  1. Holy CRAP!! That is *nasty*! "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss

    I'm getting old

    My mom started doing high blood pressure in her 30's!! She doesn't drink (AT ALL), doesn't smoke, eats nothing but healthy food, keeps fit and active, and wasn't the slightest bit overweight.. She certainly wasn't old - must be genetic.. "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss
  3. Yes.. Someone felt that starting that thread was an appropriate response to my current situation. Go figure. Seriously.. There are easier ways of dumping someone than pretending to move out of the country!!

  4. The same one. Why are you clinging to a man who is clearly unavailable? / Call me cynical, but to me the most obvious thing would have been for him to say "listen.. it was fun, but we both know it ain't gonna work".. But he didn't do that... As soon as he told me he was taking the job, he immediately followed that up with telling me we could still see each-other every weekend, that flights really were very cheap, etc., and he was sincere about wanting to continue the relationship. So I was really flattered and reassured that he was so quick to assume there wouldn't be a problem.. I'm just not sure it's so simple for me.. I don't have a big jet-setting lifestyle..

  6. *sigh*.. dunno.. I don't know what to say exactly. He knows I'm excited for him on the job front and I think it's great that he's going for it... And he must know I'm very fond of him because I'm like the *worst* person in the world for hiding my feelings even if I don't say anything.. But have I told him my heart is breaking a little at the thought of him leaving?? No. Just don't have the courage to own up to that yet.

  7. Yeah.. Like when you're having sex somewhere you really shouldn't!! "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss
  8. Oh no.. I'm so sorry for your loss. "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss
  9. My new man is moving to another country in one week.. I thought I'd be totally cool with it, but it turns out I fancy him & don't much like the idea that seeing him from now on will involve getting on a plane (as opposed to the bus).. Boo. That's all.

  10. Well, the nasty behaviour I described does not belong in a loving and healthy relationship in my view. But hey.. Just because some people behave abominably toward their partner does not mean you should give up trying to find someone lovely
  11. Ohhh I *hate* the silent treatment. My dad does it & it drives my mum nuts. I think if you're being quiet because you're thinking things through, that's one thing and perfectly acceptable.. If your silence is a form of "punishment", it's passive-aggressive and wrong. "Teaching someone a lesson" means you think you're better than them, and this type of behaviour does NOT (in my opinion) give rise to a mutually agreeable solution to the problem in question. That being said, little nasty attacks and/or nagging is just as counter-productive. So is rounding up your friends and "ganging up" against your partner. I think if you love someone you don't deliberately try to hurt them. Communication is key.

  12. Don't worry mate, I've owned *3* Ford's!!! "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss
  13. Fucking Owner Real Dumb "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss
  14. And when you finally find them, they reject you because you live too far away, and hook up with a local. I know you're trying to flatter me, but I'm not nearly as fantastically amazing as the people I was describing!

  15. I reckon validation due to poor self-esteem. I also think vanity. And finally, I think if you're that incredibly attractive it must be horrible having to trudge through everyday normal people (aka "the uglies") to find that elusive attractive person that is worthy of being seen next to your amazing self!!

  16. Is this the same engineer dude you bashed a couple of months ago for calling/texting a new girl too often, listening to heavy music in the car & generally being a knob?? If so, why are you *still* meddling into his business?? All he needs is to be himself and do his best to find someone who likes him just the way he is. Seriously.. Sound like you're the one who has a problem - not him!!

  17. Holy crap.. I think that's beyond stalking and well into the "psycho" section.. "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss
  18. I have to leave in half an hour to get to the airport on time for my flight.. So I stayed up because I didn't want to risk not waking up at 03:15..

  19. Wow - you seriously made that?? Cool! "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss
  20. Just her virginity. Wow.. I lost that like 13 years ago!! "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss
  21. Oh that sounds terrible.. I like the secret Santa idea, because at least that way you can put some thought into just one present & everyone gets something.. But the swapsies thing.. Well.. Sounds like everyone walks away unhappy. "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss
  22. Aww.. Couldn't agree with you more. My high-school sweetheart used to give me all kinds of kooky gifts.. He once brought me olives because he knew I liked them!! Obviously it didn't cost him much, but I thought it was just so darned cute!!
  23. Ah ha ha!! Thank god for porn and masturbation, eh?!! "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss
