it's good to know that i'm not the only one.

Please tell me that there are people in the church who can relate to this? Please??? As a single, 35 years old, woman in the church. I can honestly say I know that I have tried to find someone and am beginning to stop looking. I have only dated one guy in my whole life and we only had two dates. After I turned 30, i went to the regular family ward where I live. I have been inactive for about the last 4 years. I started going back to church because of my workplace. I was able to get my days off for Sundays and Mondays, so I have been kinda excited to go back to church. After turning 35 this past march, I realized some things. One, I am not ready to get married. i live with my sister, her hubby and 2 nieces. My "bedroom" is the living room and my futon bed. I can't drive because my eyesight is bad enough where I can't get a license. Unless I get corrective surgery. Two, I feel like I am "invisible". Seriously. men don't look at me unless I am at work and they need something. i am a bit on the round side but I am told I am "pretty". But I swear to Everything that is holy if some guy tells me that I have a "gentle soul" or that I am "good person" I am going to deck them. That is some guy code for "lets just be good friends". Yeck. 3, I have never really been a in a serious or any sort of relationship with a man. I don't know how to act around them, I am shy around people that I don't know but I warm up to most pretty soon after meeting them. 4, marriage. The church puts so much pressure on people to get married that it feels like I am being suffocated. a) i don't like being pressured and b) i will do it when I feel like it. I will get married when God himself tells me to do so. I would like the opportunity to find someone who actually looks at me and not past me. Someone that would be happy for being with me because of who I am rather than what I look like. Most guys, that I know, can't see past that. :unsure:

What I advocate is a president elected by the people of the United States of America.

You know what? I love Christmas, I do. I love Halloween, Valentines day, Easter but for me, Christmas was and has been always special to me. Unfortunate for me, I work at Walmart; in the Garden Center. Now for all those who have never worked retail or at Walmart or in the Garden Center let me tell you something, I love my job but at the same time....I LOATHE it. Why? I set it all up. I fix the shelving, put on the labels so that customers can see what the price is and fill it with merchandise. Halloween, and Christmas are my favs because I get to see what we are putting out before the customers do. I love that part but after that it is a nightmare from the lowest pits of Hell. Pretty soon, after the first month passes and no one buys a thing, it is nice and quiet and things are in their right places. But after that it is a nightmare and the part that I hate more than anything. Right now it is the week before Halloween, and in my local walmart that I work at.....it is not only busy( which i love because customers are buying) but the mess....every night I close and every night it is a mess, a disaster, like a hurricane came through and demolished it. Christmas you would think wouldn't be as bad. No, it isn't. It is just about the same. Except there aren't any costumes or friggin masks to pick up. No, it is other stuff. Glittery, broken pieces of glass and the most annoying is when people have to open and look at the Xmas lights. Even though there is a picture of them on the box. People are suppose to be more Christ like and nice to everyone. Not for me, people getting grumpy just because I don't have the right kind of wrapping paper or the right bow. Or the darn Xmas music that goes on and on forever and no one changes the songs and we start with the music well into November. For me, I try very hard to get into the Spirit of Christmas, I only get it it when I am peaceful and quiet at home.

What a disgraceful thing to do. The French are allies, why not TELL your allies what you did before they go into harms way?!?! They should be paying the widows and families of the fallen French soldiers for what they did not the fracking enemy....sheesh.
