Hi Amber, I am on the mend, what a vicious bug this year. My daughter is now in about stage 3 although it is not hitting her as hard as me. Flu shot next year for sure. The days are brightening up here as well which helps although we are looking at another four or five days of rain this week. I am so pleased it is warning up as I absolutely hate winters, I am just no good with them. I have roses starting to bloom in the garden now which also brightens things up. I need to do a lot of weeding out the front but when that's done it will look very pretty. I have white standards in the driveway and then a Papa Meilland growing madly over the gables. The Papa is a fairly vigorous climber with large red blooms and very fragrant. Brightens my day no end to see them all in bloom as I know that summer is on the way.

Worse is when you're not sure if you've been dumped or not - when the email is just too cryptic, lol.

Amber - I see them 2 or 3 times a year - not much but we all get together at Christmas. It looks like a Jamboree at my folks place ;)

Posted by: willow29 at September 3, 2008 9:10 AM

I was dumped by email. Its not nice...I would rather have had a phone call (it was a long distance relationship), needless to say after a few days of simmering I called him a spineless coward..needless to say, when talking to him later he never mentioned the email but was extremely apologetic..

Posted by: inca007 at September 3, 2008 8:50 AM

Hi Vanilla,

Yep, we all have our own sense of style, however I think breaking up over the net, sms etc shows the depth of the individual using that kind of medium to end a relationship.

Posted by: okamhere at September 3, 2008 8:32 AM

Wow. I didn't even know about the blogging on here - and here I've been wasting my time online at heraldsun leaving comments all over the place...
Interesting topic� Can you dump via email? I guess everyone has their own sense of style, morals. Personally, I think it depends on the depth of the relationship.

Posted by: vanillla at September 2, 2008 5:37 PM

cadence - i personally prefer when a female im trying to get to know, or even if i had a girlfriend who had hips. I like curves on women(just my personal preference). Having said that though, im not keen on obeseity. A women for my liking has to be proportioned well.

Thats just me. Also, no i dont think you are "breakably slim", to be completely honest, i have seen your profile, and i think you have beautiful photos

Posted by: metalscott at September 2, 2008 2:34 PM

Thanks Willow,
Keep us informed. Do you see your nieces and nephews often? Sounds like you are a busy person and it will get even busier!

Perth, hope you are on the mend. Hopefully things will warm up, apparently it has been the coldest August since 1951 in Adelaide!
Did you pass the 'flu onto Tassie? (I thought cyberspace had different "bugs"!) Hope you get better quickly TD!

Posted by: riversong01 at September 1, 2008 9:25 PM

Couldn't agree more!

Posted by: amberlight58 at September 2, 2008 12:58 PM

I agree riversong01, i would never break up with someone in an sms or email! In person is the only way.

Lol @ Metalscott, what would you consider 'breakably slim'? I am about 5'5 and 58 kilos..lol

Posted by: cadence2 at September 2, 2008 8:23 AM

Dumping by sms/email is a coward's way out - but it's still ahead of dumping by silent treatment/slow chill!!

Staryeyes - Im a rugby player, 105kg's, size 38, 6ft3". I like my girls with a little bit more than jsut skin and bones. Im a big fella.Also that some of the other bigger blokes i know like a "full" women rather than a stick figure. My dads mate turned a lady down last weekend because she was quite slim, he said: "I dont want to break you". it sounded quite funny in his accent

Posted by: metalscott at September 1, 2008 3:08 PM

Thankyou for the welcome.

I really enjoy reading how others think about issues.

It is age, how I was raised, how I was taught to behave.

Surely if someone is worth the initial "hello"...why not the "goodbye"?

Cheers

Posted by: okamhere at September 1, 2008 10:41 AM

Hi Amber, the new arrival isnt due for 5 months. I have 12 other nieces and nephews from 3 sisters. My 4 other siblings havent started breeding yet :)

Hope all the 'flu sufferers are feeling better today! First day of Spring!

Hi kurli. Nice to see you back, and hope the now-hidden profile is a signal of some good news in your life, that we don't need to know about.

Posted by: timewarp1 at August 31, 2008 11:51 PM

okamhere@5.23pm........Hi and welcome to the playpen!
I think you'll find that many agree with your sentiments re email announcements of breaking-up.
Unfortunately behavioural standards have slipped greatly as the cyber world has progressed......

Posted by: kurli at August 31, 2008 10:22 PM

okamhere at 5:23pm: Hi and welcome. Depends if you would have already thought that, 10 years ago. If so, it's not your age, it's decent standards for behaviour - probably from back in childhood.

Posted by: timewarp1 at August 31, 2008 6:30 PM

Hi,
I think breaking up via email incredibly rude (not to mention cowardly). What's wrong with "this isn't working for me'?

I think I am just getting old.....

Posted by: okamhere at August 31, 2008 5:23 PM

Hi Amber, I have an awful case of the flu. I struggled into work today for the first time in a week and nearly crawled out. My car was sitting downstairs and what a welcome site that was. I am getting better but this has been a really long unpleasant haul and don't want it again for a while. I am going to take your advice re the flu shot. So many people I know have had it and although they still get colds they are weeners. Monday I am going to the beach and have a lovely stroll in the sunshine, I hope, and get lots of fresh air. Probably take some bits and pieces to have a picnic afterwards. I am hoping it is warm as I need the fresh air and definitely sunshine. It's still very cold in the mornings here and then only gets to about 19 tops during the day. Never mind, I am sure I am getting better now, just need some decent beach weather and that will buck me up no end. Cottesloe dog beach is particularly good, not only is it a nice beach but it is just outside Fremantle. All the large container ships line up on the horizon waiting to go into port. On a good day you can see easily to Rottnest Island and then, of course, there are the sailboards etc. So, not only is it a nice beach for the dogs and their owners it is interesting as well, with an ever changing scenery. Every now and then you will see dolphins playing in the water fairly near to the edge. A couple more cafes on the edge wouldn't go astray though where you can tie the dogs afterwards, but hey this is WA and they don't like developments much here.

starryeyez at August 30, 2008 10:26 AM when I am out and wearing heels, most men are shorter than me...lol...about cleavage height
that is how it's meant to be isn't it?except for Tom Cruise maybe....he would be staring at your navel

Posted by: tallerthantom at August 30, 2008 11:30 AM

Hi Willow,
Whe is the little one due? Do you ahve other nieces and nephews?

Hi perth,
Sounds like you have a really nasty case of the 'flu.
I have had 'flu shots for years as my daughter was a severe asthmatic as a youngster and the Adelaide WCH suggested it would be a good idea to help protect her, as her getting influenza could be fatal.
I am rarely ever sick and haven't had the 'flu for years *she looks around hurriedly for some real wood to touch!*
Sure has been a cold winter down south!

Thanks Amourmoi.. I really like my height...when I am out and wearing heels, most men are shorter than me...lol...about cleavage height.

But meeehhh it's all good :)

Posted by: starryeyez at August 30, 2008 10:26 AM

take 1, typed at 8.05 am- Hey starry, I hear your pain. I am a shortie and wear heals to add what I do not have in the length of legs.

My friend is also a little like you.

She is a knock out, confident, smart, loyal and funny but she is also tall and has a very hard time in meeting guys that are ones to keep anyway.lol

It is her height that I think that puts guys off and we do talk about but only for a second before we run a muck on the dance floor.

However she refuses to bow to anyone and still wears her great heels as she should...never bow to anyone as you appear you wouldn't rock on sister xx

Posted by: iaminperth at August 29, 2008 3:48 PM

(Perth I think you meant this to go into the other blog, but I will answer you here)

Perth, you look absolutely beautiful, I've seen your photo's, your not challenged in anyway, shape, or form, vertically, horizontally etc. BTW I hope you get well soon !!!

I love my height, but it does limit me. I prefer (as most women do) a man who is at least a couple of inches taller.

Also, to make it worse, I am a plus size girl (16-18) and I would feel like a beast, next to a slim. lets say 5'8" guy. My ex was 6'6" and a football player...and hey guess what, I looked petite and demure next to him...LOL...So can you sort of understand my reasoning now?

Come on all you big fellas...where are you??? LOL

Posted by: starryeyez at August 30, 2008 7:36 AM

LOL TW, I did know what you meant! I dont think I'd have much more than 25 yrs to offer but I'd like to think that they'd be pleasurable "Autumn Years" before the final "Winter of our discontent"!
As for wordiness .. if our posts on here are anything to go by .. the guys can waffle on when it suits them to. I'ts just when it comes down to the break up, most guys seem to want to cut off quick without a lingering backward glance ... and email is the perfect vehicle!

Posted by: waternymph47 at August 29, 2008 4:58 PM

Hey Starry, Are you trying to tell me I am vertically challenged - how rude !!!!!!! I think that tall woman are spectacular. They usually wear clothes better and have a mystical air about them. One of the girls I work with is 6ft in flats, has nearly black hair and the bluest eyes you have ever seen. She is fascinating to look at, totally unaware how striking she is and a heart of gold. I have often found, like a large horse or dog, taller people are usually great of temperament. Pls don't take that as an insult, I am serious. Not only am I vertically challenged, which is permanent but now I am horizontally challenged as well at the moment.........oh dear, must do something about that one.

Posted by: iaminperth at August 29, 2008 3:48 PM

1) waternymph47 at 11:52 AM, quoting me at 10.24am 27th: "I aim for about 40 or 50 years per relationship, but some women lack the staying power for that."

Gee TW I don't think I'll be around that long ... and I'm younger than you LOL!"

Touche. I was actually talking about my aim when single the first time, way back then, and to give you a smile I left it at that.

But now 40-odd years later as a recycled single, I'm still looking for a "final placement" if possible. And even a few months of partnered bliss is very desirable, as I was blahing on about in 'the man drought' this morning.

2) "Just curious .. but it seems to me.. guys are more likey to end it online with just a few short words.. while women are mosr likely to give a gentle explanation!"

Maybe women are more polite, kind and supportive, or just more wordy, and men are more taciturn, and/or more left brained - just transmit the factual message without venturing into the emotional side. Which probably isn't that kind of man's strong suit anyway.

Posted by: timewarp1 at August 29, 2008 2:06 PM

Im going to have to pass on the Sydney meeting, sorry. I'm going to save my tickets for the impending birth of my next niece/nephew. Maybe I can catch up with some of you then.

dear timewarp1 and heart2heart57 - thank u for your insight. Do you guys have insomnia?? My "gut" feeling was that this was a "good one" at last. Maybe my gut should be bigger (yuk)! I shall remember "Don't be any feller's free sample" as my personal motto. To read comments such as yours - from men - is very refreshing! If we all lived closer you two would certainly be warmly welcomed as a part of my circle of friends! Arrogant people are not tolerated! kiss kiss

i ragazzi e le ragazze vengono a questo luogo imparare come giocare piacevolmente con la gente ed imparare diventare uomo e donne che è un rischio degno prendere

Does Melbourne have a bloggers meet?

Posted by: egernia at August 28, 2008 2:04 PM

MT: Love all the ideas and I will be at all three venues on the 27th xxx

Why?: Because I canxxxx

And this is for a Maestrac crown among us who is a wonder women and hangs out with good MT...

Enjoy all Libs xx

LIBRA - The Sane One
Nice to everyone they meet.
Their Love is one of a kind.
Silly, fun and sweet.
Have own unique appeal.
Most caring person you will ever meet; however, not the kind of person you want to mess with... they know how to juggle thier words so well...

You might end up crying into thier phone late at night and they will juggle mother nature to dry your tears and shake the tree.

They will find you the best darn apple picker that finds you afraid that the apples at the top of the tree, while hard to reach are worth the climb up the ladder of life for xxxx

Always good in the you know where...keep it clean....cause they like fine cotton, clean linen xxx peace out xxxx

Maestrac.....you really make me laugh....can't wait to meet you!

I think we should just "Copy" the Brisbane bloggers and set the same date.....September 27th!

i haven't spoken to anyone yet but here is what i am thinking and it DOES NOT have to be like this...........

Mestrac would like to come during the day.i just think she wants to start getting drunk early!!!! hahah why not!!!!

Meet at my place on "THE NORTH SHORE" at 11....for cocktails and hor's derves.......

if I can get my act together,maybe we can through some king prawns on the "barbie".

After we are well and trully in party mode we can try and decide whether we want to share cabs up to some local eateries up the road...or go a little further to "The Oaks" in Neutral Bay.........If this is appealing to you,I can pre book a private room for us overlooking the courtyard.........with our own pool table.On the other hand,maybe an afternoon at Luna Park can be arranged...hahahah

If ladies form out of town would like to crash at my place for the night,that's fine...there are plenty of spare beds.

Posted by: willow29 at August 27, 2008 4:23 PM - Willow - seems some wires are crossed here. I thought my comment was to Santaria. What I meant by what I said earlier is that I thought you were saying sorry for something, but there's nothing to apologise for. I don't have a beef with anyone on here. Sometimes I can be a sarcastic old blighter, but that's just my dumb sense of humour... :)

Now I would like to send a cheerio to my Aunty in the country and a message to all my relatives about this years family Christmas. It was my turn last year so don't even think about it.. but I think we could easily combine it with an RSVP event as " we are all individuals.".and there may be someone else interesting enough to talk to or at least to sit next to Nanna.......email me for details and my star sign suggests December 25th as being a good date for everyone.....

Posted by: willow29 at August 27, 2008 4:28 PM

H2H - I was saying that I was sorry to Perth for the confusion as I wasn't being serious when I responded to another comment - to which you also responded in a way I thought you meant tongue in cheek too. (So, following the same logic, if you meet online, everything you do and say can be expressed online, right?

outbackdrifter at August 27, 2008 8:03 AM : Well picked up. One woman's 'promiscuous' is another woman's 'serial monogamy'.

I aim for about 40 or 50 years per relationship, but some women lack the staying power for that.

Mobile, read the blogs and you will see there are a lot of caring, compassionate and empathetic women on rsvp. Just think of the others as "eliminating them from your enquiries" and keep moving on.

Posted by: willow29 at August 27, 2008 6:40 AM

mobile3 at 10:45 PM: Once upon a time there were proverbs - brief statements of the commonsense wisdom of the ordinary people. When I was at school in the 1940s they were actually taught, and a typical test question could be:

Complete the following proverbs:

1) A stitch in time ...

2) It's a long road ...

3) Better to be sure ...

4) Least said, ...

In the 1970s there was a sudden change in educational focus - proverbs and traditional similies like 'happy as a pig in mud' were declared to be BORING CLICHES, and were to be abolished immediately.

Instead, every child was to invent its own new sayings out of its own experience and from its unique point of view, because originality in expression by every person at every age was the new supreme goal for communication.

Sounded to me rather like Mao's cultural revolution, trying to get rid of all the ancient wisdom collected by Confucius, and replace it with homegrown barnyard ignorance. A good way to make the next generation of the population much easier to control, I reckon.

OK, but what's this got to do with what's been happening to you in Loveland? Plenty.

Here are some relevant ancient proverbs, as best I can remember them:

* It's all a game. As soon as you hit the jackpot, you head off to look for the next challenge - someone else to hit on.

* If you want the best crop, never risk sowing your wild oats in the same place twice.

* Do 'em and then dump 'em, before they get possessive.

* Treat 'em mean and keep 'em keen.

* A woman, a dog and a walnut tree, the more you belt 'em, the better they be.

* Come in, sucker.

* Easy come, easy go.

* "Don't you be any feller's free sample!"
...............................................................

I guess you've got a choice:

1) Ape the male players, and as soon as you've road-tested a bloke in the sack, tell him thanks for quite a good performance, but you're looking for someone who can really turn you on. Time after time, all day. So goodbye.

OR

2) Play harder to get - I guess that means slower to get. A real player is looking to maintain his batting average, so If you take too long to come across, he'll cross you off the list, instead of wasting any more time seeing if he could seduce you eventually.

But remember Dorothy Parker's famous saying "A gentleman is just a wolf with more patience."

Posted by: timewarp1 at August 27, 2008 3:48 AM

Posted by: mobile3 at August 26, 2008 10:45 PM - Well, all that one (male) can offer here is that you've been taken for a ride by all the 'sex fiend' guys out there that so many of the fems on here protest against. They exist, no doubt. And so does a female variety of the same beast.

It's been said many times before - "choose wisely" - to the point that it's becoming a cliche. We start to enter the seemingly infinite cycle of risk-trust-fail-hurt.

What's the answer? I don't know. Therein lies the paradox - give up, you lose. Keep trying - you can still lose. Being one that has sustained various failed relationships, perhaps the 'gut' feeling rises above the norm. Sure, some people can sell ice to Eskimo's, but there comes a time in our life when we start to see things as they really are.

In no way can I, nor should I, judge the way you approach your fellow 'suitors'. Having said that, perhaps this is a time that you could re-evaluate your criteria for choosing who you meet, where, and under what circumstances. This has to work for you, as much as it does for them. You being the most important part of the equation. How far you go is entirely up to you. It's sad to hear anyone being considered a 'piece of meat' - either sex.

There are things we can do to help prevent that from happening again. Yet still, that can fail too. We've all been fed that bullsh!t line, and taken the bait. How far do we go? Who knows. Don't put in, you lose. Do put 'out', you still lose.

But, somewhere along the line, there's a gentle blend of heart, head, and gut, that let's us subtly know that we're 'on the right path', or we're way off it. Listen to your heart, think with your head, and feel from your gut.

If any one of those says 'no', maybe, just maybe, you're leaving yourself wide open to more of the same. Yet if you batten down all the hatches, you can cut yourself short.

Like I said before, I don't have any answers.- "P-Plater here". And so many of us don't. Perhaps it's time to take a bit of a back-seat, re-evaluate, and tread 'softly softy' ?

Re comment by timewarp1 of August 25. Have you been watching my life of late? Your breaking up RSVP process of 1,2,3,4 and 5 were spot on! That is exactly what happened to me recently! True! I seem to attract these arrogant men with no manners. Dumped over the phone after a passionate weekend together!! What is wrong with these guys?? Do women have no feelings according to them??

Posted by: mobile3 at August 26, 2008 10:45 PM

Posted by: willow29 at August 26, 2008 10:05 PM

Surely, Once people have met then it is taken offline and therefore any ensuing meetings or discussions should also be kept offline. It does seem entirely gutless to me for someone to be dumped online, however, if there has been no meeting or interraction then fair enough.

Posted by: iaminperth at August 26, 2008 9:46 PM

sorry - i don't agree :-) the reason we are all here is to meet someone and make some type of connection right?? so when we make contact (to any degree) then it is inappropriate to break up in such an impersonal way isn't it? besides it is plain bad manners!!

Posted by: iluv2laf at August 26, 2008 9:43 PM

I am Single, Sexy and Savy at 38 years young.

I have an older son your age.

My son also is single, sexy and 19 and is in Brissy working on the Tweed Head Tunnels project so keep your eyes out for him as he is precious cargo and worth the look to say HI I spoke with your funky mum xxx

I like to think that I am well raised, have manners, well rounded, a bit twisted at times but always try to find a balance and not include the words ALL and try to use the words some...simple maths and always said with love xx

You may read all the suggestions with interest and take all the good names as you are as bright as your beautiful picture and profile... good luck and when I am up the way next I will pop in to the nearest bar and see if you are there.

Good luck and peace out xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I said to a couple of people who commented on your number that it's a bit hard to get into real trouble showing your mobile number. It's not as if its the home addy or your PIN. RSVP doen't like it because it might stop the sale of a stamp or two, not because they are particularly worried about your welfare.
You are getting advice from women old enought to be your mother, grandmother and great grandmother and grandfatherly blokes .The young guys are a bit stupid and your are 'just friends' with the cleverer one. I reckon I might offer myself up as bf material in that case.

Don't know why you would be worried about my health LAT, I am doing great in that area.
Kaz, great taste! Arpege...I discovered it for my wedding day, fabulous true florals..
I have found a cure for getting dumped via the internet:
1) post on a blog that you are thinking of writing a book on your experiences - the ultimate kiss and tell,
2) the approaches cease,
3) get back to living, with all its many variations - away from dating,
4) stop dating,
5) don't get dumped anymore...
You see, it's easy when you try :)
I am amazed at how much reading and study I am getting done now that I am not trying to deal with amours from rsvp....
It's great!!!
So why stay on here?? I guess I must be attached to all you blogging people and just can't drag myself away...
And what other venue would allow me to practice the acting that lynath seems to think I am doing, and get such in-depth feedback..which is not bad considering that I had no idea I was acting at all.
Ah well, I guess bloggers should know me better than I know myself, so maybe my health is in danger and I should consider hypochondria as a new personal goal..
It is kinda good not getting chased, and so not having to fret about getting dumped. I can recommend being unapproachable as a wonderful way of avoiding all possible dating pains!!!

Posted by: espritlibrefemme at August 25, 2008 6:20 PM

Don't think I want to cross you Kaz. lol.

But I can actually understand a lot of people not being able to express their feelings. It may be an immaturity on their part, but it also can be much deeper. Upbringing has so much to do with character building, and there can be a lot of reasons for that 'run-away' mentality.

It is very sad though to think you could be in a relationship for several years and for it to end like that. No question about that.

But I certainly can relate to the fact that sometimes the words cannot come, and it would be easier for me to express through writing. But of course I would then expect that to lead on to verbal discussion. Don't know how many times I have to get up in the middle of the night simply to write, and get my "stuff" down on paper.

I'd also say though that someone you have just met once or a few times, and one or the other realises it will go no further, does it really matter about actual contact to bring closure. I certainly don't have a problem with an email or letter in that regard. But when it has become a relationship of sorts of course you would expect a more personal closure. That is only right.

ELF at August 24, 10:44 AM: Wanted to respond to this last night, but even after the adrenaline afterburn of evening tennis and winning my service to love twice in one night, I ran out of puff before 4am.

Seems there's a pattern to your disappointments, ELF, and I believe I know why. And it's not about you - it's about them, so I hope I can explain without giving you offence.

To me, the initial RSVP kiss, response, email or two and phonecall or 2 are just the mechanics of getting an agreement to a face-to-face meeting - something which I'm not egotistical or introverted enough to want to ration.

That's my first goal. And once there, I just want to enjoy starting to get to know someone new, and therefore interesting per se. Then after enjoying a few hours of face-to-face 2-way communication, I start to ask myself if I want a second meeting, and I ask her if she does.

If one of us doesn't, that's it and no hard feelings. We did have a pleasant time meeting someone new. Better than dining alone.

But if we both want to meet again, I try to arrange it there and then. And so on, meeting by meeting, till one of us has had enough. Hopefully not till many years later, if ever, ie. till death parts us..
.............................................................

There's another kind of man around, whose methodology is different, because his aims are different. He's the internet version of the Doer and Dumper.

A friend of mine used to be a Sallies phone counsellor on the evening shift. She had a man phone in late one evening, wanting to discuss a sexual problem. She went outside the guidelines and let him, and then realised quite soon that she was being used for phone sex. Told him she was hanging up so that he could concentrate on his wanking, undistracted by the need to talk to anyone.

I see the equivalent RSVP process as:

1) Find a profile that is obviously way out of your reach - a real catch/ inyerdreams girl.

2) Woo her from afar - so far afar that a meeting would be a really big effort.

3) Use each of her welcoming responses as a turn-on at the time.

4) When you've got her emotionally well-hooked, change your payoff from sex to power, and dump her. Still from a distance, and as impersonally as possible.

5) Block her immediately, so she's got no email comeback.

WB wrote an excellent magnum opus on the whole topic in the last day or two.

Boils down to Caveat emptor, and the best of British to all good-looking romantophiles, because you'll certainly need it.

I love working for myself. Can usually take most of Monday morning off. But now must hit the road. Seeyezall much later.

Posted by: timewarp1 at August 25, 2008 11:39 AM

Amberlight and Jen, avoidance may be a way of hiding from the hurt, but in the end those that do the gutless hiding KNOW what they have done and their conscience (spelling?) is their judge.
Right or wrong, l beleive that those who do not have the good grace and intestinal fortitude to actually SPEAK to let you know that their decision is thanks but no thanks are nothing but spineless creeps.
Oh, was that a bit blunt??? haha.........
Maybe they need a mirror turned on them instead......

Retail therapy for me this weekend was a bottle of Arpege.....beautiful...............K

Posted by: auntykaz at August 25, 2008 11:02 AM

esprit, i also did the retail therapy on the weekend, a new bed and mattress, upgraded to queen size, (but my old bed will go into the study, can't get rid of it cause it is over 100 years old, cast iron and brass) ...plus a bling bling ring...went to a vintage jewellery shop and bought a ring that is very 60's and I love it!!!! Retail therapy always works a treat!!!

Ignore that guy sending you the awful emails, he obviously can't read properly if he didn't get the No Thanks response in the beginning!!!

maestrac, totally agree, we are independant now, we don't need a man, but it sure nice to have a man to share you life with, who is genuine, wants to be with you and is the right one for you!!!!!!.

amberlight ~ 9.18PM. I tend to agree with you Amber. Avoidance of confrontation is a way of hiding from the hurt. "What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve." I think that can be very true. (There you go again with your wonderful way with words.)

I also think for a lot of people is it very hard to verbalise feelings. Writing can be a way to do that for so many. Even so, you would still assume that discussion would follow for any long or even short term relationship.

Back to read the reviews and for another performance I see. What is it with these older blokes getting crushes on you? Last count it was 4 in 3 months. I said to someone I was worried about your health; now I am fearful there may be a swathe of 60 and 70 yo men slowly dessicating on the end of slip knotted ropes in their shed or under their Queenslanders.

Our other resident female performer, voiceover alphaflambe takes no such risks of coming into contact with priapic hoi polloi. She can profile deconstruct and character assasinate via her bullhorn from offstage. No Actors Equity ticket needed. And no responsibility implied for any stool kicking blokes driven past despair.

Sounds like blueeyedbland hasn't had a decent service for quite a while.
Only 120 Ks over the cutting Grego? That alphaflambe approved estrogen dose is having it's effect. Disagreeing with her here on even a minor technical matter to do with tyres will have it increased substantially though..
My own last Anthony's Cutting at was at 105 Kmh and 14+ license points.
On car tyres. The 'tread' on tyres is actually a series of carefully designed connected grooves or 'sipes'. When the road is wet these work in the same way as drains, except they are not on the road, they are a rotating water pump that removes a layer of water stopping it becoming a no-friction wedge between the tyre and road surface.
Normal tyre to road grip is from the friction between the rubber and the road surface. The tread is not some sort of claw or gripper.
On high performance 'low profile' tyres the sipes are minimised in depth and number. This gives more rubber on the road for grip and less squirm (which is what you want when cornering fast). Real race tyres have no tread and very soft sticky rubber.
Road tyres that are right down to minimum height (but not showing damage like exposed steel belts) do have the best grip usually.
Cheers Marcus

Thanks bloggers, but it isn't poor ELF, and my blocked box if sooo full!!
That book is going to get written! I reckon I have some pretty amazing stories to tell, and changing the names to protect the not-so-innocent gives me leeway to write it all completely from my own viewpoint :)
La femme n'est pas morte, vive la femme!
I just find it all a bit eery how topical all these blog topics are...the rsvp folks must have a camera on my laptop...shucks, that could be embarassing! Sorry but the bubbly after being ditched for dinner tonight has really made the world look good!
Retail therapy is a remarkably good cure for all of life's ills....the dresses, the undies, the makeup, and the BLING.....despite anything I might say on here, I absolutely LURV being a woman...life is so amazingly fabulously HAPPENING, and without a man to judge me, I can wear this short lil black T-shirt dress, with my mambo multi-coloured tights showing drunken whistling dogs (how Aussie is that!), and my big dangly earrings, and my wickedly high heels, and my YSL eye shadow and my Chanel makeup, with my Gallery of Modern Art large tote bag over my shoulder, and shake my shimmy with the best of them! Sometimes it is just soooo great to be shallow! Let's go girls....

So the next time you are out there trying to pick up. Think to yourself I am a privilege not a necessity. And See how you go!
Cheers Rod

Hi Rod, pretty spot on with your post. I think these days most women, once they get over the shock of being on their own, knuckle down and become very independent. And as you say we don't "need" men in our lives, but we sure as hell enjoy having them there.

WB, bald tyres strictly speaking are only dangerous in the wet. A bald tyre provides better grip in the dry than a treaded tyre.

Stuart, Anthony's Cutting this evening was an easy 120kays. I think I will steadily work up the speed rather than have one big go.

Ouch H2H, 4 years! Pretty Horrible.
I'm not sure though that it meant your relationship meant nothing to your ex, although I am sure it feels a lot like it.
It may be like TD has said previously, some people just don't like to be around when the trigger is actually pulled and see all the pain and hurt their actions cause.
It was easier to be cowardly and pretend to herself that it didn't hurt you all that much.
You know, what the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve, type of attitude.
If she couldn't see your pain then it wasn't real (for her anyway!).

I hope so anyway. It's not pleasant to think that those years meant practically nothing to her.
It's a devastating discovery.

Yes, interpretation of any term makes quite a difference and even more so, in what context the term is actually used.
And no, sincrolad, I wouldn't.
I don't sit in judgement on other people's relationships and besides, it's absolutely none of my business!

Posted by: amberlight58 at August 24, 2008 8:59 PM

Nickeboo, welcome and seeing Im old enough to be your Mum - (and I can't say that for many bloggers!) may I suggest to be careful and if someone is interested in you, they will email. Don't leave yourself vulnerable. Others might not know what I mean, but I'm sure you do.

Posted by: willow29 at August 24, 2008 8:37 PM

Well I guess the world is full of 2-way streets...had an amazingly good day, felt sooooo great about myself....got on here and read my emails, one from a 68 year old who I have told I don't want contact with but he has still continually emailed and has kept writing until I ignored him....does that mean I dumped him? considering that I had told him no thanks (and he knows he is twelve years older than my preferred oldest age) and his email said (milder version presented here).....don't know if I am French or what but he is p*ssed off with people coming over here to act like we are too good for 'us Ausie guys' and I should p*ss off back...and more words, worse all round really...and I wonder, what is it about being 'popular' on rsvp that makes people think they have free range to pursue when told 'No thanks' then send such horrid emails??? If I get thrown over, I am at fault, some character flaw for being affected and having a big, open heart....if I don't keep being polite to someone who is this aggressive, I am at fault for being a foreigner who thinks too much of herself (this guy told me I think I am God's gift - all that insight gained from just reading my profile - gosh!)..... well, no one is going to rain on my parade....
The other blog is about risk-taking....I seem to be out there taking risks all around, and getting beaten around for doing so, but what the heck, yes, I am a romantic, and my response is that I am going out alone, partying on at a trendy bar, the kind of place that rsvp-ers are supposed to have had enough of, hence their trying to find their ideal on here (!), and I shall raise a glass or two of bubbly to being alive in this glorious place....foreigner or not....and I shall probably be taking less risks than replying to some guys on rsvp.....so I guess he thought I had 'dumped' him....
I am going to write a book one day....Virtual Bridget Jones.....so please any potential suitor who might be reading this blog...don't rain on my parade because life is tooooo short, fantastically good, and worth celebrating, rather than fighting...ok?
And kurli, watch out if a 68 year old spaceship tries to land in your yard, you know that 60s space vessel...sput.....something....just a hint..
PLEASE post this, Karina, please...

Posted by: espritlibrefemme at August 24, 2008 8:27 PM

Hi Guys, go easy on me im a new-b�personally I think dumping someone via email is really gutless, I mean cum on at least give me the respect and do it to my face, let me keep my dignity at least� wether you started dating online or not it is still considered in my eyes as low, it doesn�t only cause confusion, but in some cases it can cause emotional, physical and mental instability. Also if you�re going to break up via email, the person might be confused because the internet doesn�t express emotion, which in any kind of conversation plays a big part. You might receive an email saying its over I never want to see you again, ok far enough easy to understand.. But because there is no emotion it is hard to be interpreted any other way then just what it says. for example if someone actually said to me �Leave me alone I never want to see you again�, I will interpret it as I have done something wrong, something�s up, they are crying out for help, they are just in a bad mood etc..and if they sent it to me via email it would jus be Oh no what have I done wrong, Oh No please no�.It is hard to explain exactly what I mean, but its like someone will say something but mean something else and it all depends on the way you interpret it, and its hard to do that when it is written text, so if your going to dump someone at least have the courage to face them and say it don�t email it!

Posted by: nickeboo at August 24, 2008 7:47 PM

Blueyedblond, it's what you pay your mechanic for when you get a service. The RACV will come to your rescue after the accident caused by the bald tyres - if you survive it. The undertaker will come if you don't. Bald tyres are seriously dangerous, and I think that's what motivated Tassie to say something.

I like Willow's strategy for the other things that go wrong with cars. Lateral thinking, Willow...I like it!

Posted by: waterbombe at August 24, 2008 7:33 PM

Willow As long as you get there safely then no I don't have to worry about you as there is always a chance, a slim chance, that sometime in the future we may meet and become friends (friends only). If you didn't get there safely then there is no chance of that happening at all.
I know you guys are all fiercely independent and I meant no disrespect. Still, blue eye's it doesn't hurt to check. I do it all the time.
Gotta go to work now. Wish it wasn't so.

Posted by: tassiedude1 at August 24, 2008 4:29 PM

Isn't that what I pay the RACV for Rod????

Posted by: blueyedblond at August 24, 2008 3:46 PM

Thanks Rod - would you have worried about me otherwise?

Ladies, a good tip if you're ever stuck with car or tractor - Wear short demins, flip the hood up, lean into the engine bay and look helpless. Someone always comes and helps (even if you're wearing blundstones).

Posted by: willow29 at August 24, 2008 3:39 PM

Willow I am glad you have got it together and I don't need to worry about you.
For everyone else; Travel safe with your precious cargo's.
Lots of love

"So if you run your hand over the inside of the front tyres and you prick your fingers with fine metal wire THEN IT NEEDS CHANGING STRAIGHT AWAY". - that used to be me, Rod - in fact a policeman pulled me over once and cut his finger on my tyre.... luckily I just got a warning.

Today I not only service my own car, including changing oil, checking water, fluids, tyre pressure etc, but I also regularly fight - er fx - my tractor, which I learnt to drive recently. Often it wins but Im still learning.

Yes a bit disheartening, and disappointing, but I am definitely a realist in life, and you cant keep this little black (or blonde :)) duck down for long. So, I sent a message back saying "that was a bit harsh" and left it at that. And back I came to RSVP and it has been a bumpy but interesting ride so far. I am not one to indulge in much introspective navel gazing, or ponderings about the meaning of life, I am busy working, socialising, and doing things with my grown up kids, and I know I will find that "just right" bloke one day !!

Posted by: blueyedblond at August 24, 2008 3:10 PM

Amberlight58,
I guess interpretation can be an issue as you say.....
How about this:::
A married business couple who are well bonded good mates could say..." How about we arrange an shortHooKup in Paris for when your finished in London and Im finished in NY?...."
....deduction:...Some folk simply like to put a less serious slant on their quality relationship, >> that does mean it is less loyal,sincere,genuine or wholesome..... but I guess if you sat next to him or her in the Airport while they spoke to each other on the phone, you would most likely pigeon hole, judge or place a value on their realtionship purely according to your erroneous preconcieved frame of mind.

ELF, "if someone rings continually, says they want to travel up from NSW just to meet you, keeps ringing and texting and emailing, and keeps saying how much you are someone soooo special, wants to know everything you are doing so rings and texts all the time", they (watch my lips) ARE NOT GENUINE. That's why they "dump you via an rsvp email on a Sunday morning".

I just posted about this on the Risky Blog...I don't know if it's appeared yet, but you might like to have a read. I think you are a Romantic getting done over. You don't deserve it. Don't fall for all this smooth "you are wonderful" talk...he hasn't even met you....anyone worthwhile will get to know you before he carries on like a pork chop. So to speak.

Posted by: waterbombe at August 24, 2008 1:26 PM

Amberlight.
I couldn't agree more with your entire post.
I think that the number of males out there, who still believe that a woman “needs” a man, would surprise you. That she relies on him for financial, emotional and physical support and fulfilment.
Well I'm here to tell you fellas that in this day and age there is nothing further from the truth.
Women don’t “need” guys; fair enough they would like someone to share all of their experiences with but they can get along just fine without him. In fact the amount of women who work all day, then drive to the supermarket, then go fill up the car, then drive home then cook, then feed the ravenous kids, then do the laundry and then……….
Anyway if I were a girl he would have to be someone pretty f***ing special before I could do a load of his washing.
So the next time you are out there trying to pick up. Think to yourself I am a privilege not a necessity. And See how you go!
Cheers Rod
PS. One thing you girls are not so good at is checking the tyres of your car. So if you run your hand over the inside of the front tyres and you prick your fingers with fine metal wire THEN IT NEEDS CHANGING STRAIGHT AWAY. If you are concerned that your tyres are balding then they probably are and you need free advice from a professional.
PPS Marcus.........go easy

Re:[Amberlight58 24Aug10:59]"..Sure sincrolad, I am open to the going to the "movies,eating out, having a simple beer, going overseas, or any other activity one agrees upon together, for a few days, weeks, months?." but I see that type of relationship as more of a friendship/relationship than just as a simple "hook-up".[end quote].......
If thats your interpretation of the term "short Hookup" fine, however many folk & several friends both local/global with varied lifestyles , dont share the same narrow rigid view of the term. They have no problem understanding the context of "Nice to hear from you....want to hook up and do some things next your in town?"
....
We dont base our link on promises or expectations, we simply move to the real world variable dynamics[changes] of life.
There are none so blind as those with eyes to see but choose not to.

Amberlight hits the proverbial nail on the head and I concur with her in all she has written. It is like the old 'Forrest Gump' analogy of the box of chocolates. If you do not want to climb the mountain remain of the bicycle path as you are not willing to face your own challenges of spirit.

Posted by: tolteceagle at August 24, 2008 12:21 PM

This is the first time for me commenting on the blog. A new experience.
I ask one simple question, where has the decency gone of treating other people how you would expect to be treat, a hackneyed cliche but true when you use the internet to break-off a relationship.
It is obvious to me that there is a lack of integrity and this person will have this lacking in their lives until they face up to owning their actions and subsequent consequences to moved forward to having a relationship which has true substance and respect.
I would look in the mirror of your soul more deeply.
I live in a very small country town and know the frustration of traveling to meet someone when there is little here, however, if you are not willing to put your toe in the water how do you know what the temperature is

Posted by: tolteceagle at August 24, 2008 12:15 PM

Sincrolad...I confess to not reading all the previous posts, so maybe I am wrong when I pick up a vibe that some are criticizing your profile...I read it and loved it..what a breath of fresh air !! You will attract a like minded woman that gets this....any one who doesn't isnt the right woman for you.

I personally like profiles that are individual and reveal the essence of a person who writes in a positive light. Mystery goes a long way too.

Some however feel they need to spell out what they will and will not tolerate..in life, with a partner, even their expectations on RSVP..to me this is a negative spin on love & life....

I have to say that the majority of profiles I read..whether male or female..talk about what they don't want..and the ones that do talk about what they want are smothered in cliches..the beach walk, the red wine, the "I look younger than my age" flotilla....dare I mention the "Im not into playing games" group that come across to me as people who have low self esteem and are therefore not capable of setting healthy boundaries.

Your profile is great..good luck.

Posted by: femalepersuasion at August 24, 2008 11:55 AM

H2H, after four years (or even 4 months) its cowardly to send an email to end a relationship. Much like the text messages people send nowadays - can't even bother to spell the message correctly!

Posted by: willow29 at August 24, 2008 11:35 AM

Well said, Amber. I agree completely.

Posted by: willow29 at August 24, 2008 11:32 AM

ELF, omg, that is nothing but bad form, purely and simply.........To let someone know you are no longer interested by text or email is the height of disrespect, for others and for themselves. You are far better off without people like that around your positive self.
What on earth is in the mind of someone like that l wonder? Apart from the obvious.
And what do they think of when they know that you will be at the very least mildly annoyed at their actions?
Ooohh too many questions without answers there, for who knows what they are thinking!
I think a bit of cynicism is not a bad thing to have at times, a bit like a bit of teflon coating, self protection whatever you want to call it.
Enjoy your time at the beach, put bad thoughts out of your head and have a lovely day.......................K
