Though I make just under 41,000k a year I thought I could make up the difference by giving you beautiful kids and being a great father and telling you I love you every morning and really meaning it! Making you laugh and playing with you and giving you unselfish mind blowing orgasms.<br /><br />I realize that your internal fire has died for me I acknowlegde this from your voice and words. Your frustration of me not being able to pay all the bills on time but a month later. You resent the work that I do and can't quite understand how a man with a 3.3 gpa and bachelors degree can't make at least 70,000 +. Some things are in the cards for us while others are not! I still work towards a better tomorrow everyday and still will manage to treat you respect and smile and will at least have you as a friend since you're a great mother to my terrific kids until the day you say it's over you'll be in my heart always : (Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29562711.post-35572134034190460482007-11-05T18:36:00.000-05:002007-11-05T18:36:00.000-05:00Stolen shamelessly from my veterinarian's office:"...Stolen shamelessly from my veterinarian's office:<BR/><BR/>"Never switch on a Dustbuster while you're holding a cat."Gleepleglophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05408013298722016727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29562711.post-71738037578567522582007-11-05T15:27:00.000-05:002007-11-05T15:27:00.000-05:00Buy bras the right size . . . something like 40% o...Buy bras the right size . . . something like 40% of American women are wearing a bra that is the wrong size.

And they won't ask you outright to have sex without one. Instead, they'll wait for you to offer, because you want to be a sensitive and loving partner. Huge mistake. Never, ever put yourself at risk for a guy that you're dating. Wait until you are in a commited, monogamous relationship. <BR/><BR/>Marry the guy who is easy to be with - not the one that you have to change yourself for.<BR/><BR/>The choices you make in your 20s can absolutely affect your life in your 40s. Just ask anyone who couldn't get pregnant and wanted to adopt. The FBI and court background checks are very thorough. Same goes for employment checks and terrible credit status. Be smart and responsible.<BR/><BR/>People disappear from this Earth in the blink of an eye. Don't ever take that for granted.<BR/><BR/>Give your guy what he really wants for his birthday or Christmas or any other holiday. If he likes a good cigar - give him one - even if you hate them. That is the essence of a true gift.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29562711.post-87378324738815707652007-11-04T21:12:00.000-05:002007-11-04T21:12:00.000-05:00I, like most women, have a signiture scent, a cert...I, like most women, have a signiture scent, a certain perfume I wear almost daily for years now. When I go on vacation, I find a new perfume that I like and wear it the whole trip. Every few months I put on the "vacation scent" and it immediately takes me back to the wonderful experiences my husband and I shared together.

She said rest stops are some of the most dangerous places in the country, and she oersonally would never stop at one, even though she was clearly cabaple of defending herself if needed. So skip the rest stops.

Cloth diaper is you want to, disposable if you don't. Let them CIO if you think they need to, cuddle them if you don't.

Sometimes the small stuff is ok to let go.<BR/><BR/>(From my dad): Play with your children as much as you can. Color, read, run or crawl around acting like animals. You will remember it always and the memories will make you smile when you are old.<BR/><BR/>If you love someone let them know.<BR/><BR/>It's absolutly ok to say no without feeling bad.jaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16276248816974206115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29562711.post-28920316626684651092007-11-03T20:56:00.000-04:002007-11-03T20:56:00.000-04:00yes, maybe not ordinary Hershey's but Reese's cups...yes, maybe not ordinary Hershey's but Reese's cups are worth it, dammit. And that fancy new Hershey's isn't bad. I think Ghiradelli tastes like it's been smoked. It's odd, especially the cocoa. <BR/><BR/>Once you hit forty or so, you will not be able to eat the quantities you once did. Face it before you wake up at 200 lbs. Learn to enjoy the smaller amounts you do get to snarf. <BR/><BR/>Train your dog. <BR/><BR/>Train your kids, but more cleverly (ie get sneaky) <BR/><BR/>When you least feel like exercising--yer grouchy and lazy-- chances are that's when you most need to exercise. Why the fuck we're designed like that makes no sense to me, either. <BR/><BR/>Plant tomatoes with marigolds. <BR/><BR/>Don't apologise for reading romances. Don't apologise for reading blood and gore books. Don't apologise for reading smut. <BR/>Or for writing any of it either.<BR/><BR/>Vote or don't complain. No, really. <BR/><BR/>Vote and then bitch all you want endlessly, but probably best to do it online and not at parties where people will back away from you. <BR/><BR/>Tell mom you love her. And if she's a raging horrible bitch, um. I don't know. Eventually forgive her for being way more flawed human than she should have been. <BR/><BR/>Eventually guilt becomes the world's more useless emotion after rage. Deal with it--do some action that will ease the reason for your guilt. Or just fucking let go of it. <BR/><BR/>Visit sick people but not for too long. If they tell you to go away, just go. Leave without the long affectionate goodbye some people employ at parties or social functions. <BR/><BR/>Damn, I have about a thousand more. Maybe I should shut up here and do it elsewhere.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02495558736099438348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29562711.post-75329959748454186772007-11-03T20:37:00.000-04:002007-11-03T20:37:00.000-04:00Here is mine:Don't base your happiness on things y...Here is mine:<BR/><BR/>Don't base your happiness on things you can't control, which is just about everything around you.
