I'll admit, I'm guilty of being gone for several months... even after getting notice of the special forum on this site. On the other hand, I'm certain that my profile is set up so I am notified if I get anything here, but I can double-check that.

Guess it's time to crack the knuckles and start doing something again on here... Especially since there's an Oregon Forum here now. Who knew we were so special?

There is a way to keep both ends of this concern out of a place of worry in your mind. The advice to let her choose her own path is a wonderful idea.

But this is where I voice my opinion... if my opinion means anything, never, I repeat NEVER neglect the attention you have in her decision, especially at this age.

Unlike most teens these days, chances are she's still at an age where she can appreciate any sort of attention from Mom. Ask her how the cheering went from time to time, when you feel you should. If she wants to demonstrate a few moves, be interested in what she does. If someone gives her a hard time be the squad or anything else, be there to help brighten the day.

I'm probably stating the obvious, but that's the way I see it. If she's fine, then you should be fine, and therefore shouldn't worry about the age difference so much.

Sorry, just had to comment.

I'm old enough to drink, and I do plenty of it.

What do I drink? Water, of course.

But whenever it's a beverage, a rarity I prefer is a good 'Strawberry Julius,' as we call it in my house. Not sure of the exact recipe, since I don't make it, but I know that it involves blending ice and frozen strawberries...

...especially if they are the eyes of the heart."

Well, that's how I think it is, or at least should be... but I don't exactly want to see that one in a literal sense! *shudders at the thought of staring eyes from the chest*

Anyways, despite what I think and all jokes aside, it seems to be more common these days than is necessary. If it didn't involve hurting them, I'd give a swift kick to the guys who can only go as far as skin-deep to think they're in love.

Wow, my own words revived? I must've really had some sort of inspiration the day I wrote this! I feel honored now... or should I feel silly?

Anyways, here's hoping it at least helps the gloom and doom go away with a laugh!

The sleeper awakes...

Okay, so I'm being dramatic. Either way, I had been gone for some time too; not for a month, but still for quite a length.

Maybe if someone had only logged in once or twice and never came back, but for us who try to stay around here... what then?

I'm a man with classical taste... I eat peanut butter sandwiches with either honey or strawberry jam. Don't ask me the type or brand of honey or jam since I never really care once I'm eating it.


What do you put on your peanut butter sandwich?: click here to read the entire thread »

The Emperor's New Groove, hands down. It makes a joke of so many things and yet makes them absolutely funny at the same time.

*calm* "Let me guess: we are about to go over a huge waterfall."
*calm* "Yup."
"Sharp rocks at the bottom?"
"Most likely."
"...Bring it on."

*sigh* society is overrated... old-fashioned or not, that's how it's been and how it should be, since it's likely how you get to know people and make friends. Unfortunately, chances are there are some 'wishes' of a woman that are just as bad as the guy's perspective.

Not saying that they always are, or even half of the time. I'm just saying that it's also a possibility much like it is with the guys.

I'm really tossing my hat in the air for this one, aren't I? Never saw myself coming into one of these things myself, to be honest... but here we go anyways.

And thanks, here's good luck for all of us.

Whee! ...wait, by 'buff,' you don't mean jokes, do you? I'm not really a beef body-builder, but I can have a beefy head...

wait, that analogy came out wrong... Oh well.

Ahh, I'll pop my face in here... don't know if I can consider myself a 'hunk,' though.

Must... refrain...

HUNK SMASH!! Argh, couldn't stop myself.

Oh, I can laugh at myself, alright... just feel really dumb when it happens sometimes. I still remember the time I didn't notice the search bar.

And okay, I'll admit it, every now and then I feel lonely. There. I generally find myself at a loss of words when talking on the subject of girls (anyone here remember my phrase "Check please?") but recently I have found a program in my area to go in to meet others around my age and I still have a hard time getting to know the other people in it.

Argh, someone find me a hitman, because apparently cupid keeps trying to shoot me...


I'm speechless: click here to read the entire thread »

No, I really am. I have a really hard time getting things out of myself and I can't figure out why that is. A shy nature is one thing, but when trying to make a first impression, I'm absolutely HORRIBLE at 'chit-chat' unless it's a topic I can grasp a hold of, and when I do, I feel like I'm still not talking, or tend to ramble a bit about that one particular topic way too much.

Some of you know my 'intelligent' side, and others my playful version. I could say I'm a wise guy, but that doesn't sound right...

But that's besides the point. I'm really trying to be active on here and in public, but I don't get half of the jokes apparently and I have made myself look like an idiot before, which I imagine is something I really should try to care less about... especially since the moments I am 'playful' I can be -really- goofy about. I suppose I could reserve my professional thoughts for those times when they're really needed as I have before, but...

What can I do? Must be having another "sigh" moment.

I have issues...
...oh, wait, we're not talking magazines, are we? Nevermind then.

Well, I will admit there is the one about trusting people. Not going into details, however.


ISSUES,ISSUES WE ALL HAVE THEM: click here to read the entire thread »

I don't know if these count, since I'm not sure what kind of affirmations you want, but I'll give it a shot...

An old phrase comes to mind:
"No matter where you go (or what you do) there you are!"

And one I like to think about:
"We have the Power to make Peace... with the Power to Destroy." Deny it if you want, this is absolutely true, especially when you consider the fact that 'destroying' something doesn't always mean with violence or malice!
