My take is you come on a free site you do not have the option to dictate the behavior of other people who use it.

Mingle is a social site that lets people talk about day to day issues usually related to dating and relationships. This helps the people who wish to learn to be more well rounded individuals and have exposure.

The level of exposure that people feel is appropriate is individually controlled. Most who date much have found that it is not a lot of fun to date someone you have nothing in common with. Nor is it safe going out with strangers in todays world.

Personally I am getting tired of the trite bologne that tells people stick your neck out so far that you get your scalp taken and then the rest of us have to bail them out.

Grapes are really good for your heart. Have the same benifits of wine with out the alcohol.

If you have a hot patio area or even a driveway grape vines can be grown over a frame very quickly. With the great pvc spray paint you can use inexpensive plastic pipe in a gazebo design, is portable, and doesn't rot. Great place for kids to play outdoors.

I agree cherries are delicious. Dried very good in many things. Great in a salad. The trees are truely beautiful flowering in your yard. And make great shade which saves on utilities.

For young twenty somethings, hopefully childless, to enjoy a long distance relationship, visiting each other occasionally, and even directing careers to end up together doesn't sound that abnormal to me over time.

Picking up, running off, ditching school and or family to shack up with no job now that is dumb. I don't think she is suggesting doing that.

I would be very careful about going anywhere alone with someone not from the local area who you do not have mutual acquaintance with. I would absolutely not bring them to my home. If a date doesn't see the risk in that I would have serious reservations about how much they cared about me being safe. If they don't respect their own safety I would have to question their common sense or how maybe down the line they would protect children.

Doing a little homework on line makes it possible to meet and stay in and affordable safe location. Youth hostels, college dorms, lower priced hotels, or camp grounds. You might pay more for a place in order to have access to mass transit to avoid the expense of renting a car. I would certainly never go anywhere without enough resources to get home alone. That goes for guys and gals.

Will keep her in prayers.

I am happy you have met someone that is interested enough to talk to you at length. You deserve a good person in your life. My guess is you could be a really good person for someone who is worthy.

Enjoy the attention but keep notes and see how it pans out over time. Enjoy each step of a relationship; sort of take time to smell the roses.

Sounds like you are in school. If he is a good guy he should support you in that and not take so much of your time and attention that you loose focus there.

I don't buy the concept of taking time off and wallowing in a past failures. Yes live and learn from your experiences but whatever you feel for a past love is also just part of what you are and the ex doesn't deserve that any longer and should not be able to keep you from expressing it to a new person when you have the opportunity.

Experience can make you more alert to danger signs but if you live in a state of fear and paranoia that you are somehow doomed to creeps that is all you will attract.

Just keep in mind if someone tells you they have been burned in the past there may be a different version of the story and take time to see how they treat you closely.

They put the answers in the book to make you crazy.

I agree math can be hard. Least there the rules don't change. Too bad that life is not more like math.

Memorize the formulas and it will get easier. When you see a % sign always move the decimal to the left the two zero's and it is much clearer. Also remembering to line up the decimiles when doing it on paper. Calculators don't let you visualize the process.

If you ask your teacher often they have tutoring videos that are a big help. Good Luck.

Mother Nature seems particularly cruel to Kentucky. What rain doesn't wash away is really beautiful. I am sure there is suffering all over the state not just Louisville. Will keep your brother and others in my prayers Winx.

I have often wondered what Sacramento would do because like New Orleans much of it is below sea level.

I would really rather see our young people in the military helping our own at home. In Kentucky 1 in 6 are serving. Must be very hard on them to be so far away and see their families suffering.

Well done! Bravo. And so true.

There are so many vultures in the world. You think you have agreed to a fee and they find whatever added expense they can tack on. Especially when people are vunerable.

I think this plan is seriously flawed.

Your instincts that this is too much to fast are right.

At 21 I can not understanding a parent/grandparent saying you can not do something you want to do. If you live with them and they are supporting you it would not be wise to openly defy their wishes.

What I understand even less is the parents of a 26 year old woman hosting a 21 year old stranger in their home. It sounds like either they see you as a meal ticket or they are trying to get their daughter to come back home from where ever she has been. Maybe living with and abusive boyfriend or husband.

Way too many red flags on this play.

I remember my Grandmother's pillows. Was nice to sleep on. No stiff neck.

I think it is because they are too stupid to think of anything nice or interesting to think or talk about.

I think you just need to throw a really great party, buy a truely georgous dress, and let all your friends/family show you their love. Then when you meet the "one" just elope and have a really great life. It will happen soon. I just feel it in my bones.

I believe we chase love because it is a basic instinctual need for self preservation, balance, and comfort. We are constantly indundated with how wonderful it is suppose to be so it only makes sense that we have and appetite. Most of us have some vague memory of at least something bordering on love to get us going.

Why do we stay when it won't work? Probably because either we don't know what love is suppose to feel like or the person we bump into doesn't.

We believe in perfect love because very powerful forces tell is to often from cradel to grave. Religious teachings are pretty much sold on it. As are major industries. When people we know are happy with the love they have they rarely tell you the "down" side.

I think you are probably right that many people think love is a joke. Sometimes you can get caught up in a belief if that is the crowd you hang out in.

Can you be truely be happy in love. For many years I really wondered about it. Then I found someone and yes I can truely say yes. Is it always easy if you do? No people are people and sometimes there is an off day. But it you love them and they love you it can be over looked and or gotten through.

Part of the reason most people get sick of who they love is they really didn't "like" them in the first place. Or they have a hard time letting that person change and grow to a new stage of who they are. If you get a very limited idea of what you think a person has potential to be then they will live down to that view. There are infinite variables with in any one person if you look for it. A lot of time boredom is what you see in yourself not your spouse.

Are you destine to be alone. Maybe you are only destine to be alone a while while you discover what you are about. I bet at times you feel like and old soul sometimes but you are a baby in the greater picture of your entire life so don't expect all the good stuff to happen in the first quarter.

I am craveing just about everything I am not suppose to have.

Appropriate is wearing a hairstyle that makes you feel comfortable and feel attractive.

Long hair on a mature woman can still be classic and beautiful.

People who tell you that you need to cut your hair are judgemental and probably are just looking for a more profitable style to saddle you with. Short hair is a lot of work. I think a lot of it is misery loves company.

If a man is telling you how to wear your hair he is trying to control you. RED FLAG!!!

If my experience is any thing comparable; think you will be very unhappy after a short time and suffer for months growing it back out.

"Nice" guys, of the cyber persuasion, should be flamed like burned marshmallows but we have to "play nice" in Mingle land so I will behave.

Depending on the circumstances you might want to see if you have any rights to sue for your injuries. It is possible the creeps actions could be classed as and assault. And or the establishment had some responsibility to protect you if they over served. A lawyer should handle this on contingency that they collect.

If you filed a police report it is possible that you can get some victims assistance funds to repair your teeth. I don't know if you can still file a report but I would try.

As expensive as it is for caps it is something you want to do as soon as possible because you certainly don't want to be spending upwards of $2000 for an extraction and an implant or eventually dentures. They are really the pits.

Sorry this happen to you.

Another in a list of reasons I recommend staying away from bars.

Going to your employer in person today is critical if you want to keep your job.

P.S. Sorry I type slow when also watching TV. Glad your boss was cool. Sounds like a good job worth hanging onto. Those are few and far between so maybe this will turn out to be a "lucky" break.

Sometimes you can save money by going to dental schools or special clinics. Be honest and tell the dentist that you took vicodine. It can cause complications.

He can also give you something for nausea.

More recently they have found powerful topicals before they have to give you the shots so it is not as painful as it once was. I am the worlds biggest chicken when it comes to dental stuff so I know.

Best of Luck.

I don't believe most people understand the level of physical and emotional pain that living with un-relenting depression is like. Not all depression is " oh boo hoo I am bummed out today" for some it is a chronic pervasive void where the senses are deprived in some areas and hyper responsive in others that makes for a truely miserable existence. It is a pervasive torture of the mind body and spirit.

I believe in a merciful God that gives me choice to determine the quality and value of my life regardless of how others might view it.

Any death is traumatic for family and friends but I don't live or end my life simply to make someone else happy. I refuse to give anyone that power over me.

I personally don't see a well planed suicide as that selfish or morally wrong. Illness and Death is messy and we leave a lot of stuff behind when we die unexpectedly. If you choose your time you can make it as realatively drama free as possible. At least make your wishes know and don't draw in rescue people in a big rescue attempt.

Birth gives us no control but choseing when and where and how you are going to die.
