silent x, those foods you listed are on my top favorites.... :)
Eat a big taco salad and drink plenty of water, take a hot shower and go to bed. Then sleep as long as you can. It might make you feel much better! Just think of how you might feel if you were able to jog around the block first! You could take over the world:thumbs_upQuote:

My best friend is ruining her life. She has been having all sorts of marriage and financial trouble in the last year. Now things seem to just keep getting worse. Her mom took her daughter away, even though she is the one who supports the family. Her house is in forclosure, and her marriage is in the divorce process. We talk tonight and she tells me she is hanging with a guy who just got back out of prison. He was in for 9 years, out for a while and then something smaller put him back for 8 months because of his previous record. Plus he is nuts, and not in a good way. He went ballistic on his ex girlfriend for breaking up with him and that is what landed him in prison the first time. Her mom has gotten a place to stay, but she is getting state aid to help only because she has temporary custody of her granddaughter. Now, I'm told she isn't even going to fight her mom for custody because it would put her mom on the street:flare: Her mom has been meddleing and causing problems in my friend's life for as long as I can remember and she just keeps letting it happen. She let her mom take her daughter for a made up reason and now she is letting her guilt her into not regaining custody. Instead she will wait 2 years until her mom can get social security and afford to live on her own. What is worse, I keep feeling like if I had been there to help and support her none of this would be happening :bawling: I don't know what to do to help out or if there is even anything I can do. All I could do was advise she get her daughter back and not allow her mom to manipulate her into giving her up. Arrgh! I'm so aggravated and upset I just don't know what to do anymore.
thats crap. i dont know how to help you. All i can suggest is that maybe you get her over to your side of the country and help her gett on her feet. Light a fire under her bum and make her get her child back.
Also you need to stop putting the weight of your friends problems on to yourself. you have enough to deal with. but i do think you should get her nearer to you and away from crazy man from prison.
That isn't too bad of an idea. I've actually considered moving home earlier just to help get everything sorted out. I did tell her when I get home I'm going to find her some nice boy who isn't fresh out of prison, or the brother of the same dude both of whom are crazy. If I could afford to bring her here, or if she could afford it that would be the plan.
I'm ok, my mom got into a fight with my dad and is feeling depressed. Sometimes she just says she wants to kill herself. I promise I wouldn't do it if she didn't but I fear for her. My dad is an arschloch!
My kitty bit into a fishook and my dad had to pull it out, so it's lip broke a bit. I petted it during the 2 hour long ride from Miami and gave it fish and kitty food. I hope it heals soon.......
I am really mad :( :mad:
It's my brother's wedding anniversary today. I had sent them their gifts by courier 4 days back, and they haven't recieved it :( It was such a nice gift. I am sure the courier guys have lost it, because it should have reached within two days of sending it.....I just feel like killing the delivery guy or whosoever is responsible for the loss......
:mad: :(

As for me...my leg hurts for no reason and my teeth and gums hurt from flossing for the first time in a while...yes, I am a bit lazy when it comes to flossing. :blush:
The teeth problem was bad enough, now i think my body doesnt like the painkillers!(if you dont know what i'm on about see blog.)stupid dentist!
Is it possible to be in love with somebody after only meeting them for 10 minutes and barely having spoken to them? We met in a foreign country, and he lives in another country (not the country we met in) - we speak on email occasionally, he sings and I have his CD, we talk about normal life but I've found that we have a lot in common. He's sweet on email, but I know that on the computer its easy to disguise your identity. He just sent me an especially nice email, after I opened up to him a little bit... now what would you do? He's talking about maybe coming to visit and singing in some places where I live. He's not like a famous singer or anything, he just plays his guitar and sings because he loves it, but that is what would bring him here. Sorry that I've rambled so much, but I am so confused. I want to love him and I kind of feel like I'm in love but can it really be? And what should I do?
Any advice you could give me would be so appreciated. I figured this was the best place to post this - since it has been on my chest for the past couple weeks. Thanks!!
I think that it is possible, though who knows what love really is, you know? Everyone thinks it is the butterfly feelings and all that, but that kind of love doesn't get you through all the hard times, which is why the divorce rate is so great. I think that if you do really love him you will want what is best for him, whether that means him coming here or not, you have to trust that if you are meant to be together, you will be.... And I will agree, internet it a lot different than real life, so just watch out. Good luck:):):)
Okay.......I made a big mistake.....I told my best friend something that I had promised myself I would never tell anyone.... something about my past that nobody could understand but me... I am afraid now she looks on me differently than before.....I don't worry that she will ever tell anyone, I am just worried how we will be together now.
Thanks Domer. While it would be great if he came, I would also be okay if he didn't come - I'm definitely not counting on it because I know in reality, you can't count on things. Nope, no butterfly feelings - come to think of it I rarely get butterflies, only when I talk on the phone which I for some reason hate doing - but I really just felt something for him, you know? You are so right - who knows what love is. So I guess I will wait and see. Thanks again. Que sera, sera...
As for your situation, if she is really your best friend, I don't think it would be fair of her to change her opinion of you just because you shared something with her, unless it's like really really shocking. Is she the type of person you could ask? Or just say to her "Listen, I hope you don't think badly of me now that you know that..yadda yadda.." ? Would that be possible? When I share my past with my best friend, that's what I say, and normally she reassures me that her opinion of me would never change, which actually makes our friendship grow. But is that an option for you? Have you guys hung out or done anything together since you told her? If so, how did she act?
I'm annoyed with myself. I went running this morning and I had to start back at squar one 1 min run/2-3 min walk. I used to do 5K's with out any problems, why did I ever stop. What's that saying "If you got it up keep it up." Doh!!
I HATE MY JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:flare: :flare: :flare: :flare: :flare: :flare: :flare:
But I need the experience...grrr! They don't give me enough hours cause I can't get people to sign up for the store's credit cards. I don't work for fun! I work cause I need the money!!! JEEZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!:flare: :flare: :flare:
I am so sick of dealing with crap. Time to just freakin' hide in a cave.
I'm not happy. In fact i'm quite angry and miserable! I'm seriously on my last nerve and i cant take any of this crap anymore! :flare: why is it that some men are just so bloody selfish! I mean, when you are in a relationship there are two people. not one person and there ego!:flare: I mean at the present moment i'm coming in second to a computer game! did you hear that litnet A COMPUTER GAME!!!!!
Why does she not understand what she thinks is good for me is not what the real 'me' can accept. Why can't I have different priorities? :( :( :(
I am fed up of everything...I will never learn from my mistakes :(
On behalf of all Y-chromosome carriers, may I say: we're just plain stupid.Quote:

Niamh, I would be mad too, but I have to agree with Silent X. He may be just showing off, or if he is like the men I know and love then he is simply too caught up in winning to know how much time has passed. Now that I think about it, I'm a woman and I still get so focused on beating something that I will persist for hours until I complete my objective:) I hope things get better, but try not to be too mad... boys love their video games. Even the fully grown ones:D
Is just video games are so addictive, once i went for 48 hours trying to beat one. Is like.....eh (try to remember feminine thing....) oooh! Shoe shopping! He might be too caught up in the game to think....
How about tit for tat? Couldn't you just ignore him when he's eventually finished playing just saying you're busy? Maybe he'll see what he did to you then.
Okay, does this bug anyone else? I go through the drive-thru, place my order at the speaker, drive around the corner & see the arm of the girl (yes, it seems like it's always a girl) dangling out of the window with my bag of food! What is that all about? How much time do you think she saves by doing that instead of actually waiting for me to get there so she can politely hand me the bag? I swear, one these times I am just gonna slow down enough to grab the bag out of her hand & keep on driving.
Thanx for the thread, I feel a little better.
Why do people have to make jokes which hurt others at least once in five minutes they talk! And then they expect others to take those jokes happily with a smile on their faces. What the hell is that? Jokes are good, teasing sometimes is okay, even harsh teasing can tolerated at times, but again and again? It's just mad!

There is only so many times one can hear 'can i ring u back i'm just doing something at the moment.' And thats if he answers the phone. Its come to the point where he doesnt even wait for me to reply and just hangs up! He's even got all his mates playing the game now so when i do meet up with him and if any of them call his phone, i'm egnored while they talk about their allience etc. Now do you really understand why i'm pissed off? and to make matters worse when he goes on hols with the lads he wants me to look after his "whatever" for him. Told him no as i've no interest in it and he got pissed off!:flare: Three years to babysit the computer game thats more importsnt than me in his life? dont think so!Quote:

ok niamh, there's one of two ways you can do this, i'm guessin gthis game is either warcraft or diablo. you can play it yourself, (although you may not like it) and use that tiem to sort of "bond" with your friend, or you can say "it's either me or the game" since he doesn't spend much time with you anyway it's not going to leave that big of a hole in your life to drop him like a four year old cheese slice. and if he truly cares about you, then he will drop the game and be around more, if you have to say this more than once, he's not listening to you or doesn't think your serious, then follow through and leave him. go on in your life.Quote:

I think the longest conversation we've had in the past 3 months was, Hows your studying going? You really should put more effort into it....never hi, how have you been, what have you been up to, whats interesting...never anthing interesting...we used to sit outside at night and talk...talk and talk and talk. Now he goes and hangs out with my brother all the time...and when he is gone my dad choses to ignore me or yell at me. He doesn't even say bye to me when he leaves.
I get it entirely now. I'd be hopping mad too. My sister is obsessed with online games the same way, and I just don't get the attraction. I would try to talk with him reasonably about it, since ending a three year relationship (if I understood you correctly) shouldn't normally be done lightly. If he can't get it under control and take notice that you need some of his time also then make a decision on what you want to do. I really hope that things get better for you. You could always cut his computer cord;)Quote:

If he spends more than weeks on it playing all day long it's an addiction. You really need harsh measures here. Cutting the cord, seriously.Quote:

Wow, that's really horrible. Did you try talking to him about this?
What is wrong with women in the workplace? My coworker (we'll call her Tammy) is a bleach-blonde, cigarette-smoking, pick-up truck driving, high-heels wearing, tough-talking WITCH from hell and I hope she rots there.
How dare her burst into my cubicle talking about filing and proper procedure? Her "qualifications" for the job consist of a high school diploma and running her husband's business and now that he dumped her wrinkly old arse, she has to come get a job with the rest of us who don't have actual assets and she hasn't quite figured out that she is no longer in charge. hmphhhhhh
:rage: :rage: :seething rage:
someone should choke her in the neck (that saying always cheers me up. where else would you choke someone?)
No, recently I've found it really hard to talk to him. My dad is a pilot so thats why he really isn't home...but this sounds bad but, I just feel that I'd rather have him never home or home all the time. Maybe then he would pay attention to me. Its my last year at home and you would think that he would take advantage of that. I've tried tagging along, but I just end up being ignored. I tried to see if my mom would talk to him, but she is just happy that he is home. Most of the time I just leave home and read and bookstores/coffeeshops or paint or work. Then I don't have to think about it and get depressed...I'm having a really hard time about it...and I don't like showing negative emotions so its been hard.Quote:

It was his way of preparing to let me go and make it a little easier on himself when I left. Now that I'm due to move back soon he is turning back into the same man he was before I left. He is back to saying "I love you" on the phone and teasing. Let him see that his behavior is causing you pain, but also know that it isn't anything you have done. He is probably just preparing himself for you to leave home.Quote:

And i've had enough. I need a change and i think that includes him.Quote:
