Ok, dont have time to read the whole post!! I dont see a problem with it at all! In fact my dad and I were talking about this the other day... we have an old man living across the street who is the most hateful person I have ever met against african american people... I even got into a BIG heated argument with the man because he had the nerve to say that he didnt thing that anyone who wasnt white was an actual human being!!! Yeah I know!! It pissed me off big time as I have all kinds of ppl in my family and he was basically telling me that my neice and nephew werent human!! So yeah some words were said on that one, but wont go into details...

As for me, I have no problem with it at all. People are people, their skin color doesnt determine what kind of person they are. People of all shades can be beautiful and wonderful and amazing! So dont let anyones looks determine how you feel about this guy. When they look at you, walk that much closer, hold hands, give him a kiss. Its none of their business who you are with, and they shouldnt be looking at you any differently than they would a "matching"- (for lack of better words...) couple. We all have the same insides, and the outside to me doesnt matter! So go and have fun and if he is wonderful than GREAT! Good for you and just ignore the ppl in the world who are stuck in the past!

My dad saw it and he said it was a great movie! Then again he and Charlie are friends in real life, so of course he would!! But he said that the movie portrays him very well, that it was exactly how he acts!! I dont remember him cause it has been years since I have seen him, but he is an awesome guy and so funny!!!

I say, go for it!! Rent it and see if you like it. I am sure some wont, I have yet to watch it as there are naked women in it and I cant ever find time to watch it when my kids arent around!!

Me too, depends on how I feel, if my kids are at home all day, if I am taking classes, and how many errends I have to run on that day!! Like yesterday i did all the yard work and washed 2 cars... didnt even get to mine!! But the point is I was outside from 9 in the morning until 6 last night, so all I did was throw some food at the kids, clean the kitchen, round up the toys and laundry and toss them in the direction of the toy box and laundry hamper!! But if I am inside all day I will clean until I cant clean any more!! In fact... thats got me thinking... maybe I better go now...




Nah, it can wait!!

Thanks y'all!! I felt a little bad because it ended up so long, but I went ahead and posted it hoping that nobody would mind too much!! I had a lot to say on the topic!!

I am so glad you all liked the post and nobody got mad at me for writing too much!!

Finally onto the last part... yes kids do need a male role model... I agree, but if one is not available, then a woman can do most anything a man can do, they just have to set their minds to it. I play football and baseball with my son, I teach him about what he should/shouldnot do around other guys and girls. I will work on my car and let him help me... just have to make sure that you arent raising a sissy boy!! lol!! I do a LOT of things that would be considdered a "mans" job, and involve my son as well as my daughter in everything I do. In fact they helped me do all of my mowing and weed eating today! So if there is no b/f, husband, Uncle, Grandpa, or male friend around, there are things that you can do to try and add a little masculinity to the situation.

And that works both ways, if there is no woman around, then get the kids involved in what are typically "womans" jobs. Get them to help do the cleaning, picking up toys and sorting laundry. Have them help make a shopping list and give them items to find and put into the cart, if they are lil girls, buy them some cutsie little girl stuff, hair holders, dresses, cute shoes and maybe even a purse!! I do all of these things with my kids, a man can even paint a lil girls fingernails!! I have actually seen this done!!

There are lots of options as to how to solve the male/female role model issue, you just have to be willing to try and make a few changes yourself for your kids...


OK!! Now I have said my peice, and I in no way ment to offend anyone, just stating what I personally believe and how I handel my own life as far as relationships and children go. There are a lot of different ways to go about this and far more ideas and beliefs than those of what I have stated. I know some of what I wrote may not be what everyone thinks and thats fine, these are just things I do or try not to do when it comes to my kids being involved or not involved in a relationship... So hopefully nobody will take offence to anything I have written!!



And I do hope that by now your son is doing MUCH better and that you are too!! Dont give up on men, you can find some really rotten ones as well as women, I just took a break... 4 years long break!! after my last serious LTR and am still on break until I finish college! sometimes a break and time to refocus on yourself and your kids is just what the dr ordered!!

Have a wonderful evening!!

Ok, after finally reading most of the pages!!!

One, when I am in a relationship, I tell my kids that the guy is a friend of mine. I never ever let them know anything more. No kissing, touchy feely, nothing in front of them period, end of discussion! If for some reason I do let him stay the night... he sleeps on the couch... well until they go to bed and always is back there before they wake up... ok I havent tried that since my daughter was born, but was the rule before her and will continue to be the rule.

I always make it clear to him... that they are my kids, I take care of them, not him... my kids will know him as a friend only, not as a father figure in anyway! And I make it clear that if something happens to break off the relationship that we should stay friends no matter what... which in turn means that my kids will stay friends with him... Normally this has worked for me. In fact I have 2 ex's from years ago who will still call me and talk and ask to say hi to my son-he was my only child durring those relaionships... So there was no broken heart for him... I have not dated since I had my daughter 3 years ago, for my own reasons, but all will stay the same when I do get into another relationship.

As far as male bashing goes... no need for that. Any person can act the same way toward the kids. Men and women alike can cause a great deal of hurt for a child when a relationship goes bad. Being more careful of who you date can help on that level. But she was upset at the time of posting this thread obviously, so lets all cut her a LOT of slack on this one. Im sure she knows that not all men are alike just as not all women are alike, she was just venting and rightly so!!

I always keep in touch with the kids a LOT after a break up so they dont feel that they did anything wrong, but not all are willing to get past the emotions they feel toward the break up to realise there is a small person being hurt. In which case, you have to be all you can be for the child and take extra time and attention to have fun and occupy their time until they get over the break up. Sometimes it may take a while, just make sure that you are there for the kids involved and get them into new and better things!

Ok, first let me say no i didnt read all of the posts on this thread because i didnt want to read anyone arguing for that long!! Second let me say I dont want to argue with anyone on here!!

So here goes, it was said to me that the rice rations were from big suppliers who were putting a 4 bag limit, bags being 20 or 40 lbs I cant remember... But that it was put on them so that people cant go buying tons of rice and trying to jack the price of it up and sell it for profit. I dont think that on a personal what your family can eat level there are any rations whatso ever... I think this is just to do with trying to keep people from buying the rice and selling it at outragious prices to those who really need it.... And before I get asked, this info is from my father who happens to be one of the smartest people I know. He is very political and very up to date with all current events at all times. I hadnt heard anything about this until Ship pointed it out in this thread... and before I posted a comment about it I wanted to wait and ask my dad about it because he can always explain things so that I can understand them.

So basically I dont think that any one person has to worry about the normal consumable rations of rice that they purchase, its just the people who are thinking of buying rice and selling it for profit who will be stopped by this ration. I myself dont see anything wrong with that. We have pleanty to feed Americans and then some, its merely a means to try and controll the price from getting even higher for those who really cant afford for it to get any higher than it already is.

But again these are my opinions, I have done no research on the matter other than speaking to my dad, who did do research on it... Hope this helps to clear up some issues and some arguing that was done previously on here. We can all get along I am sure, and I truely hope that nobody got too mad on this thread or any other because thats not what any of us are here for!!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful morning, day, night!!



And please dont call the spelling/grammer police on me!!!
