What are you feeling, hoping, thinking, or remembering right now?

[harper]

Aaah.. c'mere, ya li'l knucklehead...

What's your week looking like so far? 
We'll be into punkin pie season soon!

 

[ahsatan]

lol very cute!

Oh u know a nightmare as always. What's ur week looking like?

I really like pumpkin! Pie makes my ibs worse so i skip that. lol
I do like to make pumpkin muffins though.

  So cute!

 

[harper]

MMMmmmm... pumpkin muffins! I'm going to give those a shot.

Dad's between treatments and appt's for a while, so we'll prolly
go to a few libraries this week, and maybe do a Costco run.

You should treat yourself to something nice this week. Pedicure,
petting zoo and a soak in a jacuzzi. Pick out something fun, tell me
what and when, and I'll think about you while you're at it.

These are the days we get. :O)

****.. I made a decision and now I'm obsessing over it. Did I do the right thing? What's going to happen? It's so hard to keep myself from folding. I want to take it back but I also want to be strong!

So sorry! Migraines are brutal!

Migraine.

yuck, hope it passes quickly.

Thanks guys. It took the whole day but it lost the fight, fortunately, after a couple of rounds of puking.

 

[TheRealCallie]

They say throwing up when you have a migraine actually helps.

 

[ahsatan]

Well, there you have it. It's just one article, and it's nothing really new or shocking. It makes sense. But at the same time, I don't know...I just don't know what to do about it.

I feel like the goal post is always moving, to be good enough for someone.

You have to be "economically attractive".
BUT you also have to be interesting and exciting, and usually those two things are opposite directions. Usually being economically attractive means committing lots of time to studying something dry and utilitarian. That's not going to get anyone excited about talking to me, and therefore I'd probably still be single.

If you spend your time trying to be interesting and exciting, then you're probably not working on being economically attractive, because to me at least, few things that are interesting, exciting, and adventurous have much to do with anything of high economic value, unless you're a superstar. And that is, IF you can even be interesting at all, cause that often takes money too. And that's if you even can at all, or if you have to have the right genetics to be able to do anything well enough to create any excitement about you, and get respect.

It also helps to be fit. Which takes learning how to lift and how to eat right. Which takes time away from doing stuff to make money and doing stuff to be cool.

And then there's "game", which I don't even know what to do about at all cause I feel like it's not me. Smooth-talking, "witty banter", sarcasm, etc. Always knowing the right thing to say, and saying it in a "cool", aloof, casually superior or "edgy" tone.

And all of this takes a very long time, if it's possible at all.

Idk. I know this might be controversial and I don't really want to upset anyone, but it just feels like there's so many bases you have to cover, and I don't see how I can cover them all at the same time. If I pay attention to one, I'm neglecting the rest. I just don't know how I'll ever be good enough.

The article seems like an overreaction to a 3.4% difference in the number of marriages UK had in 2015 compared to 2014. (not even all that recent)
I think they had a bit of a point about picking some one compatible... but that's it.

I can't speak for all women... but my only "financial requirement" in a potential partner is that they at least be able to take care of themselves on their own. I don't expect a man to rescue me from my financial issues and I don't want to play mommy to a grown man. 
*I'm not offended and I hope I'm not offending you. I'm just sharing my opinion. You can ignore it if you like.

i'm hoping to able to make sewing pattern just like that

Find something you love and can do well, pour everything into it and try and make that profitable. It's what I'm trying to do with my music composition and I'm just working on my first paid work at the moment. If the alternative is that you're just going to sit around and stagnate anyway then you might as well take the risk.

[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]Are you dating someone utterly out of his or her mind? Do you find yourself thinking about how crazy and "all over the place" your significant other is?[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]Do you find yourself describing your girlfriend as weird or your boyfriend as absolutely insane?[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]Well, you don't even know how lucky you are.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]If you've found someone brave enough to be him or herself in this world of standardized proportions and fixed ideals, adore that person.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]If you've found someone strong enough to hold on to his or her childlike sense of wonder, to be completely and utterly free and uninhibited, cherish that person.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]If you've found someone liberated enough to be a complete and utter weirdo, never let that person go.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]You'll know when you've found a weirdo.[/font]

[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif][img=608x304]https://imgix.elitedaily.com/elite-...&fit=max&auto=format&q=70[/img][/font][/SIZE]​

[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]Studio Firma[/font]​

[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]He or she will be like no one you've ever been with before, a breath of fresh air mixed with an electric pulse that shocks you into another dimension.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]They're magnetic, attracting and pulling you into them while at the same time, pulling you backwards, throwing things at you you're not always ready for.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]They'll piss you off while at the same time show you something you can't live without -- their world.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]Their world of wonder and awe, the way they see things you didn't notice before, look at things you never understood and question everything you thought you knew.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]They'll change your whole life without thinking twice about it.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]If you're lucky enough to be with someone crazy enough to let you into his or her weird world, cherish him or her and make sure never to let that person go.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]Because relationships with weirdos are always better than with anyone who's trying to be "normal."[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]The weirdo will never let the fight be the same one.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]Weirdos have feelings and opinions that will clash with yours like any significant other.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]With them, however, it's never about the same sh*t.[/font]

[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]Because your relationship isn't the same sh*t. It's new things, new tastes and definitely new points of view.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]The weirdo will never expect the relationship to be a certain way.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]They don't have expectations of you or the relationship. Weirdos let the relationship coast the same way they coast through life -- hoping for the best and going with the flow.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]They don't go into things with preconceived notions because for them, a relationship is as random and unknown as life.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]The weirdo will introduce you to the freak inside you.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]You think you know yourself, and then you meet someone who challenges every part of your being.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]Weirdos make you rethink your life, your passions and what the hell you've been doing this whole time. You go from who you were to who you could be.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]The weirdo will never be replaced.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]You know you can't let them go because everyone after them will never live up to the force your weirdo entered your life with.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]No one will ever show you as much, teach you as much and challenge you as much.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]Everyone will just make you wish you were with your weirdo again.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]The weirdo will never question when you need to take time for your own adventure.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]Not only do weirdos support your personal endeavors, they push them. They don't just want to be there for you; they want to show you the way.[/font]

[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]They believe in everyone as much as they believe in themselves, and that support will change your life.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]The weirdo will make you forget about the outside world.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]Until you've met a weirdo, you've never understood the only world you need to judge yourself by is the world you create for yourself.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]You also never experienced what it's like to live in your own world, to never have to enter society again. Weirdos bring the only world worth caring about into yours.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]The weirdo will catalyze every single creative interest you have.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]Any weird, obscure or crazy notion you pondered then let go of is now thrown back into your face. It's molded and nurtured and praised.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]Those tiny thoughts you never gave any light to are suddenly magnified and urged to be chased and expanded.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]Those tiny dreams you never let yourself think about are all a weirdo wants to talk about.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]The weirdo will never make you feel weird about your own weird self.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]They want you to be weird. They long for you to open up that side you refuse to show the world.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]They're ready to explore your inner workings and most obscure neuroses.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]They'll thrive on your quirks and your idiosyncrasies... just make sure you don't hide anything.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]The weirdo is always worth the drama.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]Yea, weirdos are not always the easiest people to deal with, but they're always worth it.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]They're going to bring with them drama and intensity, but that's what's going to make your life worthwhile again.[/font]

[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]Those days when you were just going to work, the gym and going to bed will seem like a fate worse than death after finding someone who won't let you be bored ever again.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]The weirdo will teach you to laugh everything off.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]They'll show you what it's like to not take anything seriously, including yourself.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]Life is too short and too weird to judge anything, and if you can't get serious about it, you may as well laugh about it.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]Embrace those who know how to embrace the moments that shouldn't be anything but funny.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]The weirdo is going to be the best *** you've ever had.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]Weirdos are uninhibited, and their *** follows suit. They aren't nervous or scared; they're down to try anything.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]They want their lives between the sheets to be as spontaneous and crazy as the one outside.[/font]
[font=sofia-pro, sans-serif]They're not scared to show their true, naked selves.[/font]

I'll never have enough bread.

We can just share it in a collective pool so we don't have to eat as much, lol.
