Pirate single's bar

[Bloody_Mary_Bonney]

Mary scampers in and sneaks a box filled with all kinds of diffrent chocolates from around the world next to Merry with a note attached to it that reads "Find yourself something sweet even if you have to travel the world to find it." Next she slunks over to rogue and slips her a new flask filled with spiced rum on the cover engraved is "If they make you cry they aint real pirates!" Then she continues on to captian scurvy dog and to him she slips a few chocolate kisses into his pocketses when he ait lookin. Lets see did i miss any one? oh wait how could i forget carefully she pins a stocking stuffed with chocolate and aroma therapy candels for calm on the wall labeld laura silver touch and die signed Bonney-claus

[Rogue Mermaid]

Aw, thanks Mary just what I wanted! Yay! Now I have two tankards to so I can hold twice as much alcohol! It's a Christmas miracle!

[capt.deke slinger]

wow. pretty heavy stuff in here.

BOYS ARE DUMB :)

my daughters have said that a few times over the years,21&20 they are. and you know what? seeing the games that are played and the effect it had on them, if i ever run into my first "love" girlfriend, I will apoligize for treating her the way i did. Heres a girl that adores you and you take advantage of that and make her cry on purpose....what the F#@K is that all about...boys are dumb!

But anyway, ladies, if you get involved with a married man, he is going to stay married to his wife no matter what he tells you, and you are, and this is harsh, nothing more than a "BOOTY CALL". Oh yeah, sometimes thats a good thing, but I'm just saying watch your heart!!

to put it pyratically, iffen ya's both had ta' walk de plank, he'd let you go first, then try to talk his way out of it after ye leaped!

Hey Rogue, excuse me, Miss Mermaid, and all ye other strong drink lovers that do some homebrewin' .do a search, (i use dogpile.com) and look up Krupnikas. Its a lithuanian honey liqueur that is REALLY good.

main ingredient is grain alcohol, but mellowed out with honey ,ginger and other spices.

I'll have to check that out.

I've been attempting to make my own apple wine. It's supposed to be ready to drink but I think I'll let it sit a little longer. I tryed some a few days ago and the taste left something to be desired.

(Immediately after drinking it I desired to spit it into the sink )

...it doesn't quite work out that way for everyone, Capt. Slinger...

[Merrydeath]

sigh..I needed something fun to see and laff at.. I don't like Christmas like I used to.

here ya go....

why Santa isn't a pirate

[Rogue Mermaid]

I've got a kinda funny one for you guys.

My two little cousins got Tamagotchis for Christmas (keychain virtual pets that you have to "feed", "play with", and otherwise "take care of".). So after dinner the family is sitting around and the younger of the two (9) asks his sister to take care of his. She says, "Sure, your's and mine are doing the same thing anyway". He goes, "Yeah, playing with their balls".

Now he meant the toy sort, but I almost had to leave the table. I managed to be a lady (who me?) and bite back the laughter.

[Bloody_Mary_Bonney]

thats nothing try this one my grandpa made prime rib and as it was cooking he comes out and asks my dad if he wants to see this big hunk of meat.

yeah. i read somewhere else you posted you were making wine, there is an art to that. :)

this stuff though, even if it goes bad, it's still pretty good

no doubt, there are excepttions to just about everything :)

I'm sure there are honest cheaters out there

[PyratePhil]

No doubt...

...if you're going to cheat, at least be honest about it...with yourself, if not with anyone else...

...but I'm probably scaring off all the single-types here, so I'll just leave by that conveniently-situated back door...

[Silver Steele]

Perhaps my thinking is flawed in this day and age, but if a married individual, man OR woman, feels the need to have an affair, then that individual has no business being married. So many people seem to forget their vows... "Till death do us part".......... or divorce court.

I was raised and I still believe, although at the age of 37 and never married, that marriage involves honor. And if there is no honor, then there should be no marriage. How can you even respect an individual who is married, and wants to have an affair? The days of honor seem to be ancient history. (Yes there are those who do still honor their vows, I'm not slamming everyone.)

If you don't like your partner, separate and divorce. If you think of having a relationship with a married individual, how can you be sure they mean what they say, while going home to their significant other everynight? Actions always speak louder than words.

[Hawkyns]

I normally don't respond on this thread, since single I am not. However, this topic is one where I have experience and perhaps something to contribute to the discussion. Cheating is wrong, it hurts people. There is, however, the option of polyamoury. This is the concept that one person may love many people and that love is not a limited commodity, to be doled out to one person only. It is also the concept that to require one person to meet all your psychological needs for the rest of your lives is a pipedream and unfair to you both. In honesty, fairness and trust, relationships can be multidirectional and fulfilling to all. Honesty is the big thing here. It is a type of relationship that must be entered into freely by all parties and not forced on anyone. Discussion and communication is absolutely neccesary before entering into any such relationship. It does work and works well, under the correct circumstances. Gwen and I have been married for nearly 30 years and we're still having fun and still in love. That is something that cannot be said for most of our friends who have tried and failed at the conventional, traditional marriage.

Hawkyns

[Silver Steele]

Hawkins, you are correct. It does come down to deceit. A consentual open marriage, agreed upon by both parties, and known by all parties is another matter, although I personally would not choose to involve myself in a polygamy situation, and do not personally agree to the sitation. But hey, if it works for two people, that's their business, just please don't ask me to agree to it, as those are not my beliefs and we will get along just fine. :) Please don't get me wrong, to each their own. I however, am selfish, and I would want to be keepin' me man all fer meself!

I was speaking however, on one married person portraying themself as being "single" or looking for an affair while the other person knowning that the said person is married in the previous post.

[PyratePhil]

Interesting post, Hawkyns!

Marriage is one of those subjects, like politics and religion, that are "hot-buttons" for most people. You either believe one way or the other. Fair 'nuff.

But if you are able to step back and rationally view the event we call "marriage", you might understand some others' views.

Firstly, it is a non-natural event. By this I mean, no other creature in nature seems to get married. Oh sure, there are critters that take life mates, but as far as we can tell, there is no religious or civil ceremony involved. And that's essentially what marriage is, "divorced" of all emotional, religious, and romantic content - a ceremony.

The traditional concept of marriage is assumed to be based upon love. No problem there. It's when the highly doubtful concept of "eternal love" comes in that so many have problems. People change - that's the only constant involved here. A piece of paper that says you are bonded until death hardly qualifies as a blockage to indulging in one's changing ideas and emotions.

Don't get me wrong - I'm all for the idea of marriage, if it appeals to YOU (not you specifically, Hawkyns, but the generic YOU ). Enjoy yourself. But realize that being the imperfect animals that we are, we are born with wanderlust. Forcing yourself to stay wedded to someone when you both are changing is difficult if not impossible, irregardless of any vows taken.

So what's the solution? One is to stay married to your partner no matter what. Another would be Hawkyns' method. Or, stay single if you know you can't stand the concept of marriage. Steele, I agree with your comment that if you're married, you shouldn't portray yourself as single. If you're going to play the game, play it with some honor.

It boils down, I think, to the way you think and believe. If you feel you are joined in the eyes of God, then you'll make all efforts to stay together, even when those efforts lead to destruction of both parties. If you don't take the vows and ceremonies seriously, you might destroy each other with your dalliances. In the latter case, there HAVE been people that can live their lives as a lie, but it seems to be a difficult life.

Love is an unholdable thing, despite what Hallmark would have you believe. If love disappears, no piece of paper or metaphysical rite will hold you together.

WELL, AS I SAID BEFORE, SOME PRETTY DEEP STUFF IN HERE!
