Anyone for Coffee? (no boys allowed)

[Nightshade]

hey cool a soap on the litnet?!:brow: seems a bit Dynasty at the moment but good except where are the shoulder pads people??
:lol:

[kathycf]

Shoulder pads and big ol' hair. Gosh, the 80's were great. :p

[Schokokeks]

But I'll have a spot of Earl Grey, if you don't mind, and Cookie (hope you don't mind the nickname, Schokokeks, m'dear!), would you pass that tray of tempting biscuts? Jolly nice day, is it not? :)

Of course, I don't mind being called Cookie, Uncle Pen :). I like the nick, Kathy ! And I won't ever again confuse you with a muffin, I promise :p.

Here you go ! *gets up to present the cookie tray to Uncle Pen, asking for a cup of Earl Grey (yummie!) in exchange :)*

[Pendragon]

Thank you, m'dear Cookie! I have this horrible way of nicknaming people and then getting them stuck with it, so I ask now. Some have been stuck with one of my nickname's and are still known by them 30 years later! :lol:

[Shannanigan]

I've got a caffeine headache...any other Coca-Cola addicts in here? :p

[miss tenderness]

God knows how much I missed the ladies chit chatting!

[Shalot]

I was wondering does coffee flavoured pepsi count as coffee???



Where would I find coffee flavored Pepsi? I am curious but not sure if I would like the taste of it? Is it good?

I've had coke black and it wasn't so great: (or rather coke blak)

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n25/Shalot_bucket/coke-black.jpg

[kathycf]

Coke is Coke and coffee is coffee and I don't know if they should meet. At first it sounded good, but then I thought it might just be too sweet. I like Diet Coke better than Coke anyway because regular soda just tastes too syrupy. Maybe I will try it when they come out with Diet Coke blak.

[Nightshade]

yes but Coke zero is better :nod:
no coffee flavoured pepsi is revolting unfortunattly it also appears to be highly addictive....

[Schokokeks]

Some have been stuck with one of my nickname's and are still known by them 30 years later! :lol:
I'd feel honoured to ! :nod:

Coffee -and- coke ? Wow, you're all very daring as to your taste buds! The normal coffee and the normal coke taste on their own both suffice to make me sick. And the only chocolate that I really can't stand is coffee flavoured one...

[Pendragon]

I'd feel honoured to ! :nod:

Coffee -and- coke ? Wow, you're all very daring as to your taste buds! The normal coffee and the normal coke taste on their own both suffice to make me sick. And the only chocolate that I really can't stand is coffee flavoured one... Now why did I know you'd say something like that, Cookie? ;)

If you think Coffee flavored chocolate is bad, try coffee flavored hard candy, or as a friend used to say "Cold Nescafe". http://www.invision.smileyville.net/smilies/badtaste (9).gif

[kathycf]

Nooooo! Those are great! My nana got me hooked on them as a kid. You just have to remember to brush your teeth after because they are sort of sticky.

http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h56/kathycf/coffee_nips.jpg

[Schokokeks]

Now why did I know you'd say something like that, Cookie? ;)
Because you are well aware that I happen to like you dearly ? ;)

Uaa ! *shudders* If ever I get those for Christmas, I'll mail them over to you, Kathy ! ;)

[kathycf]

Uaa ! *shudders* If ever I get those for Christmas, I'll mail them over to you, Kathy ! ;)
3 cheers for Cookie! :)

[Shalot]

Nips are okay --- coke blak is not so much.

[Madhuri]

Some view points.........




If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.


Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior.


Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.


Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not meant to be.


Slower is better. Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.


If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve then heck no, you can't "be friends".


A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend. Don't settle.


If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is. Don't stay because you think "it will get better.” You’ll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.


The only person you can control in a relationship is you.


Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women. He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, why would he treat you any differently?


Always have your own set of friends separate from his.


Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. If something bothers you, speak up.


Never let a man know everything.* He will use it against you later.


You cannot change a man's behavior.* Change comes from within.


Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are... even if he has more education or in a better job.


Do not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man, nothing more nothing less. Never let a man define who you are.


Never borrow someone else's man. If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you.


A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.


All men are NOT dogs.


You should not be the one doing all the bending...compromise is two way street.


You need time to heal between relationships...there is nothing cute about baggage... deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship.


You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you...a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals...look for someone complimentary...not supplementary.


Dating is fun...even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right.


Make him miss you sometimes...when a man always know where you are, and you're always readily available to him - he takes it for granted.


Never move into his mother's house.


Never co-sign for a man.


Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need.* Keep him in your radar but get to know others.

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n25/Shalot_bucket/coke-black.jpg

mmm what flavor is Coke Blak? It looks...interesting!!

[kathycf]

I like your quote Maddie, some very sage advice.

Vintage, Coke Blak is a combination of Coke and coffee. Whether that is a good or bad thing depends on your point of view. ;)

So, here is a trivial question for the ladies. If you are going on a trip and only have room to pack 2 beauty related items what would you bring? My vote is for sunblock and lip balm.

[Nightshade]

Never move into his mother's house.
.

even I know that one:nod:

[Pendragon]

Slightly revised

With my most sincere apologies, Maddie! ;)

· If a woman wants you, don’t expect her to tell you. If she doesn't want you, trust me, you’ll be the first to know!.

· Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior, you’re too busy explaining your own!

· Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache. (Un-huh. The same intuition that causes a woman to say when SHE calls the law over a domestic dispute and is obviously injured, “Don’t lock him up. He didn’t mean it. I love him.” Better get your intuitions checked and dump the jerk!)

· Why are you trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not working, for crying out loud?

· Slower is better. Never give anything to anyone you can’t get back before you find what makes you truly happy.

· If a relationship ends, then let it END. No, you can't "be friends". That’s a disaster waiting to happen!

· A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend. Darn right! Friends do “pressure” friends either.

· If you feel like he/she is stringing you along, then he/she probably is. (Boy, there’s a revelation from on High! Next you’ll notice he/she likes you for your body!)

· The only person you can control in a relationship is you. (Ever heard of “hormones”?)

· Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women. Or women with a string of kids by different fathers. RED FLAG!)

· Always have your own set of friends separate from his. (And a tip. If he/she finds his/her friends more interesting than you, drop him/her like a hot potato!)

· Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. If something bothers you, speak up. (Preferably loud enough to attract the Police.) (And men, if something about the girl bothers you, make an exit on any excuse!)

· Never let a man know everything.* He will use it against you later. (Oh, yeah, like a woman wouldn’t! Ever heard the hit song Girls Lie Too?)

· You cannot change a man's behavior.* Change comes from within. (His wallet. You’ll never change his ways. Or hers either, for that matter!)

· Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are... even if he has more education or in a better job. (A good point. Equal rights and all. Heck, tell him you can open your own darn door!)

· Do not make him into a quasi-god. He will do that on his own. Never let a man define who you are. You know you are a Goddess!

· Never borrow someone else's man. If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you. (And vice-versa,)

· A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you. (And if you don’t allow him, he probably will find someone who will. And a woman who wants to be treated like cut glass will eventually find a man who is willing to do so. There are men who will be a doormat for a woman to walk on as well.)

· All men are NOT dogs. (They have ran with the pack at some time or other, however. All women are not frigid, either, but they have some experience with the old cold shoulder.)

· Compromise is a two way street, with “one way” signs pointing toward each other.

· You need time to heal between relationships...there is nothing cute about baggage... deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship. (I.E. Men or women: your next date doesn’t want to be your crying towel!)

· You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you...a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals (I.E. Dating is a means to an end, and that is a relationship, not a one-night stand!)

· Dating is fun...(I take it you have never been shot down in front of others before…).

· Make him miss you sometimes...when a man always know where you are, and you're always readily available to him - he takes it for granted. (He doesn’t take it for granted, girl, he OWNS you! Get out before it’s two darn late. Same for a man. If she’s got to know your every move, scram!)

· Never move into his mother's house. (Unless you are married and then only VERY BRIEFLY. No house was made for two families.)

· Never co-sign for a man. (Or anyone is my word on that!)

· Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need.* Keep him in your radar but get to know others. (FOO! Drop him and move on. If he doesn’t get the picture pretty quick, he never will. Same for a girl. If every time you have a date she is invariably late, quarrelsome, or on the phone and hangs up quickly, drop her. She is still fishing, and you aren’t quite what she wants.) :p

[Nightshade]

bravo now I have this wonderful advice but no use for it. :(
Ahhh Im never going to do the dating thing but it suddenly occurred to me if I dont get married within the next 7 years thats it Im on the shelf Ill end up all alone :eek2: and Ill never have anyone to fuss over when Im 60 ! :bawling:

Oh, ok, I see you have. Hormonal panic, eh? Ooops, sorry. ;)

[Nightshade]

well it is if you are an egyptian :nod: I mean cripes I had a guy ( selling me a ticket to get into the international book fair I didnt even know him or anything!) try and get me to talk to a matchmaker when I was 14 :eek2: course there she was yelling at the man all " what are you doing I dont even know who she is, she might be anybody" in the end I threw the money at the guy and ran...

[Madhuri]

Interesting points, Pen. :nod:

Kathy -- I will keep some soap/facewash and a moisturiser.

[Virgil]

Nooooo! Those are great! My nana got me hooked on them as a kid. You just have to remember to brush your teeth after because they are sort of sticky.

http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h56/kathycf/coffee_nips.jpg

My mother eats them all the time too.

[kathycf]

They are the only kind of hard candy I like.

[Schokokeks]

Hmm, for your two items, Kathy, I'd pick mascara and a brush (I have nothing but bad-hair-days :p).

[miss tenderness]

are we picking two stuff of cosmotics,if so >>>I always take a gloss and kohol or eyeliner:)



I really love make up,my speciality.

[Laindessiel]

Seems like Miss T. is fond of painting her face! For me, I'd choose just the perfect foundation color for my skin tone, a natural-pink lip GLOSS (If matte lipsticks are the only available line of lipsticks in the world today, doesn't matter if I have deadly-looking lips on the verge of collapsing peeling anytime because I'd NEVER use it. Too dry and pale-looking.), a blusher-bronzer and a curlash. Those are it. I like my face to be as natural as they can be, only accentuating and flattering the areas that need it.

[optimisticnad]

hello evwryone! heartbreaking that i created this thread and yet im never around to enjoy things! im just so so busy, xmas time is just mad for me, with uni and work! anyway just thought id say hi and see you all sometime in 2009. lol. x x

Gosh ! I really hate exams.

[Virgil]

hello,opti,how was ur exam?
Gosh ! I really hate exams.

Yeah, but aren't you a teacher now? You must be giving lots of them. :D

[Pendragon]

Interesting points, Pen. :nod:

They were mostly yours, Maddie dear, with just advice to men as well added. Only a few little digs, but not meant to be taken in a mean way. It isn't really in me to be mean, if anything, I apologize too much and that in and of itself becomes a nuciance to people! :p :)

[Pendragon]

Hmm, for your two items, Kathy, I'd pick mascara and a brush (I have nothing but bad-hair-days :p).Hee-hee! Considering the rate at which my brother, (four years younger than myself) is losing his hair, the fact that I still have mine makes it a good-hair day! :lol:

[miss tenderness]

Yeah, but aren't you a teacher now? You must be giving lots of them. :D

I do. now they do not bother me! what bothers me is putting them and then correcting them:lol: life goes. We used to be tesetd now we test!

[Nightshade]

humm my herbal essences ( my one luxery) and deodrant.

:D

[miss tenderness]

shampooo?I use it too.

[mir]

Gosh ! I really hate exams.

[Shannanigan]

Hmmm....I don't wear makeup...

my exams start tommorow! :eek:

and I need chocolate! :D

[Madhuri]

Here's another test -- How Boyish or Girlish are you??

Mine was --

***You Are 30% Boyish and 70% Girlish***

Even if you're not a girl, you're very feminine.
You're in touch with your feelings, and your heart rules you.
A bit of a emotional roller coaster, one moment you're up and the next you're down.
But no matter what, you try to be as cute and perky as possible.

How Boyish or Girlish Are You? (http://www.blogthings.com/howboyishorgirlishareyouquiz/)

[grace86]

Maddie, I got the same as you.

My exams start next week :sick: My study must have's are chocolate, coca cola...and yeah, perhaps something salty. I tend to leave wrappers and crumbs all over my things though.

Hmm...my two most important things in regards to makeup...blush, and lip gloss probably. (But then thinking about my hairbrush and deoderant I might change that :p)

[Pendragon]

I knew there was a reason why I fit in anound here ...:lol:

You Are 50% Boyish and 50% Girlish

You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch.
Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes.
You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them.
You're just you. You don't try to be what people expect you to be.


And that's Uncle Pen! http://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/tiere/c090.gif

[grace86]

Aww Pen! You just understand people it seems to me. Your poetry is also very in touch with others and your own emotions. I'll bet you have a well balanced personality with both sexes. A people person!! :D

[Misscaroline]

This is weird...

You Are 70% Boyish and 30% Girlish

Um... does that mean little old me is more masculine than Pen? I don't think so... What the heck is going on here?...

We need a nickname for you..."Misscaroline" is too long to time!

[Misscaroline]

Have I not signed off with MC enough to get the point of shortness across? Miss C or MC is dandy, thanks, unless you care to concoct yet another...

[RobinHood3000]

I could, but I don't think it'd be appropriate to say in public. :blush:

[dramasnot6]

yay! 50-50. It's nice to be gender neutral. No pressure.

[Misscaroline]

Sweet- whereas I think I'll go grab a beer and watch the game...

And Robin, don't tease! What is it? If not now, then you must tell me later!!!

[RobinHood3000]

Well, I'd hoped that'd be an innuendo I wouldn't have to answer, but if I have to come up with one...ever heard that song "Itty-Bitty Pretty One"? :p

[Misscaroline]

Nyeh. You are a rotten little thing, you are! But that's what happens what happens when you bluff and I catch you. Note to Robin: Never play strip poker with MC...

[RobinHood3000]

And why not? Wouldn't you like to see me suck at poker? :brow: Or would you prefer Twister?

[Misscaroline]

Ok, so no one is ever going to want to look at this forum ever again... I'll tell you my thoughts on it later...

[dramasnot6]

:eek: *temporarily hides from thread*:p

[Misscaroline]

Sorry Drame! Do I need to digi-smack Robin for you? I still have the stick! ~brandishes sabre~ Well, sort of...

[dramasnot6]

:lol: Naw, tis ok Miss C. I'm just feigning a prude:p You guys continue with whatever it was you were doing...ill head myself over to see how my new thread is doing....:D

[dramasnot6]

:bawling: it's slowly dying *prepares thread gravestone*

[mir]

hehe! i am an enuch! :D 50-50.

as for Robin and "MC" - do we need to get you guys a chaperone?? :lol:

[Pendragon]

I'd volunteer, being a minister, but if they don't play "strip poker" (you couldn't get me in that game with a hot iron! I myself would be too embarassed!), but regular poker, deal me in! Haven't lost a game in some time. Some old habits die hard! :lol:

[Virgil]

I guess that's right.

You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch.

Wohoho! What made them say that? Right smack into the truth! Never too girly, never too masculine. :banana:

[Misscaroline]

Pen: If ever we play a straight game, consider yourself dealt in. Do you prefer 5 Card, Hold 'Em, or something else? And you'll have to try hard to beat me- it's been a while since someone got me in poker too. I just like to play, but everyone seems to forget that I am not my haircolor...

Drame: Ignore Robin. I'll smack him when I get the chance. He really needs to learn what to say to me on a forum...

grace86: Oh, I miss you! I miss you all! But yes, I was happy for the stick. I still have a six foot pole to use, too, if I happen to need it...

mir: ...maybe... :blush:...

And Pen, I'd love it if you'd chaperone. It'd be just as much fun anyways...:angel:

[grace86]

aww you miss me?! I was just looking for you!

[Misscaroline]

Well, I'm supposed to be cleaning, but I'lll be here every little while! Why were you looking for me?:confused:

[grace86]

I sent my best friend a message...quite a few...and he won't talk to me :bawling:

[ShoutGrace]

I sent my best friend a message...quite a few...and he won't talk to me :bawling:

Perhaps you should try using your "feminine charm." ;)

[grace86]

Perhaps you should try using your "feminine charm." ;)

I think that's what perhaps screwed things up in the first place.

[Misscaroline]

Erm... then I don't know what to tell you. If you don't mind me asking, what happened? (No obligation to answer- but sometimes it helps to get a shoulder to lean on or advice. But we'll still love you if you tell silly lil MC to can it! I am sorry by the way... Is there anything I can do to make you feel better??)

[ShoutGrace]

I think that's what perhaps screwed things up in the first place.

I think that you're thinking too much. :D What are the other possible reasons for this lack of communication?

[grace86]

Well MC, just letting you know cuz you and I were discussing it yesterday and the day before I think...just letting you know how it turned out.

Hm, story, kinda long. Short (very very short) version goes like this: I've had guy best friend for six years. Fiancee doesn't like him, like an idiot I try to keep both best friend and fiancee...doesn't work. Umm, fiancee told me to not talk to best friend (which is a long story in itself) and after a series of events where I ignored best friend in presence of fiancee, best friend now ignoring me permanently....reciprocity.

[grace86]

Erm... then I don't know what to tell you. If you don't mind me asking, what happened? (No obligation to answer- but sometimes it helps to get a shoulder to lean on or advice. But we'll still love you if you tell silly lil MC to can it! I am sorry by the way... Is there anything I can do to make you feel better??)

I just think the venting helps...can't be too emotional at work anyway.

[ShoutGrace]

Hm, story, kinda long. Short (very very short) version goes like this: I've had guy best friend for six years. Fiancee doesn't like him, like an idiot I try to keep both best friend and fiancee...doesn't work. Umm, fiancee told me to not talk to best friend (which is a long story in itself) and after a series of events where I ignored best friend in presence of fiancee, best friend now ignoring me permanently....reciprocity.

(A) I think that fiancee needs to be smacked upside the head.

(B) I've had my share of unfortunate experiences on that front (i.e., girlfriends having "close" friends of the opposite gender), so I'm not a good source of information, I guess . . . I would immediately agree with the fiancee, but that is just because I've learned to be that way through experience.

(A) It isn't ever right to be rude or callous towards somebody, simply because they have been a good friend to you. Fiancee is being unreasonable, and his dictating of your actions is hurting someone who doesn't deserve it.

Of course, in an ideal world the one who you love and want to be with should be able to trust you, and not feel threatened.

But it's a less than ideal world.

[Misscaroline]

ShoutGrace, that ideal world makes you sound like a pessimist.

But I agree with ShoutGrace. It's ludicruous to ask you to give up a friend, and Fiancee should be more reasonable without grounds for his animosity. I also think that if you want to try and be friends again, you should, but be careful. The events sound rather tangled as it is. And I would also prescribe a minor thumping to knock some sense into Fiancee- grace86, you are a wonderufl person as far as I can tell, and there's no reason he should doubt you or your choices! Besides, your company is your company. Tell him to deal.

[grace86]

This is truly a "girl's thread" conversation. :D Emotional distraught and all.

You make good points, but it would take forever to elaborate on some of the points that you mentioned. I can agree that it is very definitely not an ideal world.

Fiancee has grounds.

[Misscaroline]

Ah. That was what I was worried about. I just didn't want to accuse you of anything you didn't deserve...

...so how bad is it? :eek: I really want to help, but there is only so much I can do online...:bawling:

[ShoutGrace]

ShoutGrace, that ideal world makes you sound like a pessimist.

How about realist? :D

Females are not always faithful, and as far as my experiences are concerned, I wish that I would have been more suspecting of other men. I can't help the fact that I agree with fiancee's motives - one of the reasons that I am single is the fact that I couldn't restrict a romantic interest's list of friends, and I very well might if I was in a relationship. Especially if "indiscretions" have already taken place.

[grace86]

MC, lol, people can usually ask me anything. If I don't want to answer, I tell them to go away.

After a fight with my fiancee that I was telling my best friend about, he realized he had feelings for me.

He told me I shouldn't keep that from my fiancee. So I told him. Naturally my fiancee doesn't want me to talk to him. And I cannot hate my fiancee for that.

So, as mentioned before, I listened to my fiancee.

[Misscaroline]

Ah, so I was right in presuming that you didn't actually do anything wrong? Or is there more to the story?

[Nightshade]

:eek:

thats all :eek2:

[grace86]

Nope that's it. I'm a good girl!

[grace86]

Well hello Night! Glad to see I've got you engrossed :D

[Madhuri]

I listened to my fiancee.

sorry to interrupt...:p

I would say -- listen to yourself.....what does you heart says???

So far you have been listening to either your friend or fiancee, and I think they are trying to steer the way for you, telling you what to do....

friend -- tell your fiancee -- you do as he says
fiancee -- dont talk to him -- and again you do what he says....

where is your opinion or wish in here.....

EDIT -- since I dont know the whole story, so please ignore if this advise seems irrelevant....:D

[Nightshade]

yes only I have no popcorn...

sorry its just since Ive never had a boyfriend type thing I fiiger to learn from other people

[Misscaroline]

Night's going to have an aneurysm! :p

Grace, you don't know how happy I am to know the story. Let me think... have you tried to make Fiancee realize that you wanted him to know the truth, but that you would never act on the knowledge of Friend's feelings? I think that would give it a start- put Fiancee back in line, since he wasn't exactly kosher in telling you what to do.
Next, is it Friend who has a problem not being friends? Or not being more than friends? If friend can accept being friends, then you three might be able to find some equilibrium... Or is Friend upset because you don't/won't reciprocate the feeling? That's an entire different thing...

And Madhuri, that is good advice. Grace, how DO you feel about all of this?

[grace86]

Interruption okay! It is a girl issue is it not?! :p

What do I want? To not be so confused!!!!! Well, I wish I could go back to having both of them happily coexist, because that would make my existence a little less tense. :p I used to be able to have both. But it is clear I have to decide now. What I want is to know the right thing to do (don't worry, I am not asking for anyone to answer this for me :D )

[Misscaroline]

Wish granted- you will find out what to do, and it will be exactly what you wanted all along! (No bad side effects.)

[grace86]

Night's going to have an aneurysm! :p

Fiancee does realize I wouldn't act on any of that. He is just insecure because I really valued the friendship with my best friend. He thinks it would cause problems if things "went back to normal"

My best friend, in saying what he did, was only trying to be honest with me. Everything was honest between us. He was fine with the fact that I wouldn't return his sentiments, and I guess you could say - even moved on. He is just upset probably because he wants things to go back to normal.

(I should write a short story on all of this. I think I would have all female vote :p )

[Nightshade]

Well excuse me but just a thought maybe if you dont feel the same as friend its probably best for him as well as for your current stress levels to just be cut off for a while.

Sorry I went to seeThe Holiday last night. :nod::rolleyes:

That's one of options I was thinking about.

[Misscaroline]

grace86, it sounds like you're getting to that ideal stage of knowing what to do. I hope we've helped a little. If you need to talk some more, I'll be back in a little while! Until then, may you be blessed with some unnamed power or simply by luck to head in the right direction!

<3 MC (I'll be back shortly...)

Yeah, I will be okay regardless...confusion is part of my daily habit. But it is time for lunch.

[Virgil]

Well MC, just letting you know cuz you and I were discussing it yesterday and the day before I think...just letting you know how it turned out.

Hm, story, kinda long. Short (very very short) version goes like this: I've had guy best friend for six years. Fiancee doesn't like him, like an idiot I try to keep both best friend and fiancee...doesn't work. Umm, fiancee told me to not talk to best friend (which is a long story in itself) and after a series of events where I ignored best friend in presence of fiancee, best friend now ignoring me permanently....reciprocity.

Grace, just to add my two cents here. Without knowing the long version with all the details, I think you got a situation which is incompatible. I suspect you may have to choose here. I take it as a finacee you're going to get married. It's not easy for one spouse (and this applies to either sexes) to have his/her spouse be best friends with a person of the opposite sex. It might work out in some situations, but I think that's not the majority. The majority of times the suspicions and dynamics of the three relationships will undermine the marriage.

I know Virgil. And thank you. I do realize the situation as how you've mentioned and I think that's what makes it hard to grasp, is that I've always been able to have both, and now, it is a choice. But I will make a choice, and not torture the others involved in my attempts to make one. Things happen for a reason. Thanks again Virgil.

I don't think you're torturing us. I'm glad if I can help. I'm just sorry I had to deliver a somber opinion. :(

[grace86]

I don't think you're torturing us. I'm glad if I can help. I'm just sorry I had to deliver a somber opinion. :(

I definitely don't want to torture any LitNet members, but what I was saying is that I have to make a decision without torturing my fiancee or my best friend - as that would just make things ugly.

Your somber opinion was fine. I am just not too used to being an open book online.

[Pendragon]

Pen: If ever we play a straight game, consider yourself dealt in. Do you prefer 5 Card, Hold 'Em, or something else? And you'll have to try hard to beat me- it's been a while since someone got me in poker too. I just like to play, but everyone seems to forget that I am not my haircolor...

Drame: Ignore Robin. I'll smack him when I get the chance. He really needs to learn what to say to me on a forum...

grace86: Oh, I miss you! I miss you all! But yes, I was happy for the stick. I still have a six foot pole to use, too, if I happen to need it...

mir: ...maybe... :blush:...

And Pen, I'd love it if you'd chaperone. It'd be just as much fun anyways...:angel:My game is Texas Hold 'Em. I was always a bit of a comic, since I can keep a straight face while telling a crazy joke or outrageous lie, and I've played poker since I was about 15. I just quit gambling for money as a minister, playing just for fun. Robin might kick if I'd chaperone-- He's my kid brother, you know, he'd have to say "You ruin everything! Mind your own business!" :lol: :D http://www.invision.smileyville.net/smilies/cha (88).gif

That's my core game, too, although I dabble alot. I teach anyone I can, usually with gummi bears or Skittles because they're too chicken that I'll take their money. My friends hate that they can never tell what I'm up to, and since I lay so few hands down, they can never tell what I might have! (I once struck even in one hand with a friend whom I owed money-- he never saw a straight flush coming!:blush: )
And Robin can kick all he wants- he gets to talk to me enough, and you'd be so much fun to have around!

[dramasnot6]

Oh, i love poker. My grandpa taught me when i was 7 and every saturday night we would play for hours and hours using monopoly money. We also played Honeymoon Bridge and Rummy. Ah...good times...:D

[mir]

i like poker too. i've only ever played once - had a Halloween party, with a couple friends; we ended up all sitting around the table after my parents had gone to bed, playing poker with Reeses cups and candy corn! :D my older brother taught us to play. he won everything - it turned out he had an amazing poker face! didn't tell us that BEFOREHAND, of course. :lol:

I've never played strip poker, though . . . it does sound . . . INTERESTING . . . :blush:

[RobinHood3000]

A friend of mine and I were playing Hold 'Em - he had a 2-5, off-suit. Sonuvagun got a full house on the flop!!

Cheers, Pen, I'd be happy to have you around. In fact, the more the merrier. Somebody's got to stand watch whilst Caroline and I get acquainted...

Only kidding, Pen - I would never relegate you to the lookout position. You're far more fun to be around when we can talk to you.

[Virgil]

Am I the only person who finds Texas holdem boring. I prefer seven card poker. But my friends and I play with wild cards. I also like criss cross poker.

[dramasnot6]

Seven card is my favorite. More strategy involved. 5 card is a bit too short for me and is only good with a good amount of players, where as 7 card is great with just 2.

[Misscaroline]

I do love to play, and I'll play any card game if you'll teach me-- it's something you pick up traveling as much as I seemed to as a kid. Cards pack easily. I agree that any form of poker is fun-- yes, Robin, even strip poker. ~digi-smacks Robin~ And Pen would never be the Sentry. He's too much fun, and I could use some competition. If it was strip, you'd lose on purpose, and where's the fun in that?

[Pendragon]

Well, I think wild cards make it too easy to get a good hand. Like Robin was saying, you take a 2-5 off suit in Texas Hold 'Em, most people would toss that hand. But if you have a good poker face and dare to bet, you can convice someone to fold a King-Ace suited. And then you may flop that full house. And it is never over until the River Card. ;)

[Laindessiel]

I don't know how poker goes about.

:D :D :D :D :D :D

[Misscaroline]

Oh, Lain! I'd love to explain sometime!

In the meantime, yes it's luck and concealing what you have from the others. I tend to play the blonde who everyone thinks won't bluff it all. But I do. I'm as unpredictable in poker as in life, and that makes it all the more fun. :D I'll do anything for a good game and good opponents, though.
Hi Pen!:wave:Hi Lain!:wave:

[TEND]

I agree with Pen, Hold Em' I find to be the most exciting/frustrating. That's usually our game of choice over here, but darn, that river card really gets to you sometimes.

[Virgil]

As to the wild cards, I only play nickels, dimes, and quarters with friends for basically fun. No one is going to win or lose more than ten or twenty dollars. The wild cards are just to create more interest and keep people playing.

they just can live without us:peven if u do not see some faces ,I assure that they silently drop by here.

*cough* Take a look at the gender poll robin, youre outnumbered :p

And it won't work as long as I'm here and they tell me to bar the door! ~sabre in hand again~

[RobinHood3000]

Sabre? Feh - doesn't have the range of a bow...or the effectiveness of a lightsabre. :cool:

Outnumbered means little more to me than a target-rich environment.

[mir]

Here, Misscaroline. *hands illegally obtained user-banning big red button*

. . . you were saying, Robin? :D

[dramasnot6]

:lol: As a female i feel so objectified now. I can just see my forehead adopting the shape of an archery target...but luckily we have a strategic and intellectual advantage :p

[RobinHood3000]

~holds up the ultra-rare, custom-made Q-type batteries he emptied out of the big red button's remote~

YOU were saying?

[Misscaroline]

Drame and mir are right, Robin. ~accepts big red button with many thanks~ Besides, my weapon wielding skills are nothing for my defense, even against a long bow... And don't even bother challenging me to hand to hand combat...

[Misscaroline]

And I always have extra batteries! What do you take me for?:D

[RobinHood3000]

Not if they're the only set in the world. As for the hand-to-hand...

...wanna wrestle? :brow:

[Misscaroline]

I made another. Necessity is the mother of invention...

And I prefer actual combat. Prepared to be my new sparring partner?

[RobinHood3000]

In the words of Green Arrow: "That'd be nice, too." :brow:

So, pretty bird, you ready?

[Nightshade]

gah! You cant call her a bird :mad: out of this thread shoo *Picks up rolling pin and starts waving it about*
sorry but I just got an umbrella that says
"Im a lady not a bird" I hate it when girls are called bird :sick:

[RobinHood3000]

'Twas a reference to Black Canary. :confused: Never heard just plain "bird" used before.

[Misscaroline]

It's true Nightshade. Put the pin down. It's one of Robin's far too copious nicknames for me, and there was nothing derogatory about it.

Deal, Robin. You're on. But beware, I might break you...

[dramasnot6]

50's sexism verses comicbook sweetheart, gotta love words :p

[AimusSage]

bird is also british slang for girl. :) It's actually much better than all the other slang words, like chick etc. which are so overused it isn't funny anymore.

It is often used along these lines:

"Wow, look at those birds."

Also used when bird spotting. :D which is a different sport altogether from what you might think. :goof:

Not that it bothers me. In the summer, I love to sit down, get a drink and do some bird spotting. :nod: Nothing derogatory about that. I don't yell at the birds, that'll only scare them away.

[Misscaroline]

Yes, and I face sexism head on! Deal with it, boys!

And yes, please don't yell at me. I won't get scared away, but the end result won't be pretty...

[Nightshade]

Well bird, chick, duck, chuck Oh how I hate duck one of my sisters friends came to the library once ( hes older than her year he was in mine and Ill tell the truth that is I thought he was rather nice till he said chuck, or, duck or love or one of those annoying phrases I mean I do know nothing is meant by it but it still annoys me.

I get alot of 'Sister's as well becuase I cover my head and I always have to bite back the retort I AM not your sister I dont even know you.


~~~~end rant

[Misscaroline]

~hugs Nightshade~ Tis alright. We still love you, duck or no.

[mir]

and bird or no! :D

tell the truth, no matter how sexist, i still LOVE that nickname/euphemism/any way you use it! :p though i've never actually heard anyone use it before . . . :(

[dramasnot6]

thats ok mir! ive only heard it from watching waaaay too many 50s movies/tv shows..*shudders*

and im sure youve heard it before and just havent realized! like...uh...birds and the bees example? at least i think the birds are the girls in that one...

[Nightshade]

huh no actually the birds and bees are both guys in that one...its about pollination.

[RobinHood3000]

~sings song, "I'm A Girl Watcher"...~

It seems rather insulting in a variety of ways to call a woman "broad."

[AimusSage]

huh no actually the birds and bees are both guys in that one...its about pollination.
Yep the flowers are the girls. :nod: See Night, that is why the hugo boss for women smells like flowers. It's all based on nature. :p

[Virgil]

Yep the flowers are the girls. :nod: See Night, that is why the hugo boss for women smells like flowers. It's all based on nature. :p

:lol: :lol: That is sooooo funny, Aimus. I'm still laughing. :lol: I'll have to tell that to the next girl who comes by wearing a lot of perfume.

[Nightshade]

Still doesnt stop me from thinking boys perfumes- sorry clogune smells nicer than girls stuff, although I did find some nice smelling girls stuff yesterday but it was somthing like &#163;35 for 100ml and that was with 20% off.

[Pendragon]

Sounds an awful lot like a plea for http://www.cosgan.de/images/more/flowers/041.gif http://www.cosgan.de/images/more/flowers/060.gif http://www.cosgan.de/images/more/flowers/045.gif , http://1000smilies.com/muslim.gif! ;)

[dramasnot6]

:eek: Ok, that just added to my list of reasons not to wear perfume.
1) Not neccesary, showers and deoderant enough
2) Too much money for the decent stuff
3) It encourages "pollination" *shudders*

[miss tenderness]

I'm a perfumes addict,Estee Lauder is my favorite. you gotta try Pleasure,I love it.

[Pendragon]

DT, it looks like I will not be able to post that picture of me as Hobo Bo the clown. I've dug the house over looking for one, I know I have at least three, and I can't find any of them! If I didn't want to find them, they'd be right here on the computer desk! http://www.cosgan.de/images/kao/boese/c025.gif

[Whifflingpin]

"bird is also british slang for girl."

I think it's just a (happy) mis-spelling of the old English "burd" which mean a girl.
(Maybe "broad" also has the same derivation, when used to mean girl, or woman)

Oops, sorry gels, not really snooping on your conversations :blush: leaves quietly - stumbles over the mat :blush:

[dramasnot6]

Youre perfectly welcome Whfflingpin! We already have so many guys infiltrating this thread anyway. And thank you for the lovely explanation of "bird", i feel a little less offended now :D :p

[grace86]

Perfume...I always wear perfume. I think it is nice when my sweetie notices it. I wear two different perfumes, Maybe Baby by Benefit and Lucky.

[Misscaroline]

No perfume for me for the most part- just water and pheromones... It seems to be working quite well, though...

Poor Pen, in lack of a pic of his clown
It brings a tear to my eye to see his emoticon frown
So i went to dollcreator, in search of a red nose
And cross my fingers he'll like the clown ensemble i chose
For Pen is unlike a clown, despite his once role
He is very funny, many a chuckle he has stole
But clowns are only good for a laugh for a lil while

Anyway, I always get compliments when I wear Red Door by E Arden. I like Estee Lauder, too. White Linen is nice and Pleasures is lovely, miss tender.

Me too...I have about 35. :blush: :blush: :blush: :blush: Well, I have heard variety is the spice of life...The problem is I like so many different scents, usually people stick to one type of fragrance (green, flowery, musk, spicy ect...) but I like them all. Coco by Chanel and China Rain by Body Time are two of my favorites.

[mir]

What would be a good type of perfume? i've never really worn it before, or makeup, but they sound sort of fun. :)

btw, Kathy, i like your new avatar! :wave:

[SleepyWitch]

hehe, I see the perfume discussion has been taken up in here... *how to confuse and old witch in three simple steps* :) you put me off the scent there in the guys thread :)

mir, about make-up, it all depends on a) whether you need to wear it at all and b) your type (complexion, hair colour, eyecolour)
a) is there anything you don't like about your skin, eyes, lips? or something that you like but would like to emphasise?

[mir]

the perfume discussion is EVERYWHERE. :lol:

as for makeup, i really don't know. :) since i've never put it on before, i don't know whether i need it or not, or how it would look! mostly i'm not nuts about my face shape, but i guess i can't change that.

i would post a picture but i can't find any!! recent ones, anyways. the last one i have is from about 2 years ago! :p

I too am a perfume addict and I do like Estee Lauder Pleasures. I knew two people who wore it and both got pregnant so I superstitiously stayed away from it and got Cool Water for women instead. And as it turns out, it wouldn't have mattered because I will probably never have kids anyway. Isn't it funny how life works out?

[dramasnot6]

I feel so alone in my empty perfume cabinet :( Everyone here seems to love smelling excessively sweet....i guess i should attempt to conform and pick some scent up for Christmas.....lucky i have all these reccomendations now.:)

[Niamh]

Here is another recommendation for you Drame. Hypnotic Poison by Dior. My boyfriend loves it.

[dramasnot6]

I love the name of it! Hypnotic poison....wow....i hope i dont start mindcontrolling and corrupting random people outside the store :p Thanks Niamh!

[Niamh]

its also in a red bottle shaped like an apple. you'll be seducing everyone that walks past!:D

[Niamh]

Hey Madhuri did you eventually det to sleep last night or did the tea keep you awake longer?

[Lily Adams]

Hello, all, I finally decided to join the conversation. :) There is English or Earl Grey tea here, though, right? :D

I hardly ever wear perfume, because I never really wear anything that would be appropriate with perfume. I don't go to fancy places and dress up much, but when I do like just a hint of lavender or rose-scented perfume. I detest the overbearing scent of lots of perfume or cologne on people, though. :sick:

[Niamh]

You dont need to dress up to wear parfume. Avon have this lovely Jasmine oil that smell so nice, and all you have to do is rub it on your skin. very girly and a bit of a classic scent dont you think Lily?

[Lily Adams]

Oh, yes. Jasmine is my third favorite scent.

[Niamh]

Would i be completely wrong to assume you were from England?

[Lily Adams]

:lol: No, I'm not from England. Quite the opposite. I live in Southern California, U.S.A., but right now if I took a picture of the sky here you think it was England. (But I love overcast weather, so it's nice.) I do so want to go to England very badly, though.

BTW-I like Lily of the Valley, too. Yardley products are my favorite when it comes to perfumes and all that.

[Niamh]

Well i like lily of the valley but not that much that i'd want to wear it.
i like overcast weather as well but unfortunately for me it wont stop raining over here. the country is flooding.

[Lily Adams]

Oh, I'm sorry. I hope everything clears up over there.

[Niamh]

well its not really near me. all the flooding is in the west over by mayo. I think we're having forthy days and forthy nights! god damn it!

[dramasnot6]

I would love some cool rain over here! It's 100 farenheit today and very,very dry. Consider yourselves lucky :)

[Lily Adams]

Oh, I do. You have my sympathies!

[Madhuri]

Hey Madhuri did you eventually det to sleep last night or did the tea keep you awake longer?

It didnt, I was asleep within minutes....:D

[kathycf]

as for makeup, i really don't know. :) since i've never put it on before, i don't know whether i need it or not, or how it would look! mostly i'm not nuts about my face shape, but i guess i can't change that.


In the pic you posted your face looks just fine, mir. I suppose most of us find a few things we don't like about our appearance. My jaw is really square looking to me... FYI changing the appearance of your face shape is possible via contouring but it needs an especially light touch to make it look natural and is better at night time anyway. (guess who used to be a makeup artist a long time ago?) ;)

Real essential oils are nice perfumes as well and are natural. Lavendar, Bergamot, Rosemary even Patchouli can all be nice if diluted.

[Shalot]

Well, if you think perfume might lead to pregnacy then why not just wear garlic? :D

[Shalot]

DKNY makes a perfume called Be Delicious and it comes in an apple shaped bottle also. There are two varieties and one is a green apple (Be Delicious) and one is a red apple (Red Delicious) and the scents are a little different. Everytime I go to the dept store I like to sample it (unless I go to one in the bad part of town where they don't put the testers out because shoplifters steal them). The green one smells good though I've never actually purchased a bottle (I would if I could! --- right now I've got Curve and I'm not getting anything else until I use it up. Supposedly you've got about a year to use up your perfume before it starts to go bad.....)

[Madhuri]

Supposedly you've got about a year to use up your perfume before it starts to go bad.....)


Do perfumes go bad?? I have this one from Michael Kors, and its been more than 5yrs that I have had it with me. I dont use it so much, as it is a gift from my brother, I like keeping gifts as long as I can. But, whenever I do, it still smells nice. I dont know why I cant buy such expensive perfumes for myself, I have bought such perfumes as gifts for others though, but, whenever I think of getting one for myself, I end up buying a simple deo....

[Shalot]

Do perfumes go bad?? I have this one from Michael Kors, and its been more than 5yrs that I have had it with me. I dont use it so much, as it is a gift from my brother, I like keeping gifts as long as I can. But, whenever I do, it still smells nice.

Honestly, I don't know. I read that in some magazine a long time ago but it could just be one of those things that they say to sell perfume. The shelf life of a perfume may actually be longer than a year, but I imagine that they do go bad at some point just because nothing lasts forever, you know?

[Niamh]

my mam had a bottle of coco chanel for a bout ten years and it smelt the same when she finished it as when she started. i also like the green one.

Hey! You leave those Martians alone! All they want to do is zap people with ray guns and turn them into red and green skeletons. And don't go pulling that Slim Whitman stuff on them, either. Ack ack! *Makes the International Sign of the Doughnt*

[dramasnot6]

I like garlic...:(

[Lily Adams]

Mystery solved! Martians like garlic. :p

[toni]

Excellent for cooking. Great flavour..:D

[dramasnot6]

And very healthy too! Lookie what i found :D

Of all garlic's reputed medicinal benefits, perhaps the most well known is its use as a natural antibiotic with reports going back through history. There are even stories of garlic being used to ward off the plague. It's not known how effective this was, however there is some evidence that anthrax is sensitive to garlic. Some people have even suggested that it might help in the fight against acne although that might be too much to hope for.
Garlic's antibiotic properties have been more extensively studied than some of its other reputed health benefits. Louis Pasteur examined garlic's use as an antibacterial back in the nineteenth century and showed how it killed bacteria under laboratory conditions. Numerous modern studies confirm that garlic has definite antibiotic properties and is effective against many bacteria, fungi and viruses. According to Wright State University (1), garlic is approximately one per cent as potent an antibiotic as penicillin.

Some people have reported that even blood from a garlic eater can itself kill bacteria!

[RobinHood3000]

What about the breath of a garlic eater?

[dramasnot6]

Well, the breath will do the same as blood except instead of "kill" it will "ward off" and instead of bacteria, it wards off people with bacterial personalitys :p

[SleepyWitch]

yummie, I love garlic :) I haven't eaten anything with garlic in it for ages due to the evil evil policy of our refectory not to cook anything that has any effect whatsoever on people's tastebuds.

The real question should be: Who doesn't? I mean really is there anyone who doesn't like it?

Personally, I like every and any form of coffee. As long as it's coffee, I'm happy. Well, as long as it's coffee as coffee should be with all the caffeine where it should be (which is in the coffee).

[Poetess]

Any soft drink included?

[Schokokeks]

Yep :D.
Hate it or love it, I guess :D.

[Themis]

Red Bull. :brow:

Actually no, caffeine wise, not any soft drink included. Just a few.

[Nightshade]

dang, my new shift is killer.:D
HOw many cups of coffe have you had?
And can I just ask why are you working in the middle of the night? Dont places close in Canada?

I never drink coffee. I don't like its taste. If I happen to do it, I drink it with A LOT of milk, which is not called coffee anymore in Italy. Coffee is dark and bitter and you drink it in a tiny cup because more of it would kill you :D
That allows me to travel a lot and not miss Italian coffee as my countrymen do - and I believe it's a great suffering.:sick:

I tried Coca-Cola black once and liked it . . .

I did rather enjoy the coffee flavoured pepsi though didnt taste or smell anything like coffee it just had waaaaaaaaaaaaaaayy too much caffinne in it, Im not sure I liked it but couldnt seem to stop drinking it.

[Poetess]

Have you tried both Redbull? The normal one and the one sugarfree?

[Themis]

Yes, I have.

Iced coffee is the best coffee variety. Starbucks coffee is so heavenly sinful but they're one of the best around. But I like white wine more. Not saying that I drink it more often but I like its taste. Sugared ones, I prefer; the ones with a hint of fizz in it.

[Lily Adams]

Unlike most people, I prefer the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf to Starbucks, I love their iced coffee, and their teas are superb!

Oh, i didnt mean it that way at all. It's only this part of Australia, every part of the world has a land of the ignorant. I live in a fairly isolated place is all. i've been to Sydney and Canberra and find it much more thriving. Before i moved i went to Starbucks very frequently, but now that im off caffeine ill just have to enjoy some herbal tea next time i come across one.

Drama, if you happen to have a world atlas that gives a state by state breakdown of the USA, look at Virginia. You may find a small town called "Marion" near the borders of Tennessee and North Carolina, and not that far from West Virginia, tucked into the mountains. That's where I grew up. I live north of Marion now in a small town called "Atkins" which may not even be a dot on the map. To leave my home any way except by the I-81 corridor is to cross a mountain within five miles. We are what people call redneck, hick, backwoods, etc. The fact that my IQ reaches into the 130's doesn't matter to them. I'm hick. Trailer park trash. Etc. Associates Degree in computers, big deal, redneck! Minister since 1982? So what? Hick! I've preached in big cities like Baltimore and Charlotte, NC. Standing room only crowds. Now since I became disabled, I'm a real hermit hick! :lol:
