I sometimes wonder how my sisters and I turned out so well adjusted (well two out of three isn't bad). My Dad is a lovely man. I completely adore him. However, some of his views leave me wanting to bang my head against a brickwall, and any attempt made on my part to discuss these views with him, usually leave me feeling like I have banged my head against a

I agree with Gideon. There is no problem writing volume 1, before you are 30. Stevendedalus wrote his in volumes. Yes I agree, but I think that some celebs just don't actually have anything of a great significance to say for themselves before the age of 30. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" al

think we all root for the underdog, but that is not the same as the bullied. Glad you stood up to your friend. Yes I kind of got over excited with the bullying topic..just because it wound me up! <T

I tried reading the chapters you had posted here, but for some reason I couldn't get it to work. Not that I could of offered anything constructive anyway, so no huge loss there. When I write something I have to know exactly where it is going in my head, otherwise I just can't write it. I spend an awfully long time planning everything down to the very last detail. Not always a good thing. Now after it is written it does generally get changed about

Well here in England, if you blink, you miss the Summer. We have a few odd days of sunshine and then days and days and days of rain. Last week was a really nice week. Loads of sunshine. I took my little niece in the garden, and we was running about and playing, and it was really hot. Then all of a sudden it just all went grey, and there was lightening, and then thunder, and it was pouring with rain within moments. Ha...that was a long way of sayi

What about love? Love really isn't enough. Not by a long shot. If you have a spouse who runs up $40k credit card bills and you are the type of person who wants to save away for retirement, that's going to be a serious problem. I guess part of me just wishes that love was enough. When you marry someone

First of all I am exactly the same when I'm in a confrontation, I always think to myself afterwards all clever witty comments I could of made, just a shame I'm so slow thinking them! Hehe. I think the thing many of us forget about kids is that they aren't like us. They are seeing things for the first time. They are learning, and don't have many of the hang ups that us adults have. Though a teacher should know this. Your son needs all the

Ahh I'm so glad that you seem to have sorted things out, and you both now know where you stand a little better! I think you are totally right, to just think about things a little less, and go with the flow more. If things are meant to progress they will. Just enjoy each others company for now, and get the good stuff out of it! I agree with you about the whole phyisical thing. Though it is an important element of a relationship, it is only

Yeah totally, and the thing is you dont know if they never should have been together or if they should have worked it out somehow. If people don't bother to work it out, it suggests to me they weren't meant to be from the start. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 clas

When I was eighteen I worked in a shop whilst I was at college. I worked there for about two years, and quite enjoyed it. I'm the kind of person that lacks motivation, I need a good kick up the backside to get started on something, but once I do, I like to do well at it. I don't like to fail, and I try my very best not to. Now this was a reasonably small shop, an

I'm sorry it was such a rough week. I don't know how you do that job, I just wouldn't be strong enough to do it. I have alot of respect for people who can be so giving. I'm glad that you get something positive from it, and people appreciate what you do.

Oh, pish posh! When I write my autobiography, it will be released in volumes. I'll have people selling sets door to door, like encyclopedias. There's plenty to write about at each stage of life. Hehe, that made me giggle! Reserve me a copy Gid plz! <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center

Sorry fishy we were posting at the same time, I wasn't ignoring you! My parents went through a rocky patch that lasted about ten years. I honestly don't know why they didn't get divorced. But now, their friendship is stronger than ever. They're more alive, more energetic, more positive--younger, even, than I've ever seen

You talk about two issues here: marrying for money, and marrying, full stop. Yer I kind of got lost in the two issues. I get in waffle mode when I start talking about love and marriage...I'm such a chick, ha! <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-Body-Quote-Ta

After hearing the sad news about Heather Mills and Sir Paul McCartney, and their divorce, it got me thinking about marriage. Many people think that Heather was only ever with him for his money. Well I suppose that is something we will never know. She had a baby with this man and spent 4 years (ish) with him. So I guess there was some feelings there. However, she

well he's probably a prude and a closet voyeur, which is why I think he felt he had to film her. It amazes me how upset people can get over a naked body. I mean it wasn't like she was putting on a show. This sounds to me to be nothing more than a modern-day witch hunt. The point is she wasn't putting o

If I hadn't suffered through this bullying and then learn to deal with it, I wouldn't be the person I am today. What didn't kill me made me stronger, I guess. And what a great person it's made you <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%"
