  1. I would assume it'd be the person who works as a temp or something? I used to work as a temp, some weeks I'd get work, others not, sometimes it'd go for months... sometimes I am unemployed all together.
  2. yeah its more I have to then want to, as I said my job requires me to work weekends. Jobs are becoming more demanding of ones time, and in a town like mine where unemployment is very high, if I quit this job, there won't be another for me. (and this job is terrible) a lot of people have a normal 9-5 weekday job but we can't be all that lucky- I can't move because I get lousy hours and terrible pay. Life has not dealt me a good hand, and one cannot assume it has dealt an ideal hand to everyone.
  3. so what's the issue, exactly? he's not LDS? love is a hard thing to truly come across in this life, and to throw it away because he's not the same religion (but is fine with the kids being that religion and shares your values) I've never met anyone I had any real connection or more then one or two things in common with (not even bringing up beliefs) I say you have a winner
  4. thank you... nice to sometimes see a bit of kindness I can't change who I am or how I think and believe. Maybe I am just not good enough in the end, I donno... but that's me. Do you think, down the road you can come to be fine with it? ask yourself that
  5. moving is an option though I do not have the money to do it (moving back across the province -that is Ontario- is expensive) my job pays me the lowest a job can legally pay someone, and no minimum hour guarantee so there is no going down the peg- this is the bottom rung!
  6. my job requires I be available on weekends, any retail job usually requires that. There ain't no other jobs here-and it took me months to get this. One can say "get another job that don't require you to work on Sunday's" but not everyone is graced with such opportunities. What do you say to them? The missionaries never mentioned that to me, when I was working in the corn (which was an every day deal). Nothing would please me more for a job that is on the weekdays, but those are becoming harder to find, least for me.
  7. no it's more the fact I don't like to dwell on the past, I'd feel the same way if she was a former smoker, partier, whatever. Also my views were shaped by how I view marriage in and of itself. I am not a cut and dry person. And just because I feel differently towards it doesn't mean I live it. (I did have sex once-but ultimately I regret it because I didn't love her). I've seen a lot of people make very poor choices when it comes to sex, and while growing up I did long for that life, I am glad- in the end- I wasn't a part of that insanity. It is important, regardless of what you believe-and I can agree with you there.
  8. sometimes, I get the impression there are people more hung up about the past then others. The only girl I somewhat dated had many partners before me, and it never bothered me in the least.
  9. eventually I will get a case for them. For now they are on my tv stand
  10. Keeping to the spirit of the thread, I got a cheeseburger and found a Precious Moments figurine at a thrift store. Then it rained.
  11. yes all those are reasons as well...so you and I are both right... how did my response get above the post I was responding to?!
  12. or because they have no other ways of making money
  13. I'm not all up on the hip terms of these days And yes, I remember the terms for young kids dressing that way was "prostitots". I never intended to make poor Lakumi look trashy. In the stories she has a competent idea of human fashions (she finds it a subject of interest, as faeries normally never wear clothes). That and I like to think I have a competent idea on fashion...for dolls.
  14. she's supposed to be about 12 (well looks wise in physical form, Faeries are immortal essentially) the dress is supposed to be longer but I have seemed to have made a faulty measurement... btw what's a hootchie mama?
  15. lol, they're normally just called ball joints or doll joints (also what if its a boy doll?) Makemake wears shorts, though that outfit is a temp thing, makes him look like he's from the Village People... and his outfits should look like Michael Jackson's lol a one might assume, dresses are easier to sew then pants- sleeveless dresses being the easiest
  16. maybe one red and one green? I mean faeries have no concept of modesty or the like but its less about a character in some book I wrote and more so what looks good on a doll Lakumi is a doll first and a faerie second lol
  17. Tim Hortons is beginning to appear in the US, I saw one in Detroit. They look completely different down there though.
  18. Cause we all have little doings that don't really justify their own thread. Today I was out, after going to Tim Hortons (think a sort of fast food-café thing that is literally everywhere in Canada-where I buy frozen lemonade every so often). After which I went to the park with Lakumi (the doll) who was in a new dress, which I begun to realize it was far too short for her. It's a strawberry pattern and thought it was very cute. I don't want to sell it, perhaps it could be a long shirt, and I could get some matching/similar pants? I donno (I'll post a picture later) so that was the randomness from my day... what about yours? http://imageshack.com/scaled/640x480/689/qrbn.jpg see what I mean?
  19. they never told me that, maybe they knew my anti social nature. some people can read that in a person
  20. that's the one I went to... didn't understand the Priesthood thing but I assumed I wasn't supposed to yet
  21. why? I appreciate being able to speak, but as far as what language I am speaking... yeah appreciating that isn't at the top of my list
  22. well I'm not gonna argue the whole having sex with only one being like marriage, because that goes into religious arguments and those never end well... I'm not a fan of English, wish I knew another one
  23. these things are things I thought when I was a child, I obviously don't think that in all serious now. Growing up religion was just stories I heard and I thought of weird things to explain it all to myself. Obviously now, as a grown man, I don't seriously think God is that way. But the convo went that way so I shared some childish beliefs I had
  24. I don't really see why the word matters, especially since other languages probably don't have this problem. English is a mess of a language
  25. I donno, I don't see God as the having weird technology sort, I imagine it more like Hokuto Shinken, where he, basically pokes a point on your head and you forget an amount of time, determined on how hard the pressure was. Or like Q from Star Trek where he just snaps a finger and he makes it so
