Which is our problem. We're still looking at his skin color! By referring to him as our first black president it isn't an advancement in civil rights it's leaving it just the same! When you look past the skin color we're all the same. What is your point Riku? If we're all the same then It's about time that message spread globally and sunk in. If that the case, he is STILL making a difference in humanities. So, there should be no problem at all. Plenty of cups to go 'round!

You have an intelligent girl, who you could be fantastic friends with. You can run away and feel sorry for yourself with the "poor me" syndrome you're pulling. Or get over yourself, talk to her and at least make a friend with someone whose head is where it should be. Deal with your own insecurities and stop projecting them on to other people. If you think you're not attractive then deal with that issue, don't try to pin it on someone else.

That is a shame to such a precious little life, hope the angels are looking after him. It was completely the wrong thing to do but looking at things from her prospective (to help people understand why things like this happen) some people will never know how frustrating a screaming baby can be. It can crawl under your skin and upset the calmest of calmest people. Unless you've been with a screaming child 24 hours a day, you will never know what it's like. Thinking about how it is and actually being there are completely different. I have the softest of hearts and still could only handle so much before I had to palm my son off for 10 minutes peace and quiet to keep my sanity in tact. There seems to be an underlying issue with the child care worker and I'm willing to place my bets on anxiety/inability to cope well in stressful situations. There is an extremely high percentage of women who work in childcare who have been through childhood abuse or trauma. It is for these reasons that although, they can be some of the most caring people around, they should not be allowed to work with children. I would like to see a psych exam before anyone works with children. Even people with serious mental health issues could not be medicated nor diagnosed by a medical professional upon employment and it's not safe. I do think she is remorseful and probably in shock at her actions but let it be a lesson to those who have suffered, as admirable as your help can be, to step away from those sorts of professions. The impact of the wounds (1-2 story drop injuries) suggests trauma in the carer. Once again, I am not defending her actions, I think they are appalling. I'm merely choosing not to be emotional about the topic and give the chance for people to look further in to what makes people behave like this. Bless his little cotton socks :(

Go up to an ugly chick and tell her I think she's beautiful. It would mean more coming from me being a dude than a chick. And I'd never have to see her again :P nice yet mean at the same time.

He's made a page in history and a difference in humanities around the entire globe... In case you didn't know THAT'S KIND OF A BIG DEAL!! :wall: Have a cup of stfu and watch some cartoons or something.

That's cute but I thought it was an actual topic/discussion on "how to decide who to marry". I clicked on it all happily and then became a little disappointed. Although not completely disappointed because those comments were way cute.

But most importantly, Google is your friend :D

You're not out of the picture all together. She sounds like the type of female who has her heard screwed on straight but has a big of an ego problem. Talk to her about her future, her plans, what she wants to do, get close to her and you're still in for a shot.

There's a few dreams that come to mind. The first dream was a robbery that took place at my old work. I was counting the register at the end of the day, adding up the sales and the float etc and then someone dressed in black (face covered too) told me to put all the money in the bag or he'd shoot me. Well that day I felt sick so I called in to work and told them I wouldn't be coming in, so whoever was the senior member would have to just throw everything in the safe and I'd count it first thing in the morning. That night someone broke in to the shop and stole all the money. Second scariest dream was my mum being in a car accident, dreamed that a semi trailer backed in to the car and squashed her. That day, mum was reversing out of the car park and semi trailer kept reversing and mum kept beeping the horn to get his attention as she was stuck between another car. The guy kept coming and went straight through the passenger side (mum was okay though). Just scary how it happened after the dream. Third scariest dream was when I was walking in the park, it was starting to get dark. I sat down on a bench to catch my breath as I had been walking for quite a while and I literally felt something cold against my head. I looked up and it was a gun. Scary as anything because I felt everything:ohnoes: The last one was when I dreamed of being electrocuted. I was standing on my bed, trying to change the light bulb and woke up, jumped and was quite startled.

Get to know her so you do have some sort of contact with her. Or your friends are right "just go for it" you're never going to be with her unless you make some kind of advancement and work towards the goal. As for your friends constantly harassing you, it's not going to make your decision any easier. Tell them to back off. Although seeing as they're peer pressuring you, it wouldn't surprise me if one of them doesn't go and talk to her themselves to make things a little more interesting lol it might work in your favor and it might not. You could also try the whole sending your friend up to her and asking her what she thinks about you. If she doesn't like you then it was a joke, if she does then it just makes you asking her out easier. Immature high school approach but it works and gets results.

Today we picked up our cross trainer (saved over 500 bucks on it :thumbsup:) so hopefully can get rid of this ex baby belly ewwww!

That's a really nice coat I'm sure she loved it. I have a black one just like it but without the middle belt.

Yeah I met Rick on here years ago (6-7?) been friends ever since. Not letting him go anywhere, soon :P

I like to enjoy my walk, which means I walk slowly. My friends always ask me to hurry up and I always reply with "Why? What's the hurry? I like to enjoy my walks thank you very much and take in the atmosphere. Life isn't one giant hurry and if you walk too quickly, you'll miss everything." They just don't get it lol

So did they ever prove or disprove the possibility of life on Mars more than 3.6 billion years ago on the 4.5ish billion year old meteorite called "ALH84001" found in Antarctica?

Well that one is simple. What happened in their relationship, stays in their relationship. Anyone who tries to get involved or blame people or fight with people are being stupid. I'd tell your girlfriend that it's none of her business and to please concentrate on her own relationship with you. Other people's issues don't belong to her so she should stop trying to treat them as such. Extra details? WHO CARES! :P It's not your relationship. What can you do for her? Convince your circle of friends that by staying out of their argument that it doesn't make them any less of a friend. It's nobodies business but theirs. My girlfriend complains to me all the time about her boyfriend but I listen, be there for her, give her advice and leave my judgmental shoes at the front door. I never agree with insults about the other party being complained about as a rule of thumb when I give my friends advice. What happens if they get back together? You've just put a target on your forehead. I need to take myself away from their issues, not get involved and have the same opinion of him that I held before she even walked through the door to complain about him. I don't know him, I don't know his side of the story and there are always THREE sides to a story, your side, their side and the truth lies somewhere in the middle. But seriously pull your girlfriend to one side and ask her to settle down. She's making a scene. Explain to her that she may be close to the guy and that's why she hears all these bad things. When you think about it, your best friend always comes to YOU for a [bleep]ing session about their partner (and you usually only hear about the horrible things, not the good things) and the wrong thing to do is to come to a negative conclusion about the other person. That person trusts YOU with hearing about the negative qualities that are happening at the moment because you're their best friend. It is SO NORMAL to only hear of bad things about your good friends partners. Just be aware that you're not going to hear of most of the good things. When I was pregnant with my son, my partners best friend had a lot to say about me. I had to sit him down, ask him to shut his damn mouth for a second and point out all the positive things that I have brought to our relationship and explain how Brent only complains to him because he trusts him to hear about those sorts of things. He never once heard about the horrible things he had done to me. Once I told him absolutely everything, he couldn't talk to me without his every second word being "sorry". I taught him a very valuable lesson about hearing half truths and being the best friend. Similar situation, my partners good friend Kylie complains to him all the time about her fiance Pete. I caught Brent out, saying he was a jerk, doesn't treat her right, has no idea why she's still with him, he should leave her and I had to quietly remind him about what being the best friend was all about (being the person who is trusted enough to only hear the negative things).

Every single old book I had in school, including university is covered in drawings. I swore I wouldn't do it when I started uni because it looks tacky but that didn't last very long.

It's starting to freak me out too. We have 2 little boys who ride their bikes up and down and run around under the sprinkler and also a little girl who walks around the complex picking flowers for her mum. I already feel sorry for them because the first couple with the two boys have domestics at least once every week and we're sick of calling the cops, they're finally getting evicted. I don't know how anyone can take a swing, be verbally abusive etc right in front of their kids. And the other, her mother is wonderful but her dad is a brute. She was picking flowers the other day and her dad told her to stop because if her mum wanted flowers she could get off her [wagon] and come get them herself. How rude is that?? As if you'd tell your little girl that. Ugggggh some people shouldn't be allowed to have children!!! :wall: Today I'm hoping that my best friend Stacey gets back to me whether we're going to the local sports club or not (they've turned it in to a night club upstairs). I'm having a bad day and ginger has left so who am I going to complain to now :P he's like my little guru and always knows what to say.

The two things I've come to a conclusion about this scenario are: 1. She is immature. She's complaining about a guy trying to kiss her when she doesn't like him and then leading him on by going ice skating with him. 2. Yes the person could be you. But is she just leading you on too? Cute... but immature nevertheless.

You guys wont believe this... Brent and I had to go out to the shops for a bit yesterday afternoon and when we came back we saw that same man peeking in between the fence at the kids in the park. And while we drove up, he just ignored us, and kept weaving in and out between the cars and the bushes to watch the kids. Then I'm like Brent... that's the guy I was telling you about he gave me the shivers, he's a bad man I tell you. Then Brent's like "I've seen him before the other afternoon I was driving up he was pissing in the bushes, sick bastard". Then we both looked at each other and said "You don't think that the sick bastard was doing anything else in the bushes do you?" We got inside and called crime stoppers to tip them off. Obviously I can't be 100% certain what his motives are for looking but I'm not sticking around to find out. We have children in the complex whose parents don't look after properly (it really pisses me off how parents don't watch their kids) and I'd hate to think what could happen. I will keep a close eye on the perv. I can't wait to move out of here in March/April :ohnoes:

Algebra was fun but pretty useless. My lowest math score (for algebra) was 98% and it hasn't helped me with a single thing in life :wall: Can teach you a few methods if you're interested. Today was scary as crap. I went to peg our washing up on the line (we live in shared unit/townhouse complex) and this guy approached me and started talking to me. At first, I thought it was harmless. Then he followed me to my front door and started making me feel really uncomfortable. He started asking me questions like "is that your baby?" as he was looking through my front door at my son in his swing and I said yes... Then he's like "do you have a husband" I said yes I do (I'm not really but I didn't feel like explaining we were engaged, kept with brief, short answers to give him the hint that I wasn't interested in talking with him. Then he's like "Is he at work?" I'm like yeah... Then he's like "Can I come in?" I'm like not today I have a lot to do... Then he's like "You have really pretty eyes" as I got this giant cold shiver down my spine... The guy clearly wasn't all there in the head and gave off a pretty wicked vibe. *shudder*

Haha depends who they are. If they're a good friend I end up feeling sorry for them and putting it as nicely as possible and if they're a jerk or I don't like them, I generally let the air out of their egos. Ssssssss.....sorry :P

I just re-read it and your guess seems about right.

Diabetes is the least of his health concerns. Especially if it's only type 2.
