Tim Horton's Rant Posted: 4/15/2007 10:09:54 PM
Anybody notice the number of "Help Wanted" signs at Timmy's and other fast food places? It's a sign of the times. The fewer people behind the counter, the more difficult it is for them to do their job efficiently. The pay isn't exactly an incentive, but neither is the grouchy customer that had to wait 5 minutes in a lineup because there isn't enough staff. Just smile and say "thank you". It might make someone's day.

VICTORIA POF LETS DO IT AGAIN AT THE GLEN LAKE INN Posted: 4/15/2007 10:57:38 AM
That was a great time! Thanks so much to Sherry and the organizers. You worked so hard, but it looked like you were having fun too! Great job. It was a pleasure meeting new friends, and reconnecting with some met at the last function. I look forward to the next one.

Had fun at the Waterwheel (I saw you there Andy). I'm going to try adjusting my work schedule so I can make it, and to bring a couple of friends too.

Ants!!!! Please tell me what you've done to get rid of them! Posted: 3/5/2007 7:28:47 PM
Peenyroyal works very well. Planting pennyroyal near a spot where they enter will keep them out. You could also put pots of pennyroyal in an area that is infested. Pennyroyal is a member of the mint family, and has a pleasant scent (to humans anyway). Keep in mind though, any of these remedies only discourage them. None of them destroy the nests or the eggs. The only way to truly eradicate them is to spend the money on an exterminator. It doesn't cost as much as you may think, and it is well worth the peace of mind. Otherwise, you will be going through this every year, and that's a pain!

how can this be rude?? Posted: 7/2/2006 1:25:03 AM
You weren't rude, but he just waved a red flag in front of you. If he were truly interested in you he would be considerate of the fact you don't want to meet a stranger in your home. Sounds like he is already trying the "control" thing. Walk away.

Met a great girl.....but she's on chat 12 hours a day. Posted: 6/29/2006 1:46:15 PM
OP a suggestion for you. Read your original post, pretending it's from someone else. Then see what your opinion is. In your post, you have answered all your own questions, you just need to look at it with a different perspective. "Youknow that feeling when your getting played. Well........i got that feeling." Trust your feeling. You are right.

Hello POF people of Victoria B.C. Posted: 6/28/2006 4:04:10 PM
It's the end of June. Did anything happen? I just found this thread. Saturday is July 1....huge celebrations downtown all day, ending with the fireworks at 10:00 PM. I plan to be there! Anyone else? Let me know, and we can arrange a meeting place.

So you finally open up? then what? Posted: 6/24/2006 10:19:21 AM
Everyone deal with situations in a different way. That's what makes life interesting. Could it be that she needs time to "deal with" the things you have told her? Not everyone can brush off situations and walk away. It takes time. Obviously, you care for this lady, or you wouldn't have opened up to her in this fashion. It could be she is having trouble dealing with something that happened to someone she cares about. If she cares about you, she feels sad about the fact that she couldn't do anything to help or protect you. It may take her some time to assimilate the information, realize that you have moved on, and be able to move on herself. Remember....this was "old stuff" to you, but was new to her. Give her time and some respect for her feelings on the matter.

Guy I met online keeps asking for money Posted: 6/8/2006 11:19:12 PM
Have you reported him yet? Remember, if you are smart enough to NOT fall for his con game, yet fail to report him, he might find someone else. Do the good deed and report him. If not to the cops, at least to management here so he will be removed from the site.

How long have you been doing online dating? Posted: 6/5/2006 5:07:54 PM
Interesting subject. I don't see dating online as much different than other types of dating. It all depends on your expectations. After all, if you date someone you met briefly in another area of life, do you expect that to lead to happily ever after? In all areas of life we meet people who become acquaintances, friends, lovers...and exes. The internet is just another resource. What facinates me about it, is the fact that it puts you in contact with so many more people all over the world that you would never have known existed were it not for the internet. Having said that, I have met many friends, both men and women, through the internet. Mostly in msn chat, but also through dating sites. I think the problem with dating sites is just that...they are "dating sites". Many people are advertising themselves in the hopes of attracting "just one" special person, while others are shopping for "just one" special person. I think if one were to give up on the idea of meeting "the one" and just enjoyed meeting people for the sake of broadening their horizons and their friendships, they would be happier. Besides, ever notice how when you are looking for something....anything...how difficult it is to find? It is when you stop searching and continue with life the object of your search appears. Some of my best friends have started as internet connections.

Brothers wife has breast cancer, how long until the end? Posted: 1/28/2006 12:52:37 AM
You and your family are still in my prayers Sammy. I hope you are holding up well. It is a very difficult situation for you. It sounds like your brother has an awful lot to deal with. I want to commend jeepingirl. The job you do must be very difficult, and not always rewarding. I remember when my Father passed away in a cancer ward, we would not have made it through without the support and caring of the wonderful nurses that cared for him. You have my deepest respect. Thank you, to you and your colleagues for the wonderful work you do.

42 to 62 Year Olds Meet in Here! Posted: 1/28/2006 12:38:40 AM
Oh Oh mandrake...hope everything worked out alright with the drier. Nothing scarier than a fire! Speaking from experience here, as I lost a home to one. It was many years ago, but I am still very nervous about fire hazards. I still unplug appliances when they aren't being used. Even the toaster! Sorry I missed my curfew. I was home by 10. Next time I'll stay out later. If I'm going to get in trouble...may as well make it worthwhile

I just got home from a coffee meet with a group of "fish". That was fun! It's nice to meet people in a group like that. It's a non threatening atmosphere, and we are all there for the same reason.....get out and socialize before insanity sets in!

alternative to birth control... removing my uterus? Posted: 1/27/2006 5:34:52 PM
Just wondering if anyone has tried alternatives to surgery? There are many natural therapies that are very helpful for painful periods. Try researching some of the websites dealing with herbal remedies. Dr. Weil comes to mind. Anyone had any experiences with these?

Does size matter ?-- {not that size / bad POFrs} the height of your date ? Posted: 1/19/2006 12:49:14 AM
I am easy going when it comes to height. Although the best dancing partner I ever had was only 5'7. But at 5'2, almost everyone is taller than I am! On that note, I recently went to a formal party. When I dressed, I asked my date for his opinion on the shoes I should wear. One pair made me tall enough to look him in the eye. He didn't like that....lol....wanted me to wear the shorter heels.

What a great thread. May I join in? So many I would like to respond too, but dang, can't remember them all. It's not that I forget a lot these days, it's just my memories are so filled up with good stuff, I sometimes get lost and lose track of what I am looking for! Good discussion about the "single vs divorce" issue. My msn profile has always said single, since that's the way I feel. On here though, it didn't feel "honest" so I put divorced. Thank goodness it doesn't ask how many times. My last marriage was so short, I almost forget about it. Don't ask about the other 7...or was it 10? Hmmmmm. jk On another note....I think the best thing about this age (55 for me) is being able to relate to my grown up kids as grown ups and friends. It isn't often I am required to do the Mommy bit anymore (there are still occasions though..and I do it quite well). I love having my kids as friends, and I really enjoy their company. Sometimes the shoe is on the other foot, and I find my kids "parenting" me...lol. That doesn't mean I am looking to hook up with a younger man though. When I get a PM from a guy the same age as my sons I usually ask them if their Dad is single, and will he introduce me. But they always hang up too quick. Darn! Maybe they don't want Dad as competition? OK...I'll be quiet now, and go back to being my shy little self. Have fun all.

alternative to birth control... removing my uterus? Posted: 1/18/2006 8:52:48 PM
The best alternative to removing your uterus is having a tubal ligation (tubes tied). That is a painless procedure, and doesn't require a long recovery period like a hysterectomy will. Having your uterous removed is not a good alternative at all. As a matter of fact, that is a very BAD alternative, unless it is done as a medical necessity to save your life. A hysterectomy is major surgery, and hurts like hell. It also requires a recover period of 4 - 6 months. I know, they say less, but it takes that long to get your life back together after it too. If you want to know more about hysterectomy, check out the website hystersisters.com It's a support group for women going through a hysterectomy. Believe me, it isn't an "easy way out" to be used for birth control. Contrary to your statement [/ if the uterus is only good for carrying a child to term and i have no plans on ever using it again, why keep it, especially if it will solve my dilema and help me to avoid the impending birth control disaster? ] the uterous does more than that, and removing it can have some very serious complications. Why do it the hard way, when you can do it the easy way with tubal ligation? That is day surgery, and you are back to work in a couple of days....with no side effects. Do some research, and check with a couple of Drs. before making a decision. Good luck.

Brothers wife has breast cancer, how long until the end? Posted: 1/18/2006 8:28:46 PM
Sammysalt1, I am so very sorry to hear of your poor sister in law, and my heart goes out to her and to your family. I have been through this with both friends and relatives, and the best I can suggest is ... don't wait to find out how long she has left. Make every moment she has left the best possible. Don't wait til "the end" to tell her or show her how much you care...do it as often as you can now. That goes for all members of the family, of course. On another note, if someone in the family is "crafty" putting together a scrap book for her with pictures of the family with good memories and fun times would be a thoughtful gift. Another suggestion, if one is uncomfortable talking to her about the prolems, remember, she is more uncomfortable, so let her talk about it if she wants, but don't push her if she doesn't want to talk about it. Your brother is going to need your strength and support now too, so be available for him when he needs you. Don't let a little distance to the hospital stand in your way of making this time comfortable for both your sister in law and your brother. Most times, just being there is enough....talking isn't always necessary. You are right...it happens to everyone, yet life goes on...even after the pain of loss. Be strong, and take care.

8 yr old landlord Posted: 1/16/2006 7:57:00 PM
Sounds like it is time for Joe to take control of his own home. Why would they wait until 7 or 8 at night to tell the kid to go home? He should be sent home at the first sign of inappropriate behaviour. He should also be watched to make sure he does actually go home and not hang around the property. Take him home if necessary. If Joe and his wife are firm about sending him away regularily, he will soon learn what kind of behaviour will get him booted out. Make sure, though, that he is told why he is being sent away...that it is his behaviour they don't like, not him. It isn't up to Joe's family to supervise this child instead of the grandparents doing it, but they have every right to set the limits they will accept in their own home. Tough thing to deal with. I raised 4 kids, and often had a few "troubled" friends visiting and staying with us. Kids are smarter than we give them credit for. It really doesn't take long for them to figure out what is acceptable and what isn't. They will walk all over you if you let them...the trick is....don't let them. Good luck to Joe and his family.

I was out with a couple of gal friends Fri. night. We decided to stop in for coffee, but couldn't recall which coffee place. There was no one at The Black Stilt from PoF, so we went by Serious on Blanchard...the house was dark. Sorry we missed you. Maybe this Friday if we know who is going to be where....

What words can i use or say to bring my wife back home Posted: 12/12/2005 2:53:31 AM
I'll throw my 2 cents in for what it's worth. allfun you said "i would not tell her a thing i would treat her like a queen" in your first post. Yet in your last couple you have described stalking, yelling and swearing at your ex. You have not done what you said you would, so why would she want to come back to you? I worry that if you talked like that to her throughout your marriage, how do you talk to your children? Are you really looking for a solution to your problem? Or are you just looking for someone to sympathize with your situation and tell you what you want to hear? The simple answer to your question "What words can i use or say to bring my wife back home" is: THERE ARE NO WORDS It's been over a month now allfun. What have you done to show her you will change? What have you done to make her want to come back? Nothing that I can see. Get some distance from the situation. Leave her alone. Learn to manage your anger, and not take it out on her with verbal abuse. Oh...and get some help for your children. They don't deserve to be caught up in this. Of course they are going to tell you they don't want to be with her. It could be they are afraid you will verbally abuse them, so they tell you what you want to hear. If you love them, get them into counselling.

At What Age Should...... Posted: 11/8/2005 5:08:51 PM
He does hide when making a BM then he tries to change his own dipar. not a pretty thing to deal with! Sounds like he has been made to feel embarassed by having a BM. That tends to set them back a bit. Just remind him that he isn't "bad" for doing it, he just had a little accident. But no matter what...remind him you love him anyway. My biggest piece of advice in parenting....never tell a child s/he is "bad" just because s/he does something you may not approve of. His action maybe be bad...but s/he never is! The secret to good parenting......Love...love...love...and more love.... It's all worth it!
