The best advice I can give you about this site is have fun, make friends. You never know what will come after friends, but that is the most important part.
Relax and don't try to hard. Just join in when you see a thread that interests you and soon you will have friends. When you find the right person it will be a mutual find, because you weren't looking for it. You each will know when it happens. The CS community has turned out to be a fun, funny, careing and love group of people to me. I am sure you will find them to be the same way.
I wish you all the luck and most importantly.....HAVE FUN.
sorry everyone but I must retire early tonight. Princess I will see you tomorrow. Don't get to drunk and please don't walk home. Remember those motorcycles lined up outside.
My heart goes out to you. This is a sticky situation, but I think you should go. Your step daughter asked you to give her away, that is a once in a life time thing.
Her mother will still go to the wedding. She won't want to miss it. She is more than likely just trying to make you decide not to go. I would let the daughter know, just in case though.
When the boys really got going calling Mommy, I would tell them I changed my name and couldn't answer them until they figured out what the new name was. It would work for about an hour or so then they drove me nutts with the many names they came up with. Until I would give in and tell I changed my name back to mom.
When my boys were younger they watched the "Simpsons" a morronic cartoon here in the US. Well, Bart and Lisa the little kids in the show followed their Dad "Homer" around for a couple of days repeating. "Canwegetaswimmingpool?Canwegetaswimmingpool?Canwegetaswimmingpool?Canwegetaswimmingpool?"
I didn't realize Ireland was another planet. I guess that explains alot about my heritage. You know the saying there are only two kinds of people on earth. Those who are Irish and those who wish they were.
I have the sweetest beastie monster of a mutt, but the neighbors are scared to death of Tippy. They would probably not be if they saw my 4 year old nephew riding on his back.
When they‘re watching TV, pull a lawn chair behind their window. Sit down with popcorn and a drink and ask them if they could open a window so you can hear too.
Build snowmen with name tags of your neighbors. Each day hack off a different part of their body.
Use your TV remote to change the channels on their TV from outside. If asked why, say you protest such programs. (The more educational the program the better.)
Dig shallow graves at night filling your yard with brown grave patches. Make markers out of household appliances.
Ask them if you can put your trash in their cans, if they ask why say, "Mine are full of bodies", then stutter and say, "I uh mean other garbage." walk away laughing hysterically.
Stand over the plants in your yard with a hose and Scream, "I have your life in my hands, bow down to me!". Then point at each one and declare them good or bad plants, while watering the bad ones.
I keep telling everyone that very thing when they complain about the gas {petrol} prices. My heart goes out to all of you on the other side of the pond.
Fear not we will be at the same level or real close before long.
