Um, yeah, actually I DO want a list of pros and cons about what HE thinks about the topic, and what HE feels would be the right solution. I'll say what I think, and I'll listen to what he thinks. I don't want him to just smile and nod and say "whatever you think is right, honey." If it's a...

How about the sign I saw in Walmart that said "Try some bananas, a highly nutritional food!" What happened to "nutritious" ? Anyone want to look up the current proper way to show plural possessive when the name ends in an S? As in Paris's versus Paris' ? Or Jones's versus Jones' ? When I...

I have been in this situation too. A couple of years ago I chatted with a guy on email, then we met for dinner. I thought it went very well, but then he wouldn't respond back to emails. A week later I finally said "You're just not that into me, are you?" and he responded with "You're right, I...

Ok I can start :lol: Why do men endanger their relationships by not talking about things that are bothering their women? I realize it's a big can o' worms to open up about "talking" and "communication" in relationships, but... If I tell my SO that something bothers me and I want to talk...

I was going to suggest a maid service also, but instead, why not throw a bridal shower there the day before the wedding, and then afterward everyone can pitch in to help clean the house. Most women I know wouldn't mind helping in that way, and it would save you $100. Or maybe it wouldn't be...

Preach on, Warlord Ralts! Preach on! Thanks for the giggle :) atra2: I think what you said was well thought-out and meaningful, and KenM will do well to listen (but he won't). Don't assume no one wants to hear your view, just because you quote Jesus. I'm an aetheist, but your post didn't...

Are there any botanical gardens near you? There's a lovely one in Davenport, about an hour away from me, and it's in the middle of a park. When I saw it, I thought it would be a lovely place to get married, in the bower among the flowers, and then a casual reception on picnic blankets in the...

THIS is where I got that impression: Back on page 2. If that's not what you meant, maybe you should say what you mean? Because nowhere in the above quote does it say "small social gatherings are fine." Here you're saying you don't want to get to know people; how were we supposed to...

All I was saying, Majoru, was that KenM asked for advice, we gave it, then he said that if he took our advice he'd be "conforming," and he doesn't want to do that. As I said, most of the posters here are just frustrated, not angry. As in my example a page or so back: if someone whines to you...

I think the folks here who are getting angry are doing so more out of frustration than anything else; I know I am just frustrated that KenM seems to not be listening and keeps posting further inflammatory posts. He almost smells like a troll to me at this point; every time he posts he's...

I know it can be really easy to get angry when someone asks for help and doesn't seem to acecpt your help. It's like the woman at your workplace who's overweight and moans about it all the time; when you suggest "Why not go down to the free fitness center and work out?" she responds with "Oh...

*cough* No pun intended. *cough*

There's nothing wrong with venting on a message board, I do it all the time. But if all you need to do is vent and you don't want anyone to offer advice, maybe get a blog? That's what I do when I want to vent about stuff and don't want anyone to respond. If you post on a message board, you're...

I was 18 and lived in Nicosia, Cyprus. My parents worked for the American Embassy (as did I, as a diplomatic security escort). There was group of 4 teenaged American girls in the entire country, of which I was one of course. We did everything together. There were also many lonely (cough) UN...

I don't think he's a jerk, either, in book #5, but I do think he's less patient with others and tends to get snappy when stressed. Much like, oh, every teenager I've ever met :) I, for one, am very happy that JKR chose to have a flawed hero, rather than a golden boy who always does the right...

Expecting too much from other people is one of the themes of this thread, I think. The original poster expected the woman to be honest and forthright when speaking to him, although she didn't know that he expected that. Many people expect games or, at least, coyness, from the other person when...

Don't apologize to him, he's the one who can't understand that not everyone is as perfect as he is.

Hmm .. and yet I just got finished saying that I forgot it was coming up also. Guess I'm a manipulative woman trying to scam someone? People .. get .. busy. And as you age, yes you start to forget things that were easy to remember in the early 20's. I think the advice of having someone you...

I wouldn't personally recommend to someone who doesn't understand mind games, to play a mind game of their own. What I *would* recommend to Ken is to be honest. I am a single woman (and relatively intelligent), and I have used the internet personals quite a bit (thank you Match.com for the...

Yeah yeah, I know this was posted over a year ago. I just wanted to point out that poor Harry got screwed over by the girl of his dreams (Cho) and to any teenaged boy that's a fine reason to be snappish with other people. Especially with the little romance developing between Hermoine and Ron...
