I read somewhere that every healthy relationship has boundaries. That invisible line in the sand that you would never cross, under no circumstances. Riddle me this, what happens to the boundaries when you are in love? Why is it that otherwise normal people toss out their logic and reasoning when they are head over heels?
It’s like being caught up in “the haze of love” completely blinds one to their boundaries. The next thing you know, you are hacking email accounts, looking at text messages, or something equally psycho. Would you be able to get past your date’s behavior if they crossed your relationship boundaries? Did you regret it?
My friend Paul said that he once forgave a young lady for looking through the photos on his laptop without asking. That was just one sign of how nosy and insecure she was about his female friends. They dated for a while but he thinks that the photo thing was a red flag that he ignored.
Have you ever crossed the line with someone you were dating? Did they give you another chance?
My friend D. Young coined the term relationship boiling points, recently. Those things that can send you over the edge. I can think of a couple that a guy would never recover from. Then there are the ones that can be dealt with and I can be won over again. After a little begging and a trip to the Apple store or something!
What are your relationship boiling points?

Yes we tend to be a little more tolerant when we find ourselves really into someone. We tend have broader allowance when blinded by infatuation.
I don’t know if it is that I looked the other way during the early years or if mi marido is actually more forward in his actions since he’s “got me” now. Either way I make it my business to derail such blatant actions of presumptuousness.
The problem??? He doesn’t get it. He doesn’t see himself doing it.
A small portion of a recent situation…
Me: Mason you are doing it again.
Mason: Doing what? What am I doing?
Me: Taking me for granted.
Mason: How? You keep saying that but how am I taking you for granted?
Me: Because you…yada, yada, yada
Mason: What?
By this time the discussion is no longer about what he did but has turned to the great debate as to whether or not he is actually aware of what he does.
That hits pretty close to my boiling point because I wonder why he doesn’t realize he is doing it. Outside of the fact that he can sometimes be a pretentious arsehole. But you know what he clearly understands or gets?…that I am being unreasonable and unfair when I don’t his grungy smug paws on me after he has tried to take me for granted. You can my “wrong” but not your own???
There are other things but this is where I am bright and early this morning…

Happy Friday!
Interesting topic, as for relationship boiling points I am pretty simple, so here’s my list:
1. I do not deal with guys that show abusive behavior (mentally, physically or verbally). I think I mentioned before the guy who told me that I talk a lot of junk and he could see himself choking me, and he said, “Don’t get alarm because I know CPR.”
2. I do not deal with guys that present conflicting stories otherwise known as a lot of lies: not claiming their children, lying about their education (claiming he graduated from one college, but actually attended somewhere else) and other dumb stuff.
3. I do not deal with guys that are control freaks I feel they are abusive and manipulative…
4. I do not deal with guys that have crazy current girlfriends (if it is an ex I want to see the restraining order before I entertain him as well). There is nothing like dealing with a psycho trying to get tabs on her man. The chick should get at her man, because if he is hers (possessive) she should know the answer. Yea I know it is not the man’s fault, but something has to be said for why the chick is crazy…is the beanie weenie that good or did he mislead her? Whatever the answer is my car tires are too important to take the risk.
Off topic: Has anyone (or know someone) that has taken advantage on the cash for clunkers deal? I hear they are running out of $$$ and I wanted to check into it…for some reason a car is whispering my name.

I do not have a lot of in between area and I do not think my list is that long, but I failed to mention respect which is huge…I have been turned off by how a guy treated others…I find it a turnoff when a guy calls women bytches etc. So please add that to the boiling list…all of the snooping and stuff I never really had a guy do that except for one and I will not share that story because I am embarrassed for him.

Yeah dating I would have a problem with a guy looking thru my personal emails and files. That is crossing the line. I mention the other day about a guy looking in my medicine cabinet but that didn’t bother me too much. I would take great offense to someone hacking an account or breaking into something to get information. There is no forgiveness to be offered there.
Other line crossers, talking down to me. Talking down to or about my kids. Standing me up without the courtesy of a phone call.
One offense that I can recall that actually was allowed to be made right a time or two, and this only worked with a certain person, the pretentious arsehole, but it’s inviting me over yet removing yourself from the space and leaving me alone. Especially when I postponed something equally important to spend time with you. You knew you were moody before I came over. We could have planned for another day. But like I said he was allowed to make it right. Like WD mentioned, some earnest pleading, a nice consolation gift (shopping, weekend getaway, etc.)

There are obvious no-brainers like abuse of any kind, cheating, stealing that are for many and should be for more line-crossers. But we all know that.
It’s the little ones like the snooping, the unauthorized use of cell phones and computers, the showing up unannounced time and time again, the extreme habitual tardiness and more like those that we sometimes allow passes for given some circumstances also depending on how much we like the person.
But it’s like a balloon. You can only fill it with so much air before it burst. Every relationship has its balloon. Even the good and healthy ones. This is a matter where flaccid is better than the alternative. Don’t let it build up. Let more air out than you allow to be injected.

Have you ever crossed the line with someone you were dating? Did they give you another chance?
One of my cardinal dating rules is to NEVER cross those lines….I don’t hack email accounts or cell phones and I don’t snoop around b/c I wouldn’t want that done to me and I know that,me being me, all sorts of helll would pop off. Have I been tempted to YES but out of mutual respect I haven’t. Now I’ve had this dont to me by an ex who tried very hard to control me.
Long story short I left him at my apartment downtown while I was at work one night only for me to return to find that he’d rifled through some of my personal things found a letter from a highschool friend and some pics they sent and tore them all up into little pieces and left them in the middle of my bedroom floor. Mind you I had just seen “Thin line between love and hate” with Martin Lawrence and I was on fire. Sooo I ever so politely packed all of his clothes in a plastic trash bag,caught a cab to his apartment(told the cabbie not to leave cause it wouldn’t be long) and dumped all of his shyt on the middle of his yard. It had just rained and all of his cousings were outside and saw the whole thing. Needless to say we were done after that and I felt sooo good. The cabbie laughed the whole time and didn’t even charge me for the ride. Revenge is a dish best served COLD

Morning everyone!
I can’t remember a time when I’ve crossed the boundary line. I don’t eavesdrop, play coy, or sneak into accounts. All this is a waste of my time and energy. I don’t believe in snooping. If I want to know something I ask. If he snoops around in my things without asking, then Houston, we have a problem and I won’t ignore that flag!
Like Raqi stated, tolerance level is heightened when you’re really into someone, but certain situations need to be addressed head on before it escalates!

Let me re-state: Agreed upon / understood boundaries are good. And those boundaries may go farther for some couples than for others. It’s really about what you as a couple are comfortable with.
That is also true for the level of openness. Mine shared something with me recently that let me know how open he is with me. And it gave me one more thing to admire him for.

I don’t have any little things, because for some reason the people I deal with were above those games for the most part (the ones I kept around). For me there are certain key elements that set the foundation for a relationship. Hence the big things if those things are in place you are good. For me a liar will snoop in your stuff, therefore I don’t deal with liars so I do not have the snooping issues. The control freaks will try to manage your time and deal with you when they want to deal with you, thus I stay away from control freaks. Those that are abusive and show signs of this will damage your property or you (even if it is just pictures or a letter), therefore I stay away from these guys…if you can do an assessment of the big things you will see patterns.
Sure there are aggravating things we all do to each other in relationships, however those things should not be character issues. I think the aggravating things are you did not brew another pot of coffee, and to me a pot of coffee is not grounds for a break up…IMO.

I know that I have given one to many chances. I was seeing a girl long distance and she came to visit me. Long story short, a couple times I caught her snooping through mundane things that had no relevance to her. She said I am the type that if I want to know something, I get down to the bottom of it. Why not ask?
Then a couple occasions, she would play dumb and be like can I use your phone, and attempt to go thru my stuff but the worst situation was when she took my phone and locked herself in my bathroom and went through my calls, pictures, picture mail,etc….crazy anyone? Man I am glad I am out of that situation…now anyone touching the communications….cut off!!!

Agreed upon / understood boundaries are good. And those boundaries may go farther for some couples than for others.
I agree with that. For me at a certain stage of a relationship some things are acceptable. I don’t have a problem with my marido reading my email. I don’t care if he uses my cell phone. He doesn’t ramble thru my purse but I have no problem with him reaching in there to get my keys or whatever.
That’s a topic we should discuss on here one day, if we already haven’t. The level of privacy in relationships and when does that level increase/decrease. Or better yet is there such a thing as privacy in a marriage or committed relationship. I am not talking about revealing all the personal intimate details of your past to your mate but just every day doings. Does privacy exist when you become one? WiseDiva we can discuss this one day???

-Riddle me this, what happens to the boundaries when you are in love? Why is it that otherwise normal people toss out their logic and reasoning when they are head over heels?
Good Morning Blog Family!
Speaking from personal experience, I am my biggest advocate, especially when it comes to protecting myself from being hurt emotionally, physically or mentally. If the guy I’m dealing with is doing suspicious things I will give him the opportunity to explain. If 1 and 1 is not adding up to be 2, then YES I’m going to investigate! Now if I don’t love him, then I don’t care what he’s doing and as soon as the story doesn’t add up will simply move on. However, it’s something about being in love and feeling vulnerable that won’t allow me to rest peacefully until I find out the truth. (If you look, you will find. If he’s not doing anything wrong, you will find that out as well)
The logic and reasoning is there, but it is totally ignored sometimes! No one wants to get played or be used as someone’s doormat. Respect me, be honest and communicate effectively and I will equally do the same. The bottom line is, if your S.O. is doing things that continue to raise your suspicion, then just let it go. As much as it may hurt, just let it go!

Morning blog gang!
Well I mentioned the other day about the guy that was surprised when I DIDN’T snoop thru his things when he left me alone at his place when he went out for food. Set little traps & everything. I’m just so not that nosy, insecure, crazy, whatever you want to call it!
DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT – Go in my purse & wallet, mess with my cell, computer, read my mail, go thru my drawers! It won’t end pretty! I was raised that way & I expect anyone I deal with to be that way too. In our home growing up we could set our wallets, purses, money, jewelry, whatever down and come back and it would not be touched. If I let you in my personal space like that I expect you to respect it, like I respect you & your privacy & personal space. That’s the only way to be in my book.
I had a guy to steal half my hard drive from my computer & set up a stalker virus on it. Other than to let him know I discoved his treachery, I have not spoken to him since. And I really probably could have f’d him up real bad & got him in trouble cause he worked for the Pentagon. I’d never had a man to steal from me! I’ll give you my last if you ask for it, but don’t steal!

Honestly I do not know any of the celebrities that you mentioned. However past behavior is always an indication of future results whether good or bad. So let’s examine your list and see what we come up with:
Michael Jackson his bizarre behavior left the world knowing that something was wrong we (fans) may not have known what it was, but we knew it was something. However close friends and family members came out and said that they were trying setting up a good date/time to confront him about his problem.
OJ was acquitted of the murder, however even if he did murder his ex-wife we all saw the pictures of her being beaten and we heard the stories of his obsessive behavior.
MV7 we remember the “Joe Mexico” and the water bottle incident etc. I will not bore the blog with all of this…
That is why my argument said look at the big things… and yes the people I chose to deal with I know them and they are above those things….

Raqi – I know this could potentially be another topic one day, but to answer your question, again its a matter of respect to me. I just can’t get with – “since we are together we should let it all hang out” line of thinking. I know, I’ve never been married, but it is not what I observed with my parents’ marriage and my grandparents & others I’ve been around. The purse & wallet were just a little sacred, not to be entered unless permitted, but not hiding anything either. I just don’t think marriage means a COMPLETE loss of privacy.

I’m back to boycotting reality TV altogether. The only one I’ve really watched is American Idol the past 2 seasons, and then only because my girl likes it, but that show is pure BS sandwich with a side of fried stupid. I watched NeNe for about 2 minutes some months back; Housewives of Atlanta, you have got to be kidding me. Just say no.

ON TOPIC
As it has already been stated…and I will agree, we tend to let our SO’s slide with petty issues…and in some cases give the opportunity for them to “make it up” to you, in the event that there was a line crossed.
But like several others, snooping is a no-no. I don’t feel with the idea of doing it, let alone carrying it out. And like I’ve mentioned before, the moment I’m second guessing his words vs his actions then, I’m doing a little self evaluation and really asking myself “how did we get to this point”?
So naw…I don’t snoop, actually, I REFUSE to snoop, period. And I’m looking at the man real crazy if he even ponders the idea that he has to snoop around in my belongings.

In fact, on the NJ Wives, they all seem like they’re in the mafia & once they were all in this nice restaraunt and one got mad & turned over the table. All the women on all the shows are ghetto cause if they truly were wealthy & had good breeding & class they would not even submit to doing such a show.

As far as Bob and Sheree go, Bob roots for her success. I know them both.
She and Bob were one of those couples that were together a long time before getting married. If I remember correctly, they were together about 5 years or so before even getting married.
All I’m gonna say is that he doesn’t let anyone get over on him. His sibling had to propose a business plan in order to get assistance on tuition. He rode them to attend class and then made them work it off either through Patchwerk studios or some other venture. He doesn’t believe in anyone getting a free ride. For example, one sibling had to be his driver for some time.
Even with Sheree, he got her a spot for a boutique on Howell Mill called “Bella Azul”. She had an opportunity to have her own business. It is now closed.

Kimmie Orange County was the only HW that I even watched more than two episodes of and from what I remember they all pretty much married into the money. There was not true well-to-do blood running thru the veins. You can take a dog out of the streets, but it is sometimes nearly impossible to take the street out of the dog.
I love days like today. The postman just brought a little box to the door with my husband’s name on it. Crossing the lines would be opening the box. Shaking the box out of curiosity would be, just human nature.

Sure I have. I was never caught at it, sneaky bastid that I am. As maturity grows, though, so does a realization of the importance of 1 Cor 13. In addition to that, “Love is not jealous. Love trusts the other person.”
Strongly agree. Just because I’m grown and don’t entertain this type stuff and being all secure with me and who I am, if I’m in doubt or there’s seriously a reason to not trust, I’m just not doing it. Not looking, lurking, shuffling, sneaking, investigating…..NOTHING! Who has the time and energy for that when you can just keep it moving.

Not really IMO.
It just plays into stereotypes. When I saw the finale to the New Jersey Housewives, I just thought that just played into the stereotypes of all the NJ and the mafia. One lady bought EVERYTHING in cash. She pulled out 100,000 in cash in a furniture store. The only thing that they failed to do was to go the the Bada Bing and ask for Vito or Michael Corelone.
What’s really embarrassing is what the news and seeing Rabbi’s and politicians really getting arrested for money laundering. That really happened in NJ recently.

No, what was embarrasing (a scene shown last night I believe in the recap from last season…first time REALLY watching), was when NeNe’s husband was trying to explain to her the difference between 1/2 and 1/3…she was supposedly helping her son with his homework and dad came to their aide. You’re a grown woman, showing out on tv and call yourself being polished…bad grammar, diction and all….and you don’t know simple fractions. I just about passed out when he tried to mentally paint the picture of what’s the most “half or third.” Nope, not embarrased but she should be.

PG one of my soror’s was on one of the Real Worlds, I can’t remember which one now. It was back in like 96 I think. Anyway, they hardly ever showed her because they said she didn’t have enough drama or whatever. She went to school, studied and only went out occasionally.
I remember back in 04 I think when they did RW in San Diego and omg those people were off the chain. I remember seeing them at this club in downtown San Diego fighting, and plus the camera crew follows them around. One of the girls ended up getting arrested and booked into Las Colinas women’s detention facility. At the time, I was a Social Worker for Child Protective Services and I happened to be at the jail interviewing a mom because we (CPS) had taken away her newborn baby because it was a pos-tox (tested positive for meth) baby and I needed to prepare my reports because I had been subpoenaed (sp?) to testify in juvenile court. Anyway, I was quite surprised when I saw the camera crews showing the girl talking to one of the roomates. Oh and it was alleged that one of room mates raped a girl at the house. Oh this was the season where there was that black dude named Jaquease or something like that. He wore glasses.

Rell no it is not boring. But some would say that it is. I love my life. I love being wifey, motherly, friendly. I am not one for having to be up on all the latest ballings, hitting up all the latest raved club scenes, rubbing shoulders with B-list celebs.
I don’t need all of that to have an enjoyable life.
I spend time with my family and friends doing the things we like to do. That’s good enough for me.

I learned a lot of that facial stuff back in school. Some of it is exaggerated for TV, but a lot of it is true.
It probably is the reason that I am not a fan of telephone conversations. I like seeing body and facial language.

**hacking email accounts, looking at text messages**
this is not psycho behavior!!! lol. this action is called for when your SO gives you a reason. if you suspect something, don’t leave him/the relationship until you are absolutely positive that he is guilty of doing wrong. so if it takes snooping to get to the truth, do it!
before i left my 8 yr relationship, my home, took my boys away from their father, i made DAYUM SURE that he was guilty of cheating. i hacked his email, i spoke to some of the women that were saved in his phone, and i heard it from his mouth *they don’t mean anything*.
all i’m saying is that it doesn’t matter how long y’all been together, before you leave a good thang (so you thought) find out first. get the evidence you need to back it up so it will help you LIVE & LEARN.

@Cee- after watching the behind the scenes I found out that they are not out at sea for really that long at all..just the way its filmed makes it seem like it. So they go crabbing..fill up come back for a day or two then head back out. They are several crab seasons in a year Opilio and King Crab on the show the Deadliest Catch both season are regulated by the Alaskan Fish and Game they set the mark on how much crab can be caught in a season King Crab is from October to November and Opilio is in January. Some seasons may very and depend upon the weather on the Bering Sea some can last for 5 days to 2 months and depending on the ships quota for the season I believe last years Opilio Crab Season was 250 Million Pounds with a fleet of 86 ships the season can end quick because each ship can hold between 180 to 200 crab pots. During a season if the boat reach maximum load they either can head to Dutch Harbor or St. Paul to offload their first catch and go back out to more before the season is done.

I was just telling the kid in the car this morning, that sort of mentality means nothing. When it’s all said and done status, money, cars, balling, clubbing doesn’t mean anything and really is not what “living” is about. I told her, make the best life she can make, be happy and content with her station. If her station can be improved (as always), do the needful and grow. More than anything, I want her to know there’s an account to be taken for what we do while we’re here and she will, as I and all others, will have to answer that call.

Mase was talking in his sleep the other night. He was saying “Eddie give me my money. I got a wife and kids to feed I want my money”
The next morning I asked him how much did Eddie owe, he looked at me amazed and asked how do you know he owes me money.
Would listening to a sleeping talker be considered as eavesdropping or snooping? LOL I kid.

But get this, I let a lady a work borrow a CD and she never gave it back. One day at her desk I asked her for my CD back that she had right there on her desk and she tells me ‘this ain’t yours, I lost yours. This is mine. I just bought it.’

Just like if you buy an original $5.00sqft quality of carpet for $2.00sqft, they will increase the price of padding and installation to make their money and then some.
Always ask for a breakdown of cost. And always get a cost for delivery only versus delivery and installation at the same time.

They use old shoe soles to make tracks, basketball courts, and other things for playgrounds. The rubber has more give and is easier on the kid’s knees.
The Cash for Clunkers program was about getting higher emissions and lower fuel conserving vehicles off of the road. Any vehicle under 18 mpg (brand new) was considered a clunker and the program was to be an incentive to get people into more fuel efficient cars.I’m sure that selling cars was also a reason for the program. Trying to kill two birds with 1 stone. If no stipulations, foolish people will use the funds to get Hummers and Land Cruisers.

Poppa that sign on that bin clearly states that the shoes you give will be shoes for someone else less fortuante to wear. They even have a picture of a little boy proudly wearing some dirty old worn shoes. The ones he had on looked way better than the ones I saw that day in the bin though.
My mom taught me not give anyone anything you would not wear or want your ownself. If it’s spotted and raggedy put it in the trash. Don’t give it someone else.

In Response to Raqi’s first post:
Taking for granted… Oh how that can be subjective. From a mans point of view I know that a lot of women don’t appreciate the things a man does for them because they aren’t the things they want. For example: I cook in my house. Everday. Every meal. I don’t necessarily do this for me, I can deal with sandwiches and fast food for the most part. Don’t get me wrong, I love a NY Strip or a Pot Roast as much as the next guy, but I wouldn’t put in so much effort for just me. I cook because my wife loves my cooking and it pleases her. Now, I know she would rather me give her bubble baths and chocolate to show my appreciation, and I do it occasionaly, but I consider my cooking (and fixing things and mowing and yada yada yada) to be my way of showing it. It’s a man thing. We are providers by nature (it’s the animal instinct in us) so that tends to be how we show our affection and appreciation… By providing.
Also, women tend to want in a fairy tale sort of way. It’s the romance novel syndrome. Women want the rest of our lives to be like they were the first month we were dating, while a lot of men are happy in the comfort of a lasting arrangement. The newness wears off. It’s a fact. Granted, in my case at least, it is replaced by comfort (which in my opinion is a lot better) but it still wears off. Ladies, I ask you this: Go to your closet and pick out that pair of jeans that you love but haven’t worn in a while. Now, make yourself feel about them like you did when you first bought them. You know, all excited about a pair of jeans that fit just right. You can’t. The newness has worn off. It has been replaced by an appreciation for the jeans, a happiness for all of the times your @ss looked good in them, but the same feeling isn’t there. Not to say the new feeling is worse than the first, I think it’s better.
We have to have realistic goals in marraige. Just because your husband isn’t telling you everyday that he adores and appreciates you doesn’t mean he isn’t showing it. Sometimes you just have to open your eyes to see it.
Now to get to the point of the article. For me, the boundary is cheating. I have a wonderful wife who trusts me so I don’t have to worry about her checking on me. And I have given her full right to do so. But if she were to cheat on me I couldn’t forgive her. That is my line.
Have a great weekend!

A woman wrote in complaining that she had lived with a dude for 26 years and was mad because he won’t marry her! Said he does not want a commitment! She said he won’t put her name on the house, bought her a car to get to work but it’s in his name. Said he wanted to see how she took care of the car before he put her name on it or she could pay him $1500 and he would do it. Complaining cause he charges her $300 a month plus groceries. Said he told her it was his house & his stuff and if she didn’t like how he ran things she could step!

You can buy a brand new Chevy truck that gets 15/20 through the Clunkers program. It’s nothing but a handout to provide cheaper new cars for consumers and tax money into the car industry. I think it sucks; if people can’t buy a car, or don’t really need one, why use this amount of tax money to subsidize something they don’t need or can’t afford? If the desire is to have greener cars, then force alternative energy on car manufacturers, and get away from oil. This isn’t a green initiative; it’s an economic stimulous initiative. Calling it green is simply politicians being their normal disingenuous selves.

@Kimmie, I heard that crappy letter this morning. She’s now fed up w/her relationship. 26 years later. She had already given ole dude the blueprint to the makings of the relationship probably in year 2. He knew what he had and how he could manipulate her. She has to pay him rent. WTF is that. He has her in such a chokehold she can’t see straight. She’s too blame for not having backbone sooner to do what’s right for her. Perhaps her writing that letter and reading it back to herself will help to see what’s clearly already there. He doesn’t give a rat’s arse about her! She’s shown him far too long just how much of a weak, lowly woman she is and how tolerable she if of his shortcomings!
Grace

Kimmie that’s where so many women go wrong by being the only one in a relationship, tryna make it work all by ourselves. There is no relationship until both parties agree there is one no matter how much time you spend together, how much money he spends on you, even how much he says he loves you, until he says the words we are in a commtted exclusive relationship and you agree, you are not in one. As for the writer of the strawberry letter my heart goes out to her because she probably will never get the man that she wants to marry her. She needs to accept it and move on. She is a kept woman with lots of lines she can’t cross.

You can get a new Chevy truck with Clunkers, 15/20 MPG. It’s not a Green initiative, it’s a stimulous initiative. Words to the contrary originate in politicians’ usual mendacity, er ah, ability to relate to the public.

It is a dual initiative.

Leggs/Grace – If she’s working full time, $300 a month plus groceries is not a lot. So over 26 years she should have quite a stash put away if she played her cards right. That way, she’s in the drivers seat in her own life if she chooses to leave him. It would not matter if her name was not on the house or car. If something happened to him, she would not have any obligations! He would have done her a favor. But I bet that is not the case.
If she’s gone 26 years without a ring, no use ranting about it now. Like Steve Smith said, it was something that kept her there all these years so she has only herself to blame. No, at this point the major problem I would have with him is the crappy way he treats her & talks down on her. But hey, you teach people how to treat you!

abc????!!
did u read about auto nation’s CEO on cnbc this morning?
the cash for clunker program is helping some companies stay open coz its pushing their inventories.
Capitalism is not perfect! uall need to stop reading the repgs talking points.
China passed a bigger bailout than evebody else and the asian economies are roaring.They are at it again,buying up all the american debt.
I support that clunker program,the money went out in one week and it shows,folks are paying attn.Businessess are loving it and so are the consumers.
As for freabies,boy or boy,there are lots of goodies being dished out to companies everytime coz of lobying etc farmers,insurance companies,drug companies,exporters etc and way be4 Obama took office,mind u!! US capitalism is rife/loaded/bloated with subsidies financed by taxpayers so i dont know/understand why abc is whining……….nor why the Repugs want to make it a big deal this time.
Lets leave Obama to shine and cure this Bush economic mess he inherited!

@Kimmie, that’s my point with the blueprint. She dictated how he could treat her and stayed all these years. However, you’re right. If she plays her cards right and has a stash, more power to her. And the fact that her name isn’t on anything is her “silving lining” in this mess. You’re absolutely right!

WHat up ya? Boundaries yes well everyone needs them in relationships. For me blatant disrespect,abuse of any kind and all around the basics..if you don’t get it? I can advise of you of what I expect and Visa vei..we agree or not and if not we keeps it moving very simple. Love doesn’t blind me at this age I don’t have the energy, motivation or time to be playing around with some womans son who has no clue even after I give him one. Too many fish in the sea..and that real!

Mo – I think that happens to a lot of folks, when it comes to cooking huge meals at big gatherings.
And Demi – Yeah, you may be on to something. The aroma can be overwhelming enough to convince you that you’re indeed full.
MyTwo – Yeah, you can just smell the rain comin’…and don’t worry, sis has a firm grip on those charms, while putting the killswitch on what was “untameable”. I’m a pro! LOL
Btw, and on another note, I cried again watching that movie last night.
Well, let me get on down the road. The girls are having a recital tonight. 2-3 hours long, I’m guess-timating. And I’ll make sure to remind them that Aunt MyTwo says: “Break a leg & don’t ya’ll embarrass “us” now” ! LOL
You all have yourselves some restful weekends!

I don’t really look at things in terms of Repub and Dem. Too many get caught up in allegiances. Either one will drop a dollar on the ground and when an American bends down to it they get screwed by either a donkey or elephant.
As for capitalism, it is the antithesis of Christianity. It feeds off of greed, which is one of the 7 deadly sins. So, there is no way for it to be perfect.

Telling a dude and making demands/request after 26 non-married years of tolerating less than stellar treatment carries no weight at all. After 26 years, more than likely the them is “you can go or stay, it’s on you”

u know purists (capitalists) say that the economy cures itslef.That the market is perfect(from an economic standpoint) and that it weeds losers(inefficient players) and rewards those who are efficient coz,as they say,the playing field is level,no arbitrage coz info is freely available.In reality,BULLCRAP!!
I was speaking about “perfect” in that economic sense.
As we now know or proly do,the markets aint perfect,big playas have leverage over small ones,insider trading is rampant,capitalism goes in cycles,peaks and valleys and eve 5 or so yrs,its needs help from the policy makers.

Leggs and you know I’m not knocking her but I just don’t see some things…gheesh. I mean we’ve all either had our fair share of being on the bottom in a situation or will have, because that’s just life but only so many times are allowed in each age bracket. You living with someone, Imma give you the benefit of the doubt and say you moved in at 18, that’s what 44 years old, if that. Uh uh, you gets no sympathy because that number should have taught a few things by now. I wouldn’t stay anywhere that long but for the sake of love, let’s say you stay 3 years….no results…I would be so ghost. Unless we’re moving towards a goal and the can see some results in being together that long with no concrete underneath me, I’m soooo out. My uncle use to say (not that everybody lives by this), after two years, a man pretty much knows what he wants to do. He said, heck before then but give him to to give him the benefit of the doubt.
