Wow..!!

Personally I don't see the difference?

Brilliant!!

I was actually talking about beauty above the waistline...

Ditto to all the above...

Lots of great advice above, but my observation is, that it just seems like you're running from something, or to something, without knowing what it is. I don't think you will find it in Paris or Barcelona or New York, and most likely not in California. I would say to slow it down a little, take a deep breath, go home to Belgium until you can figure it all out and consider the advice from @gallahadesquire. I also like the advice @Lookin gave you. What's done is done, the fact is you are here now, and most likely you are the only one that can fix you. I get up every morning and give that guy staring back at me in the mirror and little wink. It's a nice way to start my day. Kudos to you for coming here and talking to strangers...Wish you all the best.

This is such a cool photograph....

Confession: I've never watched Big Brother for more than 5 minutes since it's been on. It bores me to tears...BUT, for reasons that I can't explain, I was flipping through the channels last night and I saw Brett, and I said to myself, "Hmmm, that is one tall drink of water" so I stayed for a few minutes, and before I could retrieve the Haagen Daz out of the fridge, I was completely sucked in to all the drama. I am now team Brett, and can't wait to see how all of this ends. It was fun stuff to watch.

That's not necessarily a good thing...

It's not really what the OP asked, but here goes. I have a nice collection of rather expensive watches, but I wore my trusted Casio daily for years. In getting ready to travel a few years back, I took two of them to my jeweler for new batteries and to be cleaned for the trip. I casually told him that I never really wore them and kept them in the safe most of the time. He looked at me with a little surprise and said, " Well you're not getting any younger, so who are you saving them for, your relatives so that they can enjoy them after you're gone?" I didn't have an answer. I wear them every day now. Cleaning and upkeep is surprisingly minimal, and I thoroughly enjoy them.

Hilarious...

Stunning....

Have You Ever Been To A Taping Of A Television Show? Discussion in 'The Lounge' started by Avalon, Jul 23, 2018. Countless ones. I lived/worked in Burbank for years and made Sherman Oaks my home for the better part of several decades. Going to Television shows at ABC, Paramount, Disney or Fox was fairly routine...

I now you're hating on the south (lol) but I suppose you wouldn't consider Asheville N.C.? don't live there myself, but friends do, and as a gay/gay friendly community it is simply spectacular...Anyway my two cents.

lol..have ya been to The Abbey?

This has happened to me twice. Once with Air Canada. LA to Montreal. I arrived at the gate and the attendant offered me an upgrade to first at no extra charge, which I thanked her for and graciously accepted, but it actually was her screw-up, she had double booked the seat. As we pushed back, a passenger boarded at the last minute and approached me asking me if I was in the wrong seat. He showed me his ticket, and indeed both tickets reflected the same seat. The flight attendant was called and they looked in the computer and realized the error. They ultimately gave the seat to the other passenger, since he had actually bought his ticket weeks in advance, and put me in the main cabin. I was a little irritated and expressed my displeasure with the flight attendant. He immediately offered me a cocktail. I ordered scotch rocks with a water back. Expressing further displeasure with the brand of scotch served in coach, he returned with a bottle of Chivas on a silver tray with two glasses and two glasses with ice. It turned out to be a very pleasant flight... And once on Virgin, but the screw-up was in my favor.

LMAO...Ok that woke me up today.

826 lbs Amex cards are much lighter and easier to carry around. Plus...should the need arise for 'additional' services, the card can be extended to cover such...

Sarcasm noted... The "airport" code for Fort Lauderdale is FLL=Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood. Locals refer to Fort Lauderdale proper as FTL. No one in Fort Lauderdale considers themselves part of Hollywood. (for obvious reasons)

"Aaaw, I'm sorry to hear Wolfer. Looks like you were really looking forward to meeting him! There's plenty of other great, amazing guys out there!" In all seriousness, you're going to be fine. This goes with the territory, as they say, so put all of this behind you and jump back in the saddle...

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/26/nyregion/at-yale-class-on-happiness-draws-huge-crowd-laurie-santos.html Yale’s Most Popular Class Ever: Happiness NEW HAVEN — On Jan. 12, a few days after registration opened at Yale for Psyc 157, Psychology and the Good Life, roughly 300 people had signed up. Within three days, the figure had more than doubled. After three more days, about 1,200 students, or nearly one-fourth of Yale undergraduates, were enrolled. The course, taught by Laurie Santos, 42, a psychology professor and the head of one of Yale’s residential colleges, tries to teach students how to lead a happier, more satisfying life in twice-weekly lectures. “Students want to change, to be happier themselves, and to change the culture here on campus,” Dr. Santos said in an interview. “With one in four students at Yale taking it, if we see good habits, things like students showing more gratitude, procrastinating less, increasing social connections, we’re actually seeding change in the school’s culture.” Dr. Santos speculated that Yale students are interested in the class because, in high school, they had to deprioritize their happiness to gain admission to the school, adopting harmful life habits that have led to what she called “the mental health crises we’re seeing at places like Yale.” A 2013 report by the Yale College Council found that more than half of undergraduates sought mental health care from the university during their time there. “In reality, a lot of us are anxious, stressed, unhappy, numb,” said Alannah Maynez, 19, a freshman taking the course. “The fact that a class like this has such large interest speaks to how tired students are of numbing their emotions — both positive and negative — so they can focus on their work, the next step, the next accomplishment.” Students have long requested that Yale offer a course on positive psychology, according to Woo-Kyoung Ahn, director of undergraduate studies in psychology, who said she was “blown away” by Dr. Santos’s proposal for the class. Administrators like Dr. Ahn expected significant enrollment for the class, but none anticipated it to be quite so large. Psychology and the Good Life, with 1,182 undergraduates currently enrolled, stands as the most popular course in Yale’s 316-year history. The previous record-holder — Psychology and the Law — was offered in 1992 and had about 1,050 students, according to Marvin Chun, the Yale College dean. Most large lectures at Yale don’t exceed 600. Offering such a large class has come with challenges, from assembling lecture halls to hiring the 24 teaching fellows required. Because the psychology department lacked the resources to staff it fully, the fellows had to be drawn from places like Yale’s School of Public Health and law school. And with so many undergraduates enrolled in a single lecture, Yale’s hundreds of other classes — particularly those that conflict with Dr. Santos’s — may have seen decreased enrollment. At the start of the semester the class was divided between a live lecture in the 844-seat Battell Chapel, a historic place of worship on campus, converted to a lecture hall, and one or two smaller auditoriums where several hundred more students watched a live stream of Dr. Santos. After several weeks, the decision was made to move the lectures to Woolsey Hall, usually the site of events like symphony performances, which can accommodate the entire class. The course focuses both on positive psychology — the characteristics that allow humans to flourish, according to Dr. Santos — and behavioral change, or how to live by those lessons in real life. Students must take quizzes, complete a midterm exam and, as their final assessment, conduct what Dr. Santos calls a “Hack Yo’Self Project,” a personal self-improvement project.

Money can't buy happiness, but what it does do, is give you options.

He'd be a best seller in FTL...besides, you'd be surprised how many southerner's read.
