I think I'll remain the expert on what I was doing, but thanks for your friendly tips. :)

Yes. I have no idea where I stand with my beliefs so who am I to discriminate someone else's?

Take the republicans out of office.

Oh I don't claim not to be flawed. I love flaws. Flaws are cool. If you bite your nails, have OCD, listen to Britney Spears--whatever the flaw--that's totally cool with me. But I will most certainly judge someone for proposing marriage to me, a stranger, on the internet.

Sentence fragments don't bother me so much. Except in internet marriage proposals.

I just got the following message:

damn girl your beautiful marry me

.... SERIOUSLY? Does that ever work? A few things here. One, this person spelled "your" wrong. I understand not everyone is a spelling genie but "your" is a very small word. Not many letters at all! And learning the difference between "your" and "you're" will prove you graduated the first grade. "Your" is possessive, as in "That is YOUR book." And "you're" means "you are" as in "damn girl YOU ARE beautiful." Just think of that ' as a little bookmark between "you" and "are."

Second. Try punctuation. "Damn girl, you're beautiful. Marry me?"

You'll note that my grammatical and spelling corrections do not make this message much better. Why? Because you don't propose marriage on the internet with someone you don't know!

Rawr. Where's that millionaire Nigerian prince when I need true love?

I am confused. In the first picture you would appear to have sustained an electrical shock. In the next two pictures you appear quite healthy. In the last two pictures you appear to have transformed into a cute brown puppydog.

Yeah I need sleep. Seriously, though, good profile. Thumbs up. Fine holiday fun.

Yep, my cats are "people" cats, they love attention and enjoy being petted and taking over your lap.

For real!

I'm not a very political person AT ALL. I don't take politics very seriously. But this past election year it was like Republicans Gone Wild! I did not realize they could be so freaking scary. And don't get me started on Fox news!!

How anyone can even WANT to do things the Republican way is beyond me. LOOK what's happening to our economy. Look at how few jobs there are, and just TRY to call tech support and get someone in america. Go on, I dare ya!

At my last job, EVERYONE voted republican. EVERYONE. I felt like I was in some freaky cult. One morning a coworker approached me and decided to engage me in a 20 minute lecture on how homosexuality can be cured through Jesus! Excuse me if I don't believe any God up there wants to "cure" people of the right to be happy just because a few right-wing hookeyloos don't like it. And don't get me started on "the sanctity of marriage" A few decades ago divorce was illegal, inter-racial marriage was illegal, and women were not "allowed" to leave men who were beating them. And birth control was not the norm, so women popped out babies like a pez dispenser until they died at 28 of an imploded uterus or something.

And yet another coworker called Obama a terrorist. Come on, for real? Can't you come up with anything a little more original than that? I'll tell ya who the terrorist is: Nancy Grace. And the only reason we should ever bomb Iraq is if she's there running around trying to convert the heathens to her wayward Christianity.

*huff huff*

Sorry, what were we talking about?

That he did.

Meow! The black one is 2 and the one with the blue eyes is 1.

Sounds like a prime candidate for www.passiveaggressivenotes.com

I love winter. It's fluffy and reminds me of being a kid. Seriously, why does everyone hate it so much? Snow is good people.

Sure. I like a guy who's bigger than I am.

I think it would suck.

That's right. I said it!

I know it's bad etiquette to bring up past relationships when meeting a new potential suitor, but I thought I'd create a thread where people can do just that without having to worry about rambling! My ex boyfriend started out like a real charmer. We met in English class in college, and he asked me out after a few IM chitty-chatties. For our first date he took me to a Japanese restaurant and then to see a really BAD movie that we made fun of. The whole time we laughed and had fun. Then after a few days, he presented me with a ringpop and asked me if I would be his girlfriend. I thought it was the bees knees and fell for his clumsy charm.

Then we played Scrabble.

I'm not a word whiz or anything, but somehow I was just infinitely better than he was at Scrabble. He got pretty annoyed (after only two or three games!) and began making accusations like "that's not a real word!" In one such instance we consulted the dictionary, which confirmed that, yes, "Charmer" was a word. After a heated argument, he flipped the board and we never played again. A month into the relationship, he became very irate for no apparent reason. We went to the home of a couple friend of mine, and while we were playing a 4-player video game, he got livid that I was losing (we were on the same team) and threatened to make me walk home. Then he started, in time, calling me a "retard" and "stupid" and what-have-you. Now my friends are really friendly people and one of them pulled me aside and said they honestly didn't like this guy.

The relationship lasted three months, and ended quite abruptly when he called me the "c" word. That's right folks! It rhymes with "hunt" in case you didn't know.

It's been over a year, and I can laugh now about how crazy the guy was. And cry a little, because things like this always happen to me

So what's your story? C'mon, let's hear it!

Thank you! :)

When you go to help your lady friend put on her coat, make sure one of the sleeves is tucked into your pants

I'd just say it in as nice a way as possible. But if we hadn't been dating exclusively and only had a couple of dates, I might just avoid their calls until they got the point.
