Will my new girlfriend (whenever that will be) accept me for breaking up from the familly? Posted: 11/14/2009 10:58:02 AM
Silent Guiardian, read the book "Toxic People" it will really provide more understanding to your dilema, it was written by a professional, and illustrates ways to better deal with difficult people in your life. We all have different levels of what/how we allow others to treat us. We grow up being told that we pick our friends and deal with our families, and unfortunately this is true. However the home grown insturctuions end there, and many people who we are related to abuse the priviledge and responsibility they have to other members of their family. It is not appropriate for anyone in any family, to use emotional ties to abuse or blackmail another family member. There are times when standing up to them works and other times when it will not. Most family members who emotionally abuse or blackmail others in their family are nothing more than selfish, self serving, bullies. The book shows different ways to deal effectively with different types of toxic people, and sometimes the only way to rescue yourself is to have nothing to do with them. I know this from experiences in my own family and at different times in my life with in-laws. I am no longer troubled by the toxic people in my life, and when I encounter a new toxic person, I pull out my reference book and take quick appropriate action. The book has really helped me and is a better value than countless hours talking to a therapist.

CFL Football 2009 Posted: 11/4/2009 3:53:48 PM
heard the paraphrasing about what Coach Kelly said on the news. Hmmmm.....could I fault him for being frustrated, saying things in frustrating, or feeling under attack since he became head coach of the Bombers? I would say "NO", I think he is just human like the rest of us and I have said things when emotions were running high in me and later wished those words never rolled out of my mouth. He did apologize in the media for what he said, which is unlike many others who have acted in the same manner. If I was the coach I would be very upset at the loss to the Al's after the last 2 wins. The other posters have it right and everthing is up to what the Bombers do in their next game. I am hoping they get their "groove" back and play like the professionals they are. I also hope the coaches do a better job of steering the ship, so to speak. I agree that the last game was terrible. Unlike others in this thread, I hope Coach Kelly will remain in his position next year. The last 2 wins shows exactly what the Bombers are capable of doing and maybe some (including me) were a bit hasty in critizing some of the decisions Kelly made. This last game just stunk of bad coaching and bad playing by many on the team, and cost us a win. IMO Kelly made coaching errors midway in the first quarter when he saw some of the players struggling and that the team was lacking the dominance they had in the previous games. Kelly should have subsituted the players who were having a bad day and used the second string and bench warming players. Everyone can have a off day, and the coach should be making better use of all the players and giving others on the team a chance to do better than a first string player who is having an off day. When the line could not protect Bishop, some of the players should have been replaced and/or the formations that were not working should have been changed. I see it this way - if a key will not fit into a lock and you have others on your key ring - try a different key for a different result. Bishop was missing his mark on a lot of plays and should have been replaced in the first quarter and made to practice some throws on the sidelines to see if his accuracy would improve. Nothing against Bishop he was just having a bad day. Troy Westwood - now why did Kelly bring him back, as he was a hot/cold kicker, and I was glad to see him leave/retire/whatever. I am not happy that he was allowed to practice on the field, at the expense of putting points on the scoreboard. What was that silly looking running kick he kept trying to make? As I watched it, all I could relate it to was the Peanuts cartoon where Lucy is holding the football for Charlie Brown and then pulled it away just as he was going to connect with the ball. I have no idea why Kelly pulled Serna who started the game by putting points on the board and replaced him with Westwood who failed miserably at trying to put points on the scoreboard. Not a good coaching choice. What was up with the receivers not being able to hold onto the balls Bishop was able to get to them? Some of the receivers were catching the football like girls who would not bring the ball close to their body in fear of getting their clothes dirty. Add that to bad throwing when Bishop called a play and instead of seeing who was open - would just toss it at the receiver who was in a crowd with 2 or 3 opposing players and not see another receiver less than 5' away who was in the clear. This should not of been happening. Lets hope the team gets it together for the next game......................GO BOMBERS.....Go Big or pack for your end of season vacation while the rest of the country watches the playoffs and Grey Cup Game.

Dudley, I disagree with your comment about MTS. MTS was a crown corp. when shaw and videon came here with cable television. The big controversary was that they were allowed to use the infastructure by running their wires off the existing infastructure and they did not pay to maintain the infastructure. Their only responsibility was to pay for their wires that were branched off from the main infastructure lines. When MTS became a public traded corporation, it was only then that infastructure costs and the emergency phone number 911 costs were re-distributed. Now about auto insurance - your coment about MPIC undercutting "other honest insurance companies", in my opinion is a crock. All business is set up to make money. When MPIC was originally created, insurance was less expensive as they removed the tier system that other insurance charged additional premiums for, such as drivers under the age of 21, people who have bad driving records and those who had numerous accidents. Looking at the way people drive with our "no faut" insurance shows that this has not been good thing. At this point in time, MPIC treats everyone as though they are guilty and trying to cheat the system. Their rules/legislation does not protect the good drivers from the bad, it just allows bad drivers to continue driving bad and causing more accidents. The only reason MB Hydro is getting into the alternative heating is eliminate the possibility of future competition. I don't believe that electrical and natural gas costs should be as high as they are, if you are considering them truly a crown corp.

Strike! Posted: 10/4/2009 7:25:33 AM
Before the nails puncture one my arteries, let me clarify some things. My comments about not supporting the Hydro strike were from looking at the strike based on the economics of the country. I'm not against unions and having a centralized bargaining unit for workers. Why I am not supporting the strike is because Hydro has not reduced jobs or tried to take away previously negotiated benefits, while they have offered an increase and guaranteed jobs for in a 4 year contract. I am certain that the Electrical tradesmen outside of hydro do not have the overall pay and benefits packages, or the guarantee of a job for 4 years. This is why I don't support the Hydro strike. If the electrical workers as an entire group were looking for wage parity with another province and all the benefits and cost of living were also in that equasion, then I would be supporting it. I know from being in a union environment that many people seem to forget about the benefits they receive and the union never brings the total cost of benefits into the picture.......at least to the workers. When MB Hydro matches the employees conbtribution for pension, dental, medical, insurance, and other benefits, where do you think the money comes from? It doesnt just fall off the money tree. Management looks at the total cost of staff which includes benefits, while union negotiators and union members are only looking at the salary numbers. I'm not against anyone earning a fair wage for the work they do, but I believe the "comparison data" is often manipulated to show desired results of the group wanting the data. It is no different than the cut and paste that goes on in the forums. One person clips a portion of an idea or comment and runs in a different direction with the information. About the Mr. Potter comment - there you go putting words in my mouth again - lol. There is a big difference between being a business owner and being hired staff. If someone puts their money into running a business then they should make more money than the staff because of the risk involved in running a business. I know many people who own their own business and its great when times are good, but its a different thing when you cannot draw a paycheck or have to take a reduced amount, because you don't get the work/contract, or make the sales for reasons like our current recession. Regardless of this staff and the bills must be paid, its the owner who takes the risk of not getting a paycheck. I have friends who this has happened to in the last 3 months, so it is a factor. Its unfortunate that many people who are in a union or are staff don't think about these things, because they get a paycheck ever 2 weeks.

Kirk Cameron compares Charles Darwin to Hitler! Posted: 10/3/2009 9:36:19 PM
I have heard many people describe Hitler besides being a mad man, of being a genius. Charles Darwin was also a genius, but from reading things about him and his life, I found his character to be less than decent, and I would class him as rather "flakey". Everyone has idiocrincricies and things they are anal about, its human nature. If Kirk Cameron referenced the comparision of Hitler to Darwin in the sense of them both being a genius, then I'm ok with that. Its really hard for anyone living to say with any kind of verification that the bible, religion and what we know about the science or religious belief of the world or creation is right. Stories were told about the world being flat, until Columbus proved otherwise. We can only prove/disprove things we can test, which excludes ancient languages, religion and how the world was created. We all can believe what we like and we are all entitled to our opinions. Kirk Cameron included. Many books/position papers have been written challenging or hypothizing beliefs. I think many people make too much out of things that cannot be verified, such as Dan Browns fictional book the Da Vinci Code.

Believe! Posted: 10/3/2009 9:20:51 PM
I think many "beliefs" are the effects of conditioning. As a child we are conditioned to "believe" the "norms" of our environment. If our parents do certain things, we tend to follow until we become adults and march by our own drums, so to speak. Well some people do, and some don't, as some just continue on as their parents did. We all have different levels of education, intellegence and interest in challenging beliefs. I believe the more we learn, the more we can challenge beliefs, change personal perceptions and possibly make the world a better place.

Strike! Posted: 10/3/2009 9:04:18 PM
The industry norms does not include special benefits Hydro employees such as the following employer supported benefits: pension plan, dental/medical plans, health insurance, tool/work clothes allowances, paid vacation time, and I am probably forgetting some other benefits. If you take the lower Hydro salaries and include the actual costs of the benefits, you will find your salaray including benefits and job security is better than the industry norms. People are leaving Hydro to work out west due to the hourly wage, and many forget that the wage may be higher, but so are living expenses. I know people who have left to "strike it big" and came back complaining about how expensive things were. When you are negotiating contracts, there is a dance of bargaining that goes on. However, I have found that people who are in unions tend to be blind of the goings on in the world as they have secured employment, regardless of what the rest of the industry is going through. In the current economic situation where many people are loosing their jobs and major construction projects are being delayed, I think being offered a wage increase in the first year of the contract and guaranteed employment for 4 years is better than going on strike. In a strike no one wins except the union representatives as they are paid their full salary. We have just seen the auto industry break the unions, so I think its just a matter of time till other unions are challenged. We are living in an world economy where the people of Canada are generally buying the majority of items made elsewhere due to its cheaper price, because labour is being paid less. So, as industries continue to evaporate in Canada, anyone who thinks we can live the lifestyle we have previously enjoyed are living in a glass bubble. I don't see unions retaining the power they had in the past when people won't support industry and manufacturing being done in Canada.

I personally don't support the MB Hydro strike as pay increases on salaries which are above the industry norm is not fair. There are many people who will not only loose their jobs, but many others will not see pay raises this year or in the next few years as business is generally hurting everywhere. Hydro has health benefits while others in your industry do no have them - so to have increased benefits works out to a overall pay increase. The same goes for employer sponsored pension plans, many people in other segments of your industry do not have this, so once again these workers are above the industry norm. Personally I dont have a problem with your union going in with expectations of 8% - but in reality, I'm leaning toward thoughts of greediness on the part of your union, and to any workers who believe they are worth it - what has any of you done above and beyond the required to show you are worthy of what you are presently getting? There are many people in your industry that would be happy just knowing they were protected and had a job for the next 4 years as the Hydro employees do. I guess I'm the wrong person to ask, if you are looking for support.

Susan CD I totally disagree with you about the cbc being able to compete with others in the sector. Its cbc and only cbc that funded radio and tv to remote areas, as it was not profitable for the other stations. Now if the govt are the keepers of the public purse, why not let them compete in the market and sell advertising - this action would reduce the amount of funds required from the taxpayers. I think people forget why the cbc was originally created - to provide radio and tv to all of Canada, and to promote Canadian made programming. There are some good programs being produced in Canada and too many people are so media brainwashed that they don't take the time to view Canadian programming and judge for themselves - they would rather believe the ratings and commercials by US broadcasting stations. Allowing other crown corporations to compete in the market place did not hurt MTS or others. It was our govt tax dollars that provided the infastructure that the competitors of MTS did not have to pay to use - so there is absolutetly no foul being called when a crown corp. competes in the market.

OK I just have to ask Posted: 10/2/2009 11:41:53 AM
"Consentual incest" as McKenzie described her relationship with her dad, shows just how messed up this woman is. I can't imagine a victim carrying that burden. This is still incest and molestation/rape as she was a minor when this appeared to happen. I'm sorry, but if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, its still a duck, and calling it "consentual incest" is like putting a pair of sunglasses on a duck and calling it a swan.

OK I just have to ask Posted: 10/1/2009 5:23:44 PM
I have given this "coming out" so to speak little regard, and have just tossed the info onto the pile of screwed up celebs who have moral issues, abuse issue, self esteem issues and appear to strive towards personal destruction. Its a shame that McKenzie Phillips like many other child stars with famous parents could not grow up without problems or addictions. Being famous sells and when dirt can be uncovered, the media puts on its big red nose and parades people around the big ring of their media circus. I people don't buy the tabloids, they would soon be out of business. I feel very sorry for any child that has been molested/raped by an adult, regardless of their social position, fame or income level. As a parent, I am saddend that children are not protected and parents can/do harm their children. I believe that McKenzie may have needed the time since her fathers death to deal with this issue, as she might have been afraid of her dad to confront him while he was alive. Pedophiles have a way of making the children they molest bear the responsibility for their inappropriate actions. She may have spent the years since her dad's death trying to stop the drug abuse and deal with her childhood with the help of therapists. Unless we are directly involved in what was going on, I don't think its appropriate to pass any kind of judgement, on McKenzie or other children who have been victims of any kind of abuse - physical or sexual.

hand sanitizers Posted: 9/29/2009 9:07:11 PM
I was sent an email recently from an out of province friend, about a little girl in preschool/daycare that was lethargic and was rushed to the hospital emergency unit. After numerous hours, numerous tests and everyone being scared almost to death, it was discovered that the child had been licking her fingers during snack time, after using a waterless hand sanitizer that the daycare made all the children use, to reduce/eliminate germs for the children's safety. The chemicals used in the waterless hand sanitizer had left a residue on her hands that she ingested when she licked her fingers and hands as most kids do when they eat. I am glad that it was not a fatal accident that occured, and the little girl was ok. I grew up being told to wash my hands with good old soap and water, and often being told to go back and wash all the dirt off, before I was allowed to come to the table and eat a meal. I think this is one of those old fashioned ideas that seems to have survived the test of time, as no kid I ever knew got sick from a bar of soap being stuffed into their mouths to clean the dirty language that sometimes slipped out in front of an adult or parent.

Narkle - good post and I agree with you. The bombers last game certainly was a pleasant surprise. They came to play at the opening kick off...................definitely a positive step forward. The game itself was not as thrilling as other games in the league, but it was exciting to see plays completed, field goals between the uprights, touchdowns and a winning score. Not sure what prompted the improvement, but it was nice to see. I am still of the opinion that Kelly and the other coaches are competent. I hope the bombers continue to improve and win, as I was not too impressed with the previous efforts the bombers executed in their determination to win the honors of being last place in the league.

TYK - my comments about Kelly were not related to his bald head. While I do think that some bald men are quite attractive, bald men do not make me loose my sense of reason. Way 2 funny! I am a bomber fan who is tired of the head coach and the players being blamed for all the problems. Does the head coach and players make mistakes, absolutely, but, I believe the the "higher bees" as you describe then, are responsible for more of the problems. The problems that I sense, stem from a terrible environment, upper management not knowing what they want and continually changing their mind about what they want and how the coach and players are to deliver it. These problems have not been only with this year's head coach/players - its been going on year after year, with numerous staff changes. When Milt S. was playing the game was wrapped around him - tsk tsk he is gone and what - the team was reduced to rubble...............Other teams have been able to keep coaches and players, by providing a good environment. I believe the environment your "higher bees" provides, sux big time - otherwise players would not be wanting to be traded, would be fully participating instead of just waiting for their contracts to be up. Each of us has worked with someone or a group of people who make life miserable in the workplace, just because they can.................so, my thoughts are that the bomber management are in this group. Last weekend's bomber game was just plain fugly and it totally reflected how the bombers have no desire to play good ball. Can it get any worse?

You just turn your pretty head and walk away Posted: 9/17/2009 8:29:20 PM
The truly adult thing would be to talk about what each of you are looking for in a relationship. I have never had a problem walking away from a man or being walked away from by a man, if we did not mutually agree on things that we each felt were deal breakers for either of us. Unfortunatly there are a lot of people out there with severe baggage and have little or no idea about what they have to offer someone, or what they are looking for. Trust me, I know cause there were many first meets that I wish I had brought my running shoes. I don't try and figure someone out - if I have any doubt about anything including intimacy, I just ask. I don't have the time or desire to act like a school girl wondering how much a guy likes me. I'm a lady and appreciate the man I am dating to be a gentleman - if he is anything less, I usually let him go out and find someone better suited to what he is looking for. I give as good as I get, so I don't play games.

TYK - you cannot forgive Kelly terminating the call ins on the radio show - are you serious? I applaude him for it. Do you know how many nut bars call into those shows to rant? I don't listen to CJOB call in show for that very reason, and if I'm in someone elses vehicle who is listening, my tolerance is about 3 phone calls and then I'm ready to get out and walk to where ever we are going. If people thought we had "rainman" here in the forums, its 100 times worse on the radio. One would have to be a masicist to set themselves up for that. I don't believe Kelly's contract called for him to be the sacrificial lamb for all the mistakes made by the Bomber organization. I know if I was the head coach and if things were going on "out of camera" that were beyond my control, and I was not allowed to talk about them, I sure in hell would not be opening myself up to get ranted on by the public. Has Kelly made mistakes on matters he had control over - most likely because he is human like all of us. I just find it really hard to believe that when ever the Bombers have problems, everything is blamed on the head coaches or the whining players. If problems are resulting from the upper management butting in or over riding decisions the coaches make, I dont think its right that the coaches take the blame. I have said before that other teams have gone through growing pains and have improved, but here we seem to just change the sacrificial lambs and allow the only constant (the upper management) to just keep on ticking like a Timex watch. Wake up people!

Cheating- can you forgive? Posted: 9/17/2009 6:43:59 PM
I was cheated on by my first ex, and it took a long time for me to get over it. My ex wound up having a shotgun wedding to the woman he cheated on me with, and they are still together. I recently found out he was taken to court to pay for a child he help create when he cheated on his current wife. I really dont think cheaters ever loose their spots. For me, I did eventually forgiven my ex, but I have never forgot what he did to me. I left when I found out he had cheated on me, as that was something I could not live with or put up with. I attended his mothers funeral this year, as I thought she was a wonderful woman and I was sorry to learn of her death. It had been 30 years since I had last seen my ex and I needed to have his brother who I see regularily in business point him out to me after the funeral. It was funny because he did not recognize me either, and when his brother introduced us, he had a shocked look on his face. I think its safe to say that I have aged better than he has, but it was fun catching up. I hold no ill will or nasty wishes for him, but I would never believe anything that ever came out of his mouth, or put myself in a position where I would have to rely or trust him, as he proved himself unworthty to me. I had a wonderful time catching up to people I knew a lifetime ago, and I am not sorry in the least for leaving him.

A Question About 2 Situations - 1 Conclusion Posted: 9/17/2009 6:28:54 PM
OP - I think your age has a lot to do with your problem. Some people (men and women) read things into a scenario that are not there. If I am in a store or out where a stranger chats me up, or I start talking to him, I dont read anything into it. If a man is interested in me, I believe it up to him to let me know - my gawd, I'm no friggin mind reader! The same goes for me, if I happen to meet someone I am interested in, I believe its up to me to let him know. There is no guarantee that you won't get shot down in flames or told "sorry, I'm in a relationship or married". However if you don't try, you won't know. Big thing is to not take rejection persaonal - I always say its the guy's loss if he does not want to get to know me better. Communication is much better than trying to figure someone out or making foolish assumptions.

A Dangerous Perspective Posted: 9/17/2009 6:02:54 PM
OP - As another poster has mentioned, I feel you are looking for approval of your actions or plans. Sorry, but you won't be getting approval from this lady. I find it rather sad to hear a married person not working something out with their spouse to get beyond the problem. I actually feel sorry for your wife and children if you have any. If you celebrated your marriage with a church ceremony, you made vows to your wife. Breaking those shows you are disrespectful to your wife, but also that you are a man who cannot be trusted, as your word means sh!t. I'm divorced and was in a relationship void of intimacy for the last 6-8 years (can't remember exactly....not that the numbers matter a lot). I have met many men while I was married who I had that incredible attraction for, and had many opportunities to cheat, but I am a woman of my word, and remained faithful even though I was not intimate with my husband. When I had enough of being married, I left. I didn't run into the arms of another man, I left to start my life over once again, and make a better choice of a partner to have a relationship with. Today I'm divorced, I like who I look at in the mirror each morning when I brush my teeth, and if/when its time to give my word about being faithful or exclusivity in a relationship, it will mean something to both of us. I know many married people who cheated, or left a marriage to be with the person they cheated with - only to be cheated on in return, and I have absolutely no sympathy for that person, because what goes around, comes around. Cheaters can have each other, as respectful people steer clear of them.

Random acts of Kindness.... Posted: 9/17/2009 8:43:37 AM
Random acts of kindness usually make the giver feel good about themselves. What I find to be the unexpected reward is the receivers reaction of acknowledgement by how they say thanks, or their smile, or the look in their eyes. As humans, we need to feel appreciated and unfortunately we are often taken for granted by those we care about the most. For some people their lack of feeling appreciated makes them appear to be looking for a "reward" after showing a random act of kindness to a stranger. I have bought mittens for kids in the winter who were standing at a bus stop without any and it was -30 with the windchill. I have helped elderly people load groceries from their carts into their cars at the store. I have on 3 or more separate occassions driven elderly ladies home from Polo Park who lived in the area and were either too hot or too tired to walk home. I don't expect anything from any of this and refused money offered to me by the ladies I have driven home. It felt good telling them to go out for coffee, or take a friend to lunch, on me with that money. I think doing these things are good for the soul. When I am sad or feeling sorry for myself, I often think about things I have done for others, what people have done for me and just remembering the smiles and warmth of being appreciated, gets me over it quickly. Printer, taking the trouble to get that picture for that lady was really nice of you. Does anyone else have the urge to rent the movie "Pay It Forward" again?

Chucknorris1 - I think Kelly is taking the heat, just as the previous coaches have for decisions that were made by Bomber management, such as Bauer. You are right about Simpson wanting to be traded and now I'm re-thinking my previous position about the issues with Armstrong. I had said he was a whiner and wanted his own way, when he might have been suffering from the effects of management trying to make his life miserable while under contract when he displeased him. Maybe Armstrong didn't handle the media properly and made himself look bad, when it could have been organization issues. I actually feel sorry for the coaches and players if the management are making life difficult for them. We have gone through so many coaches and players who have done better once they left the Bomber Organization.............my thoughts the management of the organization needs to be overhauled...............now I'm excited about the new ownership of the Bombers.

TYK - an angel you say................shucks how does a lady respond Your theory of Bauer's heart attack, etc. fits with the things I have been saying. It really never added up that other teams have been struggling/rebuilding, etc. and got somewhere with their efforts - everyone that is except the Bombers. The only constant has been the uppper organization. We have gone though so many coaches, QB's and other players and we are still in the bowels of the CFL fighting with all our might for last place. I hope the Asper group takes a good look at the upper organization before they decide to retain any of the management. I think retirement from the Bombers organization is a pleasant way to part company with Bauer. Something else I have noticed is a change in Kelly. TYK, I disagree with your comments about Kelly not be qualified to be head coach. I think that Kelly and the other coaches are quite qualified, but are being held back by the upper mgnt. I would like to see the coaches doing what they were hired to do, and to be left alone to do their jobs. I also disagree with your comments about the organziation standing behind Kelly and that he is a "hot head". I think Kelly has come here thinking he would be the head coach and I see that he has passion about his job, the players, and the fans. I don't think he was prepared to be a puppet for the upper organization, and I think that is what Kelly and some of the players have been dealing with. About the organization trying to de-value the team and p!ss off the ticket holders, well I believe that is their intent and ticket holders will only put up with so much crap before they loose interest. This is not a new concept and unfortunately this kind of crap makes people loose interest in the CFL. I hope it does not happen, but one never knows for sure. I think that the Asper group needs to be given a chance when the reigns of the Bomber organization are turned over.......just like the chance Kelly and the players need, to be able to do the jobs they were hired to do. TYK its too bad your buddy DTC has been sent to banned camp

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet Posted: 9/16/2009 5:15:36 PM
Surprising someone you care about with a little gift, is nice for both people. I have not sent or have given flowers to a man. I prefer to buy something that I know he can use and enjoy. I have found that the men in my circle, do not garden or decorate their homes with flowers, so something else they are interested in becomes a more welcome gift. If the man is an avid reader, I will purchase a book for him; if he is into participation sports, a gift certificate for a massage or reflexology have been greatly appreciated. Me, well I find a charming man hard to resist, so flowers usually work for me as I am a woman who enjoys romance...................

CFL Football 2009 Posted: 9/14/2009 6:15:55 PM
THE BOMBER GAME STUNK...........BIG TIME.............. I don't blame Kelly or the players totally. Nor, am I ready to send Kelly, Bishop and a handfull of others packing. I still think that there is more going on than just weak players - I think the environment the Bombers are playing in is causing a lot of the problems and that may be what is behind the team not stepping up to perform. This could definitely be a symptom that qualifies the happy cow theory. I have 2 different thoughts on this topic. The first thought is what I have been saying for years that the problems were from higher up the food chain and it was not fair to put the total blame on the coach/s and players. It was not a big surprise to hear about the player dissatisfaction from being moved around from the positions they originally signed on to play. Just think if anyone out in forum land was hired to do one job and instead of doing what they were good at, or what they trained to do - was shoved into another position/job that they were not comfortable with, or liked - that would breed anamosity - so I can see players being disgruntled and asking to be traded as was mentioned by the TV commentators about one of the players had asked for. Nor, do I blame them. Keeping the record straight, I still don't like Lyle Bauer...........so I'll be happy to see the new management under the Asper Group. I really hope the Asper Group gets the right people on the staffing bus. The other thought I have been wrestling with is, that the current Bomber organization is trying to wreck any chance of having a good team, so that the team they turn over to the Asper Group is worthless and they will have to start building from the groud up. They might be trying to p!ss the fans off to the point that they don't renew their season tickets. This sour grapes mentality seems to be what happened when Wpg Enterprises turned the Moose over to Chipman's group. JMHO

I need mature advice on restarting a relationship. Posted: 9/11/2009 11:25:52 PM
OP - I don't think you are looking for advice "per se". After reading the postings in this thread, I think you are looking for affirmation of your desire to be with this man. Your mind appears to be made up about getting back with him, so when comments are made that don't support your desire, you defend him and your position. I know that honesty is #1 on my list of dealbreakers, so when he asked for you to be exclusive, asked that you you remove your profile, and then you found him on other sites, to me stinks of dishonesty. I would not be getting back with this guy, as you are only setting yourself to be hurt by this man, one more time. You will do as you like, regardless of what anyone posts, as I don't see you listening or thinking about what others say, only looking for confirmation to get back with him.

Struggling with a conversation about children / abortion... Posted: 9/9/2009 2:54:19 PM
OP - if your boyfriend is so adament about not spawning any children - then he should get a vasectomy. This surgery can be reversed if he ever decides to father any children, and is not major surgery compared to a woman getting her tubes tied. This way he would not have to worry about any "seeds" in his juice. Without knowing this man, its hard for anyone to know if he would "bail" or not if you became pregnant. I am thinking that you are having feelings about him, otherwise you would not be struggling with your feelings. I think in your heart you know he would bail. Don't look for people to tell you to ignore your feelings - embrace them. This conversation has effected your relationship, as you appear to need more from a man than this one is prepared to give you. Not that I am implying you should run out and get pregnant to trap him, but he certainly cannot blame you, and respect your thoughts, in the event you happen to get pregnant.

Struggling with a conversation about children / abortion... Posted: 9/9/2009 1:15:32 PM
OP - life is what gets in the way of your plans. When I was married we had this same discussion and faced the same dilema. In fact we also had a pregnancy scare. Our plans was to give ourselves 4 of 5 years of being together, going on trips, modifying our house, etc. prior to having kids. As it turned out about a year and a half after the wedding ceremony, we had the pregnancy scare. I did 3 months of worrying and being tested for being pregnant when my Dr. became concerned and ordered an internal ultrasound. Two days before the ultrasound the signs of not being pregnant appeared, and I phoned my Dr. with the news. It was decided that I have the ultrasound anyway, just to be sure and then have a Dr's appt. to go over the test results. The results showed nothing abnormal and I was not pregnant. However what happened next, was kind of weird. We talked a great deal about "what if" I was pregnant and what would we do, as up to that point, having it was not in the plan. When I came home from the Dr's appt. I said that I was definitely not pregnant. Then we both looked at each other and said that we were glad, but kind of sad at the same time, as kids were in the plan, only not right then. Well we decided in the next 2 months that we both wanted to move the plan up for having kids, as at that time, the trips, going out, etc. didn't seem that important. So, I know from experience that we do make plans, although life sometimes throws us a curve ball, and this is one curve ball that I have never regretted. The marriage may not have lasted, but the experience of having children, was something I have never regretted. Good luck to you both.

Should men pay half of the expense of women's birth control? Posted: 9/7/2009 12:51:07 PM
Whatsallthis - nothing wrong with being 50+ with a working baby factory. I have never been psycho with PMS, as some women get (or use as an excuse). I have and still do work hard understanding how to have my body chemistry in balance. Your tongue in cheek humor, might be taken wrong, and you sir seem quite high maintenance................

Should men pay half of the expense of women's birth control? Posted: 9/7/2009 10:45:29 AM
I have never thought about birth control being a shared cost. In my mind, me not getting pregnant was reason enough to be in control of the method of birth control I wanted and to pay to protect myself. I feel birth control its no different than the costs associated with me taking vitamin suppliments to be healthy - by body, my health. I'm big into communicating, so the discussions about intimacy usually surfaces long before intimacy happens. If I guy does not ask me about pregnancy protection, I see that as a red flag. I the guy says he only rides bare back, I usually tell the Cowboy to check out another rodeo, cause with me its "no glove - no love". If the guy is smart enough to use a condom, I let him know that I'm looking after the pregnancy protection and he can look after the condoms. This way he can buy the correct size and have a choice in what type he wears. STD's and unwanted pregnancies are too important to ingore.

Has anyone else passed a weird test from a potential suitor? Posted: 9/7/2009 10:22:02 AM
Marc - the testing I was referring to was to verify what a person says and if their story is consistant. It is not playing games, its called being cautious, because the people we meet online are strangers and we have no other way to verify who/what they really are or want. Regarding the wannabe magicians who have perfected their "vanishing act" I don't pay it a moment of attention as they appear to have problems and its better they vanish than me wasting time with them. I agree that communication is important, however there are many people here who do not effectively communicate and I loose interest in these people very fast. However, to give someone a chance, I will try and get the conversation going to find out more about them, but at times I think a root canal is less painful............... I think its important to not take things personally, as soon as you notice they are flakey its time to bid them farewell.

OP - I think testing is part of the dance you do, when you meet and get to know a new person. Its all part of how I evaluate someone to know if we have things in common or if the man demonstrates the qualities in a man that I am looking for. The testing should continue until you really know the other person. I think we all do some form of testing, but for someone to actually say "you passed my test", well as you mentioned, that is just flakey...............and we are not talking about pie crusts, either. If I'm talking to someone and they drop off the radar and then resurface and try to start things up again - I usually just decline their offer. I want to be with someone who realizes I'm not a bench warmer or someone to "fall back on" till something better comes along. Personally, I would have kicked that guys sorry a$$ to the curb, after he did his vanishing act and re-appeared.

OMG what a poor showing the Bombers made today against Saskatchewan. It would not have been worth the drive to see them play so badly. I'm impressed with Coach Kelly's interview with the media and his honesty about his concern about the timing problems the Bombers were having. He was right on the money when he referenced the comments being made by people saying that he was bald and should be fired. He was right by saying, ya, so what? The coach can instruct, teach, lead and challenge the players, but when the rubber hits the road, its up to the players to get their sh!t together and make the plays. What happened to the O line? Rarely had possession of the ball, and that made it more difficult for the D line. I don't believe there is any one player that can be held responsible, the entire team was struggling. I liked the white board choices from the sidelines for Bishop. I don't think less of Bishop for needing this kind of assistance. I appreciate that an effort was being made to help him succeed in his position, and I saw more confidence in Bishop as a result. That is a positive and I commend Kelly for using it. Coaches must do what is necessary to get the desired results from the players. By giving Bishop a choice of plays, they were guiding him and not de-moralizing him by making the calls from the sidelines. I am glad that Kelly said they were not as creative as they should be, and that showed from the number of plays Saskatchewan read and acted upon. As I have mentioned earlier, I would like to see more creativity in the plays and more versitality in the players being thrown to. There is a lot of talent in the team and its a waste to not utilize it through stragic creative plays. They definitely need to create more opportunities. When they failed on the TD attempt instead of kicking a field goal, I commend Kelly in his comments when asked by the media why didn't they attempt a field goal. He said we are the best in the league for our running game and that made perfect sense. However winning a game needs more creativity and with Bishop's arm, there should have been more passing, as the final score and stats speak for themselves. Once again, the Bombers did not start playing at the opening kick off and I suspect during that time off, they were more interested in getting on the golf course instead of preparing to win their next game. You could see the results in the Saskatchew player who stayed at home working on his game, instead of using the time for goofing off. Today the Bombers were a huge disappointment, I expect better in the next game.

does size matter? my un-scientific observations Posted: 9/6/2009 12:00:28 PM
OP - its not about the size - its about the fit................ Sorry I have a little tongue & cheek going on this morning. I think relationships are all about having the right qualities and feelings towards one another, and having intimacy that is mutually satisfying, adventurous and very hot. People are different and finding your match can be difficult. However, knowing what you want and not being afraid to go out and get it, makes the prize worthwhile. I am having a vision about this topic - could you imagine some woman pulling out card/board similar to the signs at amusement parks that show you have to be this tall to enjoy this ride? OMG that is funny!

Would you leave a relationship because you wanted marriage and your SO didn't? Posted: 9/6/2009 11:48:08 AM
I have experienced that a lot of single people in the dating world, who have no friggin idea what they are looking for, or what qualities they desire in a partner - they just don't want to be alone. When it comes to the type of relationship they are looking for, its the same and many have not thought that far in advance. We do ourselves a great dis-service by not knowing what we have to offer, what we are looking for in a potential mate, and the type of relationship we desire. I know what I am looking for, and with the right person, marriage is my goal. I would never live with a man, as I believe that if I'm good enough to live with, I'm good enough to marry. I was married twice, my first was less than 5 years with no children, and he was a cheater. That didn't work for me, so I left. Number 2 was over 20 years and with children. We grew apart and I decided that was not how I wanted to spend the rest of my life, so I left. I know what I have to offer the right man and what type of man I want to be with and in what type of relationship. I'm good being single, and would enjoy an enhanced life with the right man. However, this is me and my opinion. We all want different things from different people, so the line about needing to kiss a lot of toads/toadettes has meaning.

What's the reward for Chivalry? Posted: 9/6/2009 11:31:47 AM
OP - in Medievel times a fair damsel (nobility meaning) was considered a prize to be won by knights and noblemen. This is how the line of thinking about gettings something for a certain behavior came about. Not all women were ladies and not all men were gentlemen. During the Gone With The Wind era, it was the same with the affluent. This is not to say that anyone who was not noblity were not ladies/gentlemen. To me, chivalry is a word and it is intrepreted differently by many people, at times one can believe its a form of being played to get a desired outcome. What should be considered is the true characteristics of a man or woman regarding the respect they show for themselves, people they care about, and how they treat others in the world around them. I view this totally as a character traits and am looking for a men who is genuinely kind. I treat men with respect and will not allow other to treat me disrespectfuly. I appreciate kind gestures anyone shows to me, I always say Thank You and I try to be kind to those around me. I don't like people who can't look you striaght in the eye when they talk to you, grumble under their breath instead of saying please or thanks, and seem to just not consider others around them. Its more about finding your match and being with someone who makes you feel good when they are around you. I enjoy showing the man in my life my appreciation when he extends kindness to me. I think its all about meeting the right person halfway and not being afraid to let your personality shine through.

Child support... Posted: 9/6/2009 12:46:59 AM
I believe that your son's father is setting you up, in an effort to possibly get out of his responsibility. The reason he is asking what you think you will need is because I believe he is trying to low-ball the amount he would be required to pay. Do yourself and your child a favor - hire a lawyer, get the agreement in writing, and have your child's rights protected. The government has regulated schedules regarding the amount of child support to be paid, which is based on the parents income level. In addition, register the signed agreement with the Provincial Maintenance Enforcement Program. When you do this, the father will be required to make the payments to this program and they forward a government cheque to you. This process takes a few extra days for the money to be in your hands, but there is no need to worry if the cheque will be returned NSF. In addition, having to submit a payment to Maintenance Enforcement reduces/eliminates the opportunity for payments to be late or missed. If you do not have a legal document in place, if it is not registered with Maintenance Enforcement, and the dad decides not to pay, you will have a lot of problems and will have to hire a lawyer to prove that you have an agreement in place. If this happens, you will not get any child support until you prove that an agreement is in place, and then you will have to go through registering the proof with Maintenance Enforcement and that can take a month to be set up. In addition, if you are registered with Maintenance Enforcement, they will chase the father if he does not pay or is late in making payments. This government agency was established to protect women and children, us it and protect your child. We all want to believe that people will stand behind their word, however when circumstances change, people change and sometimes their word is not worth sh!t.

Kissing Birds and then your date? Posted: 9/5/2009 8:04:14 PM
Oh yuck! But then I'm not a bird person. I dated a guy once, who had an Old English Sheepdog that would not let us get close on the sofa at his place. Really nice guy, but the dog was worse than being sixteen and having your parents in the kitchen glaring at you. I really like most animals, but I agree with other posters that think some people are way 2 close to their pets. I don't mind dating a guy who has a pet, but if he regards it like a person/child instead of a pet, I can be safe to say that I wont be hanging around long.

do I have an intimacy issue Posted: 9/5/2009 7:53:47 PM
Seeking Understanding - hit the book stores and you will find the help you need or seek a sexual therapist. I have always believed that men will take advantage of women who let them when it comes to sex, but keep a sharp eye out on what a woman does. If you are looking for more than sex, don't settle or give in, till you find the qualities in a man you desire, and believe that you might get the relationship you desire with this man. Talk to him about it, and seek his thoughts. I believe that a man who really cares about you will respect your concern, but you must realize that intimacy is part of finding out how well the fit between you is. If he drops you in 3 - 5 dates, consider yourself lucky that you did not waste yourself on him, as he was not worth it. Intimacy for some is not a big deal, and that is ok because its what works for them. I believe that intimacy is a very special gift and not to be passed out like a plate of cookies when you are hosting a tea party. Good luck, remember to be true to yourself, and don't take rejection personally, cause there are a lot of fish in the sea.

Sex while talking? Posted: 9/5/2009 7:43:56 PM
What! Talking while being intimate..............are you people crazy or do you stink in the sack? OMG..............do you talk during the movie at a theatre too........... I don't think having a man I'm dating chat me up while being intimate, unless the conversation was about our activities, would allow him to be invited to eat crackers in my bed another time. I'm way too busy enjoying my man, and I hope he is the same, or, thinking about how great things are going and what we should/might try next. We can save the chit chat thing in the morning, or at breakfast, because by the time things are done, we both suffer from sexual exhaustion and fall asleep.

I believe the issue was best noted by other posters who mentioned people confusing chruch and state, or believing they are interchangeable. That is really the main issue and what sparks so much trouble between different religious groups. In this country we all have the freedom to practice any religion we choose and speak in different languages in our homes and within our groups and community. When it comes to dealings with government/state/legal issues, those rules take precident over individual cultural/race practices as the laws were created to be the same for all. We all know that the laws are continually challenged and some people fare better than others when dealing with government and the law, but we are dealing on basic premise here. The comment about Christian cops disobeying the commandment "thou shall not kill" is a prime example of trying to mix church and state. Police, the military, RCMP are required to protect those who live here, and in a perfect world these jobs would not be necessary.

I believe that this appointment stinks of the same cheese when our ex-mayor Susan Thompson was appointed to some newly created at the time position as some sort of Manitoba Ambassador (can't remember the exact title), to further the association between Manitoba and our surrounding US states. I don't remember anything happening other than Manitoba/Winnipeg providing her with severance.

What is wrong with Honesty???? Posted: 9/4/2009 6:18:28 PM
OP - just cause you wanna lead, does not mean that the women you date want to dance. I think its hilarious that so many men who want "no strings attached sex" or "intimate encounters" pursue women who are not looking for that. Then they and possibly you have the nerve to try and blame the women, by saying they want honesty and can't handle it, or some other jacka$$ comment. My dad always told me that if you don't want to be a sexual preditor - then you should stay clear of the Tom Cats. That line has worked well for me and I avoid those who are sexual preditors, as I desieve more from a man than to be another notch on his bedpost. When I decline offers from sexual preditors, I am often told my standards are too high, or I'm way too fussy, or I need to get real and take a good look at myself and the men around me. Then, I am forced to tell them that I'm sorry, but the men I choose to date, need to be able to reach the top of the curb from the street, in order to get my attention. I also advise them that being single is better than being in a bad or unfullfilling relationship and that I'm not here for their entertainment. After they get p!sseed, they go away..................................

Greyhound cancelling service Posted: 9/4/2009 4:00:51 PM
I think this is Greyhound's way to say to the Federal Government, "hey you helped out the airlines, auto industry................now its our turn." It would be interesting to know the actual numbers involved going to each major city and how many people get off/on between major cities. If the problem is the difference between the numbers of paid tickets for a departure not covering the cost of the trip, then price increases would be in order. I have not used bus service since the 70's, so I don't know if there are reduced rates for trips between the point of origin and final destination. If a bus is running 1/2 empty for more than 50% of the one way trip, I could see fare reductions being eliminated, or cost of fares being increased, as the total number of fares would not be profitable to the bus line. The airlines learned this lesson, and very seldom a person rides on a plane that is less than 50% full.

when is it racism ? Posted: 9/4/2009 3:44:06 PM
Seddie - my comment about the immigrants who came here from Europe, was in reference to the wide spread immigration to Canada and the United States after the first and second world wars. I do not know enough about the details land treaties between the British Crown and First Nations people, to relate this topic to that issue. Regarding the turban issue in the NWMP/RCMP - you may be right that there might not have been any men who wore turbans who may have been eligible to join - or the Military for that matter. However the main issue remains, a working uniform or a school uniform, was created to show that there is uniformity within the organization. Anyone who does not wear any/all of the uniform, is no longer providing uniformity to that organization. I don't think it can be explained any more simple than that. Turbans should not have been allowed based on those reasons.

Pegmale - the "mythical Canadianism" you ask about, are the customs/traditions/etc. of things done here in Canada that our government seems to think are quite ok to change to appease other cultures/religions, while traditions/customs/etc. would not be changed for Canadians in other countries. My point is about drawing a line in the sand, and not loosing our Canadian customs/traditions/ect. The reason turbans being allowed into the RCMP as a modified uniform, really does bother me, and I will explain. The RCMP have a very nice uniform that comes with a hat. This uniform reflects the history and tradition of our Mounties, and I'm sorry if people have a problem with it, but in the early development of the RCMP the uniforms were worn with pride and turbans were not anywhere in the development. It's funny that none of the aboriginal people who went through the program never had an issue with cutting their ponytails or changing any of the uniform, because these men and women were proud to be part of what the RCMP stands for, and wanted to bring a new perspective to policing that benefits all of us. I am all for, any/all ethnic groups/religions being allowed to work in any job as long as they can meet the criteria. I always thought being a firefighter would be great, however at 5'2" I could not see myself carrying a co-worker out of a burning building if they were injured, so I never pursued that career option. Could I have cried "sexism" as other did, you bet, and I could have been put through the special classes created to have women firefighters, but in the end, not many women who went through the special training, were able to fullfill the requirements. Now, others could and have called "racism" based on their size, demeanour and lack of understanding of the language. These people could be pushed through the program, but I would really be afraid of the firefighters who had to rely on someone in a burning building who could not do the job. I'm glad you send Seasons Greetings cards out, that is your right and priviledge and no one including me has the right to tell you to change your greeting. I also have this same priviledge when I send out Christmas cards and talk about my Christmas Tree. There is no way that anyone should have a problem with how I celebrate the holidays. In fact, it should be considered a compliment that a person is being thought about when people are celebrating a holiday. I have friends who celebrate Hannakuh, send me Hannakuha cards and decorate what they call their "Hannakuh Bush". My point for my post was that there are times when criticizim and so called racisim goes way over the top on issues that are really non-issues. I believe that toleration should work both ways, however too often I see reverse-discrimination and reverse-racism. Unfortunately, if you wish to participate in this and you believe this is what makes "your Canada" great and wonderful, then you have my sympathy as no one race/religious group should be above any other. You referenced my note about citizenship in the US. I know I could live there if that was my wish. What I was commenting on, was how people who immigrate to the US are expected to be Americans first, and I don't see a damn thing wrong with that, as these people were welcomed into the country to live a better lifestyle or to have opportunities afforded them, that they could not have, from where they came. Here in Canada, if you ask someone what they are...........many consider themselves Greek, Ukrainian, etc., when they should be damn proud to be a Canadian Citizen. It's the fault of our absolutely no backbone government that allows this to happen. Our country is having a lot of problems with some new Canadians, who came here and continued started gangs causing problems for everyone else. Too bad our dumb a$$ government does not de-port criminals that come from other countries. Our jails are full with the criminals who were born here, we don't need an increase in that portion of the population. Peek-A-Boo00, thanks for the kind words. For a moment there I thought some people had trouble understanding what I had written, but then I noticed from what empty barrel all the noise was coming from. Have a great Long Weekend everyone.

How many women suck their own nipples? Posted: 9/3/2009 4:31:08 PM
daydreaming honey - your comment "Why would a woman do it?" Well, as I sat here reading your post and others, this funny thought popped into my head. Picutre this.............a dog sitting on the floor in front of a guy while it licks its own balls..........and thinking to itself......"Go ahead buddy, you just sit there starring at me while you wish you could do this?"

Going To Tell My Girlfriend It Is Over Posted: 9/3/2009 3:11:23 PM
OP...............you should be having this conversation with your soon to be ex-girlfriend, not here in the forums. I don't think anyone here can do anything to assist you, as in explaining your situation, you seem to have answered your own questions. If you loved her enough.........as you put it, this would not be an issue, between the both of you a solution would have been worked out. IMHO - I think you should let this lady go, as she has already wasted a year of her life on you, and you don't know if you love her enough.................Ya Right!

New Olympic Hockey Jerseys 2010 Posted: 9/1/2009 6:04:44 PM
I saw these jerseys advertised in a flyer being sold at $139.00 each. It will be interesting to see just how popular they are, but the number of people wearing them during the games for support. I'm thinking you will be seeing a lot of the older style jerseys being worn. I don't seem to think that large families (3 or 4 kids) to be running out to purchase these new designed jerseys.
