I never knew you, but come back.

You have been sorely missed.

I don't see where your FB is posted; can you send me a FaceBook message? I am Monte F. Hancock, Jr on Facebook.

Agreed with Monte - come back!

Well, it's been two months. We are tired of dancing on your grave; you should come back, now.

Awesome......!

my employer takes me very seriously, and talks to me about higher positions and all. They even schedule my hours around my college classes now.

get noticed in class more, the teachers actually check and remember my test scores ("hey, i noticed you got a 92") etc.

people seem to test me less. and i got asked out to dinner by someone in my class, she seems nice/smart.

Its just working. I cant completely explain it, but most things just seem better.

i'm working on this 'challenging' thing you see. i'm getting benefits like crazy.

hehe, naw no frustration. I'm just furthering discussion * whistles*

I lived that way for three months. It's kind of hard to misconceive.

They are absolutely incredible!!! Wouldn't trade for anything.

It'll have to be a little later, I'll be spending the day changing the front window out of my trailer. The one we're putting in is a big ass bitch.

Yup. Thursday works.

*HUGS* Thanks for listening. Congrats on your engagement!

Ha, sometimes I do dye it red. :D

Sometimes we don't get what we deserve. And for some of us, that's a good thing.
But Thanks therril

ya, I'll take the hint.. : )

You have had very similar thoughts to me it seems. I agree, and i'm glad things are working out for you.

I'm in a similar boat indeed. Rarely lie. I guess i feel i don't need to.

I think one of the issues with me is that, in your situation, i probably wouldn't have drawn a line in the sand like you did with such absoluteness. I guess i'm kind of a chump when it comes to that with someone that close, i should probably stand up for myself more and make it clear that there are limits and expectations that i will stick to. The 'whatever happens, we will try to work through it' approach seems to incite bad behavior, rather than mitigating it.

Let me know what you think about this, because its something i have been seriously considering working on. I think my flexibility and open mindedness is what gets me in bad situations, and possibly promotes them.

you have a very valid point and i certainly agree(have been in that situation), but i guess i was thinking that she cant really expect more if she isn't more. Its possible, but i would think makes it more difficult?

Ah! I started Brazilian Jiu Jitsu a few months ago. I like Muay Thai a lot better, but I got a concussion three weeks ago and can't spar. So I'm concentrating on bjj more. I once managed to submit a 14-year-old overweight boy with an Americana. So, yeah... I suck. I take it you're a black belt after 16 years.

I think men are uncomfortable with women who can legitimately kick their asses
