I might just have to do that Happy Xmas to you too Shroppy!!

I agree, and would add that you have to invest yourself emotionally with someone who appreciates you. Otherwise, you can be nice all you want, but you're bound to get hurt. It's about respecting the fact that you shouldn't give your heart to someone who takes it for granted. I know it's easier said than done, but I do think that when you love & respect yourself you have a tendency to naturally surround yourself with good people.. Then when you give your heart to those people it's rewarded in kind.

You know the whole "nice guys finish last saying"... You can be a nice guy but still be a douchebag - it's not the fact that you're nice/polite/loving that is working against you IMO.. It must be something else. Not aiming this comment at anyone in particular, just pointing out that (as has been mentioned before), there IS a difference between being a gentleman and being a doormat.

That's exactly what it is. Sounds like he likes you. Yeah.. I mean, I thought I gave a decent enough blow-job, but evidentally I've seriously underestimated my talents "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

Couldn't agree with you more

Are you saying I'm over-compensating?? "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

Hee heee!! Thanks everyone

I think the picture and my HUGE grin speak for themselves!!!

You weren't around, so I had to use brute force instead.. "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

Think it might have to be duct tape.. Ahh duct tape.. The solution to all the world's problems!! The removaaaaaalll!!!! Owwwiiieee!!! Hmmm.. Owwiiee is right!! Still, it did the job!!

Awww.. You poor thing.. Losing a pet is always so much harder than you think it's going to be - it's like losing a member of your family. Just know that it's ok to grieve even though in your heart you know you did the right thing. Sounds like the little bugger really enriched your life You'll always have the memories..

Talk to your doctor. I read on the internet some birth control pills can increase your cup size. Could be a problem with your hormones. Mircea :) Don't know about that...I know that NOT takin' birth control pills, will definitely increase the cup size! Hmm.. Yes.. But there is the whole problem of the increased waist size as well..! Not keen to get back on the pill.. I got off the pill about 3-4 months ago - never felt happier. I couldn't *believe* what a difference to my mood it had made. I finally felt like myself again. I don't like condoms, but if I'm honest, it's going to be a long time anyway before I meet someone special and have a committed relationship and trust them enough to eventually go without them..

DUDE that SUCKS!!! I'm all for re-gifting.. But I don't think you should try and pass it for something you actually bought specifically for that person.. You should just be honest about it and say - I've got "x" that someone gave me - do you want it? And wherever possible you should try and avoid giving it back to the person who gave it to you in the first place!!!

Do you think we can all share in this endeavor? I've mostly been going bra-less, but for some things I can't get away without one because I have a piercing and I really don't want to take it out.. Back from the party.. Was a bit lame.. Haven't yet removed duct tape - am a little affraid!!

Think it might have to be duct tape.. Ahh duct tape.. The solution to all the world's problems!! The removaaaaaalll!!!! Owwwiiieee!!! Meh.. How bad can it be?? Edit.. Well, duct tape it is.. I'm off in a few minutes now.. Will let you all know how it turned out!

To prevent the nipples from being too protuberant!! Uhm, pasties? Think it might have to be duct tape.. Ahh duct tape.. The solution to all the world's problems!!

Just think of the billions of £ losses due to all those bankers who won't be able to concentrate on their work for the next 5 days whilst their boner refuses to heel!!

Ok.. I've lost a pile of weight lately due to stress, illness, etc.. :( I really didn't need to lost the weight, and I'm sure I will be ok again in a few weeks.. But here's the immediate problem: I'm going to a party this evening and had to go buy a dress.. Which made me realise I needed to buy a bra.. Which to my horror I couldn't do.. Apparently, they don't make anything smaller than an AA cup... I mean, fucking hell.. I used to generously fill a C cup.. It made me want to cry.. Didn't realise I'd deflated quite so much.. WAAAAAAAHHHHH!! I want my boobies back! "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

Or you could just go and buy a ready-decorated fake tree - job done! "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

A few things.. First, I don't know you or your wife so any advice needs to be taken with an appropriate dose of salt.. 1. COMMUNICATION IS KEY I don't know what the statistic is on failed relationships, but I would bet that the number one killer is poor communication. So talk to her. Tell her how you feel and why. Ask her questions. Don't come to conclusions on the basis of assumptions - you might be dead wrong. 2. IT'S YOUR FAULT YOU'RE LONELY You cannot rely only on your partner to give you everything you need in terms of human interaction.. It's a huge burden on someone to be the only person in your life that means something to you.. You need to make some friends, find some hobbies, etc. Basically, *you* are responsible for your own happiness - your partner is there to *share* it with you. I moved to England and for the first several months I felt like I had no one in the world except my SO.. It was lonely and sad, but it was my fault. When I ventured out and made some friends and started having my own life, the relationship also blossomed, because I was happier as a person and I wasn't putting all this pressure on my partner to be my everything. That's all I can think of.. Sorry if it's a bit harsh..

That is SOOO cute - I want one!! "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 think we need some pics of Mom so we can determine if she is fit enough for the climb. She *is* fit, and no you *can't* see mother-daughter pictures!!

It's cool - it's pretty hard to recognise me when I've got my full-face leather mask and gag-ball on "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
