The official weekend (substitute) thread (9-11th Feb 2007)

Next week is Valentine's Day which for some of us if we are single can be depressing on the other hand we do not have the dilemma will We buy the right bottle of perfume, wine or box of chocolates. Will we pick the right restaurant, movie or play.

Instead of concentrating on the lack of a partner at the time of year lets look at the positives of our lives as singles. Places we can go, things we can do without having to negotiate with a partner.

Some may have children or elderly parents which means you are restricted but even so these are family members that most times offer unconditional love and support even if at times it does not seem like it. A partner gives love but often conditional love, a relationship that has to be worked at rather than being born into. There are great rewards in both and pressures in both.

As singles we can also appreciate and enjoy seeing happy couples this Valentines and sympathising with those who are just acting it out and being thankful once again that being single is preferable in many cases to pretending.

Be positive lets think of happy past Valentine Days maybe as a child for a lot of women when your father made you feel special. I know several families where the father always sends valentine cards to his daughters even though they are grown just to make sure they are not forgotten.

Come on all lets have fun and not dwell on what we do not have but celebrate that what we do have.

[ilovew]

Sure. Jump in, join the fun. Some of us are kinda strange but we're pretty harmless. :)

I kinda want to cut my ankle off but I'm pretty sure that wouldn't help it any. Other than that, I'm fine.

[ilovew]

I was counting on some strangeness....so y'all don't let me down.

[pcottraux]

The bacon is in fact shakin.

[ilovew]

Well, if you were counting on strangeness then you definitely won't be disappointed. It's kinda slow right now but hopefully more people will show up in a while.

How did the follow up appointment go have you managed to get a second opinion?

[ilovew]

My orthopedist's incredibly helpful advice was "give it time." But my mom went with me because she's better at asking questions whereas I tend to just sit there and nod. We're gonna wait on the second opinion. He said we can try an MRI next time if it's still not any better.

[rzeznikj at stout]

still here?

[ilovew]

Yep.

Message from Dollycali

 

I would like to apologize to The Spirit of Allegiance for the fact his thread/work disappeared through NO fault of his own.

I requested that in this thread he replace the HTML so that we can all see/read it(I did not). Now, all of us have different interests & passions. That is what makes us unique. I have encouraged each poster to write on his/her passions & this is what Spirit has done.

You may agree or you may not agree.. but I know we will all be courteous in our discussion on the material. We must always be sure when discussing we look at the material & not tear apart our fellow FReepers. That is FRee Republic policy & we want to follow it.

Have fun tonight~
