My last date I did pick something apart. I didn’t like the bottom row of his teeth, and I didn’t like the way his eyes dropped. He looked drunk, but he wasn’t. After constantly talking on the phone after this concert date, he left me a voicemail saying “I really like you and would like to be a part of your life, but I have some things I need to straighten out first.” No red flag for me. This was the “red eye” jet telling me to K.I.M….either a gf/soon to be exwife/parole violation or what have you. Neva mind cuz I ain’t hanging around to find out.

Morning All,

For the longest time I purposely sabotaged my ships before they got to hot n heavy. I really didnt want the commitment. I’m sure that was A1 Jerk behavior and will admittedly wear that badge. I’ve since improved and now just downright domesticated.

What did you learn from your worst dating experience?

…that I can stand to be a little more loving or at least pay a little more attention. I’m not the best at gauging how much affection/attention folks need. On too many occasions, guys have been surprised that I cared even a little.

…that some folks will go to the grave being ugly and have no shame about it…frightening, but hey…nothing I can do but (sincerely) wish ‘em the best and keep it moving.

Good morning everybody! Today is my Friday and I am soooooooo loooking forward to this weekend (getting out of town)

Anywho, What I learned from my dating mistakes (and I’ve made plenty I look back and realized I wasted the really juicy party of my youth on stupid stuff but that’s what happens when you are naive).

1. Don’t overcompensate or over extend yourself for a guy trying to be nice thinking he will appreciate it because he won’t. He will think you are desperate or otherwise stupid and will take advantage of you.
2. Don’t overanalyze his feelings if you want to break up. When guys are done they are done and the case is closed. They don’t spend their nights overanalyzing breaking up with you.
3. Don’t settle. It’s one thing to be a little lax on otherwise high standards. But don’t date a bum just because no one else is interested at that moment. It’s a waste of time and not worth the free dinner..l.
4. Don’t hide your feelings. For awhile I pride myself on not crying in front of guys but sometimes maybe they have to see the human side of you to realize that whatever it is really affecting you and they need to step it up.
5. Good dudes are few and far in between. Please really evaluate before you let him go and find yourself 35 with 3 cats 2 dogs and a parakeet.

Those are enough for today. Hope everyone enjoys!

The number uno thing I learned from one of my dating experiences not letting someone attempt to make me insecure. Why was this valuable because it never happened before and here I was in a relationship and he tried to change everything about me and I am very stubborn so this was definitely a feat! Thank Goodness that’s over …Hallelujah!

What did you learn from your worst dating experience?

I learned what are some of my non-negotiatables are, what I don’t want in a relationship and it led me to re-examine my tolerance levels for drama. Sometimes you have to get burned to learn some things are hot to the touch…

Do you have a problem of “always finding something wrong” in the people that you date? Do you recognize it before or after?

You’ll always find something wrong with a person, it’s just a question of can you live with what you discover. You can recognize the flaws at any point in the relationship, sometimes much later if the person is making a conscious effort to hide them.

Fred was a horse that used to like to hang out with my horse and it just took off from there.

Oh and yeah, there always is something wrong with everybody I date, including me. My sweetheart has a thing about the phone; he is ALWAYS on it. He’s a busy man, yes, but he was like that when I met him six years ago. It’s just going to be his thing. Along with wanting me to be so involved in everything that’s going on with him, that he will answer the phone in ANY circumstance and either put me on speaker or bridge me into his current call. I appreciate the sentiment behind it, so I’m learning not to go off and just be glad that he wants me to be in the loop.

Besides, I have my own things for him to deal with…like that I tend to speak in “stream of consciousness”, so unless you’re paying close attention I can go from talking about the upcoming election all the way to how much I love Elmo. Dude can get completely lost.

Are you serious? Twice I’ve caused the power to blow.

Are you all still on topic? I don’t want to cut into the ongoing topic discussion.

Are there any ladies on here with sister-in-laws? Yes?

Okay I may wrong I will admit that. However I still want a “sister-in-law’s” POV. FYI this is my husband’s brother wife. This may get a bit lengthy so forgive me if it does.

I got out early this morning to do my household shopping. While I was out I get a call from my sister-in-law. Up until April of this year she and I had been on really good terms. Something happened back in April that made me look at her differently. And since then other matters have surfaced so she and I are not on the best of terms these days.

I was out with the little lady trying to get things done. It’s hard enough shopping with a toddler I can really do without all the extras.
She calls to say that “A.M and I spoke with your husband…” Okay that right there (‘your husband) is just some malarkey. Anyhoo she went on to say that she and her husband spoke with my husband about this upcoming Christmas’ dinner. (In October?!?!) She had spoken with several of the relatives and has planned a family Christmas dinner. The menu is not decided yet however everyone has agreed to bring a dish once the menu is determined.

Evidently my husband told them it was be okay to have the shindig at our house. She says. I kept trying to tell her I would call her back but she kept pressing the matter so I listened.

After getting the baby and all my stuff loaded in the car out of the parking lot I called “my husband”. He said they did call him however he says he told her he doesn’t really care she would have to clear that plan with me. He was busy and didn’t have time to deal with it. Whatever I decide is okay with him.

What really hate are people the smack when they eat. I don’t care what it is the smack. How the heck can you not hear yourself? I used to work with a guy that was nerve wrecking. He would come stand in my office to talk about something (or nothing) and would be eating crackers, chips, or whatever and would be smacking a way. I used to wonder why his wife doesn’t tell him to chew with this mouth closed so not to be so loud.

The only coworker that annoyed me more than him was the one that would let random particles of food drop from his mouth while eating and talking.

When we had company wide breakfasts and lunch I would make sure those two sat far away from me.

Raqi – It drives me nuts that my sister eats her food in sections and hates for her food to touch. So at a cookout she can have like 5 plates or if she has one plate, she turns it as she finishes each item. Now she has Lil Mo doing the same thing and I want to scream!

@kimmie ~ I was on an interview at a law firm here in GA and crossed by legs at the ankles thinking this is what the southern women do. The interview took so long (first black secretary for them at that time), that by the time it was finished I had fidgeted with my ankles so much that my anklebracelet twisted itself onto the stocking of my other leg. Went to get up to shake his hand, and nearly fell face first. I recovered only after he came over and helped me. What a way to accept a job!

LMBO Leggs. I had that happen to me once during a conference but it was that my foot had gone to sleep. I was sitting in a way that it was relaxed. I didn’t realize the feeling was gone from it until I untucked it and went to stand up. Quite embarrassing because there were execs from other companies there.

Slim – It’s a “consummation” for lack of a better term, between you and God, one that’s felt and real…not all the “showy” stuff you see on T.V. When you have and you have it FOR REAL, you’ll know it. Nothing anybody can EVER take and from the moment you accept and have it, it’s there with you…everyday. It’s what talks, teaches, leads and guides. It’s like the stuff you do or normally do or have done or like to induldge…when you have it, the urge to do those things aren’t gone as you’re human but that thing that whispers or worries or you can’t get away from when you stepped back into something you know is not pleasing to God…you can’t shake it. Got a concious? We all do. Just like it kicks in and sort of nudge you when you shouldn’t do or shouldn’t have done something, this works the same way but stronger.

Sassy — What Amendment 1 would actually do is give the government the ability to enforce all sorts of non-compete agreements, limiting competition (including employee’s rights to leave their current company and go to work for a competitor).

• Link

Basically Amend. 1 if asking for state government to make it lawful for businesses to enforce non-compete agreements on employees if/when they leave the company, preventing them from getting another job with a competitor or in the same line of work by starting their own company- VOTE NO!! As high as the unemployment rate is, why would you want to stop someone from getting a job. Wake Up Georgians—-Be prepared and read up on these proposed amendments.

if you leave a company….how would they know whether or not you’re working for the competitor?

• Link
• Report this comment

It could also extend to businesses where a division of a company is sold to another company and they sign non-compete agreements to not start up another similar division that targets the same market with similar materials or product. Either way, the Amendment is trying to limit free-enterprise and also limit employees from going to work for a competitor, that could take customers away from their former company…i.e. sales companies, manufacturing plants, -highly competitive businesses.

If your new company checks references, they could find out pretty easily…

2 Can…word gets around fast. You would be amazed at how they can find out if you work for a competitor. Plus, if you are in a top position and lure your customers over with you, they are sure to find out they lost their customers to you. Usually, they have non-competes with a time limit-6 mths to 2 yrs.

If you leave a company and stay in the same line of work, then any company you go to can be considered a company. So, does this mean that you can never leave a company, or that you have to completely change the line of work you’re in in order to leave? It seems as though this would be giving companies the power to decide your future. Sharecropping!

They getting crazy on what they’re requiring for kids now. My niece scored pretty high as well on the SAT but Ga State wouldn’t accept her and she actually received a monetary award at school earlier this year during their honors program having the highest math grade/average…something like that. Oglethorpe accepted her and was cool with her grades but wanted to know if retaking the SAT was possible.

Okay, here’s the breakdown = the highest on each section you can make is 800 x 3 = 2400. The average is 500 per section.

In 2009, the average SAT score was 1263 for the reading and math plus a 572 on the writing section = 1835
