Do not stand at my grave and mourn. I did not die. I have been re-born. You can find me at night as a brillant star; But don't look too hard for I am never far. You can find me in water, air, and fire. I am everywhere. I will never tire. Do not stand at my grave and weep; For I am all around in beauty so deep. (Written & dedicated to my grandparents who are now together .. at last) |

I know when I was 15-19ish, I'd swear I was in love a few times, but looking back on it years later ... it was more like a puppy love type deal. It feels similar. the only difference is that puppy love is easier to get over. Real love takes a lot longer to get over. Thats just my opinion in my experience.

I feel the dating scene has changed. I did better finding half decent men when I was a teen than what i find now. I can't even find someone decent let alone half decent. Everyone I meet just wants a fling, or a rebound, or they are scumbags with no job just looking for a good time ... or in very few cases ... obsessive and crazy. That's just my two cents.

Single, no job, applying for a ten buck an hour job, but chooses to get artificially inseminated? Sounds like someone who does not make the best choices in life. Not the type of person I would want working for me. Plus she would end up on maternity leave anyway. and what about when the baby is born? can't take the kid to work. |

if her future is about as promising as mine is, I might just be joining her before I hit 45 and still have no life.

It is an addiction....this guy enables her to stay in drama. This guy enables her to remain firmly entrenched in high drama, and low self esteem....and she enables him the same. and the tough love approach...? Tell her so. If she wants out, then she needs to sh * t or get off the pot. Challenge her, she will probably get cranky...however, if she does want out, she'll call back. I have had women living in horrendously brutal domestic violence situations choose to stay.... for years....and then, they wake up one day and just cannot keep doing it, they leave...and appear on my doorstep, children in hand, ready to make the break. You have to be tough.... and call it for what it is.... to help them see what it is, and be able to be accountable. I also see your point which makes sense as well. Like I said, I don't talk to her often seeing as I don't know her that well. But I've had few long discussions with her. |

Hey Minglers, I want to help out an acquaintance of mine who I have never met. It is a long story as to how I know her, but lets just say she kept me from getting involved with this violent man she claims to love. About this guy: He's been in jail for over a year for arson Has rape and domestic abuse charges attached to him She birthed three of his kids which he does not see .. ever. He beats her, threatens her, etc. She isn't allowed to leave the house or have friends. She has to be very sneaky around him. She claims she is unhappy, but is confused because she does after all love this guy. They live together even though they are not together because she has nowhere else to go. Her mom is currently raising the kids away from all the madness. She said she has been to providence houses and such. According to her, this guy she apparently loves his also a stalker and crazy to the max. I don't speak to her often. It bothers me that she is in this situation, but it bothers me even more that she won't do more to help herself even though she claims she has tried. Is she just not trying hard enough? Or do you think she has gotten so used to the situation? she said she wants out, that she just wants to be happy. I believe there is a way out of every bad situation as long as you have the resources needed. And I realize it may take some time, but this has been going on for years according to her. So who would like to provide me with some resources or at least try to help out? The situation is getting to me and I want to help her. I've met the guy and he was very sneaky with me and likes telling pity stories. She just texted me and said that she needs to break the hold he has on her. She said it is like an addiction and it is far worse than doing drugs or being an alcoholic. I don't know what to do, but I'm ready to start a mob and go after the dude myself. Thanks, Guys. The most important lesson I have learned in this life is that you CAN change yourself and your reactions to others, but YOU CANNOT CHANGE ANOTHER PERSON. By trying to do this for her, you are enabling her to not do it for herself. If SHE cannot do it for herself and her children, you certainly cannot. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is walk away--for you, too! I see your point. It does make sense. |

Mine is also obsessed with water. After I use the shower he barges in and licks the shower, the shower curtain, and anything that is wet So...they like to lick the water after their master's shower...and yet...they don't like getting wet when getting a bath? Besides being evil there not very bright either........... Actually, they are bright. Mine knows when people hate cats. He's really mean to them and plays some funny *** games with the ones who are paranoid about cats. He knows when you're not in the best of moods and cuddles constantly when you aren't feeling right. You just must have never owned one. And if you ever did, your not the brightest yourself for never realizing what a gift animals of any kind are I don't hate cats honey. I was just funnin with you. I have had quite a few of them. The thread just reminded me of a movie. Dogs vs. Cats or something like that............ well crap, don't do that to me man. Now that i own one, I'm quick to defend. lol, silly I know but i don't care |

mine either mine has separation anxiety no one believes me if I'm away too long, he knocks things down and scatters them through out the house. As soon as I get home, he's meowing so loud and won't stop until you give him attention. |
