You know your a Mom when..
Posted:

When this is clearly heard from your bathroom stall at a store:
"Are you pooping, Mommy? Oh, good job, Mommy...make a big poo poo..that's a big girl!!!"
And then you have to do the walk of shame out of the bathroom, even though you only peed.

Funniest thing ever happened to you during sex?
Posted:
10/2/2009 1:20:39 PM
Hehe. 2 stories.
I am a tomboy and almost always have really short fingernails. I had to get long, fake nails for my friend's wedding one time. That same night, my fiance and I were going at it, me on top, and I reached down and gently ran my new fingernails across his....umm....boys. The sensation was so unexpected and unfamiliar that he bucked me off and I hit the night stand getting a black eye.
One evening I was giving my fiance a bj in the living room, and comedy central was on T.V.. There was some sort of skit with someone dressed up as a dinosaur (obviously making fun of barney), and right at the time he was....umm...climaxing, the dang dinosaur started singing, "Empty your balls, empty your balls...." in a retarded barney voice. We both started laughing uncontrollably at the funny timing, and the moment was ruined.

Hmmm. I could say sooo much, but I will stick with, "Confidence is sexy." Work on that.

Haha! Thanks, y'all! I'm sure I will be changing it frequently since change excites me. Don't ever come to my house when it's dark....you'll kill yourself because I'm always rearranging the dang furniture.

how soon is too soon to meet?
Posted:

Really, what is all the hype about meeting people on the internet?? If you meet a new person at a bar or club, they are total strangers just like on the internet. I really don't see the difference. People act like weirdos only exist on the internet, and not in the real world at all. The only difference when meeting someone at the bar is, you don't have the chance to initially scope out wether or not you might be compatible based on basic information and likes and dislikes before actually meeting face to face.

I dated this summer on another website (just for kicks and giggles, nothing serious), and met each man after only a couple days of talking. My first date, I had only met online the day before, and he flew me out to San Diego where we had an awesome weekend. After that, I flew to Vegas, NYC, Houston, Lake Tahoe and Nashville to meet other men. I had the time of my life this summer, but you always have to remember to be safe about it. ALWAYS tell someone exactly where you will be, keep enough cash on you for emergencies, meet in a public place, and PAY ATTENTION to your gut instinct and watch/listen for red flags.
Since I was travelling so far to meet random people, my mom and I had a system worked out. I would call her when my plane landed, and once again when the guy picked me up. The first day, she called me about every hour to check on me, and after that, about 3 times a day. I made sure she had the phone numbers to the hotel and police department. Our agreement was, if I didn't answer my phone or call her back within 30 minutes, she would call the police with the man's name, phone number, any additional information about him and his description.
I always made sure my dates were aware of this, and they were all very understanding (well, who wouldn't be unless they were psycho?) and even offered their home addresses and employment contact information to further assure my safety.
That said, I'm a bit of a sooner rather than later type of person. I want to talk to the person face to face, watch their body language, and be able to guage if there is any initial physical attraction right off the bat.

Must have job, car, house...are they after my cash?
Posted:
9/27/2009 9:40:31 PM
I can only speak for myself, so here goes:
I refuse to date a man who does not have his own means of transportation, does not have his own home, is unemployed, or can't pay his bills.
My reasoning is this:
I am 23, single, own my own homw, pay my bills, own a car, and am doing very well for myself and my children. I don't need a man to take care of me, and dang sure won't take care of a man and pay his bills. If I can be successful as a young, single mother, there is absolutely no reason a man can't when he has the ability to go out and earn 4 times the amount that I do. Money, stability and security are high up on a woman's checklist, kind of like nice boobs and arse are on a man's. That does not make us golddiggers, nor you men perverts. It's just how men and women are wired differently. I do not necessarily want a man that is rich, but it is important to me that he has reached the same level of stability in his life that I have.

Honest opinions needed...Profile Review
Posted:
9/27/2009 2:47:42 PM
Ok Dear,
First off, I need to come over and proofread your bio for you. You should put which bigger town you are near, even if you don't want to put your home town. How else are guys going to decide if you are close enough? Just my opinion, but you should just say screw small town gossip and politics and put your picture up. You are beautiful, I'm sure your pictures are tasteful and there is nothing on your profile that should even solicit gossip. It's not like this is "voyeurism.net," or anything!! LOL!!! You should talk about your family a little bit, too....like how awesome your daughter and grandkids are! But, not the boy because he's a butthead, lol! Just kidding! Maybe then I'd get a damn date, too lol!

Well, used to, there was a link that said vote breakdown on your profile, but it is no longer there. So, I don't know how to see it now.

Y'all make me laugh, lol. I was not in the greatest of moods when I wrote my last profile. Although my last one fit my personality perfectly, so does this one. I am a goofy, funny person, but opinionated and passionate about many things, as well. I just thought I could get some of the same points across, but in a nicer way, lol.

Awww. The only advice I can give you is that confidence is sexy. In reading the last line of your last post, I would say work on your self confidence, and then try again. Work out, take a class of your interest, anything that can make you feel good, and feel good about yourself. When your self esteem is high, it comes out in what you write. Humor is always a huge plus, too. I can't speak for all females, but I love it when a guy shows me his quirky, funny side.

Canam Miles: Wow! I love your response (and that is not sarcastic, either, lol). It is my favorite one so far! You are the first one, so far, who is proving my theory, lol.

Blonderoses1: I get the part about the ratings. I don't take it the least bit seriously. I just find it amusing, lol.
Re: 3 kids and you're only 23 - That fit's into my personal version of Natural Selection. I put out that bit of information, and no more, in order to weed out overlyjudgemental types. Your reaction, "3 kids and you're only 23," is the typical, judgemental, reaction that I get. However, those who are open minded and take the time to ask me about my particular situation (which involves a medical condition, limited amount of time to be able to bear children and a hysterectomy at 22) without being judgemental, win points in my book. I believe you are correct, though, in that the reader should be able to gather, from the "independent" tone of my bio, thatI am not looking for a baby daddy or anything of the sort.
Re: Drinking and taking off at a whim (I laughed when I read that) - I think that, in a bio, one should leave room for questions, and not give every detail of their life away. I applaud you for being curious and asking (although, technically, it was more of a statement than a question, lol). During the summers, my family has a tradition of the kids spending summers with my grandparents. As a child, I spent 3 months a year with them in Utah. My children, however, spend, on average, 3-4 days a week with them in the summers. They live here now, and it is a lot easier for them to take off with the kids to New Mexico, or whereever the destination may be, for a few days. I do not bartend during the summer, only run my company, which leaves me with a lot of free time in the summer months to do and travel as I please. As for the drinking, lol, I merely listed my favorite alcohols....right alongside my favorite foods lol. Eh, I'm a bartender, lol. I didn't say I get sloshed and party.
Re: Smoking - Yes, I know, it's icky. Point taken, lol!
Re: Pics of kids - I did address this in a different reply, but I would like to add to it. I love seeing a dad who has a picture of himself and his kids. In fact, I would feel more comfortable contacting a guy whom (who? LOL) I thought I could relate to.
All in all, I am bored tonight with the kids sleeping, and the fact that I'm so used to working really late makes me an insomniac on my nights off. But, I'm sad to say, My theory is being disproved, lol.

Hey now, halftimedad, you are disproving my theory! Lol! Thank you for your compliments, and I drive a toyota, lol! Funny thing, though, half of my friends call me Cadillac!
Re: My children's photos - My profile does not list any personal information about my children, nor does it list any vital information about me other than my name and town. Pedophiles are everywhere, and there are 8 registered living within a half mile of me. Taking your child to the grocery store, park or other public location is no different than posting a photo of them on the internet. Simple fact, those types of people exist everywhere, and are equally as thick in your own back yard.

Hehe...I probably did spell it incorrectly. It was incredibly late when I was typing it. I'll definitely fix it, and thanks, lol.
I will have to think about the part about a man laying his hands on a woman. Domestic violence is one of the things I am most passionate about, and I hope that no woman would tolerate being abused. Having been in one abusive relationship, I find it important to let it be known upfront that I will not tolerate any sort of it, especially when online and meeting complete strangers.
Which part, exactly, gave you the impression that I would be unwilling to compromise(Not being argumentative at all, just curious so I might read that part through your eyes and speculate.)? You are correct when you say I am strong willed, and I do understand that some men feel emasculated or are turned off by a strong willed, inteligent, ambitious woman who knows exactly what she wants from both life and a partner.
I could totally do the cliche chick profile that says I like shopping, sunsets, snuggling and fuzzy puppies. Although I do enjoy those things, like any other female, I prefer to get to the "core" of me rather than describe myself on a superficial, stereotypical female level. My own personal version of Natural Selection, lol!
Thanks for your imput, and I may tweak it just a little bit in some places in order to not sound as harsh.

The fact that the opinions are on such opposite ends of the spectrum is what cracks me up. I wasn't trying to sound conceited at all. I just find the differences between men and women, in general, to be amusing. Men take certain things into consideration in order to determine if a woman is attractive or not, and women are much more nitpicky towards other women. It just proves that men are basic creatures and women are complicated, lol. And then, there are the women who give low ratings in order to boost their own egos and make themselves feel better because, perhaps, they suffer from low self-esteem issues. My main point for asking for this review, though, was to compare the two at an intellectual level to see if men and women are still on opposite ends of the spectrum in their opinions. I have a curious personality, and want to see if the resulting opinions from both sides match my theory,lol!
I will definitely break the paragraph down, and I thank you for your suggestion!

I'm interested to see the differences of opinions of my profile between men and women. Kind of like when my average picture rating by men is a 9, and a 1 with women. Cracks me up! I just found this forum, and liked the idea of profile reviews. Thanks! :)
