    Ah! Ok, I knew the word, through its sound though. I didn't recognise it as 'mile-age', the 'counting' of miles and was reading it as having the sound 'meelage' :p Thank you both! :D

    well now good morning all!!


    I see you sunny!


    you know... this is just a really random thought... but I always dreamed about getting married to an islam, or an arab, or ANY of the middle eastern men... of course in my dream they are the ideal, polite nice guy, who takes care of his family, and has lots of money.

    but no :P I married a poor mexican ;)

    funny how our fantasys and realitys vary huh?

    Well, see, my favorite types of movies, are the lifetime movies and the romantic movies and such (I like ALL kinds of movies but those are my favorite)

    And I had seen a couple movies when I was younger about an american woman meeting and marrying a middle eastern man, and (in the movie) it seems to me that these men are far more responsible than american men, and I am a bit... ok a LOT of a MALE chauvinist (im a girl :P just a weird one) and I like the type of man/woman relationship in the middle east, where the man makes the decisions and takes care of his family, and my only job would be to cook clean raise my kids and care for my husband. (and in china and japan as well) (not to mention I find middle eastern men to be quite attractive.. )

    Lets be honest here, in america, its hard to find a man like that, unless he is this way due to a BDSM lifestyle.

    sorry im just bored and wanted something to talk about lol

    Wow, that would not work for me at all!

    I would not be able to live with a man that thought I was beneath him. As for cooking and cleaning and taking care of the kids, I'm happy to do it, but not because I have to.

    When hubby and I first got married I was the bread winner, I was the career woman. When I got pregnant with Jared things changed and we both decided I'd stay home and raise him for as long as I could. It was tough losing my income, we struggled, but it was worth it in the end.

    Then both my parents died and shortly thereafter I got pregnant with Sydney. At that time we could afford for me to stay home with the kids.

    Now that both kids are in school I'm debating going back to my career.

    If I had a husband that wasn't okay with that, one of us wouldn't survive. :eek:

    I agree with every word of this Alty. I am so independent. I love my son more then anything but I can not stay home like that. I would lose my identity. But I respect those women that do and can. It can be hard some days.

    It is hard. I've never been one to be idle though.

    I do woodworking, I paint (oil paintings), I write. I always have something on the go, I'm not just a mom and a wife, I'm me, and I refuse to lose that.

    Being a mother is the hardest job I've ever had and I've had some really hard jobs. It's been worth it. At the end of the summer it's time to get back into the adult world. My kids are in school from 8:30am until 3:20pm, no reason for me to sit on my arse all day waiting for them to get home.

    I make tables, keyboxes, coasters, you name it. If it's wood I can make it.

    I've posted this picture before, but here are some of my tables.

    Bad kids. I can't leave you alone for a minute. ;)

    The 'pigeon poo' you are seeing Alty is the treatment against the last poo the pigeon had left. These are nearly gone though. Some more days of treatment, and the statue will be as clean and bright as if it were a brand new one! :)

    Mercedes? I don't know... :(

    Good one Stringer! :p
