Hmmmmmmm.

Here's the thing. I never even joke about smacking my daughter around, but like Jasmine, I'm a little sensitive on that subject. When my daughter is frustrating me, I remove myself from the situation for ten minutes or so. I tell her that I'm putting myself on a time out, and go to my room for 10 minutes. I then come back and explain the situation calmly. I try to explain the situation as best I can, in terms she'll understand.

Kids rise to the occasion, a lot more than people give them credit for.

I still think you might want to check into the stress center. A friend of mine's mother runs one in Wisconsin, and they really do have fantastic programs, including support groups for women in your situation.

To me, hair isn't a major factor, so I don't pay much attention. I'd say do whatever it is that you want, regardless of what women might want/like :)

I want to be a bot - would significantly reduce my grocery bills!!!!!

Welcome to motherhood. They'll call you mean, they'll say they hate you, they say all sorts of things. I understand stress, especially in the economy we're in right now, but threatening to smack her across the face "more than once" isn't going to solve anything.

Someone recommended a stress center, and I agree with that. Anything is better than taking your frustration out on her.

Say what?

When you say you cannot get it to upload, what specifically is going wrong? Any error messages, etc?

For a first date, meeting for coffee isn't a bad idea at all - gives you the option of continuing the date if you hit it off in person, or walking away after one cup if you don't. Another thing you can do is research inexpensive/free things to do in your area. Most cities have chamber of commerce/things to do websites.

I don't think so, no.

I'm completely lost - my ADD kicked in and I wandered off to surf the 'Net for odd and little known facts. Came back, and the convo had shifted elsewhere, lol

Please don't take this as an insult, because it is most certainly not intended to be.

You're 20, so I'm guessing that the majority of your crowd is in the same age group, for the most part? This means that a lot of firsts are happening for them...along with the upheaval of leaving the teens behind and moving into "adulthood". Finding someone truly balanced at that point in life is a rarity.

Not saying it won't happen, am just saying that you might have to put up with quite a bit more emotion from friends, females, etc.

I was not expecting Hello Kitty beer, lol

If you have a message in your inbox that they sent you, you can open it and click Block User from there.

Otherwise, you could turn on your stealth mode to click their profile, so they wouldn't see that you had done so, and from there block the user.

Well thank you :)

pssssh don't need his money, I have a great career. I want him to have a great sense of humor, endless patience, and certified in first aid! (The last one comes in handy, hanging out with me)

Does it make you a jolly good fellow? lol

There's a liquor store near me that has hundreds of imports from all over the world. I muster my courage with some of them, lol, and have had some great surprises come out of it.

Hello and welcome!

I'm a vodka girl as well, and am completely in love with the liquor X Rated at the moment - french vodka infused with passion fruit, blood orange and some other fruit juices. I also love beer, though, so it's great to find a new one to try!

Sorry, msskarly - didn't mean to go off topic :)

LOL been doing that for the past year myself
