Please don't sort viewed me by logon date! Posted: 7/8/2007 10:14:44 PM
please check with other members and see if they agree, and if so, can this be changed? I've gotten used to it and kinda like it. So if it counts for anything I disagree. Sorry OP.

Should PoF screen new members? Posted: 7/8/2007 10:08:54 PM
bad profiles What is bad to one is not too another. Ones mans junk is another mans gold...ya get? I love mine...but others think it is a bad one... I have seen some pretty horrid ones out there but they love them, who am I to criticize and tell them otherwise? I am not. All in how ya look at it and see things OP. I'll be so egotistical to say that it's harmful to a user to not know how to do a good profile, so that they can send the right messages out to prospective partners, and not send the wrong messages to those that they have NO interest in attracting. But you are asking poeple to read others mind...not possible. Not too mention in some ways change human nature. What is right for one is not going to be for another. We are all different and have different ideals, morals, values, principles.....so on.

Respect for spiritual and religious beliefs Posted: 7/8/2007 9:15:54 PM
I'm curious to know how many here respect others beliefs, even when they differ from your own For myself personally yes I do, for me it is something that is a part of my everyday life. It is who i am in all aspects of my beliefs, decisions, morals, ethics, values and my philosophy. So for someone to not be that way to me is to basically be very insulting and disrespectful to me as a human being in general. While I know for some that there's is not this way I give others what I can hope that someday all can do for me. I firmly believe in each to their own...I think it would be a much happier, more harmonious world if everybody could accept poeple for their belief system instead of converting, condeming, criticizing and being all around hateful/cruel/diragotory(sp) and mean about it. how many think that all religious people are brainwashed I think some are, but I will not call them idiots. I think that is calling them a dirrogatory (sp) name that is uncalled for. While others might hold that thought of mine I would hope they would give me the same respect as a human being to not call me an idiot for I am not and most people on this planet are not. Some are ignorant, and that is not someone that is an idiot or stupid, that is someone who is lacking knowledge on a certain topic/idiology or any type of education, etc. That is not something to be ashamed of by any means; it is unfortunate in some cases but it is not their fault in most cases. all spiritual people are self-deluded egoists. OK..had to look up egoist here: One devoted to one's own interests and advancement; A conceited, self-centered person; a self-centered person with little regard for others; someone with a philosophical self-involvement amounting to egoism (who may or may not be an egotist, i.e. a person with the trait of selfishness I think in some ways this does apply, I know for myself this One devoted to one's own interests and advancement; A conceited person does fit me. I do make it a point to better myself but not to be better than others or look down others. I do not have this "I am better than you" outlook whatsoever. I do however tend to come off as concieted. Because I have always been book/learning and overall street smart I do tend to be conceited in some things because I know more. I am constantly seeking knowledge. I try not to be, but alas I am not perfect and sometimes it gets the better of me...this post is going to be a perfectly good example of that I think. How many people casually apply some blanket derogatory statement to all people in a religious or a spiritual community? I do sometimes but I try not too. It goes to experience from bad and good. I know I get it; hence the bad and I have many sweet and loving Christian friends that love me and adore me for who I am knowing full well the depths of my beliefs as far as they can grasp them anyways. They know my morals and ethics and know me enough to know I am a good person so what I believe does not bother them; that is a big factor in helping me look past the bashing/twisting/hate/anger/and overall negativity I take from people in my life and from other posters . So I see it in others, I get it and am sometimes guilty of thinking of it. I do my best to squash it though and rethink it when I know I am going down that path because of how I have been done...I do not want others to feel the way I have; it is utterly horrible.

Thread Deletions..not the usual question Posted: 7/8/2007 8:41:16 PM
It has already been implemented. Hence, if anyone makes a Thread and feels the User Base is in process of voting a Thread off for the wrong Reasons, you can e-mail any of the Moderators for a Review. Wo0t Wo0t and A Ho0t Baby! You guys are the Best In my Estimation, the User Base hits the Target dead on about 80-90% of the Time. Most of the time. Today I saw a few that stayed (did not hit any of the criteria to stay whatsoever) that were just mind blowing to say the least but hey...I'm one of how many here? lol shrugs Edit: I so cannot type in proper english today

Help with being blocked from sending email Posted: 7/8/2007 8:07:09 PM
Strange rule. For us to have the ability to NOT have others email us when they cannot grasp simple english? Ummm no I think not! Had my own share of stalkers/harressment in the real world that my dog and ultimetly the law can deal with...I do not want it via the net as well. I have had to use the block option to keep one idiot from emailing me because he still thought his cute little "hello sexy" were ok even though I had already taken police action against him outside of here to get him to stop calling me, imming and emailing me. To this date he still has a profile here but thankfully a visit from the cops stopped his contact to me. Never said I was worried about it. Are you? Your actions (rant in your long post) spoke otherwise, just an observation. She might not have liked you for whatever reason, you'll most likely never know and I am sorry it happened to you if she did not explain it to you. I explained it quite in detail to the person described above and he still thought it was ok to say hi, even after asking then telling him to NOT CONTACT me for any reason whatsoever. It is called respecting ones boundaries and wishes. Not saying you did this with her...just illistrating a point. Good luck in the future.

When you are blocked the messages go bye bye. As to why she blocked you who knows. Maybe someday she will tell you or you will figure it out on your own? Or maybe not worry about it and just move on, obviously she is.

I recently asked the Admin to implement a Function for Moderators to terminate Thread User Votes where obvious incorrect Calls were being made. As we see them, we stop the voting Process. This is an awesome idea! Some threads deserve the bye bye but others are pretty valid topics that are debatable and fit all the other criteria and not redundant.

Nope, nothing like that short of emailing them requesting that they not put you back on once you remove yourself from there list. And that is a long shot at best with them actually respecting that request; some might, some might not. Also take your IM either offline or make it where only those on your favs can IM you, that way it only shows up when you last logged in for those that do have you on their favs.

Strike Three-You're Out Strike One One messed up Apologized One did For One's unfairness Felt badly One did For being such a muddled duck at the time... Stike Two One asked for honesty Two agreed with nothing but Two had 'nother to go with One But did not tell One of this... Strike Three Two told the world Of 'nother but did not bother To tell One at all One found out By shear accident Three their had been In this there was What One had found with Two Of peace, joy, contentment Believing Two to be What Two said Two was Only to find that What Two said Was not to be What Two meant Hurt One it does So much so To be told one thing And led to believe Only to find out 'nother If Two could have told One Been straight with One One would have been hurt yes But Two would have been truthfull And to One...truth is all that matters Two knew this of One, knew this well How is it that a greater harm is not being committed by Omitting that One is not Two's One afterall? Leaving One to find it out as the Last One To Know? One Offers this to Two Reminding that while love Was not there yet The sentiment of this: I didn't see the fire burn to ashes Couldn't feel the winds of change I was lost inside the passion Blinded by a memory of a flame Guess I should of felt it when you touched me Should of seen it in your eyes I beleived you really loved me Why can't i beleive you said goodbye Why is the last one to know The first one to cry and the last to let go Why is the one left behind the one left alone With no one to hold The last one to know Now it would be easier to face the morning If you were holding me tonight But you left me without a warning Holding on to a heartache while she's holding you tight Why is the last one to know The first one to cry and the last to let go Why is the one left behind the one left alone With no one to hold The last one to know Two offers to One also Reminder of the One's past What comes around goes around One has lived the reaping Of One's owns mistakes One Sincerly and Truly Wishes Two the Best May Happiness abound Two's Life

WHY DO GUYS VIEW MY PROFILE OVER AND OVER? Posted: 7/7/2007 4:24:20 PM
Hi Ready....that damn caps button I hope that was an accident. lol Surprised this did not get deleted on that alone. Anyways....aside from what everybody has already stated I can add why I do it to a couple peeps. One has already humoursly labled me his profile stalker thank the goddess he didna mean it cuz i did feel badly. (we started out strangers) He changes his so often, is an awesome and eloquant writer so I love reading what he puts there. It is often heart stopping, endearing, usually funny and always makes me use my brain with his brain teasers. I often send him little comments on it so...if you have an entertaining profile in any way to someone...this could be one reason even if they never contact you. It took me a lot of nerve the first time to initate a "comment" of any sort to this man on his profile because I did not want to be taken the wrong way. lol I am a confident person but he is quite intimidating in some ways ... gotta love that ALL 100% Male Aspect ... gets a woman's attention in more than one way. And even after a long time of humourous contact I finally broke down to make a very personal comment to him, so ... something in your profile just might be eye catching (pics, words, writing style, what you have wrote, any number of things!) enough to keep someone coming back but they just might not know what the heck to say without sticking their foot in their mouth ... I mean really, who wants to do that? lol Two of my friends, one being male another being female have quotes on them that I love reading from time to time... I have a few on my fav's list that I enjoy reading their posts.... so I have to visit their profile now to get to them. It really could be a number of things. Ask them. Although if it falls under the first one I listed here you might a "ub deee dub deee dub deee dubb deee dub" email back from them ;)

HELP!!! Top 10 most aggressive dogs????? Posted: 7/6/2007 11:55:55 PM
First - I believe training is essential. I am a siberian husky owner and she let strangers in the home and in the yard without ever moving from her sleeping position! In no particular order: 1) German Shepherds 2) Chow Chow 3) Doberman 4) Pit bull breeds 5) Rottweiler 6) Malamute 7) Akita 8) Great Dane 9) Husky breeds 10) Saint Bernard Male, intact dogs are more prone to biting. Any other debates? Any other debates? yes...the words in the first part of the post says it all: I believe training is essential. I have a pittie/mastiff/hound/doxy mix and she is a handlful but properly trained she is also the safest. I had a dobe/german shepard/husky mix-that was one of the sweetest and funniest dogs on the face of the planet! Not too mention the easiest to train. These two dogs are the best dogs I have ever been around not too mention the sweetest and most child safe. Training is everything, not too mention how you treat them and the environment they are in.

Ladies, what is it that you hope to accomplish? Posted: 7/6/2007 10:12:06 PM
I think we may all be missing the boat by not dating zombies.. even though they are a tad needy. The sex can be hit and miss sometimes too but I seriously am interested in gaining insight here from the ones who do these types of things The next time you see it email the woman and ask her what she means then. Or better yet...get to know her. I could spend the next hour explaining it to you but it would all boil down to one thing...you are looking at it from a guys perspective and taking what a woman says and not seeing what she says as a whole and what she is actually meaning. And for most of us it might be the same but for others it might not.

i can believe everyone has been ditching me because i don't have a picture .... Posted: 7/6/2007 4:45:48 PM
I know exactly what ya mean but I stuck to my guns about the no pic, my rule was and still is... my face and it gets shown on MY terms not anybody else's. Don't like it...use that mouse and keep right on clickin. It has only been recently that I put one out. What this has shown me is who the ones that I do not want to have any communication with whatsoever and who are worth my time. The ones that stayed and got to know me for an indepth book of a profile and no face (but eventually did get a pic from me after I got to know them!) and to this day I am still friends with them. You will get called nasty names, whiny, and things that might need to be edited lol so I wont put them out here but let me tell you...those are not people worth your time. I took a quick peak at your profile before I posted. It states you are a Spaniard (sp)...good luck my friend. If you are a traditional one (I have not read all your posts in here sorry-my head is currently pounding) you are fighting an uphill battle in this pond. If you are a traditional one...you might want to go into a bit of detail about that in your profile. I know what the qualities of one are and how the differences of a Spaniard (sp) and a Mexican are and what they look for in a woman and life but not all American women do. I was quite suprised to find otu there is actually a difference. :) If I was not so headstrong I could go for a traditional Spainard (sp) myself...but one would never be able to put up with my mouth lol Sorry if I went off topic here peeps and The Mod Squad...jsut trying to help the poor man too. Good luck OP be patient and dont bend on your morals...having morals and sticking to them is a good quality that women look for in a man :) Rocky

Angry-Names of other sites changed in e-mails Posted: 7/6/2007 1:07:30 AM
Maybe something should be implemented to where the filter is no longer enforced once initial contact has been made. This way someone can't make an account and just randomly spam every user with "Go to my MySpace music page!", but if "User A" messages "User B", and "User B" messages "User A" back, they are now free to send links back and forth with eachother. Does this make sense to anyone? And what is to stop these spammers from using this to their advantage and conning someone? Just another door that is opened for more grief that the filter would have to be reimplemented if they did modify it...just 'nother can a worms that would have to be delt with on top of keeping the site running as it is. Why the grief? Like the other poster above me says...ya got email addys outta here; why not use them?

different times on fav lists Posted: 7/4/2007 6:28:44 PM
Favs is supposed to display Login times in your local time zones. I actually think it displays last active date and not Login time. SO if you logged in 30 minutes ago and are still surfing it would display the current time. At least that is how it is supposed to work. From what I have seen this is the case with the people on your fav list. I know from people that I email on a reg basis those that I am on their fav list when they relog in the time on that list is what shows up. So the times are WAY WAY different. It was quite confusing to me at first until I saw a post of traps long ago and it made sense.

Ticket I think it does, she just needs to get some sleep or some more "go juice" for her brain. Edit: It will make sense when you get some sleep darlin! LOL Example for ya hun, I have a friend that when he logs in for the day like today I think it was at 3ish. That showed up on him being on my fav list. He was not online for about 30 minutes. He checked his email from me about 30 minutes later which showed that time with me on his fav list and that email being read at that time. So the times were dif. Make sense somewhat now? Hun the only way I know a Mod is on is if there IM link shows up or I am posting and I see them posting. oh rocky.. your making me work to hard and it is half past witching hour Go to bed woman! It'll make sense when ya get some sleep for that sleep deprived brain of yours...I'm the same way. Love ya to babe

do I make sense? lol.. am useless with wording things You know I am too...we speaka the same English babe! So I get ya loud and clear, always have darlin. ;) Hope this helps, if not email me and we will see if we caan work it out amongst our muddled brains like always you put someone on your fav list and for example tonight,the last time they signed in was 10.40pm... because he added me also I saw on my fav list that it was actually 11.53pm.... what is that all about? ten mins or so different is understandable... but that is a hell of a difference... You on their fav list if I am rembering correctly, although trappy is the best one here, is the last time he/she logged into their mailbox. I do not remember what the other time is. Maybe trapped will find this or you could email him? I know all I can remember is I ran across one of his posts awhile back. say we had a mod on our fav list to get hold of if needed... they don't add us... no problem... but the time difference is incorrect... so it does not tell us your on line If ya need to reach 'em email them and wait till they get back to ya. If it is urgent and important that ya know they read it keep it in your inbox till ya know it says "Read". All ya can do babe.

Dog collars...for dogs Posted: 7/3/2007 1:46:05 PM
I dont think that your trainer was necessarily abusive. People treat their dogs like they are humans and they are not humans, dogs are pack animals and need to be very clear of where they fit in the pack and what behaviour is acceptable. Chances are she was scared when the trainer yanked her down, that is the point of the excercise, she is not the dominant animal and needs to be obedient to YOU. Watch a pack of wolves on the nature channel, they dont sit around and cuddle each other until they reach a concensus, dogs are no different in that area. What we may consider "mean" is many times how dogs naturally interact with each other. You do not have to beat a dog to submission but you do have to be the Alpha dog and the Alpha dog is firm and dominant. Your dog is a potential law suit waiting to happen and could do much harm to another animal or other people with the animal she is going ballistic at. The fact that your dog may not understand that she is not the pack leader could be why she is so aggressive with other dogs who she may percieve as coming into her territory. You need to deal with this right away as you have a big dog that could easily get away from you and either maul another animal/person or she may pick a fight with another dog and get mauled/killed herself. I agree with this for the most part...99.999999% of it. I do have a question though...the trainer did this with the pinch collar on? Or a reg collar? You are not supposed to do that kind of thing with a pinch collar on! They are not to be used in that manner. While I agree with what your trainer did in the other aspects although the trainer should have walked you through what was being done and had YOU do it. Lemme explain some here as I have been there. I have a pittie/mastiff mix. She is ALL mastiff though in dominance and does not know she is not the size of one. The thing with doing what the trainer did and teaching the submission like that (keep in mind it is ONLY you that this should be done with and it should only have to be done one or two times depending on how head strong of a dog you have) What they look for is the dog to go into a certain position, which is basiccally relaxed and in a "Ok, waiting on Alpha's command on what I should do next" (lamens terms here), as in doggie land that is what the Alpha does...tells the pack what to do and leads them. Keeps them in line when they get out of line (biting etc) You should be the alpha or you are going to have a dog that will someday not only attack some other animal but eventually will attack you if it ever percieves that you are "not paying attention to what he/she is telling YOU to do" in doggie language. They do not speak human, they speak doggie and you need to learn doggie. You can love them like they are human and still treat them like they are but ya have to go about it in a doggie language way...kinda wierd sounding I know. :) But I found a way too and I have to keep mine in a rigorous training routine everyday to let her know she is NOT the alpha, just little things (eating last and a time limit, she has to sit before she gets fed, petted, or going outside, going out the door last, she gets petted on my whim not when she wants it-which turns out to be ALL the time on my whim ) she earns her keep so to speak in this pack of ours...just like if she were in a pack in the wild or on the streets she would have too. :)

Must be since Admin put the new hamster in cuz I've not had an issue with it. I have not done a search for a good two weeks or better though. Maybe he needs to change the hamster's diet?

Asking a girl out via e-mail? Posted: 7/1/2007 7:01:42 PM
Well I guess what I am getting at Seavoyage is I have a profile that screams just friends and taht is all. I got to know someone that took my being nice and wanting to email him as more than that. Upon this I clarified for him that I was just wanting friends and I became the villian and had led him on. I gave him no lead up that there was anything more than friends (believe me I went back to make sure of it-I'm bad about saving emails and even sent them to another friend for an outside point of view). He was interested and "saw" something that was not there because we got along but did not see the writing on the wall (my profile). So, just do not assume that because you and her get on and there is constant communication and in others past or yours that it has led to more that it will in this case. If she just states friends, dont open yourself up to something that will blow up in your face by jumping the gun. Be her friend, but too realize that until she tells you there could be more...that is all you are going to get. I dont mean to be harsh but if you think it will be "rejection" on your part, look at it from the other side of the coin. she thinks she has this friend only to have this come out of left field and then be basically dumped as a friend because you expect more when she was not offering more. Dating is not part of just a friendship. Ya know?

Asking a girl out via e-mail? Posted: 7/1/2007 12:03:59 PM
Ok, I have a few comments here and please do not be offended ok? This is not meant to be mean or cruel, I am jsut a blunt person. First off if her profile just says friends than until she says more than friends or dating or romance...that is all it probably it is. She told me that she would like to know me, we could learn form each other, and she likes my experiences. She didn't use the word friend with me, but she did use the word relationships with people, and she commented on how I consider being bluntness a form of honesty, and that she would hope that she could at least give me honesty in our relationship. All you have in a relationship with her is frienship and you say you are not reading more into it but this worries me here: I am not reading more into this being a nice girl, who is cute, that I wouldn't mind dating, but it's whatever... She has already stated in her profile she is just there for friends. Dont get your hopes up that she is interested in more than friends just because you are building a friendship with her...it could go to that but remember...it has to be her decision. If she is not up for more than friendship, for whatever the reason may be (and there could be numerous ones), than you are setting yourself up for rejection with this comment here: I don't want to jump the gun and ask too early. I am not sure what too early is, though. I am not a coward I could do it right away... I just want to have some advice...I can handle rejection, but needless rejection is not my cup of tea. Talk to her about it as a friend instead of asking her out. Because if she is just being cautious and she does not mind taking that next step you are respecting her boundaries and her. That is another way of showing just how much you really llike a woman and goes a long way. :) If she is just wanting friends and nothing more, then you have not totally put your foot in your mouth (from the way you would be looking at it) and she can be (hopefully she will be anyways, I would be in her shoes) level with you about it and still keep a friendship in the process with each knowing where the friendship sits.

Carrying Concealed Weapons (CCW) Posted: 7/1/2007 2:28:44 AM
I'd wager to guess it he'd shot him in the leg he'd have still kept his precious wallet. Or I give them my money and jewellry and call the insurance company in the morning and get new jewellry and feel good. Or I can kill soebody and need counselling and feel "absolutley horrible". Gee, tough call. New watch or 10 years of psychotherapy. How do you know that some kid that has been dumb enough or deluded enough to take a gun and point it at a human being for what ever reason (possibly drugs?) isn't going to shoot you? You willing to take that risk? I've got a family, anybody that is dumb enough to point a gun at me had better be ready to be facing one themselves. I was raised with guns and taught that if you point one at somebody it because you are going to be pulling the trigger. Hunting, target practice and protection if ever needed...and having respect for them, using them wisely and being smart about it-not that complicated really. I have a licence to conceal and when I learned to shoot my handgun they taught me too what NP is reitterating...chest shot. If it doesn't kill them it will at least stop them and they can't fire the gun at YOU. It does not take that much with a slippery finger for a gun to go off and if you shoot them in the leg and the knee jerk reaction they could fire that gun and if not shoot you somebody else standing in the vacinity...ya know how far a bullet travels in open air? I've seen one go through walls, a door, window and through somebody's bottom lip out of stupidity and end up 3 blocks down the road in anothers neighbors home. A kid thaat is willing to mess with a gun is not somebody I am going to just agree too if given the opportunity to protect myself... what the people in the community did to this man is utterly horrible, he could have been killed and if NOT those kids could have gone on to do others things...damn that is just sad.

Have you ever actually seen a UFO? Posted: 7/1/2007 1:51:50 AM
Yes I have and I ducked just in time before it hit my head. Unbeknownst to me my son had brought it home with him from daycare and got it outta his bag. Then he thought he'd play fetch with the doggie and threw it down the hallway, I turned when I heard doggie "woof" and the carpet "crunch" from her nails pulling out of it as she takes off full speed ahead. I knew something was up then and most likely not good by the sound of the "woof" I heard...that was pure TROUBLE UFO's are not good in a small apartment

POF Roses: -- suggestion: make the link less prominent Posted: 6/30/2007 11:09:11 PM
Glad I read the thread. I was thinking of sending one to someone who might appreciate a pick-me-up. That "Be Mine" aspect should be displayed prominently. Wish I had read the thread when i sent mine...I about shyt bricks when I saw the "be mine" and had to chase it with a "Did NOT know that was there!" Because it was just a "get well wish" to a male friend who was very down and I could not give him a hug. Although this thread is most enlightening ... :)

shouldnt the bible evolve to encompass what we know now?... and not what we knew then? Posted: 6/30/2007 7:47:26 PM
of course the bible is useful...where else would we put our hand when we testify in court In the air When I testified at the trial for my divorce we did not use a bible at all, and acutally I think most states are going to doing that. A lot of people will not "swear" on a bible. I know I will not. I find it kind of distastful (and not because I am not a christian...I think it is disrespectful) no matter what the content is, whether it has been updated or not. :)

For some there is more to life than Paris Hilton and gaming (if you mean online/computer stuff or what hunting has turned into for the sport crap). I know most of my friends this is the case entirely.

I simply miss her Posted: 6/30/2007 3:53:46 PM
Ya know...I thought that I missed him and then I remembered the dealbreaker..that was a hard thing for me to do, to leave him behind and I missed him like crazy. I never thought he'd do something like that and it was just devastating to have to do it because in so many other ways we "fit". Then come to find out the wonderful times we had he turned and twisted into something horrible and nasty...that was the clincher for me...they were fun filled laughter times not what he portrayed them as. That is not a man I would want in my life...sometimes life happens for a reason, that is the one thing I have found. I miss who he said and made himself out to be-not who he really was. Therein lies the difference, I miss what could have been with him if he had been who makes himself out to be. But alas, he is not truly that man, so I move on. Lesson learned, but truly a hard one. :( Good luck to all those who have posted here about missing someone. I wish you the best :)

Any new way of looking at God is a new enlightenment to God... If God is all things or everywhere or "omnipossible" (Did I make that word up?) that would mean that everyone's take on God is partially right because everyone is partially God... Stoney...I agree here totally. I love that word btw. I am going to write that down. :) If we look within ourselves we will all find that we all can find the peace and harmony to not only talk to God/a Divine Being (whichever works for you) and let it be a part of you...what a more enlightening experience to know that you can walk side by side, hand in hand, heart in heart, soul in soul, with that? Too bad we cannot all come together and realize that regardless of color, religion or any other differences, we are all one.... inherently interconnected.. And this is ssad too...until we stop fighting and condeming and judging others for our differences ther will always be wars, hate and discontent... we may have separate races etc but we are all one species on one earth...
