What's on your mind?

To stop the hiccups: hold your breath and swallow for as many times as it takes to regain control of the diaphragm.

I've never NOT been able to control the hiccups with this method. I can't remember how I found it out, I just know it works.

Some people like the idea of love. But they don't know how to love or be loved in return.

This. This right here speaks with a POW.

Wow, how about when some gorgeous woman seems to be like really looking at you on the trolley ride, but your're like nah, she's just seated facing my direction. And then right before she gets off at her stop, she stops at the door, looks back right at you and gives this beautiful smile...and all you can do is smile back...and she's gone... most likely never to be seen again.

Ugghhh man, this literally just happened to me on the way to work...and I haven't even had my coffee.

Lord have mercy, what have I done?

Note to self: Next time you think you want to start a thread, just post a video in Singles, or some passing, snide comment in the politics forums and be done with it. You're an introvert. Just accept it.

Oh, how wonderfully insightful - please, do tell me more.

By the way, do you have any credible references for your fatuous claims? Hmm?

There's nothing wrong with your thread. The topic is good. Rousing people from their slumber will ruffle feathers. Don't waver.

Much of your pain is self-chosen. It is the bitter potion by which the physician within
you heals your sick self. Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy
in silence and tranquility: For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by
the tender hand of the Unseen... —Kahlil Gibran

Exactly! I like to learn hard lessons several times over. No pain, no gain.

Great quotes! And, thank you for all your insightful comments. I really do appreciate them.

I'm off to ruin a perfectly good ham.

You'll find that a lot of them will have a long history of being roasted in the comments section of the Daily Mail. All they're doing here is handing down the misery.

There are a LOT of decent folk in these threads too (most of them ARE to be fair), it's just that the obnoxious ones happen to shout the loudest.

Of course, all I saw was outer beauty ..she could've been a she devil inside...so I guess it worked out alright...unless...

Glad I could help. Have fun!

Mate, honestly, the amount of idiocy on this site is baffling when it comes to politics.

I've noticed my Dad believing more and more what he reads online assuming it's true.

I have to tread carefully here haha

Some people like the idea of love. But they don't know how to love or be loved in return.

Maybe they're a bit bruised and battered from their experiences in life. It can take a lot of time, effort, and love to repair a damaged soul. Others have never really learned to love another person, and perhaps just need a chance.

If you think the Mail is bad, you should see the bitterness below-the-line in the Graun. I read quite a large number of reader comments on many different news platforms, because I think you can learn a lot about public sentiment, and the reader comments often provide a lot more insight than the article itself. I even read Owen Jones' Twitter feed sometimes, although that's mostly for entertainment and comedic value. It's also interesting to see what is opened to comments (nearly nothing on the Graun, and almost everything on the Mail).

Stasis is a choice as is brokenness. We can be maimed and choose to heal or remain where we are. I've helped many move beyond that place and rebooted myself a time or two.

Those who've never learned must want to change and be willing to step outside their comfort zone. You need a lot of patience and thick skin to deal with them. I've done my tenure with them too.

My project days are behind me. I like simplicity and wholeness.

No way, man. Girls are cool.

Girls are downright awesome, and that's exactly the problem.

The equation was perfectly balanced in the beginning...and then Eve came along. It's almost like God purposely wanted to unbalance it so that men will never know what to expect and to keep us on our toes.

Anyhoo....really looking forward to Thanksgiving. Thinking of whipping up a batch of my award-winning Texas salsa.

I would expect you to grasp the meaning behind it. Your capacity to love is great. The ferocity exists in all seasons. You don't hold back or play it safe. That's why I like you.

If you remember our thread, only five embodied the same: Me, you, Kat, Katrina, and Megan. I've met one since that time; Jamie. No one else.

A most formidable quintet of ladies, it sounds like, and I would probably be wise to presume it. ^-^

They're a special lot. @cara-mia and Kat are the friends I've loved the most. Katrina and Jamie were part of the group who stood with me during my spiritual attack.

On a heart level, they go deep like cara and I. Their expressions were beautiful. They knew how to love fearlessly. That's rare to find.
