If you found out (or very highly suspected and had some decent proof) that somebody on the site wasn't who they portrayed themselves to be, would you tell anybody? With this, I mean their pictures are not real and they are lying about or embellishing their occupation.

My own answer is no,I will not but I had to argue with myself. Yes, you are saving any such person from humiliation but are you not also setting other unsuspecting women up for heartache? Should you just let them (and hope they do) figure it out for themselves? Does any of this even make sense?...maybe I need to lay off the Elmers fumes.

Did they meet online?

if u are giving her advice to talk it out with someone, do encourage her to see someone capable, such as a counsellor or therapist..

advice coming from friends often comes out as 'pushy' like u said, and she will not take it if she feels pressured, and if she does, she will later regret it.. or wonder if she made 'the right decision'.

if u feel incapable of helping her urself, encourage her to see a professional helper... she'll be in good hands..

Let her know you care.She needs you right now.

You wrote "She's on a mission to try to make it work at all costs...even her own happiness."

That is a recipe for disaster. Why forsake one's own happiness and integrity for something that a person does not feel secure in?

Your post is too vague. What kind of "trouble?"

After tonight, it's my firm belief that we should enforce some sort of limit on the amount of threads one can start. I ended up bumping alot of them to the second page by reviving the 2nd and 3rd page ones for those who are on dialup and cannot navigate as quickly. I am thinking a max of 4 per day is fine, any more and they can wait on it or go to bed.. instead of starting 20 new ones back to back.. then saying goodnight.

did u ever stop to think u maybe hurting eddies feelings because if he's who he says he is don't u think it would hurt him to read what u guys think of him.how would u feel if everyone kept saying u r fake.i know that i'd be really hurt and pissed off

Sorry, that was a really weird question...its just, one of the guys got married and didn't tell me and I was still dealing with stuff about him, it just...kind of hurt.

Suppose you had at least three different relationships with three different people at different people at diff. times in yr life, and you got hurt all 3xs. But you never really had time to deal with any of it, and you still had mixed up hurt that you were trying to sort out, but probably neither of the three were ever right at all, how do you deal with it all? And are you a slut just because you have to deal with feelings, and after all , who really has a right to say anything? Because everybody's human, and nobody has a right to judge, isn't that right?

I still like the man behind the hat. I liked the man in the purple shirt even better.

Yup, dead-on - good eye chief

do we fall in love? And why do some fall in love very quickly and others take much longer? And is there any difference between the two?

I was welding on my outdoor wood boiler today. I was grinding on it and pounding on it with a hammer and making all sorts of terrible noises that echoed throughout the otherwise peaceful placid forest.

Finally, I decided to take a bit of a break and take a little walk in my backyard. I hardly walked 20 yards when I noticed a deer standing right there in front of me staring right at me. Well, this isn't an unusual occurrence in my backyard at all. But it did seem kind of strange in light of all the racket I had just been making.

I waved to the dear and said, "Hello". It just stood there gaping at me. So finally yelled at it. "Git! git!" and I waved both of my hands in the air. I'm not sure why I did this as I don't normally chase the deer away. In any case, it just stood there and started at me. So I started walking toward it. I was getting amazingly close to it before it finally turned and gently bounced away in a seemingly unalarmed manner.

All I could think about is that deer season is nearly upon us, and that shooting one of these docile creatures could hardly be thought of as a challenging sport. Hell, you can hard scare them away on purpose. Deer hunting is almost like teddy bear hunting is it not?

I'm not saying that I'm against it entirely. But it just seems like a pretty pathetic "sport". And those who claim that it's the food their after usually pay a lot more for their rifle than the deer meat is worth. The "wildlife management" is hardly justified either since hunters usually shoot the biggest and the best leaving the scrawny runts to carry on the species. Hardly a good approach to management for wildlife.

Oh well, I'm sure I'll get a lot of static for this post, but I only posted it for the sake of my deer friends. I'm not really concerned with what the deer murders might think.

It's sad knowing that they will be shot at in their own habitat for having done nothing more than merely trying to coexist peacefully with humans.
