I never drink OJ - dietician told me it elevates my blood sugar level and I don't want that.
True, cuz when you eat a whole ,unpeeled orange, you first peel orange it,when it is slowly is absorbed in your system as where drink any pure juice ,it shocks your system & over works to caught up with blood sugar rises, four fold instead of one.
Well all drank juice at one time cuz it was easy,but we all imo,should eat fruit like mother nature & our body can accept it, slowly.....

What women really look at on your profile...
Posted: 10/18/2012 3:48:10 PM
Women are tired of the "genuine" guy lines and are wary and skeptical. You take it all way too seriously and it is only a game at the end of the day.
Well, if you are not out of it,then yes ,you not at a loss out there in the emotional who values to the pursuer!
The odds here are not 50% 50% in dating just so you know on the net, with that said do you pursue what is there left or what might be? You do the math.
We are all hard wired in what we need & want in core values, & what we don't want from the social butterfly's, or emotionally unavailable what ever less, the net exposes on the table here........ because, or if your heart is done,& not into it any more. What do you want?
Fare enough!
imo if your not first happy with yourself, another won't get you pass the hump to me.....but fear not the fora is always here till then..........cheers

ARE YOU COMPLETE OR FINISHED?
Posted: 10/18/2012 1:38:46 PM
AS LOVER OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, I'M SURE YOU'LL ENJOY THIS!!!!
Finished and Complete: No English dictionary has been able to explain adequately the difference between the two words.
In a recently held linguistic competition held in London , England attended by the best in the world, Samsundar Balgobin, a Guyanese man from Bachelors Adventure, was the clear winner with a standing ovation lasting over 5 minutes.
Here is his answer which made him receive an invitation to dine with the Queen who decided to call him after the contest. He won a trip to travel the world in style and a case of 25 year old Eldorado rum for his answer.
His final question was this.... How to explain the difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED in a way that is easy to understand. Some people say there is no difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED .
Here is his astute answer ....
When you marry the right woman, you are COMPLETE. And when you marry the wrong woman, you are FINISHED.
And when the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are COMPLETELY FINISHED!

What to do with green tomatoes?
Posted: 10/17/2012 5:02:22 PM
Message:
can you not put them on a sunny window sill and have them turn red?
Yes, and no..........the no being in the taste! If the tomato does not have a slight shade of red or pink in it, the taste will not be as good there. So once you do have at least a pinch of red in the tomato,your guarantee the taste will be too!
That is why the tomatoes you buy in the store never really taste that good cuz they were picked & shipped green & gassed to turn red by the time it reaches the store, but unfortunately, the taste was left hanging on the vine. Mother nature still rules! lol
The best ripe,red & pink tomatoes other then in your garden or neighbors, imo are at the farmers market. Hands down!
My fav is the brandywine........................heirloom......yum..............yum............

What women really look at on your profile...
Posted: 10/15/2012 4:44:13 PM
From my personal experience, when I send out emails I rarely receive a response, not even from the 'nice guys'. I can tell you with certainty if my profile was changed to "Casual dating/no commitment" and was looking to hook-up i'd have no problems, as even with my conservative pics I still get offers...but that's not what i'm looking for.
You make a valid point....in both genders for that matter in is really here to meet.....& what is here & what is not here,but still here anyway.........
As if one has "cold feet" is harder to cure then the common cold..........sometimes to heal from the past is the best cure first! Before moving forward,if real dating is on your mind......jmo in my past dates here.

Help With My Car : (
Posted: 10/15/2012 3:36:57 PM
One thing that is extremely common (especially on high mileage cars) is that carbon will build up and cause the valve to stick.
yup.....try cleaning it and or see if it has a adjustment screw too to idle this bad boy down to get it back in line...
If this doesn't work then it's probably a malfunctioning IACV and you'll likely have to replace it (don't forget a new gasket!). I think this part ranges between $100-200.
Only if it you tried part one first.... And always before you take drastic act,remember lov,the kis principle in wants really wrong. and not just a loose wire................good luck

Height, body size, and longevity: is smaller better for the human body?
Posted: 10/13/2012 8:03:59 AM
Then also add that there is probably very little western medicine practiced, which would keep the birth rate at a natural level, thus meaning the ones that do survive are healthy and stronger to begin with, thus they have better stock, combined with the fact that their lifestyle has not changed for the most part since their existence.
Any there is probably very little Western fast foods places there yet. As a simple lifestyle of moderation goes hand in hand in longevity.
Baring war,famine,& natural disasters,Earth evolving has formed us in what direction & the survive as a human race so far. And conditioning & adapting us in dealing with all it's challenges to survive.
The last natural disaster 70,000 years ago, the ice age almost did us all in,as there was only, they say 2000 humans left on the planet who survived that one.
I mean the weak are being thinned from the herd, and there is a huge business that is devoted to cashing in on their fail, but that is another topic.
That & buying property in FL., the" Fountain of Youth!" lol
Now that said, it is not smaller is better, it is, there is a sweet spot and that sweet spot is not 6' it is closer to 5' 6".
And here I thought the turtle & crocodile lived the longest on earth............lol
And lets not for get those California Sequoia & Redwood trees!!!!! As they did not get the memo either on height & longevity!
Besides, it's not as though I can work to become shorter, in order to increase my life span.
Well thank goodness we are not giraffes! cheers

truth and lies
Posted: 10/11/2012 8:28:54 AM
You talking to that ex of yours again?
He's an ex for a reason--why are you giving him space in your head, and the power to hurt you?
And if that's the case,like for many that have recently split the sheets. Only time will heal the past.
Some longer then others in moving on & getting over it.
The fora is a good place to vent your frustrations, & hopefully in time those people who you believed & trusted in, will not ruffle your feathers any more then getting caught in rush hour traffic.
And yes,sometimes the truth hurts,but to enable someone to not think so,is far worse,imo.

Question to the Girls from Asia about blond Men
Posted: 10/9/2012 8:32:24 AM
I don't really understand why, but in general I see more Asian women dating outside their ethnicity than Asian men.
It's the same reason some will only date people with British accents or a Spanish bullfighter. The attraction or novelty goes hand in hand.
imo, it's fair to say,it's your preference in who & what to date here or anywhere. As there are many Asia- Americans on this site too.
Also, be prepared to learn the lady's language and culture.
True,if your in for the long haul.
And for those who gave their knee-jerk reaction in dating outside your race, lighten up......cheers

using an activity to get a date
Posted: 10/6/2012 3:48:34 PM
If you want someone who is interested in you, then stop. Find a lady who cares about you, and then spoil her (as, hopefully, she will spoil you
So well said dmzvistor!
Never put the cart ahead of the horse! No matter what kind of hardware[smoke & mirrors] she first brings to the table! That could confuse the senses! lol and not the real deal.
but don't spend the time, money, and energy with any expectation of it working--you are most likely to be disappointed. But if you are going to do the group event anyway, include whomever you wan.
imo if she's a real deal,go for it! As the folks who are honest get the most respect & appreciation in character!
Enjoy those who do!

What is it that attracts you to a woman?
Posted: 10/5/2012 4:46:06 PM
I get compliments but guys just never go beyond the friend zone with me. Or should I say I never go beyond the friend zone with guys.
Well,for the old folks who been in a few, long & failed relationships, it's obvious........... for it's not being shy now mind you,but pretty much feeling about losing their freedom & dreams again.
But still here on a dating site, like many too, at least they can show how they over come the past & now enjoy the now.
^^^^^^^^
And at 19 op, methink imo, or at any age in what I found out for that matter, people who are shy, are very selfish to begin with. And imo ,it is a dead end if a friendship is what you seek.
Not a good way to start a two way relationship when it's really only one. Or like a stamp without any glue...... good luck

A Question For Guys and Girls
Posted: 10/4/2012 4:59:48 PM
I'd find it more disturbing that you actually listened to his advice and posted different pictures. Be careful or you could be seen as an unusually easily manipulated puppet.
Yes, sounds like you both are mentally blanking each other, & that's not unusual here. lol
And when you hear both sides of the story, & what kind of of mental & emotionally health were dealing with here too.

Speaking of telomeres - who would have thought that adding (turmeric/curcumin) to your diet would be so beneficial.

The most loving thing
Posted: 9/27/2012 5:17:19 PM
What was the most loving thing he/she did for you?
I guess my first love at 17, was a good start..............or so I thought at such a young age..............yet 40 years later, she is still beautiful woman, like wine & roses,"Forever Young," as that brit sung years ago.
My second, which I married , was the next. It lasted 20 years & it was wonderful , & sharing,living, loving & have a family together. I was lucky enough to live my childhood again,raising with my boys as they grew,matured as young adults.,,,,,,,,,,,,,xoxoxoxoxo
My children are the best,& know they will succeed in life & strong work edict, & hopefully in love will serve them well too!
And my third & final love, is yet to be..........or maybe just living & loving what we all have,is love enough to me....

Fresh tomato sauce recipes
Posted: 9/25/2012 5:08:24 PM
But why are all of the leaves at the bottom of my plants shriveling up and turning brown?
Unless your tomatoes look bad too, the leaves below will not interfere with the taste or health.
Blight happens like air & soil borne stuff & imo rotate the garden every year, place paper down to keep the weeds a bay,& only water the base of all plants.
And long live the, 'Brandywine Heirloom Tomato' ! the very best taste....a Amish treasure for all of us to enjoy!!!

What is the diference between Healthy and Fitness people.
Posted: 9/25/2012 4:31:59 PM
Good fitness is 100% dependent on having the right genetics, and no amount of training will change that.
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Let me fix that for you AA (Wink)
This is absolutely untrue. In regards to this thread and fitness capacity -- Good fitness is NOT 100% dependent on having the right genes.
It's all about inherited predispositions, exposures, lifestyle and environmental gene tags which all come down to gene "expression"
This topic is in depth and gets confusing but certainly helpful when posting advice in this forum - Taking the time to study Exposome and Epigenetics would be helpful.
Mercy no name,you are way above the curve here! bravo!
I just read & maybe you did to in the article by Dean Ornish published 09/22/2012 in the NY Times on all the different diets & what it all boils down to. I found it quite interesting & eye opener to say the least.
Enjoyed reading about 'gene expression' & increased telomerase. imo, it was quite informative in these so called diets may help you lose weight but stress your body in in over all good health.
A very good article to check out before you start any diet or miracle cure into good,over all health. cheers

Water leak issue
Posted: 9/25/2012 8:30:34 AM
Had the water department come by and check my water lines and they said it was not leaking from the lines to my townhouse. They said it may be leaking from one of my neighbors and seeping into my basement from one of there lines. And the city said they would be by on Tuesday to check the neighbors lines as well.
Well you did the right thing in calling the Water Dept, if you use public water system & not a well. And since this is your first time with this problem as a home owner. Hopefully they[Water Dept] will track down your neighbors too & see & shut off the water to try & figure out which one is leaking or if it is just ground water coming in. Also, if your water pressure is low that might be a tell tale clue in a possible break & leaking pipe. And when trouble shooting, always use the KIS principle first!
And when its all said & done, you'll know next time where your shut-off valve is to the home.
And since winter is coming,the spot where the pipe comes in from the outside should always be ventilated, to never go under the freezing point of 32 d. If the water inlet pipe it behind the drywall first, put a vent cover there so heat can circulate in.
good luck & thanks for your service! SEMPER FI

Dating in a recession.
Posted: 9/24/2012 4:15:27 PM
.
I realize these goals are long term and was wondering if any women out there would be patient enough to grow with someone as opposed to establishing a relationship with someone who has more financial stability.
Listen, if you are a stand up guy, you need to stay the coarse in your career fist. And I do understand that,dating or even getting married & raising a family is important too in all,of the your quality of life however great or humble.
And anything that you have to work for...... is always better in the^ character ^ and in honesty of life.
After all, the best part of life is the journey and not the destination.
Enjoy your journey, never get too low in life,or never too high............

Splitting household items when breaking up
Posted: 9/21/2012 8:18:53 AM
It bugged the ex to no end that I wasn't going to fight for stuff. He truly lost all of his control over me when I let this all go.
And good for you! As extremely difficult in time it is when the relationship is falling apart, cooler heads hopefully prevail in what really matters to do next. Mainly like cancel credit cards & bank accounts first! lol Second, secure a lawyer & in keeping a roof over your head.
imo,this would be the most important list of things to do.
was just glad to never have to fight with him again over such bs.
True, imo it's a totally Waste of Energy when you think about it now,to save all the past crap.
Do you really need to hang on to stuff to remind you of a failed relationship & if you find another love in your life to tell them it was from whats from his or hers.........! NOT lol
I gave away most of the non ecential stuff to the Good Will. And when I got back on track gave away that other stuff too.
cheers

Interesting article about obesity and health
Posted: 9/20/2012 9:24:33 AM
To me, fitness does depend more on actual health than being at a perfect weight, but being within a reasonable weight has got to be important. Heavier people may live as long as slimmer ones, but the quality of life is not the same for a healthy person within a reasonable weight and a healthy person who is seriously over weight.
Good point as exercise does not produce extreme weight loss but does promote better health overall.
And with eating in moderate & with some good genes to go along, will help in your quality of life.
Your body is one of the most wonderful of all organ's, as it was made to work.
And it can fight back when it gets abused,yet it too would like your help,once in a while.......cheers

OP, I would take anything that says it's "flame retardant" with a grain of salt. Almost everything will burn eventually if you try hard enough. There's a reason why you shouldn't smoke around things.

I'm 25 yrs old, He is 50 yrs old....can it work???
Posted: 9/19/2012 3:57:30 PM
So I don't really under stand why a women of any age, and especially one that is in good shape should have a problem dating. There are tons of men, especially older men, that complain they can't get any kind of date. One would think the two groups should be able to get together and have a good time.
That's a good question & if these folks who solely rely on meeting other folks on the internet,but don't have the time or inking or other....
imo both sexes for what ever reason think they are right but when you look at their method both are lacking in where to look if you really want to meet someone other then a ego thingy to fix, a ax to grind, or etc! lol imo these thing are the biggest challenges or road blocks.
For the men here, as they are the biggest ratio who subscribes here,like 90% vs 10% women, so why do you think your odds are that great in meeting someone,yet the disappointment is greater in not not meeting the fairer sex ?
And for a women,my question why is it that not that many singles-women are not here, to make it more of a level playing field?
It can't just be location, location location.
But contra mon ami! it can be something a lot bigger or a lot less! Just do the math & only fish where the fish swim like the similar minded ones like you.
She benefits from my experience, I benefit from her enthusiasm.
Sounds like a lovely pair, as you got a keeper who still loves to swim in clear waters with fresh eyes...

Ex wants fwb
Posted: 9/17/2012 4:31:03 PM
She's using you. Just like so many people do, she using you to get her needs met and she doesn't give one rat's azz about yours.
I know that a lot of guys with think you're crazy to pass it up but she sounds like a mess and you're going to end up butt hurt in the end.
Find someone who cares about your feelings too, not just her own.
Yes, of all the many human faults in life & relationships,this one is right on top. and it shouldn't be till you take action & stop enabling these people.
In getting with no intended over the hump,& moving on & away from folks like this,even the ones you don't really know but their mo still spells the same crapola.. lol
Remember op,whether it be a former lover, girl friend,a ex etc,or for that matter some hot poon- tang you seen here with the same mo, she alright has you dupe in thinking of you as another stew-nod to be trolled along.
Why be second best with folks like this? Good luck, life is short, & even shorter for those who enable folks who are only can here their own drum & fwb till something comes better!

Everyone here who is single is here because the last relationship failed (except for widows or widowers, so those failed relationships were no better or worse than your daughter's. They all still failed.
I agree! And at least the one who is older & dies first did it not out of a failed relationship or love lost! lol

Advice needed I compare my EX to my current GF.
Posted: 9/13/2012 3:04:11 PM
don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
she'll beat you if she's able
you know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
now it seems to me, some fine things
have been laid upon your table
but you only want the ones that you can't get
desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
and freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
your prison is walking through this world all alone
So true, a very cool song! As many use this site to tell their tale,but in reality, they are the prisoner's now, too,
They wait for the key,in what love lost,is now gone.......as the lock is broken too....

She stops talking to me
Posted: 9/12/2012 5:11:36 PM
Why after we planned to go out the following week would she delete my number? It's not as if I left her wondering if I would ask her out. I already did, and she said yes.
Yes, it sucks when you actually trust & believe in doing something like meeting a person & then they go blank on you after you both have decide to meet.
This has only happened to me twice, as imo, let my guard down in trusting them to soon to believe in their validity.
We all fail but we must be true in are own self respect & honor nonetheless.
There are 100 reasons why they get cold feet,but remember,it was not you or some other guy,cuz , most are just not really emotionally ready to date or get involved with someone else,but here for moral support or what ever till then.
You young enough to find folks who dig the same stuff like you without the blank responses without knowing first their mo's.......good luck & keep true to yourself as that should never wane in the big pic.....

Is your Sofa Really Safe?
Posted: 9/11/2012 7:10:54 AM
Been reading for the last couple of years how the flame retardants are put into every thing we touch,sit & sleep on,are not as safe as the Big Chem wants you to believe. Now that's a shock!
Yet they seem to think they need to save all the folks who still sleep in bed smoking! And especially those damn infants need to stop it too! lol just kidding
So now the next battle is who is b s-ing who here.
And for all those who don't know about these retardants we all be ingesting , just check out the past articles in the NYT & Chi-Trib.
So what are your thoughts on this. And can this really be the demise of the Couch Potato?

Posted: 9/8/2012 7:17:09 AM
So get some cheap thrills before her boyfriend punches you in the face.
Or this could turn into a three-some without a bloody nose? Just one more possibility out there op. lol
And yes op, there are folks out there,whether committed or not will test the waters out there to confirm to ' their ego' they still got the mojo. Just read the fora for awhile.......lol
Seriously Dude, sounds like your at the point of life to either shzt or get off the pot. Methink you take the road alone because of all responsibility a healthy relationship requires.
imo, find a girl like you wishes no commitment value or if any total freedom & responsibility issues here when called a pond.
A part time s/o if you will when the mood strikes you or her.
A fwb would do you well for those who like you in the same mind set. jmo

White Bread demise/Whole grain labels
Posted: 9/7/2012 3:11:28 PM
I enjoy eating Canyon Bakehouse Bread,gluten free,sugar free & yes it does taste like real bread too!
But I would suggest that you go read "Wheat Belly" for the nitty gritty on the many evils of modern bread and other wheat products.
I haven't read it but,have you told that to all the French folks who love their unbleached, whole wheat flour baguettes white bread & have ,aka flat stomachs! lol what did they miss there?
imo,That was the hardest thing for me to give up in all the white breads, but have found a vg baguettes french bread which is wheat free! [Against the Grain] cheers

Study shows Organic foods are not healthier
Posted: 9/7/2012 7:51:21 AM
Thought I would bring the story here for the POF'ers to review!
Organic farming is much more then just food we eat! Is our environment healthier & better off with the other methods that have been used for the last 75 years ?
So have you never read 'Silent Spring"? DDT But don't worry, at least we still have other pesticides to take up the slack.
The question did not address is there less pollution,run off,etc from pesticides,now did it. No. The fish populations is less,it did not help with them did it.
Did it also miss out on sustainable farming? No. Carbon foot print,No. And where is all those Bees population's been going lately???
I could go on & on with the growing over population of the planet, etc but methink nature will take care of that too as mankind has yet to heed its own fate.

Study shows Organic foods are not healthier

However wouldn't you know ,...which company donated the most to Not pass the prop?
of course it was Monsanto.
True,as Monsanto has, & the other dozen or so who want this bill stopped in CA., has just for fun has added one of the same chemical components from Agent Orange mixture. into their GMO kettle. NG
The GMO industry reminds me of the Tobacco industry as to say don't worry as it's very harmless to humans, children,kids,unborn,etc.....right on Marlboro Man....cough,cough......
And if you want to eat the least polluted from big chem of all veg's, it goes to the humble onion.........cheers

How do you define Athletic?
Posted: 9/5/2012 4:18:30 PM
"It's very funny how most of people on this site define their body type as athletic. Mirror Mirror, tell me am?
Whats funny is I will only contact folks who say they are average. Even thought they are fit & trim. Why?
Cuz those are the ones who need not,"blow their own horn for attention or other wise"!
As they can carry themselves without the unnecessary fan fare or other motives..........cheers

IS THE WORD FIT SCARING THE BEEJEEBERS OUT OF ANYONE ELSE?????
Posted: 8/31/2012 4:30:25 PM
Nothing matters online, people can describe themselves any way they want. The truth will out when you meet.
That's why REAL LIFE dating is the way to go, not this online lie-fest.
Good point!!!! and if I might add, imo if said person, if he or she is not importantly in my mind also, " Mentality Fit Too".
Then all the dumb bells he or she lifts will never get you past first base in the real world.....
So being scared is more then looks, to me. cheers!

Traveling to another country to meet someone
Posted: 8/30/2012 8:15:41 AM
I've traveled to a few countries to meet people - England, Australia, a few others. I don't see it as too big a deal as long as you're smart about it. It was a great excuse to take some away and travel, and of course meeting someone nice is always a bonus.
So true ....There are some who do & some that can only traveled as far as their pc screen yet give out advice as if they ever did or know first hand ! lol
imo, that is the big difference in meeting anyone, whether be across the street or across the world.
So my advice - the friend you're going with? Stay with her. Plan your vacation with her and her friends. Include him in a few activities, but don't make it all about him. Feel things out first, then see where you want it to lead from there.
Excellent advice! As the op & her friend across the pond,they,imo are just very excited to finally meet up & nothing more. jmo
A women's intuition or for that a mans too should also rule in how you trust & believe in people & things. Unfortunately online dating has a way to go in that respect....
And jsyk, I just return from UK from holiday & while there,I mention it to a old friend I met here 5 years ago,as she since has a new beau in her life ,yet they still welcomed me into her house to visit.
Being friends & respecting each other can go a long way,longer then in miles or km......

how much Omega 3?
Posted: 8/17/2012 6:31:13 PM
"All these diseases have a common genesis in inflammation,
So what you all are saying because of what you eat,or don't eat, your past & present lifestyle,age, genetics ,your chances of is this inflammation is much greater now! And regardless of a active life style, living well & eating in moderation ?
And here I thought moving to Florida was the 'Fountain of Youth! Or was it in the fora! ^^^^^^^^
imo, the silver bullet is..............just ask curly from ,'City Slickers'!

Yet, as usual another thread from a few,in turning it into a sour grapes festival more about themselves then the subject matter at hand.
Meryl Streep is a woman. A wonderful actor, who also stared in 'Out of Africa',' Sophie's Choice', & many others.
And this from a lady friend of mine.Tommy Lee Jones is not cute! He doesn't have to be.
As his persona, and they way he carry's himself, is what attracts the the opposite sex.

Dealing with Neighbours
Posted: 8/8/2012 4:03:26 PM
I think I'm just going to have to start socking away a little more money and keep my eyes peeled for another place in the area, even if it means giving up the ability to walk to work/such low rent. :/ That or hope they move out! XD
Hope??? As in life, anything that is really good, that is worth while is worth doing.
& anything that just drops out of the sky,might take you a little longer,if at all..................
imo, hope is good when thinking of mankind & the world around you,
& to help yourself is not waiting for the shoe to drop,
but to take the first step,as then change will come for you.
Sometimes its not always the cost, but the quality that counts in being happy & content......good luck

Dealing with Neighbours
Posted: 8/7/2012 4:36:47 PM
op, whether you live in a apartment or residential neighborhood,etc. Sometimes you can pick a good neighborhood & some times you need to be diplomatic nonetheless over the years.
imo best take care of business right away without calling 911, a Swat Team,the Navy Seals, Royal Mount Police,etc^^^^^^^^ first.
Such is life in the Grown-Up world, with dealing with other people,kids,animals etc.
But if you don't or can't deal without any being personally upset 24/7, I would just lose your deposit & leave.....
I'm sure you can find some where its only single or married,& no kids,no smoking, or animals are allowed.
kinda like living on the fora without the...........! ^^^^^^^^not^^^^^^
Persons caught making nuisance calls or reporting fake incidents are subject to persecution.
Yes, & to think when the Police,Fire Department, EM trucks have to waste so much time with these frivolous trips with these,[I won't say] wasting precious time where there are people hurt & in danger is beyond me.
& then you have these parents who call the police on their kids cuz They can't discipline their own. wtf

Separated, says he wants true love, but then runs....
Posted: 8/7/2012 3:25:50 PM
As for the subject of the thread, could it be that this man is simply "experimenting" with people. Getting back into the "game." Perhaps he really misses the companionship aspect of a relationship but isn't yet prepared or willing to explore what his next steps should be.
Interesting, your statement when it comes down to it,is more telling then all the rest of the of the,' he said she said,' blab blab the fora could ever say.
When it really comes down to dating again openly, or ever to love again or not or anything for that matter. imo i think for those who have loved & lost more then their fair share, that would also fit into the gun shy category too. And rightly so as its not a game to them anymore. Let alone love or better, common sense.
So if he or she,what ever the circumstance is,if he or she is not,mentality,emotionally,& honestly there, the chance is like 100,000 to 1 you will find a person who is. And if the success rate here is only 10% then it might be even greater than
that!
Is it time in live in a shoe? Or live in a shoe alone only during the week days?

Should the Paterno Statue been removed?
Posted: 8/5/2012 4:57:06 PM
paterno and sandusky were not friends. by all accounts, paterno couldn't stand sandusky. after
getting secondhand information, paterno reported the incident to the president and the
campus police director. then, he said he hadn't done enough. he admitted it. he had a fatal and
tragic character flaw.
But in their minds,the pocket book & ego's knew, the show must go on.
It's only a tragic character flaw ? Right,but if you guys did not get caught, then what would you thought then?
Can ya smell a rat here!
And for those who were on the school payroll for all those years that turned their heads,instead of blowing the whistle,but they felt it was only this little character flaw & a little horsey play in the showers!
And ya got to love it,when Sandusky wifie when said, "I was totally clueless of what daddy was up to for all those years" wtf
bottom-line,cuz $$$$$ talks.
And then you have this winner.
i can't go into detail, but there's a lot more going on than meets the eye.
and the freeh report is bull.
& it's like the same people who thought the Consecration camps really did not happen,like in " Crappy valley".
To be in Denial,imo is worse then the sin. So it really never happened as they like to say.
And what to do with the statue, I say melt it down & make it into a cage, & then put Sandusky in it.

Separated, says he wants true love, but then runs....
Posted: 8/4/2012 7:38:08 AM
Many people will charge into the dating game after a long term relationship ends because it's exciting to have a new partner and feel the way you never thought you could again. Then they realize that they want to test the waters because they never learned how to be alone.Solitude is not a bad thing.
True, the fear of being un attached for many is very scarey. And probably why most of those who rush into a 2nd relationship's fail even faster then the first.
imo, In trying to make yourself whole, try living alone, first in building your self confidence without using others to get you there before your unfinished business ended first.
Unfortunately & sadly for many, their unfinished business have a double edged sword, as they grow longer in the tooth, unbeknownst to them now, which can & has ruined many a good prospects out there. Such is life when getting old,as fear of flying has taken over.

Separated vs Divorced: The truth will set you free!
Posted: 8/3/2012 5:12:26 PM
There are plenty of those people to date and who are happy to date the same ~ those who offer what they offer and who have weathered the same storms over the years,
And there are those who are still in the eye of the storm,as for them the storm as yet to pass.......
And imo,
So for those who extend another a palm leaf, never think it was done in vain,as maybe, the other was not ready to receive it, cuz of their personal storm within.....& not because of you......

Is This Guy For Real??
Posted: 8/2/2012 8:23:45 AM
Sincere people prefer to meet sooner rather than later. Beyond a week or two I lose interest & don't take them seriously.
Yes,if your fortunate enough to meet someone who is sincere & honest up front, even before you even meet, that is a positive sign then being played as just another pretty face.
Or you can think of it as being a used car sales person so your feeling won't be hurt if they don't like what there is on the lot.^^^^^^^^
Too quick for some, especially women, but standing against the wall isn't why I'd go to a dance either.
I don't if its too quick,not sure, the % of men vs women available, or just here to kick the tires to get them through the night. maybe all of the above.
and this taken from the op's other post a few months ago.
but unfortunately some people on PoF lose interest quick and move on to the next. One way is to see if he's still on PoF fishing or what I would do is call him and ask him if he wants to go out again. Whatever you do don't waste your time waiting. There are some great guys who will like you.

Sweet Misery - A Poisoned World (Aspartame)
Posted: 8/2/2012 7:29:41 AM
As for the assertion that raw, unprocessed honey is the bees knees (get it?), honey in a raw, unprocessed state contains allergens that can be fatal to sensitive individuals.
Yes,I get it! ^^^^^^^^^^^
And yes, for those who are sensitive[ have allergies] to its pure form,by all means do not ingest it.
I do much of of my work outside & in my shop. & loratadine seems to keep my sensitivities from pollen & dust at bay.
And for other sweet stuff out there maybe try, organic blue agave sweetener , & a low glycemic level too.
Of course Mom thinks I'm full of hot air, but that's mom.
She sounds like a wonderful woman! Now finish your vegetables^^^^^^^^

Everything happens for a reason..
Posted: 7/31/2012 5:09:40 PM
I could take my back injury as it has a reason.. because I choose to.
It took that to get me into a lot of activities that have improved myself physically and mentally I would otherwise probably not gotten involved with .
So if someone said, if you could have walked in your shoes, and the reason, is that the path you chose.....
Kinda weird how life throws us all a curve, but perseverance & faith has its rewards,unbeknownst to reason,but hopefully will bring you, peace of mind.
