Si Si.....Lei è fredda

Come fredda? I'm an Aries, burning every pans!




Thanks Play!! XOXOXOXOXOXOX

And I'm a Taurus & even more obstinate than an Aries!

Oh damn, what an awful combination!!!!!

YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!!
Locks horned!

Aries women are TOO IMPULSIVE!!

Ok, let's get this thread back on topic, please.

Sorry Kat
Not about him but about his wife, now
So sweet and important what she do with her Mending hearts organization

Great woman he has


(So to finish: Yes
Impulsive

When a punch is needed
A punch will arrive)

GH - Yes, what a great man! Cool, low key, humble.
Very pleasant demeanor. Just the vibe I get observing him.
LH seems so supportive too.
They must really love each other. That's the backbone to a good marriage.

A couple of years ago, I tried to get an interview with Mr. Heslov for the paper I write for. The American was doing quite well, and I thought this might entice the local theater owner to play it on his screens, but it never panned out. I should have tried when he was selling The Men Who Stare At Goats, since he directed it. Anyway, that's life. I am sure he would have done it, but he was probably busy. Somebody has to work in their office. LOL. OK, that was mean. We all know they both work equally. (Wink! Wink!)

As for Lysa Heslov, I think her work is admirable. I am now shifting my career focus from journalism to social work. I really want to help kidney patients, more particularly dialysis patients, since I was on dialysis for a year and five months. In fact, I just got accepted to graduate school for social work.

Good girl! great idea

good for you KTSue. The world needs more poeple like you

I love Taurus's; I find their intellect to be challenging and it keeps me sharp

Lysa seems to be the perfect match for Grant. Now if Lysa and Grant can balance like they do, why does George have trouble finding a woman who can compliment his lifestyle. Surely she's out there.

Out there somewhere

Hope he can find her ASAP

Evidently he hasn't...

Or he'd be with her instead of hired red carpet seat fillers.

No other logical explanation.

Yep

Lucky Grant has Lysa then.
George must feel sad & empty that something so important lacking in his own life.

If he had seen someone out there & he'd have feelings for her he'd be with her instead of no substance pretence.
Some people know instantly. Like his father did & within months married His life partner Nina....

But George hasn't found someone for whom he feels love like that. Like Grant & Lysa or Nick & Nina.

Debbie said, "compliment his lifestyle." Not love or moulding her into that role. No, conditions are set. That's not love.

If George choose to be married he would be, not saying at times he might get lonely. But you can be married and have a house full of people around you and still be lonely.

George is living the kind of life he wants to everyone looks for different things in life. That does not make any of our ways right or wrong. I could have very easily missed being married. If and when he wants marriage than he will change his life. We have no right to tell him that he should do this or that. You just love him for who he is a magnificent human being. JMHO

It depends on how fine and secure you feel with the other one

it's me wrote:It depends on how fine and secure you feel with the other one

I agree!

I never married...recently I bumped into an old school friend she say "Sure you never took a husband...can you believe it?"
I replied I had "taken" several, and given them back in better condition than I got them in....(heard it somewhere can't take the credit) 
Marriage shouldn't be an expectation in life...why?  If it happens then that's great ....but it's like Christmas some are better than others. AND at the end of the day "we were put here to be HAPPY (make OURSELVES happy) not expect someone else to do it for us" ..I know it sounds a selfish concept...but incredibly hard to do
for women esp; JMO.....X Happy and Single

I agree, most of my friends are married or in a long term relations ship and / or have children. I'm the rare version who enjoys the single life (But not like George LOL). I always get asked "And...when do you find you Man?"....And if I think about when I visit my family....oh dear.....Don't know why so many people expect marriage to happen in life. Not everyone needs to have this piece of paper to enjoy a good relationship. I'm sure George figured that out by now....But I would love to see him in a more serious and stable relationship

My point was about the special bond between Nick & Nina or Grant & Lysa. What seems to be true, supportive, blissful love & happiness. A perfect balance, unity .... Hence, that kind of marriage. 

Many people settle & compromise. I won't. Just like WWHS & Nicky.
I'm a runaway groom a couple times over. 
Most marriages end in divorce because people just settle.
And, yes, you can feel more  lonely in an incompatible marriage than being alone.

My point was that George obviously never found/ met/ saw a woman to love intensely & want to share his life in the same way that Nick or Grant  or even Matt Damon did....

Maybe he yearns for that as he seems romantic.  If he had found someone he loved, he'd be with her by now &  probably feeling complete. His other half, so to speak.
But he obviously hasn't...

I agree!

Suspicious minds.
Making excuses due to own self doubts.

So, that's not idealistic true love.

Ooo Ocean,  please not the "other half"....
If so what half am I ?
Will I get a refund in heaven because I was only ever "half".
Only joking......X
PS, Shall we share George? What half do you want ?
THEN I'LL BE 3/4 ....result I'm getting there....X

This is on Mr Heslov's thread...sorry!....X

LOL I was laughing hard.

well, dear wwhs, very few are fortunate to find that all elusive other half who completes them.
Very few. But we all secretly wish...

You can have GC all to yourself...Share him with all the other COH ladies.  
I'm a straight boy

How can I refuse such a generous offer...you are a very kind man.....X

Oh, & I don't mean "soul mates" as other half, to you cynics.
I mean, another human with whom we're happily in love who makes us feel complete.

I don't know if soul mates exist. But I've never met one.

LOL but you need to share with me  So don't be too happy LOL

Ocean....how strange! I DO believe in Soul Mates....My best friend is a soul mate, ONE of my sisters is a soul mate, a teacher who taught me was my first.
So yes they do exist....maybe thats why I've always felt kinda whole as I am. I have been sooo lucky.
You will know a soul mate when you meet one....It's somebody who makes you laugh more than anything....but who bring you to tears like nothing else in the world. IMO.
I hope you experience it soon.
Hugs from your friend
Halfy...X

@Halfy -  I'll make you feel complete.

(Wow, what's with the emoticons. I feel I'm at optometrist getting new smiley Snellen chart check- up)

O/T - what a great man Grant Heslov is indeed. Brings all this good, positive loving energy on his thread's online pow wow.  

Maybe soul mates exist. 

Well, this conversation could turn into a philosophical entity all it's own. I love philosophy but results from it can lead to many replies of agreeing to disagree so I'll end it with just that. Could be a good grind tho . . .

Do we know how Grant met Lysa? Was it love at first sight?

MAYBE ONLINE, NOW THERS A THOUGHT,,,X

MAYBE ONLINE, NOW THERE'S A THOUGHT....X

If Grant and George are friends for so long I wonder how he felt when he dated Lysa and at the end got married to her.  Was George the best man? Maybe he set them up???

what would he say wrote:MAYBE ONLINE, NOW THERE'S A THOUGHT....X

Now if everything we sought answers for were searched online, there would be no discussions on this forum, and I, for one, really enjoy the interactions of my virtual friends here. Plus, this forum is like taking a bunch of internet retrivals of information and combining them in this centralized location, and I also appreciate that!

Not much info available on Lysa. Mainly about Mending Hearts charity.
She's from Savannah, same age as Grant & was an indie music producer prior to marrying him.

As for Grant, his friendship with George goes way back to 1982. Apparently Grant lent him $200 for his head shots at the time & George remained forever grateful. Solid friendship.

Re: soulmates - well, maybe it's like a strong magnetic pull you cannot control. Often "feeling" or thinking about them, synchronized or parrallel thoughts....not sure how to explain.... Too confusing for me.

I remember reading that Grant and Lysa got married in 2008.  I think Olivia is from a previous relationship from Lysa.

some things just cannot be explained

True, I couldn't find anything online either. Wonder how long they are already married....

Ocean 
Guess you got it 
Or maybe this is a way to describe something so hard to put on words 

You're the best theminis, thanks for the post

It's not just marriage, it's babies too, I've been married 5 years and I'll I hear is so when are you going to have a baby, so sick of hearing that, just because I'm married doesn't mean we ave to have kids

I like your quote Picachu. I agree that marraige isnt about finding someone to make you happy. Marraige is just about sharing and accepting your partner for what he/she is. True, we have to make our own happiness in life. And I didnt have babies until I was married almost 8 years. Then divorced after 12 years. But I tried. And your quote really hit home with me about giving them back in better condition!
