Yep, that's where I got my link from.

Simon's long lost brother We should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes. -- John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

Where in my post did I say she was ok? We should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes. -- John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

I came across this clip from a Wife Swap episode....and all I can say is, "Wow". This guy, Stephen Fowler, is a real piece of work, and I would just die if my husband behaved this way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGXHXy4GVSw We should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes. -- John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

If a woman that you're dating drops you the minute you're supposedly "hotter" friend talks to her, I think you need to be dating a better class of woman. And probably finding a better class of best friend while you're at it. You're very young, hopefully as you mature, so will the people you hang out with.

**sigh** He's yummy.

Of course I said things before it got to this point. Just things never changed and that is why it got to this point. First it was the christmas break, then it was she got a job, but that job then finished for two weeks after only three weeks of on and off work, now it got to this point. Oh. Well, from your initial post, it sounded to me like you'd never said anything because you didn't want to risk adversely affecting the friendship between your partner and her friend.

I don't understand not saying something before it got to this point. It seems like it would have been much less destructive to the relationship to sit down and talk calmly when it first became a problem than to spend three months fuming silently. I believe it's possible to be direct without necessarily being confrontational, but I think it has to happen sooner rather than later when there is an issue. After three months of stewing, everyone wound up suffering in this case. Hopefully things work out anyway.

Wow Shermie is much younger and sweeter looking than I imagined.... We should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes. -- John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

If it persists, I would consult a "sport" doctor. R.I.C.E. = Rest, Ice, Compression, and Excercise(PT) (Google it) There's a good chance that the doctor will recommend a new set of shoes for you. Generally running shoes are only good for about 500 miles or 6 months of use. You also may require different shoes for running and the gym. A long time ago when I started running, as simular situation happend to me. The MD diagnosed Plantar Fasciaitis, and I eliminated the problem with RICE, a new pair of running shoes, and Toradol (A strong, but short term use NSAID (like Motrin)). It took me a few weeks to get rid of the pain, without recurrance. A running shoe expert from a marathon shoe store would be good resource for selecting a good shoe for you. If you decide to go that route, make sure to bring a well-worn pair of shoes with you to the store in order to see how your feet are interfacing with the ground. "Running Times" has an annual shoe review that you may be interested in looking-at before getting the shoes. These days, I respect the need for new shoes every 500 miles. 500 sounds like a lot of miles, but when you are doing 12 miles a day, they add-up quickly. My advice is FREE. Actually, it's Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation

Maybe so!!!! At least the worst of the worst didn't go on.....but it's still a really stupid format....only 3 from each round to go on?!! I HATE this new format. But so long Tatianna, not gonna miss you one bit! We should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes. -- John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

Regardless of what you call them, people need to understand their function or get the heck off of the road!! Ok, I feel better now. Time for happy hour. We should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes. -- John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

I went through a similar dilemma. I don't regret hanging onto it. I recently collected all of the jewelry given to me by old boyfriends (2/3 of which was for Valentine's day!!) and sold it to a jeweler....I got only a fraction of what they were worth for retail, but it got me through to the next paycheck without going into debt to make it. Getting your rig together is a lot of work. It will make it so much harder to get back into the sky when finances improve if you let it go now. And I don't know about you, but I find that managing to finagle a skydive or two does wonders for my psychological state. It's much cheaper to do so when you have your own equipment. As others have said, you can get by on an air mattress and a couple of pots and pans....that kind of thing is easy to replace at Goodwill. Lots of luck to you.

He's home. Probably in bed by now. We're very low key. In fact, our plans for tonight were not any different than they might be for any other Saturday night. I guess I just feel hurt because I think he was trying to make a point (albeit, probably unconsciously) that Valentine's Day means nothing to him. I find it hurtful because we've, up to this point, not given gifts for any holidays, instead opting for spending time together, which is more meaningful. Tonight he withheld from me the one thing we both deem most important, significant because of the date. It's not the end of the world, by any means. Life goes on.

I agree it's stupid to spend a lot of money for one day when you should be showing someone every day how important they are to you. My boyfriend and I agree on that. However, I guess we didn't agree as much as we thought on the subject. I thought we would take the opportunity to spend time together, order in, and cuddle up on the courch together. That was what he said he wanted to do. Instead, he decided to prove that it is, indeed, just another day to him, and blew off our plans entirely. Hope he feels good sitting by himself tonight. I don't ask for much from him. Silly me, I still thought it would be nice to spend Valentine's Day with him sharing a bottle of wine and a naked cuddle on the couch. Guess who's not going to be in the mood the next time HE wants to do that on an ordinary Tuesday? We should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes. -- John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

I have no idea what you're talking about. We should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes. -- John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

If she's got 20 cats, she's got a psychological problem. Unfortunately, she probably should be reported to the ASPCA or whatever entity exists where you live. There's just no way to take care of 20 cats in a single home the way they should be taken care of. That's just my opinion, I'm not an expert on the subject, but I've watched a lot of Animal Cops on TLC! We should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes. -- John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

Sigh. I've gained 12 pounds this winter...well, it started creeping up this summer. I have a small frame, so that's a lot on me. I am thinking of making myself weigh in in front of people every week, and posting the weight. Perhaps embarassment will motivate me to have more self control We should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes. -- John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

I know from personal experience that not every man's would reach that far..... Not that I'm saying size matters...... We should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes. -- John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

CONGRATULATIONS!! That's wonderful! We should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes. -- John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

I also dream often tha I get to the dz and have no rig, and there are none to rent. Pisses me off! We should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes. -- John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

Exactly. If you want to play with the boys, play with the same rules as the boys. We should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes. -- John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

My boyfriend has a teenage boy who plays ice hockey. Sometimes his team will scrimmage against an all girls team. The boys are not allowed to check the girls, but the girls can check the hell out of the boys, as much as they want. The funny thing is, most of the girls are much larger than the boys, at this age. I thought it looked really unfair when I watched one of the scrimmages, because the girls were knocking the boys on their asses and the boys could do nothing. So I guess in reply to the question, it all depends on the size and the situation.

So you're a girl huh? Either that or a really femme guy..... We should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes. -- John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

I had to google Stump Broke, but I still don't understand the reference..... We should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes. -- John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
