Now if I could only follow my own advice. Unfortunately, the underdeveloped male animal brain kicks in and screws everything up.

You mean the smaller male brain the one that seems to lead most men around but their noses. hehe
We are all human and we all make mistakes as long as we can learn and hopefully not repeat the same past mistakes. It is hard to break old habits unless you see the errors of how they make you feel and act. hehe

The small brain always works flawlessly and without judgement. The larger one is the problem, for it is readily jaded and confused.

Well I can relate to the jaded and confused issue. But it is not worth hiding and not living. If we don't live and make mistakes we don't learn and we don't grow. Yes I am young and have not lived as much as some of you but I have learned very early in life pain and how to try and escape things. One thing I have learned is that not all people are evil and there are some the love you and not want to hurt you. I try and be very cautious and not jump in with both feet, but my personality is outgoing and I seem to attract lots of different people and seem to have loads of people who love me. It is me and my brother but my extended family is very large filled with loads of people who want whats best for me and kick me in the butt when I am being stupid.
So if you need me to pep talk hehe I am good at it also. hehe

Shortstuff,
I wasnt trying to criticize you for anything. It's pretty obvious to me that you graduated from the school of hard knocks with honors, and I commend you for surviving it. I'm perpetually comfused when it comes to the affairs of my own heart, and often convince myself that doing something totally idiotic is warranted and right. It's real easy for me to help others, even though I couldnt help myself to save my own life. I appreciate the offer and will probably take you up on it.
On a side note, A friend that doesnt have the balls to kick you in the ass isnt a friend at all

Omg you should meet my sister (OK she isn't my real sister more sister of the heart) she and he hubby kick me in the ass all the time and tell me to lighten up and breath. hehe I get pretty riled up on some things...Like men that think women should be in the kitchen cooking and clean. freak that idea I would say, " go make me that sandwich first baby". hehe
Well I know you were not attacking me in any way and did not take it that way at all. I think you have a big heart and well just seem to find some fun even when you don't want any. HEHE
The heart is a delicate and fragile part and some times it can be hard and cold but as long as you try and guard it as best you can that is all you can ask for.
OK I am hungry now to thanks hehe

Well that is not always a bad thing. My sis says I do the same and that is why I attract some many nuts and berries. She calls me a squirrel-because I collect so many nuts hehe.
No, I feel more men need to be able to express emotions. I am not sure if it is breed into men to not show them. I feel that the world would be better for it if they could. Not everything has to be so hard. Some times you just have to jump in and live and love like crazy and hope for the best.
One thing I have learned about the Internet is that it can be a tool to help you meet people that fit you more then you can by going out and partying.
Yes you need to be more cautious and make sure the people you talk to are who they say but so far I have had a lot of fun and met some really great people.

A man that's capable of expressing his emotions is a rare breed indeed. I spent 27 years having mine supressed, and that alone has helped me in understanding what goes on in a womans mind. I wont ever allow that kind of abuse to happen to me again. Everyone, at some point in time, wonders what it would be like to be a member of the opposite sex. I had my chance to experience it emotionally, and it's opened the doors to some really wonderful friendships. Will one of them turn into the future mrs. Ride? I dont know, but my options are open.

But is your heart to tired to want to get it right? I have felt many times I just want to quite and I am so glad I didn't. I met a really great guy who is amazing. He doesn't want to change me or try and control me. He is not afraid to say I love you or that he is sorry if he feels he needs to say it.
I almost gave up on love or having it. Funny how one Brit could mess with my head enough to make me rethink my life and what I am doing with it. Then this most wonderful man came into my life. At first he was encouraging me to see another guy and well one day it kind of surprised us and the rest is history. Good story to tell the grand children one day lol
OPTIONS for a Mrs Ride are really good. As long as you can learn and remember to never loose or change for anyone.
That was my mistake with the Brit. He could not share emotions and He could not change that I had emotions. It doesn't make him a bad guy just not the guy for me. And it lead to my love I have now. ;)

That's wonderful that you have such an awesome love in your life, Shortstuff. I've spent the past three years of my life with a control freak who, truly believes he loves me, in his screwed up way of thinking. That, and his need for too much female attention from everywhere has been our undoing. What you said about your guy not wanting to control you or change you is very, very important. I hope you stay aware, not looking for, but stay aware of any warning flags and not let that happen to you again. I believe very much in love and will never discount the possibility of that person being out there somewhere. I'm very content with being alone for now. It's helping me get my head where it needs to be so that love can happen one day.

I agree, My guy is a gem and I don't take that for granted in any way. I had a ex-fiancee that while I was in the hospital decided to bed my best friend or so I thought she was. I came out of the hospital to find them in my bed together. Packed his shit the next morning, changed the locks and said get the Fuck out and never look at me again. OK that is harsh but damn I was hacked. That is the part of blind loyalty you don't always see it coming. I am always looking for the warning signs sometimes I have to sit back and say not all men are dogs. If me and the guy I am with don't work out long term which I'm sure it will, I am OK with being alone also. I think you have to love yourself to love someone in a healthy way.

I think you've got a good head on your shoulders, from the posts I've read of your's, and I don't know how old you are, but probably a whole lot younger than I am. So, what I was saying about the warning signs, etc., apply no matter what age you are. I'm still about 18 in my heart, so that gets me into trouble sometimes, but I'll stay young at heart until I die. I also have the ultimate example of what a true gentleman is in my dad. In some ways, I think it has stunted me, though. My mom told me years ago that I have always been looking for that man, and she's got a point. Instead, I've let one asshole after another take advantage of the honesty and goodness that was instilled in me from an early age. So, my point being, I know that we are all products of where we've been, what we've been through, but even having the best example I could ever hope for in a man hasn't kept me from making the wrong choices. I'm finally taking responsibility for my own life and it feels pretty damn good and I know that I'm finally learning some lessons. I just have to learn everything the hard way!

I am almost 23 but have lived on my own since I was 17 and got away from a shitty situation. I made a lot of mistakes and got involved with some people that did not have my best interests at heart. Then my brother stepped in and saved me from a path which could have led to death and almost did. I am very open still and not afraid of what my life was and how I turned it around to become the person I am today. I am not perfect and I have fears and pain still. I deal with it every day. I sometimes mask it by being bubbly and outgoing. I try to not let my past suck away my future. I got my life on track and finished school and got my ECE (early childhood education) and my special needs license and got a job in my field that has led to me being the manager and having staff to help me and compliment me.
Having a man in my life was not a necessity but a fringe benefit. I don't mean for that to sound rude to my boyfriend at all. He is wonderful and knows all of my deep dark secrets and still loves and respects me.
He said it best, " It is my past and it is not my future".
We talk everyday for as long as 4-8 hours at a time. When we talk it seems like minutes. I never feel a lose for words with him and he is very open and sharing also.
I guess the long and short of it is love yourself first and the rest will come into play one of these days. I am still learning and growing and do not pretend to know it all either. I am always willing to learn new things.

That's not rude at all, it's very true and you're very wise to already know this. Another person in our life should only complement who we are, not be our reason for existence. I've learned this the hard way, too. The man I'm no longer with HAS to have companionship, evidently even I wasn't enough for him, but he's lost without SOMEBODY being there. It's truly very sad, but it also causes him to smother whoever he is with, to the point of not being able to breathe right. I'm also a tad claustrophobic, so the extremes just haven't worked.
So......keep up the good work, with your eyes wide open, girlfriend!

Today I was chatting with an old friend and he is rethinking some choices he made in his life. I told him I am not going to be one of the choices that he wants. I have closed that chapter in my life and found a man that wants to SHARE his life with mine. My old friend needs to stay that way and learn that yes if you set it free it might come back but not always does it mean it is yours again. Sorry
My day has been full of weird calls from people from my past. What is it check in on me day. lol
Ok it could be worse it could be ignore me everyday, lol But I am hard to ignore lol.

I bettered myself from 7 to 9 Saturday night. Now I'm paying the price for it.
This one will be bleak. I thought I had a good working relationship with the employees on my shift. I am the foreman (for now). It seems that they all have some sort of issue with me, one guy just quit and said it was because of me. I had no idea there was a problem and that guy wasn't even on my shift!!!! We have always talked as friends would and it seemed that rather than boss and employees, I felt we were all on the same level, just doing different jobs. Evaluations came up and most of them kneecapped my for different reasons. Some minor, some not. The part that really bothers me is that NO ONE said anything. Ever. Now, after a good ass chewing from MY boss and a heated discussion, I feel mostly contemp for everyone. I hate being that way. If they would just say something, things could easily be adjusted. Now, there's weirdness on my part. I am upset. Mr. Barcardi and myself are getting aquainted right now. Not a mature response, but I'm tired from thinking about this all day and Mr. Barcardi will help me sleep. Now, in the interest of being open with my employees, I am calling each one idividually and discussing their concerns and how I am going to adapt to their needs. As long as they are happy, it seems I don't have to be or maybe even shouldn't. They don't want my input on how they do their jobs, but are more than happy to tell me how mine should be done. This is my first management position. Did I expect too much? Did I not put out enough of a 'boss' type attitude, thinking we could get along just like it was when I was not running the show? My mood right now is as foul as it has ever been at this job. And that is saying something. Sorry if I bummed anyones high.
007. :(
Cheer up. You have to remember, work is work, and you should probly keep it seperate from personal friendships. Your the boss of them, so they have no right to tell you how to do your job.
If I were you, I'd talk to your boss, work it out with him, then BE the boss to the others. Don't let them run all over you.
The problem is it was my boss chewing on me to start with and it looks like he is inflating the situation into more than it is judging from the those who have called me. I'm working with my employees. Thus far three have called on the cell and talked to me, it's looking better. A bit. I appreciate your comment. Really, I do, cause this day has sucked ass.
I think Mr. Barcardi has calmed me down a bit also. I have been awake for 26 hours now and the fatigue and days events are combining to make me a cranky fella.

i know its not my place to interject here, but I cant sit by and watch you make a mistake of the magnitude youre about to.
Keep in mind youre the boss, not the people under you. The reason youre the boss is because you have to make the decisions that the ones under you arent suited to do. The minute you allow the rank and file to control you, you have lost control of them. Trying to treat them as friends is rarely the best way. You need to lay down the law to them, and make their positions clear and concise.
If you really want to call them in individually, let them know as a group that if they have a problem with the way things are being done, then come to you for a sit down at the end of the shift to discuss it. Let them come to you, dont go to them. This way, they feel they have a little control, when in fact all they have is input. The ultimate decisions are yours, and yours alone. Tank notes on anything they tell you, and mull through them when you get home. If you feel changes need to be made, then only incorporate a small portion of what each one has to say.
Using the open door policy has the affect on your troops that they feel like they belong to something. Never tell them "i'm the boss", just take what they have to say under advisement.
Employees having been using this type of tactic since the beginning of time, particularly if you were promoted from the same ranks as they are. That little bit of animosity has a way of fueling an uncontrollable fire.
I'f I'm totally out of line here, let me know and I'll shut up.
Not out of line at all. All you have stated are valid points. My current problem is that MY supervisor seems to have put more stock in what the rank and file are saying (or what he's telling me they said) than in what I am saying. He has told me I need to change to 'fix it'. I must add that I don't feel his style of management works very well at all. If the situation were to go over his head, I believe my termination or demotion would result, he's that type. I have stated to those I have already talked with an 'open door' policy. That if they have a concern they should tell me rather than say nothing and be unhappy. My question was this, "Would you rather fix the burned out light and make things better, or just sit still and curse the darkness"? They seem to understand. They also said they didn't say the things my supervisor said they did. Perhaps someone has insecurity issues to work out, hmmmm?
Thanks for the point of view, you guys on the outside are giving me some good thoughts.

It's hard to learn to balance being friendly with your direct reports and being too friendly, and basically I found that I had to screw up in both directions to figure out how to find the correct balance. Essentially I've found that if you're too overbearing, they'll revolt (OK, I've never actually done that one, but I've seen it happen), and if you're too friendly, at least one of them will use anything you share with them against you.
if you're too friendly, at least one of them will use anything you share with them against you.
Precisely what has occured in this instance, apparently.
I have a book that relates to this situations. The title is The 48 laws of Power it is quite interesting. Several good laws; Never outshine the master, Keep friends close, enemies closer, and of course, Never reveal more than is necessary.
Clearly, I must review.
How about something a bit lighter. This made me laugh, it was actually in a video game, Enter the Matrix. I saw this about a 1/2 hour ago. It was stated by a character.

Yes people can be rude and obnoxious but they are only peeps on a screen and nothing more. I may post with a bit more emotion then most but I do not apologize for that. I try not to offend but speak my mind as I would do in the real world. Here is not the real world and half the people don't know what truth is or how to say it truthfully. This is a place to hide for some and for others a place to meet people that share the same ideas. What ever it is for you or others enjoy and have fun with it.

I have to agree. I think tattoos can be very beautiful and artistic give the right place. I feel for me my tattoos are only for me. I don't feel a need to show them off to the masses. I have one on my front of a rose and my fairy on my lower backside. Each has special meaning to me. The rose I had done when I left home and got my head together sort of and the rose was a sign of rebirth for me and a start to a new life. My fairy was sort of more of my naughty fun side that I have. For me both are not for show and tell to anyone who doesn't know I have them. Occasionally someone might spot the one on my lower back but it is mostly guys that want to sneak a peak, hehe
yah I know where their minds are. :p
But I do not regret my tattoo but I do not also want any more either. It is the same for piercings. I have my ears and belly button pierced. hehe

Credit card fraud can really mess your life up. I got my credit card bill a few weeks ago and got a big surprise. OK let me back up to what triggered all of this.
I was planning a surprise weekend with my boyfriend, you know show up and call him from the airport deal. Well went to get my plan ticket at my cousins work and she said my credit card was declined. I was what the hell I never use it and pay it off every month so what the hell. I go and check the mail and find the credit card statement and proceed to open it up and freak right out. There was 2500.$ worth of charges and I only have a 2000. limit. They did all of this in 4 days. I had like 5oo. worth of porn channels ordered and 800. worth of alcohol and 400 worth of Mr. G charges and some other small shit. I quickly call my credit card company and chat at them about this and talk to the fraud department the whole time bawling (I know dumb hey). The lady I got was great and helped me out. WE had to go through my statement item by item and the dumb fucks were still trying to use it but maxed me out so it was a blessing my limit is low. I use it for emergency or quickie trips to see the boyfriend. Well got a call today and they caught the shits. They were to stupid. All the freaking porn they ordered from Shaw came to a particular Shaw box and house, so that is how they caught then. Plus they never had my card just found a number and expiry and had friends who worked at the liquor store and convenience store. But I still have to wait to get my money back and they have to send me new credit card and I also had to cancel my other cards and the bank is issuing me new bank cards.
BUT this is so messing up my vacation and my time that I could be with my boyfriend. I have to sit here waiting for all my freaking new stuff to come. I want to cry and just need to bitch about it. SORRY
OK I am feeling better bitching this out.

He has offered to do that more then once, but it is me. I want to do this on my own and not feel obligated ( for a lack of a better word). It is just hard waiting. I seem to have this curse over me that the minute I am happy some thing happens to mess it up for me. lol
I am fine now had a bit of a pity party for one and talked to my bro and I am all better now and it is cool.

Wow been up for almost 30 hours now with about 4 hours sleep all total in this time. I home trying to sleep and just can't. Being a bit pissy today. Maybe it is the lack of sleep or the stress of the Christmas time crunch. So many things to do and so many people want a piece of me. Oh that sounds bad but what I mean is I have so many that want me with them for Christmas that I feel pulled to pieces and just feel over whelmed. I know poor baby, could be worse no one could want you. See what I mean screwed right now and need to sleep. Don't really want to take anything as that might mess me up more. Freak what am I doing typing all this for and who cares what the hell I am doing. OMG needs to go and say bye bye or night night.

Well my MO is to run away when things get rough for me and I feel I can't deal. I sent an email to the most amazing man telling him I needed space and that I was scared and would not be there as planned. Well me being I sent him and email as I couldn't seem to spit out the words right. I did try, but I am not very good at it. Well we talked after he wanted to talk about all of this and well I should have trusted in him more. He is amazing and such a great guy. He said he understood but wished I would have told him sooner. He told me I could tell him anything and he would try and understand. HUMMMM that made my day as I thought I was going to be single again. I guess I just need to trust and believe in people and relax and not over analyze so much. lol
This is the first time I have smiled all day and it makes me happy and not so lost I guess.

Yes I am going to see him. He was good about letting me have the time I needed to make things clear. Christmas is a hard time to leave loved ones and go start a new adventure, even for love. He was a bit hurt by me taking the cowards way and emailing him my feelings but he understood once we talked it out. I just needed to say everything without interruptions then I was able to talk it out. I am paying only because I want to. He has offered to pay and has also said he would come here if I wasn't coming there. That meant a lot to me and shows me he is in this for the long haul per say. So we aren't spending christmas together but we will have New Years together and what a new years it will be. lol Ok to much sharing LMAOROTFL

I hope she likes it. It would hurt me intensly to think I've thrown that kind of money down a toilet. I got a heck of a deal on it so I didn't have to hock the farm to pay for it. I think she suspects she might be getting something special. After all, it is kinda hard to get a ring size without blowing the surprise.

Question:
How do people adjust to going from a small town of 300 people to a big city like in the USA.
I am planning a move and right now I live were there is only roughly 300 people and the next town in hour away and is roughly 87 thousand. The city I am moving to is roughly million I might say not to sure but it is big. I have been told about the city and how you need to be careful and people don't talk to people and socialize on the street. Going running by myself is not advised. I mean it is a good city in Ohio but I am pretty naive about city life and the ins and outs.
My boyfriend kind of scared me with what to expect....not that he meant to do that and I guess I scared him into thinking I might not come now.
NO he is more important then that but I do have fears... Should I and if not how do I get rid of them so I do not show him that I am terrified.
The West side I have heard is safe and the East side you need to watch but I should have no reason to be there really so is that what I do just avoid certain parts of town, not go out, make sure someone is with me all the time..
I understand he says this is not the broncs or east LA but to me and with what he has said. To me it is like that in my mind. :(
Gosh that idea freaks me. At my home I don't have to lock my doors. I know all my neighbours and socialize with. I talk to people waiting in line ups. When I walk down the street people smile and say hi and I say hi back. I know everyone and have many friends. I can go running for hours late at night or early in the morning...
OK am I making to much out of all of this?
I don't want to hurt my boyfriend or have him think I don't want to be there, but I do need to be realistic to what I need to expect.

Do you ever feel you say things because you think they are right even though you feel hurt. Then come to find out the person you want to protect doesn't want an out. I guess this doesn't make any sense only to the person whom I was trying to give an out to. Distance can make or break you so can silence.
