left knee pain
My boys didn't have growing pains till they were much older. I would deff take your child to the doctor if they keep complaining of pain. Kids could get hurt very easily and we might not even know it. They cry one second and then go play but come back and complain again....that is kids for you. Good luck but I would be calling my doctor for sure.

Content vs. Happy
I think to be content in your life you have to know who you really are. I think you have to know what you really want out of life..does that make sense? I am very content with my life because I know who I am and what I want BUT I am not happy with my life because of health issues. They do not always go hand and hand.
I have decided to be single and I enjoy my life. I am at that age to where I don't need a man but if I want a man then that is a different situation. Right now, I don't really want a man because I am very content with me! I guess the first thing you have to do is know who you are and know what you want. Always be happy and always smile....you never know who might be watching you to fall in love with that smile

Instead of looking at the bad part of being single, think of all the positive things about it. If I was you I would not put out there what you own because someone might just want you for what you have.
Patience is a very important thing and if you just relax you never know who you might meet. Go to those free concerts and see who is there, he might be living right there in Florida. Put yourself out there in your local city and see what happens...you can have fun with a friend, so get some gals and head on out. PATIENCE PATIENCE PATIENCE |

If you are seperated for what ever reason, then legally you are still married. I truly believe that you should clean up your past relationship before you get into another one. Who wants drama in their life, I know I sure don't. I know in the states it only takes 90 days to get a divorce unless someone won't sign the papers and then IF you have a lawyer...they really don't have much of a choice. IF someone says it takes longer then 6 months, they are having second thoughts.
So my answer is NO I would never date someone who is seperated, they would have to be completely divorced for me to date them. |

This is a trick question..because look how the guys answer. If we tell you our tricks they come back with, no wonder you are single. Or if we tell you what or how we act..then some think we are stuck on ourselves...I will pass!

For single parents.
I think you should do whatever makes you comfortable. I myself see nothing wrong with it. Maybe they are uncomfortable sleeping in their own room? Just ask them if something is bothering them?
I actually just went on vacation and we rented a hotel room, my son is 17 and my mom went with us. He spent the first night with his cousin and the 2nd night at the hotel with us. He tried to make me sleep with my mom..so when he fell asleep, I just got in bed with him and used a different blanket then he did. He woke up in the middle of the night and looked at me and said OMG WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY BED...I SAID SLEEP WITH GRANNY OR THE FLOOR, BUT I AM SLEEPING HERE. He just rolled over and started snoring again. Boys are so different then girls...they are strange little creatures!!! |

I have had lots of great Moments that I won't forget.
I actually think my best one was hearing...CONGRATS PAMELA, YOU ARE NOW IN REMISSION!!! I think that is when you start living your life a little different..just knowing that life can be taken away from you so quick and there is nothing you can really do! LIVE TODAY LIKE THERE IS NO TOMORROW BECAUSE WE JUST NEVER KNOW!!!

Stifled
QUOTE: How does one encourage a significant other to be open to their opinions instead of trying to stifle them? Thoughts from all of you clever people please
Some people find it really hard to open up and share their opinions with their mate. I use to really have a hard time with that until about 15 years ago...I guess IF you are the with the right person, you can only take so much crap off of them and then are willing to give your opinion if they want it or not.

giving up
If you only have 3 post, then you are really not trying to get to know anyone. You have to join in and start talking to everyone and put yourself out there so people can get to know you. If you are going to throw the towel in after 2 short weeks, I promise you...you will never find anyone. TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND JUST HAVE FUN WITH IT, YOU NEVER KNOW WHO YOU MIGHT MEET.

Trust me, not all women like to shop. If I HAVE to shop, I have a list and I get what I have to then I am out of there. I have never been a big shopper and I am not into big crowds of crazy people trying to save money.
If I want to shop, any more I do it on the internet. It is so easy to shop for Christmas with out leaving the house. You should try it some time..no crowds!!!!! |

Love
Love is how the other person makes you feel when you are with them, you can be yourself and know that you won't be judged. Love is suppose to be easy and pain free, so if you have to put a lot of effort into and you are getting hurt all the time..it is time to leave the situation. Love should always make you happy and not make you sad.

A vow is a promise? I am wondering if he gave you a ring and instead of it being an engagement ring, he said it was a promise ring? I might be wrong but I think that is how your generation does it anymore, they start out with a promise ring and then about a year later...you get the engagement ring.
Just remember IF he said he wanted to marry you then don't push him into anything that he is not ready to do. If he is unsure about things, maybe he is just buying a little bit of time to make sure he is doing the right thing for both of you. Be happy with the promise and go with the flow. |

Anyone can sit here and type whatever they want to type and who is going to sit there and call them a liar? Sure we might get a gut feeling that we can't trust someone BUT are we really going to say something? All I know is before I date someone...I usually do a background check on them. I do have a friend that can do some checking for me IF that is what I need BUT I have not dated for a LONG time so I don't worry to much about it. Of course you have not dated for a LONG time. In your profile, you say, "I am looking for a man that can look deep into my eyes and know exactly what I am thinking." Well, no man has the ability to read a woman's mind. That is why there is such a thing as divorce. Well actually I have not dated for a LONG time because I choose not to, I am trying to get healthy again...cancer drags you down. I do realize that men can not look into your eyes and know what you are thinking...I just thought it was a cute little saying. Hell, you can sit there and tell a man what you a thinking and they still don't get it half the time! Plus I got a divorce because I didn't want to share with 8 different woman...so there ya go!!! |

OlDer women
I don't think you are the only younger man that likes older women. You have to go for what you like and want, but just remember as you age so do they. So if you are say 22 and date someone 10 years older, when you are 42, they are going to be 52....will you be willing to handle she is going to age faster then you.
I have actually dated someone 13 years younger and people thought he was older then me. I loved it when they asked how much older he was, I was with the younger guy and no one thought I was his mom! |

Is it so wrong.......
I think you need to take some time for YOU. I don't think you should jump back into a relationship off of the computer. Why don't you find some friends and start going out and try meeting guys that way? I have found that you have better luck meeting them in person and then you can actually get a better feeling on if they are being honest or not. Face to face is so much better...if you see a red flag, then run.
Your life should not be sitting at home on the computer being in a relationship or friendship and never meeting someone in your area. There are so many single men everywhere...get out and MINGLE!!!!! |

QUOTE: QUOTE: Since this is a dating site some (not all) people here are looking to find a mate, partner, date or spouse. I see many people talking about what they want in a partner, but I don't see much about what they have to offer their partner. How would you sell yourself? What do you have to offer? Are you a great catch or not? I have nothing to offer anyone apparently. BE SERIOUS! |

It is a tough situation when you have an addict in your family esp when there is a child involved. My brother is an addict and has been for many years and when we have family gatherings, it is not a fun situation to be in because we never know how he is going to act.
I think the first thing you have to think of is the child and do you really want the mother around her? Yes she might be her mother BUT when people are on drugs, they are not really themselves at all. Honestly, if the mother has left, it should not be hard for you to get custody. She left her child and she is an addict, you need to file for custody while she is gone though and they will have you to put something in the paper trying to contact her...it is a pretty simple case actually. Your life is about to change and it is for the better. You now hold that precious baby in your arms and you my friend will teach her what life should be like. If her mother comes around and you know she is doing drugs, it is your place to take care of your precious baby. One thing that you have to remember, an addict does not think like a normal person...they do not have that capacity. So if you do let her around her mother, please be very careful...you never know what could happen. Never be afraid to reach out for help, single parents do that all time. If you are working and you need help from your family...I am sure they would be willing to help you. All grandma's love babies. I truly wish you luck and you are very blessed to have a beautiful child...God Bless!! |
