run around the farm yard and peck the ground for chicken feed. The poor little b....gger is crammed into a small wire cage with a lot of others and fed as much feed as he can eat so he gets as big as possible in as short a time as possible. Remember also that the bottom of the cage is wire that the poop can fall though so it's not too comfy on the feet. So if you eat a Free Range chicken it means that it at least had a life , it had a bit of freedom. If it's an organic Free Range chicken it means it had fun and it got grain to eat.

Organic foods Posted: 8/29/2007 12:26:02 AM
Diatemacious Earth is used to discourage slugs, it doesn't do anything for the plants either way, it's not used to replace chemical fertilizers such as Miracle Grow. That's a terrible thing to put on food crops, it's okay on flower and lawns but it's still really bad for the environment. My garden is all organic, the only fertilizer I use is natural compost and bone meal, sometimes a little manure. I compost pretty much everything that comes from my yard and most of what comes from the kitchen.The point of growing my own veggies is so I don't have to eat chemically grown produce. The veggies taste much better and it's good for the environment. The organic veggies in the grocery store can be more expensive but not always, We have Superstore here in Canada and a lot of the organic stuff is close to the same price as the chemically fertilized. Try the carrots and the apples, there is a huge difference in taste. Try growing your own tomatoes without chemicals and you'll never want anything else. As far as organic meat and chicken it's much better for you. The reason little girls start puberty as young as eight years old is often because of the growth homones fed to cattle. Chemical garden and lawn fertilizer just isn't good for you or the earth, it burns, it pollutes, etc, etc. It makes sense to try to eat food that is raised naturally, you should buy organic when it's possible for you to do so. A lot of organic stuff is coming down in price. The more sold the more the price should come down. It take's more effort to grow initially but once a farmer gets his land set up to grown organically, it's easier. They also have to pay inspection fees for testing each crop to be certified organic. Farmer's markets are good places to look for organic produce and meat. Organic is the original way to grow things. Chemical fertilizers just came about only about sixty years ago. Ever wonder why so many people have cancer nowdays? You can learn a lot more from the internet, at the library and at Natural Food Stores. Good Luck! .

I'm done!!! Posted: 6/28/2007 1:21:11 AM
You know what? You deserve better anyway. I would say most of the guys on here are a fair bit below average but they are delusional. As one person said there are a lot of 3 and 4's thinking they can get a 10. I have gone back to the real world to look for dates. I'm sure that there are some great guys on here but I think it's too much like shopping for most of them. They keep thinking they have a lot to chose from and can be fussy, notice that some people are on here for a long, long time. Go to single dances, take some courses, join a pay site, go to the bar. You'll probably have better results. I think internet dating sites can be psycologically damaging for some people. I have great self esteem and I've felt hurt by some responses or lack thereof. Buck up girl, don't let it get you down, when you least expect it, someone special will come into your life. Good Luck.

Age difference in dating Posted: 6/25/2007 1:31:01 AM
I just have to tell scientist guy to learn the facts of life. A 45 year old woman can most certainly still have children, I'm way past that and I can still have a healthy child. The difference is that I and most women are smart enough to not have a child at 45 for the childs sake. It's just vain stupid men and you know who you are, who are selfish enough to think that they can be an ideal father at 45. You will be 65 when the kid is 20, is that fair to the child? Besides, unless you are a millionaire, not too many 25 year olds are going to want you.

unable to message men w/the no pic no message setting? Posted: 6/21/2007 12:24:43 AM
Why would you bother with some guy who insists on a pic before you know anything about him, it just shows that he's not very deep. I' d say forget those guys and put your efforts into guys that are nice enough to get to know you a little before demanding a picture. This is supposed to be a place to meet someone for a relationship but I think a lot of people use it a meat market because they don't do very well socially out in the real world. If a man isn't gracious enough to give you the time of day because he can't see you, he's not a gentleman anyway, he behaves one way for women that he considers good looking and another way for the not so attractive ones. The word for that kind of guy is a jerk. You deserve better.

Shortest Date Ever - With a very tall man Posted: 6/12/2007 11:48:09 PM
The guy was a cheap unmannered bore and you deserve better. You should have waited a little longer before agreeing to meet him. I'll bet after a few more emails and phone conversations his true personality would of come to the surface and you would of decided that he wasn't worth meeting. Don't let these guys rush you into a meeting, and when you do agree, make sure that he asks you out and intends it as a date. He should ask just as he would if he'd met you in a regular way, like: "would you like to go for a drink Friday night?" Not , "do you want to meet up?" I don't do "coffee dates" or "walk dates". I figure that if the guy can't spring for dinner and spend a few hours with me, he' s a cheapskate or he's meeting a lot of other women and I don't want him. These guys on here talking about "dutch dates" don't deserve to meet girls. What would life be like married to one of those tightwads? They have no business dating if they can't afford it. They'll go on about why should the guy pay etc. it gets expensive etc. It's not if they aren't dating everybody they contact, a meeting should be a selective, well thought out thing with a select few people, not a matter of course. Chin up girl, the guy was a dirtbag, just please be more selective next time about agreeing to a meeting.

I know possessions don't matter, but.... Posted: 6/8/2007 3:02:15 AM
I'm with you Strephie, I've also earned what I have and I too, wouldn't look twice at someone who wasn't at least equal to me in all aspects, why would I want to be dragged down after working so hard to get where I am. Have you noticed that it's usually the people who don't have anything that say material things don't matter? I don't think the majority of us who think this way are saying money comes before everything, at least I'm not. I'm just saying that normal, grown up, average people usually have a decent roof over their head and a decent mode of transportation. I for one chose to not be a burden on society, I don't have to ask for handouts, and to me, honest work is not a bad word. I will not go into my life story but let's just say that I've perhaps worked harder than most and I'm proud of my accomplishments including my personal relationships with the people in my life. I don't have to apologize for anything. If someone wants to be a slacker or spend all their money on booze or drugs or cigarettes, that's up to them but they shouldn't expect to be welcome in my social circle. To the person who called me Mother Theresa, all I can say is that the best thing a person can do for the poor and society is not to become one of them.

White Water Rafting~ June ~Golden, B.C. Posted: 6/8/2007 1:53:02 AM
I'm not going to go but I went quite a few years ago . I think it was Wet and Wild out of Banff. It was on the Thompson River by Golden B.C. It was really great, exciting and just a blast. I was alone and it didn't matter everybody was so nice. There was also a group of military guys there on leave and they started thowing water into our raft, we threw some back and that was the start of the biggest and most fun water fight I'd ever been in. You should have so much fun. I will tell you that you should eat before you go. I was told that there would be breakfast so I waited until I got there. Breakfast was just pastries and coffee and when I got there , there were no pastries left. Bring a snack as well if you're usually hungry at lunch, the chili that was there was really good but there wasn't a lot of it. Have lots of fun, but don't drink and listen to the guides, it's safe if you follow the rules but be aware that people have fallen out of the rafts and drowned, so don't stand up and be real careful.
