The first thing I noticed about this post is that "you're doing all these things for others" and then feeling let down by them, like they don't care. Having expectations, expecting people to be as nice as you are is fruitless. We teach people how to treat us. When people really care about you they "MAKE TIME for you and listen, if they're not giving us advice that's a GOOD thing. A long-time friend knows when to say something to h

Ahhhhh, now this isn't too hard to do, just hang out at the laundromat on Saturdays, when ladies have to get their clothes done before the work week. No, I'm not being sarcastic, I see lots of gals at the laundromat on weekends. They aren't all with kids and boyfriends. Join a few clubs, activities you really like and meet some gals there. Join a church. Hang out at a coffee house. The local one here has tons of 30-s

I recently had a profesional tell me that the group of boys in the hallway ( where I was) were in counseling for doing drugs/alcohol and that was how they behaved, swearing, talking big, bragging about their escapades, swaggering.... when I was in school we had a name for them, JD's or "juvenile deliquents" the girls wore leather skirts, teased or ratted hair, heavy eyeliner, and always had a cigarette hanging out of the corner of th

Ditto to what dynosar said! It's truly refreshing when someone admits to being wrong, and awesomely mature. I'm such a fan of Michelle Kwan's, watching her is like watching a bird in flight. Thanks SingrDave!

Wow, she's lucky BlueDev! doing dishes??? and cooking? that's great and watching children so she can get some needed rest and sleep is such a a demonstration of your love. I think part of the problem with commercialism is that women end up asking each other "what did he get you"? or "look what he got for me!' and that feeds the monster....... and a

1. Clean up the kitchen from yesterday's mess, neither one of us is feeling good yet. 2. Mop the kitchen floor~ that way I can spill more food! 3. Cook a traditional big Sunday breakfast~ did I mention we've been too sick to eat normally? 4. Eat ice cream and watch tv 5. Make a nice supper~ chicken and rice cooked in Cream of Chicken soup with real rice worked nicely. 6. Make sure to only do number 4 and and number 5! 7. OK I d

I guess we're all entitled to our opinions. Michelle Kwan has won, if I'm correct, more awards on ice than anyone else, and that's because she not only is a fantastic skater, it's because when she skates she "becomes the music". Most skaters and dancers perform "to the music" or "with it", Michelle is the only skater I've seen that can interpert the music and look like she's a part of it. I'm glad she's taking care of h

"i am 36. one would think that, by now, i would have friends that, for the most part, weren’t stupid" Stupidity knows no age limit! People sometimes don't get smart until they're in the fifties...I should know, I'm one of them. I always knew about living responsibly, paying rent, lights, ect. Having my OWN place... I believe we all are on the same trip, we just get there at different times, and sometimes we have to get O
