Uh, uh. Jealousy is not flattering. There is a difference between protective and jealousy. Read Toms answer. And thank you for posting

Always on point ^^^^.
Jealousy involves toxic anger.
Protection is fierce, but not toxic.

End of topic

I am not a believer. You have plenty of miles on you yet Tom x

What do you think makes the difference? Which is healthy, which is instinct?
Is jealously protective or toxic protection?

A Shipfitter's thoughts


She is my ship's watchful eyes,
the guiding goddess figurehead,
forever at the forefront
of my mind.
Softly, yet solidly, her feminine spirit
drives this vessel
from first morning's thought,
till last pleasure's sigh at night.
I love her silently
when my sea fellows green eye my lunch's
sweet notes and smell her perfume,
drifting to meet with the spice
of her tantalizing feasts.
Those rodents flying the sky,
fight to the death
for just one choice scrap thrown.
I love her most after the whistle finally blows
the mechanics out of me,
far away into the unassuming wind.
I know she will be waiting
inside the rich, colourful tapestry
she has woven our home to be.
Her smile, her touch and affection
cocoons us into one flesh.
Separated only by tomorrow.

Is that a fast ride or slow?

How is that?

This is a triggering poem. Poetry is an expression when those in need have no words, but need to find they are not alone. I hope you find this in the years to follow my loves xxx

December. I will see his face after forty eight years.
He will wear a glowing, saviour halo
and say things like, "I loved those girls like a father."
Masked in distressed, victim persona,
acting as if he was born for an Oscar,
his throat will not vomit the dark snakes
nesting in him, but his forked tongue
will serve him well.

In the Courtroom I will hold my sister's hands,
praying she will not black out, as she does
when triggered by monsters in the flesh,
or memories of their gigantic fingers
and lips hurting her eight year old trust.

I asked her what she sees when she blacks out?
She tells me purple roses sometimes appear.
I tell her it is because she is a Queen -
Royal roses for her courage and suffering.

He knows we three tell the truth
about his destructive, predatory bedroom deeds.
Will he stare straight ahead in Court,
or will he find the shamelessness to look our way
and see the purple rose garlands crowning our heads?

Well said. My attitude too.

If you were a car, what would you be and why?

Your photos are showing : )
Never give up.

Pick a title....

Know the holiness of my love.



Your golden finger
etched law, then dripped loves nailed blood.
Faithful is my friend.

Ask the teenage girls you are 'trying to help' in your other thread...

The Devil All The Time.

Loved it. It was nuts.

Hindsight is always preferable Biologically, there are more risks associated with having children above 40, so that is not preferable to many.
People have sex/make love all the time and children are concieved, whether in marriage or not. And parents get on with it, ill prepared or not.
Personally, I felt mature and ready when we planned our child at 30 and 31. Sure I made mistakes, but my adult child is very free and modern. I guess parenting styles are different. I never bowed to societal expectations, I really do not understand the pressure to do so?
I used to love it when people would say, "Omg, what is that mark on your childs face?"
"My lipstick", I would reply.
An abundance of love and kisses never hurts.
Different strokes for different folks.
Glad you have a happy cat
And life is about learning, lets keep doing it

Not wanting a long distance relationship, even in my own country, I am just going to avoid all dating sites (besides Mingle forums) and try the "bend and snap" more often...

Belated Happy Birthday lovely Crystal.

Are you still scared of contracting it? So many variants and life has moved on. Me, I have not had it, but friends and family have had it.
It is interesting to hear how some have have had minimum reactions and some have not.
What has been your experiemce?

After dinner hand her binocculars and ask if she will accompany you on checking on your ex's house. Then she will know how caring you are about people.

Yes. It was Janice. It was not her real voice on the show. She is quite iconic now.
