My problem is two-fold: 1) Working up enough energy to even care about dating again. 2) To say that I am "extremely distrustful of men" is an understatement. I'm still hurting over a broken engagement (to a non-member, long story).

As far as I know, which isn't much, the company does NOT typically show letters of reccomendation to the applicants.

Jigsaw puzzle. At least I don't have to resort to a thesaurus to finish those!! Jogging at sunrise or sunset?

Could you please pray for my professor? She is undergoing a masectomy on the 31st. She's been diagnosed with breast cancer and I'm very worried about her.

Howdy, neighbor! Make yourself at home!

Welcome!

Hi there! Pull up a seat and get comfortable! :)

Welcome! =)

GROUCHY! *quickly dives behind the couch for shelter from the incoming thrown fruits and vegtables!*

Way to go!! I need to go on the warpath too! I guess I need to undo all that "repressing" of my "pushy" (read that as overly assertive or whatever descriptor you prefer) personality traits and get to work!

My guess would be that the controlling men are the insecure men. People who are afraid of losing something often watch that something like a hawk.

I'll also chime in and say "wait for next year!" From my experiences with my cousins and their children, babies under 1 reeaaaalllllly hate to travel for very long! A 15 hour flight would probably have BOTH of you feeling miserable! Add in the fact, that as you said, you wouldn't be able to do what YOU wanted to, the trip just isn't worth the cost right now!

I'm single, and probably going to stay that way for my whole life, and probably have no standing whatsoever to comment on this thread, but I'd like to add my 2 bits. Tell your husband to stop acting like a spoiled BRAT and to start acting like a MAN! He helped make that baby, now he can help raise that baby! Fathers do more than just make money to provide for physical needs! Don't be soft on him, either. If he knows he can get away with less than acceptable behavior, such as throwing a fit when he'll need to *gasp* watch his OWN CHILD for an hour, being human, he will likely keep doing it. Call him on it! Every. Single. Time. Sorry, I never said I was nice. I suspect, had I been born earlier in the 20th century and had somehow found someone crazy enough to marry me, I would have been one of those wives who ruled her roost with an Iron Rolling Pin. (Ever see those comics where the wife would smack the husband with her rolling pin and the like?)

:blink: That sounds downright UNHOLY! Quick, someone find some consecrated oil and a couple of elders!

I'd advise against "waiting" for missionaries. 2 years is a LONG time when you're only 19 or younger! Date around, get to know people. Unless you feel the Spirit has told you otherwise. Just the 2 cents from an "old hag" who's kissed more frogs than she cares to admit and STILL hasn't found her prince!

Institute classes are only for ages 18 to 30. I think that's a rotten deal, because alot of great people I know are OVER 30!

Yes, there are many who are married to non-members! My mother is married to a Quaker, atm. (Not my father, btw. My parents were sealed in the temple.)

Here's one that I thought would be okay. Not the most cheerful thing around, but it is one of my favorites I have written. <div align="center"> At the End of the Day I'm gonna be alright. I'm gonna be okay. No matter how bad it was, today was just one single day. Dry those tears. Silence those fears. Close your eyes, get some rest. Tomorrow just may be your very best. No one knows what comes with the dawn, until it's already done and gone. Hush those cries. Dry those eyes. New hope comes with the sunrise. You're gonna be alright. You're gonna be okay. All your somedays won't be like your today. Why look to tomorrow with such sorrow? Wasn't it dear Mother who said, "Put one foot in front of the other, and keep looking ahead." Hush now. Get to bed. Lay down your tired head. Remember those words Momma said.</div>

Yes, I do have more. But many of them are from my "clinically depressed" period, so I'm not sure they'd be very good for "uplifting" or "inspiration," so to speak.

I play on the Zangarmarsh realm, Horde faction. 67 Blood Elf Huntress.

Darn, y'all! Darn ya to heck!!! I must have gained 5 pounds just THINKING of eating those recipes!!

Bienviendos! :) Welcome!

Be patient and persistant, hon. I was in your shoes years ago. Just think of it like learning Spanish or French. Once you get your vocabulary down pat, you'll be having a much easier time.

I'll probably stick with XP until MS stops supporting it. I don't enjoy forking out $3-400 per copy for the software.

Sci fi- Babylon 5, Battlestar Galatica (new series), Star Trek TNG Video Games- World of Warcraft, Everquest, Final Fantasy Tactics, Xenosaga, Star Ocean, Civilization 4, really depends on what I have time for and what currently grabs my interest. Anime- I used to be into anime some what, but I really don't have much time for it since going back to college. A few of my favorites were Record of Lodoss War, Ranma 1/2, and Project A-Ko.
