Holy fuck you’re in college?!?!?!?! What kind of English class are you taking? Are you even passing it? If so, then you need to demand your money back. I figured you were a dropout with your grammar and lack of coherent thought. But if you’re in college someone needs to hit you in the face with a grammar book, hopefully it’ll stick.
Also Ktfran, if the potatoes are not fully cooked, you can throw them in the microwave at 30 second intervals till you get them how you want them. Add a bit of water for moisture. Or you can always fish a piece out of the water and taste it (just don’t burn yourself).
Ktfran – I cut them into large chunks when boiling and then test with a fork. I’m also a huge butter and milk with your mashed potatoes girl. And garlic.
My cooking weak spot is hard boiling eggs. I can make a mean poached egg, but hardboil is a pain, so now I bake them in muffin tins. I’ve gone from 40% success rate to 75% and easier peeling. Also, if they’re undercooked, you can just throw them back in the oven. Voila!
I love this gem “That is why the divorce rate is high bc it doesn’t always work ” because I guess it didn’t dawn on her that homewreckers contribute to those relationships not working. So willing to sleep with a married coworker, and yet calling him shady. Such a hypocrite.
(oh, from Merriam-Webster dictionary:
hypocrite – a person who claims or pretends to have certain beliefs about what is right but who behaves in a way that disagrees with those beliefs)
Wow, I just…wow. But I will say, I really hope that she’ll read some literature books. She’s so adult, mature, and 24, yet can’t spell for shit. *sigh* She probably posts this shit on FB as well.
Also, we could turn up some great podcasts, whip out our laptops or tablets accessing your wifi, and post under totally different names on this forum (with lots of inside jokes).
We can also lament about shitty cousins/friends/dates/etc.
As for this weekend, I have a baby shower to go to. So meh. SKyGuy will be out of town with the dog so I’ll have the time to myself, may go to the aquarium, it’s been a while since I’ve gone. That and some sewing this weekend. So a relatively boring weekend.
@LadyE – I’ll stray from the others, and I’ll say that I’m not sorry for you, or that you experienced this. Not because I’m being mean, but because you just dodged a hell of bullet. You’ve realized a pattern, realized that this guy is stringing you along and you had your gut telling you stuff was off, and now you’re free form his push and pull bs that he did to draw you in. I completely think that by now he expected you to give it up, while saying he wasn’t ready for it, blah blah. You can’t change a person. You can’t fix someone that doesn’t realize they need help or who don’t want the help (even when they know they’re broken).
I am confident that you’ll recover, learn, and move on and come out better than ever. Life is full of change, and through these experiences we learn to change our expectations, and learn to expect better, to be treated better, to feel better, to be happy. Please do seek counseling if you can to really pinpoint the pattern, to learn new steps in identifying the manipulation, etc.
I look forward to another 100 pages of awesomeness. Dating is a very individual thing, what works for some, won’t work for others. I know people say that there are plenty of fish in the sea, but come on, you’re not going to be a clown fish trying to hook up with a shark. So yeah, everyone has different approaches, to take it slow, to be aggressive, to be passive, to roll with it, to speed it up, etc. So who cares what JJ has to say, it’s his opinion, and what works for him. Good for him. Doesn’t mean that reasoning or approach is for everyone else.
I’ve lost my v-card to my ex husband, at 22. So I wasn’t really sexual beforehand, and during relationship/marriage, it was good, and I learned a lot about sex and myself, etc. But it wasn’t till after I left him, that I met my FWB, that I REALLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYY came to LOVE sex. FWB was exactly what I needed at the time. It was just hot, long nights, fun talks, and he got me through a few bumps.
Now I have my guy (who I’ll call SkyGuy for the DW thread), and it went up another level. Of course, I had to call it off with FWB, but that was alright. It’s not as crazy single sex I had, but it’s on a whole different level. We’ve also introduced another aspect to our fun recently…sometimes the more the merrier.
I know we’re all analyzing dates and such, but sometimes it’s not too bad to just go with the flow, throw yourself in, and have fun. Though it is important to know when or if you have to pull out.
@stonegypsy – “me time” is so essential, especially after a breakup. When I left my ex, I got out there and dated, and then I was exhausted…dating is a lot of work. So when I did a slow fade from OKC, one guy I was kind of seeing ended up pressuring me to meet up. I got really fed up. I was traveling for work and for pleasure that summer, so I just got pissed the eff off! How dare someone think they have any right to MY TIME! From then on, I put me 1st. If I won’t, nobody else will.
@shakeourtree – depending on what phone you have, you can block individual numbers. How dare he have any right to you, he has none. Also, check out @textsfromyourex on Instagram, hilarious!@Moneypenney – ugh, the I travel/be outdoors/rock climb/party/am super awesome thing gets super old in online dating. AT some point, I felt I was reading the same profiles with different pictures. Good for you for getting out there! I love it when people join dating sites and then actually go on dates, instead of those that are like “well I dunno…I don’t really know you…blah blah.” So you go girl! Check out Philz Coffee in SF if you get a chance, gets crowded, but amazing coffee.
@HMC – I LOVE that book. It was the perfect thing to get back into the dating world with confidence.
