I haven't been to that part of the U.S. - just along the bottom southern states when my family drove across from Florida to California back in 1981. But I've seen pics of some of the awesome "autumn vistas" of parts of the U.S., and Canada - stunning!! A photographer's dream place to waste a few...

Many thanks Oyster :)(y)

Many thanks for your apology 1ofthem, although my thought about the thread, the one I started, being derailed was more due to Lynx choosing to be combative and trying to "put me in my place". I might be a n00b here, but I've earned my stripes over the decades and don't appreciate brothers and...

Thanks for your, uh, thoughts Lynx. You are tactless and blunt, but at least you're honest. Perhaps you and the Apostle Paul will get on well together when you meet up in the next life? :p I've read through your post, and the take away I got from that is this: you and others here consider this...

Part 3 I regularly get help with my own issues from the pastor at my own church (who has a specialized ministry dealing with inner healing and heart issues), which includes seeking his advice for others I might be helping. All that said, I weigh all advice I get against my own standards, the...

Part 2: * In your original post, you said that you had chosen to pull the plug on a dead marriage, and you have my sympathies for what you went through. When do you personally define a marriage as being "dead," and when do you believe it's Biblically allowed to divorce? (Some on the forum do...

Thanks for your reply soulsearch. I'm still marginally hopeful to salvage something useful on this thread, despite it quickly devolving into Quora-esque rancor and needless unpleasantness, but, we'll see how it goes. I'll do my best to answer your questions, but make no promises to not being...

It's my style of expressive writing SuzzyQ. I'm just someone who's had a very "interesting" life, who is empathetic and is good at communication, and who enjoys helping people. If my style doesn't suit you - and clearly it doesn't - then, that's OK. We each have styles we enjoy. I'm a super...

Thanks!!! Any prayers for avoiding another drought like the one that clobbered this area for 4 months earlier this year greatly appreciated. It looks nice at the moment, but although the grass has staged a good come back (it was all dead and looking very horrid from Feb to April), the drought...

Thanks stepbystep. I love doing surveys, and although they don't pay well, I am signed up with a number of places that do surveys like Opinion World, Colmar Brunton, Perceptive Panel and such. I was speaking with my fiancee the other day, who lives in another country at the moment, and she...

Many thanks Deade! Nice to feel welcomed! :):love:

Speaking of my fav colours, some of them are best seen here, in recent photos around the small farm I'm living on at the moment:

Many thanks Magenta. You clearly have a strong fondness for the colour magenta! :D;) I rather like the juxtaposition of yellow and purple, as well as yellow / purple / green, and green / yellow / blue, particularly on a lovely spring day where the sky is a lovely deep cyan, the spring growth is...

Noticed 2 typos at the end that I couldn't edit for some reason: That's a real challenge, especially if a couple of have truly rushed into marriage. But, the Lord is able, especially when BOTH parties in a marriage are willing to work on things, see seek the Lord, and seek genuine, real...

OK, fair enough Lynx, I see what you mean. I think my answer still has relevance, but I take your point about the finer focus being on AFTER one is married. I got kinda tunnel-focused on the portion talking about "getting married just to have sex" [sic]. So, does getting married offer any...

Cheers, mar09 :)

Thanks very much for the welcome, tourist. I've had a bumpier intro in one of the other threads, so nice to have a more genteel, polite and warm reception here :)(y)

Fair enough, Lynx. Yet, a quick perusal of the first page of topics shows there are plenty of people looking to not be single and who want advice about relationships. So, yes, clearly there are people like you on this thread who have no interest in being in a relationship, but from what I've...

That, my friend, is an EXCELLENT question!!! In a general way, I've tussled with the whole area of sexuality for pretty much my whole life. I won't go into details - and there are plenty to be had, ha ha - but suffice it to say I've had to wrestle, often, persistently, with pretty much all the...

Because singles need as much help as they can get, Lanolin. No point having the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff. It's far better, IMHO, to offer advice to those looking to get into serious relationships. Since I've observed most people have little to no idea about how to have a good...
