You've got serious issues, as you know.  This is a no brainer.  You need to deal with yourself before you try to deal with someone else.  You need to get rid of the guy.  It sounds like he could use some "me time" as well.

 He's smart.  I'm pretty sure you can still show your support and not jump in a freezing pond full of pee pee and disease.  Every year a galpal of mine jumps in, and every year she becomes ill.  Coincidence?  No flippin way!

Every email I get from my mom is about the Bengals and all my friends back in Cincinnati constantly update their facebook statuses regarding the Bengals games. It is really nice seeing them do well for a change though. They always have some really great players (Ocho Cinco is pretty sexy haha) so it's nice to see them finally get their stuff together... make that stadium worth the tax payer money. haha

I too think Ocho Cinco is sexy and funny too. I love the story of Cedric and how he turned his personal life and career around after getting kicked out by the Bears. I hope they make the playoffs.

 I live in Columbus.  Most of my friends are huge Bengals fans.  I happen to be a steelers fan myself.    I am glad we don't have a NFL team here.  We already have Buckeye insanity in this town.  It's enough to make my head explode, especially with the Michigan game on Sat.   

Bengals are playing really well this year now that everyone is out of jail.  Good for them.  No doubt it's a nice change!  Though, if I have to hear "who dey", one more time some one will die. :)

Health & Support Health Questions after loosing weight Nov 18 2009

Original Post by flashdance9:

 It's ashame OBVIOUSLY most women on this site are very sensitive about their personal health and weight and having responses telling you to "just gain weight and eat more" IS rather annoying..I can have many people back me up on that.  Especially when that is not the issue.

Actually, your weight IS the issue.  As is your mindset.  Jane's post was purely factual and logic based.  Your initial concern is regarding hair loss and circulation, which is a direct result of your weight loss.  She basically told you to use the tools you have at your disposal and gave you useful information regarding the effects of malnourishment. 

Frankly, if you were offended by her post, it's pretty much all in your head.  Many of your topics have to do with the same problem, which is why she says the same thing over and over again.  The problem is not Jane.  The problem is your listening skills. 

Re-read her post, each sentence at a time.  Make a point to not respond emotionally.  Think logical.  Hopefully, you will see what the rest of us do.

I'm going to take the test today after work.  I just keep praying and praying. 

I know that tests may come up negative but can be false. I think I'm going to go home early and get it over with. I am just not able to concentrate at all. 

I just had oral surgery last weekend to remove wisdom teeth and I know that antibiotics can limit effectiveness of PC pills so I didn't bother starting a new pack before that...what was the point. Oh man. I have to take a test pronto.

 Take one test today, then take another test in two weeks.  Sometimes it can take awhile for the HCG hormone to reach the appropriate level needed to register on a pregnancy test.  This is commonly done to avoid those pesky false negatives.  Good luck.

It will cause a really big uproar in your household for a while, but unless ou want to live as you are you need to make a change in your life soon.

Kindle all the way!  I have the Kindle 2 and I love it.  I can download a book within 10 seconds and start reading it.  Or, if I am lazy the kindle will read to me (which is nice).  I can access Internet pages other then Amazon, so I can check my facebook page or email with out having to pay a monthly fee, which is a big deal. 

To Corellia- the new kindle does support footnotes, just fyi.  You can make your own notes, add bookmarks, and there is a dictionary built it to the kindle.  I am able to access most books that I search for, and never have I had an issue with a book recall.

I have no experience with Nook or Sony, but I love my kindle.  :)

I am all for death penalty for particularly heinous crimes.   Primarily, child rapists/murderers.  The best example would be the John Couey, a convicted sex offender, who kidnapped, raped, and murdered  Jessica Lunsford. This man was sentenced to death.  Raping and murdering a child should be an automatic death sentence.  Period.  I don’t care who you are, how bad your childhood was, what’s wrong with your brain chemistry.  When you rape and murder a child, you are done.

Shuber,

I love that book.  My love language is acts of service too!  Hubby's Love language is gifts.  So, ours are pretty close.  It can be hard what SO needs are bc we are so trained to show our love in our own love language.  I clean, pick out his clothes, help him get ready for work, etc because this is how I show my love.  He doesn't mind this, but when I bring home a small "thinking of you" gift, he goes nuts. 

BC you live a bit away, this one can be difficult.  I think love notes are a really good idea.  I LOVE those.  How often do you visit him?  Maybe when you do, you could really set it up, and then in btw those times you can stick with those notes? 

As for your needs, maybe you could read the book together once more to remind him that while he is trying to show his love by acts of service (fixing things for you etc) what you really needs is more talking/textings ect.  Sometimes we simply forget!!

 If I were pregnant, personally, I would choose to receive the vaccine.  The risks of H1N1 outweigh the risks of the vaccine.

 The problem is that they don't know the risks of the vaccine on pregnant women because it hasn't been tested on pregnant women.

 The only thing that's new/different about this vaccine is the strain of virus that was used to make it. That happens every year with the seasonal flu vaccine.  Here is a quote from the CDC:

"We have cut no corners," said CDC director Thomas Frieden. "This flu vaccine is made as flu vaccine is made each year. By the same companies. In the same production facilities. With the same procedures. With the same safety, safeguards. We have had literally hundreds of millions of people vaccinated against flu with flu vaccine made in this way."

What the CDC fails to mention is secondary infections from an original flu virus or patients with asthmatic history or other underlying health issues that were the cause of complications. Receiving an H1N1 shot would have been just as dangerous for many of these people as simply contracting it through daily contact.There is always a small percentage of complications and dropouts in the CDC studies (it varies by the class being studied). Usually, it's around 1% which doesn't sound like much, but they don't list the number of participants in the study or who conducted it. Funny, huh? There is a lot of money to be made in the field of pharmaceuticals and vaccines, both for the pharmaceutical companies as well as healthcare providers getting kick-backs for carrying certain products. I don't trust the CDC to be forthright with anything that makes them look incompetent.

I agree you should be informed before making a decision, not scared into it by selective information.

This site is decidedly conservative, but the articles' content is fact. The video is of CDC head being interviewed on CNN...

This article highlights the proven relationships to vaccine and asthma is children.

There are thousands of these articles and studies all over the world that fail to spark the interest of the CDC or WHO. I find THAT to be truly appalling.

 I think it's important to ask questions and weigh the pro's and cons with vaccinations.  However, your comments sound a bit skewed.  Being pregnant makes the immune status of pregnant women vulnerable to the virus.  More so then a normal person.  Pregnancy also compromises lung function(as most of us know from experience), which would make it difficult to ensure that momma and baby are getting enough oxygen. 

My boss has H1N1, and it took him out hard core.  Normally, the man is as sturdy as a rock.  If I were pregnant, personally, I would choose to receive the vaccine.  The risks of H1N1 outweigh the risks of the vaccine.  However, because I am not pregnant, I am still weighing my options.

According to the CDC, there have been approximately 700 reported cases of H1N1 in pregnant women since April. Of these, 100 women have required admission to an intensive care unit and 28 have died. In other words, 1 out of every 25 pregnant women who contracted H1N1 died of it. By any standard, that is an appalling death rate. 

Whatever you ladies choose to do, make sure you are informed with facts.

Actually, she doesn't qualify (at least now), because the prize is not given posthumously.  And if other requirements are to be believed, she wouldn't have qualified unless it was given in 1943 or 44.

 I know.  Too bad she died in 2007.  At least her efforts were made known world wide before she passed!  She is an example of how one person can make a large impact in the lives of people.  A true humanitarian.

A Nobel Prize has already been given to the people who pioneered the concept of micro-loans.   If you're talking about a different guy, I'm not sure following suit and expanding, although admirable, deserves its own prize.

 That's the same guy Santo.  I used him as an example of the types of acts/people the Nobel Peach Prize should be awarded to.  Irena Sendler, the polish woman who saved 3000+ children in WW2, would be another example of the types of acts that would qualify for the Nobel peace prize. 

I have heard that Obama was nominated in Jan/Feb of this year, which would be a few weeks into the presidency.  That is ridiculous.  Obama is a nice guy, but there are other nice folks in the world who are more deserving.  It's just a political ploy, which is frustrating.

I guess I find it interesting that this is all about the OP's perception of a work ethic. If it were a 'stay-at-home mom' would we be making the same snap judgements?

 Right, but she cannot expect him to change.  He may change, and he may not.  If he does not change his behaviours/passive aggressive nature, will she be okay with that?  It sounds like she doesn't want to marry him AS HE IS.  For the record, it is very difficult for a passive aggressive to change, from what I have seen/experience.

Not being judgmental.  Just trying to understand her point of view.  She brought up religion many times in her OP.  If it’s her faith she is worried about, well you cannot undo children!  Did this not concern her when she had he two children?  It is just confusing.  I feel for the OP, because I have similar beliefs.  And, I can see myself in that situation and wanting marriage.  However, at the point she is in now, I would really really think hard if marrying this man is what she WANTS or if it is because of her RELIGION.

"AND WHERE THE HELLLLLL..did Cain and Abel's wives come from if Cain and Abel were the children of Adam and Eve and their wives werent?"

In Genesis 5:4 the bible says,

"And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters. "

So, it makes sense to think that Cain's wife could be one of his sisters.

"God is a FORGIVING God.."

If you are studying the Old Testament, you may feel that that God in the Old Testament is more vengeful, awe-inspiring, I will smite you type rather than the Forgiving God that most Christians now see him as, and is depicted in the New Testament.  You are likely thinking of the plagues of Egypt, Sodom and Gomorrah, King Nebuchadnezzar, along with David.  Remember, this is before Jesus.  In the Old Testament, God’s chosen people were under the law. No longer do we have to make our own atonement for sin as they did in the Old Testament because it has already been done for us.

There's a book called The Gift of Fear by Gavin De Becker and it's about trusting your instincts.   We tend to call ourselves silly or paranoid instead of trusting our intuition.  We also ignore our instincts to avoid seeming rude or unfriendly.  After reading this book, I developed a healthy relationship with my fear and started putting my own safety first. 

A year or so ago, I was leaving a supermarket and a group of five guys was following me, walking a little too closely for my comfort - practically on my back.  It was late at night and I was alone.  I didn't know what they were up to but it made me very uncomfortable.   I turned around and said, "Back off!" to let them know that, even though I was afraid, I was not an easy target.  A couple in the parking lot came over to check on me and the guys ran off. 

I agree, though, that some people are just creepy and probably aren't out to hurt someone.   I don't immediately start yelling at someone if he or she creeps me out but I'm not afraid to tell someone to leave me alone.

EDIT:  typo

 I'm going to read that book.  Thanks for mentioning it.  I've never felt like this about a person/individual before.  We were in a public place!  The only thing I could think of when talking to him was "get away from this guy.  NOW."

I think body language is very subtle and we do react to it.  But usually when I encounter some one creepy, it's because they remind me of someone else, who proved to be a bad person.  Men who look even a little like my ex husband scare me.  Maybe it's not fair, but I do back off and avoid these people.

 

 I agree Claire.  While we are listening to what a person is saying, we definitelypick up little cues here and there that expresses what a person is really feeling/thinking.  You have to be extremely aware of how your body communicates in order to hide/cover how you are really feeling.  Most cannot.  It may not be something that we directly recognize; however, out subconscious does.
