wow. screw that. if my boyfriend was sleeping over at a girls house, that would be the end of that.

What she said.

My husband and I had some crazies at the first apartment we lived in together as bf / gf. This one man lived below us who, at first, seemed really nice and friendly. He always stopped to chat and us, then occasionally we would bring us up some dishes of some really good, foreign dishes that he made. Then it started to get creepy. He would come up numerous times throughout the day for anything he could think of. If we were to walk out of our apartment for anything (run errands, get the mail, do laundry) he was there, almost like he was waiting for us or looking through his peephole. Him and his crazy girlfriend would fight at all hours of the night, and he would come knocking at our door to want to hide from her. Then magically, one day he got both of our cell phone numbers (not sure how. We didn't give them to him and their not listed.) and would call all the time.

We ended up moving after we found out I was pregnant. A few weeks after moving in to our new place, my husband gets a call from him saying he's in our parking lot and wanted to say hi. What?!?! How did he find out where we lived?? He said he got a peice of junk mail addressed to us with out new address but mailed to him! Huh? that makes no sense. We put up of another year of his weird acts before he suddenly stopped bothering us.

That's just one. There's more, but I'll give my hands a rest for now!

While I think it's completely horrible what you went through, I wouldn't be so quick to call him a shallow jerk. Wouldn't you want your partner to be physically attracted to you? People can't help who they're attracted to. That doesn't mean you're not beautiful. For example, my friend thinks that Vin Diesel is the hottest thing to have ever walked the face of the earth. I, on the other hand, thinks he's ugly as sin. I'm not attracted to him. That doesn't make me shallow. Some men find skinny women unattractive, and larger women attractive. It's a matter of taste.

I completely understand what he said was hurtful, but at least he didn't lead you on anymore. Just forget about him and move on. You'll find the right person who'll think you're absolutely gorgeous.

Hi. I'm Eileen!

I'll cheer you up: you and your daughter (i'm assuming!) both look beautiful in your profile pic! 

Thanks!

Pet peeve:

Walls of text. Paragraphs are good, people.

 Or how about those who don't use any puncuation either!

I am soooo mad that Godric killed himself. Why?!?! I was crushing on him big time. Figures ...... the two guys I'm crushing on: one is dead now and the other is gay (Lafayette.)

I love this show. I could be completely wrong, but I think eventually Hoyt will become a vampire.

Try everyday minerals. If you go to everydayminerals.com you can buy a "free sample" pack. The Pack itself is free and you only pay $3 for the shipping. You get three sample containers of three different shades of foundation you want; a container of blush in any shade you want; and a container of concealer in any shade. It's enough for multiple uses and you don't have to commit to a large purchase. Also, they're a lot more inexpensive than bare minerals.

I'll have to agree with the majority that it should be in between. But, if given the choice of an extremely large to very small, I'd probably choose the small. If it's too big, it's not going to fit and/or will be painful, and what's the point in that? At least if it's small you can work with that and try different techniques to get you going.

I use the shot AND condoms :) 

Which probably both come from planned parenthood.

Okay, I'm a little offended by this. So, by your standards, I shouldn't have been allowed to keep my child. My husband and I currently make less than $30,000 a year and have recently started to receive food stamps. But we are both attending college to further our education, and are smarter and better parents than most of the people out there. We're EXCELLENT parents!!

Finding a job now-a-days is hard enough as it is. Try finding one while raising a 4 year old, and going to school. There are no jobs out there that are going to accommodate your schedule. So, we scrap by until we graduate and start our careers.

I don't think income alone is a good way to determine who and who should not be allowed to have children.

Never said you didn't love your child or that you weren't a good parent.  I'm saying that you cannot AFFORD to raise a child healthily without taking your neighbor's tax dollars to pay for groceries.

When you have a child, you can't be selfish.  You put that child first.  ONE of you should go to college at a time while the other works a full-time job (general managers at McDonald's make over $30,000 if they do their job right), in my opinion.  I'm not trying to offend you.  I'm just saying, the world would be a better place if people who HAD jobs and were DONE with college were having babies.. not ones that sucked the life out of the government.  I'm in school and I work a part-time job.. there's NO WAY I would EVER EVER EVER EVERX1000000000 allow myself to become impregnated.   It's called responsibility!  Unless I could take care of my child WITHOUT sucking the life out of my country's tax dollars... well, I march right on down to Planned Parenthood and get my shots to prevent it.. and I do give them a nice donation so that I don't suck the life out of the program either.

For your information, my husband does work a full time job! We both worked full time when I became pregnant. But we decided that I shouldn't work anymore to raise our daughter instead of handing her off to some stranger to take care of her. Besides, daycare costs as much as I was making. And it was either was my mediocre job for the rest of my life, barely scrapping by, or going to college to further my career and make more and contribute more to society.

I'm not sucking the life out of the government! I collect a very small amount in food stamps. It's not like I'm in every government program there is while doing nothing with my life.

And I'm sorry, are you a virgin???? If you have sex, you take the chance. I WAS on birth control when I got pregnant. I took the precautions. But the fact is, if you have sex you take the chance of getting pregnant.

You must be young because you sound really ignorant.

No doubt my incredibly wealthy parents did an awful job with me.. I'm not saying people have to make a million $ a year to be parents.. I'm just saying they should bring in an income of at least $30,000 between the two.. honestly, you NEED that much to live including housing, food, clothing, doctors, insurance, whatever.. it's just necessary.  I know people who make less than $30,000 and have a child and they are on every program the government has (WIC, food stamps, etc.) and it's just unfortunate that they can't raise their child without the government's help in EVERY aspect of their lives!

I believe "God" is an energy source. The same source that apparently has existed before time began, protons and neutrons are "God". I don't see "God" as a person or being but matter in which all life is created. Earth isn't the only planet with life, something causes life to begin, whatever THAT is, is "God".

You don't need to worship it, or do right by it, it isn't alive or conscious.

I am not atheist or christian, I don't believe in the bible as I don't believe in any other mythology book, though some of their stories are interesting. I'm not really a fan of any "God" that kills more people than "Satan". Y'know, like Zeus for example, he's a pig. I don't believe in heaven or hell, I don't really believe in souls. I like to BELIEVE people and animals have souls, but deep down I know we/they do not. When we die, we die. When an animal dies, it dies. When a plant dies, it dies.

I also believe all life is equal. I do not think I am above, for example, a plant. It is just as much apart of this planet as I am. And just as important.

I believe creationism should be left out of science class and put into it's own class as an elective for students to take if they want.

 

 i think we think almost the exact same way! though i do think that the energy in us and everything has to go somewhere after we die, which is why i do to some extent believe that there is something after death. i just don't buy the whole white clouds pearly gates business.

i do think whatever it is, it's probably not good or bad, it just is, and i'm not afraid of it. i suppose to some extent i believe in reincarnation, because the energy has to go somewhere, so why not into another new life form?

i usually identify myself as atheist with pagan leanings.

I believe the same thing. I believe our energy goes somewhere when we die, but I'm just not sure if we are conscious of our energy "life form" when we die.

Have you started buying everything for your future pain-in-the-butt? ( I kid! I love my little monster!) That stuff is expensive!!!!!!!!!! You may not like the party, but it's worth all the stuff that you're going to need like diapers and onesies.

If you don't want people buying you stuff you think you'll hate, ask for gift cards to Babies R Us or Walmart or something. And just have a get together. Not neccesarily a baby shower.

Alot of slang bugs me, I don't get like, super annoyed by them, but they make me wanna do this: when I hear them. :P

One that bugs me is "alot." A lot is always two words. For someone who is a "grammer nazi" like you, you should know that. LOL.

Also, "alright." It's "all right." Again, always two words.  I saw someone the other day behind me in line with a shirt that said, "Everything is going to be alright." It drove me crazy!! I wanted to say something, but I held my composure.

They aren't phrases, but they drive me crazy.
