it is set up for anyone. just might not be as many on here but who knows. I suppose it depends on the area you are in.

One other question I have. if this is such a great thing and you are secure in the relationship and you are sure nothing is going to go wrong, then why are you asking us? I think there may be some underlying issue that you need to have answered. you may want to work that out before continuing in this type of relationship. If it is right you do not need others to confirm it.

no problem.

it actually can happen. ptsd can occur relatively soon or years down the line after a traumatic event. for me it was about 6 years after i was hit by a car. i slipped into a deep depression. i come to find out at the time of the accident the doctors knew that it could be a possibility. They did not inform me at that time since it was only a possibility and not likely to happen. Once I found out everything made so much more sense.

if you dig around on the site you can get to the free version for home users. no trial but a good anti-virus. just has a few less features than the paid version. but no cost to you.

I guess a lot of things have to do with perspective. When younger its all about physical attraction. As you get older, wiser and sick of the games you start looking for the qualities that will last. While there must be some physical attraction there for the beginning when looking for a relationship each man or women looks for different things.

In response to snarkytwain when she said she does not find the muscled up guys all that good. i see a lot of truth to that. one thing some people need to realize there is a difference between eye candy and someone you date. Eye candy looks good and may be fun for the moment. But often that is it. No real relationship potential because like it was pointed out earlier they can have any women they want so why settle on one.

I think when dating people it sometimes is hard to distinguish between what we want and what we need. often we think we know what we need but only to find out later that was just a want. For example the guy who can go all night sounds great to some women. downside is that's what he always wants to do or can do. Marathon sex is not always what is needed. sometimes a quickie maybe 20 minutes or so is perfect.

good point what happens when this open relationship ends up with his "girlfriend" pregnant and the other women he is seeing all pregnant at the same time? Even worse what about when she becomes pregnant with someone else's kid. Don't say we use protection. only thing that is 100% is either not having sex or complete sterility. Even tubes being tied is not a guarantee. i know of one couple where the female had her tubes tied. Pregnancy still occurred. I have never seen an open relationship end well. Chances are you have become the fallback guy already. She is out searching for something better but keeping you around till she is sure the next relationship will work.

one other option you always have is the local college or trade school. they often can do the work at a very cheap rate. they also do not have the need to scam you to make an extra buck. They do that in tuition, lol. Anyways they are usually very honest there.

also remember on an given day a women will likely get more emails than a mail. The more attractive she is the more she will receive. Amazing how many guys think they are all that. How many women out there see an email from some guy and laugh at the fact that he thinks he has a shot?

i recommend sticking with the new mechanic you found. Sounds like they are very honest. Honest ones are hard to find especially with women and young kids.

i so agree. a simple i am not interested is common courtesy. also remember some members may only check this once in awhile. so dont always expect a same day response.

i always get pushed to the friend zone. the only time i don't is when i meet a psycho female or one i am not really attracted to. so when i find one who doesn't my first instinct is to think she is psycho.

try chiropractic care. Usually very cheap and possibly could fix the problem. What I would recommend first is to get an insurance plan. You can get your own policy for relatively cheap. Once you have a diagnosis then everything will be a pre-existing condition. This can come about even from a trip to the emergency room. What I would recommend is try for a medicaid type insurance. Not sure what it is called in your state. if you do not qualify. try insure.com they can provide you a policy that would be effective upon first payment. As far as heat that may not help the back issue. Could possibly make it worse. Ice for 15 minutes on and off work the best. try some stretches. here is a site that will help with them

if that is true then why do bad things happen to good people? wait that was another post. your thoughts dictate how you feel about your situation, not what happens. what happens is controlled by so many other variables. The a-hole variable is the one that you can never account for. no matter how good your thoughts are you can not control what someone else does. There are many people out there who get their kicks out of making other people miserable. positive thoughts can not change this.

how many teenagers actually think their parents know what they are doing. most of them think their parents are clueless. its only later in life we realize how much knowledge they did have. at least most of the time. I know there are some people who should never of had kids but that is another topic.

psychology? that is the old school of thought. Times have changed. At one point you were not even allowed to spank your kids. Recent studies have shown that spanking does not harm them when done right. Its when its done in an abusive way that problems occur. When its done when you are enraged is when problems occur. for every study that says spanking is bad there is another one that says it is good. it really depends on the child. all in all spanking should only be reserved for the most defiant behavior. for instance how do you discipline a child who ignores all commands you give. such as goto your room. your grounded for the day or week. no tv, no phone. more or less they tell you they do not have to listen to you? what non violent technique would you use then? at some point physical confrontation will come up.

this is a great place if you do not need the face to face interaction. if you do need that you may want to look for groups in your area. if you need help let me know.

depends on the motives behind it. never spank in anger. whats hard is dealing with kids when the other parent keeps enforcing the idea they do not have to listen to you and you have no authority over them. They become disrespectful. makes it hard to discipline at that point.

i so agree with that. I try t avoid building relationships with those type of people. all they are there for is to make you miserable. often i am very optimistic but when i go through hard times its like everything all at once. not just one thing going wrong. good thing it only lasts for a short period.

cold pizza an option? or dennys?
