Depression and spirituality Posted: 11/23/2009 3:40:54 PM
Ya'alls make this so complicated. Keep it Simple. I would venture to say that one simply needs to shift their perspective, by only 1 degree. 1% Selfless service to others. ONE PERCENT!!! Action replaces fear and fear IS the mind killer.

All the way in, or all the way out? Posted: 10/28/2009 4:17:24 AM
Everyone has a bad day. That's life and chit happens. First and foremost, is 'he' someone I can respect? Character, personality, self-love, and generosity are equally important. Character is the foundation. Does fear or love motivate the man? Fear is quick to anger, with various hues of gray and black that overshadows. Love, on the other hand, shines. Personality is the freedom of self-expression. How does he express himself? Self-love requires continuous self reflection and honesty: the good, the bad, the ugly, and the wonderful. Generosity is not selfish for personal or material gain. Does he share himself or unapproachable? When no-one is looking, is he kind to others, just because? When a vehicle cuts him off while driving, does he anger easily? At a resturant, will he uplift the waitress/waiter and leave a reasonable tip? How does he handle the silence during a date? How does he respond to animals and children in a crowd? His eyes, do they glow? Does he glow? If so, than I am all in. If not, than I am all out Annie

What is marriage Posted: 8/4/2009 3:40:29 PM
Marriage is not a word. It's a sentence ( a life sentence) Marriage is love. Love is blind. Therefore marriage is an institution for the blind. Marriage is an institution in which a man loses his Bachelor's Degree and the woman gets her masters. Marriage is a three ring circus: engagement, ring, wedding ring and suffering. Married life is full of excitement and frustration. In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens. In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens. In the third year, they both speak and the NEIGHBOURS listen. Getting married is very much like going to a restaurant with friends. You order what you want, and when you see what the other person has, you wish you had ordered that instead. Son: How much does it cost to get married, Dad? Dad: I don't know son, I"m still paying for it! Son: Is it true dad? I heard that in ancient china a man doesn't know his wife until he marries her. Dad: That happens everywhere son, EVERYWHERE! Love is one long sweet dream, and marriage is the alarm clock. They say that when a man holds a woman's hand before marriage, it is love; after marriage it is self defence. When a newly married man looks happy, we know why. But when a 10-year married man looks happy, we wonder why. Eighty per cent of married men cheat in America, the rest cheat in Europe. After marriage, husband and wife become two sides of a coin. They just can't face each other, but still they stay together. Before marriage, a man 'yearns' for the woman he loves. After the marriage the 'Y' becomes silent. It's not true that married men live longer than single men, it only seems longer. When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of one thing - either the car is new or the wife is.

Been here for over a year and 1/2 and yeah, waste of time. Block. Last week I spoke with a fellow who openly discussed his teenage girls wearing thongs, shaving?, and swimming naked. Perverts....... Oh, haha, and 'dad' was 'afraid' his son would peak at the girls skinny dipping. WTF? Wouldn't mind getting to know him better and TURN HIS A$$ IN TO child protective services............... Annie

How might Extraterrestrial's contact humans ? Posted: 7/30/2009 6:48:59 PM
Steven Greer spearheaded the Disclosure Project. Heck, ET spaceships are plastered all over ancient artifacts.... As for contact, Mister Logic, has got it. People have a spontaneous crown chakra activation, have a profound experience, a connection to the fabric of conciousness, pure conciousness and poof....'know all' One must be careful, because this is also the time one is most suseptible to misinformation...sensations....to "channeling" "telepathy" with energies (interpreted by the pineal gland).......always exercise discernment.

Does the hallucinogen DMT get released in the brain as were dying ? Posted: 7/30/2009 6:30:34 PM
This has been an interesting read. Shame on David for not giving David Wilcock's address: www.divinecosmos.com Think ya'alls will find more information about the pineal gland and it's significance (akin to the "looking glass") by reading , "Science of Peace" and viewing his video made a year or so ago.......very very intellegent fella.. David: How does the third eye (chakra) take over the crown chakra? The elitist channels power but guess what, wake up all, you can take it back, simply by intention. There's enough fear induced propaganda, do we really want to be a part of preventing others from claiming their divinity? BLUESMAN: you activate through intention. Nothing complicated. Trust yourself. It's powerful. Just be mindful, and you'll do fine. BTW: I've experience profound 'trips' simply by meditating and opening all chakras, no drugs required or necessary...... Annie

Eckhart Tolle Posted: 5/12/2009 6:39:55 PM
I downloaded his 6 part series onto my ipod via Skype at Oprahs website. Later, I tried to read the book, I gave it my best shot. Personally, I find him sloooooooooooooow and dry. He has many valid points, but takes tooooo long to get there. There is power in now because your thoughts and emotions create, NOW. This is the flow of life One must always be mindful. Watch and listen, see how long it takes you before your thoughts "wonder" again (evoking emotions). It's not easy! Also, he points out synchronicities that are occuring all the time in a wide variety of ways to challenge, support and guide, and push each towards the wholeness within ourself. I AM; therefore, I think, I feel, I create!

Boy Code Posted: 5/9/2009 12:05:21 PM
FREE: My inference to "inappropriate" was a question (not an accusation) which is why I asked you to clarify. As for "pushing" certain beliefs onto my children, are you kidding? Raising them has been a learning experience. Children, in thier wide-eyed wonderment with their innocent, yet, poignant questions, emphatically expressed, has been enriching. The "boy code" (and 'girl code') has been around the net for a long time and warrants revisiting from time to time. You've been baited....... As for the worms, well, yeah, I kinda detest that too while fishing which is ironic cuz I do love fishing! (pouts)...I've HAD to put the worms on the line if I was gonna catch any fish, I'll admit, it's yuuuuuuuuuukkkkkky. I Wear dirty old tee-shirts now...

Boy Code Posted: 5/9/2009 10:51:25 AM
RAYSE: Very brave fella you are to be the first male to step up to the plate, with honesty. FREE: Boys will be boys and girls will be girls. Well, my boy naturally takes everything apart to fix it, could care less what he wears or how dirty he gets; whereas, my girl only wants to sing, dance, and look pretty. They are fraternal twins and both 10. So, I do have the rare opportunity to see each grow up side by side and gravitate towards their inherent nature in finding themself. What concerns me is your answer? So, if a boy likes music or playing with with a stuffed animal, this would be inappropriate? If a girl wants to go out into a playing field, get's hurt, get's up, and walks without a note, this is inappropriate. Please clarify. PACKAGE: You are not weird. "just try not to 'cry like a girl' when in public" Why not expand our family to include those who cross our paths daily? Not that we should all go out and get touchy feely. However, as adults who want a better future for the next generation, wouldn't it be nice... when we see another, regardless of age or gender, hurting (whether it be an emtionally overcharged expression of anger or acceptance and grief expressed in tears), to reach out and support rather than turn our heads--in shame or denial? "When I get angry enough, I cry, can't seem to help it, pisses me off but at home, hand me that box of kleenex" haha...... that was funny. BTW: I keep a box in my vehicle to wipe tears and well, them porta potties and restrooms don't have 'em all the time... Thanks folks, and keep 'em coming

Boy Code Posted: 5/9/2009 5:29:21 AM
As a mother of two boys, I'd appreciate feedback regarding the "Boy Code" "...The Boy Code is a set of rules and expectations. The idea that boys need to keep their emotions in check; that violence is an acceptable response to emotional upset; that their self-esteem relies on power; and that they must reject any and all signs of ?feminine? qualities. Boys learn the Boy Code in sandboxes, playgrounds, schoolrooms, camps, churches, synagogues, temples, and hangouts, from peers, coaches, teachers, and just about everybody else. Even very young boys report that they feel they must "keep a stiff upper lip," "not show their feelings," "act real tough," "not act too nice," "be cool," "just laugh and brush it off when someone punches you." These boys are invoking strict rules they have absorbed about how they "must" behave -- rules that most of them genuinely fear breaking..." Regardless of gender, don't you think it's important for us to embrace both the feminine and masculine qualities for wholeness and balance? Annie

Towards an Agnostic Faith Posted: 5/8/2009 5:16:32 AM
This is really getting old. I'm not gonna sit here and tell ya'alls what to believe. I recongize the divinity in all, regardless. Earth is much older than ya think and humans have been here a very very long time. We've been nearly wiped out a couple times too. It's not the answer that's so important It is the depth of the question. Bravo! You are a thinking, living, beautiful, divine, god. Oops, did I dare to say that outloud. Well, that's just blasphamous, huh? Scared? Here's my point. Don't look outward and follow. Take responsibility for your OWN spiritual growth. It's okay! GOD isn't gonna strike you down. It's your journey, so own it. Otherwise, you are a slave. Shamanism, Sanskrit Vedic, Bood of Enoch, Book of Gilgamesh....... that's were it all started. The real truth was hidden, in secret sects, called magic. Well, wake up, no one is being executed anymore for embracing who they are. GOD is not a being. So, no 'being' is gonna materialize to save you, your "group," or the human race. We are alone (and priviledged) to make our own decisions. How does one define the infinite, free of time, space, distance, that unknown source, the etheral? Hmmmmmm? Perhaps GOD is a thought, pehaps we are GOD's thought, in form. Perhaps GOD is growing too? Evolution, let's talk about evolution. We are evolving. Look around you, we are coming out of our sleepy slumber. All were born 'imperfectly' perfect. Welcome to duality. Welcome to free will. Exercise, stretch, practice, and master as best you can. Oh, yes, back to you being god (note: not GOD, or God...yet), but, 'god.' Now what? Are ya think'in? Good! Just a thought..........

Do you have an intuition when it comes to others .... Posted: 5/8/2009 3:58:24 AM
Thank you Cable Guy for expanding and clarifing! There is sooooooooo much more to the immortal spirit! More and more are awakening to their higher self. With free information at your finger tips, "old school" thinking (and systems) crumbling, no executions anymore, a Genteel Evolution (paradigm shift) is occuring globally (and universally). What comforts me is that my children won't be forced to accept religious dogma. Thank GAWD! Each individual has the responsibility to become their own religion. Oh, yeah, we are soooooooooo much more powerful than mainstream knows. It's all in the meditation. Where our thoughts are, so is our intent. Energy DOES follow INTENT!

Wanting a relationship = quest for happiness? Posted: 5/7/2009 3:27:30 PM
[The problem is we as people have been tricked into thinking love is an emotion.] Nope, I think for myself. [This is not possible; if love was an emotion then it would be relative to everyone. ] We are related. Love is unlimitless and avail to all. [This can not be, for God loves us, and God is not relative. Love is a definable word, we need to understand what love is and not just say its some emotion that you feel.] We are of God, have free will, experience duality daily, and live... What would life be without the richness of emotions? [We should try to love everyone. ] Agree, to a point. If someone's coming at me with a knife, I'd venture to say I would love 'em to death. [In reality ] "Reality is an illusion; however, a persistent illusion" Einstien [there cannot be degrees of love, because it is one thing, with a definition or charcterisitcs that define it. ] Well, I don't love my dog the way I do those fragrant beautiful roses blooming. I don't love those roses at the same degree I do my children. And you do have to admit, there is a certain something that happens when there's that 'connection' with a significant other? [You cant love someone more than another,] yes, I can. [you either love someone or you dont] Partly true. There's good in all. Is the cup 1/2 full? Or 1/2 empty? Law of Attraction? [What love actually consist of should be the question we ask ourselves. ] Very good question. GOD is the source of all things. Perhaps OUR thoughts have energy and FORM's? Annie

Yes, very impressive! Someone so young considering a question of this nature! Perhaps a wise old soul? Duality, Toism, Yin Yang, the Universe, realitivity? Amazing! The replies equally insightful too! Who would have thought? known? It is easier to be alone, make no mistake, it's soooooooooo much easier! That said, change IS constant. To say I want someone who shares my values, spiritual views...blah, blah, blah isn't enough. Unconditional love, soul connection, and someone who allows themself to CHANGE is key. OUR MOTTO: "may we never get into a rut and always allow ourselves exposure to new ideas, experiences, and beliefs" Now go find him for my folks....... I'm still waiting! Left overs suck! Annie .

Everyone has at least one, if not two abilities. We are born unlimitless. Think waaaaaaaaaaaay back folks. Something will come to mind. Society, friends, family etc.. beats it down. Wouldn't want the masses going bazerk huh? (referring to 6.3 billion). For me it's clearessential and 'vibes' (sense). But for yeeeeeeeeeeeears, I called it 'instinct' (which BTW, I've ALWAYS followed.....good/bad). As I 'exercise' these abilities, to my shock (and I was every bit shocked...scared the heck out of me), I can also focus before sleeping. The deeper the connection, the clearer the picture (this actually happend to me while driving....) Adequate sleep is the key... and journal ALL your dreams....... either in a micro-recorder or by the bed stand. When you wake, DON'T move, get in the habit of feeeeeling the bed, moving your toes, smell the air....... then RECALL, and write brief phrases...this way you won't lose a thing and can expand later. I've astroplaned and have had two OOB Experiences.... Let go of ego and fear.... ego being the auto-babbler and fear the killer. Close your eyes, don't focus, and flow........amazing! There is nothing mysterious about the gifts all the prophets had ...... just secretly taught......that's all. Google and youtube....... It's all at your finger tips and not a secret anymore! Annie

letting a man wait for sex Posted: 5/7/2009 12:00:35 PM
Part of self-discovery is exploring all aspects of yourself, to include the euphoria of sex, within reason. Nowdays, so many 'young pups' are getting disease(s). It's rampant! Like playing russian roulette. Personally, if there's not an emotional connection, it's not gonna work. Working through the 'honeymoon' stage has proven to be a godsend! Unless you really, really, REALLY know the person. Newbies in my personal space don't get the benefit of the doubt. Heart, mind, body, and soul, MEAN's heart, mind, body, and soul. I've been involved with men who had hang-ups, void of spontenaity, and predictable. Sorry, no passion, no Annie GAMES? or perhaps, she didn't have an emotional connection? Guys, you can completely shut down the 'connection' with words (or lack of), action (or lack of), and taking us for granted sexually just so you can "get off." Love making is the merging of two souls. This is not to say that ONCE in an exclusive committed relationship that two can't "****, have great sex, or quickies" ....... Annie

Unfinished business.....? Posted: 5/7/2009 10:00:22 AM
CALMNESS IN OUR LIVES I am passing this on because it definitely works. We could all use a little more calmness in our lives. By following simple advice heard on the Dr. Phil show, you too can find inner peace. Per Dr. Phil, "The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started and have never finished." Well, I had A LOT OF stuff unfinished.....So, I looked around my house to see all the things I started and hadn't finished. By noon, I finished off a bottle of White Zinfandel, a bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream, a package of Oreos, the remainder of my old Prozac prescription, the rest of the cheesecake, some Doritos, and a box of chocolates. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuuup! You have no idea how freaking good I feel right now!!!! Annie

Hmmmm. Well, I did date an older fellow for yeeeeeeaaaaars. We were great together..or so I thought. I grew up, joined the military and went to college. As part of self reflection and unanswered questions, I went back to where I lived and found him. He had not grown or changed one bit and let me tell you, he was not the man i thought he was 10 years earlier. As for sex.......he didn't know crap! Women don't get 'picky' we've just been there and done that and know what we want and don't want. A relationship grows, takes time, and not rooted in chemistry. Real 'chemistry' is happening on many levels.... Pfff.....no menstral cycle, no pregnancy to worry about, no "having to time it" well, hell yeah, we are happy campers. As for multiple partners just to "do it" Well, you know they may, but not all of us are like that. Annie

Are US Men Obsolete? Posted: 5/6/2009 2:41:10 PM
The question itself seems a cop out! Studies? Really? Okay.... "lower education?" Let me say that there are many people who are well read and self-taught. A degree means that you followed "the system" like a good girl/boy. you are now caught up in it's "abusive cycle" never to leave. Don't get me wrong, I've got "paper" to back up what I've learned in this "old school, abusive cycle" and no paper to prove what I've researched. If a man shows some degree of intellegence, emotional IQ, integrity, sincerety, and witty? They have a chance. The ball is in our court! We aren't hidding in the shadows being "good little girls with bright red lipstick" And you need to get over "help support....a lifestyle" Crud! our lifestyle is hindered by having custody of (YOUR CHILD(REN). How many MEN I've spoken too who are FREE.......to blow their paycheck on whatever, usually getting drunk and pursueing younger females. What a CROCK! Get your head out of your BUTT, put it in front of worth material. STUDIES.........Pfffffffffff, Garbage in, garbage OUT! Annie

NOT FAIR! Posted: 5/6/2009 5:33:44 AM
Well I read enough. Started out positive, but ended negative. Guess what? He obviously feels a sense of responsibility...you just gotta lead him a bit. When he is there, give him a finger nail clipper, calmly, but firmly, walk him through it. Some guys are just intimadated by such a small breath of life. Heck, hold the child and say, "here, put the child gently in his arms..." Go to the bathroom, lock the door, and just give him a bit of time.... Woman could do more to get the man involved...be creative. Don't be afraid...cuz he IS! Along the way, you may get that seed of love to bloom. If not, get his A$$ in court, get child support, improve your life (as you must or your child is doomed to repeat your life), tell your man, "step aside....." while you move forward! There are sooooooooooooooooooo many programs out there for single parents, that there is no excuse sitting there feeling self-pity. Action replaces fear.......so MOVE! One step at a time, one day at a time. It's not easy.......I won't be easy.......but you will get there. Annie

menopause Posted: 5/6/2009 5:20:56 AM
It's good that you ask this here. By all means ask. This is part of the communication necessary in a relationship! What concerns you, should concern her. Be upfront. I've been asked and respect where the question is coming from. No one want's children this late in life, right? First, by 53, she should be well past menopause. Even if she's not, the only thing that may affect you, is: cool air at night. I heard horror stories growing up about heat flashes, and though I had them, they weren't the kind where I felt like I had to throw my shirt off on a chilly day, attending a football game. Leg Cramps for some reason were an issue, so get the lotion... As for mood swings, well, yeah, they do happen; however, that should not ever be an excuse/permission for behavioral problems. Don't feed into that. She simply needs 'attitude sleep.' Good Luck Annie

Younger children as dealbreakers Posted: 4/29/2009 6:17:49 PM
Okay, my definintion of young is a child who can't dress, feed, bath, or wipe their own butts. No, I don't want someone who has "young" children. Been there and glad it's behind me. Grandchildren? Don't have any yet. I will be able to give them back and have piece and quiet restored again. My ex fiancee used to be obsessed with his youngest, even though he did have family own who would have offered assistance??? Nope, if you got younger children, I've got a wonderful 10 year old who is great with younger children (I teach 'em well......yes, I do......LOL), and will make sure I won't trip over your 2' child with a pot of boiling water I just pulled off the stove to drain.

At 46, too active for the many and too old for the few? Posted: 4/29/2009 5:35:44 PM
Baseball cap tossed to the ground... At 46 climbing Mt Everest, kayacking down the Colorado river, skydiving from 10,000 feet to .... teeth, or doon buggying across the Sahara ain't gonna happen. Had you slowed down a bit a few years back......???? Though I AM active as best as I can be (knee and back problems) and still fight the good fight, my interests simply lie elsewhere. Yes, I do have errands, work, home yard, maintenance, etc! The weekends ARE to play "catch-up" This is why I am not rushing out my door for "prince charming." Perhaps, he can come to MINE. You want active? Well I do too, so come on over to Kentucky, I've got a full weeks worth of sweat for ya. ......kicks dirt on your white sneakers Annie

"When boys need parents" Posted: 4/29/2009 10:55:27 AM
Though ya'alls would enjoy this! Now, I am really gonna get outside to get some work done. Thanks all. It's been fun. 1.) A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house 4 inches deep. 2! .) If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite. 3.) A 3-year old Boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant. 4.) If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound Boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20x20 ft. room. 5.) You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way. 6.) The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan. 7.) When you hear the toilet flush and the words 'uh oh', it's already too late. 8.) Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it. 9.) A six-year old Boy can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36- year old Man says they can only do it in the movies. 10.) Certain Lego's will pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year old Boy. 11.) Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence. 12.) Super glue is forever. 13.) No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water. 14.) Pool filters do not like Jell-O. 15.) VCR's do not eject 'PB & J' sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do. 16.) Garbage bags do not make good parachutes. 17.) Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving. 18.) You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is. 19.) Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens. 20.) The fire department in Austin ! , TX has a 5-minute response time. 21.) The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy. 22.) It will, however, make cats dizzy. 23.) Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy. 24.) 80% of Women will pass this on to almost all of their friends, with or without kids. Annie

Favorite romantic movie scene Posted: 4/29/2009 9:57:30 AM
Well, the one that comes to mind immediately is in "Officer and a Gentlemen" The scene where he goes into the factory and swoops her up! AWESOME! Oh, and the one with John Travolta in it........yes, (cough) I am oldeeerrr.... Don't recall the name of the movie now, but he and "Debra Winger??" split over a fight. He mets a rich uptown girl. She mets an abuser. The best part is when John Travolta realizes a few truths (she does too), and he kicks his A$$! Braveheart with Mel Gibson. Yes, his wife's throat was sliced but he did go on and changed history! Oh, and (yes, I have many, but this is, neweeeeeeeeeeer) Every scene between Arwen and Aragorn in "Lord of the Rings" Hand's down, the best? " The Return of the King" reunion scene. AMAZING! Viggo Mortensen's and Liv Tyler. BTW: This was required reading in HS, so I kept abreast of my son's reading??? What's wrong with that? LOL. Yes, watching the movies was a must!! Here's a clip..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pR1KF_k9mnU Most recently. Duh? "Twilight" All of 'em (courtesy of my 10 year old daughter who begged for the DVD, so I've seen it many times! Leona Lewis rocks. Take a peak: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pR1KF_k9mnU Gosh, a favorite. Whenever the heart, human potential, and soul triumphs! Annie

LYING ABOUT AGE ON DATING PROFILE! Posted: 4/29/2009 8:25:12 AM
"...Perhaps so many people lie about their age because they don't want too reveal too much information to anyone with access to the internet." Good point Annie

Initial Attraction & Love ... Posted: 4/29/2009 6:29:43 AM
Love is an unseen force, communicating the spoken and unspoken on many levels of awareness. Love is magic, are you kidding me? So, hate is merely a verb? I agree with most of what you say, but to minimize emotions and actions even a tiny bit is being 'safely distant." Well spoken and articulate JUSTME; however, I don't in it's entirety agree. Man, if it doesn't develope into a mature relationship with a bit of unknown spice, then why? Annie

LYING ABOUT AGE ON DATING PROFILE! Posted: 4/29/2009 6:14:31 AM
Oh yeah. I had a meet with a fellow from another site. His profile read 5' 11," he wore a cowboy hat, 47, and 'successful." He drove up in a beat up black 2-door sedan, shorter than ME, bald, and clearly in his 70's!!! NO LIE, this REALLY HAPPENED! Wait until you are chatting via IM and "he's" clearly not a man, can't construct a sentence properly, doesn't catch 'cliches,' and evasive/ambiguous. GRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Annie

Are you getting tired on Internet Dating too? Posted: 4/29/2009 6:05:43 AM
Believe it or not, I met my last fiancee of 4 1/2 years at American Singles back in 2003. When we split up late Dec 07, it hurt so bad that I really wasn't interested anymore. However, I bounced back and thought I'd give it another go. Within the 1st week, like vultures, the 'hotties' were only interested in IM or emailing me with very personal sexually realted questions and unrealistic webcam/photo requests. Not being prepared for this bombardment emotionally and psychologically, initially, I was furious and it did cloud my judgement on other possiblities. Within a 3-5 month time frame, I've had two stalkers (and one had to be a cop), and three meets (don't think first meet would be considered a date..a date is someone I really really want to be with). Each were evasive about their appearance or downright lied. I continue to speak with two, and know (as they have been told) that a realationship won't happen beyond friends. I've sent sooooooooooooo many emails in the last eight months and agree it's rude when they are not returned and agree many are superficial. I can't begin to tell you how many foriegners and those posing American are fake, scammers, information gathers, disabled, out of work, collecting pension/retirement, no level and well rounded, lonely, and so forth. I will surf and read profiles. However, I know I'll never go farther north than where I am living now, won't date a non-smoker, and the fellow must be within my age range and mileage. If he can't call me or meet me, it's a setup for failure, so why waste my time? Time is precious and I don't have much as a single parent. Let me make it clear, I don't get 10-50 or even one email a day or even one per month. That stopped after the 1st month. Dates? Well, that stopped after the first month too. The fantasy is over and reality sucks! There are two regular pen pals, but then again, if they don't get off their butts and call, why keep up a pretense. BTW, I am successful (not a welfare momma), sexy, pretty, intellegent, witty, easy-going, compassionate, spiritual, posses several skills (solidifying gainfully employeed as long as I can work), with unlimited energy, and so much more. PROCOL: Upside down photo? I HAD to take a look. Coffee went through my nose when I read, "required beer, fish, and vehicle photos coming soon." Hehe, why do guys do that? I do enjoy the forums on a wide range of interests here and on other sites. So, the community is different? As long as I grow, learn, support others, why not? Annie
