Sex is sex and we no longer need to give or receive affection? What has happened to our age group? Posted: 11/22/2009 2:26:36 PM
Personally,,,I have found that I that my need for that "human touch" is greater today than before. Probably has something to do with the lack of it in the days gone by?????? I do agree with the OP that "some" our age are losing the need(or would that be,,,,"burying" that need???) for the "true" affection of another. Giving,,,and even,,in part,,,receiving "affection",,,,requires part of our heart. At least I find that with "true" affection. It requires emotion,feelings,,,and giving part of yourself "up" to another. After awhile,,,some just don't have much left to give?????

What constitutes a Work of Art? Posted: 11/22/2009 7:42:49 AM
now matter how inspiring anything form nature is isn't art to me. Art i feel must be a act of a person because it is an act of communication. I would have to disagree with art being an "act" of a person alone. If you listen and watch very,very carefully,,,,nature is telling us something (usually very important) with it's "art". Take the thunder and lightning storm that quickly formed and showed up on us the other evening. Thou intriguing, visually inspiring,etc,,,,,those types of storms should not be happening here in this area with much regularity, yet we are seeing them more and more. Somebody is trying to tell us something. Now,,,trying to get the "viewer" to understand what nature is telling them is a completely different story. This is the part when "thinking" becomes part of the process.

The wind is freaking me out....... Posted: 11/20/2009 5:05:18 AM
This morning I have officially decided that this wind, this rain, this weather, this month,,,,,sucks. Big time. I let some of my jobs start yesterday morning believing the weather report that the "heavy" rains wouldn't start until noon hour or after. Well, she started way earlier than they said,,,,and some of us ended up looking like drowned rats by evening. Did I mention I don't like this weather very much????? Now,,,back to my phone calls cause I'm not having another day like yesterday.

I think I just want to feel alive again, Being a parent is not easy. Being a single parent,,,,just a tad tougher,,,,but you still are her Mommy,,,,no matter what is going on in your life. Just a suggestion,,,,but whenever you want to "feel alive again",,,,,watch your child playing for a moment and think of her future with YOU. Then walk over and give her the biggest hug you can give. Promise that what you get back will make you feel like you are walking on clouds. In 20 years it will come back tenfold....... Honest.

Okies,,,here we go. First,,,,get divorced. Then learn to live with YOURSELF(bring your children along for the ride). Don't involve ANYONE,,,unless it's for sex,,like a one night stand,,,,seriously. If you can't live with yourself and your children for a large period of time,,,you will never,ever, have a succesful relationship with another. Jumping into something,,,before you have even learnt from your past is a major mistake. You asking the questions you have proves that you haven't learnt a thing yet. Why,,,I must ask,,,are you even THINKING about another relationship,,,ALREADY????? You've got more than enough time,,,,more than enough,looking at your age. Do NOT expect someone else to make you happy. If YOU can't do it,,,no one can. Another,,,,,seriously.

The Art of Discourse Posted: 11/18/2009 5:56:33 PM
Whats your favouite approach? I'm not bias,,,,I LOVE them all!!!! Like rock said,,,it's all relative to whom I'm talking(arguing) with,,and about what. There are times to kiss a $ $ and there are times to kick it,,,,and I use everything in between. It's not that I like confrontation,,,but there are very few times I turn my back on it. All I need is one itsy bitsy teeny weeny,,,,,,,reason. There are times when best to save yourself the trouble thou. It's like competing against an opponent. Not much fun beating up on a cement head in an argument/discussion,,,just as it isn't much fun winning against a weak opponent. There are examples here(in some of the forum topics) where ya know your just wasting time with some. The ones I enjoy debating/discussing/whatever, are the ones that are able to listen and comprehend. They usually are smart enough to give as much as they take,,,,which I love. Just makes me a tad brighter in the end.

What constitutes a Work of Art? Posted: 11/17/2009 5:57:23 PM
When i was a dreaming of being an artist i was trying to create art that would move people then realized the art the sells is the stuff that people wanted in there living rooms. Then i started painting thing that would look good in peoples living rooms and found my self loosing interest. He's getting close to what it should be. Art is relative to the person trying to express, an emotion, a feeling,,,a vision,,,a thought. As soon as you try to start to appeal to the masses (getting your works sold),,,you fail as an artist. Well, a "true" artist. Now,,,if your works actually appeals to those masses along with satisfying your needs (as an artist) it's a bonus!!!!! Art is what THE artist decides to make,build to express whatever he/she is trying to. Sometimes,,,,,it's just to make the viewer/reader THINK. And we all know that really can't be a bad thing. Okay, okay,,,,some of us know that.

Work Abroad Programs Posted: 11/17/2009 5:02:01 AM
You'll have a tough time using your "safety management" as a "in" when looking abroad. The new thing nowadays is "safety" and "enviromental" monitors/managers/consultants,,,as in,,,there are a lot in the field. The other problem with going somewhere else for the "safety" thingy is that not all countries/large projects follow the same procedures/practises. You may have a shot with Canadian/North American Companies that have projects in other countries working on mega projects,,,,start with looking thru them????

I always have lived by the "Golden Rule" and assumed that the majority out there would agree and live by it also. What I have found,,,,,I assumed wrongly, which again proves another thing. I can be wrong once in awhile. I don't think "humankind" can agree on anything anymore,,,honestly. Just look around and take count of the conflicts out there over silly billy things.

Skunks seem to be making more and more of an appearance,,,especially this year. Cause I get up so early in the a.m. I've been experincing some early morning meetings with these critters. Surprisingly they just woddle away when I surprise them wandering around my ponds in the morns,,,, no spraying,,,,yet!!! But boy there are some pretty big ones that could ease up on their calorie intake. Maybe next year I won't have certain pond plants in the waters for the early morning munching.

Graduate degrees Posted: 11/15/2009 6:45:39 AM
Just a note on the "critical thinking" aspect. Just had my daughter home for a week from a break from university. She's in her second year there,,,first year of nursing. While she was doing some work the other day,,,I noticed a book with the title "Criticial thinking". Picked it up and started glancing thru it, when my daughter noticed my smirk,,,started to laugh,,,and stated,,,"yeah, Daddy. It's something that you taught me before I was outta grade school". We both had a giggle. She's repeating stories to me about her experinces so far at her university. Some great,,,and some down right moronic. Kinda like anything and everything really.(the "real world" as some of us like to call it) She has some great profs whom she says are the most intriguing,open-minded, intelligent(she doesn't care how many letters they have after their name) people she has ever met. These ones are the ones that ask questions, listen to the replies, and let the conversations roll. They learn as much as the students. They have caught her attention and she is enthralled with them. Then there are the others. She calls them morons,,closed minded,arrogant, ignorant and not so smart(still doesn't care how many letters they have behind their name). She's gone to school long enough to know how to handle them,,,how to play the "game"and it drives them crazy because of the "grades" they "have" to give her. (something Traveller touched on)She's learning quite a bit from them,,,but more about the "reality" of the world and the people in it,,,then about her subjects. Again,,,there is that reality thingy. One of her biggest learning "experinces" is just being away from her Mommy and Daddy, in another province, in another living arrangement, dealing with cooking for yourself, dealing with $$$$ or the lack of,lol, booze, date rape, sexual relations, swine flu scare,etc. Ummmm,,,,the "real world". I guess what I am trying to point out,is that we all can learn from what we are given. Doesn't matter if it's in the university you are attending,,,the job you have today,,,the relationships you are dealing with. There are children at her school that are getting their marks,,,and soon their degrees,,,but God help them when they step outta the enviroment they have been in the last 4-7 years. There are others that I have met that have only been there 1-3 years and they can put some adults to shame,,,,,,,today. I'll repeat the degree is all relative to the person whom holds it. And it has very little to do with if and when I date ya.

Why do guys chase after girls that are not available? Posted: 11/14/2009 8:49:26 AM
It would be cheating on my boyfriend and I won't go there. Yet,,,you will continually "go to" the clubs in which men continually hit on you???? And then you have the gonads,,,,(after asking in a public forum) to call the replies a "personal attack"????? Really???? They continually "persist" and yet YOU continually accept dancing with them,,,and YOU continually talk to them. If they are not changing their behavour,,,should YOU not change YOURS???? Here's your answer,,,since you didn't read the previous ones. The guys are trying to get into YOUR PANTS!!!!!! Thank you for reasons #861 that I am single.

but I certainly HAVE seen enough guys with the t shirt that says save a horse ride a cowboy,.. so it can't be THAT bad... Ummmm,,,not wanna burst any bubbles,,,,but THOSE ones are not looking for a dance. Well,,, I guess ya could call it a dance,,,,just not gonna happen in the middle of a bar room dancefloor. And,,,ummmm(yes another ummmmm),,,,these "men" would be the ones that enjoy watching a group a woman dancing together. When in groups,,,,,the weak are pretty easy to pick out. In nature,,,the predators have been doing it for centuries. Can't believe no one has watched Wild Kingdom before.

I find this whole thread tasteless and over all offensive....bad enough men exhibit such shallow and superficial ( and often unrealistic ) desires that spur many women to go to great lengths to alter their bodies and obsess about weight that we are now talking about not just how women are changing ( surgically ) their Vagina's ..... but pages of a thread about who likes what in regards to the intimate parts of our body !?! Obviously you didn't read the all of the replies,,,because just like Knotty^^^^^ pointed out,,,,some of us men are getting a little tired of hearing of being blamed for what YOU,,,,as WOMEN do to your bodies. I said it,,,,PAGES ago,,,yet,,,you repeat the blame game. Unfreaking believable!!!! It wasn't a man that started the thread or even brought up the topic. I betcha most of us men never heard of such a thing until this thread was posted. I gotta ask,,,what is "tasteless" about the thread???? The idea that women are getting it done???? Or the idea that you think it was a male who brought up the idea of this type of change???? Or is it,,,that we are actually talking about it????? Seems it's being done,,,,for reasons unknown to me,,,,I don't own one. But,,,again with Knotty,,,wouldn't complain one bit if I had time shares in one.

That behavior from children shows bad parenting in my opinion. Being mean or rude towards an adult shows this woman isn't raising her children properly. Boy,,,do I have some priests and "uncles" that I can introduce ya to. Do NOT assume a child's thoughts or feelings are something you should ignore. They may know something that you can not see because you are blinded by LUST.

The dumbing down of society and its impact on children and public mindset towards intelligence Posted: 11/11/2009 9:29:45 AM
The teaching of "thinking" is now a lost art. Simple,,,and we as a society,,,want things "easy". Think of the technology that has come about to make things easy,,,,, a GPS unit now for your vehicle,,,so that you don't get lost????? Of course with that, you get people listening to it when it tells them to turn left into a lake. Seriously. And they do it,,,because,,,,well IT told them too!!!! Universities in the States have now admitted they are failing their students,,,feeding them info,,,telling them to repeat,,,and boom,,,they have a degree,,,,,so they can get a job that requires it. Free thinkers,,,,people that question,,,,have been frowned upon in the last 15-20 years by our education systems. I repeat,,,,systems. There are still educators out there that understand the value of the "thinker",,,but because those "educators" are also being taught in universities,,,,these good educators are now become less and less. And so the cycle goes. My daughter was taught from a very young age NEVER to accept anything from anyone,,,,and to question what she feels she needs to,,,,with intelligence and respect of course. Some of her "teachers" had a very hard time with that,,,and I had to ask them why in numerous parent/teacher meetings. Their answer,,,,,"because I'm her teacher". Ummmmmm,,,,,wrong answer!!!! Just like it is wrong for any parent to answer their children with "because I said so". Oh,,,the minority of her teachers loved her,,,,"keeping them on their toes" which in turn made them better teachers,,,and very,very careful of the what they taught as "facts". Our society breeds followers. Our education system is just part of it. Our parenting skills are just as much to blame as anything. Got a problem with whom our young are looking up to????? Then for pete's sake explain to them that bambi on the tube is just that,,,, a bambi. She's there to look good,,,,and that's about it. She is NOT a role model. Teach your children this before they hit the age 10 and you will be better off. The other thing that is now being taught within our systems and society is that "life is fair" and everyone is being treated on the same playing field. It is now reaching into our work force,,,,unions being a major player in such. Well,,,,if ya teach that in elementary school,,,,,,,that's what you're gonna get when they become adults. Keep droppin the bar,,,,and they will lower themselves to your expectations. It's what you/we are asking for,,,,,no??????

Why Do Guys Quit Dancing after 40? Posted: 11/11/2009 8:06:50 AM
I would rather "feel good" and be "retarded" enjoying the evening with good music, the camaraderie of friends, and dancing like no one is watching. Certain men should be less critical / closed minded and try it sometime... Just a sec. The question was why men of a certain age don't dance was it not????? And then an example was put out there of TWO tables of women jumping up and dancing to a song,,,,and yet you,,,as a female STILL wonder why no male is joining in????? I suggested an answer,,,and in response,,,,comments are made that have squat to do with THE problem,,,YOU,,,as FEMALES have with men and their lack of dancing. It's not men with that question,,,it's the females that are questioning. You question,,,but you don't wanna hear the answers?????? Almost "typical",,,,,no????? And yet,,,there those men are,,,,STILL standing in the corner. How DO you ever get them out there on that floor????? There was a group of single women who went out last night. Lots of men were invited by different folks in the group and only one man had the courage to venture out with us Not at all going to suggest you may have AN answer here to the original question in your statement either,,,,if you decide to look deep enough. Nopes,,won't do that at all. I would also not suggest to look up the definition of "courage" either. Nopes,,,never. The entertainment value alone of viewing "groups" doing what they enjoy is enough not to "join" in and ruin the "party",,,,for some. Again,,,,not the ones you want to attract,,,,cause they have something "else" on their minds other than joining the masses. It's all relative to the person,,,and their own set of priorities. Oh,,,the horsey song,,,,still as retarded as the day it was put out. Did make quite a bit of money thou,,,didn't it????? Yeeeeeeee,,,,,hah!!!!! har de har har

. I mean with their mother & father always fighting or yelling. Here's the first thing the you and your hubby should do,,,and in no way am I being rude or personal,,,but,,,,,grow up!!!! You are splitting,,,you both have decided that. Now,,,,if you want to act like children (fighting and yelling) over what,,,,spilt milk ????,,,, then get outta of the house and go fight and yell somewhere your children are not(I don't care how old they are). The two of you are teaching your children(again,,,don't care how old they are) how they should act, if, and when this ever happens to them. No matter what you think,,,you two are still their parents,,,,whom they look up to for direction and guidance. Divorce is a fact of life in today's world,,,,as are many other disapointments in life. React like children in a time of crisis or disapointment,,,and your children will follow when their time comes. React like adults should,,,and they will also follow that lead. Your jobs as parents does not stop because of their age,,,or because you two have decided to part ways. ALWAYS remember this.

The Kids Hate You? Posted: 11/11/2009 6:43:56 AM
As many have said,,,the kids reactions/actions could be for numerous reasons. Your new GF could have a revolving door in the dating department and you are just "another" one in their eyes????? Divorce or split is quite recent???? You are sending vibes that children and animals have a knack of picking up ( oh yes,,,,,this is soooooooo very true,,,,take heed if this is the case). Having children in the mix of dating,,,especially with someone new is something that should NEVER be taken lightly. On one hand,,,the parent,,,does require some form of "adult" time/life. But in saying that,,,,his/her children MUST be some form of priority. They are not adults,,,but their views and opinions must be,,,at the very least,,,considered. Personally,,,I've never had a child "hate" me, no matter who's they are ,,,,so I am at a loss at any suggestions to give you. I do know that you are facing a steep hill to climb if you want anything serious to become of your relationship. Probably best to cut your losses and walk respectively away.

H1N1 vaccine. Are you getting a shot? Posted: 11/10/2009 6:09:37 AM
In BC, of the 15 people that died with lab confirmed H1N1,,,14 had underlying conditions. The other one,,,they haven't figured it out. So all the healthy people that are running to the docs,,,,,you're taking someone else's spot that actually needs it. Think about it. I've heard of quite a few getting shots from their GP because he/she had it,,and they ask for the shot. Ya know,,,just in case,,,or because they are going on a trip soon,,,or they interact with people all day,,,or they,,,well,,,,you can make up any reason/excuse,,,, I guess. From the people that I have talked to that have had it (yes,,with a blood test confirmation) their reaction to it is wide ranging. Just like ANY other flu. Some are lying on thier backs for a week,,,some,,just carry on with a slight cough,,slight fever,,,and feeling like they have,,,,,,get this,,,,the flu!!!! Understandable people are getting really confused on this issue,,,,just try to follow the stories in the media,,,,and believe what you read. Frig,,,ya gotta be a rocket scientist to understand who said what when. Talked to my mother the other day,,,and she didn't run us to the docs in 76,,,and everyone of us kids are here today, NOT running to the docs again.

Using a self-serve checkout at a supermarket. Posted: 11/8/2009 10:09:34 AM
They are not much of a cost savings after I use one that decides to start talking back at me. So far, my record is 3 broken and 2 very flustered store managers after having a one way conversation with a lunatic customer. I'm just waiting to get banned from a grocery store or two now.

Why Do Guys Quit Dancing after 40? Posted: 11/8/2009 10:05:33 AM
And where were most of the men? Standing there on the sidelines watching. Probably because that "ride the cowboy" song is another one of those "feel good " womens' songs and one of the most retarded songs out there. Just my opinion thou,,,,a male opinion at that. Don't believe me,,,go ask. Unbelievabley,,,men will not dance to songs they think are stupid.

Why Do Guys Quit Dancing after 40? Posted: 11/8/2009 7:12:09 AM
Quit dancing?????,,,,,Trying to think when I really started Actually, I'm in Draxx's boat. I have a pair of knees that "used" to do an awful lot for me. Now,,,,not so much anymore. Every once in awhile while just walking around, doing whatever, you could easily end up seeing me quickly on my bum for no apparent reason because one of them decides to let go on me. I guess you "could" call it a dance of sorts thou. It actually pisses me off now, when the body reminds me of the stuff I used to do. Also pisses me off that the doc's advice of yesteryear is coming true. Damn Docs!!!! Still love grabbing the small of a woman's back and bringing her into me for a long slooooooow one. And I also still love belting out the vocals,,,,it's a good tactic to chase critters away. Also embarass' the hell outta of anyone that knows me,,,,I sometimes like doing that too.

Your Definition of Intimacy Posted: 11/7/2009 2:10:23 PM
Sorry,,,my comments were a quick statement regarding my experinces with the opposite gender. I have a few male friends(long time friends I must add,plus the odd close female) that now know that they can openly express to me their thoughts and feelings and come to me with the real "stuff" that is hurting or bothering them ,,,not fluffy generic comments,,,,knowing that I won't come up with comments back to them, like,,,,toughen up,,,be a man!!!,,,etc,,,etc. I also know a lot of men that don't dare express how they truely feel,etc because of what results,,,,,from BOTH men and women. From my personal experince,,,a lot of women can not actually figure out or handle a man that can express what is truely inside them. They end up calling(or labelling ) these types, needy,whiny,weak,etc. Or how about this one,,,," I want a man's man!!! ". More than once in my life I have been told by a female that is getting close to me that she has "never met a man like me",,,,whatever the hell that means. They couldn't even tell me, cause it probably doesn't happen enough to them,,,,,maybe????? The locked doors I refered to was how I am finding women that I get involved with in my life,,,,in all parts of it. Trust, I know is a big part of it,,,and yes,,,there are those that once they spend the time,,,they do actually "open" up and give me the "real" stuff. It involves droppin your guard,,,letting someone "in". And yeah,,,, I know for a fact that I have been guilty of such during periods of my life. But there are enough people in this world that have seen parts of me that most don't,,,that I will say that I am very comfortable in the way I let others see the whole me. Time,,,itself,,,,is a very big part of it. Seeing me in different situations is another. An example would be how I handle my people during the work hours,,,as compared to how I handle them and situations "after hours". Completely different,,,,but both are a very big part of "me". The other thing I have noticed is the communication thingy between the male and the female. There is something to be said about that Mars and Venus thingy. A lot of women have a tough time when a male does express his feelings cause he will end up putting them RIGHT OUT THERE and IN YOUR FACE when he actually decides to do it. But,,,,women,,,,,you will find that men won't do this until they believe or feel they can with you. There's that trust thingy again. Also, we (I) need that emotional connection. Hard to believe,,,, I know,,,but true for some of us. I will say,,,once I find that intimancy,,,,with anyone,,,,,it is very hard to replace. I guess that's what we all are looking for.

When women want to draw closer, we face each other, lock eyes in what has been called the "anchoring gaze," and proceed to reveal our hopes, our worries, our lives. To women, intimacy is talking face-to-face. Ummmm,,,,what century was that suppose to have happened????? Intimacy = the moment we are able to open the doors to each other's soul and mind. I'm finding a lot of locked and chained up doors. Just my experince thou.

Shaving or trimming your privates at our age? Posted: 11/7/2009 8:13:46 AM
Holy moly. Here we are in the year 2009,,,playing on a computer and according to some responses here,,,,no one knows how to look up information????? Men,,,,,go to a drugstore and go look in the shaving department,,,,,and open your eyes,,,,,,and minds. I guess maybe I was lucky when I was involved with a "younger" (mind & body) woman and she opened a few "doors" for me. Learned a whole new definiton of erotic and sensual,,,,and I was already a little "different" to begin with. If ya haven't even thought and/or tried it,,,probably best to keep some comments to yourselves,,,,they speak volumes to some of us.

What did you dream of being as a child? Posted: 11/7/2009 7:34:06 AM
I always thought it would be cool to live to see the year 2000,,,,of course,,,,as a fishy person. As it got closer,,,it didn't seem that all impossible. Then in the fall of 1998 I received a gentle reminder of how quickly things can change in ones life. After that, I'm just happy for today, thou "that" cabin of mine will continually be in the back of my mind, until it becomes a reality.

Organ donation - Opt-in or Opt-out? Posted: 11/6/2009 5:26:18 PM
The majority of us don't like it when private companys pull this kinda crap on us,,,,billing us for things because we didn't check the "no" box when we get stuff in the mail. Do you really think it is a good idea to let the goverment START doing it,,,,,,with OUR bodies??????? (and do ya think it's gonna stop there????) Now,,,,start thinking long and hard before you get all bleedy heart on me and repeat your YES'!!!!! Longgggggg and hard. Don't think it is such a wise idea to be letting someone to do something to my body by default. Don't care if I'm dead or not. I understand what "they" think "they" are trying to do,,,,but there are other ways. I'm also of the belief that sooner or later we are going to have to start worrying about how long we "extend" lives for. In the nature of things,,,,there are reasons why there are the weak. The world is not expanding here kidlets. Yeah,,,,I know I sound harsh,,,but really all I am doing is thinking out loud.

Women: Alcohol and Breast Cancer Posted: 11/6/2009 5:12:44 PM
Interesting. Two vices "approved" and "legal" by the goverments are both linked to cancers,,,,yet,,,,,still "approved" and "legal". And yet,,,,there are many people that still believe they are always looking out for our "safety" when new and improved rules and laws are put in place. Just thinking out loud here,,,but,,,, I wonder,,,would it have anything at all to do with $$$$$$. Like I said,,,,interesting. Just a side note. I do believe that the majority of "my" generation will die of some form of cancer. Don't know which one it will be for me,,,,and in the end,,,,it probably really doesn't matter what I "don't" drink, eat,breath, touch, work with,etc. I'll be dead.

all season vs all weather tires - who knew there was a difference? Posted: 11/6/2009 6:11:19 AM
I wonder if one day, the tire makers will come up with a tire for the lowermainland area. Because of where we are down here,,,there are certain things here that are unique to driving. Pouring rain and warm one day,,,,then the next,,,, -2 and slushy white shiat all over the place. Three days later,,,,more monsoons,,,,and warm again. Temps play a big part in the tire as one poster stated. Driving around when it's warmer is not so good for the winter tires. Personally,,,,and yes,,,,I KNOW it's against the law,,,,my four all seasons at $275 a piece have not failed me nor my truck. And no,,,,I don't throw it into 4X4 everytime a flake falls outta the sky. In my journerys around this province, I have had a foot of snowfall in late May/early June,,,,and in early November over 2 inches of rain falling quickly ( looks outside). I will argue,,,,driving skills are relative to this argument of snows versus "all seasons". I will also argue,,,,,liability and the word "sue" are also top on the list. And last but not least,,,the intelligence of some out there also plays a very big part.(think of what you see down here when the snow hits) In saying that,,,,if I actually lived in a place where we had a consistent "true" winter,,,I would have snows on by the November. Since I don't,,,,,,,I won't.
