You have had enough "talk to her" advice. I only offer insight, thoughts... I am the independent-needs-personal-space in my relationship, though my situation is vastly different than yours and rather awesome. Agree with Wendy on the man-cave and submit there is such a thing as a "woman-cave", too. I also offer "hope" in that I have been living with the love-of-my-life for 9 1/2 years (been together 10) and s...l...o...w...l...y, but surely, I have needed much less "cave time" and needed far less personal space.

Agree...and with everything else you said. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

My motivations are sleeping well at night and/or feeling good about myself--no less selfish than the cheater, but validated by society as being the better way to go. To your point, I do not depend on such validation and my motivations are most definitely internal--wherever that comes from. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I laugh to myself whenever someone mentions "karma". I do not believe in it. Cheaters often do not get "what is coming to them" and do-gooders often do not get rewarded. I have a love-hate relationship with my conscience--I am happy I have a strong one, but it sucks sometimes to see peers get away with all kinds of shit and my performance be compared to theirs. I still do the right thing and not because I am afraid of "being caught" if I did otherwise. I just care--and have respect for myself and others--as much as that pisses me off sometimes.

My only (minor) complaint is The People of Pandora did not use their tails. Seems like if you are in the wild and have a prehensile tail, you would use it for something. I found_that_detail a bit unbelievable. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Verdict: WAY into it. So good! So good! So good! I eat my words and am so sorry I did not see this in the theatre, though I am still unsure about the 3D...it was perfect quality in 2D at home, though, and magnificent sound. SO good.

Fifteen years ago for me (at age 14) after having well-researched the options. Later in college, I took an advanced course and although they certified through NAUI, I was not without any of the base knowledge the other students had, and in fact I felt the advanced course was more of a "repeat" in that I knew most everything already, but I attribute that more to my PADI open-water instructor, and not the organization itself.

I have a little more than 300 jumps and have not jumped in--four years?--I do not know how long. For me, I still consider myself "a skydiver". I still believe I will once again start jumping regularly. In fact, I think about wanting to jump often, just not enough I would want to be jumping often enough to stay current (i.e. safe). I voted "once a skydiver...", but I have to be clear: tandems do not a skydiver make, imo. I once heard a guy call himself a "skydiver" because he has made three tandems. Before I get flamed, I submit there are probably a couple exceptions to my rule. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Oh yea, Cruz is a big fan. It is preventable 95% of the time, but that 5% makes nauseous. SO gross... Not as gross as as the occassional hairball Sabre vomits up. It is not the hairball that is gross to clean up. It is when you can see clearly there_was_a hairball vomit on the tile and no longer is, yet was not quite scrubbed up the way I or Bill would take care of it.

Unlike Quade, I HAD to see this the day it came out on DVD and placed it at the top of my Netflix queue. Lovely movie.

HSUS article. For those still intent on a purebred, there are helpful tips included. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

You sound like me, having lived in Florida my entire life and never been to the Keys. I met a woman recently who lived on the water there for quite some time and did NOT recommend it...sewage. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Just received the offer again. If you are interested, pm me a first name and email address. I submit that with my referral code to AMEX and AMEX sends you an email to apply.

Congratulations to you both!

Now, I feel left out. I have 11K+ posts, and only one warning to recollection by 'mama w/r/t my response to a poster who--imo--puts on a big facade. There have been posts deleted on at least a couple occassions, but from people responding to me that I never got to read. I respect rules, for the most part, and am not generally a mean girl. Having said that, I am aware of my ability to annihilate anyone who lights my one of my fuses. I try not to go there. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I was great in freefall from the start, but I sucked at landing gracefully. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I voted drunk driving. They are all unfortunate, but you asked which was worse, imo. I could make an argument as to why that is the worst, imo, but that is not that point you are trying to make. While I am pro-choice, I do not think the first option has much to do with the others. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

See, if you asked me, it would go: Who is that? That's Holly. We went to UF together. She is an event planner and her husband, Ted, is an engineer at Lockheed Martin. They live in Virgina Beach and have invited us to come stay with them, and I totally think we should because he is into extreme sports and I know you two would get along and I miss Holly; it would be another fun adventure and they do not have kids, either, so it is perfect!

It's funny, because I would ask "Who is that?" and he would give a name. I am all "No, I mean, who is he?" Who is he? That's Dave Todak. No, I mean who is he? Um. I want to say Dave, but that's not right, is it? is a bit how it went. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Boy and Girl should figure it out together and decide what fits them best. Having said that, the info given is: 1. "Boy and girl want to buy a place together." 2. "boy has probably 95% of the money" 3. "girl only has stellar credit" So, they want to buy together and she has no credit problems. Great! Do that. By they way, I am a little bothered by the addition of "only" in the statement regarding Girl's credit. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

That is what is so funny to me, I do not see how it would not at some point. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

So, Bill comes home after a round of golf, followed by eats and drinks, with old high-school friends he has not seen in a long time. He texts me a couple photos and when he gets home, asks if I received them. I had not checked so we looked at them together... I ask who everyone is and he has no idea what they do for a living, whereabouts they live, or anything other than he scored second-highest next to Keith and he is very happy about how well he played. What the hell did you guys talk about for six hours, Bill? "The game." Now, I am not much into many of the girl conversations I suffer through at get togethers when the boys separate from the girls, but...really?...you do not know what anyone does for a living or where they reside now? Seriously, you talked about the game for six hours? Wait, you are pretty sure Keith mentioned he is retiring from the Air Force after 20 years. Thanks for that morsel of information, hunny. It never ceases to amaze me. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.
