some situations call for being uncompromising...some call for a middle ground... humor can make either one easier to digest..

To JMO:

You're absolutely right, pal.

i believe "JMO" means "just my opinion"...heehee...

To Pansytilly:

You're absolutely right on all accounts!

To Pansytilly:

JMO means "just my opinion"? Well, how about that. I learn something everyday!

I also think the shared sense of humour is underrated here.
I could not be in a relationship with someone if we didn't have a shared sense of humour.

If you don't get each other's humour, you don't get a major part of your partner, of his/her personality. Kinda crucial in a relationship.

Humour is not about making each other roll on the floor all the time. It's about understanding each other.

Someone once told me: You don't really get a language until you understand its sense of humour, can make jokes in the language.
And I've found that to be very true.

The same can be applied to a partner/relationship.

To CrystalFairy:

You should read my original thread. I think you got me confused with being biased as one or two others may have in drumming it up. Also, I was addressing the subject at hand (in proper context) with an individual who first responded to my thread. The world made scrambled eggs out of it...a broken record. Ugly history repeats itself in deciding good as bad and bad as good!

Humour,just like beauty,is in the 'eye',or 'ear' of the beholder.I feel that yet again it comes down to some form of chemistry.I love sarcasm,but it's beyond some people,and offensive to others.The same as clumsiness,endearing and funny to some,and ridiculously stupid to others. Hey- ho,the search continues

A man was walking across the road when he met with an accident. The impact was on his head which caused him to be in a coma for 2 days.


When he opened his eyes, his wife was by his side. He told her (in tears), "When I was struggling with my studies in the University, I failed again and again. Sometimes I even have to re-take my papers. You were there by my side, encouraging me to go on trying."


She squeezed his hands as he continued, "When I went for major interviews and failed to clinch any of the jobs, you were there, cutting out the job ads for me to apply..."


He added, " ...then I started working in this little firm and finally got a big contract. I blew it because of a small mistake. But you are still there for me." His wife was in tears.


The man said, "I finally got a job after being laid off for quite some time. But I never seem to be promoted and my hard work was not recognized. I remained in the same position from the day I joined the company till now. You are still beside me..."


His wife's tears trickled down as she listened to him, "And now I met with an accident and when I woke up, you are here with me. There's something I really like to say to you..."

She flung herself on the bed and hug her husband, sobbing with deep emotion.


Finally her husband said,......"I think you bring me bad luck!"

Maybe that should be my name..Lol

why not, coconut..?..

it's the internet darling and Christians too can have a sense of humor

now learn some of the lingo and hang on might be a bumpy ride

At least if you run out of things to talk about, you could always start bringing the humor out. .


I get along better with people who are light-hearted and dry. I can't stand people who complain about every little thing.

Me, myself and I, eh? Ever hear of the song lyrics: "Getting to know you, getting to know all about you...!" Since this site is about dating and relationships (correct me if I'm wrong), then understanding and empathy are ALSO required.

For those who give a hoot about people in general, you will run into all types. For those mentally healthy enough to recognize it in others, depression is more prevalent than ever. In fact, it's the world's number one killer. It's reported of the 20 million chronic depressives in America, an alarming 10% of these are children.

Yes, anyone can laugh (it's healthy). But many who are easily MISUNDERSTOOD are being mocked and laughed at! A best friend of mine died of depression and no one suspected, including myself. Maybe that's why I feel a little guilty these days.

Too many shrews on this site. A good man best not linger here for too long.

ease up there big man you know not to whom you preach
my advice to you good sir
is to develop a thicker skin if you choose to take part in a public forum
