Do you believe in LDRs?

Every relationship takes effort. LDRs can last and turn into a permanent relationship, it just takes more effort to reach that point.

I'm not sure I can even ask the right question. I understand lust. I understand commitment. I understand trust. I understand the desire to care for and protect another. I understand how your heart may flutter when you're with someone. But, is that love? Is that all it is? Do people stay together for 60 years (like my mom and dad did) because of love? Or is it an act of the will? Help me out, please. Do I believe in an emotion called love that just drives two people together and magically holds them there? No. Love is the act of constantly rekindling your feelings of affection towards your partner and not letting those feelings die out. Love is a choice, it takes dedication and hard work to make it work. Imagine two wells, one full and one empty. The full well represents your capacity to love and the empty well represents your love for a particular person. The act of love is to take water from the full well and move it to the empty well with a bucket. Every day, you have to take that bucket of water from the full well to the empty well. Some days, it will be easy and the bucket will be huge. Some days it will be hard and the bucket will be the size of a teaspoon. Each of those buckets don't amount to much by themselves, but in time what started as infatuation will become so much richer and deeper than you ever expected it could be. All that it takes is hard work. Love is the conscience effort to remain infatuated with the same person. It used to be that everyone did that, they picked a mate and made the relationship work. Today, divorce is too easy and people break up too freely. People expect love to come naturally and freely and that is just not the reality. |

How much space do we really need? The word "need" sets my teeth on edge, especially when it's used with an indefinite pronoun. I suppose to live, we only need a coffin sized space. A more relevant question would be "How much space do you want?" or better yet "How much space can you afford?" I don't know about you, but I'd NEED more than a coffin sized space to feel comfortable. Moreover, I NEED enough space for my clothes, grooming items etc. More than I need would indeed be a want. But, maybe you're a man like Hamlet who said "I could be bounded in a nutshell, and count myself a king of infinite space..." You are talking wants now, not needs. Need in this case would be the absolute necessity for sustaining life. You could live in a coffin. You wouldn't have enough room for your things, you wouldn't be comfortable, but you could live. You are talking about quality of life, which is where wants come in. You want more space. You want closets for your clothes. That's why I am uncomfortable with that word. |

I don't think I've seen those commercials, I watch all my TV / Movies via digital streaming, so I don't have to watch commercials. Even chances that some Government money (ie your taxes) went to help pay for that commercial.

No, I've never experienced that, but I'm sorry for your loss or rather your new awareness of your loss.

Here is the vid. I saw he was telling a lez/bj joke. His facial expression was one of looking at how the crowd took it so, he would know what his next move was. With Michell, that does mean push-ups as well.<<< His quote. See for yourself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=0ekZ7wW_Tbc He was angry at how the crowd took that statement, which was the lead-in to the joke of "I want to set the record straight, Michelle outdoes me in pushups as well." With Michell, that does mean push-ups as well.<<< His quote. Nope, you didn't transcribe that correctly. See what I wrote above. |

I'd maybe leave out the "b!tches" part, maybe use a better word. I had the same thought. There's that and you could change your orientation to looking for a man, I would like your profile more then. |
