I'll admit, I'm guilty of being gone for several months... even after getting notice of the special forum on this site. On the other hand, I'm certain that my profile is set up so I am notified if I get anything here, but I can double-check that.
Guess it's time to crack the knuckles and start doing something again on here... Especially since there's an Oregon Forum here now. Who knew we were so special?
There is a way to keep both ends of this concern out of a place of worry in your mind. The advice to let her choose her own path is a wonderful idea.
But this is where I voice my opinion... if my opinion means anything, never, I repeat NEVER neglect the attention you have in her decision, especially at this age.
Unlike most teens these days, chances are she's still at an age where she can appreciate any sort of attention from Mom. Ask her how the cheering went from time to time, when you feel you should. If she wants to demonstrate a few moves, be interested in what she does. If someone gives her a hard time be the squad or anything else, be there to help brighten the day.
I'm probably stating the obvious, but that's the way I see it. If she's fine, then you should be fine, and therefore shouldn't worry about the age difference so much.
But whenever it's a beverage, a rarity I prefer is a good 'Strawberry Julius,' as we call it in my house. Not sure of the exact recipe, since I don't make it, but I know that it involves blending ice and frozen strawberries...
Well, that's how I think it is, or at least should be... but I don't exactly want to see that one in a literal sense! *shudders at the thought of staring eyes from the chest*
Anyways, despite what I think and all jokes aside, it seems to be more common these days than is necessary. If it didn't involve hurting them, I'd give a swift kick to the guys who can only go as far as skin-deep to think they're in love.
I'm really tossing my hat in the air for this one, aren't I? Never saw myself coming into one of these things myself, to be honest... but here we go anyways.
Oh, I can laugh at myself, alright... just feel really dumb when it happens sometimes. I still remember the time I didn't notice the search bar.
And okay, I'll admit it, every now and then I feel lonely. There. I generally find myself at a loss of words when talking on the subject of girls (anyone here remember my phrase "Check please?") but recently I have found a program in my area to go in to meet others around my age and I still have a hard time getting to know the other people in it.
Argh, someone find me a hitman, because apparently cupid keeps trying to shoot me...
No, I really am. I have a really hard time getting things out of myself and I can't figure out why that is. A shy nature is one thing, but when trying to make a first impression, I'm absolutely HORRIBLE at 'chit-chat' unless it's a topic I can grasp a hold of, and when I do, I feel like I'm still not talking, or tend to ramble a bit about that one particular topic way too much.
Some of you know my 'intelligent' side, and others my playful version. I could say I'm a wise guy, but that doesn't sound right...
But that's besides the point. I'm really trying to be active on here and in public, but I don't get half of the jokes apparently and I have made myself look like an idiot before, which I imagine is something I really should try to care less about... especially since the moments I am 'playful' I can be -really- goofy about. I suppose I could reserve my professional thoughts for those times when they're really needed as I have before, but...
What can I do? Must be having another "sigh" moment.
I don't know if these count, since I'm not sure what kind of affirmations you want, but I'll give it a shot...
An old phrase comes to mind: "No matter where you go (or what you do) there you are!"
And one I like to think about: "We have the Power to make Peace... with the Power to Destroy." Deny it if you want, this is absolutely true, especially when you consider the fact that 'destroying' something doesn't always mean with violence or malice!
Hey! I'm not a wolfdog--oh, wait... wrong hybrid. Whoopsie.
Anyways, from what I read, they're not dangerous as Windy said... but in addition to their intelligence, you still do need to give them lots of attention while raising them. You also by any means should NOT hit them if you need to discipline their actions.
Still, this isn't my expertise. I'm just going off of what I hear about them.
I have no particular order, but I tend to have a glass of milk some time in the day. If the occasion allows (like pizza or food that it works best with) I'll have some root beer or orange pop. Every now and then I have some apple cider or hot chocolate... But mostly I just drink water.
Though I enjoy the pop more than water, I'll admit... but best save it for those occasions so it lasts longer and don't have to buy more all the time.
...Did I miss something here? I'm absolutely clueless to what's being said...
Anyways, welcome Voltri. At least you have the guts to start a thread with an official hello, as I don't think I've even done that!
'Course, I wasn't shy coming on here, just thought I had gone completely insane. This was what I thought would be the -last- place I would turn to for meeting people, but I guess I just ran out of ideas then... Oh well, haven't regretted it yet.
A very serious (and curious) question, and I had to show up. However, there is one thing I will state before I make my stand of my religion...
If you strongly feel that your church is correct, so be it. Whether you worship Christ or another name, chances are that you are (hopefully) settling differences with everyone around you, not creating them. The greatest common thing we have among us? We believe in good and evil actions. There is a lot that we have in common, and I'll let you be the judge of that.
Now about my statement... I believe that the Latter-Day Saints church, otherwise commonly referred to as Mormons or LDS, worship the true and living Christ, and that he loves every one of us. By 'us,' I'm referring to every living soul on this planet.
Additionally, we believe there is a true and living prophet with visions and revelations, and that we need it as much now as we did in the history of the Church.
And finally... I know that these are true. There is no ounce of doubt in this mind when I make such a bold statement.
Not really... if you think about it, you involuntarily give yourself rules to live right and not hurt others. Yet people need to be told what to do constantly, which is why countries have laws (I'm referring to those that make sense, such as trespassing and vandalism.)
However, this is why we're told our rules... so if we are put before a judge and jury for anything we've done against the law, we know why the verdict will be "guilty."
While I haven't been here that long, I'll be one of the 'rookies' to say that you have some solid, sage advice... and you do it in a way that fits your name!
While I can't really say that I know you, I can say that I'm proud to have heard your words... and humor when it applies!

The sleeper awakes.Hey, since when did my bed become a coffin? EGAD, I'm a vampire!
Oh, wait, no fangs. Maybe a zombie? Nope. Just someone mistook me for dead. Phew...
