i THOUGHT this was the Depends undergarment thread............DAMMIT WILEY!!!!!!!!!

Nope. That's in the Sex & Dating forum.

Would you pee on the person below you????










Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh I think I just did!!!


Please pass the toilet paper!!!

If you know anything about real, classic country music, George Jones was saved by the love of his current wife.



Ol' George would've ended up like Hank Williams, Sr. did if she hadn't come along.



This tells me it's at least possible........

I dont think anyone should be responsible for someone else's sobriety!!! Maybe she gave him a reason but in most cases they fail. NO DRUG ADDICTS OR ALKIES PLEASE!!!

although.......Im becoming an alkie with this toothache/earache.....

Yeah. Nobody can really decide to quit doing something they're addicted to because of someone else. You have to make a conscious decision to quit because YOU want to quit, not because someone else wants you to. That never works if you don't want to quit yourself. You just end up resenting the other person.

That's not becoming an alkie. There's a difference between partaking for enjoyment and partaking for medication. I think.

That reminds me, I need another soda, brb

yETH!!! ITS FOR MEDICINAL PURPOSES ONLY!!!

save ------ destroy

take your choice

well we've all been in those toxic relationships before, now tell toxicman to give me back my mop!! have you seen him lately, LOL just kidding, lol

well either way it is better than being numb

hmmm, sometimes I wonder, yeah, yeah, your definatly right, loving someone is taking a chance, but its the only way we are gonna give ourselves to chance to have that experience for whatever it is worth. smiles

No. The reality is that you are only capable of "saving" you. You also have the power to completely annihilate yourself if you choose to do so.

yes, this I know too, that is why I like the I can attitude instead of the maybe or the I can't, or if kinda attitude. Everyone is responsible for how they view life and what they allow to influence them, that is, when they figure that out. We all have to take charge of ourlives period and be who we want to be now, no cat footing it like we are too scared to be ourselves. Sometimes hard times can bring a person to their knees and more, and sometimes, we have to find positive ways of letting the pain go. Knowing who you are, I mean in general, is a good thing, knowing where you stand as a person is also a good thing. No one is perfect and life itself is a balancing act. But we what we cannot give up on is ourselves and what we know is important. smiles

I think it can change your life -- motivate you to do things that are good for you -- I don't know about "save" -- that strikes me as a little too melodramatic, a little too Hollywood -- "Can this underachieving miscreant be saved by the love of a good woman?" -- but I'm a natural cynic anyway.

Taking this question at face value and not assuming anything I'd have to answer yes. When someone is in love their motivations can change dramatically. Can that lead them to change things about themselves that may be self-destructive and thereby save themselves? Yes, I do believe that is very possible.

But then you are only willing to change to suit someone else. It could create a momentum in your life or a reason to change to preserve your future existence in some respect. In other words, the kick in the ass you might have required, but in order for long term lifestyle changes to fully go into effect, it MUST be done for selfish reasons and because you desire for those changes to take place. Otherwise you are playing with borrowed time. What if that person should leave you?

Thats been my experience at least.
