Help!! I've been corrupted.... Posted: 7/3/2006 10:58:13 AM
please So I was taking some pictures this a.m. and suddenly my camera stopped working and I couldn't see any of my photos... except the 2 I had taken I can still takes photos but I can't get any onto the disk...they only store in the camera memory. I took the 512mg disk out and tried to upload onto my computer and I get the following message: File unaccessible/unreadable or may be corrupted. I didn't do anything differently than I've done in the past....any camera gurus know what could have gone wrong and how might I fix it? Thanks a bunch. Wildly

A good deed Posted: 2/26/2006 12:24:55 PM
Last Spring, on the highway, in the middle of nowhere between Courtenay and Campbell River, I came upon a dog, running, scared, alone. I stopped my truck, got out, opened the hatch and called him over. He jumped in, he was cold, wet and I had no idea how long he'd been out there. He was whining and crying but I kept talking to him and after a while he quieted down. I told him he was going to be ok...I'd make everything right. I contacted the local SPCA's and told them I had the dog, gave a description, etc and left my telephone number. It was early in the morning so before going about my work day I stopped at a local store and bought him a leash, collar, food, some treats, a dish, and a towel to dry him. I named him Freeway and he spent the day with me. Went back to my hotel in Nanaimo that night and changed rooms so I could keep the dog with me. The next day I'm back up island working and my phone rings. It's a woman saying she had lost her dog, she described it to me but sadly the one I had was not hers. Later that day, I'm on my way to Port Alberni and my phone rings again. Another woman asking about the dog. I asked her to describe him to me. She gave a description, rather generic and then I asked her if there was anything else she could tell me about him. She described a scar on the inside of his hind leg. I was silent for a moment and then I said "I have your dog". She started to cry, telling me how her husband was frantic, he'd been driving up and down the highway the past couple of days, searching everywhere for his beloved "Hunter". Friends, neighbours, everyone was looking. I got her address and told her I was going to bring Hunter home. So back to Campell River I went. As I approached their driveway, I could see a couple standing way up at the top of it....I turned in and they started walking toward me..we met halfway. I got out and opened the hatch...Hunter jumped out....Dad started crying, Mom was crying and what could I do? I started too...it felt soooo good to see an animal loved so much. We were all hugging and they were trying to push money into my hand. I refused it and told them seeing how much they loved Hunter was payment enough for me. Hunter died of cancer January 24th, 2006 at 11:10 p.m. surrounded by the ones who loved him the most, his family.

Are you going to vote? Posted: 1/16/2006 7:13:30 PM
apparently they do track the amount of people that refuse their ballot. I wonder how many people are aware of that...I wasn't...and if enough people refuse their ballot...what would happen? It's good to know we have that option because as far as I'm concerned there isn't even a lesser of 2 evils to vote for this time around.

He absolutely can't...not if he is moving the other direction. That never holds up in court Ahhhh think again dahlin'...I got a $175.00 fine by a cop going the opposite direction on the highway. I saw him (too late)...said a few swear words to myself...he did a u turn and came roaring after me. So I pulled over and he came strutting up to my vehicle only to inform me he clocked me at 130 km (and I was doing that)....and proceeded to give me his "speech" about speeding (on an empty freakin' highway I might add) as he wrote me out the ticket. And all I was trying to do was reunite a dog I'd found the day before running scared on the highway in the middle of nowhere with its' owner. (And I was successful btw...THAT was an awesome feeling) but the ticket felt crappy or if this is another one of your joke posts...please ignore above statement...

To answer your question with reference to the used car...I bought and got, what I wanted And if I'm shallow....then you are as well....everyone has preferences...you included. I won't even bother with a retort to your last comment as it's clearly your way at lashing out at someone who's touched on an obviously sensitive issue for you.

We're all the same height when we're horizontal so like who gives a shit? Is this thread about people that are worried that a person is taller or shorter, like are you worried what others think?........how ***ing shallow can you get! Actually...I think some people do give a sht because your entire life is not spent in the horizontal position. This thread has nothing to do with being worried about someone's height or what others may think. It's more about whether or not it's intentional misrepresentation or true unawareness because yes, some people have a height preference...just like some people have a body type preference...or a hair colour preference...or an ethnicity preference...which doesn't mean that anyone not meeting those preferences is excluded from the game, it's just a preference. Try reading the entire thread....no need to be so testy...geeeze

^^^I can't comment on that because I've never felt one...but I still think the fact that he feels it should be a requisite posting on a profile is being ridiculous. While we're on the subject of body part type/shape preferences....women have preferences as well when it comes to certain parts of a mans' anatomy...how about we add that to the list of profile posting requirements for men??

Honesty always pays though, because if you plan on meeting anyone face to face, adding inches or trimming weight on the profile is not gonna create a good first impression. Nuff said....I don't understand why people just don't portray themselves as they are. It's not like when you finally meet in person, the other party is going to say "Oh it's ok that you're 10 years older and 30 pounds heavier than your profile states...I want to get to know you anyway"....I'm thinking NOT...you've misrepresented yourself...what else have you been dishonest about?....ahhhh...buh bye... In the words of Dr. Seuss....be who you are and say what you feel..because those who mind...don't matter...and those who matter.....don't mind.

last time i was measured i was 6' 2" but I put 6' 1" just to be on the safe side i also usually put that i weigh more.Is this lying or just being safe. Safe side of what?...that's misrepresentation anyway you look at it. If you're 6' 2" put that down. If you're average in weight don't say you weigh a "few extra pounds", say you're average. [And women should put on their profile whether or not their breasts are real. I despise breast implants.] Doesn't look like we're going to get away from that one so.........in response I say..... That is an absurd request....but, if you want to stay on the safe side of that one.....look for a woman who is literally "flat-chested".....that way you'll be assured of getting the real deal....because implants, just like real breasts, come in all sizes from small to ridiculously large.....

And women should put on their profile whether or not their breasts are real. I despise breast implants.They feel so weird.I much prefer smaller real tits to big fake ones.Although I like big real tits too, so long as they're not too big. better yet Mike, outlaw Wonderbras, gel or water bras, and anything else that "lifts and separates". stoopid false advertizing... Let's try to stay focused shall we please gentlemen? To refresh your memory...the topic of this thread is mens' height and whether or not they intentionally misrepresent it or honestly think they are taller than they are.... Perhaps the size of womens' breasts and whether or not they are real and what type of lingerie a woman chooses to wear should be the topic of a new thread....I'll bet that would make for some interesting dialogue...

Lil nitpic here. I was 6'3" at age 16 and am now just over 6'2" at 35. Well maybe at 16 your Mom kept smacking you upside your head (from atop a small chair of course) and telling you to stand tall and quit slouching...now that Mom isn't around you can slouch all you want...thus the "shrinkage in height"....

That's true, but with guys it may be thery where say 5'10" .....10 years ago, but molson muscle pulls on the old spine so now they are 5'8" in reality. Well, unfortunately, what you speak of happens in the "aged", men and women alike....that doesn't fly for guys in their 20's, 30's or even 40's for that matter.... People typically lose about 1 cm (0.4 inches) every 10 years after age 40. Height loss is even greater after 70 years old. In total, you may lose 1 to 3 inches in height as you age.

Bottom line...men don't know what height and weight numbers mean. It's really something they have to see in person to completely understand...and after all...they are visual creatures. Very true Kwerkie. You are right in that guys don't get the height/weight thing at all. You could be 6' 195lb, a size 20 (for arguments sake) and shaped like a beach ball, or 6' 195lb (a size 16) and shaped like an hour glass...just like a man could be 6'2" 220lbs and buff or 6'2" 220lbs and look like he's 8 months pregnant....men sometimes forget about body composition and the "lean to fat" ratio.... And Drax...you are right as well when it comes to how people perceive themselves...what is "average" to one...is not necessarily "average" to another...but height is something that cannot be perceived as anything other than what it is....I mean you're either 5'10" or you're not...it's not subjective....

A man can tell you to the foot how long your fence is, he can pick a 2" nail out of hundreds of different sized ones, he can tell you how many yards it took to score a touchdown, he knows to the centimetre how big the fish was he caught, but he can't get his own height right. Profile says 5'10". I'm 5'6" (it's been measured), so if I put on 2" heels (also measured) that makes me 5'8", so I'm thinking that's good..he's still taller than I am. Why is it then when we meet, I'm looking him straight in the eye? So I did a little investigating. I asked male friends and family how tall they were, then actually measured them....guess what?...just about all of them said they were taller than they actually are....interesting hmmm? Call me shallow...but I like a man that's a few inches taller than I am...so I find it slightly irritating when you chat with someone, decide to meet and he's not as he presented himself in his profile. Now do you think it's intentional misrepresentation or simply unawareness of the true measure of an inch?

Chivalry is dead and ...... Posted: 12/26/2005 5:49:51 PM
Um, history books? is that where you're getting your information? I think more like fairy tale books and your imagination!! I think if you check your history books you'll find these values weren't actually idealized by ACTUAL REAL knights, but rather the MAKE BELIEVE knights in fantasy stories. Fact is, you're not under a spell that has you sleeping for years, and nobody's going to wake you with a kiss. You're not held captive in a tower, and there are no frogs that turn to princes. Get over it. Maybe you should try doing a bit of research yourself smarty pants...you DON'T know everything....Messiah or not If by chivalry and romance, you mean respect, courtesy, generosity, adventure, sensitivity, and I intend to keep up that tradition I take it this is your display of respect, courtesy and sensitivity...good job....keep it up...bet your grandparents would be proud. Just because someone believes in a "knight in shining armour" doesn't mean he's a prince and she's sleeping beauty...it's obviously not the fairy tale...it's the idea of finding that "one perfect for you" person who displays respect, courtesy, generosity, etc. etc. toward you that people fall in love with and hope to one day find....nothing wrong with having dreams

no where in thier it says I have to pick up the tab though Hmm....it doesn't say that directly but that would likely fall under the "do nothing to displease ladies or maidens" category. If you asked and/or expected her to pick up the tab...I think that would displease her.....and again, it goes back to the principles and honour thing.... You pick up the tab...she's appreciative and acknowledges your generosity...and if she doesn't..perhaps she's not worthy of you...

The “age of chivalry” is dead, and good riddance. Check your history books....The "age of chivalry" had nothing to do with beating women and children and/or treating them like subhuman entities. Chivalry is the exact opposite of what you describe. As a matter of fact, 13th Century conventions of chivalry directed that men should honor, serve, and do nothing to displease ladies and maidens. Just a few of The Code of Chivalry Ethics are provided for you below: Respect women. Defend the weak and innocent. Exhibit manners. Be polite and attentive. Be respectful of host, women, and honor. Chivalry is not dead, there are still some men who practice it and I thank Gawd for that. I don't take well to beatings.....and when I've got an opinion...I voice it.....and the chivalrous men may not agree, but they respect it......that's my 3 cents worth.

I think women should acknowledge and appreciate those extra little things a man does. A quick hug, or a kiss on the cheek or hey, here's a thought, even a simple "thank you" would probably suffice. Men want to make women happy...and when they can do that, and she acknowledges it....he is the "king" and life is good.....

Guys can relate to this .....How many women do you know that have said "Oh I don't need any money for the bar ,I will just get some guy to buy me drinks!" You know X...I'm wondering if it makes a difference which "generation" you are from? Back in "my" day, we all worked, we all made our own money and we all spent it to party. If a guy did send us a drink or bought us one we reciprocated in kind and there were even times when we'd send a guy a drink if we thought he was hot. I think things are just different today.......we've become a very "me" oriented society as a whole...maybe women more so than men.... I've heard it time and time again from men of all ages that "younger" women these days seem to care more about how much money you make or what kind of car you drive or what you can do for them rather than about who you are because it's "all about them". Maybe that's why they have the mentality you mention above. Please ladies, this is just a generalization and I'm NOT suggesting any of those things are true, I'm just the messenger so please don't shoot me.

^^^^^I agree with you there JaYnEy....when a man takes that extra little step it is noted and most definitely appreciated, just seems to happen less and less these days. Although courtesy is a two way street...I don't know how many times I've held the door open for someone or allowed them to go ahead of me and I don't even get a thank you....what's up with that?

my dear X, Chivalry is defined as: The qualities idealized by knighthood, such as bravery, courtesy, honor, and gallantry toward women. Qualities, I have to sadly admit, which are lacking in many of our men today. Chivalry has nothing to do with who's wallet comes out but if you want my 2 cents for what it's worth, on that subject, here you go: If I am meeting someone for the first time I generally try to make it a coffee date or a walk or something that you can be in and out of in an hour if the "chemical reaction" isn't there. I endeavour to arrive before them and either already have my beverage or if we get there at the same time I take my money out first. More often than not I get told to put my money away and asked if I'd like anything else but I'm more than happy to pay if he doesn't say anything. Now, if a man ASKS me out to dinner or for drinks then I would expect that he has every intention of paying and I graciously allow him to do so. After the first couple of dates, we might start out with dinner at one location (which he pays for), then we move to another location for drinks (which I offer to pick up the tab for). I try to "even" things out as I don't think it's fair that the man always pays (unless, of course, he insists, and believe me, some do). But I think in general, most men like to be "taken out" sometimes too. As the dates progress into a OMG THE 'R' WORD, relationship, the dynamics of "who pays for what" takes yet another turn...but that's for another thread...

Cougars and Milfs whats the difference? Posted: 12/16/2005 8:19:06 PM
ok...here it is...the low down... "Slang terms A number of slang terms exist to describe pairings in which one individual is much older than the other: May-December romance is a general and non-prejudicial expression for an age-disparate relationship. The expression draws an implicit analogy between one's lifetime and the time of year. Thus "May" refers to the younger partner, who is in the spring of his or her life. "December" is the elder partner, in the winter of his or her life. Sugar daddy refers to an older man who offers money or gifts to a younger person in return for companionship or sexual favours. The term is now sometimes used for rich men that are not necessarily much older than the partner. This term is also slang for a pimp. Cougars are older women who are attracted to young men; use of this terminology is considered by some to be impolite. Mrs. Robinson refers to an older woman, often of anywhere up to middle age, who has a relationship with a much younger man. The term is taken from the film The Graduate. Toyboy or Boytoy refers to the younger man in a relationship with an older woman or man. Tadpoling refers to a relationship between a younger man and an older woman. A notable example is Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore whose public relationship seems to have started the use of this slang term. See also the movie Tadpole. MILF (Mother I'd Like to ****) refers to mothers who attract the sexual attention of high-school men. " Does that help clarify things?

And I realize I went off on a bit of a tangent but you would be surprised at the number of people out there who spout off at the mouth but don't follow through with actions. All I was saying really was put your money and/or your time where your mouth is.

All I'm saying is.. before you knee-jerk your wallet open, think about where that charity dollar could be going. First of all, no one is asking anyone to knee-jerk their wallet open and no one is asking anyone to boycott China. We are simply stating our revulsion at this inhumane practice. Secondly, anyone with a shred of compassion in their being would be horrified by the torture these animals and it's not just cats, (WHY DON'T YOU DO SOME RESEARCH????) have to endure. These animals are literally skinned alive, you can't get much more barbaric than that. They are not being eaten because these poor, desperate, people are starving and have no alternative. Their furs are being sold for profit and their still live carcasses are heaped up in piles while they die an agonizingly slow and painful death!! It's disgusting and the manner in which this senseless slaughter is orchestrated is abhorrent. PETA is not the only animal rights organization out there. I suggest you do some more research on that topic before blasting those of us who voice our opinions about world issues, and yes, this is a world issue. I personally feel PETA is a little too extremist for my tastes. I prefer the philosophies and practices of WSPA and am currently determining whether it is viable to open an office here on the westcoast as it's clear there are SOME people who need to be enlightened. Lastly, for the grown up in the forum, I'd like to know what you are doing to try to solve some of the "real" problems our world is facing as cruelty and inhumane practices, apparently aren't one. Do you volunteer your time or services or funds to local charities? Do you help your neighbour when they are down and out? Do you open your wallet to sponsor children in third world countries? Did you offer assistance when the Tsunami hit last Christmas? Did you offer assistance when the hurricanes hit the USA and Central America this year? What are you doing to stop the war? Have you done ANYTHING to try to make a difference, no matter how small or insignificant it might seem or are you simply too busy to take time out from reading all the mail you receive since demonstrating how talented you are to be able to lick your own balls....oops...I mean ball......

Who cares what happens to animals in CHINA. It also makes me feel all of the same emotions I stated in my original statement when I have to accept the reality that people who feel like this exist. I CARE about animals AND people who are treated in such a barbaric, unethical, horrific, appalling manner and anyone with even an inkling of compassion would feel the same way. It's individuals with the "WHO CARES" attitude that have put our world in the disgusting state it's in today but that's a whole new forum. Please note this is not an attack aimed at any one specific individual, just my personal feelings about that kind of an attitude.

I was sickened, appalled, disgusted, horrified, saddened, angered, incensed, infuriated, by what I saw. China's wanton disregard for helpless cats and dogs. Stuffing cages 4' x 4' x 1' high full of defenseless cats and dogs. Piling these cages 20 high on trucks. Delivering these animals (many of them obviously someone's stolen pet as they still had collars around their necks) to factories where they literally throw the cage off of the truck, breaking animals bones in the fall only to remove the animals by clamping them around the neck, smashing them over the head with a stick or grabbing them by their hind legs and smashing their head onto the ground so they can skin them and more often than not the animal is STILL ALIVE, yes ALIVE. I SAW THE VIDEOS!!! The furs are then exported to countries all over the world. This is happening not only to cats and dogs but to raccoons and other wildlife as well. I am sooooo angry!!! and upset This practice has to be stopped IMMEDIATELY!! Does anyone feel as I do? If you do PM me...we need to talk.

Wildly, were you a non-paid member? I was, but that's not the point...the member contacting me was a paid member...no different than a lot of the sites out there. Member status aside, it should not matter to anyone other than the person sending the mail and the person receiving it what the content is. Last time I heard, reading mail not intended for you and on top of that changing the contents before allowing the intended recipient to receive it is against the law. And why did the emails I sent to the legal department at match.com get returned to me as "undeliverable"??? Clearly something shady going on.

I believe it....I had an ad on match.com awhile ago...took it off because they were censoring mail between me and other match.com customers. This was determined by the fact that the paying members that contacted me would send a message with their contact information and match.com would edit the contact information to say "joesmith@talkmatch.com" or something of that nature instead of what the person really wrote i.e. "joesmith@hotmail.com". I figured something was "not quite right" when I tried to send a couple of messages to their legal department asking if they were allowed to do that type of thing only to have the emails returned as undeliverable. I kept those emails. Needless to say, I removed my profile from that site and have not used it since. POF ROCKS!!
