A new "meh" thread folks . . feel free to vent . . .

Tim: How does it feel to be 26?

Tim: Well, you know, you’re getting old. You’d be dead in four years . . .if this was Logan’s Run.
Daisy: Ah, that’d be terrible.
Tim: I know, I’d look like a twat in a jumpsuit.
Daisy: Don’t say that, Tim. That’s a word that hates women.
Tim: What, twat?
Daisy: No, jumpsuit.

Edited the title.

Following from the previous "Meh" thread....
Kim, I know you understand about people not coming to see a show. You pour your heart & soul into a performance, & some people can't be bothered just sitting in a seat & supporting your efforts. They don't understand!!

As for finding "Mr Right", I stopped looking some years ago. As I've mentioned on this forum before, only freaky weirdos & emotionally-stunted wrecks with issues, ever pay any romantic attention to me. I don't want guys like that. Nice sweet normal guys just don't see me in that way. So, I'm stuck; a spinster, going mouldy on the shelf of romance. All alone.

I'll shut up now.

Feel the (lonely) love.
dolfyn.

Well I won't argue that it was a no-holds-barred adrenaline-fuelled thrill-ride, but there's no way you could perpetrate that amount of carnage & mayhem & not incur a considerable amount of paperwork.

Well, I think you're a pretty special gal and I wouldn't give up completely on romance . . it just may come and fall into your lap just when you least expect it . . . keep an open heart and an open mind . . and, for the time being, revel in being a beautiful, talented Singleton ( as Bridget Jones might say )

Since there's been a new thread started, I'd like to say "thanks" to people who commented on my original post. Actually, it's the anxiety that troubles me more than the possibility of spinsterhood. I'm really tired, so hope I made sense. Time for bed now.

I heard about that It's just not real consistent to allow those that got married during that timeframe to "remain married" but yet somehow say that it's not okay for any other gay people to get married. It's real frustrating.

Frustrating and completely ridiculous. Because the track record for heterosexual marriage is so good these days. Around 50 percent of them end in divorce, right? I don't think same-sex unions can be blamed for "eroding the sanctity of marriage" when men and women are doing that just fine on their own.

I've come to the conclusion that I can't watch the news with my mother anymore. Ever since the election, it's been constant anti-Obama rhetoric from her (even during the Memorial Day concert). Now she's railing against the Supreme Court nominee Sotomayor who can't possibly be American because her last name isn't "Smith," and gay couples who shouldn't be allowed to marry nor adopt children (yeah, because being in a household with two loving parents would be horrible). I try to remind myself that she grew up in a time when segregation was the norm and gay marriage was unheard of, but the constant intolerant venom is getting on my last nerve.

I wish I wasn't such a naysayer.

Well put

I don't understand how lawmakers don't see this as the plainest form of discrimination out there. Why does it matter if gay couples get married and reap the same benefits as traditional couples. For a society that prides themselves on being so forward we have gone back several decades with this decision. It makes no sense to me.

Reminds me of a conversation in my anatomy class we had not too long ago.
My teacher was telling us cases of the women who had the most children. One woman had 15 sets of triplets! The guy behind me asked loudly, "Was she from India?... Or Utah?"

*Hugs for everyone's woes*

Sis: I'm so sorry Trent and I can't make it to your show. We really wanted to come and tried to re-arrange things a few times to make it work, but the timing has just been completely sucky.
Sorry to hear other people couldn't come too.


Re the gay marriage stuff: Gay marriage should be recognised in law. End of story.
Wish Australia would get our act together on that front too.


Anxiety: Sorry to those suffering from it. I have low-level anxiety issues and it completely sucks!
Sometimes I find that I'm getting anxious and when I stop to figure out why...there is no reason at all! (I don't mean, I'm getting anxious over silly little things which shouldn't casuse anxiety - because that happens all the time - I mean there is actually NOTHING! Not even a silly little thing.) It's almost like it's a subconscious bad habit or something. Ick!


Glenn: Maybe you're just being realistic and/or honest?
I've often been accused of being negative when I'm actually just being realistic (or perhaps a little pessimistic, but usually with good reason)


Being single: to those who are single and unhappy about it, I'm sorry to hear it. I am always worried about saying too much on this subject because I don't want to sound like some "smug-married" spouting opinions about something I know nothing about.
The only thing I can say is based on observations of some of my close friends which is this:

It's never too late! Even if you're 50yo and haven't found love yet, maybe you shouldn't give up yet.
But, keep in mind: it's pretty unlikely that love will just fall into your lap. You will have to work damned hard to find someone and then damned hard to make the relationship work. So be prepared to put in the hard yards.
However - I honestly think it's worth it. It's worth going to a million singles websites and a hundred bars and lots of blind dates, even if 99% of them end with either no-one or with bastards. Surely it's worth going through all of that if you find the love of your life at the end of it all?

Even if it takes 5 or 10 years of hard slog to find someone - isn't that worth it for the remaining 50 years (or more) of your life that you get to spend with someone you love?



Phew - sorry, I'm full of opinions today!
How about just some hugs to finish it all off

No worries, Sis. We've already had this conversation, & you're the only one of those who pulled out of coming, who has a legitimate excuse. So while it's disappointing you can't be there, I'm not at all annoyed with you.




Problem is, half the reason I want to be with someone is so I can have kids too. If it takes 10 years to find "Mr Right", my chances of having kids would be pretty remote. Anyway, as I've said before, it's only freaky weirdos & emotional basket-cases that pay any possible romantic attention to me. All the nice decent guys I've met have never viewed me in "that way", or are already taken. It seems I'm doomed to continue to roam the land alone & lonely.
So, that's why I fill up my time with other stuff to keep my mind off it. It's just that I occasionally get overwhelmed by my buried feelings of loneliness & rejection, & I have a whinge.

Feel the (lonely) love.
dolfyn.
