There are an infinite many excuses for cheating; but none of them are
acceptable

People ought to care about how they affect the minds and hearts of
others, as if we all shared but one life.

If you can't be honest with another, perhaps you should not be in any
relationship with anyone.

Kim Novak!

How many of you remember here?

Just forget about what you feel others will think of you; don't judge
yourself! Just be honest and forthright!

When you connect the i-pod to your computer, the main status screen
automatically displays; scroll down to your platlists, and check off
the lists to be uploaded. That is the crucial step, and you are
probably missing it. The i-pod program will only upload files that are
checked off.

Hope that helps!

Perhaps, the only thing you really need to do is to follow I
Corinthians:13. It may very well be the central message in the entire
Book!

Chimay!

That's the best I've read of all your poems! I love that!

I feel that if someone, anyone, wants to be my friend, it's alright.
One of the purposes of the list is to make new friends. I don't know
you, but you can request to be my friend, and I will accept you. That's
me!

However, you can either accept or reject request to be added to your
friends list. It really is all up to you, however you choose to
determine who will be on your list-- it's your perogative!

So, wanna be my friend?

Be greatful!

It's not a male/female thing; it's emotional.

I know that you probably want your son to be a 'conventional male' who's
well assimilated to mainstream cultural prescriptions for gender
identification; but the truth is that these prescriptions are arbitrary,
constrictive, and potentially damaging for anyone. He will grow out of
his dependency soon enough. If he need your help, help him as he asks
to be helped. However, let him be himself, free to feel love for you.
If you push him away, you'll pay in the end...resentment takes a long
time to redress, and the emotional damage that you do now can never be
undone.

My advice...just embrace him as much as you can, as much as he needs!
The people he meets later on will be the beneficiaries of what you do
now. They will thank you later.

Great movie...loved it!

The attitude's alive on this site, though!

If you are in a union, consult your union steward.

But no one can be forced to work over 40 hours per week, eight hours per
day. If you are required to work over, your company must provide extra
pay incentives such as time and a half, or something commensurate to
added incentive.

And then, they must ask you if you would like to work over the 40 hour
limit.

I swear, though, it would be better if you were a union member!

Look at the things you are doing; you are actually doing them to
yourself. This isn't to put the blame on you, so please don't take it
that way. But, there is a principle that I always have followed: do
what is inevitable and necessary to solve your problem, so that you
never have to face it again. And if you do, you have learned how to
deal with. You've reached a point in your experience where it is time
to take a break from relationships to examine what is inside of you,
your thoughts and feelings -- to come to terms with what you have been
through, assess everything you have learned, and begin to remake
yourself in the image of a woman who is true to herself, and who will
stand for herself.

All that you do is probably not wrong, though -- give yourself a break.
But, you have to study yourself to see where exactly you took the wrong
turn, and why you keep heading in the direction you don't want to choose
for yourself.

It sounds like you are always looking for the wrong person to be with.
What you are actually finding may be the projection of how you view
yourself, and think you ought to be treated. It happens a lot. A
person's history sometimes compels them to hold a lot against
themselves, and they become molded into someone who is vulnerable to
being abused and exploited. You are very young, a look like a very nice
person, though you've been through a lot; you have time to break your
mold and develope into the kind of person you want to find. Respect
yourself more and in different ways which you have yet to envision.
Come out of hiding; you know what love is. I hope you don't take what
I'm saying the wrong way; the seeds of our own salvation are within
ourselves. Start looking within!

Love.

dharma,

It gets that way from time to time, but if you just keep going, you will
find your happy moments will come. Oldsage is right; experience teaches
you that vigilance pays off, if you just let yourself get through from
one moment to the next. In the interim, do whatever makes you feel
better, dream. Dreams are like prayers!

Marilyn, that is a nice offering!

Thanks!!

Have him banned from the site! Contact Vanchu.

That's Great, Morena!

Thats how to do it!

Moreana,

I'm happy for you that you have found someone. Be the kind of person you
want to find. When that happens...

Sex seems to always be the real issue with most people, men and women.
My experience has been that women in relationships tend to use it as a
bargining chip for other things. I believe that a lot of men out there
have the same tendancy. The main reason why I am not with someone now,
is because I have not found someone who is as serious about life and
living as I have been. If you are going to be completely honest with
your self, keep the theme of sex and its related issues out of the mix
of your conversations with him -- focus on the things that really
matter, and don't turn your relationship into a political arena. I
thought none on this site want 'drama'.

From what you've described, it sounds like his main priority, the climax
of his interest in you is sex. I don't believe for a minute that he can
see you as an actual, complete human being (if you know what I mean)no
matter how nice he may seem. He just isn't that evolved!

If you are looking for a man mature enough to recognize you
holistically, and value your life as if it were his own, then you
yourself have to finally make some resolutions: the problem you have
with dating stems from your own irresoluteness about what you really
want.

Be the kind of person you want to find. When that happens,

you will know how to answer your own question. If he can't be honest
about his primary interest in you, settle on him if you just need
someone, anyone, and compromise. But for now, if you have to let him
go, just let him go, and be true to yourself, and be patient.

Be vigilant: don't let just anything happen to you!

And Erica,

you are toooo cute!!!!
