Poll Question: What gives u that warm fuzzy feeling?? Poller: jodestir
A hug from your kid(s) Rain on the roof when you're snug in bed A warm smile from a complete stranger A blue sky & a blazing sun on a weekend A long, deep kiss straight out of the blue A soppy love song on the radio A sad movie with a happy ending Good friends and a glass or three Your life. You could hug it if you could. Waking up in the morning. Each day is a bonus
All of the above along with my soulmate, a really good day at work, watching a sunrise or sunset. a compliment
I raised 5 children by myself. There were times I had to be strict with them (especially having 4 girls). However, it took a lot of love, a lot of patience, some discipline, a lot of hugs and tears, a sense of humor and a whole lot of laughter, a whole lot of praying and late night talks, and a lot of my time to raise my kids. However, it paid off. They are now responsible young adults with families of their own.
Respect is a two way street. I am glad I had my kids when I did. And yes I believe that nowadays parents aren't allowed to be parents because that has been taken away by society in general.

Jan. 18: Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, speaks after accepting delivery of signed petitions demanding the repeal of 'ObamaCare' in Washington. PENSACOLA, Fla. -- Six more states joined a lawsuit in Florida against President Obama's health care overhaul on Tuesday, meaning more than half of the country is challenging the law.
The announcement was made as House members in Washington, led by Republicans, debated whether to repeal the law.
The six additional states joined Florida and 19 others in the legal action, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi said.
"It sends a strong message that more than half of the states consider the health care law unconstitutional and are willing to fight it in court," she said in a statement.
The states claim the health care law is unconstitutional and violates people's rights by forcing them to buy health insurance by 2014 or face penalties.
Government attorneys have said the states do not have standing to challenge the law and want the case dismissed.
Lawsuits have been filed elsewhere. A federal judge in Virginia ruled in December that the insurance-purchase mandate was unconstitutional, though two other federal judges have upheld the requirement. It's expected the Supreme Court will ultimately have to resolve the issue.
"It is important to note that two of the three courts that have reviewed this law on the merits have found it constitutional, and those decisions --as well as two others the government prevailed on -- are pending in courts of appeal. At the same time, trial courts in additional cases have dismissed numerous challenges on jurisdictional and other grounds that have not been appealed," Justice Department spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler said.
Meanwhile, the White House dismissed an expected vote on repealing the law, saying the Republicans' push was not a serious legislative effort. Democrats have a majority in the Senate and they have said they will block repeal in that chamber.
In the Florida case, the states also argue the federal government is violating the Constitution by forcing a mandate on the states without providing money to pay for it. They say the new law gives the state's the impossible choice of accepting the new costs or forfeiting federal Medicaid funding.
Florida U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson could rule later this month whether he will grant a summary judgment in favor of the states or the Obama administration without a trial.
Florida's former Republican Attorney General Bill McCollum filed the lawsuit just minutes after President Obama signed the 10-year, $938 billion health care bill into law in March. He chose a court in Pensacola, one of Florida's most conservative cities. The nation's most influential small business lobby, the National Federation of Independent Business, also joined the suit.
Joining the coalition in the Florida case were: Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Ohio, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
The other states that are suing are Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah and Washington.

paolac4u: Do u have to look a certain way for some of these men who are not at all attractive to even say hello?
I view a lot of profiles but based on my experience with onlkine dating, I rarely say hello anymore because my confidence has dropped due to the amount of times I get ignored or told i'm not someones 'type.'
From my point of view I look at the profile of someone I would like to say hello to, but rarely have the confidence these days to do so.
I know I'm not a good looking guy, but I am worth talking to and getting to know.
paolac4u: Do u have to look a certain way for some of these men who are not at all attractive to even say hello? I think online dating creates an unreal and unrealistic situation. It is very, very superficial and shallow. It is, imo, no the place to meet someone for a serious relationship. You are much better off meeting people in real life, getting out there and doing things, socializing, etc.
I met someone very special on here (CS). Our one year anniversary is coming up in a couple of weeks (Feb. 7). We talk all the time on the phone, via email, etc.
CS could be a stepping stone to meeting people in real life.
