Different ages friendship

missak @missak (3311) • Spain 13 Jul 08

Do you think people with different ages can be actually friends? I don't mean a year or two, but a different generation, for exaple about 10 years... people from different generations tend to have different ways of thinking and...

egfitz62150 Oh, definately! It depends on how open both parties are, but the human condition is universal and gives us all common ground to build friendships on. There may always be a certain amount of difference in approach to things, but if both people are...

egfitz62150 Then there's the "olden times" names like: Faith, Hope, Charity, and Grace. Adele, Alida, Wendy (Gwendolynn), Katrina, Serenity, and America (Amy for short). Good luck and have a happy healthy baby!!

Lost Loves Never Should Have Been Loved at All

cynicalandoutspoken @cynicalandoutspoken (4725) • United States 19 Feb 08

Everyone has heard the old saying, "It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." It's B/S, if you ask me. Have you ever thought of all the pain and heart break you would save yourself if you never got...

egfitz62150 It seems we learn more through pain than through pleasure. Without the pain of failed love, we would never learn the lessons we need to learn to make the REAL love relationship of our lives last. We all have to pay our "dues." If one doesn't learn to be loyal...

egfitz62150 I'm so sorry to hear about your cat's decline. I had a cat do the same thing -- just started walking and walking, always in left hand circles. I'd put my hand on her to stop her, but as soon as I took it away she start again. She also lost "reverse" and I'd...

What do you say to negative attitudes

jsitko @jsitko (1169) • United States 13 Feb 08

A friend of mine always has a negative attitude, not matter what. You never say "Hi, how are you?" unless you really want to hear a sob story. Don't get me wrong, I am always here to listen and help in any way. When I do listen...

bgerig @bgerig (1258) • United States 12 Feb 08

A friend of mine died last night....from double pneumonia. One can never predict when it is time to leave this earth....we should each live each day to the fullest.

egfitz62150 I am so sorry for your loss! We never imagine what a big hole is left when someone we love leaves like this. There is little to say, at this point, that can assuage the pain, but you are very right -- we need to "live each day to the fullest!" and honor those...

egfitz62150 Well, 26 is still a tender age to those of us over 50. Shame on that older man for taking advantage of a vulnerable young woman!!! He must know that he's in an adulterous relationship, and if he'll do it WITH her he'll do it TO her -- that's something SHE...

egfitz62150 First of all, I'm so sorry for your loss!! No cat deserves to die that way -- act of nature or not. Second, I'd tell him that if I ever saw his dogs loose and on my property again I'd shoot them without a second's hesitation as they are known predators!...

Was I correct in refusing the gift?

sudiptacallingu @sudiptacallingu (10879) • India 1 Feb 08

Well this post is going to offend a lot of Indians and give a twisted pleasure to a lot of Americans. But even then, I just need to talk to you guys and know your views. An elderly colleague at office has a very accomplished and...

Do you think it's ok to try to sleep away our depression?

ctrymuziklvr @ctrymuziklvr (11057) • United States 1 Feb 08

It's a month Feb. 2 that my Mom passed away and I'm still having such a bad time with it. Even my psych meds aren't helping me and one of them has been doubled just to help me through this time. All this crying is really taking...

egfitz62150 I'm so sorry for your loss! I remember quite clearly how devastated I was when my own mother died, and my heart goes out to you and anyone who has lost a family member. One thing I learned during my own time of grief is that when one looses a parent, child or...

egfitz62150 I agree with some of the other posters here -- have the garden wedding!!! It can be just as inexpensive as a civil ceremony, because it's not the ceremony itself that's costly, it's all the "extras." ANY white dress becomes a "wedding dress" when worn for a...

Are you still active at mylot, or have you moved to other paying communities?

missak @missak (3311) • Spain 28 Nov 07

I am not very active lately, but, althought I have other accounts in other sites, it is not because I have moved there. It is just because I have been busy in my real life and I didn't find the time to write in internet. But the...

egfitz62150 I haven't moved anywhere. I haven't had the time to read or write here in the last 4 months or so, though. My husband has retired and is around all day, so I don't have the time I did before. *Sigh* Just not enough money for the effort, either. I've enjoyed...

Can you describe yourself?

missak @missak (3311) • Spain 6 Oct 07

I don't mean a simple description, but a psicologycal description, like how you react when... when something is wrong, when something is good, are you solitary or collective person, introverted or extroverted... please try :)

egfitz62150 As a Gemini, I often confuse myself (can't imagine how it irks other people!) by feeling and doing one thing and then, 10 minutes later, feeling and doing the exact opposite. Currently I'm much more solitary than ever before. I can talk your ear off, but I can...
