It beats Monday night football and a box of cracker jacks! 'Course, with the right person, that can be fun too!

LOL....always!

I like Monday night dates too. I had one tonight as well and think that it's a fun way to start the week...and hopeful gives ya something to smile about all week long!

Interesting because, exactly 15 months ago (at 44!), I threw the rule book out the window and started living!

In addition to some of the formal writing (speeches, grants, legislation) that I do for my job, I also write sappy poems and love stories!

Despite operating in an environment (work and family) where it's been necessary for me to be an extravert, by nature I believe I am more of an introvert.

Nope, but have been known to put my FOOT in my mouth occassionally!!

You've gotten some good advise here, but my personal opinon is that you post the pics YOU like, what you are comfortable with.

If I guy discounts you because he thinks your pic is fake then it's his lose. Like your words in your profile, your pictures reflect the person that you are...and you get to decide who that person is and what you want to share with others.

Bottom line ~ it's your call. If you really like that pic, go with it! Adding a few candid shots in your profile will take care of the whole thinking it's fake thing anyway.

Most important, just have fun!

I was a one heart throb kinda girl!

But I guess it was just "Puppy Love!"

I have always believed, and taught my children, that there are consequences for your actions. This man suffered the consequences for his actions. His "redemption" was in realizing that he had caused a great deal of pain and suffering, and then found a way to try and counter that.

Does that change what he did and the damage that was done because of it? I'm sure if you asked his victims and the families that lost a loved one because of him the answer would be "no."

If he was sincere in his efforts to be a changed man, to make a positive difference, and to atone for what he'd done, then he found peace.

However, in eyes of many people ~ and the law ~ his death meant that justice was served.

Tough call sometimes though!

The Invisible Boy? I don't remember seeing him...

I liked the Fork Guy. Now if he'd been able to squeeze those things out of his azz like Briancarr does with the flames THAT would be something! LOL.....

LOL....I love it! Didn't one of the Mystery Men possess a unique ability like that?

Hmmmmmm.....Ass Fire Against Evil! Awesome!!!

In my opinion, you're looking at this all wrong! Perhaps your female co-worker was trying to help you with the ladies. What better way than to have a spa full of relaxed, half naked, tingly skinned women eyeing the only man in the place!

Go, relax, have fun! Once you get past any fears you might have, jump up on that table and let that little masseuse run her fingers up and down your body. I'm guessing the response will be positive when she asks, "You like?!?!?!"

Agreed!

Sure....they're called interns!

I thought if you got a "raise" at work that was considered sexual harassment! Hmmmmmm.....

Just kidding ~ congrats!

Darn blabbermouths!!! LOL....although I'd be more worried if it was my sister! SHE knows the dirt...

OMG....not the BIG RED BINDER!!

(Do you know my Mother, Gypsy?!?!?!)

SmurfyPoet....what doesn't make sense is that sometimes we want the very thing that we KNOW is bad for us!

To work through your pain and disappointment channel your energy and interest someplace productive. Start doing things that you enjoy, that are good for your spirit, mind, and body. At first that will be a way to occupy the time and help you get over this destructive relationship, but eventually you will be stronger, happier and able to resist the things, and people, that aren't really good for you anyway!

I am not advocating that you pull up stakes the second something makes you mad, but if you can't be honest and someone is playing games and using your words against you on a regular basis then, yes, shutting it down would be a realisitc option.

Depends....has she done this before? What was her intent ~ did she share the confidence out of concern for you?

I feel strongly about keeping confidences, but sometimes it is necessary to get the help needed. Whatever your circumstance, I hope you can work it out with your Mom and family members!

Not all women do that, my friend! I rarely do because my Mom always used to bring up everything you did wrong since the day you were born if you broke curfew and I hated that!

Holding on to that stuff, and using it as a club 3-6-9 months later, only weakens trust and communication in a relationship, reducing it to a score keeping grudge match. No thanks ~ ask, discuss, communicate; and if you don't like the answers you got...move on!
