Things you should never mention to someone when getting to know of them. Posted: 1/29/2009 4:54:40 PM
I know everybody's been doggin' you out about your post, OP, but I agree with you. There are just somethings that you shouldn't say when you're just in the hello stage. It's almost like the guy's giving you his resume and it smacks of desperation. A lady must have standards.

Is it me? Or have you ran into this also? Posted: 1/22/2009 7:43:59 PM
I had an issue right after Christmas at Lowe's where I asked for varnish or something to waterproof the paint on my bathroom window so that the water from the shower wouldn't ruin it. The young lady at the paint counter said "I don't think we have anything like that." So I said "what do they use to water proof decks with?", to which she replied "I don't know". So I stood there for a moment and then I went straight to customer service and asked for the store manager. I informed the manager that when I shop, I'm not just paying for a product but also for good customer service and since I can spend my money any place I choose, I would not be shopping there any more, but would spend my money with someone who I felt respected me as a customer. The manager tried to make it up to me, but the damage was already done. I now make all my home improvement purchases at small family owned hardware stores. I pay a little more, but I get treated like the most important person in the store.

Quitting smoking Posted: 1/19/2009 3:27:58 PM
I quit smoking cold turkey three months ago. Drinking lots of ice cold water helps with the cravings and so do sugar free cough drops. Good luck.

How do you justify spending alot of money on something? Posted: 1/17/2009 6:20:13 PM
Don't try to justify anything. Just thank God that you have enough money to get the things you need and want.

Moral questions Posted: 1/17/2009 6:07:53 PM
If I cheated on my husband, felt bad about it, didn't intend to do it again, but didn't want to confess, I'd go on with the marriage as if nothing had ever happened; hoping of course that he never found out. I'd wear and enjoy whatever he bought me. And if I hit the lottery or won anything else, half would be his.

Is ignorance bliss?Or is knowledge power? Posted: 1/17/2009 8:32:42 AM
I think I would want to know that the other "fake friend " was involved, but not all the gory details. I was involved in an incident similar to this where I found out that someone I work with doesn't like me and is "cringing inside" every time I speak to her. I was really surprised to know that she finds me so unpleasant, so surprised in fact that I now make it my personal ambition to speak to her as many times a day as possible.

Earliest childhood memory? Posted: 1/16/2009 8:35:25 PM
My earliest memory is from when I was about 2 or 3. I remember going to a funeral and wearing a brown velvet dress with a cream colored lace type sash that tied in the back, but I don't remember whose funeral it was.

Choices... Posted: 1/13/2009 6:15:46 PM
I agree that too many choices is overwhelming and frustrating, but the way I deal with that is I figure out what I really want or need and I go with that. If I find out later that I could have gotten something else better or cheaper, I don't beat myself up about it, but try to make a better choice the next time around. Life is too short to be in constant state of "Decision regret".

Welfare Posted: 1/1/2009 7:00:52 PM
Jesus said, "What you do for the least of my brothers, you do also unto me." I believe that those who are more fortunate should help others, but there are more ways to help that just by giving someone money.

What would you do?? Posted: 12/30/2008 6:18:36 PM
OP: Here are some questions for you. Did your friend confide in you? How did you find out? Is the victim someone you both know? Someone you both care about? It sounds like the knowledge of this thing is really getting to you. But how is your friend handling it? Does your friend show any remorse? Does your friend think he's done anything wrong? The answers to these questions might influence what you ultimately do. Good luck with this.

May I Have a Word? Posted: 12/26/2008 6:36:21 PM
Okay, Fishies. Is there a word for the feeling of dismay you get when you find out your friend has only called you to pass the time as he/she waits for something else to happen? A friend of mine, who lives in Hawaii , mind you, called other day and just as I was getting into how awful the weather is here she said, "I'll have to call you back. They're done with my car now." When I asked where she was, she told me she was getting an oil change. I may be old fashioned, but I felt somewhat used. Anyway, I know this has happened to more than just me. Is there a word for it?

Socionics - The science of personality Posted: 12/25/2008 7:49:07 AM
A person's personality is shaped by many factors including heredity, environment, and life experiences. It's impossible to say what someone is like based on a static test. Personality is ever shifting.

10 Things I couldn't Do Before I Became a Dad Posted: 8/2/2008 9:53:41 PM
10 Things I Never Did Before I Became a Mom: 1. Kill a moth with my bare hands. 2. Eat leftover tuna noodle casserole straight from the fridge. 3. Sleep in my clothes. 4. Watch Disney movies (over and over and over and....) 5. Get my car washed just for the fun of going thru the "Soapy Cave". 6. Answer "what?" anytime anyone, anywhere says, "Mom?" 7. Find a wad of gum stuck to the side of the orange juice carton (Yech!) 8. Trudge out in the middle of a sudden downpour to "rescue" Barbie, LuuLuu or any other "baby" that couldn't walk itself out of the rain. 9. Look forward to going to bed at 9:00 pm. 10. Feels as happy and blessed as I do everyday!

ADHD, medicating kids.. Posted: 1/9/2008 2:32:20 PM
I saw the same report last night and was absolutely shocked. No way all those kids on meds absolutely need to be. Think some parents are just so frustrated with the child's behavior they are looking for an easy way out. Children are not born knowing what impulse control or respecting boundaries is. They have to be taught. It takes patience. I wonder what kind of affects the meds will have on the child's mental capabilities when they're all grwon up. After all, they get put on meds at such an early age, their brains are not fully developed. Are there any studies that skow kids on Ritalin or any of these other drugs grow up to be normal well adjusted members of society? EDIT: Somehow I doubt it. The goal is not to make them well, adjusted members of society. The goal is to make them perpetual customers who can't live without that stuff.

Hear Voices? It May Be an Ad Posted: 12/15/2007 9:58:50 AM
This is just another form of subliminal advertising. But I'm sure the government will find other handy uses for it, as in voices whispering in our collective ears, "higher taxes are good","war is peace", "freedom is overrated", "the government just wants to help me"...

Girlfriend's Guy Friends Posted: 12/10/2007 2:27:56 PM
OP, you said, "deep down she knows if they get jealous over me, they might not want to hang out with her as much, and then she has to face the fact that she doesn't have the good, objective and noble friends in guys that she may think she has..." If this is truly the case, then your G/F sound rather immature and is not really ready to commit to you anyway.

Girlfriend's Guy Friends Posted: 12/10/2007 2:21:01 PM
It sounds like you are jealous. Why don't you go out with her and her guy friends? Or better yet, why don't you find something to do while she's out with them rather than sitting around wondering why she doesn't contact you? EDIT: IMO, if you two are exclusive, then she shouldn't be spending so much time with her male friends to arouse any suspicions. If the shoe were on the other foot, it would be a totally different story.

How do you handle constructive critisism? Posted: 12/9/2007 5:44:03 PM
Brownsugar said, "constructive criticism is aimed to improve upon something you are doing, to elevate it and to take you to that next level." I agree with this. To paraphrase my mother, "your friends will tell you what you want to hear, your critics will tell you what you need to hear".

It means you need to learn how to use paragraph breaks. EDIT: Okay after reading your response that the only part that was a dream was the part with you standing in a hole, it could mean this: 1. Trying to find the "gold" could put you in a hole financially. 2. Trying to find the "gold" could put you in the grave. BTW: What do YOU think it means?

Are we just obserevers or can we actually make change? Posted: 12/9/2007 7:52:51 AM
I believe we can make a change if we make our voices heard, but remember this: there are a lot of people who don't want things to change and will spend a great deal of money and perform all manner of other dirty deeds to make sure that change doesn't happen. Montreal Guy said, "Just look at someone like Rosa Parks, and the impact of her refusing to submit to injustice. That one act was a spark, a needed one, towards a great improvement in society." What Rosa Parks did was done at great personal risk to herself; nevertheless, she persisted and made a huge difference in society. But now, take Cindy Sheehan on the other hand. The media and political leaders who had an interest in maintaining the status quo, pounced on this woman, villifed her, harangued and harassed her until she did exactly what they wanted her to do: sit down and shut up. What happened to her is one of the reasons people don't want to speak up and "the powers that be" know it.

Democrat/Repulican . . . Is there any sense to it all? Posted: 12/9/2007 7:26:43 AM
There is no sense to it all, mainly because each side has their own ideas about what's best for America. They have not learned the art of compromise. And until they do, it is a lose/lose situation with the American people stuck in the middle.

How to save the world from itself Posted: 12/8/2007 4:56:11 PM
OP, I sense your frustration and I am inclined to agree with you. You said, "The battle has been lost - but the battle of ideas will continue, finding new battle grounds in the hearts and minds of every young person who wants to make the world a better place." The problem with this is every person has different ideas of what "making the world a better place" is.

Confidence Posted: 12/8/2007 3:06:36 PM
OP; I see confidence in a man as that man's belief in himself and not just belief but also the ability to act on that belief. I am attracted to men who know what they can do and are not afraid to do it. OP, you asked "do you find the high achieving but modest man attractive and the confident man of average achievement unattractive, or how exactly do the relative weights of confidence and performance stack up?" IMO, confidence and achievement go hand in hand.
