I remember there is a large Viking Statue there.... from years ago when
I was there often.

Well, seems there are a lot of views on depression and I have yet to see
one that tells me I can get through this without going completely nutz.

I am 64. I was given the news and medications for depression and
anxiety. I have several things that are a constant bother to me and
trigger the anxiety and make the depression almost unbearable.

Days and weeks without leaving the house. No phone calls or visits from
family or friends. Mostly they don't want to be around someone that
isn't happy go lucky at least part of the time.

Living alone is not the best way to deal with this as I have found out.
But, it seems I don't have any answers, even after all these years.
Talking to someone means if it is not a professional there is little or
no sense in the conversation you are going to have. I found that it ends
up with me listening to their problems and making mine worse because now
I worry about them.

I've been to counseling. Of course it was with the VA and that Dr. just
made me mad enough to leave his office before shooting myself. It's easy
for others to say just get over it. I have had that in my ear for a long
long time. Getting over it is really the whole point of me to keep
trying.

Maybe I will not live out my life as a crippled shut in... or maybe I
will.

Guess you have no takers...

I lived in Garden Grove for 22 years. It was ok for that period.. but I
am in Central state now and it is fine also.

Sorry Dave... won't go back.

Unsure is absolutely right on.

I believe that Kids and pets that mis-behave, or are disrespectful are
not that way because they want to be, but it maybe the only way a kid or
pet can get attention from a seemingly busy parent or owner.

Training is everything in raising anything.. human or animal. Don 't be
fooled by the experts that offer opinions which seem complicated. This
is not rocket science and it is not brain surgery... so do what past
generations have done to make their offspring ready for the real world
in a real way, smack their butts when they are intentionally mean,
disrespectful, destructive or abusive. Don't take their whinny ways,
make them take responsibility for what they do.. either bad or good. And
make sure you as the adult speak your piece to the parents or keepers of
ill-mannered kids or pets.

If the kids are in the way, you are in the wrong house. Get out and find
what is a better fit for your temperament.

I don't want anyone knocking on my door. If they don't call first....
they sit outside.

Too many cenerios and no deep enough answers: Many sperm donors are just
that, and when they feel guilty they take it to the Mother to make her
feel guilty.

I say if you make a baby, you have to be a man and make a life for that
child. If you aren't man enough to stay in a relationship with the
Mother, and you don't support the baby with love and money, then you are
not a Father or a Dad. You are a donor!

There is no place in a childs life for a donor that keeps coming back to
see where he spilled it. That is mean and distructive to the child.

if the child is to have any normal chance at life he will need a Dad,
and it is pretty much assured that if the Mother is anything at all she
will get married or have a relationship with a MAN that will love her
and the baby as well.

That is a man, one who loves his own and will do what ever is necessary
to make a life for that child.

Any camera with a fast film, or any digital camera would work fine.
Digital is better, but hey.... if you are afraid of camera's, guess you
will go unnoticed for some time....

In relationships... I have found that what happens as you grow together
is so much better than what they did in the past. If they have kids, are
you going to ask if they know who the Father is.... and if they don't
are you kicking them to the curb? Seems that anyone you want to be with
should stand as is, not as was.

"ELVIS" wearing OLD NAVY .... not in his or your life time!

What do married women think they might contribute to others looking for
dating or marriage. It is something that really bothers me to see such
women. Smacks of head games and cheating. It really is a bother to see
and seems a little pathetic to know they are so unhappy in their
relationship that they have to cyber to get attention.

As a personal observation I can see that unwanted messages are a pain in
the rear. I have only had one so I can't say I have a lot of
experience... but I ignore that person.

Here's hope and best wishes that you are able to do the same.

Kay... you are 19, married and have one baby. Most of the people you are
speaking too here are adults, not children raising children.

If your marriage lasts 25 years come back and tell me about it. You
might be single and hurting in a year or so, come back then and ask for
advice.

Get a picture.. it's easy and you don't spend a lot of meny doing it.
most people are visual. I am, and not to say that looks is what matters.
Only that you don't have that gangster look, tough guy look, mean guy
look, molester look... it means a lot to any woman to be comfortable
chatting with some one that at least pleasant, not alarming. Size in
this case does not matter, features do not matter, it is your heart that
tells so much about you, but you have to have a decent appearence to at
least let others find the real you

If I was to add a comment.. it would be maybe a picture without a
cigarette in your hand. Many women I have met are happy to discover that
I don't smoke.

I did smoke until 1981, and that was as far as I was willing to go
offending those around me.

Good luck,

Looking for dates for riding.. Motorcycle of course.

Is there some way to report, or anyone to report this to. I received a
message which lead to this person asking me for money.. saying she loves
me and wants to come here..

I know I won't fall for this.. but some poor soul will.

Please give a way to report this so these types and worst can be
controlled
