When I joined this place, I was amazed at all the strong, wonderful, fascinating personalities I found in the forums, and a bit intimidated to post, but am glad I did anyway---overcoming fear, was a good thing! : )
I think we are lucky and fortunate to have this type of social medium to express ourselves and should remember, even though we aren't necessarily face to face, it's no reason to forget common decency and human kindness.
And with that note, I'll climb off this soapbox and post this lovely song:
Life changes on the turn of a dime, appreciate what you have and the people you genuinely care about, it's the best we can all do in life.
Have you heard Christmas Shoes??? OMG...you will be bawling your eyes out..and there's a movie that goes with it too, it took my Mom about 3-4 years to find it, it's a real tearjerker!
Glad to see you in the forums...you bring a special magic with you when you're here! so glad!
hahahaha, well, I concur, and if you've been around on certain nights....you've had a quick peek at some very frisky photographs, which I intend on using on the cover of the ladies CS Christmas card list for 2011!
This one won't die because I'm considered in some circles to be the Queen of Crap....and I'll kick this thread till it's a dead horse in the water...we need some positivity and good mojo around this place!
You know it too! MR! like I said, I've got the internet and you're not the only one who speaks that slang stuff, so you just wait, I'll get you my pretty and your lil dog too!
Yeah he's trying to confuse me because I'm blond and there's a bit of a language barrier, but just wait till I get my google Scottish translator, then he's in big trouble....
well if the usual politeness and niceties don't work....maybe try a baseball bat upside the head if all else fails..or a restraining order maybe, but some see those as a person playing hard to get....
and to clarify "someone younger" I don't mean a 15-17 year old girl or BOY, being with someone lets say 15+ years older. It's not only disgusting, it's illegal and pedophilia. That's the part that I really take issue w/ in all of it.
edited response, I'm so tired my eyes are crossing and my proofreading skills are in the toilet tonight, my apologies.

Once a child becomes of age, the parent has little to no say in any choices they make, all we can do is love our kids and TRY to put them on the right path to be happy, healthy, productive stewards of this world..JMHO.
I don't know because I only have daughters and can only relate my experiences to them. But beings you set the age at 20 J, I'd probably not like it, but he would be of legal age and there wouldn't be much I could do about it.
I know it's a case of double standard, but as long as my children are minors, I can have some input on the situation, but once they are of age, there's nothing me or anybody can do to stop them. I'd still not like it very much and would have a hard time accepting it though, I just know myself.
What's right for someone else is not for me to judge though, I can only give input on my own personal experiences and viewpoints.
I'm not about to say that I judge someone being with someone older or younger though because it's that person's choice...but my kids are an entirely different story, hope you can understand where I'm coming from here.
I have a daughter that is going to be 16 this summer and if I caught a 43 y/o man buzzing around her, well lets just say you'd better hope the police get to you before I do...you'd be w/o some precious parts that's for darn sure.
Say something............anything!
You'd probably like it too much... j/k
