I miss going outside and playing all day long with all the neighborhood kids. We were all over the neighborhood, had forts built everywhere, including near the railroad tracks and all these cool hiding places. And you never ran out of fun things to do. My mom would have to come find us to even get us in to eat dinner.
Nice thread Nathan, thanks. Brought back a lot of happy memories.
My sister suffers from severe arthritis, and I can relate to how you feel. She is only 45 and sometimes cannot use her hands at all because they are so swollen and sore. But when she gets her infusion, she gets almost 3 weeks of relief, which I'm very grateful for.
I personally feel like "long term relationship" should only apply to what you are looking for, not what you had. The term implies to me that you are looking for some higher level of commitment from a partner, not just casual dating or a romp in the sack.
And I too believe the term is used incorrectly by a lot of people out there and therefore can be quite misleading.
I would do the things around the house that I already planned on doing, and then at night, would be on messenger or my cellphone keeping up with my peeps.
Awwww, that's so cool. It's so nice when one of us gets to meet another CSer. Makes everyone realize we are real and do exist outside this box. Have fun.
Well TomGirl, I guess that would depend on if I wanted them to see the real me or if I was having fun pretending to be someone else on the other site. Which would mean I wasn't serious about the person anyhow, so why invite them.
Wow, she knows the game. He better get in it quick. No telling how much damage she has already done. Make sure he isn't paying any bill that is not court ordered too. Again, not a time to be nice.
I THINK that by this time, you're opportunity for setting morals, ethics, and boundaries has passed. Even "I told you so" isn't accurate, because obviously you did not communicate this clearly enough when you needed to, in their elementary years.
Depending on their age, your only solutions are going to come from outside the home. Counciling, incarsaration, accountability on their part. And you have to actively play a role in any actions from here on out. You have to be there for every meeting, every court date, everything. Show your child that he/she has not been abandoned by you. That can lead to even more trouble. Make sure they know what is happening and why. And that you are going to be there to make sure it doesn't happen again. COMMUNITCATE with your child on all levels of their lives.
RE: CS member scavenger hunt
ummm, ok I have, but only once or twice. Was really tricky when it was my Mom...who has a tattoo on their butt?
