I think people need to snap out of their TURKEY COMAS!

Maybe peope are off visiting loved ones over the long holiday weekend.

I'd rather be ignored/alone/hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not.

Ooohhh! Can I be Dr. Phil???? PLLLEEEASSSSSSEEEEEEEE?

Friends. Email Buddies... Forums.

<----------Happily Taken...
But JSH is a way to pass the time. My guy is in the Navy and currently overseas... I like most of the people on JSH... so it's a way for me to not feel so alone while he is gone.

That's awesome news!!! Good Luck!

Hey... don't let distance be a deal breaker...

I played Magic the Gathering and WOW... I've been sober since June and gotten over my addiction!

I'm sorta techy... but it takes awhile to figure out and troubleshoot problems...

I'm not a numbers person... but love words, writing and grammar...

I wear glasses, have no pocket protectors... play video games on occasion... and am a board game junkie...

If that makes me part nerd... hey... so be it...

I'd like to think I'm just me.

2 of my 3 brothers wore glasses growing up and they looked like White Urkels!!!!!

HEY! Do you know what a "dork" by definition is?
It's a body part on the Male Whale. No joke.

And there are different levels of nerdom.... seriously...

Oh no! Wii... you've just described the adult versions of mt kids!!! Either that means my kids are nerds or nerds are over grown kids...

I think as long as you don't ignore your mate and consume your life in gizmos and gadgets, there's nothing wrong with preferring video games and PC's over going out to bars or parties.

It's gotta be a balance... between 2 people. The likelihood of finding a girl who likes the exact same things that you do is slim to none. Just remember in asking someone to accept you, you should also be willing to accept them. If you can do that... who cares if you're a nerd, jock or any other type?

She is your ex... generally that means she is the enemy. Sometimes things don't work out- not because of anything more than circumstance. Don't let what happened then taint what is happening now. SHE is not your concern. Those kids are. As single parents, we must learn to "suck it up"... grow a thicker skin to what the ex is doing... and we must remember that for all their faults, at one point we must have seen something good in them. We may not like what they are doing presently, but we must hope that they are in favor of achieving 1 common goal: Raising upstanding, beautiful and intelligent little people. As long as you both can keep that in focus... let the rest go... if you don't it's just going to add fuel to the fire.

#1... if they really love me, they won't cheat... if they cheat, don't matter how I feel about them, they've lost all respect and gotta go.

#2...My fiance is in the Navy, stationed in Guam... currently I am tying up lose ends here so that after our wedding in March I can relocate... so YES... I would relocate for LOVE.

#3... For every action there is a consequence. If they wanna do a crime, they can do the time. Won't mean I love them any less... but if I were to take the fall, it would be enabling and/or supporting them and their choice to do wrong. No Way! I'm not doing time for anyone. That isn't what love is about.

#4... Absolutely.

Yes, but honesty is the best way to go. You may not get as many emails in response, but to lie and pretend to be someone you're not- what will that resolve? If you do meet someone off the profile you've lied about then you have to spend time either pretending to be someone you're not OR admitting that you lied about yourself and hoping the other person can forgive. I dunno... I personally would rather tell the truth and get no emails than tell a bunch of tall tales and then have to come clean after the fact.

March 15th, in his hometown in Arizona. I'm excited... and a little nervous... it is only 112 days away...

Hey Jess... why don't you quit being such a judgmental B----.
If ya knew the background story, you'd get it... but whatever. I don't need to prove myself to you.

For the record... my guy is stationed in Guam... that's over 7000 miles away from Chicago where I live. He was there when I met him. He's there now. LOVE KNOWS NO DISTANCE. You just have to be willing to accept certain things as temporary obstacles... and be resourceful enough to find a way around them. Believe it or not, when we first met, I told him I was not willing to relocate. But things change and life happens... so don't sell anyone short due to distance. If it's meant to be, it will happen.

I actually met my fiance through a military penpal site. He's in the Navy, currently overseas... so our relationship has been that of Long Distance. We have time zone issues and military schedules and the fact that he's on a remote little island with crappy internet servers that don't always work to contend with... but all things are possible if you really work for what you want. Once we are married and everything settles out, my kids and I are relocating to be with him at his station.

The guys I met face-to-face in bars or coffee shops, etc... it was always the same crap. I think the advantage of meeting someone on the net or having a long-distance thing, is that all you have are your words to use in expressing yourself. This means you really get to talk to and know the person. I think all to often face-to-face relationships lose a lot of much-needed growth if they become too physical too soon.

Good Luck.

I snow.
This will be my last winter with snow.

We had snow here in Chicago, too...
I'm gonna miss it when I leave...

Glad you had such a great day!

I'm 27... and I get that attitude from older people too. I think there are some geezers who are too narrow minded to think that some of us "youngsters" do have common sense and self-respect. I also know first hand some 35-45 year olds who still act like little kids and can't take care of their responsibilities...

I think people oughta get to know someone rather than form an opinion based on age.
