Who are you?

Lefty here Left handed people are in their right mind.

I got 90

Well as a Christian I believe God forgives us and gives us a new slate, when we give our lives to Him. I'm able to forgive myself believing a loving God has forgiven me first :)

I don't see it as being insecure at all; it's simply a way for couples to stay in touch with people, especially if one person is on more than the other. Ugh I am so sick of facebook, I see people posting pictures of things like the outfit they picked out for their kid for Easter or a new appliance. Really, who cares?!?!??!

I'm going to delete mine as soon as I can get contact info for long distance friends I actually want to stay in touch with.

Squeak I am doing great! But it has been far too long since I've jumped out of a plane :(

Cocheese haha I remember that thread...and many other ones. I was so young and naive and you can
definitely tell

Piisfish I think* I vaguely remember talking to you on the phone...so sure why or what about

I haven't been here in years and it looks like the SAME people are still posting, lol

Haha, thanks Squeak!

Well I can agree that most of "reality TV" is staged I think its just the voyeur in me that finds it amusing to watch. I do find humor in reactions of humans, especially when it comes to flying off the handle.

Riiiiight, seeing people heartbroken or angry is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO funny.

I think people need to undergo some serious counseling when they find any kind of pleasure or humor in hurting someone or watching them being hurt

You're probably not too familiar with most of my posts huh?

Most of what I'm talking about has to do with morals and rejecting the idea of "what's right for me personally is right."

Thanks for your responses guys.

The few jobs that I'd be really happy doing require at least a bachelor's degree, if not a master's. I never really gave grad school a second thought until I realized that's pretty much what it would take to do my dream job.

No I would not. I'm married. She is my wife. She is the mother of our children.

There is more to think about than the fun I might have at her expense. Things like the fun that may be had at my expense and at the expense of our kids.

I love you lawrocket.

Having a "who cares" attitude is exactly the problem.
We can't just go around doing whatevertheheck we want without facing consequences.

And I'm gonna shut my mouth ( or quit typing) before I send this to SC.

When you get married, you are committing yourself to that ONE person for the rest of your life. Introducing a third person into your relationship is asking for all kinds of problems.

If one person has a higher sex drive than the other, oh well; that doesn't give them license to cheat. There is more to life than having sex.

Thinking about my future, I'm considering finishing my psychology degree ( only less than 2 semesters) and possibly going to grad school in the distant future.

What's grad school like? Is the GRE REALLY that* hard?

I'm sure like me most of you who have gone to college at the undergrad level can agree that you don't really learn a whole lot. I'm wondering how much harder work it takes to do good in grad school.
I was on the honor role in college for the first two years,but of course those were mostly gen ed's.

So what's it like?

Oh girl you're not alone! Most of those things you mentioned are kinda shallow and are a waste of precious time. I've never been into most of that stuff either, but then again it may have something to do with my religious beliefs.

Anyway, if you're anything like me, you probably see the value in more important things in life, like building close relationships and spending time doing rewarding things like volunteering! Sounds to me like you need to love who you are, you are on the right path.

What type of metal is it? I've heard of people being allergic to certain metals.

Sorry you're having trouble with it, but thanks for bumping the thread so I could see your hot bod again.

Hahaha, thanks. Not quite sure what kind of metal it is.

BUMP!*

I'm thinking about taking my piercing out. I really like it but it's just not fully healing the way it should be. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Hmm, I don't know. My mother in law swears that MSG causes her to get sick, so she has to make sure wherever she is eating that they don't put MSG in anything.

It probably doesn't make sense to you because you're a man. Wink J/K Trust me, a woman can love her husband and care about him, and not respect what he does or respect his behavior. Make sense?

I don't have a penis and it doesn't make sense to me.

If a woman doesn't like a man's behavior or the things he does, why stick around? He's not going to change and there are lots of other men out there who don't do those things...

So you're saying one must approve of everything a man does?

What does respect have anything to do with religeon? Personally respect is tantamount in any relationship. Love and respect are two different things entirely. I love my fiancee and respect her because she lets me be me without having to change who I am to make her happy.

I was referring to a scripture that referenced respect, but edited it out.

I think if a woman feels genuinely loved, she will also feel respected. If a man feels genuinely respected, he will also feel loved. It's just a matter of which one is the dominant preference for men and women. I have no doubt that there are plenty of exceptions, but it's just a generalization.

(Sorry, I'll take my X chromosomes and shut them up now.)

Yep, I agree with this too; but I DO believe that for men it is respect, for women it is love. Any man disagree?

To clarify, I DON'T think love and respect are mutually exclusive of each other. I was simply wanting to focus on men and respect; the more I learn everyone seems to focus so much on love but forget to focus on respect. If I do all these lovey dovey things for my husband but yell at him or do something behind his back, I am not showing him respect which pretty much negates all of the lovey-dovey stuff. IMHO.

I'm the wrong gender to respond to your thread, but it's just so tempting to toss in my $0.02, that I'll try to type in a deep, masculine voice and see if that fools anybody. . . .

I think men and women both need love and respect, but I think they tend to need them in a different order. I think (sweeping generalization coming) women tend to want love first, then respect, and I think men tend to want respect first, then love. I agree that love and respect go hand in hand and if you have one, the other should be there as well. I just think the genders tend to gravitate to one or the other in a different order. In many ways, love and respect are two sides of the same coin.

I agree!
