Cold and sunny here all day. Nice.

Count your blessings.

How about Vendaway? Wend away without the W.......

<t>It's hard not to agree with RedGlitter on this one because we see examples of irresponsible men all around us. However, we also see women with multiple children by multiple fathers and none in residence, then you have to wonder why the mother didn't take responsibility herself for contraception r...

Tigerlily

And you are?

I hope you have someone in your life who loves you enough to go to extremes for you.

<t>My friend's daughter's friend(!) was discovered by her parents to have posted pics of herself unclothed on the internet at the age of 14. They took away her fishtank as punishment. It's an interesting conundrum. She hadn't been 'groomed', she made no money, she didn't mind being looke...

<t>People kill because they like to. Children torture animals because they like to. Legal systems seem to ignore the rights of normal people to go about their business with their children and themselves unmolested, as do apologists for murderers. As a mother I would have done exactly what...

Tigerlily

You haven't mentioned your financial situation and I hope you have enough income to support yourself and your child. Men can be toads - but if you have enough money you can do without them well enough and bring your child up to be decent - unlike his father.

Good luck.

10/16. not bad for mostly guesses.

<t>Mothering Sunday in the UK is three weeks before Easter, during Lent. It started because children who were sent out as servants were allowed that one day in the year to visit their mothers. They would take her violets or other Spring flowers they picked along the way, and a 'wheaten' cake, becaus...

Tigerlily

Sounds like you are having a jolly good time!:)

Tigerlily

<t>I've read all the preceding posts and nobody has said the word 'faith'. Trying to prove the truth of the bible after all these centuries is a complete waste of time. It should be taken as an allegory. References which plainly apply to a primitive society living in a desert (and which usually invo...

All that plucking out of hair makes my eyes water!

It's on a golf course. Wouldn't you be worried about golfballs breaking windows?

Liverpoolean? If that's what you think he called himself you didn't understand him at all.

Tigerlily

Dead people's tut - yuk.

Tigerlily

<t>I hope you make the decision that is right for you, Notoday. What a friend of mine says is that you're a long time dead. Don't waste this precious life on something that is wrong for you. Ending a relationship is difficult and upsetting, but it is possible to do it and come through the other side...

Tigerlily

<t>I'm Church of England and I'm earning about twice as much as I was earning last year. That's because I put my hourly accountancy rates up and do more hours. I managed it without Scientology, but if I keep it up, I'll be able to afford to be a Scientologist. One of the defining things a...

My mother said if a man ever hits me to make sure I hit him back ten times as hard, and always have money tucked away that he doesn't know about.

This was on my marriage to a person of another culture. Invaluable words. I shall pass them on to my daughter.

Tigerlily

<t>A language problem, I suspect. All his women seem to come from different countries. Apart from the two Swedish women, that is. So there'd be a mother-in-law from Wales, Ireland, two from Sweden, one from America (that girl was a marine, apparently!!), one from Moscow and one from some...

Tigerlily

<t>I think my brother-in-law would like to be a Mormon. At 56 still revoltingly attractive and currently dating a 36 year-old Russian lass who deserves better, he totters from woman to woman, procreating all the way. His women overlap but it would have saved him enormous time and money if he could h...

Tigerlily

<t>Has anyone read 'The Valley of Fear', written by Conan Doyle? A contemporary novel and there's nothing equitable about the situation as described at all. Polygamy is so basic. It's just about men wanting variety in sexual partners and dressing it up as a religious imperative so people ...

Tigerlily

<t>A few hundred yards up from the Thames, and after days of deluges, we are still under a hosepipe ban!! Thames Water (owned by a German firm) have made oodles of profit and my garden looks like a mudbath, after looking like a desert all summer. I hope they manage the blessed rain better...

Tigerlily

<t>She was a very irritating and embarrassing woman who was badly treated and didn't have the wits to cope with it with dignity. Even if they didn't do for her I bet they heaved a huge sigh of relief when they heard the news. a week before she died she was photographed whizzing around on ...

Those statistics about Utah are fascinating. They might be putting a brave face on their situation, but it's obviously all show.

<t>My boss, at 60 and with a medical history which requires him to take all sorts of drugs, had the flu jab and his body reacted by covering him with psoriasis, not a very common reaction but recorded. This was a month ago and his skin is just getting back to normal. he says he's not goin...

I liked the way it started so seriously, and he kept the same tone of voice all the way through.

Tigerlily

<t>Who was it said that religion is the opium of the masses? I've always thought that people in countries where they riot about religion just don't have enough to do. Perhaps the Devil making work for idle hands? I'm too busy earning a living and looking after my family to be making bombs...

Tigerlily

<t>While bigamy is a crime in the UK, in order to placate the Muslims, there are tax credits for 'multiple spouses'. So you can get tax relief for committing a crime. Look up the FAQ section on the Inland Revenue website. Any polygamist culture demeans women. It reduces them to nothing mo...

I had heard that Australians were having a real problem with lack of water from a friend with rels in Adelaide. Hope the Ozzies do a better job of catching it and hanging on to it than Thames Water.

Tigerlily

<t>I haven't looked in here for ages, being discouraged from posting because nobody ever replies to me! I can see that friendship groups develop, but as a relative newcomer to what looked like a lively site fairly free from unpleasantness, I've been disappointed in the lack of response. P...

In the same position. Googled Lost Series 3 and got a site called tv-4-u which says you can download from it. Suspect that we'll be able to rent it from Amazon shortly.

Tigerlily

<t>The trouble with men - even the most intelligent ones - is they are inclined to turn into boring old farts as they get older, which is why rambling clubs etc are full of middle-aged women who don't want to fester in front of the telly for the rest of their mobile lives. So I suppose if...

Tigerlily

<t>a colleague says the best thing to do is get the DVDs and watch the episodes one after the other, so clues are fresh in your mind and you can see which ones the writers have dug themselves into a hole with and just quietly drop! As well as being able to link things you missed the first...

Tigerlily

<t>My mother always told us that our local river was deep and treacherous and we were to be very careful when anywhere near it. I think I must have been about 45 when I realised, on a visit home, that some chaps were messing about in a rowing boat and one was standing up to his waist in the river.<b...

<t>Cindy & Naty - 'Bore the pants off other people' is a better phrase than bother other people. Actions speak louder than words, and Jesus' teachings, to me, seem to lean heavily towards the 'loving your neighbour as yourself' and doing a bit of good in the world, rather than ranting on about s...

Tigerlily

<t>Bought my stepdaughter in Oz some red ones - not cheap there! I don't fancy them because they remind me of plastic sandals we used to wear as children and when you got sand in them they rubbed your feet raw, and the sand would be really diffucult to get off them. Haven't seen them in U...

Domination of the world, plotted by women topping up their mascara. I like it...........

Tigerlily

<t>I am a regular churchgoer in the Church of England and we all work together for the good of our community and I'm happy to say, that apart from the services, Jesus and God and prodding other people's internal goings-on just doesn't happen. I think the same as Elizabeth I when it comes ...

Tigerlily

<t>In answer to William Ess - security. For the same reason I married my husband once I was pregnant with our child - to ensure my rights, and my child's, should anything happen to him, so his daughters by his first marriage would have no claim on our house. It's outrageous how people beh...

If an intelligent woman really wants a man who wants a dim woman to be a domestic drudge, she'll be bright enough to act simple then marry him and pay for a cleaner. But why should she.................

Tigerlily

<t>the trouble with these long posts is I can never be bothered to read all the pages, so hope no-one else has made a similar point. Me and my pal Sally are considering getting married when we've both become widows - hopefully not for another 20 years or so. It's common sense for a couple...

Tigerlily

As women get older they realise it's a waste of time having unrealistic expectations of men.

But I have to say I like a man with a bit of devil in him - only a bit, mind. Too nice...........yawn.

Tigerlily

<t>I wasn't depressed, but would suffer from anxiety attacks. Took SJW over a period of months - at vast expense - and according to my husband I was much more cheerful, and could certainly cope adequately with what had been making me anxious. A good laugh works wonders too. I'm not being ...

Tigerlily

funny how it's always men who feel the need to start these bizarre societies. Women presumably too busy putting food on the table and doing the washing.

Tigerlily

What is the rapture? According to someone called Ysreal the world was supposed to have ended on 12th Sept. We are still here, and I'm only glad I didn't agree to let my daughter have a tattoo on the basis that it would never happen because none of us would be here.

I met a psychologist on a recent trip to Australia, who refers to her patients as mad bastards.

Tigerlily

Not sure about steam vaccuum cleaners, but we have a hand-held one and it's wonderful for getting grot out of the rugs and upholstery.

Tigerlily

Well said. And I suspect if a similar offer of money to go and live in the US were made, all principles would be abandoned and they'd be queuing up.
