Nurses in the hospital.. NEED to vent! Posted: 12/1/2008 8:09:52 AM
I know I'm like 2 years behind, but I just found this thread. Canada has a healthcare program provided by the country as a whole. Unlike that of the US. To each their own. The healthcare in the US is by far better. We as a people hire who we want to care for us. As far as hospitals and nurses, well, you can see it both ways. I've seen nurses that just don't care, I've seen nurses that bend over backwards for their patients. As for me, a previous patient care tech, found that caring for deathly ill patients very cumbersome. SOme more than ever dependent strictly on the nurse and assistants. Like they are unable to do anything for themselves. True? Some nurses are strictly in it for the $$, which is unfortunate. But I know there is a shortage of RN's and they are pretty much able to choose where they want to work. Sadly but true, if the RN is in it for the $$, you're somewhat screwed. If the RN is in it for the trade, you'll experience a truly amazing experience.

Over 45 and being a fraidy cat to be in a relationship? Posted: 12/5/2007 6:10:39 AM
Is it better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all? You then learn what you don't want out of a relationship. Never look for what you want, stray from the don't wants. Of course, I'm a little leery, of taking the leap into intimacy. But, life is too short to spend it all alone. I've had relationships, some more simple than others. I guess, not as meaningful as they could have been, but it helped fill the void. Our character is built from our past. Though, I'm not as young as I once was, I won't rush.

Ex's Posted: 11/25/2007 7:55:11 AM
I speak with one of my ex's on occasion. He is the father of my grown children. I feel as though I have to be civil with him. Though our intimate relationship was doomed before it ever began and steadily took a downward dive, we speak. I choose not to shoot the shit with him though. I probably wouldn't tell the person (if I had one) we talk unless literally confronted about it. Is that bad....

Sleep patterns Posted: 11/25/2007 7:10:57 AM
I used to be a night owl. To bed extremely late between 1-3am and up 10-noon. Now days, there isn't any way I could do that any longer. More so in the last year, I'm to bed by 11pm and up at 630am. This is even without an alarm. I haven't figured out why my body did this to me. But I truly love it. Mornings are GREAT..... a big cup of coffee and soo ready for whatever comes my way. I guess my sleep habit change, has made a new woman out of me!

What will your kids find? Posted: 11/24/2007 4:39:52 PM
The stories they'd tell after my passing would be priceless. Why worry about it. Knowing my kids, they'd bury all of it with me. Gotta keep on smiling right?

Do You Ever ... Posted: 11/24/2007 4:09:05 PM
Sure, I want, need, dream, and wish for someone to come along, IN THIS LIFETIME. Who wouldn't. But I don't devote time in looking for someone. I carry on with life, one day at a time, doing my own thing, and loving not having to answer to anyone. Sure down the road it could change, if it happens it happens, if not....you know the rest. I've done more since I've been single than I ever did while married. But, I dream a little, my wild and crazy dreams, and know that one day, I'll know him when I run into him! wooooohooooooooo!

What is the ONE thing you want more than anything on earth for YOURSELF for Christmas??? Posted: 10/23/2007 9:09:22 PM
Own a Bed and Breakfast in the back country of Vermont! Whisking through snow draped tall pines on a horse drawn open sleigh, with a new love. Could it get any better than that? This is the ONE thing I want for me!

Long hair on older women Posted: 10/6/2007 9:21:26 AM
Long hair has been and always will be attractive on any age of woman (as long as she takes care of it of course). Short hair is alright too but a gal has to mess with it more to make it look decent. As for me, long is the best with curl, thickness and lots of body. Long hair on guys is attractive as well, of course if he keeps it well groomed. The main thing is what the gal wants, isn't that what really matter?

Is there sex after hysterectomy ? [subject edited] Posted: 9/14/2007 5:15:02 PM
I was 25 when I had my complete hysterectomy (not by choice). 21 years later and NOW I'm in my prime! Sex is good. HRT is good!

Bad situation, need some help Posted: 9/4/2007 8:27:52 PM
msg from osocute is 100% correct. Been there done that! I'm definitely not proud of what I didn't do, as I look back at my yesteryear. The real sting is that he says that she makes him this way. Therefore, for everything he says and for everything he does, it's her fault. This is a vicious cycle. It is strictly up to her to make the first move. She'll need to find her inner strength if she actually wants out. But she has to make that decision. Sad to say. She has to want it bad enough to leave or be sick and tired of being sick and tired of putting up with all the guff. Coulda, woulda, shoulda doesn't matter. Every situation is different. She needs to make the decision and family/friends need to be there for her. Things could get extremely ugly during the process of leaving, but she has to make that first move. It'll be one of the hardest things she'll ever do.

Men and their Age Issue? Posted: 8/30/2007 9:25:26 PM
touché. I haven't actually, that I'm aware of, been lied to about age. But then again, isn't age only a number? I've never dated a younger man before or someone much older. A lie is a lie therefore how can a relationship flourish on lies?

The Reason Why Weed Is A Crime. Posted: 8/29/2007 9:15:10 PM
Ok, it looks like thus far I'll be the only lady posting....we'll see though. For 20 some odd years I smoke pot on a daily basis. Sure, I'd get burnt, but I still did it. I smoked it, I grew it (had some head banging stuff too) then I quit it. I functioned just like anyone else. Granted, I was normally at home when I did do it, otherwise I'd probably not smoke it if I had to drive or operate heavy machinery . My attitude on this is like this, I was attending school, working full time and raising my family by myself. I'd toke to relax and take a breather, if you will. I, to this day, don't find any harm in it. I'm glad I went through what I did, it prepared me for the bullshit my kids put me through during their teem years experimenting with the stuff and the harder stuff....but that's a whole other story we won't explore! I'd rather see people sit around and get stoned than get drunk and become belligerent and invincible. Come on folks, think about it, pot is illegal yet alcohol isn't and is much more damning to yourself and others. One of my kids' smokes pot on occasion, I know it, he smokes it in front of me and it's ok. But as the thread goes, the F'd up government doesn't have a clue. But if you think about it, the price of weed will drop and so will the quality of it as well. There wouldn't be anymore premo stuff around. But I have many friends that enjoy a toke on occasion and they get the good stuff. Legalize it, tax it, whatever....let's just stop the crap of saying it is worse than alcohol. (by the way, have you watched on TV about beer vending machines) Let's just make alcohol that much easier to get at any age and at any hour. Final note: pot is grown, it's a plant that is NOT processed. The majority of the other feel good drugs are processed, a derivative of, either man made or.......you get the idea!

His and Hers Bedrooms? Posted: 8/29/2007 12:40:45 PM
You stated it great. That definitely is something to consider. Men can be slobs but then again, women can be as well. Great concept. You're still sharing your bed with the other and as long as it works between the couple, what's so wrong about it. THis is something I'd be interested in as well..........

Being, and acting over 45, do the 2 differ? Posted: 8/29/2007 12:28:56 PM
I am young at heart and I guess sometimes look half my age. Hell, I've been mistaken as being my son's wife and my daughters' sister. WTF? Crazy I know. I'm a grandmother of 2 and I have a lot of fun. Ya gotta remember this one: I DoN't WaNt To GrOw Up I Don't Want To Grow Up I Don't Want To Grow Up When I'm lyin' in my bed at nite I don't wanna grow up Nothing ever seems to turn out right And I don't wanna grow up How do you move in a world of fog that's always changing things Makes the wish that I could be a dog When I see the price that you pay I don't wanna grow up I don't ever wanna be that way And I don't wanna grow up Seems that folks turn into things that they never want The only thing to live for is today... I'm gonna put a hole in my T.V. set I don't wanna grow up Open up the medicine chest I don't wanna grow up I don't wanna have to shout it out I don't want my hair to fall out I don't wanna be filled with doubt I don't wanna be a good boy scout I don't wanna have to learn to count I don't want the biggest amount No I don't wanna grow up Well when I see my parents fight I don't wanna grow up They all go out and drinkin' all night And I don't wanna grow up I'd rather stay here in my room Nothin' out there but sad and gloom I don't wanna live in a big old tomb on grand street When I see the 5 o'clock news I don't wanna grow up Comb their hair and shine their shoes I don't wanna grow up Stay around in my old hometown I don't wanna put no money down I don't wanna get me a big old loan Work them fingers to the bone I don't wanna float on a broom Fall in love, get married then boom How the hell did I get here so soon No I don't want to grow up And YES I'm in DENIAL!!!!!

POF Dates - When does it end and romance begins? Posted: 8/29/2007 12:14:11 PM
To find a long term romance is unthinkable currently. Sure I want it, doesn't everybody? As for me, I've never had a "long term" relationship. I don't know if it is even in the cards. I've been single and dating far longer than my brief marriage of 1 1/2 years. I don't want to jump around but to find someone I am truly interested in would be a plus (of course him me too). A friend keeps telling me to think of the worst (single forever) and hope for the best. I do have to add that chatting with someone online you hear what you want, but to actually meet and talk, sometimes isn't the same and there isn't any chemistry. HMMMMM...sad but true! You'll know when the time is right to start the romance part of a relationship.

Online Dating............. Posted: 8/27/2007 9:43:16 PM
Ok, as I see it and call it, I am the same age as the OP and from yesteryear, things were different than they are now. Making a connection for 3 months, then having a rendezvous, makes people often of our age feel as though there is more to it than just passion. Such as g/f. Once the intimacy is deepened then somehow one feels as though there is a commitment to the other. Long distance or not. I'd probably feel the same. BUt now days, things are as they were. Things have turned more superficial than ever before. Granted there are the "old fashioned" relationships that seem to work just as well...but it don't include online dating. If you are still seeing him or whatever, whats the problem?

WHAT EVER HAPPENED.... TO THE GOOD OLE DAYS? Posted: 8/26/2007 6:57:57 PM
Courting, going steady, hanging out, dating, group dating.... what happened to those days. Even those my age are looking for quickies. Is that all its come to is how many you can screw? Ladies and Gentlemen, what have we evolved into? We're more and more like our kids (that is if your kids are over 20) than we even care to admit. There's more to life and love than an instant feel good. Flowers, chocolates, opening of doors, taking your hand when getting out of a car or chair. That's what I'm talking about. Old fashioned, I don't think so. Proper and charming definitely is the cream of the crop!

Talking to a lot of people, I think that´s the problem... Posted: 8/24/2007 8:47:14 PM
Talking with a number of people at the same time, in my opinion, is the best. You're not limiting yourself or excluding yourself from getting to know all the great people that reside either within your own city, state, country and world. Besides, how many friends can one have? Here, it can be limitless. I happen to agree with OOOfirefighter or message 9. He knows and says what he knows well (unlike me ). I feel as though one shouldn't rely on these types of sites or online all together as being their fool proof option for . Someone can write whatever, , but once you meet face to face, sometimes things don't necessarily click like it did online. Come on lets face it, we all get lonely, why not keep our eyes opened and look around!
