RE: what do you do after a long day at work?

Try to forget it.....with a little help of course.

RE: Please help me understand what I did wrong !

I totally agree! I don't understand why people enter relationships with the anticipation of changing them. If you're not happy with what's happening at the beginning of the relationship, then you shouldn't enter a relationship with that person.

RE: being nice does not work

Let me know when you will be in and maybe we can meet up. Would love to meet you in person....I've chatted with you on here for so long.

RE: being nice does not work

Here's my theory: We are all in the wrong places so we can't hook up with who we are supposed to hook up with. The love of my life probably lives in Egypt or something. Now....everybody just start moving about and maybe eventually some of us can meet up with the right one.

RE: being nice does not work

It's good to see you, too.....and I like your new picture.

RE: being nice does not work

Scout, what I mean by this is that when our hormones are on full blast, it tends to cloud our judgment and we do things that we might not would do if our thoughts were clear. Also known as thinking with the wrong head.

RE: being nice does not work

That will get you into trouble every time!

RE: being nice does not work

I like this...well put, especially the part about being alone not being a bad thing.

RE: WHAT IS YOUR WISH FOR CHRISTMAS

I got my wish! I got a job! I start this week. That was all I wanted. I'll spend Christmas Eve on the job and Christmas Day probably with the animals. I'll be happy, though.

Merry Christmas to everyone!

RE: Talking about work when not at work.

Love your new picture, Ginger!

RE: What are you doing

Holding down my couch....keeps trying to fly away.

RE: going nowhere fast

Yes, I have. This happened to me every time I was around him. He dominated the conversation and acted as though nothing I said was important. He talked over me when I did try to slide in a word.

I finally told him to "SHUT UP"!!! Then, as I was about to talk, he interrupted me yet again.....so I repeated myself even louder and then told him like it was.

Granted, your dude might have been nervous, but I consider it to be very rude. I'd say you did well not to lose your temper and end the phone call.

RE: unemployement

I graduate from college in the middle of December. I'm getting my resume together Monday. I'm hitting the payment and I will have a job in a couple of weeks!

Now, here's the thing.....I did not say I'd have a job doing what I wanted, or in the field that my degree is in, but I will get a job.

I checked the website the other night and there are several jobs available. Are they wonderful jobs?.....NO! But, they are jobs and I will apply for them.

Question number 2: Will they pay my bills?.....NO! Doesn't matter....it will get me out there in the work force and exposed. It will be bringing in some type of income....if nothing else, for food.

My attitude was totally different back in the summer. I was only going to get a job in the field in which I was obtaining my degree. My attitude has changed now...I'm realistic and the chances of this happening are slim. SO, I will get a job in a grocery store.....any where....as long as it is a legitimate job and I will do the best I can at it until something better comes a long.

I can't show anybody what I'm capable of sitting at home on my couch. People have to see me in action. It's like a stepping stone. I can do anything that I want to do if I put my mind to it.

I'm not above hard physical work or sitting behind a desk answering phones....I can do it all if someone is willing to take the time to tell me what they want.

My previous job history is broad and I've had experience doing all kinds of things. You have got to get out there and show people who you are and what you're made of.

In the past, I've went to some places and found out they needed help and offered to volunteer for the day just so they could see me work.

Do what you've gotta do. Keep your mind open. You may find yourself in a less than desirable job, but if you do your best someone will see your effort and capabilities and another position may become available for you.

Have some faith....get out there! Show your stuff!

RE: I'm Baack!!!

Good to see a familiar face back in the forums. I've been seeing some of the older members a lot more here lately....good to see.

I just want to say......

I agree with you. I've seen several people get addicted. I honestly hate to take them. But, after suffering so bad for over a week, they were a great relief from the pain. I was also sick last night for a long time.

I won't take them any longer than I have to.....can guarantee that, but it is so nice to not be in severe pain for a change.......and to be able to lie in a different position for a change and get some sleep.

I just want to say......

If that was meant for me......that was soooooooo sweet! Thank you and I'm glad you are a friend of mine, as well.

RE: would you 'sacrifice' your pet for your lover?

NO.....this person and me would not even reach the point of having this problem. That's an understanding with me when you meet me.....my animals are part of the family. They'll be here before you came and they'll be here after you go.

RE: Self-acceptance

It's the only way I know how to survive. I discovered early in my adult life that things would not stay the same. I could either change with it and make the best of the situation or let it get me down.

In 3 weeks I will be graduating college and I have no job. It's a little scary, yet I know things will work out. I just have to hit the ground running.

RE: Self-acceptance

I wuv myself. BUT, there is something internal that drives me to better myself at all times. My life is forever changing and I am forever going with the flow trying to adjust or make things better for that time. I like me as a person, I accept who I am. I don't look back with regrets. Each thing that has happened has made me the person I am today and I will keep going with the flow to adjust and change for the person I will be in the future.

RE: Top 10 Things You Probably Shouldnt Do.

I'm sorry to say that she'll never forget it.

RE: Top 10 Things You Probably Shouldnt Do.

I think a lot of people are probably guilty of #4. You never ask a woman if she is pregnant, regardless of how big she is, unless she has a shirt on that says "BABY" and an arrow pointing down. You wait for her to mention it first.

I just want to say......

.....more chocolate......

I just want to say......

Yes, I understand you....bless them, bless them......I feel soooooo much better and in a much better mood. Don't want to even try to imagine having a tooth abcess.....I'm finally able to breath and move from the whole rib thing again.

I just want to say......

THANK YOU FOR PAIN KILLERS!!!!

I've been in severe pain for the last week with my ribs and I finally have some relief!

What are you thankful for? .......it is close to Thanksgiving.....

RE: When will they realise I am an adult?

My parents and siblings freaked when I told them I was leaving the state and going to the other side of the U.S. for a week. I told them to hush and give me a ride to the airport......and feed the horses and dogs while I was gone.

I know and understand what you are saying. My family is very possessive as well. They are learning that I don't care what they say and I'll do what I want. In fact, if they harp too much I can get really loud...so they tend to shut up and let me alone.

Pick up the phone and call them from time to time to say hi and that you are okay. That way they can't say that you moved and cut off ALL communication with them. Eventually they may come around and may even seek to come visit with you to get away from their cold environment.

The hardest thing for some families to accept is that you're all grown up and can take care of yourself.

RE: How close do you regard the friends you make here on CS?

I have high regards for my friends here on CS....some I've met in person, others I've spoken on the phone or emailed with. There are a lot of really good people on here.

RE: In My Lifetime...

Then the cordless!......Wooooo!

RE: In My Lifetime...

I remember when we could only get two channels on TV and you had to get up to change them....and they were fuzzy.

Cable.....opened up a whole new world.....then computers and the internet. I try to explain this to my son and he just turns his head and stares at me funny.

RE: This Christmas...what AREN'T you going to wish for??

Did you know that they are already putting the trees up in public. Wal Mart already has its up. What a bummer! They are taking all the spirit out of Christmas by commercializing it so much.

I don't care about any presents....just don't take all the excitement out of it public! Don't play crappy Christmas songs either. Play the good ones. That's all I need to get into the Christmas spirit.

RE: women fall in love through theire ears, not their hearts ,,

I fall out of love, so to speak, with my ears.....all that
