adopted dogs don't come cheap. i spent $500.00 on mine, shipped 1000 miles from rescue. the lowest cost is around $200.00, not chump change. adopted dogs are bought dogs.
it's true, this place does help. my suggestion is, do little things. wash a few dishes, do a small load of laundry. when things seem overwhelming, little things like that take a bit off of your plate. try not to dwell on things. for me, certain songs trigger unpleasant memories. recognize triggers and stay away. i think of my bouts of depression as storms. the storm always ends. hope this helps.
don't say "i love you" or mention having children with them too soon. don't believe them when they say "i love you" or if they want you to be the mother of their children, too soon.
very true. the thing about ldr's is that one gets sucked into the love and romance of it all without the day to day challenges. there is an awakening upon meeting in person. it adds a whole new dimension
i don't want to be a downer, but, you can't really know someone until you meet in person. i speak from experience. in my case, my fella hid a severe alcohol addiction. regardless, good luck :)
jrob, you can write. be sure to read the profile to see if they are looking, then, never call them hun, sweetie, gorgeous, and never give your skype address, email or phone number. also, don't be tempted to make a shirtless picture for your profile.
