- Total acceptance of the other person, even embracing nearly all of their flaws and tolerating the rest. You actually revel in your partner’s preferences and quirks, finding them endearing, not annoying. - Mutual trust, admiration and respect. - Sharing of feelings, ideas, experiences, goals, desires and moral compass. - An “electricity” to your affection for each other and great chemistry, both physical and emotional. - Wanting to know what makes your partner happy, what makes him/her laugh and caring about what his/her opinion is. You truly care about this person. - A feeling that while there may be others in the room or others who are interested in you, they disappear because your partner is the only one who matters to you. - The desire to help and lend support to your lover in good times and bad as a partner, listener and sounding board, not as his/her rescuer, judge or parent. - A willingness to make time for and put him/her to the front of your life priorities. - Being able to disagree without being disagreeable or hurtful and to “fight fairly,” (including compromising where necessary) without losing respect for your partner or yourself. - Thinking of your future only with your partner as part of it. Most of all, with love, you two think about each other all the time. Little things you see each day remind you of your partner. You truly cherish the times when you are together. When you are apart, you think about the next time you’ll get to talk with each other or be together once more. And when at last you see each other again, it is as if you are finally arriving at your emotional home – that place of comfort, peace and serenity that is where you are meant to be and want to remain always.
There was a mother who was shopping in one of our Meijer stores here in Lansing who called the police cause she claimed her baby had been stolen from her grocery cart. The Lansing Police and others searched the store,parking lot etc.
Acouple days or so the Lansing Police found the body of an infant baby still dressed in his snowsuit in the Cedar River down by Potters Park.
The mother was arrested and her father hired an attorney. Her father claimed his daughter had a mental problem and didn't know what she was doing.
This eats at my heart too. I can't imagine what those parents of the baby nor what the parents of the teenager must be going through and what they're going to continue to go through.
I read/hear about alot of this stuff in the news and it makes me wonder what goes on in peoples minds when they do stuff like this.
I don't know why anyone would bother to respond to any of Eurogiglo's threads.
It's obvious he's only looking for the attention and he'll keep up until he gets tired and leave the site or when he gets turned in and the mods deal with him.
Now I know why we never left my sons with a sitter.
We never went anywhere we couldn't take our sons with us.
I just googled for the story and read where the Lee County Sheriff's Dept arrested & booked only one of the teens involved & placed him in the RYDC, a Juvenille Detention Center.He was charged with 1st-degree cruelty to children & 3rd-degree cruelty to children.
There was also another juvenille involved who ran the camera who wsn't arrested.
I have had a few occasions recently that I have heard people blame their life’s problems on other people. They can’t do this or that because of another person, what they did, or what they are going to do. They use everything as an excuse.
Many people I know hold on to bitterness gained in their childhood. They blame their parents for everything that has happened in their lives. But really once you are an adult, you can make your own choices. No one is holding you to the behaviors of your parents anymore. I hate it when people excuse their behavior with comments like “I was raised this way” or “I was abused therefore I’m different and allowed to behave badly”.
I know a now 41 year old man who struggles financially, and personally. He blames the state of his finances on his parents. He is forever whining with Poor ME! Why you might ask? His reply is “They never taught me how to manage money”. This man didn’t have the best parents in the world, but he had everything given to him. He had nice clothes, a nice home, cars bought for him. Yet he still blames his parents for his failings in life? How could that be I wonder? His sisters who grew up in the same household all manage their money and do well financially.
I know another set of siblings who are given every single opportunity in life and more and they keep failing at everything. One of them uses the excuse that she was sick as a child, and cant cope with life. The other, Im not exactly sure what his problem is, but he blames his dad anyway. These people are now in their late 40's and can’t hold jobs, can’t hold partners, and can’t deal with their own lives. How sad is that?
There is a time to deal with it and grow up. Yes, things might not have gone the very best way in their lives in the past, but sometimes I wonder if they're going to let that affect the now and the future. I sit back and wonder if they're going to let “them” whoever they may be, put them in a place where it ruins their entire life.
We do get to choose. We can choose to be happy. We can choose to get out of the cycle, rut, stagnation of our lives and do better. Attitude is a big part of it. Making conscious positive choices rather than allowing the wave of life wash over us is another.
In the end, the only person we have to blame or congratulate for our lives are ourselves.
If he is so tired he can't remember how many states there are , just how the heck is he going to be able to run the country? I mean, his stumping around all 57 ... er, or was that 60? ... states is not even on the scale of work he will have to do as president. The real fallacy of this faux pas is that he never even caught it!
God help us all; we are surrounded by incompetence!

You're the one who was making fun of the people on that truck not me.
RE: What good thing happened during your day?
When I took some children in my neighborhood shopping today for school clothes who wouldn't have had them otherwise.
