How long will you stick with POF? Posted: 11/19/2009 11:45:29 AM
I have been here on and off for about four years now....how time flies! I must admit I enjoy the forums and have seen some good posters come and go over the years. I hope you all enjoy your new lives away from the site , proof that perhaps it does work? As for dating, I have had some good experiences and the odd not so good experience , however I remain full of optimism Edinburgh also has a very active 'meet' arrangement going on , so all is well up here (apart from the weather)

christmas decorations Posted: 11/19/2009 11:39:02 AM
I don't usually put mine up till about a week before Christmas. My two kids have moved to rented flats within the last six months and each has a new kitten......yes, you have guessed it, they are ALL coming for Christmas I supect there wont be a Christmas tree being put up this year ....would be a bit of a waste of time don't you think?

What is meant by the 'left' and 'right'? Posted: 11/15/2009 10:58:57 AM
Interestingly enough, the Latin word for 'left' is 'sinister' Just thought I would throw that into the pot

expensive tv at poole hospital Posted: 11/13/2009 12:30:38 PM
If I was in hospital all I would want would be my music...a good book...someone putting my meals down in front of me (maybe not the best but at least I didnt have to prepare them) and lots of rest.....last thing I would think about is TV

Hairy backs - are they an issue? Posted: 11/11/2009 3:56:55 AM
When it gets to the stage where the hair can be gathered up and pulled over their shoulders and tied in a rather fetching bow -tie effect......that's when there is an issue

Does Gordon Brown deserve such criticism over his miss spelt letter? Posted: 11/10/2009 2:21:09 PM
I appreciate that he is partially sighted.........but the least he could have done is have his secretary check his spelling and the detail (i.e correct name)!!!! Lorraine

Are you musical at all.? Posted: 10/3/2009 10:16:23 PM
I played piano as a kid.....can still batter out a tune if I have the music in front of me . My daughter has a degree in Music (Classical Guitar is her instrument) and she is going on to study Music Therapy next year. My son has a diploma in Sound Engineering and is currenty studying Music at Uni (Guitar) . He teaches Guitar 3 evenings a week at our local High School. His girlfriend also studies music and her instrument of choice is her voice..........so mine is a very muscal family

people with heavier thighs are less likely to suffer from heart problems Posted: 9/23/2009 2:39:21 PM
I think what was being highlighted was that if the lower body is bigger /heavier in proportion to the upper body then there is less chance of heart problems...whereas we top-heavy folks may suffer more heart problems Perhaps I didnt word my OP correctly

healthy choices Posted: 9/21/2009 11:17:53 AM
I see lots of kids walking to school eating crisps at 8am...... Also the younger folk in my office seem to feast on rubbish all day, from about the same time (ok, I work flexi, my arrival time can vary) Don't get me wrong, I enjoy chocolate but the thought of eating it before about 3pm makes me feel sick

people with heavier thighs are less likely to suffer from heart problems Posted: 9/21/2009 7:23:52 AM
According to an article which I read today, people with heavier thighs are less likely to suffer from heart problems. As a lucky lady with fairly slim thighs ....and high Blood Pressure...its looks as though there could be some truth? What are your thoughts? Or is it just another way of talking about the apple/pear shape comparison ?

Are kids immune to how annoying their parents are? Posted: 9/21/2009 7:09:54 AM
Similar to another thread on here at the moment....but roles reversed. Do you ever encounter families where you look at the wee ones and think....'you poor wee things' ? It does strike me that some kids have drawn the short straw in life

MSN is fine for me ....it's easier to have a two-way blether than be waiting for individual messages to come through on here. I only switch to MSN as and when I have got to know the person and feel comfortable talking to them. I have a nice wee list of close friends and family....any unpleasant incidents can be easily enough handled

My late father used to drive along , checking his handbrake was off every 2 minutes. I swear he thought that as he was going so slowly the brake must be on!! He also used to comment that he often felt as if he was moving backwards, the number of cars that overtook him
