Cell Phones On a Date,Do You Really Need It? Posted: 2/28/2008 11:15:55 PM
I don't think it's rude to have a cell phone..for many reasons. However- when your on a date and someone calls you or you call them just to "chat" then yes I would consider that part rude. My cell phone stays with me for several reasons....several of my reasons are; just in case my Mother-in-law falls or gets sick and needs me she can reach me, and just in case I need to call the police ..you just never know who your going to meet!!

What do you think of a man (or woman) who comes on really strong right away? Posted: 2/20/2008 3:34:07 PM
When someone starts that, I start backing away...to me it seems they are so desperate they will settle for just anyone almost. I want to take things slower and want them to know me, inside first before they decide they just want to leap in there..either in bed, or in being together supposedly forever! When they say trust me..that usually says watch out..., some who say they have feelings that sudden just want to get you in the bed- then all of a sudden their feelings change again..., so just be on your guard!!

Out of the closet... a Woman at my age? Posted: 2/18/2008 7:20:10 PM
I think maybe she sees you as a friend just as you do with her. She's gay..and she feels comfortable with you, and like any other friend she invites you to a part of her life, just like friends do. Maybe she knows you would be ok going anywhere with her, and just enjoying the fact of having a good friend that she can trust and talk to. Most everyone is curious..because it's something different- you've never been around gay people, so it makes you think about it because all of a sudden you have a good friend that happens to be gay. Just relax, be yourself, dress how you feel comfortable...and just have a good time with friends.

Why do so many people seem to hate cops? Posted: 1/24/2008 7:23:02 PM
I used to respect them...and I still say yes sir, no sir when asked a question out of my own manners..but when they won't respect me as a person with an honest problem..then my trust tends to be broken. Not one officer with a backbone has even tried to help, and that speaks volumes to me. I've tried doing the right things, but when a person outside has no idea which direction to turn, or what steps to take..makes it very difficult all the way around.

Same here craftylady...I've been as far as the FBI, KBI, Attorney General's in 2 states, the Governor of my state, the new sheriff in the County that my husband died in, and even a grand jury...and it has remained in the local sector..no getting it out beyond that County. I don't agree with anything, and I have questions that are refused to be answered by any one!! All I hear from anyone is I have to go through the County in which my husband died in...I don't want to deal with that County, I want an outside agency that doesn't know anyone in that County, that doesn't know me, that didn't know my husband...I want a fair investigation. But apparantly that is too much to ask for!!

What is your flavor....credit card or cash? Posted: 1/22/2008 6:26:12 PM
I use cash, debit, and credit card...pay off the balance every month. I hate the way the credit card companies do people with their high interest rates, late fees that are outrageous...so I would rather not loose my money to extra fees.

Sorry, but I can't add my pic on here and there's a good reason for that....and I changed the age mainly for the purpose that anyone could contact me if they wanted to know something further on a comment I made, or if I had experienced something and they wanted to know how I handled things...I'm far from desperate, and sure hope it doesn't sound as if I am.

Don't like Cops Posted: 1/19/2008 9:20:12 PM
In my opinion only-...I think first off you need to quit blurting out constantly that your bi-sexual constantly-...sexual preference should be up to each individual, but personally I don't care what you are, or who your with but I sure think it's tacky to blurt it out all the time. Second...regardless who the man is- he was needing help. Your job is to help those that walk in those doors- same as with any other job. If you walked in somewhere and they refused to wait on you or help you the first words from your mouth would racist, or because you like to sleep with both sexes....it's wrong...your job is to close your mind to who or what anyone is or does for a living and help them in the situation that has arisen. Third....I agree on some of your post..some cops are pretty bad, and I know there has to be some good ones out there too somewhere. The cops would come to house if you called them and help you, regardless what you are or the situation..., but I'm not saying it's always the right thing they do when they get there, but they do come. But, how you dealt with the situation at your job was just plain unprofessional and downright racist just because of who he worked for.

I used to dream all the time..now, I just have this one dream, not every night but just ever so often..but it's the same dream over and over.......the past 4 yrs. It's more of a nightmare for me. I think I know why I have it, but I would like to stop with that dream!!

When cops cover for other cops even when it's wrong, then they don't have my respect. If they would do the right thing at all times then they would be respected more.

Dating a widower...HELP I'm so confused?? Posted: 1/14/2008 7:59:27 PM
I've been widowed for 4 yrs now, and I have pictures up of my late husband,and of us together..but mine is to keep me going. My situation is alot different than most people's however..I have to fight a battle so I want his pictures up to make me keep that fight going. When I walk in I look at him and vow to make it right. I've been through the grieving, the sadness, loneliness and sometimes I wish I could take my pictures and put them away but, I need that extra ummpfff to keep going. Some days it's rough still, but give him time....your not in competition with a deceased woman....he will realize someday he needs to move on further.

if you had a child and they were born mentally challenged, would you keep it? Posted: 1/1/2008 7:26:07 PM
Never would I give up a child because he/she was disabled. If the child needed special facilities that I couldn't provide, then I would decide what was best for my child. But if it was to where I could at all possible take care of them then I would in a heartbeat..they are and would always be a part of me and never could I turn my back on them.

Are men who have lots of GFs perceived as more attractive? Posted: 1/1/2008 5:31:17 PM
To message 56;...yes, I am well aware of all that...that's why I would prefer the playboys to keep romping elsewhere and not anywhere near me. That's the main reason I stay away from men who think they are all that....they don't care about anything else except who they can go out with, or who they can tap next...I have no room for that!

If the man has multiple women..he can forget about getting this one in his little harem. I'm the type of person that if he thinks he can have anyone..he has another thought coming. I don't mind him being friends with anyone, or going out and doing what he likes to do at all..but if it's tapping other women- then no thanks..I don't want the possibility of STD's, or aids...so if that's what he wants then he can go looking elsewhere.

Home Alone For the Posted: 12/25/2007 8:08:30 AM
I've been alone for every holiday now for the past 4 yrs..but, I've worked on every holiday the past 30 yrs. I try to keep my mind on my work and not drift away to the happier days. It makes my heart ache when I see happy couples shopping, or a woman trying to find something special for her man. But, I will get some angels off the angel tree at work and buy gifts for children who need it,..I also adopt a Grandmother and Grandfather at the nursing home who doesn't have anyone to come see them and make sure they have a great Christmas, and I will also do things for them on every holiday and on their birthdays. I try not to think of my sadness and just try to brighten others. I hope everyone here has a Merry Christmas...and may God give you peace, and happiness.

What is your fantasy Christmas Eve/Christmas? Posted: 12/22/2007 7:49:12 PM
I would love to be in a cabin away from everyone..and have someone special pull up in a sleigh and horse, and take me on a moonlit ride, then back to the cabin with just candles lit, and sipping wine in front of a cozy fireplace, and just enjoying the evening with that special someone.

Christmas/Holiday gifts Posted: 12/21/2007 7:00:32 AM
I've given several I was proud of- I got a small tree one time and the money I owed my in-laws I folded and clipped on the tree and made it a money tree plus another 100.00 on it for part of their Christmas. This year..I found a Christmas ornament with a drum on it and painted my husband's birthdate date and death date on it for my Mother-in-law, and another ornament with fishing on it, and painted my Father-in-laws birth and death date on it...so she can have those to hang on her tree for remembrance. Found a wreath that's battery operated with a teddy bear in the middle playing a drum, and I know she will like that at the cemetary.

Where does this fear of control come from? Posted: 12/16/2007 7:01:33 PM
First husband was very controlling..to the point of taking the phone to work with him so I couldn't call anyone, unhooking the car to where it wouldn't run, and threatening me if I dare step out of the house...total control freak. Second husband-..the first year were together 24/7, worked at the same places, shopped together, cooked together, did everything together..then, to help him on some old financial issues..I started working 2 jobs..we were apart alot. We were together as much as we could be on my time off, but he never tried to control me, or make any demands on me whatsoever.... we were together forever- we were one always. We would still be together, if he hadn't been shot. I will never have another man like my first...but a man like my second..possibly. I'm not ready to share my life again right yet, but if and when I do..I just hope it's someone as special as my 2nd.

I dont know what to do Posted: 12/15/2007 7:03:47 PM
I agree with happyrebel- msg 50....I was probably wrong in what I said before and I do apologize for my hasty comment. My father-in-law had several of the small mini strokes..and several months later had a major one which caused hemorraging in his brain..he passed away about 8 hrs after his last stroke. I lost my husband suddenly 4 yrs ago, when he was shot. I never got the chance to say goodbye, or be there for him when he took his last breath. It's not easy when you loose the one you love... I'm sorry that your going through such a hard time-in that department-...but she won't be here forever and I just hope you will make the best of what time you do have left with her. You have the rest of your life to explore other options with no guilt feelings then.

Spousal Support Posted: 12/15/2007 2:49:31 PM
When I divorced my first husband...he was ordered to pay 125.00 a month child support....never saw a dime of it. They didn't have spousal support..but even if they did have it, I wouldn't have recieved a dime of that either. He and his family were very good friends with everyone at the courthouse...and it didn't matter that he was the abusive spouse....but that child support wasn't for me, which he thought it was..and he was mad at me because I filed for divorce. But, I took care of my son..and he still got visitation regardless of any support. If I didn't, I was dragged into court over 400 miles away..and if I wasn't there I was in contempt.....sorry...I have no faith in the judicial system, even to this day..it still fails the ones who need it.

Honesty and the One Night Stand Posted: 12/13/2007 3:31:31 AM
No.... for men who just want one night stands isn't getting anything from me especially respect. That tells me they don't care about their health and they don't care for the health of the women they want to sleep with one time. Just my own opinion of course.

If that is all that is on your mind, is sex...then get a divorce and do what you think you need to do....quit trying to blame her which in a sense that's what your doing..because she's not able to give you what you want. If sex is what your wanting then divorce her, and then you will be free to do what you wish.... harsh but true

Do you ever just get tired of dating? Posted: 12/8/2007 6:28:46 AM
Yes...and that's why I choose not to date, and just be content with my life the way it is now. After the few dates that I did go on..and as soon as they met me, it's constant iming, e-mailing, wanting to meet again..wanting to go everywhere I do, and it just made me pull back..maybe I'm not ready for anyone else... But..maybe it's destined for me to remain alone and be happy with my life the way it is. Good luck to everyone else though..I do hope it goes better for you.

The loss of an unborn child. Posted: 11/30/2007 6:03:25 PM
Rare-Jewel-- I am so sorry for your loss. The pain of losing a baby is excruciating I know. I lost my son when he was 1 day old and I wish there was some magical thing that I could say or do to help you with the pain. In time..the pain lessens...some it takes longer than others, but time helps the most. All you can do is put your faith in God and pray, and maybe grief counseling will help. Not one single day goes by that I don't think of my son, but I have comfort in knowing he's with God and he won't be suffering. I will sure keep you in my thoughts and prayers and hope you will be able to come to peace within yourself....

Things that touch your heart. Posted: 11/25/2007 9:10:04 PM
My late husband..when he just suddenly stopped on the highway, and ran out into a field of bluebonnets and picked some, came back to the car..and bent down on his knee and asked this little texan to marry him. I said I wasn't ready for marriage right then, but he kept asking me every single day for 2 months- non-stop. Then we were watching a movie called "A Place in Time" and he said that's how he would be, finding anyway in the world to get back with me.....he was just so special and touched my heart everyday in some small way, and sometimes in a big way..:)

If you truly cared for this man you wouldn't care what he did for a living. If you did care for him you will support his decision, write him, call him, and just be there for him. Serving your country is hard work and the last thing he needs is someone that he has to worry about- is she cheating, is she out partying while I'm over here doing my job, will she love me no matter what happens to me....How would you want him to be if it was you who made a choice to do something?

Is your house a home? Posted: 11/23/2007 7:02:00 PM
No..I lost my home when I lost my husband, then moved to an apartment in town..never felt comfortable, moved into a house with my son..never felt comfortable, now live in another apartment. They won't let you put things on the walls like a regular home should be..so to me it's not a home, it doesn't feel homey at all. But one of these days I do plan on having my own home again with a big kitchen, big master bedroom and bathroom, and big living room with a fireplace..once again. Once I get my own house again...then I can call it home.

Trusting another after being abused Posted: 11/17/2007 5:46:28 PM
I was in a very abusive relationship for 7 yrs, and it took awhile to start letting that guard down. My 2nd husband was very understanding, and very helpful..and I finally starting trusting again. Then I realised, not every man is abusive or controlling. So now I can start a new relationship with trust, and until they show me differently it will remain a strong relationship. I lost my 2 nd husband 4 yrs ago, but he sure helped me understand what life was really about!!

There's too much I would like to do...but definately a huge home for abused women and children with any kind of help they needed to make it on their own. I would like to be a top notch lawyer and go after scum bags, especially crooked law enforcement and judges. I would like to have the best nursing homes for our elderly because they deserve the best care possible, I would love to be the one to find a cure for cancer and wipe it out, and cures for all diseases....and my list could go on and on...but I would love to help others any way possible.

Why do men have affairs? Posted: 10/28/2007 9:37:53 PM
My late husband asked me to marry him 50 times a day, for 2 months straight before I finally said oookkk.........but...I told him he better think long and hard on it before he stood before God and everyone and speak those vows to me. When I take those vows I mean every word I say and I would expect the same from the man I loved. I put him before anyone else, and I know he did the same. We did have some rough spots over the years but I don't think neither one cheated on the other. When we were talking one day..I told him if he ever did decide to cheat..I would hope he would show me the respect to divorce me first because I wouldn't want any diseases or anything because of his studidity. I think I deserve alot more than that...but, if a couple truly love each other and they are married..then I would hope they wouldn't stoop that low just for a thrill of some strange and put themselves in the other spouse's shoes and see how it would feel if it happened to them...Marriage is sacred ( just my opinion on cheating)

how do you get rid of roach bugs Posted: 10/27/2007 5:20:17 AM
I had trouble with those many years ago. You have to do alot and keep it up....I carry out my trash every evening, keep dishes washed, my flour and sugar stay in the ice box, cake mixes and everything like that stays in plastic...I also got this stuff called combat- roach killing gel..and I put it all over the place. It looks nasty..but..the bugs crawl over it and they carry that to the others on their feet..and it kills them. It's expensive from walmart..but I didn't care. You can't leave food out at all, they love newspapers, paper sacks, cardboard...so you have to try and take their sources away. Good luck.........

I don't mind a short goodnight kiss, but I don't appreciate the hands going to my butt, or squeezing me so tight, and the rubbing when they hug you...that just makes me want to hurl.

Being ripped off by a contractor Posted: 10/24/2007 8:06:13 PM
I had a contractor who was hired to do some work on the roof, and the front windows. He came to me and said he needed half of the money to get materials..so I gave him a check. We made out a signed agreement, ..then he said he needed the money to pay his hired hands...He showed up after the first day, bringing his equipment..and they tinkered around all day....then I never saw him again. He had most of the money, and he had done no work...After trying for 3 months of calling him..I finally went by the Sheriff's department and filed charges against him..it went to small claims court..and after 6 months I finally got every cent back. I hope you can go after him ..don't ever give up!! There's alot of contractors who do that crap..get the money and never do the work

I would prefer not to know what they had..it's not their money that makes the person inside. But..to answer the question- only if I loved them, because I don't care how much they have- but please don't flaunt it in my face because I won't take that!

What is it with casinos? Posted: 10/19/2007 7:52:21 PM
Now that is really sad when people stoop that low. I've seen people gamble their whole paychecks, a few have lost their homes, their cars...it's really bad if you can't control the gambling on some people. I worked all night in one casino for a year before I ever started even playing..and watched alot ..that's when I decided I would never let them have a dime of mine.:)

Does it take more willlpower for women to be faithful? Posted: 10/19/2007 5:22:39 AM
I think both have been that way, but men are the worst. I've seen alot of married men who don't care that either him nor the female is married as long as they can get some strange they are happy. Overall I think women have more self control when it comes to that issue, they have more on their minds like what to cook for dinner, working the budget out, cleaning house, raising the kids, etc..etc....men have a tendency to think very little with what's upstairs, but alot with what's downstairs.
