More than food? More than chips? I'm forcing myself not to eat all of my chips at once, they're so delicious.

Actually I hate romance novels, always have. I read horror stories, true crime, thrillers, maybe some science fiction. I think romance novels are part of the reason so many women are disillusioned about love.

Everyone is worth saving. Awesome write, each time it gets better.

If he leaves, would you be able to support yourself financially?

Anytime, Ruth.

Once my step grandmother saw me reading and told me I was wasting my time. She told me I needed to be focusing on how to get a husband, and how to keep him happy. I found that amusing; even back then I knew I'd never have a husband, so I was definitely not wasting my time. I also considered her a hypocrite, she didn't know how to make her own husband happy, so she was a fine one to give advice.

You're welcome. I hate to see anyone make the same mistake I did. The damage can be irreparable.

Do certain smells remind you of people from your past?

I write more now. I wrote stories as a child, but I took a creative writing course in college and found that I was good at poetry. So I write poems now. Not sure if they help me in relating to others, because that's something I tend to suck at, but they do help me get through stuff for the most part.

Romee, what you do is none of my business, and I don't know you, but I will say this and then I'm out of it. Getting revenge on people doesn't solve anything. No matter what happens, "getting back" at them won't fix anything, and it won't change anything. She broke up with you, she broke your heart, we get that. We've all been lied to, played, hurt, misused, misled, and thrown away. It hurts like a b!tch, and the first reaction is usually to "get them for getting me."

But you know what? All that does is create a cycle, she ****ed you, so you **** her, so she ****s you back, or even worse, the next woman you get involved with has to pay for your ex's mistakes, and then she becomes bitter over what you did to her, and so it goes. Life sucks for most people, everyone has something they have to deal with, no matter who they are, but it's life. We deal, we get over it, we take our hits and lick our wounds and we hope for the best.

I truly hope you can make it past this, because I know how you feel, I've been there, but if you insist on letting hate and malice fester in your heart, all it will do is kill you. I wish you well.

Very true, Melody, you should always be cautious, people seem to miss that, and then when it blows up in their face, they blame the medium, rather than taking full responsibility for themselves.

I agree Huck. I hate being miserable, because it really hurts, but I get my best poems out of it. It'd be good if we could turn the misery on and off and then write and then back to real life, but it doesn't seem to work that way.

I was friends with 3 women for over 20 years, we met in the 9th grade. I thought they really cared about me, turned out they didn't. And for all that time, I never knew.....

I'm afraid of fire.

Ever cried so hard you nearly choked to death?

It happens, kid.

Careful, you might get perverd by old ladies who like young guys with killer biceps.....

Since we're discussing pics, Plastic, that really isn't my fav pic of yours.....

Have a good cry and try to let it go. Don't let hate consume you, all that does is make it worse.

Maybe that's my problem, I don't have any.

I'm also thinking that Ruth and Dict8 make a really adorable couple and I couldn't be happier for them.
