What's on your mind?

[Tom Mix]

Not to make lite of my last post but I also want an In and Out Burger in my area.

Within 10 years I want to see the return of Jesus and I want to see Him ruling this world from His seat in Israel.

I want to see our governments bow down before Him and promise our allegiance to Him so that we may be restore to our place in Heaven.

Even though I am not good enough to be in His presents I want to go before Him and proclaim my love for Him and that I want to do His will as I know it is also the Fathers will and I want to please both of them.

I want to see our military structures destroyed so there is no longer conflict and no longer war.

O snap, this was suppose to be in the next 10 years post.

I love the lace and cutout. (I'm not sure about the bow).Overall the dress suits you really well. Do you model dresses from different eras? I think my favorite are retro inspired styles from the 1940's-50's.

Very pretty, you make that dress look beautiful.

You back shot is amazing.

God is someday going to give you to a great man as only a great man is deserving of somebody so beautiful.

 

[Elizabeth8393]

This has only been the third time modelling for me, and the other dresses were more gala style dresses, as far as era goes I have no idea what they'd be classified as.

I thank you for your high praise.

I liked the bow, which was a huge surprise to me as i don't even like wearing the color white, lol!

As I told Tom, I have no idea what eras the dresses come from that I modeled in previously. But I know this one is an 80's style dress.

Lol, I agree. I have very few white outfits. I think the bow was very interesting, but I'd be curious to see what it looked like without it. (I thought maybe the lace and shape of the dress would stand out more without). I will say though that it definitely catches your eye and is a bold statement. Either way, I thought the dress was very nice

 

[Elizabeth8393]

For at the weddings that never happened I'm blessed to be able to shine in this moment, wearing white, and being able to dream about when this moment will happen for real.

That was my Facebook status update for the event.

Thank you for the compliment.

Elizabeth, you are beautiful! Lovely dress too.

What is the difference
Between your experience of Existence
And that of a saint?

The saint knows
That the spiritual path
Is a sublime chess game with God
And that the Beloved
Has just made such a Fantastic Move
That the saint is now continually
Tripping over Joy
And bursting out in Laughter
And saying, “I Surrender!”

Whereas, my dear,
I am afraid you still think
You have a thousand serious moves.

Hāfez, I Heard God Laughing: Poems of Hope and Joy

I rather like Hāfez.

I also need to work on my pace, it's not running if you're dawdling.

I think my parents kind of did me a dis-service by not allowing me to date until I left home (at almost 18.) Here I am in college with almost no relationship experience, and very little idea of what's normal...

 

[sundewgrower]

Honestly I am in the same boat but never found anybody worth dating. Now I don't have the experience minus one friend.. Can I have the topics I do with this friend (highly doubt it since its a good but unusal one.) with a prospective date? Well. Hmm. No experience.. So not an easy deal.
Normal isn't always good though and if its not normal maybe its better than what most consider standard...
I think dating can hurt and damage if not properly done but can be enlightening. Personally. I don't see it as a disservice (had nobody to date and was told I couldn't until 18 anyways) but I do see the lack of decent female friends to be a detriment. But I'm a guy, so a few years behind most girls in some ways, and so the pressure to date wasn't as strong when I was 18 as now. I'm hoping to test the water and see what friend I can meet. Past that. I don't really see dating as positive or negative in some ways.. I'll probably do it differently and it might be to my benefit that I lack formal expeince.

 

[TheGirlOnFire]

Nah Grace am nearly 30 and I've dated my fair share of boys since I was like 11, and I still don't know NOTHING at all.... that's normal.. Just one tip go with your gut if you feel like something isn't right it usually is.

Sometimes I feel like going zzzzzzzzzzzz............................................................... that is all

 

[sundewgrower]

Well I thought I had all my stuff backed up to Google's 100gb plan but it wasn't.
I have a ton of photos I've been taking, and sending to a friend. Lots of photos from her of food, places, and people. I think I got it all ironed out.
Then for music I'm enjoying some songs from Mercy Me and a few others with a $12 pair of Chinese earbuds I just got that rival $30+ pairs.
( weird note but I like to sample cheaper things from China, and if they're excellent then it may be ordered as a gift later...)
I don't listen to much of anything but a dozen or so praise and worship songs but it's growing slowly. I can get them for free, but I figure I might as well develop a habit of buying the songs or albums on Google Music to support the artists. Seems like my smart phone is definitely becoming increasingly important with business, entertainment, and everything else. Weird.. I've only had one for two years, and now it's turned into this. I am debating on if I should get a larger phone, but then it'll be a "Phablet" which I don't want. My bad vision says I should, but I'm happy with what I have, and yet don't want to get hunch back from not being able to easily see the phone..
Overall since there is nothing to do here in Hawai'i a lot of packages come & go my way for business, or sometimes to play with. Normally it's small purchases, as I'd rather play with some rickety piece of junk I built then refine than just buy it, and not know how it works.

Now it's cheap Arduino/micrcontroller stuff for my DIY PM2.5, PM10, temperature, humidity, and otherwise random "internet of things" data logger with an OLED screen for easily viewing. Our air spikes to 60 to 70 uG/m^3 out here for Pm 2.5, and sometimes twice that for PM10 according to my $45 sensor.. Provided the particle counter which feature an intake fan, laser counting system, serial communication, and particle separator works like the Chinese company says it does. Might even be worth selling the thing. Not sure how accuracy, certification, or etc would sell or be merited.

Ah to keep busy, not feel like a stupid looser, and to somehow realize what I do is seen as good. Ugh. I'm a nerd sometimes, but not usually. I'm a business man but only part time. I'm also a botanist, pyro guy, mechanic, and many other things depending on what I'm doing. Sometimes I work within .003" tolerances, do jewelry work, and etc. Other times it's crude things involving fire, large saws, and other ridiculous yet effective things even if they're total overkill.

I seem to subjectively wear many different hats depending on how I feel and what I have to do.

I find it so annoying since I never want to feel full of myself and whatever little ego I had blew up some time ago. But I am earning decent money for my age, I am educated, and am told I am not bad to look at.. But without many people to be around you end up questioning everything you even though what you're doing is alright, and not a bad deal.

Preach it girl! I have had four relationships and all I know is what didn't work but at the same time some of those things were the guy's fault. I still don't know a lot of things about relationships, or even getting into one, as all of mine were gone about the wring way anyway.

But you have to think about this too. What's normal for you, eg. meeting someone online and getting into a long distance relationship, may not be normal for say me, eg. prefers knowing the man in person through every step of the relationship process.

The only norms that it should adhere to are those found in Scripture. Are you showing love towards one another, abstaining from sexual sin, practicing the fruits of the spirit, keeping God at the center, etc.?

I didn't have my first boyfriend until I was 19, and my last one ended 7.5 months ago. It'll be 8 on the 19th of this month.

As far as affection take it slow and easy, but not to the point of mental and emotional frustration. Each couple has their own pace, and if he is your mate or life and you are his, you'll have more than enough time to delight in the little things before the big things.

Lol, yeah. I can go to the beach for a week and not tan or burn, meanwhile my S.O. is a ginger and goes through enough sunscreen for the both of us.

My "tan" is such a small difference you couldn't tell unless you look at a tanline.

I tan fine, but I can burn if not careful...
I did a long hike and was 14,000 feet up.. I burned so badly that even my scalp peeled.
My Arab, Indian, and Caucasian friend didn't in the slightest...

I am half Italian, so I tan up ok

Well well. Looks like we've got enough people to fit across the entire spectrum of tanability.

 

[MehGuy]

I can tan extremely well. Most likely due to my Native American ancestors on my Mother's side. Although my Mother is pasty and always burns when she goes outside.

Since I tan well and already have strong Semitic features, people always assume I'm Jewish.

You'd be amazed how being 1/8 Jew can transfer over.
Get it a lot, but it's so little yet has a strong effect.

I had my first concussion yesterday, and it was really hard to go through that. It was only a minor one, but the headaches and dizziness while being at work made it all the harder to deal with it. :/

Yikes. You should probably get that checked out and make sure everything is okay.
