Someone close to me is sick and we're putting together a bucket list. We could use some help/inspiration…
Thank you.

They got no teef!
wonder why meth addicts looks the worst?
Why it causes more damage to appearance than other drugs?
@tyler.durden: In regards to teeth? Because it leeches out of their gums. Also, causes a dry mouth (saliva protects your teeth) and they tend to also clench/grind when high. And… they probably don't have very good oral hygiene.
Meth addicts tend to suffer psychosis/mental problems, sometimes they pick at their own skin. It also makes you stay awake for days, and suppresses the appetite. Basically, they cease to be able to look after themselves. Meth addicts look the worst because they are usually full blown junkies.
Make a video/s for your kids when they reach milestones, like 18th, 21st, get married, come out of the closet… etc.
Hi Jar Jar, and sorry to hear the sad news. One thing on my bucket list is to travel to the African continent and help children less fortunate than us in some way. Whether that be by teaching, donating, or just reassuring them that all would be ok. I couldn't think of a better way to leave this earth than to know I've made someone's life a little better than it otherwise would have been. Please pass on our best to your friend :)
why need to travel there one day?
just send the charities your money nowelse it is just a fake dream to make yourself and others to think you are good.
Also plenty of homeless and unfortunate ppl in australia.
Don't need to travel far or do it one day…Thank you for the sentiment and sharing what's on your bucket list :)
I've made someone's life a little better than it otherwise would have been
You do that every time you post a bargain on ozb! You're a legend :)
Spend a month with that hermit from extreme pilgrim
Have you ever been on a silent meditation retreat? I've been wanting to attend one after reading Dr Siegel's book, Mindsight, in which describes his experience. Here's an extract: A week of silence
I walked up the very steps of that mountain and entered the cave of Antony the first monk, spent a few days in the monastery also though i didnt meet the hermit. Really made me revisit my priorities, I find we keep ourselves as busy as we can in modern society, always trying to consume (whether it be tv,internet,music,food,etc) to stay busy and yet never really filled or satisfied, never being able to stand to be left to our own thoughts, because we dont like what we see, because it is emptiness…
Sorry went off on an tangent there..there's a 10 day silence retreat in Blackheath http://www.bhumi.dhamma.org
I know it seems like a long time but your friend may find it a helpful way to reflect on her life and how she wants things to proceed. the meditation may also help with future challenges when the end comes
Hi JJB.
Stay positive. Without diving in to your business stay focussed on nutrition. Drugs (like cocaine) are bad mkay.
Bucket list:
Write a song.
Spend a whole day holding hands
Plant a tree or better yet a secret garden.
Help someone who really needs it.All the best.
Drugs (like cocaine) are bad mkay.
I assume you mean in terms of legalities.
In terms of pleasure, there must be some enjoyment. Otherwise people would not pay exorbitant prices for them.
Thanks for the lesson Mr Garrison…
Fwiw - I mean if someone is suffering from an illness then recreational drug use would I believe not be recommended. They should value each day.
you believe but you haven't been there…
I'm starting to think all the OP threads are fake.
Looks like someone likes the attention.
You are entitled to your opinion. I negged because I don't agree with you.
The reason I say this, is because I sent him whim enquiring and he has turned off his messages for me. Genuine people don't fear questions imo.
Do you think the Kardashians are real? just wondering.
Do you think the Kardashians are real? just wondering
Is that a trick question? :)
JJB's real. I know because I've spent most of today with him. He's also a sweet man who is going through some very tough times. Cut him some slack pls.
@waterlogged turnip: She's only ever on ozbargain when she's at my place…which clearly doesn't happen very often :-(
I sent him whim enquiring and he has turned off his messages for me
Paronoid much?
@Jar Jar Binks: The other account is far too similar for my liking, whilst I gave you the benefit of the doubt when I first saw your posts, its now very suspicious.
@gamechanger:
I suggest you read more of JJB's posts to determine that for yourself. I don't think he is fake. He probably does enjoy the attention. It doesn't bother me and most of the Ozbargainers. I particularly enjoy the conversations between JJB, Tas and Wiki.
Making up a sickness is just wrong. Though the other threads posted doesn't really help his case.
I wouldn't be surprised if the OP and his partner is the same person, like that Norman Bates. And he keeps on getting fed. So threads like this is just a part of OzB life.
Unless he is Rick who's posting real issues that come from his inter-dimensional selves. Making his partner Morty.
So I have analysed wickets posts and guess what? The writing is far too similar to JJB, looks like the same person is writing under that account.
Does it change anything? All I know is the ozbargain forum is more interesting because of him/her/them. Generally speaking all creativity comes from some aberration in processing information, also known as a mental disorder.
@gamechanger, I don't understand your obsession with JJB:
gamechanger on Sun, 20/09/2015 - 20:36
How come your account was started before JJB's?wicket1120 on Sun, 20/09/2015 - 20:37
Because I introduced him to Ozb. What do you have against JJB?gamechanger on Sun, 20/09/2015 - 20:39
Why did you introduce him 2 years later to Ozb?
He blocked me private messaging him.wicket1120 on Sun, 20/09/2015 - 20:41
He hasn't blocked just you . He was getting some very strange PM from people he didn't know, mostly women. He's blocked everyone, except for close friends and me.gamechanger on Sun, 20/09/2015 - 20:44
These friends you mention, have meet you in real life? Any members on here that met both of you?Please stop sending me private msgs. Your obsession with us is starting to freak me out. Thank you.
Edit:

The posting of our private conversation, has confirmed my suspicions.
Totally unnecessary what you have done. How exactly asking simple questions about the validity of his posts is freaking you out, is laughable. Period.Totally unnecessary what you have done. How exactly asking simple questions about the validity of his posts is freaking you out, is laughable. Period.
We don't know you. We don't want to have private conversations with you. If you had questions regarding this thread, why couldn't those questions be posted here? Why the insistence that I or wiki accept PMs from you?
Why continue messaging her after she had politely asked you to stop?
Final question: if you're as good a sleuth as you would have us believe, how come you didn't know about my relationship with Wiki?
Didn't you have that crazy lady stalker at some stage… Was that you? Is she here?!
How about you look up and see that I sent 1 message after she said to stop and that was to tell her there is an appropriate place for these messages and it's not here.
The relationship sounds like a sham, made up for attention. The similarity between hers and your writing is remarkable or perhaps the same person.
How about you look up and see that I sent 1 message after she said to stop
She only stopped receiving messages from you after she blocked you. She blocked you after she politely asked you to stop PMing her and you ignored her request.
was to tell her there is an appropriate place for these messages and it's not here.
I still don't get why your msgs to us have to be private. Do you have anything to hide?
We don't owe you anything. We don't have to email you our ids to prove who we are. We don't want to have any sort of relationship with you outside of this forum. So please don't try to have "private" conversations with us because we're not interested.
You don't like us, then don't comment on our posts. It's that simple. There's also an option to hide all comments from a user. It's next to the report button , which btw, you can also use if you have a valid reason.
Peace.
The irony. Seriously. Talk about people behind their backs as if you know them (to another member of the forum via PM), making all sorts of bizarre accusations about their personality when you know nothing about them, and then whinge on the public forum that you're being PM'd to by other members like you're being harassed.
The irony.
His heart was never into it.Thanks to mods, I've been able to retrieve some of the messages from gamechanger that I had previously deleted. One of them was :

@gamechanger, sorry mate. But some of your PMs were quite full-on and did creep me a little.Didn't mean to hurt your feelings though :(

@Gimli: United States of JJB? Unlikely! I prefer the menage-a-trois theory. If we take out Tas from the equation(he could babysit the twins), then I'm getting it on with the woman of my dreams. I'm all for any theory/alternate version of this universe were I'm getting laid.
@Gimli: Rest assured I am not linked to him. But you're right he does have other accounts to get his posts viral.
@gamechanger: If this is truly what you believe, then you should report my post.
Sockpuppeting
For the purposes of OzBargain, it's posting a deal or commenting on a deal without declaring affiliation with the company.Its probably applicable for forum posts too.
Example:
The OP creates ghost accounts to vote and/or comment on their deal.
What you can do
Reporting your suspicions is a good idea but as moderators have a multitude of sockpuppeting detection tools, it's best to leave the investigation to them rather than making public accusations. Please submit issues by either reporting the suspicious post/comment) or by starting a topic in the Talk With A Moderator (TWAM) forum.
Thanks to mods, I've been able to retrieve some of the messages
To clarify. All that happened here was that JJB was reminded about the trash folder.
Mods did not retrieve PM's nor do we have access to a users PM's.
All that happened here was that JJB was reminded about the trash folder
Correct. I was advised to check my trash folder. I retrieved the PMs from there myself.
Particularly, of late, on OzBargain, Jar Jar 'Spidey' Binks and I have been having something that (extremely disturbingly) resembles a 'bromance'.
*suddenly feels like having a chuck but manages to hold it in*
If Wicket and Binks are one-in-the-same person / two identical nuts in the same nutbag (as opposed to being increasingly separated, separate, nuts), then I am the biggest fool on OzBargain.
I pride myself on not being a fool.*takes break to post 'eyebrows on fleek' comments on several supermodel selfies in today's instagram feed because those comments don't write themselves ya know*
Even allowing for the fact the Turbulent Twosome have occasionally logged in and posted comments via the other's account (yep, that has happened), and even allowing for the possibility of a teensy-tiny bit of embellishment in some comments by someone silly, and reckless enough to adopt the name 'Jar Jar Binks' on The Internet, He is a discrete nutbag (as opposed to a 'discreet' one - he ain't that), and She, Wiki, is indeed, another.
I told your complementary unshelled nut that I wasn't going to comment at all in this thread, and I'm still not, except for this. >
Just in case the Jedi Twins have run out of ideas for pets they'd like to adopt…
A link to this video was in the main reddit feed from a couple of days ago.Courtesy of a previously-watched nature doco, I knew that these critters (no more appropriate word) made some crazy noises, but. OH. MY. GOD.
Pumpkin = MUCH EXCITEThe Binks/Wicket family will want one,
I want one, too.
*Posts forum topic that The Very Kindly Brave Charming and Ruggedly Handsome Mods Won't Move to the 'Everything Else'/Backwater/Graveyard category because said pet will be allowed to roam both in the 'Home' and especially in my 'Garden' to both entertain and Repel Land Sharks and because I need much advise and as many advices as possible from OzBargainers to achieve this so that I don't end up in an actual backwater or graveyard thanks*
Your post still doesn't address waterlogged turnip comment… and only JJB can.
Perhaps the depth of his stories have made you a fan?
@Tas, does this read like a love letter because it is a love letter?o.O
Do I need to chuck…or am I flattered? hmmm
I wonder if I can use this to my advantage? Would my increasingly separated, separate other 'nut' ( God,that's sound painful!) feel threaten by our relationship? You're way funnier than she is, and she knows it, you've got quite a way with words, the Jedi twins adore you and you could save all of us from an imminent attack from the s-s-s-snakes. You're a quadruple threat, Tas! If that woman knew what was good for her, she would come back home pronto before you sweep the mini jedis and I off our feet and whisk us, and the dog, and the cat, and the plastic fish, and the soon-to-be-bought chicks, and the veggie garden, and the soon-to-be-built chookhouse, away.
Chucks at the idea.
Maybe if I give wiki an ultimatum , she'll come back to her senses.
Quickly txt her : If u don't come back home, we're leaving your for Tas!
10 minutes later,… no reply :( I might have to go over to her place and show her your 'love letter'. Did I tell you that she now lives only 2 streets away from my place? 400 metres :)
Do I dress up as superman or as the toothfairy? o.O
Edit: Poor @Gamechanger! We've forgotten all about him. As for those playing at home,I'm planning to dress up as the Tooth Fairy because my daughter has lost one of her front tooth.
Well, it is your daughter who has lost the tooth and no mention of Wiki losing one of hers.
Maybe go with the Superman suit. I assume that there is still ice cream on your Spiderman one.
Wash your clothes, man.
If it doesn't work out, otherwise get some exercise and go to sleep, Jar Jar.
I heard that song just the other day. You could do worse.
Best of luck.
* insert other letter in front of uck*
Sure, but they have been known to fall asleep mid-serenade and that's in the daylight.
'D' was not one of the letters that crossed. One of the letters was 'Y'.
You too?
*suddenly feels like like having another chuck but manages to hold it in again just*
Just in case JJB actually visits, tonight, you have plenty of time to hide and put Ewok on guard - assuming said very dangerous dog is staying around at your place.
Have a good day, Lois.
Superman /The Tooth Fairy means well.@Tas:

(…)
'D' was not one of the letters that crossed my mind. One of the letters was 'Y'
Was the other letter 'f' because that did happen :) But we're getting ahead of ourselves.
Can anyone turn away a grown man dressed in a superman outfit ( yes cape included!), sewn for him by his dearly departed grandma? Clearly not! Because one of my neighbours opened the secure, card-activated complex door for him. In their defence, he was stone-cold sober and his goofy grin did make him look benign. He is benign.
He was also carrying a guitar. Guitar + good looks + cape + dishevelled hair + a polite "May I come in, please?" delivered with a sheepish grin ( after the kids had already opened the apartment door and thrown themselves at him in glee) *sigh. Like I said, he's benign…and endearing. This "biotch" (to quote you) didn't have the heart to kick him out. We watched a porcupine eat pumpkins all night.
I woke up early this morning (5 am?) to the sound of JJB fumbling in the quasi-darkness. He bumped twice into my dining table, stepped on something (could have been a lego piece) and let out a loud yelp and a muffled Merde!, while, I can only assume, trying to make his way towards the coffee-machine.The thing is, I don't have a coffee-machine! Oops! Poor JJB.
I heard his footsteps outside my bedroom door, some hesitations ( him, probably remembering that I'm a freaking tea drinker and coming to the realisation that I've no reason whatsoever to stock any coffee at my place) and that's when he let out your favourite four-letter word :) I snuggled happily under my doona and went back to sleep. Dreamt of tangues running free in sugar cane fields.
Edit: Just found a note that says:
"Borrowed your car for today. Emergency. work-related.You can have mine.Have fun with kids! And for the love of God , buy some coffee, woman!
p.s: I've used your toothbrush.Please, don't freak out!"I'm so freaking out! If you don't hear from JJB again, be worried. Be very worried! Cos it would mean that I've buried his body under our soon-to-be-planted magnolia star wars.
Before seeing Wiki later on, I would suggest that you find a phone booth (good luck with that) and change out of the Caped Serenader outfit and into a Toothbrush Fairy one.
Also, pick up a straightjacket from somewhere for gamechanger. The comment above will have done him in.
@Tas:
Shaved, showered, suited.Thanks goodness for office showers.I'm sitting on my 3rd meeting of the day.Then maybe attend to emails, spend sometime in the lab, lunch on the go, before my performance appraisal meeting with Head Honcho at 1.40. Just saw the email from the HRM: she would like to join us. She's no doubt planning to bring up my many,many transgressions, not least of all my erm-outfit of this morning. I came to work at 5.15 a.m, to attend to an emergency situation! I brushed my teeth, what more does she want?!
Meh. I've done worse and I'm still here.
*Now I've got that Sia song stuck in my head. How does it go?

Fun facts:
As per my beloved's comment above, when not cuddling My Jar Jar (hands-off wiki biotch), I display him facing the wall, Sia-style.
Currently wearing my Chewie jarmies as underwear.
@Tas:
Why am I so tempted to say Le mo ghrasa mise, agus liomsa mo ghra? :(Random question: what is your favourite lady's perfume, please?
I've given away my last flacon of Magnolia to the mini-Jedi. Its a dated perfume, which is no longer in production, but it was the only one that I could wear when I was pregnant and not want to chuck. Maybe you should try it considering how 'chuckyish' you've been lately.
I still wear Mognolia from time to time and I invariably get complimented on how good I smell (as opposed to how good my perfume smells when I wear Acqua Di Parma).
Happy to try something different or not.
Thanks!
Jesus H. Christ on a Bike.
I have a pretty impressive Irish accent (in the genes), but know no Gaelic, so had to cluelessly paste that into google, which is sad. Biotch.
Perfumes. As you obviously guessed from a comment posted in another thread, this is an area of particular interest for me, but maybe not in obvious ways. Definitely in one non-obvious way, but I'm going to avoid that altogether.
Only because you wrote this -
I still wear it from time to time and I invariably get complimented on how good I smell
am I commenting any more in a thread that I wasn't going to comment in at all.
I could be facetious and just suggest that you pick your favourite few current celebutantes - and with Jar Jar dragged by the ear and led by the schnozz - you try their 'signature' stuff out, with (including at least two different perfumes from one lip-sync 'diva') those genuinely as nice as any when used as subtly as all perfumes should be.
Why all so subtly(?) he plaintively asks women who so often (not you, I'm sure, Wiki) don't realise that you should never overwhelm the beautiful, individual, smell of your hair, which all girls naturally have irrespective of the shampoo and conditioner they use and even when it hasn't been washed for a few days?
Wiki, you don't want specifics, because they would be about as useless as the recommendation/insistence by the one 'eau-sauvage-as-her-catnip', only-girlfriend-who-wanted-me-to-be-not-au-naturale, after-shave-addict-mad-woman.
You do realise that this is an opportunity to go on some nice brief, flirty, little outings with JJB? Maybe even just down to the exciting, local, 'Chemist Warehouse', if no lunch-hour meetings do allow, elsewhere?
Do as I have done did, and reduce confusion for both. 'Science'. Don't spray testers, initially. Just sniff alcohol-free residue from the atomiser - that's enough to narrow down and pick just two for that day. Wrist and up a bit each side, either-side spray. JJB sniffs you on both your cute girly sides throughout the day.
Personally, I like most of the main scenty 'notes', but not equally. The balance of those that you will like is betwixt you two.
What should I end on?
All of that said, if a woman smells even a bit like vanilla, I will eat her like ice cream.
*puts on fresh pair of wookie jarmies*

@wicket1120: Subtlety is not my strong-suit, but you shouldn't misinterpret, either, sweet one.
In any case, Hey! There was some further nice baiting in comments above. Don't you remember what I said about obliging to my comment clutches?
Maybe a one-eyed cat has partially got your tongue? I won't factor in rude, Madam.
Maybe you're just avoiding the fray further above, and hoping that they don't notice you. Hmmm. Fair enough. *Note to self.*
'Florals' aren't my favourite, Wiki, but obviously very much in keeping with your scent - and JJB's plus the twin's more than fondness for, and sweet sense of, you. I didn't want to mess with that. Still don't.
Allusion to even the mainstream, cheap/notsocheap, but nonetheless cheerful and surprisingly complex, was intended, though. Genuinely (DJ Wiki) not to be dismissed as a subtle ("Hmm, that's nice, what is that, I can't quite place it?") complement and underpinning to the other things about you (DJ Wiki) that smell nice. For you, the lucky shih Tzu, one-eyed cat, silkies, prospective pumpkin-eating porcupine and possible pumpkin-eating Caped Serenader.
I hope that you may still go through the (very fun) process with JJB, if you do want to try some different things. Even if just somewhat different.
I take it that the caped-one didn't actually visit you last night, with him too busy writing comments, above, anyway.
Maybe tonight.*actually does leave the thread altogether now somewhat despairing of the likes of gamechanger who just doesn't get it*
Buy an RV, take it out to the desert and cook up some me….
…als with your family.
Srsly though an RV trip around the country with their young kids would be awesome. No plans. Just take whatever roads you fancy at your whim. Proper adventure. Good weather for it coming up too.
80k and a return flight to Germany. = Medically advanced treatment options are available in Germany. Next level type stuff.
BTW TS your threads are annoying and I have trouble believing them. I think the poster a few above me said it right when they made an observation of your behavior.
Medically advanced treatment options are available in Germany. Next level type stuff.
/paulinehanson_pleaseexplain
Best for one to do their own research, as it comes down to your personal health situation and the Oncologists advice in Germany. There are some next to useless treatments too, but the most promising future treatments are with third wave immuno-oncology that drugs in the pipeline.
Or check out VICE NEWS' 'Curing Cancer'.
80k and a return flight to Germany. = Medically advanced treatment options are available in Germany. Next level type stuff.
No, that's not correct. there is a lot of hype about German cancer treatments. the fact is that they have grayer areas of medical practice when it comes to cancer treatment. unfortunately the "treatments" offered have very little effect and have very little research into their effectiveness.
With all cancer treatments that are "not provided in Australia" or "not approved by the medical profession" there begs the most important question of "if these treatments are so effective then why aren't they being used in Australia?".
For example - people swear buy keeping your body alkaline to kill cancer. i.e. you should have alkaline foods and drinks. If it was that simple then why aren't Doctors swearing black and blue that this is what cancer patients should be doing?
Ultimately, and I believe that I am correct with this assumption, oncologists would like NOT to be treating cancer. Just like Doctors who specialised in Polio treatments in the 50's and 60's weren't very perturbed when the polio vaccine was introduced. Cancer (I acknowledge it's an umbrella term for a variety of conditions pertaining to abnormal cell growth) is a hideous disease that is at times relentless.
I have a long standing relationship with an associate professor of medicine who specialises in HER2 breast cancer. Her opinion of German medical treatments is that they show no significant benefit and infact can cause more harm than good. She stated that 4 of her patients went to Germany. 2 came back with no improvement, 1 came back far sicker and the 4th died shortly after returning - which she attributes to the german treatment. also, as above, she believes that these alternate treatments are so effective then why aren't doctors around the world using them? and no, it's not a big pharma conspiracy. How much money would Medicare save if "keeping the body alkaline" was as effective as Herceptin (which cost about $50,000 for a course) ?
Alternate treatments - sure, eating correctly is good and having a good diet whilst "battling" cancer is good. In fact even when a person is healthy it is good to have a good diet and looking after yourself. Ultimately, as I said before, if these treatments are so effective then why aren't they wide spread and provided by Drs?
Whilst people swear by alternate treatments it is important to remember that there was more than likely people who did these alternate treatments but did not survive their cancer. Hence we don't hear about those people that tried alternate treatments which did not help. 1 person says "I kept my body alkaline and beat cancer" but maybe 5 people kept their bodies alkaline and did not beat cancer. There aren't people pointing that out.
Further more, most people who try alternate treatments will have already had medical treatment for cancer -radiotherapy or chemotherapy. there fore when they try alternate therapies and the alternate therapies "work" and they "beat" their cancer then do they assign the success of their cancer to the medical treatment or the alternate therapy?
Just a number of points to consider.
Completely agree with you. I'm just saying that with all the money Angela Merkel has poured into Scientific Research in Germany, they really are making inroads with treating diseases. Even the German pharmaceutical scientists are developing some amazing drug treatments.

You are right, this could be the case. But many people die of cancer after doing everything that their oncololgists have suggested.

I don't think that anyone would go for an alternative cancer treatment if a conventional treatment had worked for them. If they have been cured, why would they bother.
You are right, this could be the case. But many people die of cancer after doing everything that their oncologists have suggested.
yes, people die from cancer despite doing everything that their oncologists have suggested. it's cancer. triple negative breast cancer (ER-, HR-, PR- ) is an extremely aggressive type of cancer. the prognonsis is very poor as there are very very few effective treatment options. HER2 postive BC has more treatment options - herceptin. how ever once a cancer metastasizes (spreads from the primary site) then prognosis for both these breast cancers becomes exceptionally poor with exprected life expectancy of ~6 months.
that's the problem. cancer is a bastard. oncologists can only do what they can. medical researchers are the hope. Dr. Dennis Slamon created herceptin which has saved 100's of thousands of women.
I don't think that anyone would go for an alternative cancer treatment if a conventional treatment had worked for them. If they have been cured, why would they bother.
It's not that they are "cured" and then take up an alternate cancer treatment. Because when you have cancer you want to do every thing to not have cancer. you don't sit back and say 'I'll wait for the Dr to cure me with chemo. you start researching and do what you think will "help" - to be an agent for your own well being. most therefore people take up an adjuvant alternate treatment. better to have at least 2 possible "cures" than 1.
Also, cured doesn't mean you have had some chemo and radiation and "see you later mate, you're cured". Once you have had no signs of cancer for 3-5 years then you can say you're "cured".
My grandma lived on a farm before the war (she migrated from Latvia to Australia after) and when we found out she had cancer last year, she said she just wanted to go back to basics, and milk a cow again!! Sometimes its just the small things..
Just dropping by to say good luck with your endeavour, and hopefully you can raise tons for charity in the process plus launch a successful business.
Based on a quick look at your site, I had a piece of feedback: I think the lack of a a footer with typical footer-type links makes the site lose credibility. I usually expect to at least see a copyright notice, and disclaimer / privacy policy / contact us / other typical footer links. It's just something familiar and increases trust in the brand & legitimacy of the business, I think.
Good luck.
Wrong thread :)
Yikes - sorry you're right!
I'd opened this thread to read and comment, and obviously mixed up my tabs.
Serves me right for having so many tabs open. ><
This is one off my bucket list. Hire a stretch limo for the day and make sure you've got all the trimmings, nice drinks, fancy nibbles and things. Then just go around random bus stops offering strangers no strings attached lifts to wherever they are going. Spend the day helping strangers travel in style.
Meant to up vote, but clicked wrong button… Sorry!
I often contemplate doing this when I just drive to work everyday! Never have done it though…
Best idea so far IMO! Often thought about doing this myself…
Become an Uber driver.
The one thing I want to do, more than anything in the world is spend a summer in Antarctica doing research. I have a small obsession with the place, and if I could make it there one day, even as a tourist, i'd be happy.
The other thing I want to do is Kate Upton.
Go to Africa.
Dye your hair crazy colours
Fulfill sexual fetishes
What's stopping you from doing all those things now?
My hair - my hairdresser refuses to because it's damaged from previous colour :(
Fetishes - I have. But I'm single now so need a partner to fulfil mine and me theirs.
I wanted to apologise if I came across as harsh or judgemental in the other thread. I have a little girl and it makes angry to think that some men, someday ,may try to take advantage of her,use and abuse her, like they did you.
If you were my daughter, I would tell you that it's not your job to keep a man interested.He's either into you or he isn't. Never jump through hoops, sacrifice yourself or change who you are for a man.Respect yourself, demand reciprocation and be confident that you're loveable and perfect just the way you are. Because you are!
@Jar Jar Binks:
Thank you.
And I'm sorry to say it but they will. Everyone regardless of gender is used by people in some way or another. That's life.
Either objectively (like me), emotionally, physically… Whatever.
The best thing you can do is to tell her to not obsess over it and to move on in life otherwise she will waste so much time thinking there is something wrong with her.From your end, you can be there for other people's little girls. Don't check out younger women because you are contributing to the cycle I endure. And older men will be sexualising your daughter and you don't want her to feel the way I do, do you? When you see other women picture your daughter.
Thank you for your advice. I really appreciate it :)
@Lemonade: He's one of those one-woman man, which is unfortunate because sometime relationships come to an end and you need to more on.
I wish your friend all the best with their health.
You sound like a wonderful friend to be doing this for them.
I think it would be nice to do some volunteering overseas with family. Leave some good memories for the kids
meth addicts looks really bad.
see those photos?
