Senate proves Bush lied us into war. Posted: 6/20/2008 10:57:58 AM
Here is my two cents worth on this: Lying to the american people, including soliders doing the dirty work / foot work , is the american way... to expect a government that tells the truth is being very niave ... I was raised in political and civil service family ... I have been privy to certain information over the years that has not been common knowledge... I do not support the war we find this country in (thank you BUSH) nor do I support those that do support it ... whether it be the soliders or the moneymen behind the decisions that have been made ... fighting for my freedom ... I don't think so, they don't even know me ... they do not know what I support or when I may support it ... Yes, I believe that Bush along with the others should be held accountable ... to include prision time and possible death ... I do not think that he looses any sleep at night over what he has done, I do not beleive he has a soul ... January 20, 2009 will not come soon enough for me ...

Ever date someone with BPD? (Borderline Personality Disorder) Posted: 6/13/2008 10:29:11 AM
My ex-husband was diagnosed with BPD, a perdominately woman's disorder. The highs and lows eventaully became unbearable. One day I was the best thing that ever happened to him, the next day I was a **** that was out to get him .... He would never stay on his prescribed medication. Unfortunately I did not know of his disorder until after we were married, he kept it from me ... You have to be a strong person to deal with this in extreme cases I think ... alas I was not strong enough so it seems ...

What does my children come first mean to you? Posted: 6/6/2008 11:58:16 AM
My children, three all over eighteen, one still at home, do come first. I want to spend time with them, I want to share experiences with them, I want to hang out, goof off, watch movies, go climbing with them... they are my children after all, and really cool, loving, intelligent beings also ... I have a giant capacity for love ... I have enough love to share with all of the people in my life ... Seems to me that loving your children does not equate to loving someone else less ... those that may think that may also see the glass of life as half empty instead of half full .... Just my thoughts here ...

Friends with Exes - Is It Really Such A Bad Thing? Posted: 6/2/2008 1:17:48 PM
I am friends with both ex husbands and both men I've dated. Ex Husband number one and I share children. We love eachother, but will never be "in love" with eachother again. we still vacation/ camp/ go to festivals and shows together with our children, his current live in lady and her children ... Ex Husband number two , the same, he and I remain good friends. He has been to my home with his current girlfriend... we're all very cool with it. Both the men I have dated and I are still friends. Flew last year to San Fran to spend four days visiting with the first man I ever loved ... yes we are still great buddies. I see nothing wrong with being friends. The way I look at it is that these men have touched my life in different ways, at one time I loved them enough to allow them to be a part of my life, and to become a part of theirs, just because we are not married or sharing a home/bed why would liking them change. I guess it all depends if someone is mature enough and secure enough to love someone despite a relationship ending, and continue wanting to be close .... and hoping to be able to share if their life's happiness ! Of course, I am limited in my experience. Only five men in my entire life ... Peace to all

SWEETEST MOST ROMANTIC THING HES/SHES EVER DONE Posted: 5/19/2008 11:00:05 AM
We were living in the North Carolina mountains, and after being very sick , unable to do our normal hiking through the forest, and having to take several weeks off, he went into the forest and dug up and transplanted flame azaela plants all around our house, in a effort to cheer me and bring a smile to my face. He brought them to me as I couldn't go to them. Very, very sweet of him to do !

Talking about sex before even meeting Posted: 5/15/2008 2:49:05 PM
I think it is natural ... when I have been spaeking with some one for months ... talk of sex and likes/dislikes can be both beneficial and telling to me... have just bee n through this also ... it can be a good thing I have no problem with it. Having said that, I do not want a man to be crude or gross either... in a straigh forward sensible manner ... well thats okay. I am a very up-front person and very vocal ! Peace to all

Remember when you were a man???? Posted: 4/29/2008 8:01:46 AM
Call me old fashioned , but I EXPECT a man/gentleman to open my door.. entering a house, car, restaurant etc... it is a show of respect to me, nothing else. For the men on here that have responded that they do open doors, good for you, and "thank you" in case no one else has Peace to all ...

Must not do drugs....? Posted: 4/11/2008 1:46:47 PM
ChemistryNkisses ... You must be 420 friendly ... Love your posts on this subject ... was laughing out loud reading some of them. Sadly however, I was also just left shaking my head at the level of ignorance on this topic and the lack of people being "cool" in general. All you uptight people need to give it a rest ... really ... judge not least you be judged Peace to all ...

The Code of Love in Modern Society Posted: 4/10/2008 2:27:47 PM
I believe that part of the problem is that people may get into releationships thinking "What can I get out of this" when one should be thinking "What can I give to this". .. People tend to be selfish in our gratificational reward society. Love is all about being not selfish by definition. Peace to all

Firearms and Dating Posted: 4/10/2008 2:23:51 PM
Okay ... here's my question ... how many of you have been the victim of a violent crime by someone carrying a gun ? I have, and my sister was murdered by a gun carrying psycho... need I say more ... One of the first questions, once beyond initial chatter with a man, is do they own weapons, specifically guns ... this type of person is not for me, not saying they are not nice, normal men, we just do not share the same thought process on that issue. Lastly, in regards to our Second Amendment and "our right to bear arms" it clearly is in reference to a "will regulated militia" which in those times were "the people". We did not have the police and sheriff departments , FBI, DEA, NSA, NSSS etc as we do now. I am not part of a well regulated militia so I do not have a right to bear arms. Just my thoughts here ... Peace to all

cooking rice Posted: 4/10/2008 2:03:21 PM
Who needs another useless kitchen appliance ? I use the stove top method also. Trick with rice to get it perfect, I think, is once you reduce to simmer from boil and put on the lid, do not keep taking the lid off to check it. Twenty to twenty five minutes will do the trick. The steam inside the pan helps cood and keep it moist. Leave on the lid for perfect rice everytime ! Peace all ...

Showing a form of identification Posted: 3/21/2008 2:10:43 PM
KennethJ I like your response, from a male point of view. Yes, we as women, have to feel safe and need to be safe . But, I have always been careful when meeting people who are friends of friends for the first time also. I do not think it merely applies to men I meet through POF ... Our gut speaks to us at times, and we need to learn to listen to our own inner voices. Safety first, if a man is truly a nice gentleman, he understands our concerns in this day and age and it should not be a big deal ... and if he has nothing to hide then small requests should not be an issue !

Number of Contenders Posted: 3/13/2008 2:40:27 PM
I can only deal with giving one man my attention and energy at a time. I don't think I have ever been 2nd fiddle so I can't relate to that, however, I would not be second or third choice. If I am not interesting enough to a man to be his first choice, then there is nothing there for me. I refuse to settle for anything less than the best...

Help from my fellow singles Posted: 3/10/2008 8:00:24 AM
I love to do wraps. I saute fresh veggies , onions, garlic, brocoilli, asparagus, carrots, red potatoes ... really whatever fresh veggies I have on hand, and sea salt, pepper, adobo, and some fresh basil and/or rosemary then toss a flour (any flavor) tortilla in the pan to warm, a little melted cheese, fill and presto ... dinner You can chop some tomatoes and fresh spinach a little avacodo and maybe some sprouts added ... This works for one - ten people, just adjust amounts of veggies Also, you can do fish or shrimp ... I also do safron rice to put in other times. This allows for you to be very creative, and to also vary this receipe with the ingredients.. Enjoy !

Distance need not be an obstacle. Posted: 2/14/2008 7:48:43 AM
I too met a wonderful man last September on this site. He lives in Virginia, five hours from my location. He contacted me initially and let me know that the distance thing was not an issue. We began sending emails, progressed to telephone calls and finally meeting in person. He too is exactly what he seemed to be. The distance between us has not kept us from pursuing a relationship, if anything it makes it more special when we do spend time or share long, deep conversations. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder ... and at this stage in my life having a wonderful man that isn't in my face 24/7 is a blessing in many ways... I would encourage anyone to branch out and not just look within thirty minutes of your home base. There are real and wonderful men and women out there beyond your scope or site ... don't discount them for the city, state or country they live in ! Happy Valentine's Day to all ... Peace and Blessings

ex-relationship discussions - why taboo? Posted: 1/7/2008 11:44:56 AM
Wow ... Both of my ex husbands are part of my life. I work with ex-husband number one on a daily basis. We get along great... we have children together ... we love eachother but will never again be in love with eachother.Ex-husband number two and I get together every month and hang out. All of my experiences have made me who I am today... for good or bad. To not talk about it as if it never happened seems kinda strange to me... If you ask, I will honestly tell you, but do not ask unless you can handle the answer. I do not sugarcoat anything for anyone... The wonderful man I am seeing now, is fully aware that my ex's are in my life, and will continue to be in my life ... HE has to deal with this ... or not ... he has to decide if he can be strong enough to handle this and smart enough to realize that it is over with me and them, but that I am just one of those people who remains very friendly with the ex's. I have been with four men in my life, and they are all still my friends and we talk, we visit , we hang out ... thats life ... lets all grow up please ! To ignore it seems pointless ... lets stop playing games and be honest about everything ... up front and put ourselves out there in a real way

Must not do drugs....? Posted: 10/11/2007 10:36:39 AM
Thanks for the post Nebula Alcohol is a drug.... ANY substance that is mind or mood altering is a drug... (and please don't lets get into coffee and sugar) we are talking "drugs" . Don't believe me check out what addiction professionals world wide say, The NA Basic Text, etc... So how many of you drink alcohol... do you also click the "you don't do drugs " on your profile box ? The bottom line is choice. If I choose to burn one down thats okay with me. If you choose to burn one down or throw one back , thats okay with me too. As long as you are not hurting anyone else, yourself included, then I do not have a problem with it. Abuse is an entirely different state of reality and state of being.

so is it so terrible to call a guy pretty???John52758 Posted: 10/8/2007 2:09:54 PM
My ex-husband is a bauutiful man... not pretty, not good looking, not hot... plain old beautiful. He has heard it all of his life, and according to him (I just called to ask him this) it doesn't bother him. He feels that people see beauty as they see it. He says it never bothered him when I referred to him as "beautiful" . I guess some men are not threatened or bothered by this type of comment. I just call them as I see them !

Where did you meet your SO, or ex? Posted: 9/24/2007 11:33:04 AM
Met my ex when he was playing guitar at a local brewery here in town. It was a total fluke as I was there only doing a favor for a friend trying to pass along a message to someone else, and this beautiful man walked up to me and starting chatting me up ! We stayed together for six years ... alas it did not last !

MEAT EATER Vs VEGETARIAN Posted: 9/19/2007 2:29:54 PM
As a vegetarian, and a human, I do not push my views or thoughts on anyone else. My first husband was a meat eater, we worked out it though. All I can ask for in a date is to not ask me to try your steak, and to pick a place for dinner that has a variety of things. Vegetarians will eat cheese/dairy product and vegans will not. Big difference between the two. I was vegan for numerous years, but health issues have put me back to being just a vegetarian. I do eat renentless chese products though !

How long should a girl wait? Posted: 9/12/2007 1:55:55 PM
I do not know where any of you people went to school, but if you add up the numbers in Annie's post, he was thrity (30) minutes late ! I believe that people should be on time, or at least arrive when they schedule ... just a little thing called "manners". Ten or fifteen minutes, would not bother me, but a first date and thirty minutes late...well shame on him ! Puncuality is just a pet peeve of mine

why do men lie about their age? Posted: 9/11/2007 11:31:27 AM
I met someone from this site, who , I found out later in the day, lied about his age, which he was actually about a decade older than me. It's not that I have anything against older men, but the fact that he lied was what put me off. I still don't think that he caught on that he let slip the "real" year he was born ... oh well... a "lie" is still a "lie" to me, regardless of what it is about. I am not ashamed of my age, and don't want to be around any "liars" either, which it clearly states in my profile ! Oh, and I think Tossed Salad is a "cutie" too !!!!

Anyone miss sex with their ex? Posted: 9/6/2007 1:18:03 PM
I do miss the sex with my ex. He was completely uninhibited and thus it freed me to be the same. That is a unique quality and haven't come across that yet again.

Organic foods Posted: 8/31/2007 2:46:55 PM
I am a vegetarian so I try to always eat organic. It is a healthier alternative to foods that are massed produced or engineered. The cost has gone up over the years. A good place to look is at local farmers markets. If you go to whole or organic food stores, or even Harris Teeters, the cost is high. It is healthier as it is grown pesticide free, and who wants to eat those nasty pesticides anyway ...

What if your date told you that he/she was a convicted fellon... Posted: 8/17/2007 11:06:39 AM
I agree with Broken Soul above. People make mistakes, bad decisions and sometimes use bad judgment. That doesn't mean they are bad people. Most of us have something in our past that we would undo if we could. Why should this be any different ?

Would you date any of your Ex's again? Posted: 8/2/2007 1:32:09 PM
I would not date my most recent ex. He is way too complicated for me to be in a relationship again with. As for my first ex, well we currently work together everyday, and do family vacations together (we have children together)... but as far as dating... no .. it's all in the past. There is a reason they are in my past. I look forward to new dates and relationships
