not so much "cheating" but "deceiving"...I personally wouldn't do anything to anyone else that I would not want done to me. Personally, it would hurt me if my husband was chatting online that way to other women, for one it may be giving the other woman the wrong impression about his intentions, and two, it is not being very respectful to the relationship that we have...I dunno...I can be friendly-flirtatious while single but if I am even just simply dating someone I stop...just wouldn't want it to be done to me. I experienced something like that with (2) ex's of mine...I just don't get it; it makes me hate the friggin internet.

I think Nathan would be proud at the direction that this thread is taking!

I guess it all depends on how well she can cry on cue! My paycheck is sitting right here on my desk...funny, every week I open it actually expecting to see a raise. Hmmph. Doesn't seem to be working.

I talked to him the other night...he's still around...

It takes a lot! Before I moved to where I am now I was on the board of a humane society that is *still* trying to raise funds to build...They started their capital campaign in 1999 and have raise 1.2 mil so far, with another 900k to go. She is starting to build soon; but she does not want a mortgage payment so wants to raise the $$$ first...it is overwhelming!!! I will pm you the URL for the shelter; it really is an overwhelming idea that she has!

my 2 kids are rescues...Lola is a Bengal kitty who was brought to be sold at 6 weeks, and stayed there for 7 months all alone. I would see her all the time, always sleeping...I felt so bad. I must've watched her for 2 months, and then the day after Thanksgiving someone was pulling her out of her cage by her hind legs and she was fighting for dear life.She had big green gobs of yuck in her eyes, a nasty upper respiratory infection...I felt so bad, she came home an hour later. Charlie was a feral. He would steal pizza crust from my trash on my porch. It took me 3 months to get near him. He didn't even know what it was to be petted. I spent so many hours trying to get him to trust me, however, everytime I was in my yard he would follow me around, staying far enough away. I would come home and he would be waiting for me on my deck...finally he warmed up a bit and would let me pet him if I was laying down...then the day we brought Lola home I saw another feral I was feeding dead in the road. I felt so bad; Charlie came in that night. After a bunch of tests he was given the a ok to live with her and now they are inseperable...Charlie is still skiddish of strangers (he warmed up to Nate for some weird reason)...but every morning I am trapped in bed by them; charlie at my back and lola on my butt...

damn sudsy~does someone need a hug today??

I'm so sorry.

I know!!! I was having somewhat of a bad day...went home for lunch, stopped by the Post Office and Voila! There you girls are!!! I'm so proud!!! I liked the tribute to Shannon too... you girls rock! When I grow up I wanna be just like you!!!

thank you, I needed that this morning. However, I have a problem with #18...I will just ignore that one.

are they new piercings? I found out, the hard way, that I am allergic to nickel and cannot come into any contact with it. I itch and swell like crazy.

well, that answers my problems.

here is an interesting link from my favorites folder: http://www.phobialist.com/index.html it is hard to believe that some of these are real...however, it makes for an interesting read if bored.

yep, here at work...everytime I log onto dz.com from here I can feel the topic of this website coming up at my next Thurs morning meeting...my boss doesn't care too much as long as I am ahead of my work...which I usually am anyway. LOL...I am sharing an office at the moment as the building is going through renovations, and everytime I log on my office mate decides to take a smoke break...so I guess it all equals out...

I firmly believe that a college education is vital to live in this society...irresponsible parents? It depends. My parents were not irresponsible, however, I put myself through college without depending upon them. On the flipside, there are countless examples of kids going to college on daddy's dollar and having no other reason to be there but to party...My parents set a good example for me; they always encouraged me to follow my dreams. My mother would always tell me, from a very young age, that there is nothing that I could not do, that I could be anything I wanted to be. I cherish that, because it always stuck with me. From a very young age I would look at the world around me and be facinated by all of the different careers I could chose from... I still do! The most important asset ( I think) that I carry with me is my determination to push my potential in everything that I do; work, health, personal relationships, (skydiving!), and that is something that my parents instilled in me. Never settle.

no no! stay away from rotten.com!!! or ogrish, yeah, don't go to ogrish.com either....sick sick sick

...just don't tap into a margarita...oog. bad story... my neighbor invited me over for 1 margarita one night, right after the "duped" episode...ugh. By the end of the night I was using the word "c*cks*cker" in every other sentence...infront of a group of people from the country club no less...ah...good thing they were all obliviated at the time as well. I still hear stories though.

some really good responses here...don't think I can help much but to tell you that I KNOW it sucks..(I hate it when people tell me they know how I feel, then tell me I'll be fine...)I'm a pretty sensitive person and it hurts for a bit before I can move on...all I can do is work on me when this happens; find something in myself that will make me happy because if you put yourself in front and love who you are, you will always bounce back. Sounds dumb, I know. You are on a pretty good track though; you have a lot of support here (pm me if you ever need to vent), and you have a love for skydiving, which, when flying, I can never dwell on someone else much! Get out, don't sit inside...do something different. I was a blonde all my life, afraid to ever dye my hair...One Sunday the inevitable sunday blues kicked in, right after being duped (duped, not dumped) by someone, so I went out and became a redhead..I love it! Perked me right up!!! (esp. after seeing his face when he saw me ) I also write letters to the f*cker and never send them. If I die prematurely, oy. I'd hate to see my mother after she found those It helps to release the tension. you're right though. It does feel like an open wound. I always liken the feeling to someone taking a melonballer to my heart.

you shot someone with bb's gun? ... I thought I warned you all about letting sunshine use weapons do you go to hell if you walk in on your pastor in the bathroom??? one kick ass color red applied to my hair...damn I love being a redhead!

woo andrea! I think those boys were enjoying holding your legs a little too much! great color, by the way

well, don't end the story there!!!

I have never been embarrassed per se...the people I work with think I am crazy, but they always looked at me differently anyway. A few people want to join me! I do however, have a problem if it comes up in conversation with my mother. My father is very proud and very accepting...(lol, even talks to me like a coach at times), my father encourages me and tells me to follow my heart whereas, as my mothers baby, she tries to dissuede me from the sport. She will even try using her guilt tactics on me! I think the people at work are more sick of hearing me talk about it than anything else. Mom is very proud watching videos, but not-so-secretly hopes I will lose interest. My brother, on the other hand, does not understand where his little sister went...he refers to me as having "balls of steel"...I like that.

that makes me laugh...my tandem was put to "ray of light" lol... it is amazing how many people said RHCP...By the Way has always reminded me of my skydiving career, thus far.
