Was that Matt Lauer on NBC?
It sorta didn't look like him too heavy and shorter......but they do have that series "Where in the World is Matt Lauer" from the Today Show every year.
this is a nice big open board, thought i'd throw myself out there.. recently i had been a part of the "e-jehovah's witness" board.
especially as i don't think i even care that much anymore.
well, 3 weeks after that she cheated again, with a different guy.
Hey, how can I take the double space off? Everytime I hit enter it goes too many lines down? I just want 1 line.
I know that! You hit the shift key and the Enter key at the same time and......
voila!
Welcome to JWD JamieL I read your story and feel so sad for what you've been through a lot for anybody to deal with. I hope you get some professional counseling even though you think you are okay I think it would truly help you in moving ahead with your life. You've got more on your plate than you realize and burying it doesn't work it always resurfaces when you least expect it.
As far as the religious stuff, please stick around here and read everything that interest you, you'll figure it out it really doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the WTS doesn't have the whole god thing right, IMHO neither does any religion, but that's just me. You'll find your own way if you keep an open mind and try not to see things as painted by the WTS. There is a whole great big world out there to explore don't confine yourself to religion. Just my .02.
Happy trails!
well today is my birthday.
and while that is normally a good day for me.
this one is not.. thursday my wife was layed off.
Chin up Jayhawk1. Enjoy your day and things will get better. Wishing you and wifey the best in 2007!
i thought i should write a big thanks to simon for this board, not only has it been a big eye-opener to me regarding my past and helped me realise how many people have been through the same stuff as i have, but it's through this board that i've met a wonderful woman, michelle (calico ethel).. michelle is beautiful, intelligent, funny and luckily for me has terrible eyesight, i feel very fortunate to have met her and hopefully (presuming i can keep on hiding her glasses!
) we shall be very happy together in the future.
she has rather recklessly and bravely agreed to move in with me and is moving over at the beginning of february.
"Love is in the air"
Awe how sweet! I wish you much love and happiness together.
JWD does have a way of bringing people together and for more than ah-hum discussion.
Still happy after all these years of meeting my sweetheart on JWD.
as many of you know, i have a stalker - a guy stalker.
he's been stalking me for almost five years now since i ended our friendship (which lasted 19 years).
the fact that the guy seems completely obsessed about me weirds me out a little bit.
If my stalker isn't a pedophile, he's going to control his son with blackmail.
I read his blog and I didn't get the thought not even one little bit that he is a pedophile. He is simply a father who loves his son and has chosen a blog to write it down. He most likely doesn't say those things to his son, most fathers don't which imho is a shame boys need to be told by their parents (both of them) they are loved and often. Fathers tend to show their love rather than verbalize it and they show it in manly way like providing for them things when a simple word or time spent together would do wonders for their sons.

Nos be careful that you aren't just being the flip side of him. The fact that you've brought this subject up here more than once leads me to think you are just as obsessed about him as he is you. I think it's really over the top to start labeling anyone a pedophile, obviously his way of expressing himself to his son isn't yours. I say that because of this comment I read of yours a couple of days ago, it took me aback:
There's only one person I say "I love you" to, and that's my wife. I don't want to hear those words from most other people, be it an Elder (yes, that actually happened), my parents, nor my best friend. However, if my best friend told me he loved me, I'd probably laugh and tell him to fvvv off with a half smile on my face.
It also feels wrong coming from my parents. I could care less about them.
Not sure about my boy. I might not say it back to him, but I'd let him know the feelings are mutual. If I had a daughter, I'd probably tell it to her.
Remember, it's okay to not say those words if the other person already knows.
I hope you can learn to say I love you to your children, sons or daughters it very vital that children know they are loved and told it daily. I'm not saying this to be mean to you but out of care and concern for you.
I wish my parents would have been more expressive with me and my siblings, it would have helped me immensely to over come the feelings of not being loved or lovable something I still to this day struggle with.
Hugs!
a stay at home dad posted on craig's list that he was looking for platonic email correspondance with a lady, someone to talk about life with, insights into relationships, a reason to turn on the computer in the morning et cetera....... my fiance occasionally finds herself seeking relationships with select people online and getting into soulful conversations with them.
she feels that people can be their truest selves in these moments.
to share the quirks of life with random fellow americans is somehow thrilling to her.
She stands by the opinion that good judgment, paired with common sense can keep these types of relationships positive.It is my opinion that developing relationships online like that can be dangerous. Who knows who this guy is. What are his intentions? Will he become a nuisance? I even feel that online relationships like that are negative in that they are not reality and they can rob you of life.
She wants to write to him. I have said no and have tried to implement the subjection issue which is a little shaky at the moment.
Just trying to get a concensus. Thanks!
From someone who has maintained an online relationship with a man for nearly 10 years, and yes it's always been strictly platonic as we both and I think this is the key, you both must be on the same page with intent.
We've exchanged many, many perhaps thousands of emails telling jokes, sharing family pictures, family stories our joys our sorrows. He was a strength to me during my divorce, I was a strength to him during a loss of a mutual online friend. We've spoken on the phone several times. I've spoken with his wife, he's spoken with my husband. I tell my husband the funny jokes he sends me via email. We've sent each other things through snail mail as well. This is a very wonderful friendship and one I cherish and value. I would never want to loose it and to cross the line as it would would harm that wonderful friendship. I would never want his wife or my husband to view our IM's or emails and see anything going on between us but the friendship we share.
Ten years of this friendship and I think we've passed the test of where we stand with each other. There is no emotional affair going on I have a perfectly wonderful marriage and so does he, he shares with me normal everyday things and is an encouragement to me as I am to him with common interst. We met on a bike site years ago and continue to share that comonality. We also have gone months without contact due to our busy lives, I'm not slighted one bit and neither is he, we catch up from time to time and it's just like old times. Eh, maybe it's maturity at play too we are both old pharts plus he is a gentelman through and through.
1. No secerecy
2. You need to speak to him as well as her
3. If she meets him IRL you should also be with her
4. Her time with him online shouldn't be at the expense of neglecting you
I hope that helped lay out some guide lines. Remember trust is the key ingrediant to a lasting relationship.

Well I confess rebel8 it wasn't me! LOL
I do want to compliment you on your totally awesome art work on the Christmas card you sent us is! I've framed it as it goes so well with my "theme" picture frame in my entry way.
Thanks!
i've been feeling like a slug.
the antidepressant that i was taking wasn't working.
the doctor couldn't give me another steroid injection for my migraines because it caused my blood sugars to go sky high and made me suffer from steroid induced mania; and then after it started leaving my system, i had this really down feeling.
So what works for you?
(((((Melinda)))))
What works for me is a bubble bath. Long hot soak, candles, soft music and a bottle of chilled champagne. Somehow I always feel better after.
Can't afford the doctors, can't afford the therapy, can't afford the meds but a few cents worth of cheap bubble bath and bottle of the bubbly work for me.
I'm not saying this is the route you should go, I totally understand there are other things to consider and if for one minute I felt I was needing serious help with any of it I would seek it. I hope you find a solution, but in the meantime try a hot bubble bath and just relax.
