Happy Birthday to your son! Hope he has a great time at his party. I remember my daughter's first birthday party. She discovered dancing for the first time that day. They are so amazing at that age, learning to do new things everyday. Enjoy it!
panndads () - I hate to waste my time responding to something like this but I can't let this comment slide:
"Not only are these men desperate, but they have no self-worth in themselves because they willing want to raise another man's offspring..."
Excuse me?!! I have been raising my child for almost 13 years without a man - I definitely do not expect or want anyone I date or have a relationship with to take over that job from me!
Luckily you then said the following statement which makes absolutely no sense thus proving your ignorance:
"Single moms are not the norm, they are the rare exception, and are dealt with on a case by case basis with a sane society. Although, since American society is far from being sane, we have the plague of the single mom culture being propagated in it, to the detriment of men and women."
"dealt with", "plague"? WTF, didn't know I was a plague (oh yeah, I'm Canadian )
I've mostly dated younger men, haven't really dated anyone more than 5 years older than me. I've always looked younger than my age and I am still attracted to younger men (within 10 years or so) but it could be difficult now because although physically I could have more children, I'm not sure I want to at this point in my life.
It could be a sign of immaturity, low-self esteem, and childhood issues when women are willing to put up with (or are drawn to) those bad boy types. Personally, I've done a lot of personal growth since I've had my daughter, and haven't dated a lot since because I no longer want to deal with the guys with alcohol/drug problems and unresolved anger issues. I had enough of those in my twenties. And life is too short to waste it trying to change someone into what you need.
Didn't you have one where you were playing baseball or something? That was a good one. Wish I played more sports. My daughter is trying to teach me tennis, not an athlete!
Not partial to them in general, but some men look better with them than without, like Sam Roberts. Just depends if it suits your or not. Same with mustaches.
Oops that was in response to Kojack: 'Depends on the girl . I have dated materialistic girls and down to earth girls, most want a BAD GUY, not a Wussy.'
What's the big deal with viewing profiles? I don't expect anyone to flower or email me just because I view their profile. It's just a way to find out more about who the people are in the forums. (Now I feel like a stalker - sheesh!)
I've been mostly smoke free for 13 years. (smoked since I was like 13) I quit when I was pregnant for my daughter (and me!) I tried several times before that but I guess I didn't have enough motivation before. I still have the occasional one (when I go out, which is rarely), but then I feel really guilty about it. It actually reinforces that I want to stay quit.
I know people that have quit cold turkey or with hypnosis (tried both!), but those never worked for me.
What worked for me was weaning myself off them gradually (because I became addicted gradually). Ration them (like only 1 pack a day to start, then everyday smoke 1 cigarette less), wait longer between smokes, when you are about to light up, delay it for as long as you can. Break habits, like if you always have one when you first wake up, wait until you brush your teeth, or have a shower, or eat breakfast. Cut down on the things that go with, like coffee or beer (I guess that's why it was worked for me when I was pregnant and it was easier to give up the beer!). Think of it as a gradual process and don't beat yourself up for sliding back, just try again. You can do it!
I was starting to wonder if I was being a bit paranoid to not want to chat with anyone by phone yet, or give out more personal info (like real name) even to people (supposedly) in another country. I think you have to trust your instincts.
Today's a reason for living Today's the blood from a stone Today's a light from a candle Helping us to find our way home
Today we carry each other Today the past is a freak Today's a time for forgiveness You were never that good to me
(Welcome to this world of mine)
I'm sorry, I can't lie I'm wasting too much time Drowning I've been blind But I've opened up my eyes Sorry, I can't lie So I just say goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Yeah
Today's tasting the honey Today's the strike of a match And today's the lines in the pavement Helping us to find our way back Today's the crosses we carry Today's the strength that we need And today's the hand of an angel You were not the kind to believe
(Welcome to this world of mine)
I'm sorry, I can't lie I'm wasting too much time Drowning I've been blind But I've opened up my eyes Sorry, I can't lie So I just say goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Yeah
Oh what a day, oh what a day, oh my God Oh what a day, oh what a day, oh my God Oh what a day, oh what a day, oh my God And oh my God, and oh my God, yeah
Today we carry each other Today we do what we should Today's a time for forgiving Today I wish I could...
I'm sorry, I can't lie I'm wasting too much time Drowning, I've been blind But I've opened up my eyes Sorry, I can't lie So I just say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Another bye, goodbye, goodbye Another bye, goodbye, goodbye, yeah Another bye, goodbye, goodbye Another bye, goodbye, bye
RE: Looking for honest opinions
Some facial features would be good too.
