What's on your mind?

Everything seemed okay with her approach and what was happening until I read the last couple paragraphs, they were alarming. I don't think she resolved red flags that she saw initially with her husband if I'm reading it right.

The article doesn’t say. I think the point was her concerns were offset by his desire for exclusivity and they stuck it out and made it work.

I don't know what part makes me sick. They are chewable and I don't mind the chewing, but once it hits my stomach it doesn't agree with me.

Try having some crackers beforehand. They’ll line your stomach and don’t take them before you’ve eaten.

I'm still on the liquid stage, so I'm wondering if that's why. They are chalky, and I mostly eat pureed/liquid foods.

Why don’t you blend them with the other instead? That might work.

Thanks for reading the article, yes it didn't see anything in the article that says it. But I think personally myself I don't think I could marry someone who's a drinker.

There’s going to be a vice or two and you want him to admit it. Many won’t if they think they’ll lose you. It’s best to hold your tongue and address it lovingly. Sharing your struggles will allow him to do the same.

I remember a man at church who gave his testimony. He was in bible college studying to be a pastor and attended a school with a morality clause. I knew what it said. I was going to take classes in the past. Everyone has to sign it. Including employees.

He admitted he had a 3 1/2 year addiction to pornography and was struggling to quit. And he’s preparing to be a shepherd. That’s a probable culprit for most.

Squeaky clean is rarely that. They’re the ones with double lives and heart stopping revelations. The kind that become Lifetime specials.

Choose the flaw you can live with.

Been a long day. The highlight probably was running into an old friend from when I was 19 years old. He came to the same agency to work some years ago. We were in class together and grouped into a smaller class. He brought up an old memory of a car chase. He remembered the details a little bit differently.

We became friends through a mutual contact from a group that hung out at the beach at night. I was 18 years old working at a laser light show and would go there without my parents knowing before my midnight curfew. I think he kind of liked me but I let him down gently and we were friends. He introduced me to some other guys that were adventurous like us. So when I came home from the Army for a couple weeks I liked hanging out with the boys and having fun. Since we were under 21, they knew of a club on the south side of Chicago. The friend was driving my car and another friend was in the backseat. We had an hour to kill before the club was to open. As we pulled up to a traffic light, I could feel someone in the car next to us looking at me. They pulled their car in front of us, three big guys got out. I yelled to my friend to floor it and to go. I ducked down just in case they had guns. They chased us for a while and my friend was driving on the wrong side of the highway. He made some turns, and after a couple turns and traffic lights we lost them. We never made it to the club and I had no desire to try to find it again. I asked him today, what the reason was that he was in the wrong lane. He said it was because he was hoping the cops would see us and he could flag them down. Smart thinking.

Although I can say that I've been in a car chase, it's not something I'd ever want to experience again. I'm glad to be alive today. And I'm sure my friend is and his children and his wife.

You've given me some food for thought.

Clicked a link last night from CF that led to Reddit. You could tell it was late and common sense was having a snooze. Read the thread and skimmed the forum. I’m a glutton for punishment. Found another and clicked. Why stop now?

It was an article about trad wives. The men were raging and I saw it elsewhere in a woman’s forum. And they were mad too. Reading their comments was painful. They ran the gamut from hustling (to be a full-time wife and mother) and cosplay to a fetish (for identical reasons). Dumbing down is real.

All jokes aside, its evident we’re in need of a serious reboot. There’s so much mistrust among the sexes and the other is the enemy. How can they come together?

What do you do when you need something from a client, you keep asking, but you don't hear anything? I need this paperwork from them but hear crickets.

Ha ha, I was thinking the same thing. There's a serious divide between single men & single women.

Seriously. I can’t stretch my brain that far! They got me on cosplay. How do you cosplay marriage and family when you’re really married with children and sharing your traditional values with others?

As for coupling, they’re afraid of each other. They like the idea of pairing but they’re scared and fill their head with morbid nonsense.

I just got one of the biggest compliments. I have no idea why she says this, and I really get to see her but once a year. But a coworker said while we were leaving our training she doesn't understand why I work here and that I should have taken up modeling. When I responded thank you that's the sweetest thing. She looked at me and basically said she was not kidding just look in the mirror. That's so sweet of her. I think she's the only person who has told me that besides a lancome specialist many years ago. You just never know how your kindness and your words can affect others. And she should know since she is a cancer survivor. Both of us at the same time didn't have our hair and had to wear wigs.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I was mainly thinking you have a lot of these girls into hyper-feminism & these guys are seeing 'death to the patriarchy' & stuff like that in these girls' Tinder bios & going 'what the heck.' You'd be surprised at all these Tinder bios w/ girls having that. There is a huge divide.

I deleted Tinder a year ago tho. It was useless & it sent me porn in junk emails, 50 a day.

Just like when I observed a few weeks ago here about the person who told me how nice and easygoing she thought I was (and another since then, about one week ago, whom I've known for a while, thankfully said the same), apparently. And kindness and gentility is what I desire to be known for; it's so much better than the opposite, which is the darkness of bitterness and anger. These two people have really lightened my days recently thanks to their gracious and encouraging words, whether deserved or not. And it sounds like this good-natured coworker of yours has done the same for you, Miss Sampa, in telling you how beautiful you are.

If I may dare say, I would imagine that your appearance has both a calming and inspiring effect on most people you come across, going by all of your observations about the world and your interactions with others in your offline life that you've given on here. Just from what we your friends the CF singles folks can see about you and your life beyond this site, that is the kind of beauty that I imagine you have. It is that which either helps tranquilize the spirits of those who may currently be in some sort of disarray or chaos when they see and socialize with you to any degree, or it inspires other people who may be feeling down and out to get back up and start living life more fully (and also more selflessly).
That's just what I can see of you from my vantage point.

I have just received the news that my cousin Jenny's (everyone in my generation on my father's side turned out to be girls, against pretty good odds ) son Ben, who is now fourteen, I believe, had gone to ER for pneumonia last night. She says he is home now, but is feeling weak. Please pray that he will be healed soon, and no further complications will arise.

I’m sorry if I confused you. I was expounding on my previous post.

In respect to your comment, I’ve seen them and its unfortunate they’ve jumped on that bandwagon. We are the fairer sex and our warfare differs and shouldn’t mimic men.

The arguments and debates erode her softness and bring coarseness in its place and there’s always an edge. Reductions in femininity usually follow. She’s always in battle mode and he’s the target. They fear men unless they have control and the upper hand.

It’s difficult to find a woman with a gentle and quiet spirit. Someone who doesn’t want to be a man, compete with him, or usurp him either. She’s content with her place and his and God’s design. We need more of the same.

who told me how nice and easygoing she thought I was

That's a very nice compliment and I'm glad that you got it. I'm sure it's true.

That's great. Words to make a difference.

both a calming and inspiring

It's possible. I haven't heard that before except inspiration. I have been told in difficult circumstances that I have patience. For example when dealing with certain kinds of customer service for someone else. In a group of people, I'm usually the one in the back of the room. The independent one and I don't always sit with others that I know. I like observing the room and the people in it. But I will sometimes find myself being observed. For example today there was a guy that seemed like he wanted to make a connection and that he could see my intelligence. But after lunch his demeanor changed, and I wondered if he saw me drive over to the other building to have lunch with his department heads wife. We've been some friends for years. She's also in a higher position but far away from where her husband works. Sometimes Blue collar people will become suspicious of you if you have white collar relationships. And even the fact that I work at what they call the glass Palace.

I think it really depends on the audience, how people perceive me at work right now is totally different in the environment that I work in. Before some years ago I was working in what would be like a junior high school environment whereas now I work and what would be a grad school in environment. As far as maturity level.

that is the kind of beauty that I imagine you have.

I will take that compliment and thank you.
