  I'm afraid I'd be single for life

  by ohnightdivine in

  2. relationships

  this is quite embarrassing for me to share, but as a 30+ year old single female i have lingering doubts as to whether i can still meet a decent man and get married.. you all know how difficult it is for sisters to find an appropriate partner in the congregation.. and now, all the more so that i've learned ttatt.

  i still am bound by low self-esteem, and i do have trust issues, especially with men.

  i am very lonely and so i just keep myself busy with work to avoid depression (although it is also a great source of stress).. any other single females out there having similar thoughts?.

  Yeah and that comment about relationships being over rated? Only bad ones, you know?

  i use to hate when people who made goodbye posts on message boards.

  why would they think that just because you no longer post on a chevy truck forum or a los angeles lakers forum the world would crumble around those still left there.

  this place is definitely different.

  No TARPS Allowed (or large umbrellas).

  maybe this was already covered here.

  i've been absent a bit more than usual.. at qualcomm stadium, home of the chargers and the "special arrangement" with san diego which means they use the venue for free, you are not allowed to bring a tarp in the 80 degree sunshine, nor a large umbrella.. mercifully however, you may bring a small one person umbrella you can hold or perhaps vice to the seat, but if someone asks you to take it down, you are to oblige.

  san diego is freaking out over this i can assure you.

  Bring spray bottles filled with ice. As it melts, you can spray cold water on yourself and your charges.

  I'm 55 so I don't have that biological clock ticking. I am very selective. I know what works for me and what doesn't. I know who I can get along with and who I won't get along with. I turn down offers for dates most of the time. I can usually tell very quickly whether we'd be wasting each other's time. I have a good, platonic friend and honestly, most of my close friends are men. It would be nice to find a really great, holistic connection with someone that also includes chemistry and romance. I've had it before and honestly, it kind of ruined me for lesser connections.

  All the low self esteem messages you're playing in your head are a form of brainwashing. They are not true. Remember that when you go working against yourself. Don't work against yourself.

  Work on your self esteem. A confident person attracts healthier people, friends or romantic partners.

  Has anyone ever saved another persons life?

  i don't mean you advised them and they changed their lives around, kind of saving a life.. i mean right before your eyes, right now, you had to do something to save a person or they would be dead.. how did it make you feel?

  did it have any affect on you?.

  forty years ago i was working on a construction site and a back-hoe had loosened a large boulder.

  I took a knife out of someone's hand, who was about to stab another person. The person with the knife was unstable/mentally ill and other other person was was antagonizing her. Never really thought much about it.

  I've saved a choking person. Guess adrenalin just made me swoop in and do it. I just felt relieved and like I did what anyone else would do in the same situation.

  so the rc really sucked, but i made it through.

  the propaganda was mind blowing.

  i don't know if the crap will be available on the official website or not, but hopefully it gets leaked somehow.

  The WTBTS will use you until they use you up. You have the power to stop them from doing this. I know because I finally had it and I left.

  Every November, the MCBA or Michigan Competing Bands Association has their state competition at Ford Field. I got to see Julian's marching band compete and win first place two years in a row. Much better use of this arena and I'm sure tons more interesting and fun.

  Are Christians more or less likely to be in favour of stronger gun control than atheists?

  i have no agenda with this post, if anything i am suspecting the results will be against what i would want to hear as a christian.

  however im asking the question as i am curious as to the results.

  my personal position is in favour of a total ban but i do live in the united kingdom, however many of my friends live in the states.
