opinions please
by Ellie inwould you all please give me your honest opinions.. if you were in a relationship with someone who through alcohol had let you down badly in the past, how would you feel about them going out a lot?.
how much freedom would you give them?.
would you think it reasonable for them to either go out without you once a week, sometimes staying out all night but certainly till very late?.

Ellie,
So sorry. Listen, just worry about that baby right now. Deal with him in a few weeks. But just so you know you're not alone, yes, I would be pissed. He should not be going out when you're that close to giving birth, and they say an alcoholic should never take another drink once they come clean. Has he gone into therapy? AA meetings?
But again, worry about that stuff in a few weeks.

by kittyeatzjdubs inok...so i was cooking dinner last night and suddenly became nauseous and threw up 3 times.

I've often thought this, but it turned out to be the beginning of years of migraine headaches. The "aura" that you are about to get one is that you throw up. Then comes the yucky headache.
Did you take the test yet?

Ever had someone threaten to kill you, and mean it? Just happened to me.
by wanderlustguy ini just had it happen for the second time in 3 years, today.
the first one wasn't that bad, because the guy didn't scare me.
the one today...i think might really try.

Oh my God, that is so awful. Please, please do not stay in that office alone. Just have someone work there with you. I do not think you should carry a concealed weapon, because I've never heard of anyone using it in time, and if they guy comes back, I'm sure he'll be even more prepared. But then again, it's up to you. How about a dog? I know a guy who works alone driving around collecting rent money frompeople who are late with payments, and he takes his big dog (no pun intended Big Dog) everywhere. Anyway, I do hope you get that restraining order. Thinking of you.

That's cute, Crumpet.
Well, I was asked that question on my interview and I gave the stupidest answer. I was 23 at the time and a total doormat (as I sort of still am) so I said something like, "Well, I usually get along with everyone pretty well, but if there were someone who didn't like me, I guess I would talk to them and try to resolve the problem. "
"And if that didn't work?"
And I say, "Uh, I guess I would smile at them in the hallways and stuff until they came around."
I mean how stupid is that??? I've gotten worse at interviews too, now that I know what the answer they're looking for is, and I just want to be honest. I absolutely hate interviews, so GOOD LUCK to ya on Monday.

Do you believe in miracles?
by hibiscusfire in.
i believe in miracles.
even the birth of a new born is a miracle.. there is no such thing as luck.. hibiscusfire

No, of course I don't beleive in miracles!
Yeah, a few patients live longer than the doc says, but what about all those other patients who've been given a poor prognosis, their faithful loved ones praying so hard, the entire church praying, and yet the worst still comes. I work in an ICU, and it is rare that any type of "miraculous" type of thing happens. Wow, the patient's heart rhythm came back after a minute of nothing. Oh, but now they're braindead and die two days later. Ya know?
Anyway, it's nice that some do beleive, though, as long as it doesn't hold them back from other things in life.

by misspeaches ini want to take my boy on a date tonight.

I like the picnic idea. Pack some wine, or his favorite snack/meal. Go to a nature reserve, or the lake/river/ocean (I'm too lazy to look up the part of the world in which you live...) Watch the sunset, it's free. End the night with a dessert out at a place you've never been if you're in a big city. Or the pineapple idea is cute too...
Horrible life: I love that free cards and flowers thing.

Another one sucked in
by feelinglost inevery once in a while i can get my mom to give me the latest on what's happening with the people i used to know and/or be friends with.
she tells me they ask about me (yeah, right, why didn't they ask about me, or rather come talk to me, when i had stopped going to meetings before i got df'd?).
so anyways, she says guess who's getting baptized?

Helping others, is it an ego trip
by Satanus ina lot of people have a good nature, and naturally respond by helping another in need.
others see themselves on a mission of helping.
can helping others sometimes be a way of having influence over others?

I read somewhere a while ago that even Mother Theresa herself does her good works because she gets a good feeling about it. She does these things for the boost in self-esteem, the good feeling that will invariably come knowing you made a difference and if it weren't for you, the world would be a little less happy.
Maybe it was in a philosophy or sociology class. I think the point was that all humans are driven by selfish needs, and there is no exception. This always sort of stuck with me. I desperately wanted to serve in the Peace Corps or set up a hospital in Haiti or something when I was in undergrad. But then I would always remind myself "You're not so great, you're only doing this because you want that good feeling and the glory that goes along with self-sacrificing actions." Just like spending your summers auxillary pioneering as a teen instead of having fun. It sucks, but you have this little feeling inside that says, "I'm better than them".
