bigg132, Just checked Yahoo maps; The most direct way is to take; 16 North/West to 13/16 North/West to 17 North to 220 West then past the Wal-mart etc. Going up 95 to 295 to 17, you would be doing a big upside down J. (It would add 15-30 miles to your trip each way) Dave

Suns Baseball fanatics Posted: 5/2/2008 3:50:02 PM
We have the next 8 day of the Suns playing at home at 7:05pm, except Wed. which is 1:05pm business special. I can't figure out how to put this in the upper banner for "Get togethers". Let's pick a day/date and plan to meet along the 3rd base line (shaded) or the 1st base line (suntanning) some day in the next 8 days. I'll probably be there next Wed 1:05 and Thurs 7:05pm. Anyone got suggestions? Does anyone have the ability to pop this the "local events" or get togethers" section? If so, take it. Play Ball. By the way, you don't have to be a fan or watch the game.

$4 a gallon gas? WTF? What do you think? Posted: 3/10/2008 7:00:03 PM
1. DRILL, DRILL, DRILL. Open the refineries that have been closed. Yes, I know of 1 in good condition in California which is closed. 2. I figured after gas passed the $2.30 range, that those without 1-3 toddlers or handicapped in their cars would GET OUT instead of using the drive-thru at the fast-food places. But it hasn't happened. I hardly ever use the drive-thru (only after hours). 3. Conserving: I'm only taking my dog to the dog park 1 or 2 days per week now. 3. I don't have a particular "feeling" about this. I believe the corporations here could start drilling again. 4. I've been considering getting a scooter.

Oil hits $100 a barrel Posted: 1/3/2008 9:09:27 AM
A hundred dollars a barrel? Can the oil companies with wells in the US start the wells back up again? Or does oil have to go to $150 per barrel to alieviate the lawsuits from environmentalists and pressure from Congress to NOT use our own oil or do any exploration?

Why do men aged 40 and over still say Unsure if they want kids or not? Posted: 8/25/2007 8:31:25 AM
That basically means that we are open to possibly having kids, being involved with a woman who has kids, or in my case; willing to adopt older kids once the relationship and marriage are established. I just got rejected by someone on another site because I stated that I want kids. If I remember correctly, the entire phrase is "Unsure/Open".

Baptist-Morman compatibility Posted: 8/19/2007 12:05:49 PM
Southern Baptist is a denomination. Some questions you may want to ask yourself and some for your pastor; What are your beliefs? What do you know about being a Christian? You aren't a "Bible Thumper", but do you have any idea what the Bible says? Especially about "adding to the book ". At 36, you should be able to read a few good books; "Evidence that demands a verdict", Any books from Charles Stanley or D. James Kennedy Check out www.equip.org too. Find "The Bible Answerman" radio program in your area. [I'm not as educated on religion as I should be. ] It looks like it might be time to get educated. Or I guess you can read Post #6. You may have to print that one out to read it.

Quick notice - Jacksonville Suns Saturday Posted: 8/8/2007 8:46:49 AM
That's right, this Saturday, Aug 11. The game starts at 7:05. I think the park opens at around 6 or 6:30pm. Maps and the address should be accessible on the jaxsuns dot com website. You don't have to love, like, or know baseball. Just watch out for foul balls. Let's meet at the cheap seats down the 1st base line. Parking is about $5. The cheap seats are $5.50, seat with backs are $6.50-$8.50. Food is $4+, drinks are $1+. I'll try to get a POF banner unfurled. (Not too big tho.) Bring your own if you have one. I'm not the crazed baseball fan. Do we have any guys or gals who are? Who will strike out? Who will make a home run? You don't have to sign up here, just show up. Bring the kids.

Record him the next time (if there is one). Get a background check done on him. You need to see if this is a pattern (which it sounds like it is). Find out how many DUIs he has. Counseling sounds good.

Let's try this again: I'm not the crazed baseball fan. Do we have any guys or gals who are? If so, we could set up a get together every week (end of the 1st or 3rd base line). Whoever is the leader could choose the area, bring a small POF banner, and let everyone else know when the next home game (get-together) is. Who will strike out? Who will make a home run? Darn; no baseball icons. Any takers??

Can we make a long-distance relationship work? Answer the questions separately and then come together and see if you agree.

Jacksonville get-together...ages 30-60? Posted: 3/1/2007 5:35:36 PM
I have the north east side covered (Atlantic Beach/Neptune beach) Ragtime is a good place. (Atlantic and 3rd st.) They regularly have a live band and the crowd is generally 30-60. Caribe, across the street is primarily the 20 somethings. Of course, there is always The Landing for a central location. I hope you get my e-mail too.

If you had a second chance at a lost love, would you go for it? Posted: 2/15/2007 5:25:26 PM
OP and your #7 and #8: "it's just as strong for the both of us as it was then" "the thing is I feel it getting stronger everyday" Talk and chat but, cool your jets. There is a difference between infatuation and love. That's what this sounds like. Yes, the air is cleaner. The sky is brighter; but how do you answer the questions below? That is the MEAT which will tell you whether this is love or not. You need to ask yourself where you want to be in the next 5-10 years. Where do you want to live? Kids? Church? Career? Where does she want to be? This is HOMEWORK. You shouldn't TALK back and forth about it. ONE would be more tempted to bow to the other's love wishes. Each of you, write those dreams out ALONE. Then share them with each other with a third party to make sure neither is giving in. If you are older and wiser, you'll read books on developing a healthy loving relationships to see if each of you has the characteristics you need. Feelings are fine. You need to grow your mind too. Good luck.

Thanks for the responses: By the way; "A lot of us are "Looking for the one" but sometimes you just have to "take a risk"." this phrase was a play on her Headline and my name. I will drop the "hope to hear..." It has NOT been the same 'cut and paste' to each one. I generally get something from their profile to mention. I'm working on newer/better pics.

Here's an example of a response I sent for one profile: I'm Dave. I'm intelligent, and articulate once I get to know someone. I'm not sure about being sweet. Fun: Well, I do tend to have a sarcastic sense of humor. Are there any TV shows you wouldn't miss? What type of movies and music do you like? Do you prefer dancing or kareoke? A lot of us are "Looking for the one" but sometimes you just have to "take a risk". I hope to hear from you. --------------------------- The dialog above was an indication that I actually READ her profile and responded to it. Checking in again 3 days later, got the "Read" catagory. I've sent out 30-50 messages to different women over the time on this sight. I usually end up with "Read" or "Read and deleted". What do women want in answer to their profile? a book? one line?

hints for approaching a guy Posted: 1/16/2007 10:25:50 AM
Long option: Hello, I'm really shy and don't normally do this. But I've had too many times when I made eye contact with someone like we just did, and neither one of us did anything. I always regret not saying something afterwards. So, Hello; I'm ____________. Short option: [Walk up to within 3 feet, do the hair flip (optional), look him in the eye, tilt your head] Say: "Hello." with a slight smile.

I Was Wondering If Any Ever Had an Old Flame Find You, and Want To Try Things Again? Posted: 1/4/2007 4:08:29 PM
I got a messenger note asking if I wanted to add an old flame to my Chat Friends list, Oct 2006. I agreed. We had gone out Sept and Oct. of 2005. Then BAM. She stopped all contact after Halloween night. When I did agree to add her to Chat friends, I tried to find out what happened last year. She said she didn't see me being in the family type situation and she had to make decisions for herself and her son. She had moved to Wash, DC. We chatted back and forth. I decided to go and visit for a weekend. We talked and played tourists. She was planning on visiting family in Tampa and possibly here in Jax over Christmas. When I got back home, I called and talked to her once. After that, nothing. AGAIN. I never got a response to calls, e-mails, or texts. She is on POF now in MD. Tomorrow she will be deleted from my phone, chat friends, and e-mail list.

A lot of folks here are writing books about what you should do. Between the original story, the advice, and the continuing story; I see the lyrics of a country song possibly coming out of this. Keep an ear on the country radio stations over the next 6 months to a year. Your story might end up there.

Coupons Posted: 9/23/2006 10:22:53 PM
I get coupons for all kinds of different fast-food restaurants at least once a month. Towards the end of the month, if I haven't used them, I will take the coupons with me at lunchtime. I'll cut out the ones I want to use. I then hand them to the person directly behind me and say loud enough for everyone behind him/her, "Here, use which ever you want. Whatever you don't use, pass to the person behind you." I get a lot of smiles that way.

There is one phrase that will drive a man crazy. If you say it when you aren't going to meet with me for a few days or tell me this morning when we are seeing each other tonite, it drives me crazy. Don't EVER in a casual or regular conversation say: "We need to talk." That always drives a guy crazy. "Oh, crap. What did I do?" "What the hell? Why?" ARG

Advice needed on whether a guy is gay maybe or not? Posted: 9/6/2006 8:59:08 AM
WakeDan and Swimfan, I stand by my #15 post. It pretty much said it all. Vengence is sweet I guess. Me thinks Swimfan saw the movie too many times (a movie about an obsessed teen). And that, with all the debate she has been doing, Swimfan may be a subscriber to Psychology Today and a big fan of Fraser. But like I said before, "If it's over, it's over."

How do I get him back? Posted: 9/3/2006 11:16:07 AM
[I know I was too clingy and demanding. But I can easily change that. I just need a chance. He's my best friend, the sun in my world, and suddenly he's gone. I don't know what to do with my time anymore. He hasn't even called to see if I'm doing okay.] It looks to me like you haven't tried to change. What did you do with your time before meeting him? Did you have friends to talk to and do things with? Did you pursue hobbies? Were you focused on school and learning new things? "I can easily change that." It doesn't sound like you have from your statements. He may have realized that he was not put here to fill EVERY need you have. That's why everyone should have friends. When you both isolate from the rest of the world and obsess on each other, you aren't living in reality. It's called infatuation. "How do I fix this?" Get a life, hobbies, friends.

Advice needed on whether a guy is gay maybe or not? Posted: 8/31/2006 3:33:35 PM
I'm glad to see more information now. [He used my money, ate my food, drank all my stuff, came over because he had no money, asked me for money, had sex with me to get off only (as it seemed)....he was def using me, at least that is what I think.] [He is kind of girly and likes to do things that girls do, but he doesn't appear gay. He used to be a real play boy. Has the great looks and the charm.] Between the 2 above posts, me thinks YOU need to see your PROF for advise FOR YOU. Sounds like you were settling and now you are trying to justify the breakup. Venting here about his sexual abilities or preferences might be your way of keeping him in your thoughts and in your life or vengence. If it is over, it should be over.

What do you look for when attending a POF party? Posted: 8/31/2006 11:19:32 AM
Msg 17: I have gone to 2 parties. I usually do check out the profiles of the gals before going. The last party ended up with an older crowd. It's easier than the "Let's meet for coffee." If we connect, great. If not, we both can see other people we may be interested in. A POF party with kareoke worked the best, I think.
