    Band Aids don’t work when you’ve busted something deep. Hot glue works better than instant glue.

    I thought genius account were for paid memberships? I dont know yet how this works, but I know I cant go back more than a week to get the panels. I am waiting to see if I can get a paid membership. havent done so yet because I dont have an income at the ,moment and my husband is about to not have one either so I am waiting and see what happens. Hoping for the best .

    I fell in love with Love is since 1974 , but was able to start collecting them sInce 2003.. I found theM again in 2003 AT comicspage but it was abruptly taken offline in August 2008 and then luckily they brought the comic here :)

    we are really missing a forum like we had before though. Hope that they make one soon.

    Honey, as far as I know the’re paid accounts so I don’t know where it came from, but I’ll use it if it’s there. I went through yesterday and picked off the “for better for worse” story about Liz and Anthony and “Non Sequitur” story about Joe and Brenda. They’re both about clueless halves of couples, kind of like mine.

    In my case, she’s afraid to risk the friendship and will lose it because she doesn’t risk it. I just have to find a nice way to give her a smack upside the head and to pay attention, kind of like the old Joni Mitchell song “Big Yellow Taxi”. We’re more like an old married couple than newly starting out. I was talking to a cousin asking for advice and she just looked at me and told me that we’re married LOL

    Take care and keep smiling xxoo

    lewreader, Maybe more like duct tape, or speed tape as we liked to call to hold our cars together. I’ve heard people call it duck tape. I think everyone has a different name for it depending on how it’s used. Best use I ever saw was a guy I worked with who made wallets out of it.

    Dê uma chance aos que se perderam
    nos trilhos da existência.

    Aproveite a vida ao máximo.
    Sem perder nada!
    Mas dê alguma coisa em troca.

    Dê mais de si!

    Por você mesmo e pelos outros.

    Tanto talento assim e vai ficar aí
    feito um caracol voltado para si mesmo?

    É se preocupando com os outros
    que você recebe uma profunda
    alegria e satisfação interior.

    Ninguém pode viver só para si e ser feliz.

    Experimente se dar mais.

    Experimente dar um pouco do
    muito que você tem,
    do muito que você é para as pessoas.

    Principalmente para aqueles que
    precisam mais.

    Nem pense nos bens materiais, viu?

    Pense em coisas mais nobres e
    que dependem só de você!

    Dê a sua compreensão, o seu perdão,
    a sua atenção…. o seu amor!

    Existe sim muita gente precisando de pão!

    Mas todo mundo precisa de carinho,
    de compreensão, de perdão e de
    reconhecimento.

    Pelo menos duas dessas coisinhas
    você tem de sobra pra dar:
    reconhecimento e carinho às pessoas.

    Você sabe reconhecer o esforço de
    alguém, certo?

    E você sabe dar carinho no momento
    mais adequado.

    Vamos! Força! Abra os olhos!
    Abra o seu coração!

    Deixe que o seu amor guie a suas ações.

    Dê uma chance, uma atenção,
    um incentivo ou um abraço aos indecisos,
    aos fracos, aos covardes, aos infelizes…
    dê uma chance aos que se perderam nos
    trilhos complicados da existência.

    E nunca esqueça que Deus está com você!

    “Os que menos merecem sempre são
    aqueles que mais necessitam”
    (Colaboração de Luis Carlos Mazzini)

    PAZ E LUZ PARA TODOS VOCÊS!!!
       
          -:¦:- E -:¦:-
     
    Um Dia Abençoado para todos!!

    somebodyshort - My lady friend and I were friends for a few years before we started dating.
    She was with someone when we met, I was dating someone when she split with him.
    We were both afraid to lose the friendship if things didn’t work out dating.
    I know it was a little strange having a first date with a person I had already said I love you to (as a friend).
    It’s been 8 months now, gave her a promise ring a few weeks ago.

    Somebodyshort: Did you participate in one of GoComics surveys? That’s how I got my Genius badge. It’s only good for 90 days, but it has given me the chance to go back and read some of the “best of the best” from years past.

    JanVic, That must be it.

    Doc, Congratulations.

    I’ve known mine for 20 years, neighbours. 7 years ago when my ex and I split up, she was the one friend that was there for me, more so even than family. Turns out she was in the process of splitting up. We’re in contact every day and hang out 2 or 3 times a week. We spend more time together than a married couple. When she needs an ear she calls me as often as her twin sister. It’s to the point that we have a joint account to make shopping easier. What she wants is a boyfriend that she can change out at will and me as the soul mate and rock that she can anchor to. Something has to give !! When she starts talking marriage and stuff like that she looks at me and says no, the friendship is too valuable. It’s a case of getting her to wake up or walk away.

    When my ex got engaged, she got blind sided. She had no idea it was coming, but her family saw the signs a year earlier.

    I’ve thought about an engagement ring or a promise ring just to freak her out. I have a number of opportunities between now and Christmas to get her attention. I just may do a promise ring for Christmas. In fact I’ll leave that as a survey question if I should do that or not.

    :)

    SOMeBODYSHORT:

    the friendship wont get ruined no matter what since you have been friends for so long, What can possibly happen that has not happened before?

    In any case if things didnt work out I know a lot of people that have been together and had to separate and are best friends now. It doesnt mean because it didnt work out the friendship will be ruined.

    I dont know you but you seem to be really nice by the way you express yourself and talk about your better half. Just that is 95% of the battle won :)

    Bring here here, well convince her lol lol

    That Zits panel is hilarious! Thanks, Doctor Toon, for the heads-up, and congrats!

    I love today’s panel, one of my favorite sayings:

    Love IS… fragile. Handle with care! =-)

    haha the zits panel is so awesome! funny….
    somebody short, i think you should do it, better to risk it than regret it later, and if it doesnt work at least you asked and can still be friends. if it does work - well YAY :)

    December 17 2007 is the first one.

    See JanVicVV’s comment. I did a survey a while back and that must be why I have the genius. If there is a survey available that may get you in for a while.

    I just about have all of them in a word document. Is there any way I could get it to you, such as a one time e-mail address? Don’t use your own address, you’d just end up with horrendous spam.
