RE: HONEST QUESTION.....

at least the machine doesn't stink............. And we didn't even have pets to blame it on. I won't lie, though, I usually blamed mine on him, because he was asleep and didn't know different anyway. LOL

RE: HONEST QUESTION.....

Doesn't know where the phone is.....sorry

RE: HONEST QUESTION.....

Personally, I didn't start as as happy to be alone. It came about as I didn't have any other choice and I adapted. It does get lonely and frustrating sometimes, but (for me) many of the benefits outweigh that. Keep in mind, that these are things I was dealing with in my last relationship, so everyone is different.

I can go where I want, when I want, without having to check in with anyone.

I can do what I want, when I want, how I want without having to consider someone else's feelings.

I'm not required to cook his meals, wash his dirty underwear, or pick up after him.

I don't have to listen to him snore or fart in the bed, nor do I have to share my blankies.

I don't have to justify my actions from 5 years ago (before I ever met him).

I don't have to justify what I said or did presently to anyone either.

I don't have to wake up terrified for my family because the phone's ringing at 4 am, only to hear some *itch ask for my husband.

I don't wake up in the middle of the night notice the phone is not on the base and find him in the backyard, trying to hide behind a tree, and hearing the phone beep when he disconnects it only to find it's in his pocket and he's still lying saying he doesn't know where he is.

I don't have to worry about where he went, because I know it doesn't take 3 hours to go one block to get cigarettes.

I don' t have to hide money in a picture frame.

I can rest because I'm not worried about what him leaving and taking my money in the middle of the night while I'm asleep.

I know that not all men are like this, but he was. When looking back at those things I had to deal with, I would rather be lonely occasionally than ever go through that he!! again.

RE: HONEST QUESTION.....

*Gets soap.............I'm trying, but it's hard when I'm suffering though a "drought".

RE: HONEST QUESTION.....

back and forth, in and out...........

RE: HONEST QUESTION.....

I have to agree with Stef on this one!! Nearing Panic Mode just hearing that four-letter word!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Just Kidding)

Seriously, I am terrified, but that's probably because I just got out of a very unhealthy, abusive relationship.

I know that in time, as the pain lessens so will the fear and I won't be afraid of falling in love. Additionally, if I happen to meet the someone during this healing period, he will wait for me and he will respect my need for time to heal.

Additionally, when you fall in love, it usually occurs before you have time to even take your fears into consideration.

RE: MORNING,PEOPLE

Morning here, but I just finished work also...lol

Other than my brain trying to shut down, I am fine.

Good morning to everyone, and I hope you have a good day while I reboot my brain cells!!!

RE: MOVIES THAT WERE BOOKS,

Just my opinion, but I think it's for a few reasons..

Time constraints.... they have to leave out many details that are in the book, which doesn't really make the movie as interesting.

Personally, I can comprehend more details if I read it myself rather than watch it or have it read to me.

And, I think that although special effects are good, there are some things that Hollywood just can't create realistically, so they leave it out. Yet, reading the book, your mind can visualize it better than Steven Speilberg could ever create it.

RE: IceKrystals coffee shop and advice corner.......come on in.

I knew I read she was in school, so that's cool.

I was kind of thinking the same thing about the other date when he first called with that excsue.

You're right about him being careless and insensitive. Just needed a little confirmation.

I'm going to behave like a lady, and not call and curse like a sailor (although, I do believe it would make me feel better ). Guess I just needed to vent and have someone say, "Don't call just let him think he got the last word."

Thanks for the support I needed to control my mouth. LOL

RE: WHO LIKES TO PLAY IN THE RAIN??????????????

I just can't stand for my feet to get wet. If I step in water, I'll change my socks everytime. Otherwise, I walk like a cat does when you put tape on the bottom of their feet LOL.

RE: Fishing

Funny you two!!

RE: I just inherited a flower shop.

Thank you for the flowers gentlepaws!!!

RE: THIS IS NO LONGER FUNNY

Now I'm confused and wonder if we've been insulted by someone, and I just wasn't bright enough to catch it...........LOL

RE: THIS IS NO LONGER FUNNY

I love reading anything that KnittinKitte posts.

I feel the same way. I go to work, and when I come home the first thing I wanna do is check the posts to see what's going on. They are very entertaining!!!

RE: Fishing

RE: Fishing

I've never cleaned one, or took it off the hook for that matter. I am still a girl after all!!!! I will bait my own hook, though.

I watched my dad (ONCE) , and he'd nail em to a tree and pull the skin back with wire pliers.

RE: Players!!!

Yes, karma does come back to get em. My father messed around on my mother for 8 or 10 yrs before she left, then on my stepmom for 17 1/2 yrs before she left. My mom walked with nothing, just wanted out. My stepmom got the house while separated, not to mention the lovely little nest egg of 75,000 she hid before the divorce and was never accounted for. It tore him up, but it's what he deserved!!!

RE: Fishing

I do too...............especially at night, right below the dam within feet of the turbines, because that's where the big ones hide LOL

RE: KATERINA HURRICANE - SCANDALOUS INSURANCE REFUNDS !! IT'S REALLY HAPPENED ???

Most homeowner's insurance policies don't cover "Natural Acts" either. It's just a money racket. The mortgage company requires you to have it in order to get a mortgage.

What really upsets me, is that these people have worked hard all their lives to get what they've got. Now, they have a mortgage for a house they can't live in, and the homeowner's policy won't pay on it. Here are about the only two options they have left: continue to pay that mortgage payment for the next 10 to 30 years, while also paying for a place they can actually live in, or file bankruptcy and ruin their credit for something that wasn't their fault.

Society has became all about the big businesses, and consumers have very few rights anymore! (Probably because we don't have millions of dollars to spend to lobby and get the laws changed in our favor) JMO

RE: Players!!!

You just gotta look for some clues, the first one I can think of is....

That their cell phone NEVER rings when you're around them, but you call, and many times you don't get an answer, (odds are they either turned it off, or put it on silence.).

They are good, and hard to spot. Unfortunately, sometimes you have to adapt that mentality in order to spot one.

RE: Women are.....

They're also like tornadoes..........scream like heck when they're coming and try to take your house when they're leaving.

RE: does anyone listen to vaired artists with apreciation for all?
