Wow....this is so interesting. I have just been jumping down the list and must say that you are all such interesting people with very engaging articles and am so glad I happened upon joeuser. I'm kinda looking forward to becoming familiar with all of you, in a computer type sense. This is my last little write for the night before I get dinner on....the bath running for my little son.....and switch off for the day....but before I depart I would lik

Texas Wahine, That was a truly beautiful, insightful experience you have shared with us. I feel for you and your husband and kids. You have such a way with words. You have said in previous writings that you feel you are not intelligent enough at times or similar quotes.....and I just have to say that you should push those thoughts out of your mind as you are one of the most intelligent people I have come across on this site and in life in general a

Reply to The Man I Slept With Last Night in Misc JoeUser Forums

Texas Wahine, That is so sweet......when my partner was away our son used to sleep in my bed at night, he would have been about two, he's almost four now and if he wakes during the night he sneaks into our room and squeezes in for a cuddle falls back asleep and that's when I bundle him up and back to his own bed.......I get a little squashed in the middle otherwise! But while he's young it's nice to know he can be comforted so.

Reply to Capacity for Abstract Thought? in Misc JoeUser Forums

Gideon, I understand where your coming from having found my sometime's cynical, satirical comments bouncing of stony faces. I think people get stuck, sometimes, or trapped by their perspective and take your comment with their meaning not yours without giving you the chance to explain further if need be. I have found in conversations with my partner that I'll say something and he'll totally take it in another sense but once I refine my comm

Texas Wahine, Just dropped in to say hello....I'm new to the area, just moved in down the road, and have been taking the grand tour.......theres a group of you, including yourself, that seem like.....such a family....so to speak. This is a great way to actually communicate around the world without having to spend a fortune on stamps.....

Muggaz, Something I have realized over time is that most people think less of themselves than other people do as I did when I was younger. I assumed people thought this or that when I failed to recognise that they did not know me as I do and did not know all the faults I believed I had and more so they probably didn't care about my trivial grievances about myself. And you know what ....people don't really care what you're like as long as your a pre

Muggaz, I totally agree the thing that would ultimately force us all to unite is if hostile Aliens invaded then we would not seem so different and our cultures and colours would be ignored compared to the six legged, scaly, purple Alien intent on exterminating our population, perhaps for a food source! That being the worst case scenario........I would not wish that on the world in order for us to cooperate.....I just don't understand how we can

My friend shared a little gossip in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

One of my closest friends came round the other day bringing her kids round to play with my son. We hadn't seen each other for a while so we had a lot to catch up on and while our kids played we eventually we got round to gossiping about people we know.... And my friend said "Oh my god you won't believe this, Sam and Normy are back together and...." (Normy was some

Reply to Real Female Role Models in Misc JoeUser Forums

Wow.......that was amazing to read.....you certainly have your head screwed securely on your shoulders. Now it's a funny thing, if I can remember back to when I went to school.......the girls that gave the boys what they wanted are ultimately rejected and dubbed 'sluts' or something similar and this early behaviour can lead to a continual battle for attention and companionship through the wrong avenues. The girls who don't succumb to this pressure

Thankyou Muggaz, I'm glad you happened to be bored! If you happened to be bored again do you think you could help out a little.... What questions do you think should have been included that weren't? Thanks for your time, Muggaz. By the way, there are no communists here just concerned citizens trying to find a better way of life for everyone. And ofcourse we need perspectives from every background in order to have an

Now that I have your attention........though, there is truth in my statement, so please be patient as I come to my point......but to begin with I must say that I have been reading all your blogs and it is amazing to feel the passion in your words which at times jumps off the computer screen and into my heart and mind, for whatever the subject is that has hijacked your heart.

Reply to "friday five" ... you're the king of the world ! in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

Although I know it can seem lighthearted fun to muck around playing word games about being king of the world and such ....., how many of you when you flippantly speak of killing people recall that this is going on every day, yet we of the Fortunate few continue to ignore it and avert our eyes to more pleasurable visions. Instead of finding superficial humour in down trodden such as those who do not figure in anothers more powerful plan for existence a

It is time we, as world inhabitants, stop turning a blind eye to atrocities such as the crisis in Sudan and take responsibility as a United World to ensure this does not continue to go on in Sudan and countries over the globe. You may, as an individual, feel overwhelmed by what needs to be done to save the lives of these innocent people but as individuals we can band together as th
