Home Alone Posted: 12/19/2007 5:48:34 PM
Wow - I am so glad I visited here tonight. I have been having quite a pity party tonight. I have been divorced 24 years, and being alone on the holidays has never really bothered me until this year. I too would like to just skip all the months until March. I wonder why all of the sudden this is bothering me?

Sign’s He’s Just Not That Into You Posted: 12/16/2007 9:25:50 AM
When you are iced in without electricity and he does not even attempt to call you on your cell phone. Big mistake.

copied from Swampthngs post "I get that response when I spell it "meat", like: So, I'd like to meat you. /" I wonder how Sigmond Freud would analize the "innocent" typo?

How can I tell my parents Posted: 9/9/2007 3:46:22 PM
OP, tell them that you have joined an exciting site full of wonderful people, who express and share fascinating ideas and thoughts. This way, you can avoid the stigma of the whole “dating site” controversy, which for some reason, seems to still exist in rural parts of the country, Then when you start to date, you can let them know you are seeing a friend, that you have been communicating with!!!!

the princess and the frog Posted: 9/9/2007 2:43:05 PM
There was this male engineer, on a cruise ship in the Caribbean for the first time. It was wonderful, the experience of his life. He was being waited on hand an foot. But, it did not last. A Hurricane came up unexpectedly. The ship went down almost instantly. The man found himself, he knew not how, swept up on the shore of an island. There was nothing else anywhere to be seen. No person, no supplies, nothing. The man looked around. There were some bananas and coconuts, but that was it. He was desperate, and forlorn, but decided to make the best of it. So for the next four months he ate bananas, drank coconut juice and mostly looked to the sea mightily for a ship to come to his rescue. One day, as he was lying on the beach stroking his beard and looking for a ship, he spotted movement out of the corner of his eye. Could it be true, was it a ship? No, from around the corner of the island came this rowboat. In it was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen, or at least seen in 4 months. She was tall, tanned, and her blond hair flowing in the sea breeze gave her an almost ethereal quality. She spotted him also as he was waving and yelling and screaming to get her attention. She rowed her boat towards him. In disbelief, he asked, "Where did you come from? How did you get here"? She said, "I rowed from the other side of the island. I landed on this island when my cruise ship sank" "Amazing", he said, "I didn't know anyone else had survived. How many of you are there? Where did you get the rowboat? You must have been really lucky to have a rowboat wash-up with you?" "It is only me", she said, "and the rowboat didn't wash up, nothing else did." "Well then", said the man, "how did you get the rowboat?" "I made the rowboat out of raw material that I found on the island, " replied the woman. "The oars were whittled from Gum tree branches, I wove the bottom from Palm branches, and the sides and stern came from a Eucalyptus tree". "But, but, asked the man, what about tools and hardware, how did you do that?" "Oh, no problem, replied the woman, on the south side of the island there is a very unusual strata of alluvial rock exposed. I found that If I fired it to a certain temperature in my kiln, it melted into forgeable ductile iron. I used that for tools, and used the tools to make the hardware. But, enough of that, she said. Where do you live?" At last the man was forced to confess that he had been sleeping on the beach. "Well, let's row over to my place, she said." So they both got into the rowboat and left for her side of island. The woman easily rowed them around to a wharf that led to the approach to her place. She tied up the rowboat with a beautifully woven hemp rope. They walked up a stone walk and around a Palm tree, there stood an exquisite bungalow painted in blue and white. "It's not much, " she said, "but I call it home. Sit down please, would you like to have a drink?" "No, " said the man, "one more coconut juice and I will puke." "It won't be coconut juice, " the woman replied, "I have a still, how about a Pina Colada? Trying to hide his continued amazement, the man accepted, and they sat down on her couch to talk. After a while, and they had exchanged their stories, the woman asked, "Tell me, have you always had a beard?" "No", the man replied, "I was clean shaven all of my life, and even on the cruise ship". "Well if you would like to shave, there is a man's razor upstairs in the cabinet in the bathroom." So, the man, no longer questioning anything, went upstairs to the bath room. There in the cabinet was a razor made from a bone handle, two shells honed to a hollow ground edge were fastened on to its end inside of a swivel mechanism. The man shaved, showered and went back down stairs.... "You look great, said the woman, I think I will go up and slip into something more comfortable." So she did. And, the man continued to sip his Pina Colada. After a short time, the woman returned wearing fig leafs strategically positioned and smelling faintly of gardenia. "Tell me, " she asked, "we have both been out here for a very long time with no companionship. You know what I mean. Have you been lonely, is there anything that you really miss? Something that all men and woman need. Something that it would be really nice to have right now." "Yes there is, " the man replied, as he moved closer to the woman while fixing a winsome gaze upon her, "Tell me ... Do you happen to have an Internet connection?"

the princess and the frog Posted: 9/9/2007 9:35:13 AM
This is the fairy tale that should have been read to us girls when we were little: Once upon a time in a land far away, a beautiful, independent, self-assured princess happened upon a frog as she sat contemplating ecological issues on the shores of an unpolluted pond in a verdant meadow near her castle. The frog hopped into the princess' lap and said: 'Elegant Lady, I was once a handsome prince, until an evil witch cast a spell upon me. One kiss from you, however, and I will turn back into the dapper, young prince that I am and then, my sweet, we can marry and set up housekeeping in my castle with my mother, where you can prepare my meals, clean my clothes, bear my children, and forever feel grateful and happy doing so. ' That night, as the princess dined sumptuously on lightly sautéed frog legs seasoned in a white wine and onion cream sauce, she chuckled and thought to herself: I don't f----n' think so.

Favorite Season Posted: 9/9/2007 7:57:52 AM
Crisp air, football season, and the crunch of leaves under your feet. Bonfires, hayrack rides, the slowdown from summers work. Cool mornings, sweaters and jean jackets!! Piles of leaves, beautiful colors of orange, yellows, and reds. Fall is the best time of year!!

Now that we are over 45 let's look back... Posted: 9/6/2007 5:03:50 PM
Five years ago I was floored by the loss of one whom I had always taken for granted. He was our family’s rock and strength. I will always regret, that I did verbally thank my father for his support to a wild child, that he did not understand, but in his quiet way always unconditional excepted, and supported me, even when I threw away opportunities and defiantly held up my middle finger up to a way of life he cherished. Upon his death, for a multitude of reasons, I returned to this small community that has always regarded me as a social misfit. It has been a phase in my life that has been very painful, but I would do it all over again. This era has allowed my relationship with my mother to change, and for me to admire her strength. The debris from all the bridges that I have burnt in my life has stopped smoking, and is slowly being cleaned up. Thank-you forum friends, for allowing this posting, it is far more important than many of you know.

What have you learned about online dating here? Posted: 4/22/2007 6:36:23 PM
I have learned that….. The forum is addictive, and the amount of information and opinions are so infinite you forget why you originally signed up for this site. I have learned that I am being very rude; if someone posts an intriguing or irritating post, I have to check his or her profile. (Sorry people, this will not change) I have learned that the thread to shave (down below) should really come with a caution warning. (really) I have learned that with out a picture, you only get scary people emailing you, (except for several lovely human beings, thanks!!)

Night Creatures Arise! Posted: 4/19/2007 12:22:19 PM
I work the same hours as ipsigirl, (and you have worked them for six years?) I agree with all the reasons that you like third shift, and the shift differential is great, but did it take you a long time to get into a healthy sleep pattern? I tend to sleep extra hours one day, and for the next two days, I can barely nap.

Why do pretty women make you so flustered. Posted: 4/18/2007 6:12:06 PM
I am so glad to find out that I am not alone in this. If I meet a man I am attracted to, and try to carry out a rational, and somewhat intelligent conversation, I can pretty well demolish anything within an eight-foot radius. I met a very nice and kind gentleman at a wedding reception, and when he made it clear that he was single, and wanted my phone number, I wrote it down on a napkin. In the process of passing it to him, it caught on fire from the decorative candle that was on the table. By the time the flame was extinguished, he had cake in his lap and all parties at the table were soaked. Fortunately the videotape was unreadable because my cousin was laughing to hard to record. This is not the only potential date wreck, just the worst-case scenario. By the way, he never called, suprize!!!! Has anyone ever conquered this type of behavior?
