What bugs me is when you wear sexy clothes to catch a guy then he wants you to only wear them at home or not wear them at all and dress like a soccermom. Then when you do that he treats you like his Mom and goes finds another woman in skimpy clothes.

Happy Birthday! Hope your biggest hopes come true for you.

I think fake profiles are fraud. Fraud against the advertiser's that pay for the exposure and on sites especially where you pay for membership it is a rip off off your membership fees. What knocks me out is the let you in for free sites that continue to post your profile to members that they know can not talk to you. Wheather they are really telling you the truth when they say you have 100+ messages sounds suspect but I would be really mad if I wrote some one that didn't exist.

Welcome to the playpen.

Belong to an HMO and have a generic Doctor. Really scarey.

Some store brands are a lot better than others. So all generics are not created equal.

What really peeves me is the number of out of date products are on the store shelves. You either shop with a magnifier or pay good money for something and get it home and it is out of date! Not like it is worth the trip back on the same day to get a refund.

Couple things that will help things last longer. invert yogurt, cottage cheese, sour cream, and berries until you break the seal. Put brown paper grocery bags lining the bottom of the veggie drawer will cut down on mildew on veggies. Those little silica packets in the bread box will help (don't if you have small children they are poison). Want a great plant food use dried and powdered banana peels or used teabags.

Be fun to have Northeast in Spring, South in Summer, and maybe Cali in the fall or winter? I would have some time to plan something if people wanted to plan in advance.

I agree that some generics are pretty disappointing but most are the same so I figure why pay for expensive brand advertiseing.

I have found if I watch my favorite products websites,usually printed right on the lable, I can find pretty good discounts. And several of the coupon sites.

What worked really well for me was haveing my young teens collect coupons and the payoff for them was half of the value of the ones used was their allowance. Not only did we save a bundle on groceries over the year they learned about menu planning, prices, and became real savey shoppers. Because both knew the layout of their local stores it helped them get their first after school jobs.

When printing off coupons be sure and switch your printer over to black only ink.

Useing the coupons and codes on the back of reciepts adds up too.

Hi Grammy,
Sending greetings from the leftside. If you all are getting up I better get some shut eye. Merle feel better ASAP please. Joy

Mamasan not happy Nobody happy!

Welcome Soldier. Hope you make a bunch of friends and find the love of your life. If you were thirty years older you would make my heart go pitty pat. Have fun!

Once upon a time I would have said "If you love somebody you love their kids." The reality I have learned from experience is if you attempt to have a relationship with someone who has children; especially minors in the home you are going to be a second class citizen the majority of the time for a very long time. Possibly permenently.

While it is more than alright for you to shoulder the responsibilities of the child you are rarely afforded the smallest of rights. Not privacy, not respect, not ownership of the home you live in, or any of your personal property. You are not a co-parent and if you do not adopt the child or at least carry a power of attorney at all times you have no parental rights. You can't even legally give them and asprin for a headache.

Your friends and family are considered and intrusion. While you must be courteous and abligeing to Ex spouses and their families you are to pressure your family to take on the part of the step family right along with you. You have to deal with, often on a dailey basis, that another party: who may clearly hate your spouse and you; dictates the majority of your calendar. And as often as possible will sabotage any effort you make at having a sucessful relationship with your partners child. That is a lot harder than it sounds. Even if you are lucky enought to have someone with excellent diplomatic and parenting skills.

You have to come in mid stream and deal with parenting (or the absence of it) by not only your spouse but others who are diametriclly opposed to your values. The child's rights will always supersceed yours. If they have trouble transitioning from whatever passes at the other house or has passed in the past with your then single partner you are going to be the scapegoat. A lot of single parents don't want to admidt it but the kids run the show. I have to say I have seen some nice people have absolutely intolerable kids. Kids they were clearly afraid of. I am really not up for that kind of relationship. And I feel like if I didn't create the disaster in the families life I shouldn't be punished for it.

Cool Art Mirror

Actually the shirt is cool.

The reason pictures are desireable is not so much about looks as the attitude that come through on pictures and the story the pictures tell on people.

I think your child is feeling the hostility that you seem to feel toward all things male. He doesn't undertand the distance and blame for being his Daddy's kid. Nervous and stressed by the rejection he is probably sad and overtired. He may well have allergies and need better parenting but my guess is he is very tired of being a scapegoat for why Mommy isn't happy. He is only a little boy acting like a little boy. They are rowdy, hard headed, into everything every waking moment.

LOL Why not marry either and just get a good prenup so if it isn't wonderful you are out of it?

Not Exactly.
I get the impression that you might be a pretty incredible woman. Smart, driven, fearless, intense, and probably would be extreamly loving physically and mentally if you were treated well. What is a bit of a hangup though is you are choking on your anger because some smuck didn't appreciate what you are. Shake it off, fake it for a while if you have too, but smileing at your happy future is not being fake. You are really very pretty, great hair (except you are hiding behind it) so go spend and obscene amount of money on a good styleist, a fabulous massage, and your favorite meal. When you feel wonderful try the picture thing again and you will blow the socks of most the guys when they see you.

See that is not a person I would consider a friend. They might be someone I know and have to deal with but I would never think the relationship defined the idea of friendship. I wouldn't trust them to do anything in my best interest or to be trustworthy if they were that selfish.

Owning your own bussiness takes a lot of time and energy. Sounds like OP has demanded a lot of attention from a new relationship and she is just trying to back out of the relationship without making a big drama out of it. Setting for three hours in her place of bussiness sounds sounds a bit excessive to me.
