adjuvented or non-adjuvented Posted: 11/18/2009 11:36:10 AM
If they've had the adjuvented (flumist?) for the regular flu, they can't have the H1N1 flumist anyway. I had my H1N1 last week, and took them for theirs the same day.

Tips and Tricks of the Trade Posted: 11/15/2009 11:36:18 AM
Prioritize. Delegate. Stick to your guns, don't let anyone do a poor job so you'll say "Oh nevermind, I'll just do it myself." That's exactly what they want you to do. The other stuff that doesn't get done...will get done sooner than later. (The only exception to that in my book is dirty dishes in the sink...BLECK!)

Have you ever fantasized about having sex with a transexual. Posted: 11/15/2009 11:15:54 AM
There was once a gal I saw on a community/dating site & she was very pretty, defintely female...until you read her profile. She stated she was a pre-op TS and also warned in advance that she had no plans for surgery yet wouldn't have anything to do with a man touching her (his) genitalia. She stated that was just a part of her that was off limits and any men wanting bi/gay fantasies needed to look elsewhere because she was strictly a woman 24/7. Would I date her? No, I want genetic, not generic. I don't state that to be mean or judgemental, it just wouldn't be something I would seek out or care to be involved with. Even if a guy were involved with a woman like that, since it takes so long to get going with anal, the lube and the time and all would limit the places and times when you could be intimate, you know? I don't think you'd be able to have a quickie like you could with a real woman. (I suppose that sounds petty as I re-read my comment.) I have yet to see a TG/TS in person that is truly passable, there's always something that tells you she's a he.

My own worst enemy....help! Posted: 10/5/2009 7:15:35 AM
OP, IMHO, you probably need some time to reinvent you during your separation and even years after your divorce. I read that a good rule of thumb following a relationship is one year for each five that you were partnered. In my case, that turned out to be fairly accurate, but every person is different. Here, there's sooooo many people that it's easy to pass on one that doesn't do it for you immediately. Don't settle, you'll know when you're ready. Speaking for myself, I can't always (or ever for that matter) come up with some Class A witty email on first contact . In your profile, though, you had me at "I can't dance." I knew if I looked long enough I'd find you.

When we were young, we were willing to overlook the warning signs and red flags (even if there were more than Tianenmen Square) in order to get a little sum-sum. Now, maybe we're smart enough to realize Ms. RightNow can turn into MRS. OhYouGottaBeKiddingMe and we don't want to repeat that little charade. It's a waste of both of your time.

When a woman is squirting...exactly what is squirting out and from where? Posted: 10/5/2009 6:44:33 AM
I didn't read all 15 pages of this but I'm convinced it's neither urine or a seminal type fluid just based on the feel of it. The first time it happened, I thought I had broken the damned thing. Ironically, it was with my ex wife as she was moving out of our house and into one with her boyfriend during the process of our divorce. Yeah...how's that for a class act? I dated a woman who could do it over & over & over & over & over again. It was amazing! I would let out a Tarzan aaaaa-aaaahaaaahhhh-aaaaaahhhhh! each time.

new g/f cant handle her alcohol Posted: 10/5/2009 6:13:32 AM
SD's ABC's of a lush. Abhor Become Condemn Drink Everything/Easy Forget Some alcoholics embrace their problem by classifying themselves as an Alcoholic or "A Professional" in an attempt to put you off of their trail with humor. Others are just plain in denial. IMHO, the drinking is a sign of a larger problem and the alcohol allows them to exhibit aberrant behavior in contradiction to what they profess to stand for. Then they can always explain away that "I don't remember doing that, I'm sorry." In my experience, Everything they Abhor and Condemn they Become when Drinking because it's Easy to Forget either the current behavior or something in their past that they remain unhealed from. As an adult child of an alcoholic parent, it may be easier to overlook the warning signs and fall into the role of a fixer or an enabler, even though I know better. OP, sounds like you know better too. There's a difference between knowing and doing. One can only help if the recipient wants help. When trying to help, you must remain on solid ground while trying to pull them out of the abyss. Try too hard and you'll get sucked into it yourself, then you're not capable of helping either of you.

Little peoples tiny teeth Posted: 10/2/2009 8:50:30 AM
Back when my oldest was 5 and the twins were 3, I used to line them up like they were being inducted into the army. There was a bath lineup and a tooth brushing lineup. That in and of itself was enough motivation for them to learn how to do it themselves. It was like; "Either you do it the right way or I will, your choice." Yours is younger, I understand, so do the best you can to make it fun and demonstrate by example having him in the bathroom with you when you brush.

Karmic, as in the real world, take what you will and leave the rest. Since this is a free site and anyone who's banned can instantly sign up again under a different screen name, trolls are inevitable. Don't take it to heart. None of our experiences are exactly the same, so don't let them get you down. Single parents should have an area with all the topics on this site in it's own spot, not just one forum as a cover-all.

Single-Parent-Success-Stories? Posted: 10/2/2009 8:05:00 AM
IMHO, as a SingleDad there's no reason to shelve your feelings for a desire to have a 'normal' family unit. There are plenty of people here and everywhere who would tell you that your focus should be exclusively about your kids and nothing else and deal with the single parent thing and blah blah blah. I feel like a broken record typing this, but single parents have to enjoy more success in this regard by seeking out other single parents. There's no way to prepare a single person without kids for what all goes on in a house with them. Of course that doesn't mean finding a partner should be on the front burner either, you know? It's all about balance in your life, your children's and a prospective partner and how you all fit together. There's nothing wrong with play dates at a park, museum, etc. There's no uncomfortable instant blending that there would be if you kept your SO out of their lives altogether until the last moment.

Never done a MMF, only MFM & it didn't work out so well b/c I ended up getting more attention than he did and it was his girlfriend. How could you not know what you like and not be able to apply it to somebody else's pecker? Seriously? I can't be the only one who's had to teach a gal what to do that makes me feel good.

OP, it's like I wouldn't want to bail without knowing in my heart that I tried to work on whatever issues, as we all have them at one time or another when in a relationship.

Are men that cook better for a relationship? Posted: 9/28/2009 1:50:53 PM
Are men that cook better for a relationship? Damn skippy we are. Cooking just for one sucks, but with the kids for the last over 5 years we make it fun. I was lucky in that Mom published a cookbook with all the family recipes so I didn't have to decipher her hieroglyphics on those little scrappy cards in a tin. That doesn't mean I always start with or follow a recipe. Sometimes I don't have a clue what I'm going to make depending on what's in the freezer and that's half the fun if you ask me. If I'm home early, I totally dig doing something like making a spinach salad, marinating a pork tenderloin, steaming some zucchini & squash & serving with rice or real mashed potatoes (nothing out of a box.) Then again, I can be the King of One Pot Dinners with chicken stir fried rice, for example. It depends on my mood. But...the best part is having enough time to draw her a bath, set out candles and a glass of her favorite wine so when she comes home she can have her Calgon moment while I finish being Grill Master.

How (not?) to end a relationship Posted: 9/28/2009 11:55:44 AM
I posted "Women (and men) usually don't turn loose of the vine they're swinging from until they have another firmly in hand. Accidentally in Love responded with: Also totally untrue! I don't believe in double dipping. The only people who do that are the ones that can't stand to be alone with themselves for any length of time. And who wants them? Just because you don't believe in it, doesn't mean people like that don't exist. Otherwise you wouldn't have inquired "The only people...who wants them?" Maybe the short term of this relationship didn't deserve the Tarzan theory, but it can't be disregarded because it was a dating thing and not a LTR or marriage. Take any example of couples who've been married or in a LTR who suddenly break up. Look at those relationships over the course of even a month after the breakup and I bet $1 that the dumpee has a prospective partner that 'dropped out of the sky' shortly after the split. There's more people like this than even they themself want to admit. No one wants to be 'the bad guy'. wishes granted says "Usually" ??? Perhaps "sometimes" would be a better word. I myself have NEVER done this.. and I never will. Whether I've been the one to end it.. or he has been the one to end it, I need time to reflect and process and "cleanse" one completly from my heart and head before starting a new relationship. If what you say is correct and the vine theory is USUALLY what occurs, then that would explain completely why most online relationship never last longer than the honeymoon period.. No one really gives themselves time to reflect and learn what their last relationship has taught them and they continue to make the same mistakes. *IMO of course. OK, fair enough, 'sometimes' then, but MHO, it certainly isn't limited to online dating. Good thing POF isn't a dating site. I would also ask you to think about real people you know and think back about the ones that ended abruptly, without even their closest friends suspecting anything was amiss. Then, a miracle occurs and the one who broke it off has a 'friend' that is eeeased into the fold of old friends. This is all a charade to avoid their contemporaries thinking badly of them for screwing around on 'Joe' or 'Sally'. There truly is something to be said about those who are not lonely when alone. Long term relationships are comfortable, and as long as it keeps trudging on, I think it's human nature to stay in that comfort zone than arbitrarily break it off. It's much easier for those people to make the jump if they're mad at the other OR has another 'waiting in the wings' telling them how wonderful life would be with them instead.

ADD (MIS) Diagnoses Posted: 9/28/2009 11:20:02 AM
Look. This is the deal. Do your research and have the child evaluated by as many qualified sources as you can find before making a decision. If the child does not have these tendencies, medications like Adderall will have NO EFFECT on calming or helping them to remain focused. In fact THE OPPOSITE will occur and they will bounce off the walls. It cannot be more simplified than that. As this was explained to me years ago, having it is like trying to watch 20 different TV stations at once when each one is as much of a priority as the next. The medication bestows the ability to filter and prioritize input from the various stimuli.

How (not?) to end a relationship Posted: 9/24/2009 10:55:52 AM
Why ASSUME that someone HAS to have someone else lined up in order to decide that the relationship she had with the OP wasn't working for her??? Not EVERYBODY has to start a new relationship before they end the old one so why make this assumption when you have such a high possibility of being completely wrong?? I'm not picking on you but I have a Tarzan Theory; Women (and men) usually don't turn loose of the vine they're swinging from until they have another firmly in hand. OP, the email part of it would be more of an issue to me than the message. Some people can't deal with another's feelings in person, which is nonsense for an adult. Only you can tell us if she goes out of her way to avoid any conflict. Unless there's something you're not telling us, it seems a little abrupt and impersonal. Deal with it. NEXT!

It isn't in vain because I play catch with my boys, I make sure they get their homework done, I teach them to be respectful of other people. Ignore all that crap, OP, as obviously no one taught certain posters the same values and mores that you're trying to instill. This is a free site and there's no end to non-parents coming in the single parent forum to bash those that are here legitimately. Everybody's situation is different. There are no universal experiences when it comes to divorce and the single parent...thing.

Traipsing hookers in & out of the house would be a selfish & stupid move as well. If you're just out for a POA, so be it. Women get horny too and if you're fulfilling each other's needs, great!

I, too, would rather not bother with a tryst and take matters into my own hands than engage in mechanical masturbation with another. I think that's where the age thing plays into this post. These days, would you really want to be with someone who offers it up on a whim? Bleck. Like you're something special and they're not serving it up for everyone else? I declined an offer from an attractive young lady friend-of-a-friend a couple of weeks ago. It would have been an instant gratification thing followed by what surely would have been a let down for her later on as we didn't jive on that level. To do so would have made me dishonest and a user in my book. OP, the more pressure you put on yourself, the worse off you're going to be. The first several times with someone new is kinda fumbly (is that a word?) until you learn their likes and dislikes. That's when it gets really good. Still waiting on OP's clarification on the religion/molestation thing. If that's not a misprint, seek out help now. Try here first www.sandf.org

Wanderbaby's all over it. Don't make dating or a relationship a goal, but rather socializing & if something develops there, great! A single dad is absolutely cognizant that he doesn't come first, it's a given in the same manner you'd have to understand that you can't be first either. I don't think there's any issue with 'ranking' when you're talking about two single parents. There should not be any discussion whatsoever explaining to the other that you can't do...whatever...if there's a kid thing going on.

when you found out that your child has ADHD how did u handle it and what steps did u take Posted: 9/23/2009 6:32:48 AM
In my experience it is "instant on." That was with adderall, maybe others function differently, but I don't think it's like an MAO. We (I) resisted the diagnosis from 3-4 sources for years before taking my now 12 year old to the University of Florida research center and one other source (independent counselor) before allowing her to take Adderall. The difference was night and day. As mentioned by other posters above, it is an amphetamine / methampehamine and not something to be taken lightly, no pun intended. The difference between my twins and my 12 year old (the one on adderall) is night and day. From the time my twins were 5 and she was 8, the twins could feed, dress, brush their teeth and wait at the door to go to school every morning. The 8 year old? Sitting in her closet in her underwear playing with a paper airplane every stinking day. If they don't need it, they'll be a spaz when taking it. Period. Our pediatrician makes us do an evaluation every month while on this therapy. Forms must be filled out by me, her teacher, school counselor and an independent counselor before they'll refill it. If all the reports don't jive, they may refuse to refill it.

Yeah, I haven't been the best example at times either, SSD. We make mistakes, and hopefully learn from them in order to not repeat them. Knowing and doing are, well, you know... Dust, you pretty much covered it in your question. It is life & everything that you mentioned is what it entails. Kids aren't stupid, depeding on their ages, they understand adult time out and everyone needs a break from each other every now & then. If I have a sitter or they have a sleepover, do ya think they're worrying about what I'm doing? LOL Do we all also enjoy eating off of the stove or grilling burgers while listening to music and dancing around like fools in the living room? Or cutting up at the Museum then going for an art walk? It's all part of it. I prefer improvising instead of having an itinerary.

One could spend the rest of their life wondering 'what ifs' or you could let it grow. From the way you speak about him, I'd take curtain #2.

would you cut a single parent slack for having a messy house? Posted: 9/14/2009 7:42:40 PM
I thought this thread had died, but as long as it's still here...have any of you watched "Hoarders" on A&E? It's usually three short stories of people who usually are facing eviction if they don't make their domicile's livable. It also shows the family members and a clean-up counseling crew through a multiple day cleanup attempt. The show is very graphic. I clicked it by accident and couldn't look away. It's the absolute extreme, out of control people and how they live oblivious to the fact that it's aberrant behavior.

Did he know at the beginning of your relationship that you couldn't have kids when he stated he did? Now one year later and he knows for sure it's not happening, so if he loves you he may be trying to make you feel better by saying he probably can't either. I don't know if that's a bad approach. Do you think it is? Things happen and people change. Have you two talked about this?

He has a crystal ball that tells the exact date when the baby is born? Uh, for relevant content...after this post if he's on here there'll be no need to explain that it's weirding you out.

Please? I need some advice, this is waaay beyond ok! Posted: 9/13/2009 7:38:52 PM
I forgot about the 'sneaking behind new wifey's back to talk' thing. It is truly amazing to me that anyone over 30 would get their panties in a bunch about one speaking to their ex when there are children involved. Seriously?!?
