Controlling ex or 3 problems in 1
Posted: 5/18/2013 3:15:35 PM
OP: I am at a total loss as to how to respond........total L O S S.

I wish you luck..............I really do.

MOSTLY, I hope you find someone to talk things through with............meaning: QUALIFIED THERAPIST. I'm NOT being mean when I suggest this.............

There is nothing wrong with that!

Good luck to you and your future!

Controlling ex or 3 problems in 1
Posted: 5/18/2013 1:15:00 PM
Why am I confused? You say you're shy yet wrote a staff member a letter about your infatuation.......which included an apology for always staring at him?

You're writing about two different men in the same post..........an ex that you ALWAYS fight with and you say controls you........did he make you write the letter to Mr. Staff?

I'm just CONFUSED!! What........exactly............do you want "advice" about?

I'm with Helen......a therapist may be the best place to get it.

(P.S. Your English is just fine!)

Ummmmmmm........I'm trying to understand what the hell you're saying.

You are FWB with your ex.....who still "controls" you....you fight ALL the time because he thinks you lie.

You have an obsession with a member of staff at your college.....wrote him a note 2 1/2 months ago.....and you're confused by his behaviour?

Even if I hit on the fine points.....I'm still confused.

Himalayan Natural Salt Cooking/Serving Block
Posted: 5/3/2013 11:40:37 AM
Good question, OP. I hope someone who's used one responds......I've wondered the same thing. I've only used a Himalayan Natural Salt candle holder.....wasn't very pleased with the results! It looked neat but it left residue on the counter that was hard to get off.

I've heard the salt blocks are good for using with fish??!!! Anyone out there know??????

Friendship question which may shed light on my love life
Posted: 5/1/2013 6:13:19 PM
^^^What a stupid thing to say! You could say that to any and all that post a topic in the forums so why you would even take the time to post that is beyond me.....

OP, I am so much older than you but reading your post hit a NERVE! :) I very much understand what you're saying. I tried to PM you but I can't even read your profile because of your restrictions.

I think seeing a therapist might be quite helpful. You sound very self-aware......having a third party (not a friend or relative) to discuss things with might help you get to the bottom of why you feel as you do.

Good luck!!

Stuffed Jalapenos
Posted: 4/20/2013 8:40:42 PM
Love FRESH jalapenos!! LOVE THEM!! Just bought a "contraption" that you stick the peppers in after you've cut the tops off and stuffed (with whatever you want). Put this "contraption" on a grill......it holds the jalapenos upright. I stuffed mine with shredded cheese (it was my first time and just wanted to figure out what I was doing before I get more creative....)................DELICIOUS!!

For those that are baking........what temp?????

Not sure about bad karma.
Posted: 4/18/2013 9:41:17 PM
Awwwwwwww........OP, I always enjoy reading your comments in the forums. When I saw that you'd started a thread, I was very curious to read!

I enjoy your comments because you sound like one of the (very) few sane people around here and your thread only speaks more to that humanity. You sound like you're over the initial "gloat" (perhaps not the best word choice) and are now seriously having empathy for the "train wreck" to come.

You sound like the kind of person I would like to have as a friend and the type of person this world needs more of........someone HUMAN that may have an INITIAL reaction of (somewhat) ill will but it doesn't last long because it isn't that you TRULY wish ill will........it's cause you're human and you got hurt so you need a human minute to FEEL it.

Take yourself out to the spa! CELEBRATE yourself! You deserve it!!

I'm with msg's 67 and 68.....and a few previous. I also don't quite "get it"?????

I decided not to go to a bar last night and pick up a total stranger. Can I please get some positive feedback?

OP: I'm not sure I understand your point. Others have asked as well and you're not responding. Can you please explain what exactly you mean? I'm not trying to be advesarial (not even sure I spelled that right)....just wanting clarification!

Avoid the phone?
Posted: 3/14/2013 11:15:10 AM
My ex-husband is from England. I'm from the U.S. When we first met and started dating.....a LOT of time was spent with me asking him to repeat himself. I couldn't understand his accent!!! :)

We obviously worked out THAT aspect of our relationship........we got married!!! Sadly, we didn't work out other aspects and are now divorced (have been for many years).

I say not to worry so much.....if there is a connection? There is a connection!!! Good luck to you!!

Rant from a Transman: Will l Ever Find a Girl?
Posted: 3/12/2013 3:16:40 PM
First off.....don't EVER lie about your "past". That would be so insanely unfair to not only you but ESPECIALLY to whomever you're "talking" to.

The way your OP is worded sounds like you don't tell them until you're well in to seeing them? Otherwise, how could you say you've been turned down "many times by girls after they learn I don't possess typical male anatomy."............

WTF?

Edit: Just read your profile. You're a Psych major? Are you KIDDING????

my boyfriend takes fetish to a whole new level. please help
Posted: 2/24/2013 8:52:54 AM
This is one of the strangest posts I've ever read in the forums.

I understand there is a huge big world out there that I'm not aware of but this is just bizarre. I'm far more curious to know WHY or HOW someone develops this "fetish" than how they act on it. I mean......how does it begin? When does one notice they may have an "odd" attraction to feet......or shoes?

How does a person end up thinking they need to buy loads of shoes......only to throw them in to a tree?

I am SO confused!!!

My cat
Posted: 2/23/2013 4:34:20 PM
I'm sorry. I went through that with my cat that I'd had for seventeen years......it was such a sad time!! Animals really ARE family and it hurts to miss them. Each one is so different and none can be "replaced" but would it be too soon for you get another cat? It can help to have something to focus on (and make you laugh!!) besides the sadness.

Good luck to you!!

What do you wish for your ex?
Posted: 2/7/2013 7:18:05 PM
My feelings and wishes for my "ex" so totally depends on which "ex" we're talking about!! :)

In no particular order:

1) Wish him the absolute SERIOUS happiness that we all deserve. He was (am assuming he still IS) an amazing man.

2) Hope you have a shitty life

3) Hope you have a REALLY shitty life

whats with a threesome??
Posted: 2/7/2013 5:52:29 PM
Gross. No way.....no how.

It has nothing to do with me having a "closed" mind...."not open to the ways of the natural world"....or any other CRAP like that that has been said on here.

I DO have an open mind! I'm all about "the natural world".....(SAVE THE DOLPHINS comes to mind)!!! But that doesn't mean I'm up to sharing my sex life with TWO people at once.....no matter the gender makeup.

Those that are in to it? GO FOR IT! You obviously have......and good for you! But DON'T presume that those of us that are NOT in to it to be closed minded and "missing out".......me no thinky so!

Okay.....all this food talk is making me hungry!!! I guess I should expect that since I'm here in the "Recipes and Cooking" forum!! :)

Procol.....NOW I want a reuben!!! I get mine with no meat and extra cheese/kraut to make up for still paying the same price (obviously, from a restaurant). I've been asked MORE than once....."Aren't you ordering a cheese sandwich with kraut?" :)

Yes! YES, I AM!!! Bring it on!!! DELICIOUS!!

was he using her or did he want a relationship?
Posted: 2/5/2013 9:38:39 AM
Say WHAAAAA? Posts like this make me NUTS! What is wrong with that girl? What could POSSIBLY be the attraction to such a weak minded, spineless, mole of a "man"?

He (supposedly) will leave the non-girlfriend in order to move in with your friend......but that's the only way he can leave? Why? He (supposedly) had the apartment (on his own) before the non-girlfriend/girlfriend moved in. So, why, if he's willing to (supposedly) leave her, would he "need" to move in with your friend?

He sounds like a real peach.

Wow......I (supposedly) need a drink after reading the OP.

I'm glad to see I made a wise choice......not implying that any of those that have responded should be banned.......you've been so "nice" compared to what I'd have written and I KNOW I'd have been banned!!! ;)

OP has already deleted his pics!!! Why? Mr. Adorable??? Where did you go? You sound so.....so......ummmmm, interesting!?

I lived in a basement (though ground level.....?) apartment and came home from the store one day to see firemen coming out of my apartment. WHAT? At first, I was hoping some school friends were "pranking" me as I was single and they were always joking about fixing me up with "hot" men.

Nope. It wasn't a joke........turned out to not be a joke at ALL. My apartment was on the lower floor of an old house that was occupied by a law firm. Thank GOODNESS this happened on a week day or it would have ended BADLY......had it been a weekend and the offices vacant.

They heard my fire alarm going off and called the Fire Department. Seems that while leaning across my stove, I'd accidently turned one of the knobs on (they were on the FRONT of the stove.....NOT the back.....BAD design feature) and the plastic cutting board I'd placed on there had melted, caught fire which led to the above (installed) microwave catching.....FIRE!!!!

Geez.......that was a MESS and SUCH a CLOSE call. :(

I'm noticing a pattern here in my posts..........it's making me kind of nervous. :)

^^^^^^I second that (msg. 7) and will add that it doesn't work well to do that with oven mitts either!!!

These are funny posts, OP! I was once going to make two chicken pot pies from absolute scratch.....pie crust and all. Actually, ONE of them was going to be made with fake chicken as I'm vegetarian but anyway......I couldn't figure out why my pie crust looked so horrible. This was my grand attempt at being "Martha"!!!

Took a while but I finally realized that when doubling the crust recipe, I'd only doubled SOME of the ingredients.

So, the cautionary tale here is: Don't try to be Martha while drinking wine with a friend and talking too much instead of paying attention to what you're doing.

We sent out for pizza..............

Drunk Dialling/Texting..
Posted: 1/15/2013 4:55:38 PM
Oh gosh....and I'm NOT proud of this.......I spent Christmas alone (fairly new here and away from my family)......which was fine (so I told myself)..... I ended up drinking way more wine than my liver appreciated. At the time, of course, I thought I was having a marvelous time and "making the best of it"!!!!!

To this day, Jan. 15, I have a vague memory of one of my neighbors calling me to come visit and me saying that I would. She even mentioned that she had my serving dish (that I'd taken down a few days before for a "get together") that was washed and ready to be returned.

I never went to see her as I'm not sure she really called or if I dreamt it. :(

THAT'S BAD! I'm dreading the next time I see her...........

I'm too old for this s h i t :)

Actually, I'm not sure I'm answering the OP.....but it's alcohol related....nuff said.

If POF allows one to select not looking for date, why some people can't accept that in here?
Posted: 1/15/2013 4:32:54 PM
Well Hilly.....I predict the responses will be quite varied. I'm in the same boat you are....although I'm single.

I'm just not ready to put myself out there to date so I'm here for the forums.........though wouldn't mind one bit to "make friends".

Many on here say that's crazy and that they have plenty of "friends"....this is a DATING site.....and blah, blah, blah.

I HAVE friends........the great majority of which live MILES and MILES away! One of my dearest friends (from high school......we are now 50) just left today after visiting for a week!!

I'm not completely clear on what you're looking for but if it's seriously to meet people to "chat" with (which MOST on here are NOT looking for) then......I get it! We are a minority!!!!

Gotta say though....if you're looking for men to chat with to "test the water" in case you wish to leave your current relationship......well, that's another story. I mean no offense.

I've never been so devastated...
Posted: 1/9/2013 11:13:43 AM
OP: "Wonderful, beautiful, kind, perfect for me......................" BLAH, BLAH, BLAH!! So.....you fell for her hook line and sinker. Not a smart move when you've never met. I find it quite interesting and....quite frankly, hilarious.....that you had all these "feelings" for someone you'd never met and THEN found out it was someone you had previously rejected.

I ABSOLUTELY understand that physical attraction is important.......but doesn't this scenario show another side of that? That MAYBE our "wonderful, beautiful, kind, perfect for me" kind of person may come wrapped in a different kind of package?

You want to take LEGAL action? Wow.......you're a serious piece of WORK!!! Her deception was wrong (though hilarious and I think she proved her point QUITE well). What legal ground do you think you could possibly stand on? That she wasn't as "pretty" as you'd been led to believe?

You sound EXTREMELY intelligent and I'm sure you'll figure all this out.........(where is the sarcasm font?)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Walking in on a date in the bathroom?
Posted: 1/7/2013 6:15:40 AM
^^^^^^^^Okay, THAT made me laugh!!!

I would not like it one bit if someone came in to the bathroom when I'm in there but that also depends on comfort level. My ex-husband used to walk in all the time and sometimes I would just exaggerate what I was doing to get him to leave!! :) It usually worked.........

If it were a "new" relationship? Oh, heck no.....let me pluck my chin hairs in PRIVATE! :)

Can you die from a broken heart?
Posted: 12/31/2012 2:03:59 PM
I think it's possible.

I'm not sure it's possible for a "one time" heartache to take a person to their grave but I DO think that multiple "heart pain" adds up.

The way we "deal" with our heartache adds up.....you can't keep hurt inside for too long before POPPING!

SO many different "things" happen in life.....I think it is SO important to have SOMEONE to talk to and I don't believe it's always possible! Not for everyone.

I DO think it's one of the MOST important things in life......to have someone to talk to.

Happy 2013!!

Should I ask him to marry me.
Posted: 12/28/2012 5:20:35 AM
Huh? Is this for real? OP!!! You can NOT be serious...........!!? I think you had too much eggnog at the Christmas party and its led to (at least a partial) lobotomy. Why on EARTH would you want to MARRY a man that doesn't want sex, love, or a relationship with you?

I've been on my own for a long time and while it gets lonely.......there is NO way I'd put up with someone that treated me as you describe. Marry him? HELL no! Kick his ass to the curb? Yes! I guess that would depend on how big he is though.....as to whether that would be effective.

Are you going to repond to some of the questions you've been asked? Like......are you serious???

Invited to Holiday Dinner???
Posted: 12/26/2012 10:36:06 AM
Dayum! As usual, I am just shaking my head, OP. Not sure what the problem is (though I have a few theories) but you seem to have repeated ill luck at......well, seemingly everything.

At least it was just dog puke.......I took my two dogs to our BRAND SPANKIN' NEW HOUSE (closed on Monday and with a little extra work to go, we won't move until the end of January). They are both VERY housebroken......as in, they have NEVER had an "accident" in YEARS! They are VERY housebroken.

As I was taking pics of an unopened gift box a friend had sent for Christmas....to prove to her I hadn't opened it before the day...as she made me promise not to do.......at the EXACT same time, one of my dogs christened the new kitchen by unloading a couple of turds................WTH?

I was shocked!! And.......really????? Pooping in a BRAND new HOUSE?

OP: I'm a little confused. On the one hand you say this is a person you've run around with in a group but then say it's a new "friendship". Ummmmm....good luck to you. Hoping 2013 is better!

How should I play this?
Posted: 12/25/2012 2:33:13 AM
OP: Are you KIDDING? Of COURSE you are hoping for SOMEthing!! Take a big look at the title of your thread!!! She's a cute "hot" (to you) girl and you've asked her out! You're now being "innocent" in your intentions but............look at the title of your thread. (good damn GRIEF!)

I'm not saying wanting to date her is unreasonable but at least be honest!! And.......in my opinion, she's being as honest with you as she knows how to be.......wanting an "out" if things don't go well........she may also be quite used to "older" boys hitting on her? She's sick of it? And, apparently, hasn't learned her lesson. She's trusting you to be different......which, apparently in this case, is stupid.

No matter what........you need to grab your head and give it a shake.

Spending Christmas Alone
Posted: 12/24/2012 9:55:03 PM
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

I'm "alone" this year but that is by choice. I even bought a ticket to fly "home" but decided it was too much hassle. I'm going to take my dogs over to our new house (just closed on Monday.......haven't actually moved yet) for them to see it for the first time.......give them some turkey and I'll drink wine......lots of it! :)

I have moments of wishing I was with my family but I also know it was my decision not to be.....so.....gotta just "deal" with it! I doubt I'll choose this way again next year but for now? HO! HO! HO!

I think the real problem with this time of year is that we see other people supposedly having a MUCH better time and think there is something wrong with us because we aren't. That's a load of rubbish!!! I'm sure there ARE people out there having more fun than I am but I also know there are many who aren't......even right in the midst of "family" and "friends".

Give me my dogs, some wine.......I'm fine!!

^^^^^Well, the person you appear to be directing that to is a man and though his restrictions prevent me from reading his profile, I'm going to guess he's not here to meet a man.

I could be wrong?!!!! Send him a PM!! Santa just MIGHT deliver you a serious treat!! :)

I also have to wonder why you've pulled up a five month old thread? Babies have been born, they're probably teething now......do you still want to meet HIM?

I absolutely love baby koalas.....ADORABLE!! However, I don't think they should get behind the wheel.......though that may explain some of the people on the road. They're REALLY baby koalas.

OP: I'm not completely sure what you're asking.......I guess mostly I'm wondering why you would care to be with a person such as this?

I'm sorry you got hurt but she sounds like a skank. Whatever the "gadget" is that you two agreed to get.....to track each other.....sounds very bizarre indeed.

WTF is your problem with all of this? It seems you never deleted your profile (from Oct) even though you had a girlfriend.....that you broke up with three weeks ago.....that is on here again.....as are you........and you're bothered she is.....and.......UMMMMMM........and?

Do people over sixty still think they can have a new life???

Msg. 97: I want to be a poople!!! Maybe they have a better dating pool? Would that be a "poople pool"....which, granted, doesn't sound like something attractive to swim in, lol, but I might be willing to give it a try.

(Looking for my water wings..............)

I don't think age matters as much as the people involved. It bugs me to the moon when people generalize.

How to end a date at your apartment?
Posted: 10/12/2012 10:09:25 AM
You sound absolutely ADORABLE and I hope this lady realizes how sweet you are...........HOWEVER!! While being so concerned about all that you are just MIGHT make you more uptight than is warrented.......RELAX!!

There is NO "Perfect Guide To Dating" and you should NOT spend so much time worrying......just the fact that these scenarios have even entered your mind means you're a very thoughtful young man.

What if she actually LIKES coffee breath? :) Good luck to you!!! I really mean that!

What's for dinner?

A School Girl Crush at 60?
Posted: 10/11/2012 2:34:31 PM
OP: I'm so sorry to hear the outcome. No doubt this experience has been very disappointing but hugs to you for knowing your decision was the right one to make......for you. It's too easy to want something so badly that you overlook things and end up MUCH later with regret for not paying attention sooner.

The REALLY neat part of all this? You learned that you actually CAN still get the butterflies!!!

Sometimes I wonder if a pest control company hasn't moved in to my head........ :)

(not that I think butterflies are pests...........)

Emphisis on Profession...Too Much

I might be "smart enough" to no longer have to work a full-time job........(depends on how you look at it) but apparently not "smart enough" to turn off my ice cube maker.

My freezer is overflowing with ice cubes!!! DARN IT!!! :)

anyone ever considered traveling the country as a homeless person?
Posted: 10/10/2012 7:25:10 AM
A backpack and a Eurail pass is more to my liking.......though I'd probably be too nervous now to do it.

I'd love to live in one of those Winnebago things (hardly homeless) and travel all over the U.S. sussing out new places and people........but the world would not be safe with me driving that thing.........sigh! :)

Gift Advice Needed
Posted: 10/9/2012 11:14:44 AM
I think it's beyond sweet that you would even consider paying for a friend to accompany her to a "spa day"......BUT!!! I can assure you, at least in my world, a day at the spa can be even BETTER without others along!! :) Sure! It's FUN with a good friend or group of friends..........but a spa day is a day to turn to jelly and just reflect on the sweet person that gave you that gift.

Wouldn't that be better?

(Not to mention the saving of some greenies?)

Break-Up
Posted: 10/9/2012 11:05:48 AM
I agree with Import......though, based on other posts I've read in these forums, I would get my stuff out of her apartment FIRST........unless it's stuff you don't really care about.

You've made up your mind and for YOUR sake, you need to deal with this NOW. You're not dragging it out for HER sake.......you're dragging it out for YOURS and that is a heavy weight to bear.

The weight of not being true to yourself.

Moraima, msg. 3: I'm sure you didn't mean your post to sound the way it did........I just turned 50 and am a part-time cashier (that also bags groceries when needed) and I LOVE it! I've (sort of) retired early and am doing something that I've CHOSEN to do.......all this after serving in the military, working for non-profits, and running a retail business.

Hope that doesn't bore you to tears........though we aren't dating so maybe it doesn't matter.
