• Xanga Problems

  
  

  Xanga and I haven't been getting along.  It seems that I now do receive my daily subscriptions in my email to read what others post.  And I don't get the daily email that says who has posted here.  Of course, I don't care about the last one since I don't get that many replies. 

  
  

  I still haven't received an answer on why I can't use my domain name, DMo224.com, for this site.  It used to be used for coming to this site, but ever since I didn't pay Xanga the extra bucks for them to register my domain name, I can't get them to give me the DNS to make it come here.  Maybe that's the punishment I get for not paying their $29.95 and only paying my $9.99 for the domain name? 

  
  

  Compliments

  
  

  Can't you give someone of the opposite sex a compliment without wanting to have sex with them?  It seems that it's not possible to some to give compliments without wanting something.  It's not that way with me.  I give compliments because people deserve them and not with some underlying urge to get something from them.  Check out what happened to me:

  
  

  I was standing on the edge of my property near the street.  There was a home-owners association yard sale going on across the street, so there were cars and people everywhere.  I noticed two young women walking up the street towards me.  They were attractive and I thought the may be sisters from their resemblance to each other.  I thought one may be around 17 or 18 and the other one mid 20s.  I may not be good at guessing ages.  I just smiled at them.  Like I would smile at just about anyone passing by.  And of course, they were better to look at than some of the ol' guys with their beer bellies.  Anyway...

  
  

  The older one stopped in front of me and said, "What are you looking at?"  I was taken back.  I just said, "Huh?".  She then explained to me, in a rather distasteful tone, that all these guys are always looking at her daughter.

  
  

  "Daughter?" I asked.

  
  

  "Yes!" she said, kinda' sharp.

  
  

  I told her, "She's alright, but I think you are the hot one."

  
  

  The stammering words that came out of her mouth for the next minute did not make any complete sentences, nor much sense.  I take it that my comments are not what she expected, and I would guess that some men have been bothering her daughter.  She smiled awkwardly and I told her to have a nice day.  Then I walked over, got my mail, and went inside.

  
  

  I guess compliments are really misused a lot!

  
  

  Other occasions

  
  

  I've realized that sometimes that I may be taken wrong.  Geemyknee!  I stopped in at a friend's employment to give her a shirt from a volleyball team.  She wasn't there, but one of the employees said they would give it to her.  I asked them to tell her that I missed her at the volleyball games.  They did, but they also asked her if I was "sweet" on her.

  
  

  Then I got asked by a friend about another guy.  I frequent a store and there's one guy in there that seems to know everything about that store.  I spoke up one day in line and said that he knew everything about the store.  I was being friendly and nice.  He's always been nice and a great help to me.  But since he may act a little effeminate, then there was a question about my compliment.  Geemyknee!  I'm not gay, and I don't care if he is or not!  He deserved the compliment.

  
  

  Don't compliments go along way for making people feel better?  When given without expectations, it makes both the giver and receiver feel good.  Is there harm in that?  It's like saying "Thank You".

  
  

  Online Compliments

  
  

  After that, I started thinking about the compliments that I've given online.  I hope that if I've given you compliments online that you don't think I'm some lecherous man wanting something.  My hunni says that some think I'm a flirt since I may give a compliment or just have a nice conversation with someone that I don't know.  I just enjoy talking with people and I think it shows with my conversation.

  
  

  Oh well, I won't stop giving compliments or being friendly.  It seems that it's the outsider to the conversation that always takes it wrong.
