(Hypothetically)

After the party phase is over, what would you do with your days?

As a child I had a friend named Bailey.

I remember asking my Mom when I was about 5, why she hadn’t given me a pretty name like Bailey. Haha!

What first name would you have given yourself?

I have way to many guitars.


I didn’t think that was possible.

My X married me knowing that a beachhead Seabee life expectancy was 3.5 seconds. From my point of view it was a non-issue but from hers, everytime I deployed, she was panicked.
Perhaps she had a need for a threat.
I do know that after I separated from the service, our relationship changed.
Not for worse but I noticed a change in her.
Almost like a general calming.

I think there is a personality type that is attracted to the threat.
Please don't take this as an insult to anyone.
Its the same as people that take life chances like skydiving, roller coasters and other high risk activities.
Only difference is its not them taking the risk, but their loved ones.

It can have serious repercussions if the risk is removed.
With the threat no longer active, they may seek someone else that is in danger.
But, like I said, not everyone is like that.


A perspective I would never have thought about. I’ve only considered if someone could handle it. I guess some types like that actually crave it.

Enlightening aspect Tom. Thanks for weighing in. :thumbsup:

Nope, was a firefighter myself for eleven years, and been a paramedic since 2006. Far more people are killed every year in car accidents, then people employed in the emergency services.

Heaven knows we are all on the line on a city highway. Lol! But there are more citizens involved in those larger number of auto accidents than there are firemen and paramedics per their incidents.

I consider both of your jobs to be high risk. And I thank you for being out there for us, Missy. flowerforyou

I was talking to a friend whose husband is a police officer. He got into a close call situation recently and she was venting to me about the stress and anxiety that comes with being married to a policeman. She feels helpless to protect him, which of course is just how that works. But it’s got to be a horrifying feeling at times.

It got me wondering if anyone out there avoids going out with people who have dangerous jobs because they don’t think they could stomach being the spouse of a policeman, fireman, etc, if the relationship grew into something serious?

Would this be a concern for you guys?

Abusive people are monsters.


Thank you.
You took the words right out of my keyboard.



You’ll just have to be more choice with your word selection now.

Dumping not as much as breaking things off. I probably felt worse than he did. I was mortified to have to hurt him, but was not willing to lead him on to even stronger feeling that I just didn’t share. sad2

Humm does not matter to me, at times it encourages more to step up and do something good as well...

What one calls tooting their own horn actually brings awareness to those that actually need helping hand~~~




Good point. The same as anything else, the way it’s perceived depends on how it’s presented.

Even boastful arrogance will still bring a need to the attention of many. Though many will not be endeared by the boasters attitude.

I thought it was like a box of chocolate. slaphead

No wonder it’s so confusing!


No, that's Life, dear.
Life is like a box of chocolates... eat them all and don't share laugh


That’s right...life is like a box of chocolates.

Love endorphins just feel like chocolate. :grin:

I wouldn’t do that myself. I also don’t find it an attractive quality in others.

On the other hand, I’d rather a good deed be done for selfish reasons than not be done at all. Those in need of the deed still benefit, and that’s what truly counts.

I know he’s down there somewhere. Let me take another look.



The toilet got cropped out. I guess the image was too big. Haha!

I can hardly resist such daring...130 at 5’5”, though I may have begun shrinking by now. Where is my yard stick? :thinking:

I’m a Leo, but have never felt my sign description was wholly accurate for me. I was born on the cusp, so maybe I’m a little bit Virgo too. I seem to identify as much with Virgo as Leo.


Nice Jan! My younger brother is a Virgo!! We are such close buds! Cusps are very cool, but I think until they understand they are cusp, they might be a little uncomfortable in their skin, no???


I never gave my sign any notice until my daughter starting sending me my daily horoscope a few years ago. They never seemed right, so I looked it up and noticed I had some Leo traits but just as many Virgo. Haha! I don’t mind being a staddler. I think I have most of the better traits of two worlds really. :grin:
