Within a few days I transformed into a miserable living wreck.
I hate my life.

I know the feeling, Dior. Cuts deep like a knife. "Crepacuore" that I mentioned.
Mine has lasted over  two years intensely. Never before...
Each situation is different though. Analyse yours & see who was to blame.
But to prevent yourself from spiralling into abysmal pain like I did, try to find someone better who values your worth. I tried & dated, but my heart was elsewhere.  
 Time heals. Not for me yet, but I'm sensitive.
Like you, I can't fully function, concentrate, sleep & eat either too much or too little. Lately not at all...

If it was true love, then give it time. For me, it was like a magnetic pull luring me back.
Bisous

Thank you so much for your kind words.  
It's not that I jumped into that black hole, it came from above. Suddenly, unexpected and mean...

Was touched reading this... Yes, there really is no right/wrong answer especially where love is concerned... the better part is the experience of it all :)and the best, really is the aftermath (the education)... pain or otherwise... My prayers are with you two... as with all the others in previous notes...

@ Dior & Juliette
Never ever fall into the trap of "falling out of love with yourself ". Do not refuse yourself anything if you refse yourself then don't EXPECT others not to do the same.
Be kind to you. If somebody else was not then, its there hard luck.
Sorry. Writing this on I phone. But I hope it's ok. Eyes are v tired.

Thanks Melbert. I was having a chit chat by myself in July´s department. I need to keep up!

It was just about simon cowels latest news, but I guess those where old too. He is in Europe and has moved on so...it can get a bit expensive to him, this thing, but life is.

Merci @ Pari and what would he say

Well, this man had more than 2 faces.

All I had to understood was: there are really sadistic men in this world, who keep entertaining themselves by hurting others on purpose.

After this insight, I feel as enlightened as SK, and I can be more than happy that I got rid of him.

Dior you´ll get over it. Something better waiting for you...

I have found " orange juice -test" very good. You can´t google it, I invented it. And it is very effective and works.

Ask him for orange juice. If he pours it from the bottle, it´s just that, the juice. Bad sign. Very bad.

What you want is freshly pressed from real oranges and he doesn´t only pour the juice but love into it. It´s a good sign.

If he doesn´t have oranges wait for the next time, he should learn and care what you like. If you don´t like orange juice ask for smoothie with fresh ingredients berries, fruits ...

Fact is if they are in love with you or love you, they want the best for you.  

Dear Carla, I was dating a real man and not a housewife.

Usually this is what I offer for breakfast, although I'm not a housewife either.

But I tested him too.

One evening, we were at his house and he wanted to have a beer with me. He said he had only one cold beer left, if I wanted the one from the fridge or one from the basement. I said, I didn't care and yep, I got the warm beer, yummy....

Jerk!

Fresh squeezed juice nice. Red orange juice . M mmmm:D

Back when the O.J. trial was fresh, I used to ask a potential date what he thought of the verdict.  If he thought that the trial was fair or that O.J. was innocent, I knew he was a potential abuser, so yeah, no date.

I also watch how he treats people.  If he puts people down, calls someone names, etc., red flag this guy is no good and will eventually turn his contempt on to me.

And I'm the opposite of Dior--I think a real man IS someone who doesn't mind pouring orange juice for you or doing the dishes, etc.  Someone who doesn't want to act in selfless ways doesn't really want to put the work into a relationship.  If you love and respect someone, you realize you have to put some skin in the game.

Thanks for your advice, Pari & wwhs.
I was only offering my empathy to Dior. I'm a private person & suffer in silence, yet here under the auspices of anonymity, I shared my situation with Dior, when she seemed to be hurting.

My experience was ....unusual to say the least.
But still mean-spirited & pathetic.
The shame is on him, though.

Anyway, change of vector as I don't like negativity.

@Dior ~
Try exercising or physical activities if you have energy. It releases endorphins.
I also find that when I eat very little & healthy, I feel happier & more energetic.

Each experience is different.

As for philosophy, take it from the experts. The original words of wisdom,
No plagiarizing.  

I've just found this web site. It looks very interesting
for everything "Life Related"

Enjoy

Thank you for sharing your sorrows and your good thoughts. I am starting to feel much better just because of all those nice words, thoughts and wishes. Ok, much would be an exaggeration, but it feels so warm in my heart

And by you, I mean all of you, who answered to my cry for help. You touched my heart, thank you so much.

You're welcome Dearest Dior.  
A lot of us have been there and understand a little
of what you are experiencing.

Clooney Starved ALERT


Aside from Mel's avatar, which is breathtaking, I am Clooney starved.  

I'm getting weaker and weaker here, just a back view would do - or the top of a head.....the dream would be the full 3 course dazzling smile.

I am not one to moan.....but nothing REALLY....or have I missed something?

Next week I finish the project I'm working on....if no show by then I will be forced to DIY; go to Venice, stand in the crowd, and hope for a "top of the head" peak that way......Double whammy it might just brake the CLOONEY SPELL I'm under.....XXX:( 

Oh right
Venice ....

hello

Just noticed that my son posted hello to you guys - Id best hibernate the pc next time I walk away LOL

Good evening, Theminis Junior, and welcome to our world!

Thanks PAN - he's a cheeky monkey, but is a George Clooney fan so I will let this one slide HA - and now I know why he's been giving me funny looks the last half hour of so!!

So cute...at least he knew where to post it!

He has watched me on many occasions on the forum, so guess he worked it out, not that surprised really as he can work my Ipod better than me...he has managed to download 3 games from the App store. See what happens when you educate children? and forget to put your Ipod away  

I want to subscribe to Time magazine and it's only $30 a year for the print plus online edition if I give an American address. Obviously the print issue is useless for me, but I'd like the online version for my iPad.

What do you guys think would happen if I gave them a made-up US mailing address when I subscribe?

Nothing, they would probably not even realise its made up HA

Well If you use a fake address you might want to make sure it is still a real address.
 
Once I wanted to sign up for something I can't remember but they needed an american address. So I used a fake one but the system was so smart he didn't recognised the postcode with the address. So finally after searching I found a real address but than again the system blocked me after a while as my IP Internet Address didn't match with the american address I mean not even with the country. LOL Didn't know they check the IP address. Was scary. So maybe this can happen to you too.
 
Just try, when I got busted they only kicked me out as a memeber :-( But maybe Time Magazine is not so strict. Can be different for you.
 
I hate that when they always want american adresses. Especially when they are international. Whats the problem....mmhh
 
Maybe you can write them an email and ask if there are other options?

By the way, it took them 24 hours until they realised my IP address didn't match.

The only US zip code I know is 90210! Do you think I can get away with addressing it to 1 Beverly Hills High Street, Beverly Hills?!!?

LOL, I wonder how much fake mail the US postal service gets to that zipcode from people like me?

Uh that's funny.

It is one thing just to add an address somewhere but the thing with you is that Time Magazin will send out magazins to that address. If it gets returned to time magazine than this could be a problem and they contact you about your correct address.

What I would do I would google a building where you have lot of companies in one building. In a buisness district somewhere. Normally the postman would drop everything off at the receiption or they intern post office. And to be honest until they look through I don't thing they would return your time magazin. They probably keep it and read it LOL.

Or choose an address from a big company like sony they get 100 of mails everyday. It just gets droped and if they find the magazine which doesn't belong to them they will just through it away once they realise your name is not in they file  

But of course no guarantee that works but I would do it that way. If you try and it works for you you need to tell me.  

Or even better. Go online in some forums and ask someone who wants free times magazin as an exchange you need the address LOL. Maybe you find someone online. Just a thought. Americans like free things :-)

If I find somebody I let you know LOL

Nicky - well aren't you the sly one - send it to a big business like Sony - clever x

Hi Katiedot,

follow this link

MyUS is a virtual USA address you can use for buying on US websites etc that will forward on your items.....I've used it's great....
Also you need a virtual IP address in US... I use expat telly for uk and Ireland....USA is something like HULU/Hoopla/static IP ..anyway someone might know or google it.....If you don't have a US IP they(whoever they are) will stop you downloading stuff

Sorry about spelling apple leaving me down today....hay ho....x

Uh that's interesting. So if you got this Expat Telly for UK and Ireland can you "just" switch to an US IP? I need to have a look if we got something like this too.

Thanks for the link. Very helpful :-)

Yes, you need proxy to change your "location. Plenty to choose from connection type, countries, speed, anonymity level. (beware to receive enormous amounts of junk and trash mail, no filter will stop it)

But I would not use any existing street address unless my own. Not necessary either, what matters is a ZIP code, it has to be real.

They should have "don´t send me anything" box you could tick.

A car speed by sun energy!

Good luck with your move sparkie. I'm watching the
3rd Ashes test and your guys are doing well at the moment.  

Congradulations on winning the Ashes:shock: 

Well not exactly a win ! Rain certainly helped England.
It was developing into a good match too.

Fourth one about to start now in Durham....first time they've ever had an Ashes Test at their ground so exciting for the members and cricket lovers there.
Hoping the weather stays good for them all.

Did your move go well ?

Reading from your experiences on love...

Where there is love, there sure will be forgiveness as well.. so I guess, the best that one can do is to MOVE ON WITH the spirit of forgiveness... Because forgiveness is always gifted with refreshed "understanding" ... when the whole situation can seem / feel very different from what it was before...

Anyways... am so glad that everyday is turning out to be a blessing of some sort Dior, Juliette, everyone...

Yes it was a bit of a anti-climax, still a win is a win and England won roll on summer in Australia
No still packing up the house containers arrive Tuesday will arrive on the East Coast Sunday week.

Ok clever people don't know where to put this.... but I just saw the trailer for The Monuements Men on Entertainment Tonight looks really interesting can't wait for the release it certainly helped with drought that we are all suffering from the lack of sightings. I feel rejuvenated now back to packing.

Love needs a lot of compassion
Yes
And understanding too

Packing....house move......good time to de-clutter I always found.
Good luck with it sparkie.

There's plenty about MM now on the MM thread,including stills and trailer.
It looks good !

Jo
Baby
What kind of pic is it in your avatar? Where did you find it?

I am expecting to see F1 cars speeding on sun energy next! Wow! Great invention.

They could start in Monza, where I watched my first and definately last F1 race!

The only downside to it is that the race would last forever or feel like it as it already does and cars are going 300km/h.

But it´s good news, really good, and they always say F 1 is leading the way so....to test the tires etc.

If someone is wondering I am not a big fan of F1.

Lol
Anyway yes, hope in a new trend
ASAP

Love IS compassion, and so forgiveness comes easy when it is at work...

Well... one can also say Love IS ALSO forgiveness... and compassion... and understanding... and a long long list of beautiful wonderful positives... so yeah Congratulations Love!!!

I believe that it's very acceptance, that it has touched people (as above), is a blessing... THAT always makes me very happy  

Hello sweet COH'ess

I did not sleep a wink last night...hate that...don't know why. Any remedies please pass on....

But for those interested I read an interview in the Times with Marky Mark guy...all about movie making, HIS WAY........I don't like him, sorta makes my skin crawl, but maybe you might be interested....so here is the link

The things you read at 4am!!!

Also read about an English Lady Vicar. Her parish were very upset with number/license plate on her car;

"WHFWJD"

which means;

'What the fuck would Jesus do'

She was a religious academic before a Vicar and she says that fuck is not a profanity, as far a Jesus is concerned. It is simply vulgar and uncouth........I wasn't wasting my time looking at the ceiling counting sheep.........x

what would he say wrote:..........................

All she had to do was add "EVERYTHING!!!" besides/below "WHFWJD" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
She would've drawn in her entire Parish ?!?

Oh dear  WWHS what a night.

Hope next can be better
Ask G to come and
Help you....

"Please G come and help me?"

BTW, who's turn is it to be G today.....anyone know...X
