[quote]Abusers think they love their spouses, too.[/quote]Exactly. What is love? We would say that's not love but if they say they are in love who gets to decide if it's real or not. [quote]Hmmm, I'd say one of ya has a seriously skewed definition of love, or is lying for some reason. And I don't think its you.[/quote] Well I think you can love someone and have it still be an unhealthy, unhappy relationship and know that it's time to move on.

I love names. I agree with the philosophy of keeping the name to yourself. You get those looks like - are you kidding? I started just telling everyone I was going to name my baby Chico and that would shut them up. None of them are named Chico. My hubby actually vetoed Colton (now I'm glad. He's right, it is a soap opera name) and Tate. My family vetoed Birch and Noah. The funny thing is we never had a hard time with a girls name but we never got

[quote]If my husband stopped loving me today, guess what? I'd still love him. My love is not contingent on his love for me. (Our living together and being married obviously is.)[/quote] I still love my husband and he still says he loves me. We're still getting a divorce. So what does love have to do with it?

I just don't see why people feel the need to force their religous beliefs on other people. Why can't people just believe what they believe and leave other people alone? Why do people feel the need to make their government and society all about THEIR religion?

Have you ever seen the movie Train Man. It is a Japanese movie but you can get it on Netflix. There is a couple on there that sit in different rooms and get on the same chat room. I thought it made a good point about our lack of connection to real people. Somehow I think it is easier for some of us to type our feelings anonymously than to have true intimacy with a partner. Regardless, I'm glad that things seem to be improving in your marriage

Reply to Holding the stupid door in Blogging Stardock Forums

I consider myself a feminist and have no problem with anyone, male or female, holding the door for me. I think it's just common courtesy. I would hold the door for someone regardless of whether they are a man or woman, especially if I saw them struggling with something.

Reply to Barack Obama: A long Days Journey into Night? in Current Events Stardock Forums

[quote]Perhaps Barack Obama is much too decent a man for the kind of politics inflected with racism and fear mongering.[/quote] I think you give him too much credit. I think a decent man would have defended Hillary. His silence on the sexism issue spoke pretty loudly. I don't think decent men are constantly condescending to the electorate. The examples are numerous but I'll just bring up the bitter comment, the fact that he basically thinks we are too stupid to a

Nope, I think now YOU have to make JU good again. :) btw, I would love to have a mom that showed love in any language. Now that I'm a mom I get a chance to get the parent/child relationship right.

[quote]What the senator needs to win this is a cogent thought articulated without the use of a teleprompter.[/quote] huh, do you think that's why he said no to the townhall style debates with McCain. It amazes me when everyone talks about how well-spoken he is when he's actually only well-spoken on prewritten speeches. [quote] That's change we can believe in. [/quote]:LOL:

[quote]Some presidents have tried to take a poll on every decision. Others on none.

I need specifics. If someone offers you a ham sandwich and it's against your religion, what's wrong with saying it's against my religion? I don't get it.

Reply to The Obama Facade in Democrat Stardock Forums

Not to mention the fact that he looks like urkle and alfred e. neuman's love child. - couldn't resist, I read it on a blog ;) I love how he disses McCain for being Big Oil with Bush when Obama is the one who actually voted for the 2005 Bush energy bill NOT McCain. Say what you want about McCain but he is his own man. That's the reason that a lot of Republicans don't like him.

what does Obama stand for in Democrat JoeUser Forums

The problem is that Obama doesn't stand for anything. He is willing to say or be anything to get the moola or the votes of whomever he is speaking to at the moment. He is a man of zero conviction. What exactly has he stood strong on. Nothing that I can see. Everything is subject to change. He seems to have no loyalty to any person or cause. If everything is about getting e

Yes, Michigan and Florida should has all their votes counted. Too bad he opposed that earlier when it might have made the difference to Hillary winning the nomination.

Warning a bit of a whiny whiner post. My best friend's hubby offered to change my sparkplugs since my check engine light is on and I can't pass inspection but also can't affort to take it ino the shop. We had the diagnostic run which showed that the catalytic converters were to blame but we start with the small and inexpensive - spark plugs.
