NY Giants baby!!

Big Blue will be coming after you! Eli is The Man!

I'm one of those hopelessly loyal fans that believes, just KNOWS for sure, that we're taking it all the way this year. Of course, I say that every year but still. My money's on the Giants. Well if I had money, it'd be on the Giants!

It's like looking for a specific needle in a Mt.Everest size stack of needles. You're gonna get a whole bunch of pricks before you finally find the one you want.

Good luck in your search.

Yes, bittersweet as it may be...

Heard the words from my man but still no actions to support them...

Dog wags his tail balistically every time I see him, so although he spoke no words...

I kicked him already with the good foot! You know me...I have less patience than I have grace, and well, we know how much of that I have!

Nice to be back. And to see lots of old friends still here. How are things up in the far north, eh?

It's either find humor in it or sit here and cry. I swing back and forth like a pendulum on crack these days.

So you missed my "how to break your foot in 3 simple steps" post, huh? Ok, I shall summarize in 5 words...

Goldschlager, heels, thar she goes! (that be me on the right! )

Been over a week and it's still a pretty shade of purpablugreenblack! And pain! My word! I should never have left the house without my bubble wrap!

Hey Jo. I feel for ya. I too state clearly on my profile that I'm looking for friendship, intelligent conversation, to kill time in the forums, etc. ...and NOT meaningless sex, but does it matter? Nope. I still get emails from foreign guys wanting to marry me 'cause they like the way I look in my profile picture.

Some guys just assume if we're on a dating site that we're looking for a date...silly boys!

And others just look at the picture and shoot off an email without ever reading a word of your profile.

A profile is beneficial in that you have a chance to say what you want. For some it's a hook-up, some want love, some like you and I are just looking for friends and socialization. Ignore the morons that don't read it first. That's what I do. Delete button!

Best wishes to ya.

Same thing I do everyday...

and some more

The "I've still got it..." part did me in. Think I just peed a little. Aw Goof. Thanks, I needed that laugh!

"...profile is back up, and I'm debating whether or not breaking it off with someone if i find better, so . . .here I am."



This might not win ya brownie points with the women, just so ya know. Screams of selfishness to me. Good luck in your search for better.

I am so with ya! Those 3 little words from him now are as empty as my side of the bed most nights. Doesn't matter if he loves me or not if he doesn't ever show it.

Back at ya MsHarmony.

Gotta run now. Well, not literally 'cause I broke my foot but ya know what I mean.

Enjoy the rest of your day. We shall debate again soon I'm sure.

I honestly don't know Dodo. I believe there are private sources for research but I can't say for certainty. But you are right, most grants for brain research come from the government and go to the institution who would then pay me for poking brain cells...so in a round about way I'd be dependent on the government. I worked for the govt doing 911 for 10 yrs... I was dependent on the government for my paycheck, not for a free ride. Different animal, no?

We agree! Things are not as they should be!

We should live in a world where those with more choose to give to those with less and do so because it's the right thing to do not because the government forces them to. We should live in a world free from hunger and violence and war and death from cancer and unfairness, etc., etc. It's not going to happen! The world will NEVER be as it should be.

We have to deal with it how it is and do the best we can, as individuals, as a nation, as human beings all on one planet. It's bad and getting worse here in America. We have gone from the land of the free to the land of the freebies. I don't like it.

We strongly disagree on how to change things. You say you see things for how they are? You see things through your own lens. That's the great thing about perspective...2 people can look at the exact same thing and see something completely different. I see it through my own lens. I respect you as a person and think you are a good honest hard-working woman, intelligent in many regards but ignorant in others.

We can respectfully agree to disagree, no?

Nah. After 10 yrs doing 911 and listening to really screwed up people, I decided I wanted to know WHAT makes people screwed up to begin with instead of dealing with the consequences after the fact... so I went back to school. I chose the biology side of psychology for my major hoping that Obama would be out, economy would boost, research grants would become available, and I could study brains somewhere in the future. Maybe help cure Alzheimer's or something (which happens to explain why I moved to FL after graduation...thought this would be prime location for that with senior population here!).

Wasn't thinking about how much money I could make when I chose my major...learned to live without much of that by now...just wanted to make a difference in the world before I kick the bucket. Call me a fool...you won't be the first. Just ask MsHarmony how foolish I am!

I did what working parents do...put him in a good daycare and paid for it, along with the rent and all the other bills, until he became school age. I thought when he got older that I could work OT, 60-70 hrs a week so we could finally get a VCR, have some luxuries we'd been going without. I quickly realized that just because I could work OT didn't mean I should...you're right, a child needs supervision, even a teenager. So back to the strict 40 hrs and living paycheck to paycheck we went.

I finally did go back to school after I got injured and had to resign from my career at 911 and I got my college degree. I graduated with a BS in biobehavioral psychology the same year my son graduated from high school. I owe a ton of money and I'm still in poverty. I will never get out of poverty unless I hit the lottery. My degree hasn't helped me at all in this stagnated economy and again I'm at the bottom looking up. But I raised my son and he's working to support himself now. Am I a failure? A success? I don't know. But I sleep well knowing I worked hard my whole life and that I taught my son to work hard. I know that!

Oh dear. I seemed to have touched a nerve. Would it help you to know that I WAS a single mother struggling, getting assistance from the state when I was young? I went to college while I got aid. I couldn't devote the attention to both my son and school so I dropped out, put my dream on hold. I got a job and lost more assistance than I gained in wages, but I still went to work! I didn't take a handOUT, I took a hand UP. Not once did I complain that I didn't make enough....a livable wage is what exactly? Whose standards define livable? Do you need cable to live? You'd die from walking "a few blocks" to work? I think not!

This chick is 20 and has had a job for a couple of months and wants $15/hour for flipping burgers? I worked as a 911 operator saving lives and didn't make that until I'd been there 5 years! Her baby's father doesn't work and taxpayers pay her rent and she's complaining that it's hard. Yes I blame her. She chose to have sex with a deadbeat and become a mother. She chooses to have cable and take cabs. Maybe I assumed they had the high def...I'll give ya that!...but I bet I'm not wrong.

My point is this...you start at the bottom, you work hard, you move up, you better yourself and teach your child the value of hard work. THAT is the American way! You DON'T just kick back and expect society to pay for your choices. Get another job if you have to. Go without luxuries until you can support yourself and your family. Don't cry poverty while the man of the house sits home unemployed. Go to school on nights off. Learn a skill or trade. Make an effort. Help should be there for those who want to help themselves and need it. It shouldn't be a free ride for life! This from a former welfare struggling single mom that's been there, done that. I'm not some rich biotch snubbing my nose at the less fortunate. I WAS the less fortunate. I worked hard to remedy that situation. She should do the same. Life isn't easy MsHarmony. Not for any of us...

for that bold part. Makes me ill...that's not what sports should be about!!!
