I rely on my luck (or fate, whichever way you choose to see). There are certain things that i enjoy doing allow me to meet people but that doesn't guarantee new friendship. I mean genuine ones, friends that I can truly rely on.<br /><br />Having said that, I think depending on where you live (there's a difference between living in a metropolitan city as opposed to a rural town), maybe you can see if there's any volunteer work that you would enjoy doing. Another way is taking interests classes, such as foreign language, dancing, horticulture, art, astronomy ... etc. If there's a community centre close by, you can see if they offer any courses that you might be interested in. <br /><br />Good luck :-)Tinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18164441013719086233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787882996094937723.post-43574896047678874892012-06-25T00:34:07.159-07:002012-06-25T00:34:07.159-07:00And I you, bella.

And I agree that womens' health rights are backsliding for some crazy reason, and I could rant about that in an entirely different post.<br /><br />But anyway, health insurance...<br /><br />I could say that this doesn't directly affect me, but it does. I have a mother, I have sisters, I have scores of female friends. From that standpoint alone I'm outraged. But extrapolating that to the whole population of the USA, which is by majority women, it becomes a travesty. Why are we not just instinctively protecting the health of the bulk of our population?MrFancyPantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404497538762371392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787882996094937723.post-44561475356931876472012-03-30T10:25:13.656-07:002012-03-30T10:25:13.656-07:00I don't think the Supreme Court will uphold th...I don't think the Supreme Court will uphold the ACA, sadly. I am a woman with a pre-existing condition, so double whammy there. (If I got my tubes tied would it lower my premium since I wouldn't be having kids? Real questions being asked 'round these parts.) I do feel like women in the US are backsliding through no fault of their own (and often with help from other women in positions of power!!), and it's kind of frightening to see. I am sad for us at the moment.

My daughter brought this song to my attention back then as her dad loved it - and as she put it - he was doing what the song suggested not to do... he was settlin'... As was I when we were together out of the belief that no matter how I felt, I child needs a father. <br />I am not that person anymore; I am done settlin'. I can wish others all the best, accept (a work in progress am I) them for who they choose to be... and move on accepting who I choose to be as well.

As for hearing about ex-flames' troubles, it's a strange place. I'm glad you could have compassion for her. You're right - we need to love and appreciate people for who they are, not want to change them. A tiger doesn't change it's stripes.<br /><br />When I was single I vowed to myself that I wouldn't date anyone who didn't fit what I was looking for (at least not seriously, anyway). Period. I wasn't ever going to settle or put myself last ever again. And I didn't. Low and behold? I met the man of my dreams that way.<br /><br />Put that energy out into the universe and you'll be pleasantly surprised.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01031713230200784274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787882996094937723.post-17556917072421342752012-03-21T00:07:32.824-07:002012-03-21T00:07:32.824-07:00Thank you, Katie.
