Okay my dear sweeties. We are adults, i hope. We are friends, make friends and have, have to be friends, waiting somewhere along the line. I have great friends here and that is all it is, JUST FRIENDS. UUMM, accept of course for one special person here. But, that's beside the point. Would you just assume things of people here or would you have the guts to ask if you are not sure about something. Thanx for your time, patients and all that you had to go through to read this. Leave the money at the door, i need a very strong one tonight. TATA.

Well, im frank by nature and i dont really like to assume because assumptions are quite misleading, so i always ask what i wanna ask directly to a person. Saves me from having 'mind games' or analyzing as well. But i think that your post is about love, am i right? Well when it comes to that, its a mix of assumption then straightforward questioning when the signs seem to be all confusing. Saves me from embarrassment as well when things are clearly stated and direct to the point, coz not every good gesture is meant to be seen as 'romantic interest' right? Have a nice day. :-)

I ask most of the time since i am a very curious person to the point that i am getting so aggressive to ask repetitively until I get an answer. Since my mind just could not stop thinking about the other person reaction and i would ask them in private messages not in the discussion itself just to clarify. getting a good explanation then i could settle for the best reply that i really want though sometimes it is incomplete is is better to receive reply even it seems unsatisfactory than getting nothing at all. I do not like to make assumption though sometimes it just telling me that I am right but when in doubt i would ask than making a wrong assumption which is rather more embarrassing to do.

hi saphrina. not enjoying the world cup???? hahaha... yeah. we have too many friends here but u know, its hard to be too close to ask something not disclosed. i have both type of experiences ( positive and negative) after asking something. they who have accepted my queries with positive attitude, they are my great friends here. i dont blame them who did not wish to be too close as they are not bound to be and matter of privacy is always concerned. again, i have some friends here with whom i share all everything through emails. take care.

Herro saphrina I liked the comment about "dumb blonde". I am blonde. however far from dumb. In truth, I don';t like to assume, because many times I am incorrect, so I ask. I will look for the answer using all my skills, before I ask. Prosperous mylotting

I assume that one person would be me! I dont have the guts to ask. :) I dare not be not sure. At times I have been guilty of assuming. Like assuming that you wouldnt mind being teased as dumb blond. But that is the primary one in so far as you are concerned. :) And thinking that blonds like blonds, so you'd like Brad Pitt. I am just a human being! The wiring goes wrong somewhere!!!!!! But dumb blond that you are, you wont understand it *doh*

Hmmmmm, saphrina! I guess it all depends on what these assumptions are! I can only make general assumptions according to what/how people write . . . but if it's necessary to know a fact in order to respond to the discussion, then perhaps I may ask. Leave the money at the door? How much - I shouldn't assume - hee hee!!!

Well, I said "perhaps" because it would depend on if I wanted to get deeper into the discussion (ya know, sometimes these discussions can get sticky!).

Sometimes if I consider it as a small thing I always make a pre-assumption but if it is a big thing and may affect anybody I will ask those who has knowledge about it. It hard to assume such thing and it will fail who will responsible of those things? Of course you, the one initiate the assumption. I don't want to happen it to myself. Better to ask than to assume.

hi saphrina I never assume anything anymore. I found out that I have friends here at Gold Crest too. at dinner last night I made a complete as@ of myself. I was nauseated but went down to dinner, checked my blood sugar(I am a diabetic) and it was only 63, and my table mate said something to me, and next thing I knew someone was saying she fainted call the nurse, and I am saying no I am conscious just low blood sugar. so I had a glass of tea sickeningly sweet with all the sugar the nurse put in, then jesse handed me a can of orange crush which was what really brought me back to normal. I had just assumed they at least knew who I was, but found out out they are also my real friends here.And when I told my doctor today a bout the bout with low blood sugar he said when you feel hungry like that even if its three hours to dinner,eat something. so I will obey since he has never steered me wrong yet. lol. so now I ask I do not assume. also the nurse last night said always tell me when you feel like that. so will do.But my sweet filipina table mate was the one to help me first.I had thought I could handle this on my own and found out sometimes you need help. and that it is okay to ask for it.

nope I will not do that again. most embarrassing too. I thanked Jessie a lot as he was the main one to save me.I was trying to lose weight and I did, myh checkup showed I lost six pounds,but my doctor said do not cut back quite so much, so I always obey him as he has always been right;I go out of my way to stick to him as he knows me so well, I have been his patient for many years. If I had asked the nurse for help in the first place all could have been avoided. wow. sure found out who myfriends were at Gold crest.

I personally think that it's wrong to make assumptions and I personally don't get involved in this! I'm also reluctant to ask as I wouldn't want to be classed as being nosy with more time on my hands!. I think that when assumptions are made this can definitely lead to problems with the person you are making assumptions about. Assumption is based on speculation, that's to say no real evidence of the facts! I generally keep myself to myself, that's just me though! Andrew

I wouldnt like to agree! He is such an angel! meluan - he is the first person who discreetly helped me with my English. I wrote - "at retirement", and he responded with "in retirement".
