  i was having a wonderful lesson on my horse, and the trainer noticed something wrong, and said barb what 's the matter with your face?.

  i said i don't know, well he ended the lesson.

  Dude, that was so totally not a funny line!

  Well, if I made you laugh, I reckon it was worth it, even if it wasn't my original intention

  headline: jan 18, 2001. bush: 'our long national nightmare of peace and prosperity is finally over'.

  washington, dc?mere days from assuming the presidency and closing the door on eight years of bill clinton, president-elect george w. bush assured the nation in a televised address tuesday that "our long national nightmare of peace and prosperity is finally over.

  "my fellow americans," bush said, "at long last, we have reached the end of the dark period in american history that will come to be known as the clinton era, eight long years characterized by unprecedented economic expansion, a sharp decrease in crime, and sustained peace overseas.

  One of whitehouse.org's less heavy-handed pieces, I take it?

  I certainly loved their Bush/Cheney posters. Kickass!

  Xena, I really do dig the fact that you're being sensitive. Maybe what you're saying is true, and I'd hesitate to call someone names just based on their actions as told by one person, but this story is sooooooo familiar...I've heard it again and again...the woman even refused to get help!

  That I would've taken as prima fascia evidence of simply not being interested in maintaining and nurturing the relationship.

  Relationships are about balance. There is very little balance in this relationship, from what I can see here.

  And I know exactly what kind of person is being referred to by Descender. I've seen it before.

  It's TROUBLE!!!

  Descender, I think you should get a cat too...but seriously, the guys here are giving you excellent advice. Why don't you show HER what it's like to be on the receiving end for a change? Give her some of her own medicine. Cut her off PROPERLY - zero contact, for at least a month, then see what she has to say.

  I'm willing to bet money she's going to be begging to come back.

  Display some SPINE! If she corners you, tell her that she's destroying your life, and you need time away from this so-called "relationship". DO NOT let your words become heated. You are cool and in control the whole time this is going on. You are the mature one - act like it! Show her that actions have CONSEQUENCES, which is something it seems this woman doesn't understand. ACTION = REACTION, etc.

  To look at things from the inverse perspective, if I were a woman and my partner started seeing other people then I would be mighty pissed! It's common decency, for crying out loud!

  And if she starts saying things like, "I love you!", ask her to prove it.

  That's when your life will start becoming mucho interesting!

  This thread is so OT it hurts, but I guess it's kinda less OT because of the Witness connection. Witness men might be taught that they are above women and all that other sexist crap, but what you're never taught is how to have a proper, healthy relationship with a woman. This is where guys like Maverick and Nos come in. They give good advice!

  I completely agree with what Maverick said. Don't reward this woman for playing with you like a cat toys with a catnip-toy!

  She'll only do it again! I've seen this happen time and time again to my friends.

  From the sound of it, this woman doesn't deserve you.

  Find someone that you can trust, who loves you, not someone who treats you like her own personal toy that she can do whatever she wants with.

  Liberate yourself! See other women - be more active socially. Don't curl up into a little cocoon. Soon enough you'll find a wonderful, warm, intelligent woman - just keep on looking. Be persistent.

  And then one day, I guarantee you, she's gonna come back when she realizes what she's missing out on, and you'll already be in a REAL relationship with a REAL woman! Not a player of games!

  There are too many great women out there to waste your time with one who treats you like this.

  They were doing a hell of a lot more than just keeping an eye!

  That's like when you bust the plumber doing some interior grouting on your wife and he says, "Aw, shucks, man, I was just keepin' an eye on her, honest to God!"

  here's an awake!

  cover that tries to give the impression that the demand for bloodless surgery comes from other than the dubs (strange that they should try to find support for such a "scriptural" doctrine by saying "everybody else is doing it!

  here is the "blank":.

  What If The Bible Were Reviewed In A Modern Day Magazine?

  ?the bible ?

  is quite a publishing phenomenon.

  its initial release was during the reign of king james, a noted historical figure who would not be allowed into most western homes today, as he was known for not taking baths more than once a month.
