I can handle reptiles (had a pet savannah monitor years ago), rodents (gizmo was my pet rat 'til he keeled over), and just about most creatures without a problem!!
Way to go girlfriend! I've been away for a while and am just catching up. It's not about standing your ground, it's about doing the right thing by your man!
I probably would have taken them to the local hospital or something rather than throwing them out, but I would not have kept them. Would have been a bit freaky anyways!
Hey Taz, I'm sorry you're having such a run of bad luck!! Um, I guess things can't get much worse, so that might be the brighter side to look for!!
I had a really rough three years in my life when I wasn't sure if the sun would ever shine on me again...today, I'm stronger for those struggles and that damn sun is coming out whether it wants to or not!!
I learned to laugh, albeit with clenched teeth, at the things I couldn't change and to deal with the things that I could...I sometimes wonder if I'm a little too laid back these days when there isn't much that gets me riled anymore!!
When I have been in a relationship, other men have never interested me in that way. If a guy is flirting with me or hitting on me knowing that I'm attached, it's a turnoff. If he didn't know, I would accept it as a compliment and let it go.
I suppose that if I had those kinds of thoughts, it would make me question what was lacking in my relationship to make it even possible for someone to have that affect on me.
Yay for you!! This time is all about you, so forget all else and focus on you and resisting the urge...that's amazing that you've made it 6 days...way to go!!!
Zyban is an anti-depressant and shouldn't make you depressed unless you're having an adverse reaction. Maybe you should call your pharmacist and see if that's a side-effect for some people.
But the withdrawal symptoms may be causing some of your mood swings....so chin up and keep going girlfriend!! You're doing awesome!! Eventually the mood swings will ease up!! Took me two weeks the last time I quit!
I have a number of friends who went to Jenny Craig and were successful at losing weight, but all of them regained it within two years.
I read a review of a study a few months ago, where 100 women were followed over a 5 year period. The programs they tried varied from the Jenny Craig to LA Weightloss to Weightwatchers to doing it on their own.
The ones most likely to succeed long term were the ones on weightwatchers...and it's also the least expensive of all the ones out there. The success rate was huge compared to the others...probably because you have to learn to prepare your own food and change the amount and way you eat.
How far away will he be moving and will you be able to travel there? Does he have a problem with you visiting his new place? The answers to those questions will answer the married question!
No, you're not nuts...if you're like me, you don't give your intuition enough credit and then you kick yourself afterwards for not listening to that little voice!! LOL
My advice to you...take one day at a time...and count each day as a blessing that you managed to get through without a cigarette!! Tons of luck to you!
I didn't use Zyban the last time I quit, but I did on my attempt before that and it didn't curb the cravings for me, but cigarettes tasted horrible which helped me to cut down. My doctor is of the opinion that you have to stay on it for 6 months to really properly assess whether it worked for you. At the time that I tried it, the thinking was only 3 months...some food for thought!
I found that I didn't gain any weight when I tried to quit with Zyban, but gained 10 lbs when going freestyle in December. That weight has come off now though, so it was just a temporary gain.
And that's my experience in a nutshell. I didn't last though...so today it's a new day and we're going smoke free again!
Support that is very helpful is also available online. If you'd like the website info, just drop me an email!
"But I have been seriously burned by me ex and have trust issues... any ideas on that lol". ..
Hmmm....don't we all in some way? LOL
I work really hard at looking at each person I meet as someone completely new who isn't necessarily going to be like the ex! He may very well be right for you ... maybe distance will help to decide for you!
Personally I wouldn't just write him off ... unless it's going to drive me crazy wondering what he's 'up to'... in which case it's probably best to walk away in the interest of sanity!! LOL
The ones that treat us like gold and understand our commitment to our children are hard to come by ... at least in reality ... I'm still looking for the one that lives by it!! LOL
I seem to be experiencing an emotional connection to this problem of yours!!!
I understand! For me, it seems that in the past, everytime I met someone that is a 'feel good', there's been so much other stuff going on in my life or his that it became hard to sustain without a tremendous amount of work. That's a lot of 'investment' in something that's so new, but it really depends on how strongly you feel about the longer term proscpects for a relationship developing.
I feel for you...I think that I've let some good ones go because of the 'other stuff' ... no regrets 'cause timing wasn't right and they were so new that one couldn't know, but I sometimes wonder what could have been!!
I can handle a long distance relationship, but many can't and I understand because it is hard and both people have to be really committed to it...maybe you could just let it play itself out and see if you can make it work!
It's such a small world and yet there are so many miles between us!
Is there no way for you two to get together once in a while to stoke the fire?
If I 'really' connected with someone, I'd do the long distance thing and wait it out if it was only going to be a short term thing - those great connections are hard to come by. But that's just me and my two cents!!
Hey Jay. I hadn't really thought about this before, maybe because I haven't been presented with the opportunity to date someone with a disability.
I hope that if that came my way and I liked his personality, I would jump into it without a second thought. I think it would totally depend on that person's outlook toward their disability, whatever it may be...if he's happy and positive about it, it would probably rub off on me and would make me look past it...
