Make special time for the two of you! See if you can pick her up from school, volunteer at school etc. And also think of things you use to like to do and start doing them again.

Carin replies on Aug 4, 2018:

Volunteering in the classroom is the best. You really know what's going on & can observe her interacting with the teacher & other student. Because, as you eventually will find out, the answer to "What did you do at school today?" is "Nothing." Maybe you can even volunteer with some of her other activities. Also, she may well get tired of doing all those things & want to quit some of them. That's my experience with 3 kids anyway.

Interesting read on circumcision [iflscience.com]

That super tiny waist is what doesn't match the rest of her. Plenty of meat on her arms & thighs. The more you study the photo, the weirder it all looks.

Carin replies on Aug 2, 2018:

Some deep thinkers have suggested that true love can't exist unless it's mutual. That it's something that has to flow between two people... I understand what they are saying, but just because I've never experienced something doesn't mean it doesn't happen to other people. I guess for me, I can't love someone who doesn't love me back. It just feels like a miserable crush.

DrGiallo comments on Aug 1, 2018:

Bill, I called out the casual sexism (not so casual; it was pretty explicit) of that post. I didn't report it or request that it be taken down. I merely commented that I didn't think those kind of comments were 'cool'. But I'll go further, the problem is that attitudes like those expressed in that ...

@CaroleKay Who knows when someone is blocked? Can the person tell they are blocked? Can you get a reputation as a "blocker?" (Sorry, new here)

What is the ONE thing that makes you the happiest?

My children make me the happiest. The one thing that I wish I had in my life is a partner that "gets" me, but better to be solo than with the wrong person. :)

OK, you made me feel like a total creep for saying chocolate. Here is one of my wonderful twin boys operating a shopping cart escalator at a Canadian Walmart.

I am not sure I have ever known what would really make me happy, for all the things that I thought would, did so only briefly. I have no idea still...

Carin replies on Aug 1, 2018:

I know... I'm finding that serious volunteer work has helped my mood a lot. Took me years to find that out.

Follow up to Nancy Drew meme last night...

Without some in-depth info from their bio, I wouldn't be interested anyway. It doesn't matter how good their photo is, it doesn't tell me anything about who they are and what they're like.

maxhyde comments on Aug 1, 2018:

Online dating is a very addition/update to the whole dating ritual...none of which is very effective at finding a partner imo. However if they have little to go from I would say: *"hi <name>, I went through your profile and have a few questions. If I receive no answer I will assume the interest ...

I always comment. If someone contacts me it's a courtesy to reply.

Carin replies on Aug 1, 2018:

I agree. Unless they are just plain offensive, rude or pushy. If you don't answer to be nice to a stranger, do it because it's simply good manners!

Dew25 comments on Aug 1, 2018:

Dating sites are rough. I think much of the burden still lies on men to make the first move......after composing and sending what sometimes feels like hundreds of introductory or ice breaker messages which garner no responses at all, I'm tempted to simply type "hi". I never have, but there are only ...

Carin replies on Aug 1, 2018:

Wow, that sounds awful! I usually don't feel that sorry for guys but wow that must feel bad. So sorry.

A strong person.

Deiter comments on Aug 1, 2018:

I heard it said that forgiveness isn't for the person being forgiven. It's for the forgiver. It allows them to let go of the anger and resentment and move on to a healthier course.

Carin replies on Aug 1, 2018:

Do you have to tell them that you forgive them? I could maybe handle it if they didn't know.

A strong person.

indelible comments on Aug 1, 2018:

That would mean letting go and letting go isn't easy. I grew up in a family of grudge holders. There was no forgiving or forgetting. It's really hard to change that.

Carin replies on Aug 1, 2018:

@bingst So glad I'm not alone in that. I was hesitant to even say it.

Im very curious as to why so many men include pictures at 20 instead of being proud of who they have...

Carin comments on Aug 1, 2018:

The guys all accuse women of doing that too. I prefer to think that they really don't notice that they don't still look like that, & they're just their favorite photos of themselves.

Carin replies on Aug 1, 2018:

@bubaj50 Maybe that's why I use the baby goat picture! Who can not love a baby goat?

Ended up staying in a really nasty motel.

dalefvictor comments on Aug 1, 2018:

I usually pay them no attention at all, I guess on could use them to start a fire or toilet paper. Have never really given it any thought till now.

Carin replies on Aug 1, 2018:

I've heard the pages make OK rolling papers?

So I agreed to visit my ex’s family tomorrow.

MissaDixon comments on Aug 1, 2018:

I talk about my dogs...a lot ... around dumb people. Let them think I'm a crazy dog lady. It's really kind on everyone.

Carin replies on Aug 1, 2018:

I do goats & chickens. You should see their eyes glaze over...& then they're gone!

Sound logic?

Carin comments on Aug 1, 2018:

Wow is he right!!! I went through a really depressed & melancholy stage in my late 20s. I listened to country & cried along with all the broken heart songs for 2 years.

Carin replies on Aug 1, 2018:

With the new self driving cars, now the guy's pickup will leave him too...standing in the rain of course.

IAMGROOT comments on Aug 1, 2018:

I usually toss them in the trash. Seriously.

Carin replies on Aug 1, 2018:

@IAMGROOT Somehow I thought the hotels had to buy them? But why would they? You're right, probably free. I'm in a Vancouver BC hotel now & the book in the drawer is in Chinese. Too short to be even the New Testament. Who knows....

Well nobody else is posting
