I find it hard to imagine any person forgetting you, Jess!

Hum.

Some people believe that love will conquer all.

Ask a person which would one prefer, love or money? They will choose love.

Espectially in a forum, a dating one.

I think your statement needed some weight behind it, but still, I'll beef it up for you.

A relationship where there is one partner who is financially solvent and one not, for me will not work.

I don't want to support a person, I don't want them living in my home.

If a man has not similar ethics to me, then I am not going to be interested.

I could not love a man who did nothing, who was massively in debt through irresponsibility.

I use Skypw, I have an aocount with them and make all my International calls via Skype.

I have excellent sound quality most of the time, no worse than a usual cell phone.

I also have a Skype phone, where I can pick up calls where I am away from tne PC.

Walk me through this one, will you?

I have three children, one of 21, one of 19 and one of 18.

So, by your theory you find that parents who have never spanked their children, are not good parents?

Tell me what a good parent is? What a bad parent is?

And also, you mention that children who are not spanked become spoiled little brats...

I fail to see how complicated this can be.

If a person seeking you, you do not find attractive, then simply say you are not interested.

It's that easy, 'I am not interested, best of luck in your search'

Worrying about what they look like, whether you have little depth to your character, is a waste of time.

Lovely Bonny, Christmas in Barbados!

My daughter is studying in London, then I went to Stratford upon Avon as I have some friends living there and then to the NW, to see my father, who is English.

Fraid I am diametrically opposed to you on this one, sex with Oprah is not blowing my skirt up nor is it on my bucket list.

I just spat my water out in astonishment at that admission.

Why?

Indeed, I love travel, it makes me more tolerant as a person.

Where do you plan to go? I have just returned home from the US, England and Sweden, away for six weeks altogether, school holidays, but I am home in Austria now and know that I cannot get away now until Christmas.

Beautiful and weird at the same time, Bonny.

I have been to Giant's Causeway.

I must, I simply must go to the Ice Hotel here in Austria, now you have inspired me.

One of those things that is so close, but you never get around to doing it and I live 20 minutes from there... An excursion for my students I think.

I find your idea completely bizarre!

Scammers are people, who are brainwashed into sending mass mails to people on places such as these. Free dating sites are packed to the rafters with scammers, and I mean those ones who write not just from overseas, but from probably your country too. They may be looked upon as criminals and with scorn, but I accept that they are here and that we run that risk of running into them, but they are no big deal and treat them as you would junk mail, delete them.

Scammers are easy to deal with, report any scam mail to the moderators, sending them back mails, does not remove them does it? Nor will they probably read it. So, it may you give you some personal satisfaction, frankly I would find it a waste of my time.

As for their 'poor English' Well, that's another topic, I have seen native speakers with terrible written skills in English language.

Hey no worries, this makes sense to me (and I am a foreigner, so it does take me longer)

You have to wait eleven days? Aren't there tests these days that can test immediately?

Your husband, I assume is being treated for his ED?

I am well baffled...

You have not had sex for three months, but then you had sex on the 30th July?

It sounds a load of old carp to me...

I sort of find this odd in two ways...

In that people get themselves mixed up in these situations and then have to ask the question...

Yes, this is why I like it here, I feel and from the mouth propoganda I have had, that the moderators are fair and will inform you when one oversteps the mark, at least then a person has the ability to recover it.

Unlike some places we could mention, eh ladies?

I will say what I think, but if I find something that I know I will say something that may not sit very well with me, I often just walk away.

I like the discussions, I am fond of a lot of threads, ones like these where people can express themselves and be open I do like and of course the ones that I am passionate about and the ones where I learn something.

I'm off for some good lunch now in my garden, weather is beautiful here and it seems a waste to be inside, as wonderful as you gals are...

Well, Jessecles, I couldn't agree more with you...

I have no wish to break rules, but if another decides that I have crossed them, then I would at least like to be given the chance to recover that.

But then, I have been on sites, where there is little censorship and I have still been able to be me.

Without being rude. The only difference there is that, people do not resort to behind the scenes nonsense as they can have it all out in the open and that I much prefer, then they all meet up regularly and no person has a problem.

Hi Bonny

I am filing ma nails, taxing eh?

I completely understand you. In some respects I deal with forum behaviour as I would deal with something face to face, with a person I know and this brings me to my point, that I do feel that many people are cushioned in forums, they have the audience, people can come in and say 'there, there'

Take them out of that safety net and it would be a whole different kettle of fish, they would be lost and unable to handle such a situation.

I have been accused, like you of many things, cold, that I have a superiority complex, I act headmistressy, patronising and aloof.

Thing is, I quite like all of those titles, it keeps people away from me that I would cross the street to avoid.

I am with you in that I am comfortable with who I am, where I am in life, how I look and have none of those hangups and questions that I see with many people, of my age.

Wonderful isn't it?

I really get a great feeling when I watch that...

This makes me smile, clap and jump for joy, I think it is fabulous.

Hi Bonny

I have not been here very long, but I do feel a sense of what you say above, certainly cemented by the few exchanges you and I have had in a topic.

I am fond of the 'yes person' term and that I describe in my 'nice' arena, I have come across those 'yes people' and if that works for them, fabulous, but I do avoid them, because I like a discussion and a one liner does not do much for me in a debate. Even when a person disagrees with me, I can somehow sense that they are a person I would like to have more discussions with.

There are not many topics that I shy away from and for those that know me from another forum, they would nod their heads in agreement, but I cannot control how others feel about my writing.

Ultimately, I can log off, I can walk away with a click of the button. I call it self responsibility, I take what I write as my own, I take responsibility for it and if I have offended any person, I will make good, but if they choose to continue some campaign against me and attempt to discredit me, then I shrug my internet shoulders and sigh 'ah well'

Why I never feel harrassed or stalked, as many I have come across do.

Nice to see you again...
