like anything when there is a symbiotic relationship, you have to accept both parties equally if you are an outsider friend, in other words, go out with both, but not one or the other, for it will always be a little sticky, no matter how secure the other party is with themselves and you...it's just bad manners and possible dis-respect to begin with, and pulling on the mate's trust. the spouse is left alone nights, and wondering, or days too. if i was that friend, i'd make sure both were included or would not go out. things can be said and not taken back, and all three will suffer....


well said and if the guy has a problem with his girlfriend hanging out with him and his "friend" then you know something is up. Wondering just drives people nuts. LOL

By the same token though...most people can remain friends with someone even when they find new love, marry etc. I think it's all in the "threat level" or perceived threat level that they present.


I don't doubt that people can remain friends when a relationship has passed its "sell-by-date" BUT, the person you are no longer with should not have such a high priority when you have a new "significant" other in your life.Late night or daily phone calls from an ex is a threat to any "healthy" relationship.


Ohhhhh boy! laugh You mean like when she rang him THREE times one night when we were on the phone around midnight? I made that argument and was met with, WELL! YOU must not trust me!


Yeah, I heard that line too. That is NOT about trust! That's him willingly, without regards to your feelings, blowing you off to talk to an "ex" or a "friend"...that's not trust, that's not love, that's not jackshit in my books. That's him being a dick, basically telling you to screw off and go find someone else to talk too!

Too true! Ex's are ex's because they don't fit into your life..they should stay that way. Everyone had told me I was weird because I never stayed friends with ex's...It's like, why on earth would I talk to someone who broke my heart only to start bringing up past issues and hurt, regret and anger to just feel empty inside once more. If you have to keep ex around, even after you've found someone else than that relationship isn't worth getting into, obviously they still care and love that other person.

See...YOU are a wise woman!!!

Last guy I dated prior to now, had an X Live in g/f that called him ALL the time crying over how this or that wasn't working out...where she lived, who she'd tried to date, etc. She'd call when I was there and when he'd tell her that, she'd say OKAY, call me when she's gone. noway Meeting for lunch etc, calls continued until I said okay...this needs to slow wayyyyyyyyyyy down. He sent me an email that she had sent to him saying she Hoped she'd always be in his life and how much she loves him and she Hopes he doesn't feel the need to choose, blah blah.. Needless to say I walked.


Best thing to do, walk and keep walking. Never go back. That's also how my ex was with his best female friend. Men = BLAH LOL

What would you think if your partner hung on to a friendship of the opposite sex during the course of your relationship? Here is an example of what I am talking about.......... A male friend of mine has been through two marriages (both marriages broke up for various reasons) he had a female friend (and still continues to befriend this woman) even after his two divorces, both of his ex wives were not too keen on his friendship with the lady friend in question.My friend is insisting that his friendship with his female friend is purely platonic, now that his second marriage has hit the dirt he has taken to escorting his female "platonic female friend" to dinner and various outings and has said that any woman he gets involved with in the future will have to put up with his friend or hit the road.He also states he has never been sexually involved with the lady in question ............ Do you think this is "normal" behaviour? Is it as he is saying that people should accept that a man and a woman can be friends without jumping into bed?


I had the same problem with my ex boyfriend. We were together a year and a half, we never, ever gave me any of his attention unless he was bored! I would catch him all the time texting and talking on the phone to his "best friend", which is female. They both him and her would go out to eat on a weekly basis, He would tell her everything about the stuff that happened between him and I and she would do the same for her life. She is now pregnant by a crackhead that she chose to be wtih for 3 years and my ex wanted to step up to the plate and start helping her buy stuff for her unborn baby, even spent a whole 5 hours with her one day. They went shopping, out to eat and then they spent some time at her house. I even came out and suggested that she is probably in love with him. I saw a birthday card from her to him in July and in it she expressed how much she cares about him and if he was not there for her she doesn't know where she would be and she even said, "love" at the end. He did not tell me about that letter...It was sitting on his desk. And - He never could come out and tell me that he loved me, he always bragged about good great his best friend was, but the reason that he wasn't with her was because she like an "amazon woman"...very tall and quite big.

Mmm..I came out and said, "i know she loves you" and he said, "if she loved me then why did she stay with her boyfriend?" Which lead me to believe that he does have feelings for her. One of the reasons I left. I felt like I was taking away the love of his life and with my son and I out of his life he can be happy.


OH GRRRR ....I don't think thats normal for a man to spend so much time like that with a "friend".....That definitely hurts the other person trying to win their heart.

very impressive pics y'all! and yes, Mo_muirnin, i love working with black and white....in and out of the darkroom, and with traverse city asylum, the black and white makes everything twice as creepy....and for that......creepy's good! laugh laugh


lol. Your question earlier to artifical lighting..no...natural light, thats the only way I work. Sometimes though in photoshop when I color correct the image then I will add a bit more light. But Usually just adjusting the levels and curves is enough.

You should show some more of your creepy houses! lol

Thats just Awesome. Do you do both the drawing and coloring of the comics?

Are the comics brought into illustrator to give them the vector look?

Great Salt Lake Sunset, Utah


In case anyone is wondering (like someone did before), Yes they are mine, Yes I took them, yes they are pulled from my flickr account..I have photography on flickr, deviantart, imagekind and redbubble.


Nice bokah in the lizard pic! Bet you have some nice lenses. The sunset picture's gorgeous as well. Well done flowerforyou drinker




MMM...actually not. LOL I have the Canon Nifty Fifty (50mm F1.8) That's my ONLY sharp lens. Then I have the standard 18-55mm..it's very soft..and the 70-300mm DG Macro lens from Sigma, which is what I used to take the picture of the Gecko and Sunset. :)

My mom and signed up to go to the gym together, that might be something looking into if any of your buddies go to the gym. That can be great motivation!

If you know you really need to lose some weight then don't even bother feeling self concious, there is always going to be someone else at the gym who feels the same way and is bigger than you - heck they might be smaller than you but want to get bigger - they still feel the same. You're in the same boat as all the rest of us that want to work out or go to the gym.

i really appreciate that. LOL i had no idea there was a 2/3 rule LOL sorry. self taught i guess you can say. LOL


There are many rules, LOL. But it's ok if you don't know any of them, Just take pictures of what you like flowerforyou

(I am just more technical because i've been doing it for 5 years) Self Taught is the easiest way to do it, helps you figure out what you're good at.

I really like this one, the composition is better than the rest, not to mention the rays poke out of the clouds pretty nice. And - you actually followed with the 2/3s rule...which means the center of attention isn't actually in the center. :) It gives the eye something to look at around the whole image.
