Eeek, help. There's a really adorable 5 year old girl jumping on me and kissing my face, repeatedly. HELP!

M, I've got to go for a while. Bedtime play, bedtime story, kids go to bed. I'll be back in around an hour. Hope you're still here. If not take care and I'll talk to you soon.

No problem Alty , I'll be here in my corner :-)

Aunty Alty... I'm going to need your womanly advice on this one:

https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/relati...161688-27.html

Okay Sneezy, I gave it a try. Don't tell anyone, secret, but sometimes it's sad to be lumped in the same group as these females. I'm happy that I am female, but there are so many out there that make the rest of us look bad. Frustrating.

Having said that, remember that not all women are like her, in fact, I think there are more great girls out there than bad, unfortunately bad things stick in our mind much more than good.

You'll find someone great one day, someone wonderful, someone who will treat you the way that you deserve, this girl is not the one, nor is she friend material. Heck, with friends like her who needs enemies?

Unfortunately, she was a WONDERFUL person for about... 3 years. Really. She was a SAINT at my school. Anytime anyone found out I was with her, the first question was, "How'd you get her?" Honestly. Just not sure how things did a 180... in such extreme directions... in such a short amount of time.

She was possibly the sweetest most caring girlfriend I've ever had... not to mention, I often refer to her as the best girlfriend I ever had.. . interestingly enough, this has got to be the WEIRDEST breakup ever.

Eh.

Anyway, I'm off for a coffee break really quickly, and I'll be heading to the library. Be back in about an hour or so.

Alty, if you're not here when I get back, thanks as always... and good night!

Sneezy, honey, sorry but it's time to remember why you two aren't together. I never like telling people to think badly about others, but in this case I'm going to. I'm sure that those three years wasn't all fun and laughter, in the end it definitely wasn't. She pushed you to the floor, ripped out your heart, then she stomped on it. Time heals all wounds and you were almost ready to remove the band aid, almost, now she wants to re-open the wound. Don't let her, don't give her your power!

One day you'll meet the most wonderful women, you'll love her and everything about her, and she'll feel the same for you. You'll fight sometimes, you'll disagree, you'll kiss and make up, the world will be a better place because she's in it, and it will be the same for you. The ex will be a thing of the past. Trust me on this one, been there, done that. I dated a guy once that I thought was the love of my life, he ripped my heart in two. Two years later I met my husband and I haven't looked back once. We have our problems, what couple doesn't, but in the end he's still my best friend, my lover, my partner for life, you'll find that too, count on it.

That was sappy, sorry honey.

I'm not disagreeing with you, I promise...

But to be honest, the 3 years... was all fun and games. We never fought. We argued, yes, but we always argued with relatively mature communication and just talked it out and came to a happy medium.. . isn't that bizarre? How many college kids actually do that?

Regardless, I know what to do... just wanted some thoughts as to... why she's not getting the clue.. I mean... a week of not picking up calls... not responding e-mails... c'mon!!

Oh you women.

Hee, hee, yup we can be stubborn and pig headed. Yikes, I'm going to be in so much trouble with the gals.

See you soon sweetie. Chin up and NC, you'll be fine.

A female may not want to have a certain male as a boyfriend any longer, but that doesn't mean she wants to push him out of her life totally. She wants him somewhere in her realm, even just adoring her from afar. Females are taught to be attractive and desirable. NC negates all that. If he abides by NC, she's not attractive or desirable, has lost her luster.

That's so true Wondergirl.

How are you sweetie? Care for a beverage?

For some reason the vision in my left eye is really blurry all of a sudden. I'm worried. I'm going to call it a night and give my eyes a rest. I hope there's nothing wrong.

Talk to you all tomorrow.

Alty out.

NC!!
Sneezy, you are wonderful, keep up the good work, the hard good work!
Now git to yer studying!! ;)

Alty: rest up!

Starty: yes ma'am.

Wondergirl: that should be... a greeting card... or one of those "wondergirl's thought of the day"... quite poetic.

Gosh Alty, you sure are having problems with that left eye, so sorry love!
I am going to read up on some cool AMHD stuff, see you guys around!:) Night!

No worries starty... I'll be here for a while :)

Anyone around? I need a good vent before I explode!

Yes. I'm here starby. What's up?

Vent away starby

Here!:)

I think I am going to go choke my brother... seriously, I'm so mad at him I just want to shake him!

For those of you who might not know, my parents are snowbirds... live 6 months here and 6 months in FL. They drive back and fourth 3500 mls every yr. 5 straight days of driving at least 12 hrs. Well this yr both my parents have had a lot of health probs, my dad really shouldn't be driving anymore. I've driven with him just in town, and believe me it isn't pretty!
So, they are leaving this Thurs, and my bro has decided to buy some 18' boat and he wants my parent to go pick it up and tow it back for him. (my bro can't even afford his child support, but he can get a toy) My parent also bought themselves a new vehicle while down there this time, and they were going to tow one behind the other, and my mom was going to do most of the driving. Well now, since my Dad still thinks he's 20, and my bro must think he is too, my parents are going to drive 2 separate vehicles!

My mom has been calling me crying, and just stressed right out thinking about the trip, and my Dad pulling a boat behind him without her to watch other traffic.

So I called my bro and told him to get his own damn boat up here, and that he is stressing Mom and Dad right out! So he calls my Dad... Dad says it's no biggie, and my bro calls me and tells me... I don't know what your prob is... Dad doesn't have a prob with it... UUUURRRRGGGGHHHHH!

Sorry that was so long guys! ;)

Oh Starby, I can definitely see where you would want to ring your brothers neck!
Tell him if you can call him again, that they are just saying that so they can make him happy. They really shouldn't be doing this, no way no way!. Darn men and the "I think I can handle anything " mind! Damn it anyway! Sorry I almost went on my own rant!:)
Hang in there Starby, maybe something will come up mysteriously and they won't be able to do it! Hugs sweet heart!

My mom always call me and tells me what she thinks, and vents on me... but for some ridiculous reason, even though my brother has been screwing up so bad in the last few yrs. (cheated on his wife, got another girl pregnant, had to sell his house before the back foreclosed... etc etc.) my mom treats him like an angel. He's 40 yrs old for crying out loud. But my parents walk on egg shells around him and just can't tell him no... FOR ANYTHING!

That would get on my nerves real quick! Grrrrrr:)

Ah, the baby-of-the-family syndrome... I have experience in dealing with this.

... Can't you just tell your father you forbid him in doing this, as his actions are worrying you and your mother?

Thanks Starty!! It's just so darn frustrating. I did tell my brother ahead of time (well in a message because he never answers his phone) to try and find another way to get the boat home, and to try and make up some sort of excuse why Dad didn't have to go get it. I told him that he knows how stubborn Dad is, and he thinks he can do anything, so he would have to come up with a story.

Did he do that?. of course not. Before talking to me, he called Dad and said that I had called him and that I was worried. Well of course my Dad just chuckled and told my bro... well you know your sister, she worries about everything. Things will be fine!

Then I got an email from my mom saying... thanks, but it didn't work, your Dad will be towing the boat back after all.

He doesn't sound too clever starby , I'd strangle him as well. If your Dad seems to say to him its OK why don't you tell him to ask your Mum what she thinks.

Aw man... sorry to hear that.. . well, what else can you do now but hope things go OK?

He won't listen Sneeze. Like I said, he doesn't realise, well doesn't want to admit that he can't handle it. He's stubborn as hell!

Oh those damn men. This sounds so farkin familiar. I am so mad at your brother right now! LOL, Calm down Start!
Tell Mom to drive in front of not behind Dad. I suppose this is the best advice to give, she can control the speed and the easy access to parking lots and such! Goodness Starby, I am so sorry!

He did talk to my mom, Friend. My Mom has no backbone around my bro either though... she just backs down and says... well it will all be fine! It's just insane! She can't, or doesn't tell my bro the way it is. So then my bro thinks... oh it's just Starby over-reacting again. That's not how Mom really feels... Starby is just making this S#*T up!

Thanks you guys! Yeah, I guess I'll just have to hope for the best. Mom did say she is going to make sure she drives in front, and she is going tomorrow to buy walkie talkies and new cell phones. It's just when they get into places like Atl, or through Nashville,. all of the crazy freeways and such, it might not be so easy for them to stay together!

I know! I drove down there yrs ago following my mom, in a big truck, and we lost each other completely!

And now with all the tornadoes and floods in the places they have to go through just makes it so much worse!

Sneezy... will you flatten his tires or something when they get to Atl? LOL

There's a free boat in it for you! :D

LOL, Starby, I say tell your mom to sell the boat and then send the money to his kids!

LOL... nice one starty , I agree :-)

Good Idea Starty!. wish that were possible!

Ok... got that out of my system... well kind of... well not really, lol But thanks for listening to my rant you guys!

So, how is everyone else's night going? Or Day, Friend.

Pretty good so far , 1 hour to go and then to the Pub for a few refreshments :-)

I cleaned house today and I worked tonight, got home at 10 and I am not sleepy but know I will not want to wake up if I don't go to bed. See that is the problem with working nights! I normally am a 9 or 9:30 bedtime girly, but the nights I work, well I can't get settled or tired until about midnight or even after. I need to do something about this!
It leaks into the other nights that I don't work now... HELP ME!! :)
