Phoenix..... Bubbly, fun lover with a great sense of fairness, but who orries FAR to much what others think of her instead of her!
Morgan..... A bottomless cup of creativeness...however the lid is kept tightly screwd on by "something" in your past that you hate...negativity hold you back more than you know! You're a Leo...roar with PRIDE not just ecause you can!
Paralax..... Very Intelligent and very well placed in terms of herself. She knows who is is and her capabilities.
Freebird.... Your name says it all as I once said in a post of yours...you realsie individuality. You think sideways which is great but you move forward as a result.
Durrie, I am so glad that you took my post for what I meant it to be...a candid expression of my true and honest (and in no way intentionally harsh) opinions. You really impressed me with the way you took it, I was expecting...well...a different reaction. I need to stop anticipating and expecting people to act/react in narrow ways, because a lot of times I am impressed with their ability to be more open and whatnot than I thought they would be. Thank you for your assesment of me, and I'll say that you're probably way more right than I wish you were about me worrying over what others will think of me. (You're DEFINITELY not the first person who's ever said that to me. lol)...you see, I am glad we had this discussion because I for one feel it was eye-opening and cathartic. It has taught me not to be so "assuming" ("assuming makes an ass out of U"--LOL, a little American joke)--and it has shown me what your real intentions around here are. Because narrow-mindedly, I was getting the impression you only wanted to be our teacher and guru type of person and that you thought you were "above" having everyday conversations with us. I realize this is not the case and I am glad that you shared what you're really all about with us. I of course have many faults but I am willing to work on them as I see that you also will do with yourself (although you probably have a lot less faults than I do!)...I just didn't realize that you really are a normal everyday person and not a motivational speaker or teacher. It's great to have those qualities though! Anyway, you are very multi-dimensional and it was great to see that in action during this discussion. Cheers 🙂
P.S., Parallax, it looks like I also assumed you were criticizing me and therefore doubly made an ass of myself 😉
I am sorry about that. I'm a difficult person sometimes when my defenses are up, which they really shouldn't have been. My bad! (I hate that statement. lol)
A great idea just came to me as to what to do about thos prolife nuts... I think I shall organize a paint ball gun drive buy!!! He he he... They'll never know what hit them, or wait a minute, I guess they'll probably figure out that it was paint. But anyway, it would be so much fun!!! Hmmm... Now that I think of it, there are quite a few people I'll like to hit with a paint ball gun drive by...
Oh frick, its all too complicated. To answer Phoenix's question on single motherhood, here goes.
Sometimes in life a woman does not get a choice as to whether she will be a single parent or not. If she is in a bad marriage, then she, and the kids, are better off without the husband. If she decides to have a baby on her own, then she should make sure she has support around her, because raising a child on your own can be hard. If a woman thinks it will be glamourous to be a single mother, then she is wrong. It is tough, but it can be done. I was raised by a single parent for a while and while it was hard on my mum, no thanks to me (!), i felt she provided for us (my sister and myself) as best she could. Love is the most important thing in the world and when parents try to buy the love of their children, it all goes wrong. I wouldn't swap my childhood for the world. Yes, things were tough for a while and i was reminded of that daily, but the one thing that i had was ADVENTURE...
Just to jump the topic a bit and expand on my last point, i think the less you have sometimes, the happier you are because you don't have the stress of watching over what is yours. I think that's what life is all about, survival. I don't know, ive had an average of 4.5 - 5 hours sleep for the past 5 nights running, so don't take my word for it. I would be happy with an uniterrupted 8 hours to be honest. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
*That is libragirl asleep on her computer terminal.
Hmm. I'll bet there's someone who could read the dents and patterns of keyprints left on one's forehead & cheek after a night like that. Sorta like..phrenology? This could be a new science for technophiles! Could you change your life by switching to ergonomic keyboards? Inquiring minds wanna know.
Do you think it is immoral? Do you think it's unfair to the child who results from it?
I should answer this. No, it's not immoral. But I can guess where that question came from. I have a big fear of evangelical bible thumping' "God spoke to me & told me so" pulpit pounders. Being unable to gestate a child should not preclude someone from raising a child. Ditto the "need" for both parents. If a medical means exists, by all means, use it. Saying if God had wanted you to have a child, etc.. is as assinine as the "If we were meant to fly, we'd have wings, etc. philosophy.
Should a father have any post-insemination rights? No. This is already covered under Surrogate situations. I DO have concerns about viable products being frozen for use later. But only in the scenario of husband and wife break up, with wife impregnanting herself with products from cryo bank, then expecting child support, etc. (In fact, there are cases pending this very dilemma, as I write this.)
do guys really hate it when us girls refer to them as "friends" even though they may have used this word to describe us at certain times, I mean you know socially?Is it a sensitive word or does it have no effect on them. Once you
I found this template and copied it from somewhere on the internet. I copied it from someone who had copied it from someone else who probably copied it, so I'm pretty sure I've done nothing illegal. :P
This is by far the coolest group of message board posters on the whole entire internet. I have done a lot of checking and research to confirm this. The other message board communities suck. I have been to obscure ones and well-known ones, and I just ha
Can everybody share with me some of their more influential college experiences? What you liked about it, what you hated, the most important thing you learned (out side of classes). If you had another chance, what would you do differently? How do you feel
A customer threw money at me the other day. And I mean threw money at me. Luckily there was no coinage involved. :) I had treated this customer with the utmost of respect, had done nothing to him (he must have been like 15 or something), he was
Do you do it? Or are you too scared to do it? I didn't think I could ever do it, but I have this upcoming trip in June that I'm taking and I need some good travel gear, and I've already purchased one bag, and oh yes, a watch, and I just ordered a new wa
What do you do when your ex won't take the initiative to return your stuff to you? I called him once, right after the breakup (in early April), but I refuse to call him again. He never returned my call (like the coward he is, because he knows he's been
This is really stupid of me (don't know if you can relate phoenix), but I just broke up with someone I have been seeing for a while and although it needed to be done and I'm happy about it, I'm sitting here on a friday night moping about the house feeling
i'm confused on this. it says my sun is in the fifth house while my moon is in the ninth house and my venus is in the seventh house, i mean..the point is..what does this all mean? It doesnt seem like the other astrology i'm familiar with.
so did anyone do that 'stupid' "april fools" joke today? my cousin implanted me on one today on AIM..and so i decided to get his ass back!! haHAHAhahAHhaa...one of my childish plays :-)* i'll share my JOY with you all..
Anybody have an opinion on which university they think is better? New York University or Boston University? I've been accepted into both, and now I have to decided on which to attend.
I personally like NYU better. They seem more serious and busi

(This idea was sort of inspired by Crime and Punishment, which after reading I have decided a new criteria for deciding what is great literature: does it make you have discussions about killing people if you could?)
People are illogical, unreasonable and self-centered. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
