Sure!
Is the earth a “he” or a “she?” How about America? Or a ship?
Hmmm. Having a hard time coming up with a “he” example, though…
Maybe “death?”[/quote]
They’re all “its” lol.
People do call ships “she” and sometimes countries and things like nature. These are sentiments left over from Latin. But yeah I guess you’re right.
It was kind of weird to click on this thread to find myself being discussed, since I hadn’t been in here for a few weeks.
Appreciate the advice, and thanks for writing that out SmilingPolitely.

YOu both enjoy talking to each other immensely and there is obviously some hormone-fueled attraction.
Wasn’t this thread created because Emily is an unhappy single? An attractive, fit, geeky , unhappy single?
However, if you REALLY (winkwink) are in juuust to hand out tips, here’s a (honest!) question for you:
Why don’t you make Beidlsaftvolk.at or somesuch and preach directly from the pulpit?
There’s little out there in the Krautnetz.

I would say experience-fueled, not hormone fueled.

See, that makes me sad.
For I would like to believe that if we ever did the nasty we would do so in a hormone fueled frenzy.
But no, I am like a a warm, comfortable blanket…

I’m afraid you spend too much time riding the carousel for my tastes. I need a little adventure; the highs and lows of a roller coaster, say.
I like the term, “carousel” to describe hook-ups, and thank you for providing it. Doesn’t matter which genitalia you’re riding, the tedium of going 'round and 'round on a trip to nowhere is the same.
I’m willing to risk free-fall, which after all is just another kind of adventure. This is what I seek; tingles that come from something more than hormone-fueled casual sex. Because then you get to tingle all over.

Wether you want me or not is not the point, the point is that I refuse to have polite, comfortable sex with you.
Its either hot, sweaty and followed by a sequel in the shower or you wont ride this pony.
Not even hypothetically…
I fear for my reputation, you see?[/quote]
I don’t know why you think hot, sweaty sex can’t happen between people who care about one another. I think of sweet (as opposed to polite) comfortable sex as being something that happens on Sunday mornings, followed by a late breakfast out. It’s entirely delightful and very loving, but it’s not the only dish on the menu.
I know someone here will know this one- What is the thing called that is explained as a window with four frames- one that is how you see yourself, second is how others see you, third is what you cant see about yourself, and the fourth pane is what others don’t see about you?

Thanks! My sister is looking for tools to use in a discussion group she belongs to and thought that this might help them work toward the ends that she was describing trying to achieve. I just couldn’t think of the name of it for the life of me.

Hahaha, that was hilarious.
I ended a four year relationship yesterday.
Been together since we were 15.
Only girl I’ve ever kissed.
Only girl I’ve ever slept with.
She had some issues, we were living 400 miles apart and across a sea (different unis), and I just wasn’t happy as much as I was unhappy anymore.
I’d felt like that for months, and just not acted on it, and yesterday I told her over the phone exactly how I felt, and insisted that it was done.
I feel:
Lighter, like I no longer have to think about what I do everyday and how that could potentially lead to her getting upset, or whether or not I could afford something because I needed the money for flights.
In shock I guess, because this girl has been a part of my life for a quarter of it, I got on with all her family, been there for her through all sorts of shit, and now that’s just gone.
Guilty, but this is probably because I did it over the phone when I could do it in person in a week’s time. But it would be her birthday then, and also, I’ve felt like this for so long, once I was in the right mindset to get it done, I felt like it was best to just do it.
Alone (funny that). Most of my uni have gone home for Easter, and there are literally 3 people in our flat at the moment, one girl who’s in a relationship, and anther who barely leaves her room. The people I have spoken to since have been great, but I haven’t really been able to talk about the way I wanted to, I don’t now if it’s cos I have trouble phrasing it, or if I just don’t feel like burdening my friends with me being miserable, and in doing so drive them away, when I really need them now. That’s probably why I’m posting this here to be honest.
Literally just realised that my situation is pretty similar to LoRez’s. I think he has a better beard though.

Time to go silly with your willy man.
But, but, HaagenDaaz and Love Actually?
Another feeling to process: Certainty that I did the right thing.

It’s a good feeling, knowing you did the right thing. I’m glad you’re feeling that way.
In my feelings news, there’s some mild drama at work, which may break into something interesting at my meeting in 25 minutes. I seem to have miffed a colleague with whom I share a family by offering that we should work together toward the same goal. She took offense, wrote a giant block of text, cc several people, about her willingness to collaborate under xyz conditions, told our boss that she’s decided not to work with kids anymore (I’m the one working with the teen, though, so not sure what that is) and then yesterday was seen to kick a box that got in her way when she was in the faxing area - twice! One of the office admins mentioned it, saying “whoa, [colleague] needs anger management training.”
I’m feeling bewildered by all of this, and also getting angry as I think about the family and its needs as I perceive them. I may break bad today. I’M FEELING RUFFLED.

sounds like she feels that you, and possibly others, don’t think she is capable of doing her job without help. have you heard anyone mention her work or if she seems excessively defensive, other than beating her box?
