IMHO friendships have the best chances to become real relationships. You get to know the person within, not just the outer appearance of that person!

True integrity of character is what catches my attention! Not the smooth words or the flirtatious actions ! Those are a dime a dozen to me!!! Character is displayed by actions, not smooth words and flirtations which mean nothing! No matter how many women they are addressed to and no matter how smooth they sound!! The words may sweep you off your feet temporarily, but, what actions are there to back up the words?

It is never easy or simple to get over someone you cared deeply about! I have chosen to wish them the best despite the fact that it may hurt me to do so! Let them go, do your mourning after them but move on as you must. They moved on so you must also, and the sooner the better! I'm still friends with my ex's as I feel it is the only way to avoid bitterness I wish them well as they do me! The alternative seems to me to be an exercise in futility! Move forward and live your future life with optimism!

I'll just bet it did! Thanks for your post Ese! I'm still waiting for a motorcycle ride! Hope I don't die before that bucket list wish comes true!

If there isn't romantic brain cell interaction, the rest won't fall into place!

It's Alzheimer's ! Lol. I forgot how old I am somewhat conveniently!

I don't use a keyboard or my fingers for brain cell stimulation No1. Don't need it for touching the heart and soul either

I hope this birthday is your best ever Torgo, or should I have said horror-filled given your penchant for horror movies! Thank you for always being your sweet self! Happy Birthday now and in the years ahead!

Lol...I'm all for stimulating brain cells...but I key in on those that touch the heart and spirit!

Prayers being said and best wishes for a full recovery!

Good to see you Crystal! Thanks for your input!

Thanks for your input Kaustuv! I love your posts very much! Always inspirational!

When I went car shopping, the two favorites were the Toyota Matrix and the Honda CRV. I loved the style of the CRV that year; however, with a price tag of $9,000 more than the Matrix, I thought the Toyota would be the best choice for me. At resale time, if that day ever comes, I know I'll come out ahead anyway than if I had bought any other car in my price range!
