RE: ann marie from offaly!!

to say it, but if she does ever look at the forums- she might not like being discussed like this. I'd leave it to her at this point, but i hope she gets in touch

RE: Senator David Norris for President!

I voted for him on the 'other face'. But i say, why President?? why not Taeshoic( I have to read that nearly evey day in ?? I ask clients, but can i spell it?? lol) and at least, if he was as bad as the shower that are there, at least he would be entertaining with it!!

RE: bada bing

ah good luck

RE: Many Rude men here?

Yes I'd say that's true. But it's not that often, so just ignore them ! welcome

RE: should they have kids?

RE: re my pic!!!!!!!!!!!!

you do look a bit cross in it

RE: should they have kids?

RE: why the more u do for a girl the less tanks u get?

exactly!!- a mans perspective!!! If I had had a man that did everything, the cooking, /the cleaning /the childrearing,/bill paying and work too, would I have sat back and said ....great!! what a life I have?? yes of course i would have. !!
In reality, I know I wouldn't have as it's not in my personality, but i do realise that by doing all those things, we maybe allow those men that aren't real men to do so!

RE: why the more u do for a girl the less tanks u get?

before this turns into a man bashing thread!!.... I have come to know, either from the husbands of friends,or in some way from boyfriends ( obviously they didnt work out as permanent partners but that doesn't mean they were all bad!!) that there are plenty of men who are not like the ones we have obviously experienced-the hunt continues

RE: should they have kids?

no I wouldn't!!( lovely as I'm sure they are :)) but judging on other posts of yours, we are not talking about 'people like you'- I don't know your situation but your posts don't give the impression that you recklessly had children that you couldn't support, so I would hope that you are not offended by the comments that people like myself are saying here.
for myself- i come from what would probably be classed as a middle class background- I am well educated and well qualified- have always worked and still do, but now find myself in a situation where , without my child benefit, probably couldn't pay the mortgage on the house I have worked hard to afford, or give my children the things I want them to have .
I now rely ( I hope short term) on the extra money that the government can give me to survive- the difference between me and some others being that I have EARNED those benefits, until I can get the extra work hours that i want to have, to provide for the children that I chose to have

RE: why the more u do for a girl the less tanks u get?

I know ( hope ) you are joking, sometimes we women are our own worst enemies...... but when i was pregnant i worked 12 and 1/2 hour shifts till 3 days before our first was due and still did ALL that! who was the idiot in that situation??? of sourse I will say it was him but in truth????

now he has a young pg girlfriend that expects him to drive a half hour each way to collect her and drive her to the antenatal visits??
I have never been a 'helpless female' that can't change a tyre etc etc, but in hindsight, when my/our children are the ones that suffer from the actions of just that kind of woman, do I wish I had been different and more of a wagon?? hell yes!!

I believe in relationships partnership- if I'm cooking the dinner, then you take out the bins. If I'm working till 8pm. then you make the dinner for BOTH of us not just yourself.
I like to think that most men are like that too- I have met plenty that are ( just didn't have the sense to marry one of them )

RE: should they have kids?

as I have said in a post after yours- this will only penalise the children , as regardless of how much/little money you give the parents, they will always put themselves first , and it is the children that suffer. the solution is to not give the parents the option as to what they spend the benefits on- it has to be things for the children.

though I see your point that if they know that having more children will not financially benefit them ( as in the 'parents', then they may not choose to bring another child into the world that they dont really want but just see as a meal ticket.

RE: should they have kids?

before you get slammed for that comment i can say that I have personally seen in my job people( that have never worked a day in their lives) tell me- if I have another kid, 'I'll get a better house and more money..'
the childrens allowance is a sticky one, because you shouldn't punish the child for the parents behaviour but I do think that it shouldn't just be cash- as that can be used for anything the parents want, not for the kids which is who it is intended for.

RE: should they have kids?

( if it was OBVIOUS that they were completely incapacitated and unable to take care of their kids)

RE: should they have kids?

I have 'lost' my kids myself, but would know right away if they weren't with me. I admit to letting my kids wander off in tesco while i do my shopping,( saves me a fortune on all the 'extra' i find I have paid for unwittingly otherwise!!) but that is at 9, 11 and 12 years old. When they were 3 , if I couldn't see them for more than a few seconds I would have been freaking out.
If ,at that age, they were even out of my sight, i would have always erred on the side of caution and been that maniac woman running up and down shouting their name. what's a bit of embarrassment at finding they were hiding behind a clothes rack, compared to a Jamie Bulger situation??

RE: Did you ever...?

you mean like ..posting this thread?? nah- can't say I've done that, but I sure as heck have said things that I cringe at in hindsight!! so don't sweat it

RE: Half Price SKY TV

I had a friend do that and she got sky for €10 a month- I tried phoning and cancelled the second room sky ( the box didn't work anyway ) and they said ''ok''!! I was gutted- I'm afraid if \i try it with my main sky, they might say the same and I'll be left with a blank screen!! ( will you phone them for me Keith?? -) )

RE: for the ladies: what infuriates you most about a man

where's the 'everything' option??

RE: One for the boys - women and make-up

I was never one for much make up- but i find these days, i need more concealer than anything else!!

RE: One for the boys - women and make-up

ah- don't worry- I work with a nun- and she is the cutest thing ( no I'm not on the darkside yet ) wears make up, dies her hair and wears trendy clothes!!

not that I think you'll make it to the 352 day mark!!

RE: Male Jealousy..

I have never been jealous- if another girl tried to hit on the guy I was with, I would see it as a compliment as she also found him attractive. That said, if I wasn't confident of their feelings for me at the time, then maybe i would have seen it differently In my experience, men see it not as a compliment but as a threat, and even an insult( he knew I was with you, so why was he flirting with you??) though if they have a jealous personality, then someone even talking to you can be seen as 'flirting'
I once had an ex bf get really annoyed that I was chatting away to a male friend for a while in a bar.....even though we both though ( wrongly) that he was gay!!!

RE: the best decade for music

well, really they were 70's/80's/90's till Freddie died. regardless, they rocked!! Only sorry I never saw them live

RE: the best decade for music

well- I loved the 70's when I was in them , the 80's when i was in them.. you get the picture . for a durty prod I have very catholic musical tastes and have enjoyed( some of) the music of each decade!!. probably the 80's that get me on the dance floor most often, but that may be more nostalgia than great music

JEYSUS- I've bought the creams for wrinkles, sagging skin, broken veins,dryness, greasiness and now I have to go buy something for corrosion too????? what's next?? leaking sump valve?? only j/k kcuc

RE: Did you know Albert Einstein actually believed in God

tell that to the 20 million homeless people in pakistan!!- religious people have an answer for everything- and it changes from moment to moment to suit the question. If there is a god- and people have to suffer unspeakable torture to get to his heaven( ...baby P springs to mind- google it if you are not familiar) then that heaven is not a place i would ever want to be.

i ( as a 'good' person who sees people on this earth as opposed to a possible afterlife as important) would rather suffer the most horrendous hell possible for immortality if it meant a baby like him would not go through the torture he did-
surely a good religious person would forgo heaven in order to allow that?? or is being with your god more important than not allowing an innocent to be burned, bitten and tortured to death??
