PR- yes my students pull the it's because I'm black( or hispanic) I usually respond " no it's 'cause you're loud"
Tristan- hey we have leftovers darlin:) A big hug and happy birthday to your wife. And for future reference, I am a Leo and I adore horror movies and I can't wait for Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash...also please note my idea of a Valentine's movie was Alien vs. Predator. Oh and if you go see Descent or Pulse let me know if they're good as I've not seen them yet:)
Whitefall- yeah I'm waiting for me to say " hon I'm in labor we need to go" and him to respond " well I'm on a raid, can you call your mom?" ( just kidding there's not much chance of him doing that:)
On a side note I have to leave now for another fabulous training so hopefully I will see you guys later..HUGS to all
NV- let me know how things go:)
I choose to rise instead of fall- U2

Oh Yeah! I knew MsG was also a Leo... point made I think! Another awesome Leo Lady! (LOL at the image of MrG saying '...can you call your mother???'
)
Tristan - you would be most welcome to join me in some Turkish Delight - but would the Warrior Woman mind if I asked you to wear your Captain Mal outfit?? 
Also it's a fair way to 'New Melbourne from... where is it you're from? (PS my tongue was firmly in my cheek about the whole you in a Mal costume I'd never hit on a married man... any unmarried men are encouraged to apply here though... and make sure you borrow Tristan's Captain Mal or Dread Pirate Roberts costume on the way!! 
)
Uh... that should safely spoil my image for now...
Mwaaah - Magdalena x x x

Thank you for the birthday wish for the wife, PR. She does get on here every now and then, but doesn't post much...she's not too much of a forum-junkie like I am...
MSG, the wife was actually thinking about seeing Pulse...so that may be where we end up. I'll let you know.
Oh, if you need my mailing address for those leftovers, let me know!
Magdalena, the wife would not mind at all. She doesn't mind the flirting one bit...engages in it herself, from time-to-time, so no worries about anything. New Melbourne's not all that far away...I live in Alabama, so I'd just have to drive to the Atlanta airport and climb aboard a plane for about 20 hours or so. Well worth it for Turkish Delight, I think!

You obviously have a high opinion of my Turkish Delight - must say it's a little too runny for me to be sharin' it with anyone right now... hence i've just OD'd on it... with a spoon... mmmmmm I love it when a couple is secure enough to flirt a little - it is usually harmless and I love that I can flirt with lots of my male friends without it being taken the wrong way - something you simply can not do with you female friends as it doesn't have the same 'vibe'... makes sense... at all...???
Oh! And I will make up another batch soon 'coz i'm makin' it for 'my' little girls 5th birthday party this weekend - once you've seen 'The Lion, The Witch, & The Wardrobe' as many times as she has, you start to ask for it... This batch would be considered a liquid, no doubt, so I couldn't even post it to go with your enchilada's ... another of my favourites too!
Now, why do I have 'Sweet Home Alabama' in my head...
'Night everyone - Magdalena x x x"I love my Captain!"

I don't want to totally threadjack this whole thing, but how can a person ever say something like that. It's like saying I could never date and asian. Even if I tried I could never meet them all in my lifetime to ever justify a statement like that. I just never understand classifying a whole group of people in one way.
Of course I'm christian, but I also don't take offense to that. I just don't understand it.

Ok, here's the lamest part of internet personals; what do you do when someone just throws a basically loaded question at you? I got a message from this guy asking "Do you date black men?" Well, I haven't, but I've got nothing against them. But he's ten years older than me and a Christian (no offense to the Christians here; I just couldn't date one I'm sorry). So what am I supposed to say? "I've got no problem with your skin, but our creeds clash"? "I don't date men in their 30s"? And what the hell kind of question is that? I hate those "You should date me or you're racist" types.
See, now I see that is a legitimate questionand not one to get worked up over. If you aren't attracted to black men, might as well find out up front. I guess I see the question more like, "how do you feel about short men? Fat men? blond men?" etc. Yes, it could be loaded, and you won't know until you give him an answer, but I would give him the benefit of the doubt.
My response would be along the lines of "sure, but what actually concerns me is your religion." Then you get an opening to either talk religion and how large a role it plays in both of your lives or you can cut him loose fairly easily.
Tristan: wish the wife a very happy birthday....

Magdalena, have you invented the Turkish Delight smoothie?!? Shiny! Patent it; you'll make millions!
Yeah, the flirting thing is nice. There have been a few "bumps" (my Neanderthal brain taking something too seriously), but for the most part, all is well, and we both enjoy flirting.
Yes, Sweet Home, Alabama is the unofficial State anthem here. No joke, it is just like you hear.

It's not at all like saying I could never date an Asian!
Christians have a certain set of beliefs that define them as being Christian. These beliefs, in day to day life and particularly in intimate situations, would clash with mine on a very fundamental level.
My Ex of Doom was raised Christian, but claimed not to be one, and for the most part did not behave like one. However, right before our relationship ended, he started behaving more like one, and defending a faith he claimed not to follow whenever I said or did something that didn't agree with it. This was a big problem. I'm not sure if it was the cause of our breakup because I'm not even sure what the cause was as he didn't tell me, but it was a source of tension.
I know that Christians have different personalities and they aren't all the same, and I've had Christian friends, but it is a fact that they believe very different things than what I believe. To have a true connection with someone, I need to have certain beliefs in common with them. This is something I came to realize about me and me alone; it's just a fact.

I don't think it's a fact at all. I have yet to meet two christians who have the same set of beliefs. Every person has their own set of beliefs or values. You may be able to pick out a few that the majority of christians believe, but I don't think you'd get very far trying to list beliefs that every single christian holds. That's the last I'll say on the subject though. Don't want to get into a heated debate.

it may well be the case that the majority of christians have very, very differant belief's, but at root they do have a certain core, when contrasted with other system's of belief. If PR finds that these core belief's are so contrasting with her own she would feel uncomfortable being 100% honest and open with someone who held them, then i think that's not entirely unreasonable.
