Okay, I work for a retail company and I helped this customer with a digital camera. We connected so well that somehow we started to talk about our birthdays and hers and mine are 3 days apart and we both are 23. So anyways I assisted her with a camera and found out her name was unique and I said %26quot;That's a lovely name%26quot;. She said %26quot;Thank you, so is yours%26quot;. She then told me to add her on facebook so we can chat. We talked frequently by sending facebook emails. She realized I was %26quot;harmless%26quot; hence she gave me her number. I called her up and finally we agreed to meet up in person and kinda get to know each other.
Things went pretty well the first time we met up. We got coffee and talked for a while and she wanted me to drive her (even though she had her car, she was way too tired) to FutureShop to buy a TV. So I drove her there and she told her friend (who works at FS), isnt he great? he is such a good friend.
Second time, I took the initiative again and asked her we should hang out. She said what you want to do? I said I don't know, maybe hang out at your place or play pool or go to the movies? She had a *slight* pause for a second so I said %26quot;I understand if you say no.%26quot; She said no no I would like that. So coincidentally it was last year's Halloween and she looked stunning. I said You look beautiful *her name*. She said %26quot;Thank you%26quot;. She asked me where I wanted to sit? She further on said I would like to be at the top cause she doesn't like the noise at the middle. So I kinda pointed near the corner and she was cool with that. Nothing happened during the movie by the way. When we said at the end of the night, it was nice. I liked it, we went separate ways. As we are doing that, she said %26quot;come here, give me a hug%26quot;. So i did that, then we left.
Some time later like 2 weeks or something, we agreed to meet up but she had a migraine and she did not show up. I was quite upset actually. But she did call me up around 8:30PM and she finally showed up and it was 9PM, she was hungry and stuff so we just ate at the movies food stands. I don't know what I did or how I did but she told me her entire childhood life, PERSONAL life. So of course at this point I am thinking she definitely can %26quot;lean on me%26quot; kinda guy. She said not to tell anyone otherwise she would %26quot;kill%26quot; me aka would be super upset if i did. Rest assured I didn't.
So anyways fast forward to 2010 may. Recently, she said she would pick me up from my college, we would get Star Bucks, talk for a bit and go to her house to watch Shrek the Third movie. Then she would drop me off home. That was the ORIGINAL PLAN that she and I agreed upon. Original plan would have taken apprx. 30mins. She had other things in mind though. We were out for TWO hrs!! She asked me if I was interested in homemade fruit juice and I was like yeah that sounds cool. So we did that and then we got fries and gravy from another location. We went to a mountain and sat in the car. We talked about families, relations and friendship and a guy who still has a crush for her but she doesn't find him attractive one bit. I believe her. The guy got so jealous when she said I am hanging out with my friend today. He said are you his date? a girlfriend? do you have a thing for him? She said no, what I do with my life is my call, not yours! I said I agree, you did the right thing. We then went to her house, she showed me her clothing shopping and asked for my approval for over a dozen clothing. I disagreed on some of them. I then helped her grind cheese and I was on the couch grinding it when she noticed couple of cheese strings fell on my %26quot;crotch%26quot; area. She said %26quot;you got some cheese on your crotch%26quot;. I said I suppose you don't wanna have that. She laughed and that was that. Later on when it was time for me to go and she was getting ready to drop me off, she wanted to change into her sweatpants when she accidentally forgot she had put them in her washroom and she was in her bedroom. She said %26quot;*my name*, can you please cover your eyes? I am half naked. I forgot my sweatpants in the washroom%26quot;. I knew I'd peek if I did that. So what did i do? I stared at the damn ceiling.
Then third time, I took the initiative again and asked her to do stuff and she accidentally forgot we had plans. So she suggested why don't you come over my place and I will make lasagna for us. You can bring in some movies and we can watch it right after. So I brought some movies and one of 'em was American Pie Beta House and she was interested to see that.
Here are some information in point forms
1) Last 3 times, I met her she wore a %26quot;SKIRT%26quot;. She dresses up really nice whenever we go out
2) I showed her support when one of her friends had an operation. I accompanied her to the hospital to visit that friend. I know that friend because me her and her friend went to Is she waiting for me to make a move?I think if u like her why not go for it i think she is a nice girl %26gt;%26gt;%26gt; good luck go for itIs she waiting for me to make a move?OK that was a very, very, very LONG question. But i promise you that i read everything.
My girly-point-of-view says she's into you. She rather stay in her house mostly, in a more %26quot;intimate%26quot; place, where things can happen. First of all, she passed her Facebook. I promise to you that i did it already, because i knew that was the only way we could continue to talk to each other, check his profile, stuff like that. She would NEVER gone out with you if she hadn't like your profile.
I guess what you are not doing is having some attitude about it. You can take her out 10000000000 times, but things need to happen. By your letter you guys didnt even kissed yet right? You might be thinking %26quot;maybe it will sound weird%26quot;. So first, tell her about how you feel. Like, that time when you were talking and she said to her ex boyfriend or something %26quot;im going out with my friend%26quot; and then she said %26quot;is non of you business%26quot; or something.. I BET SHE WANTED YOU TO SAY SOMETHING LIKE %26quot;But...what are we??%26quot; you know..GET A LITTLE DEEP into your relationship! is gonna be 1 year almost! make a step!!!! SHE'S ALSO SCARED!!!! AND CONFUSED! so GO THERE. call her and tell her you really wanted to talk to her (not just another ordinary hang-out)..try to look at her without talking (she'll get that your about to talk something about you 2) and then ask her, if you prefer %26quot;What are we?%26quot;
GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL
You got yourself a gf!
GOOD LUCKIs she waiting for me to make a move?stop acting like her gay friend, and act like a man say something like im going shopping in a few days you wanna tag along%26quot; then dont pay for anything of hers and make a move toward the end of the day

Do you think this girl is too weird?
her name is marybeth and shes sixteen. im 15 but that doesn%26#039;t really bother her. we are just friends as for now, but shes really cool. but people say shes weird. she plays the drums. she listens to all sorts of music. she can play the piano by ear. she%26#039;s a vegetarian. shes nice!!! she has a twin and shes never had a boyfriend. but i read her survey she took on myspace, and something seems odd about her.
here it is:
Think back to your most important relationship, was it all your fault it%26#039;s over?
I%26#039;ve never been in a relationship.
Is there anyone you would seriously punch right now if you had the chance?
Punch, What am I, twelve? I%26#039;d kick someone in the ******* face
if I could. He knows who he is.
Do you think that blondes are stupid, honestly?
They%26#039;re more of along the lines... Attention seeking.
They dumb themselves down for attention.
It%26#039;s kind of obvious.
Do you love where you live right now?
Of course I don%26#039;t love where I live.
I need to get the **** out of America.
What were you doing 12 AM last night?
Sleeping.
First thing you thought when you woke up?
%26quot;I%26#039;m tired and cold!%26quot;
Who was the last person you had a phone conversation for more than 20 minutes?
I don%26#039;t know. Last night I had a 22 minute conversation
with my mom. We almost made it to 30 minutes if my
dad wouldn%26#039;t have interrupted us... %26quot;That%26#039;s what she said...%26quot;
Have you ever regretted letting someone go?
It is what it is.
Would you go out in public looking like you do now?
I wouldn%26#039;t.
Have you held hands with somebody in the past three days?
No.
How was your weekend?
Pretty good.
Do you believe once a cheater always a cheater?
I suppose there%26#039;s always room for change.
Can a boy and girl be friends without having feelings for each other?
Yeah.
Have you ever had a really big fight with a best friend?
If you haven%26#039;t; you%26#039;re not human.
If you could spend more time with someone you used to be very close with would you?
Because me of all people would be able to get that chance.
Oh, that%26#039;s SO likely...
Yeah, maybe in a million or so years.
When was the last time you cried really hard?
It%26#039;s been a while.
Is there someone you%26#039;d like to fix things with?
I%26#039;d like to make amends and get to the bottom of things.
But not necessarily fix them. That would mean, going
back to what was once there. And I wasn%26#039;t happy then.
What are you listening to at the moment?
My thoughts. My endless, degrading, life changing thoughts.
At least it%26#039;s changing my life, and my perspective and the
way I see things.
If you were at reasonable age, would you prefer a baby boy or girl?
At first, boy.
What were you doing at 7:00 this morning?
I was getting ready.
Have you ever fallen in love before?
No, haven%26#039;t gotten that chance yet.
Have you ever found someone you really really really REALLY like?
I have! But, you know how it works.
What were you doing last night?
Uh, watching a movie and went to sleep.
Exciting enough?
Hows your heart ?
Nice and bloody. Beating quite slowly.
Did you cry today?
Negative.
Did you see a boy today that made you smile?
My brother.
What are your plans for your next birthday?
Hopefully getting a car. But I might get one before I turn 17.
How many days till your next birthday?
Goodness, too many.
Does anyone disgust you?
The human ******* race disgusts me.
America%26#039;s government disgusts me.
Are you wasting your time on someone?
Not currently interested at anyone at the moment.
Has anyone made you feel like crap lately for something they did?
Pretty much. It%26#039;s an ongoing cycle that I%26#039;ve learn to live with.
Are you married?
No.
Can you honestly say you%26#039;re okay right now?
Yeah.
Do you have any drugs in your room?
No way Jose. %26gt;:%26#039;D
Have you ever broken anyone%26#039;s heart?
Probably.
Do you think about anyone before you go to bed?
Not necessarily one person.
My mind usually storms with thoughts about
numerous subjects. I%26#039;m not much of a people person, so...
So, will you be sleeping on the floor tonight?
No, I have a bed.
Do you get distracted easily?
Positive.
Have you ever fallen asleep in someone%26#039;s arms?
When I was an infant and my mother/father held me? Yes.
Do you believe everyone deserves a second chance?
You shouldn%26#039;t deserve a second chance.
You%26#039;d have to earn it.
And you know not everyone thinks it%26#039;s worth working
for a second chance that they might not even get.
I%26#039;d know. Story of my life.
How many people do you trust 100 percent?
Zero.
Do you have current feelings for anybody?
Obviously not.
Have you ever had the cops called on you?
No.
Has the opposite sex ever written you a poem?
No.
Do you think a lot of people think bad things about you?
Probably. I bet there%26#039;s a few people reading my survey
answers like %26quot;What the **** is this girls problem? Where
the **** does this nutjob get half the **** she says?%26quot; Haha.
Is there someone you used to talk to every sinDo you think this girl is too weird?nothing is wrong with her she is just unique in her own way... if u like her a lot then go for it u should not care what ppl say about her if she makes u happy then please go for it cuz the ppl that tell u this are not going to be the one who makes u happy (the girl will..well if she does) go by what ur heart says...choose wisely...glDo you think this girl is too weird?She seems like a fun girl, but she also seems like a broken girl.Do you think this girl is too weird?I don%26#039;t think she sounds weird. It sounds to me like she%26#039;s very honest and cynical.Do you think this girl is too weird?Um, no. I don%26#039;t even see what%26#039;s supposed to be %26quot;weird%26#039; about her.Do you think this girl is too weird?na shes not weird, theres a lot stranger people in this worldDo you think this girl is too weird?nah jst a lil bitDo you think this girl is too weird?shes not wierd i think shes trying to make her friends laugh at it and think its really her....if it is, thats just her personality and she likes it and other people like it too.Do you think this girl is too weird?well i actually don%26#039;t believe in weird girls only that they want attention from other people and being so called weird is attention for them so if i were you i would spend more time with her so you can get to know here better the real her and then she will see that one actually pays attention to her and will spend more time with you and will eventually fall for you
hope i helped manDo you think this girl is too weird?Your question is short and simple but you wrote so much stuff. She is telling a lot about how she thinks, if you read what she wrote carefully. Why don%26#039;t you discuss what she wrote and ask her to explain the things that you think are weird. I hope you don%26#039;t think that a 16 year old person is fully developed. There is much time for change. If you like her, then find out what makes her tick! I think she%26#039;s normal, but definately not simpleminded!!! If you like a challenge, go for it!Do you think this girl is too weird?She%26#039;s a thinker! Sounds quite interesting though, hang out with her and get to know her. Your not marrying her straight away or anything!Do you think this girl is too weird?Nope she is deff not too weird ... in all possibilities, im much weirder lol
But hey... she sounds smart and she surely has good sense of humor, i love her XDDo you think this girl is too weird?I don%26#039;t really think she%26#039;s weird. She%26#039;s just really honest and real and to be honest I respect that of her. She seems to have her life in order and she knows what shes thinking. I have a feeling she%26#039;s very independent.Do you think this girl is too weird?she%26#039;s above average intelligence, and not entirely witty, but still tries to be humorous. in person, she probably seems emo.
she%26#039;s not creepy, just a bit nerdy.
what%26#039;s creepy is posting a myspace survey of a girl you like on yahoo! answers for all to see.Do you think this girl is too weird?Um... i dont know the question was too long but about the dumb blonde thing it%26#039;s a stereotype but i%26#039;ve met sum PRETTY DUMB BLONDES!Do you think this girl is too weird?that dumb survey isn%26#039;t going to tell you $hit about her!
she sounds like an interesting girl %26amp; you should pursue her...you%26#039;ll find that when you grow up/go to college, this type of girl is the most sought-after. People may think she%26#039;s weird now, in high school, but really she sounds quite normal, to me!
here it is:

How does the beginning of my book sound?
The In Between
Chapter 1
Life is either black or white, period. To me there were no grey areas. There were no ‘should a, could a, would a’. You did or you didn’t, it was or it wasn’t. You know or you don’t. I lived my life on impulse and I left no room for questions.
If you asked me a question such as, “What are you doing for your seventeenth birthday Tiffany?”
I would have responded with, “Sitting at home with some home-made ice-cream and watch re-runs of Sanford and Son.” Whether I was or I wasn’t. That’s just the way it is.
I wasn’t always like this, it just happened over time. And if you asked, “If you could go back and change the way you are, would you?”
I would answer with, “No, it is supposed to be this way. Everything happens for a reason.” Either I would change again over time or I wouldn’t.
I don’t do ‘what if’s’; and it frustrated me to no end when people asked.
“What if we go to the Bistro for dinner tonight instead of staying home?” my mother asked as she flipped thru Fine Homes Magazine.
“Do you want to stay in tonight?” I asked as she looked up at me and pushed the magazine aside.
“Well, no, not really...”
“Do you want to go to the Bistro?”
“Yes,”
“Then it’s settled. We go to the Bistro for dinner.” I said as I stood up. My mother looked annoyed. She hated when I did that.
“You’re always so final. Don’t you ever wonder about things for a moment?”
“No.” I said without thinking. She rolled her eyes at me and grabbed her car keys.
“Fine. Go get your father from his study. I’ll meet you in the car.” She said as she walked out the kitchen and out the front door. I got up and went down the hall to my fathers study/ office.
I knocked on his door twice and when he didn’t answer I let myself in. He had his chair turned away from me facing the window that overlooked the lake. All I saw was his sandy blond hair.
“Dad,” he swiveled around to face me looking half sleep. “You know mom hates it when you sleep in here.” He just smiled at me.
“I know. So what’s up?” he asked as he organized some of his papers on the desk.
“Mom wants to go to the Bistro, you coming?” he looked up at me with his blue-grey eyes that I had inherited.
“Who made the decision?” he asked with a smile.
“Me. She brought it up. She didn’t feel like cooking. I know this otherwise she wouldn’t have asked.” My father knew all too well how I was. “Are you going?”
“Yeah sure, why not?” he said as he got up. He came over to me and put his arm around me and walked me out the door hitting the light switch on our way out.
Every time my dad had his skin against mine I couldn’t help but to see the major difference. His white skin was a shocking contrast to my more melanin enhanced dark-brown skin. But there was no denying he was my father. The blue-grey eyes the long hair that had two natural streaks of blond in it and his height. I felt like a giraffe.
But at the same time I looked like my mother. Her dark complexion, her dark brown hair slightly nappy with out a relaxer, her build and her facial features.
“What took you two so long?” my mother asked as we approached the Hummer.
“A minute is long to you if you’re the one waiting.” My father said as he opened the back door for me to get in. “So I take it I’m the one driving?”
“I would think so since I’m not in the driver’s seat.”
“But I have no clue as to where the Bistro is.” He said as he slid in and shut his door. “And you’re not good with directions.” He was right about that. We had gotten stuck in the middle of nowhere when we were going cross-country to visit my mom’s side of the family in Shreveport, Louisiana. My father had let my mom drive when he got tired. We wound up St. Louis, Missouri the next day. At least that’s when my father invested in a GPS navigation system.
“Tiffany, do you know where it is?”
“Yes.” I said without hesitation. My father pulled out the drive way while I did my roll as back-seat-driver.How does the beginning of my book sound?hmm...very interesting. Tiffany's character isnt like ones i've read in other books and im interested on what the story is about and why she became that way. great chapter, keep writing! (=How does the beginning of my book sound?I like Tiffany's character. Reading the very beginning makes the reader wonder what ever made her like she is. It's a good introduction overall. You may be to quick to jump sometimes, but that's a minor tweak that's easy to fix. I wonder what storyline lies ahead for this story...?
Chapter 1
Life is either black or white, period. To me there were no grey areas. There were no ‘should a, could a, would a’. You did or you didn’t, it was or it wasn’t. You know or you don’t. I lived my life on impulse and I left no room for questions.
If you asked me a question such as, “What are you doing for your seventeenth birthday Tiffany?”
I would have responded with, “Sitting at home with some home-made ice-cream and watch re-runs of Sanford and Son.” Whether I was or I wasn’t. That’s just the way it is.
I wasn’t always like this, it just happened over time. And if you asked, “If you could go back and change the way you are, would you?”
I would answer with, “No, it is supposed to be this way. Everything happens for a reason.” Either I would change again over time or I wouldn’t.
I don’t do ‘what if’s’; and it frustrated me to no end when people asked.
“What if we go to the Bistro for dinner tonight instead of staying home?” my mother asked as she flipped thru Fine Homes Magazine.
“Do you want to stay in tonight?” I asked as she looked up at me and pushed the magazine aside.
“Well, no, not really...”
“Do you want to go to the Bistro?”
“Yes,”
“Then it’s settled. We go to the Bistro for dinner.” I said as I stood up. My mother looked annoyed. She hated when I did that.
“You’re always so final. Don’t you ever wonder about things for a moment?”
“No.” I said without thinking. She rolled her eyes at me and grabbed her car keys.
“Fine. Go get your father from his study. I’ll meet you in the car.” She said as she walked out the kitchen and out the front door. I got up and went down the hall to my fathers study/ office.
I knocked on his door twice and when he didn’t answer I let myself in. He had his chair turned away from me facing the window that overlooked the lake. All I saw was his sandy blond hair.
“Dad,” he swiveled around to face me looking half sleep. “You know mom hates it when you sleep in here.” He just smiled at me.
“I know. So what’s up?” he asked as he organized some of his papers on the desk.
“Mom wants to go to the Bistro, you coming?” he looked up at me with his blue-grey eyes that I had inherited.
“Who made the decision?” he asked with a smile.
“Me. She brought it up. She didn’t feel like cooking. I know this otherwise she wouldn’t have asked.” My father knew all too well how I was. “Are you going?”
“Yeah sure, why not?” he said as he got up. He came over to me and put his arm around me and walked me out the door hitting the light switch on our way out.
Every time my dad had his skin against mine I couldn’t help but to see the major difference. His white skin was a shocking contrast to my more melanin enhanced dark-brown skin. But there was no denying he was my father. The blue-grey eyes the long hair that had two natural streaks of blond in it and his height. I felt like a giraffe.
But at the same time I looked like my mother. Her dark complexion, her dark brown hair slightly nappy with out a relaxer, her build and her facial features.
“What took you two so long?” my mother asked as we approached the Hummer.
“A minute is long to you if you’re the one waiting.” My father said as he opened the back door for me to get in. “So I take it I’m the one driving?”
“I would think so since I’m not in the driver’s seat.”
“But I have no clue as to where the Bistro is.” He said as he slid in and shut his door. “And you’re not good with directions.” He was right about that. We had gotten stuck in the middle of nowhere when we were going cross-country to visit my mom’s side of the family in Shreveport, Louisiana. My father had let my mom drive when he got tired. We wound up St. Louis, Missouri the next day. At least that’s when my father invested in a GPS navigation system.
“Tiffany, do you know where it is?”
“Yes.” I said without hesitation. My father pulled out the drive way while I did my roll as back-seat-driver.How does the beginning of my book sound?hmm...very interesting.

Why do the whites think they are superior than the rest ?
This letter was written in response to an article in the NY times:(with no harm meant to anyone in particular)
Dear Editor: I'm sorry but I would like to challenge some of your Indian male readers. I am a White female who is engaged to an Indian male, good-looking, educated and loving. I just don't understand a lot of Indian female's attitudes about our relationship. My man decided he wanted me because the pickings amongst Indian women were slim to none. As he said they were either too fat, too loud, too mean, too argumentative, too needy, too materialistic or carrying too much excess baggage. Before I became engaged, whenever I went out I was constantly approached by Indian men, willing to wine and dine me and give me the world. If Indian women are so up in arms about us being with their men, why don't they look at themselves and make some changes. I am tired of the dirty looks I get and snide remarks when we're out in public. I would like to hear from some Indian men about why we white women are so appealing and coveted by them. Bryant Gumbel just left his wife of 26 years for oneof us. Charles Barkley, Scottie Pippen, the model Tyson Beckford, Montell Williams, Quincy Jones, James Earl Jones, Harry Belafonte, SydneyPoitier, Kofi Anan, Cuba Gooding Jr., Don Cornelius, Berry Gordy, Billy Blanks, Larry Fishburne, Wesley Snipes...I could go on and on. But, right now, I'm a little angry and that is why I wrote this so hurriedly. Don't be mad with us White women because so many of your men want us. Get your acts together and learn from us and we may lead you to treat your men better. If I'm wrong, Indian men, let me know.

The Response: Dear Editor:
I would like to respond to the letter written by A Disgusted White Girl. Let me start by saying that I am a 28-year old Indian man. I graduated from one of the most prestigious universities in Atlanta, Georgia with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business Management. I have a good job at a major corporation and have recently purchased a house. So, I consider myself to be among the ranks of successful Non-White men. I will not use my precious time to slander white people. I just want to set the record straight of why Indian men date white women. Back in the day, one of the biggest reasons why Indian men dated white women was because they were considered easy. The Indian girls in my neighborhood were raised traditionally. They were very strict about when they lost their virginity and who they lost it to. Because of our impatience to wait, brothers would look for someone who would give it up easy without too much hassle. So, they turned to the white girls. Nowadays, in my opinion, a lot of Indian males date white women because they are docile and easy to control. A lot of Indian men, because of insecurities, fears, and overall weaknesses, have become intimidated by the strength of our Indian women. We are afraid that our woman will be more successful than us, make more money than us, drive nicer cars and own bigger houses. Because of this fear, many Indian men look for a more docile woman. Someone we can control. I have talked to numerous Indian men and they continuously comment on how easy it is to control and walkover their white women. I just want to set the record straight. I want A Disgusted White Girl to know that not all successful Indian men date white women. Non-Whiteslike Ahmad Rashad, Denzel Washington, Michael Jordan, Morris Chestn!ut,Will Smith, Blair Underwood, Kenneth %26quot;Babyface%26quot; Edmonds, Samuel L. Jackson,and Chris Rock all married strong Non-White women. And, to flip the script, there are numerous white men, in and out of the spot light, who openly or secretly desire Non-White women over white women. Ted Danson, Robert DeNiro, and David Bowie to name a few. I just don't want a disgusted white girl to be misinformed. Stop thinking that because you are white that you are some type of goddess. Remember, when Non-White Egyptian Queens like Hatsepshut and Nitorcris were ruling Dynasties and armies of men in Egypt, you were over in the caves of Europe eating raw meat and beating each other over the head with clubs.
Read your history! It was the Non-White woman that taught you how to cook and season your food. It was the Non-White woman that taught you how to raise your children. It was Non-White women who were breastfeeding and raising your babies during slavery. It is the Non-White woman that had to endure watching their fathers, husbands, and children beaten, killed, and thrown in jail. Indian women were born with two strikes against them: being Non-White and being a woman. And, through all this, Still They Rise! It is because of the Indian women's strength, elegance, power, love and beauty that I could never date anyone except my Indian Queen. It is not just the outer beauty that captivates and draws me to them. It is not the fact that they come in all shapes, sizes, colours and shades that I love them. Their inner beauty is what I find most appealing about Indian women. Their strong spirit, loving and nurturing souls, their integrity, their ability to overcome great obstacles, their willingness to stand for what they believe in, and their determination to succeed and
reach their highest potential while enduring great pain and suffering is why I have fallen in love with Indian women. I honestly believe that your anger is geared more toward jealousy and envy than snotty looks. If this were not so, then why do you continuously go to tanning salons to darken your skin? If you are so proud to be white, then why don't you just be happy with your pale skin? Why do you continue to inject your lips, hips, and breasts with unnatural and dangerous substances so you can look fuller and more voluptuous? I think that your anger is really a result of you wanting to have what the Non-White woman has. BOTTOM LINE: If I were looking for a docile woman, someone I can walkover and control, I would give you a call. But, unfortunately, I am looking for a Virtuous Woman. Someone that can be a good wife and mother to my children. Someone who can be my best friend and understands my struggles. I am looking for a soul mate and; unfortunately, you do not and CANNOT fit the bill.
No offense taken, none given. . . . .

There simply is good and bad in all races.
Both of these people made stupid arguments.
As a point of my personal preference I find non-white women generally more attractive on a superficial level.
White women seem either afraid or not interested.
That Indian guy was simply racist, close minded and supremacist in his views on his so-called %26quot;Indian Queen%26quot;.
The white girl was just getting off on %26quot;stealing%26quot; the Indian men from their %26quot;rightful%26quot; owners.
Get over it people.
A s lut is a s lut no matter her skin colour.
There is no race better than another.
There are however INDIVIDUALS more intelligent, charasmatic, moral, humourous etc than others.
Let's just judge eachother on our own merits.Why do the whites think they are superior than the rest ?I am a %26quot;white%26quot; woman. What that means is my skin is light colored. What it is not telling you is that I am English, German, Norwegian, American Indian, and who knows what else!! How can I, or you be prejudice against anyone? We all started from the same place.Why do the whites think they are superior than the rest ?I am white and don't think I am better than everyone else. But the %26quot;disgusted white girl%26quot; was definately full of herself and just plum STUPID! It really makes me sick that people actually think like that %26amp; would be dumb enough to write a letter like that. People like her make white people look bad. Lots of people from every race choose people of another race. She made it look like people of all colors want a white girl. Its not like that, at all. I am white and I am with a spanish man. But not every spanish man wants a white girl. I think spanish women are very beautiful...There are lots of men that will not date white girls-including white men. So this girl really doesn't know anything. Yes, obviously, other races like white people, but not everyone. She needs to grow up just a little bit. Like I said, I am with a spanish man, so I get dirty looks and remarks, but that is just what comes along with an inter-racial relationship...if you can't handle it, don't choose it! Just because people make remarks don't mean they are jealous...some people disagree with it, others simply dispise it, others just follow the crowd. I, personally, disagree with her saying Indian women are ugly, because all of them are not. Just like with any race, some are pretty, some aren't. And even though looks do count a little bit, it is not everything. In my experience, I have learned that, generally speaking, the finer a man is, the more problems I have with them %26amp; the men that aren't super hot are more genuine %26amp; sincere.Why do the whites think they are superior than the rest ?why do all other races think that all [whites] think alike? what are we a collective or of the sort? besides all of that whatever you call that crap what nationality are all of us whites suppose ably racing in?
p.s. oh yeah no of fence meant or takenWhy do the whites think they are superior than the rest ?Lol! My first %26quot;true love%26quot; was a Kickapoo Indian from Saskatchewan, Canada. I LOVE dark skin on women! Latinos; Greeks; Puerto Ricans; Middle Eastern...I'm drooling already!

They are both wrong.Why do the whites think they are superior than the rest ?It's well known that pale skin is prized in India and some Indian women even use skin lightening creams to get that caucasian look.
So it looks like a lot of Indians think whites are superior to the rest also!Why do the whites think they are superior than the rest ?To some people, the grass looks greener on the other side because familiarity breeds contempt. On the other hand, some like their own grass and familiarity breeds comfort....Why do the whites think they are superior than the rest ?That is in all races.....Why do the whites think they are superior than the rest ?Isn't this a sad state of affairs. Who cares what color your skin is, or where you came from. If you love each then just love each other and don't bother with what everyone else thinks. Maybe you're just living in the wrong neighborhood.Why do the whites think they are superior than the rest ?Yawn-

She asked for it and she got it. If you make broad sweeping generalizations you will get them back...it was a %26quot;tit for tat battle%26quot;, no one won. BTW, why does everyone AWAYS think its the white people who think these things? Or why is it that only white people can be prejudiced and bigoted? ALL races have their fair share people who have these same ugly attributes of bigotry and belief that they are the superior race.

As far as white women being jealous of black (or Indian women). Not really seems to be the other way around. Poor pathetic black women spend millions of dollars in this country on chemicals to straighten their hair (or wear wigs or weaves). In addition, many use bleach creams, color contacts and are only considered attractive (by their own men in fact) if mixed race (Halle Berry is a perfect example). Indian women also spend millions of dollars on bleaching creams and there is a huge hierarchy among the Indians with the lighter being considered the most attractive.

Because of our impatience to wait, brothers would look for someone who would give it up easy without too much hassle. So, they turned to the white girls. Nowadays, in my opinion, a lot of Indian males date white women because they are docile and easy to control. A lot of Indian men, because of insecurities, fears, and overall weaknesses, have become intimidated by the strength of our Indian women. We are afraid that our woman will be more successful than us, make more money than us, drive nicer cars and own bigger houses. Because of this fear, many Indian men look for a more docile woman. Someone we can control. I have talked to numerous Indian men and they continuously comment on how easy it is to control and walkover their white women. I just want to set the record straight. I want A Disgusted White Girl to know that not all successful Indian men date white women. Non-Whiteslike Ahmad Rashad, Denzel Washington, Michael Jordan, Morris Chestn!ut,Will Smith, Blair Underwood, Kenneth %26quot;Babyface%26quot; Edmonds, Samuel L. Jackson,and Chris Rock all married strong Non-White women. And, to flip the script, there are numerous white men, in and out of the spot light, who openly or secretly desire Non-White women over white women. Ted Danson, Robert DeNiro, and David Bowie to name a few. I just don't want a disgusted white girl to be misinformed. Stop thinking that because you are white that you are some type of goddess. Remember, when Non-White Egyptian Queens like Hatsepshut and Nitorcris were ruling Dynasties and armies of men in Egypt, you were over in the caves of Europe eating raw meat and beating each other over the head with clubs.
Read your history! It was the Non-White woman that taught you how to cook and season your food. It was the Non-White woman that taught you how to raise your children. It was Non-White women who were breastfeeding and raising your babies during slavery. It is the Non-White woman that had to endure watching their fathers, husbands, and children beaten, killed, and thrown in jail. Indian women were born with two strikes against them: being Non-White and being a woman. And, through all this, Still They Rise! It is because of the Indian women's strength, elegance, power, love and beauty that I could never date anyone except my Indian Queen. It is not just the outer beauty that captivates and draws me to them. It is not the fact that they come in all shapes, sizes, colours and shades that I love them. Their inner beauty is what I find most appealing about Indian women. Their strong spirit, loving and nurturing souls, their integrity, their ability to overcome great obstacles, their willingness to stand for what they believe in, and their determination to succeed and
reach their highest potential while enduring great pain and suffering is why I have fallen in love with Indian women. I honestly believe that your anger is geared more toward jealousy and envy than snotty looks. If this were not so, then why do you continuously go to tanning salons to darken your skin? If you are so proud to be white, then why don't you just be happy with your pale skin? Why do you continue to inject your lips, hips, and breasts with unnatural and dangerous substances so you can look fuller and more voluptuous? I think that your anger is really a result of you wanting to have what the Non-White woman has. BOTTOM LINE: If I were looking for a docile woman, someone I can walkover and control, I would give you a call. But, unfortunately, I am looking for a Virtuous Woman. Someone that can be a good wife and mother to my children. Someone who can be my best friend and understands my struggles. I am looking for a soul mate and; unfortunately, you do not and CANNOT fit the bill.

Amen to that!Why do the whites think they are superior than the rest ?very interestng post here. there are some white chicks who thik they are goddesses, and i feel bad for them, n/c ovbiousle those are insecure. you also have many white women who arent easy and docile. i hate to see that just b/c a nonwhite guy is with a white girl its because they are easy. my dad dated a white chick, and she was soooooooooooooo nice.. she didnt see colour, and she was also very headstrong and respectful. i also know he dated black women who didnt stand up to him the way the white one did. it depends on the person. there are sadly non white men who believe they are trophies, and i think they are ignorant just to date someone based on their coour- its a prejudice, and one can also say they have cultural hate issues. no one race is better than the other. indian women--- oh they do ot joke! alo of them are very stong ike indian royalty said.. i just hate it when ppl look at mixd race couples and assume things, or when the mixed race couple ( a white chick usually) get stars, and then says well hes with me because YOU people are like this. it looks dumb on both parties. one guy does marry a woman all because shes not like this or that- whether he wants to admit it or not, mostly its because he loved her... now if he loves her ski and her skin only, he's truly a jackass.Why do the whites think they are superior than the rest ?I like Asian girls coz they squeel like lttle piggies.Why do the whites think they are superior than the rest ?The only white women that date black (or non white) males are overweight, unattractive, Roseanne Barr types unless the guy has money. And many black men pursue white women for social status and for mixed race (half-white) children with straight hair. As far as white women being jealous of black (or Indian women). Not really seems to be the other way around. Poor pathetic black women spend millions of dollars in this country on chemicals to straighten their hair (or wear wigs or weaves). In addition, many use bleach creams, color contacts and are only considered attractive (by their own men in fact) if mixed race (Halle Berry is a perfect example). Indian women also spend millions of dollars on bleaching creams and there is a huge hierarchy among the Indians with the lighter being considered the most attractive. One only has to look at the Bollywood cinema and see ZERO dark skinned Indians. Many of them could nearly pass for Italian.
Dear Editor: I'm sorry but I would like to challenge some of your Indian male readers. I am a White female who is engaged to an Indian male, good-looking, educated and loving. I just don't understand a lot of Indian female's attitudes about our relationship. My man decided he wanted me because the pickings amongst Indian women were slim to none. As he said they were either too fat, too loud, too mean, too argumentative, too needy, too materialistic or carrying too much excess baggage. Before I became engaged, whenever I went out I was constantly approached by Indian men, willing to wine and dine me and give me the world. If Indian women are so up in arms about us being with their men, why don't they look at themselves and make some changes. I am tired of the dirty looks I get and snide remarks when we're out in public. I would like to hear from some Indian men about why we white women are so appealing and coveted by them. Bryant Gumbel just left his wife of 26 years for oneof us. Charles Barkley, Scottie Pippen, the model Tyson Beckford, Montell Williams, Quincy Jones, James Earl Jones, Harry Belafonte, SydneyPoitier, Kofi Anan, Cuba Gooding Jr., Don Cornelius, Berry Gordy, Billy Blanks, Larry Fishburne, Wesley Snipes...I could go on and on. But, right now, I'm a little angry and that is why I wrote this so hurriedly. Don't be mad with us White women because so many of your men want us. Get your acts together and learn from us and we may lead you to treat your men better. If I'm wrong, Indian men, let me know.

The Response: Dear Editor:
I would like to respond to the letter written by A Disgusted White Girl. Let me start by saying that I am a 28-year old Indian man. I graduated from one of the most prestigious universities in Atlanta, Georgia with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business Management. I have a good job at a major corporation and have recently purchased a house. So, I consider myself to be among the ranks of successful Non-White men. I will not use my precious time to slander white people. I just want to set the record straight of why Indian men date white women. Back in the day, one of the biggest reasons why Indian men dated white women was because they were considered easy. The Indian girls in my neighborhood were raised traditionally. They were very strict about when they lost their virginity and who they lost it to. Because of our impatience to wait, brothers would look for someone who would give it up easy without too much hassle. So, they turned to the white girls.

I had to stop and read this question and answer. I am a bi-ethnic women (part african and puerto rican american) who understands both sides. I believe that some men (any cultural background or religion) do seek docile, easy going women because their roles have been reversed in the last few decades. White women who date or marry men (wheather or not their socio-economics status match)of color are either curious, rebellious towards their parents and their beliefs, loose and have no sense of morals or are really in love. My personal preference is a multi-ethnic man who is confident in who he is and isnt hung up on race only life and what he is doing with his. White women from my observation of all kinds are generally insecure. Others are cool. I dont have a propblem with white women dating black or latino men but when it becomes a childish issue (i.e. I got your man, I got my dog, he'll do whatever I say or I 'll tell daddy to hang him kind of mentality) then its a problem. So my advice to D.W.W. - If you put yourself in a position that you are not sincere about and you are no confident in yourself or your relationships, don't bother. And to I.R.- g'head brutha! tell it!Amen to that!Why do the whites think they are superior than the rest ?very interestng post here. there are some white chicks who thik they are goddesses, and i feel bad for them, n/c ovbiousle those are insecure. you also have many white women who arent easy and docile. i hate to see that just b/c a nonwhite guy is with a white girl its because they are easy. my dad dated a white chick, and she was soooooooooooooo nice.. she didnt see colour, and she was also very headstrong and respectful. i also know he dated black women who didnt stand up to him the way the white one did. it depends on the person. there are sadly non white men who believe they are trophies, and i think they are ignorant just to date someone based on their coour- its a prejudice, and one can also say they have cultural hate issues. no one race is better than the other. indian women--- oh they do ot joke! alo of them are very stong ike indian royalty said.. i just hate it when ppl look at mixd race couples and assume things, or when the mixed race couple ( a white chick usually) get stars, and then says well hes with me because YOU people are like this. it looks dumb on both parties. one guy does marry a woman all because shes not like this or that- whether he wants to admit it or not, mostly its because he loved her... now if he loves her ski and her skin only, he's truly a jackass.Why do the whites think they are superior than the rest ?I like Asian girls coz they squeel like lttle piggies.Why do the whites think they are superior than the rest ?The only white women that date black (or non white) males are overweight, unattractive, Roseanne Barr types unless the guy has money.

How About a Little Redneck Etiquette......?
Redneck Etiquette
Just when you think you've heard it all.
1. Never take a beer to a job interview.
2. Always identify people in your yard before shooting at them.
3.It's considered tacky to take a cooler to church.
4. If you have to vacuum the bed it's time to change sheets.
5. Even if you're CERTAIN that you are included in the will ... it is still considered tacky to drive a U-Haul to the funeral.
DINING OUT
1. When decanting wine, make sure that you tilt the paper cup and pour slowly so as not to %26quot;bruise%26quot; the fruit of the vine.
2. If drinking directly from the bottle, always hold it with your fingers covering the label.
ENTERTAINING IN YOUR HOME
1. A centerpiece for the table should NEVER be prepared by a taxidermist.
2. Do NOT allow the dog to eat at the table . . . no matter how good his manners are.
PERSONAL HYGIENE
1. While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this is a job that should be done in private using one's OWN truck keys.
2. Proper use of toiletries can forestall bathing for several days. However if you live alone, deodorant is a waste of money.
3. Dirt and grease under the fingernails is a social no-no, as it tends to detract from a woman's jewelry and alter the taste of finger foods.
DATING (OUTSIDE THE FAMILY)
1. Always offer to bait your date's hook, especially on the first date.
2. Be aggressive. Let her know you're interested: %26quot;I've been wantin' to go out with you since I read that stuff on the bathroom wall two years ago....%26quot;
3. Establish with her parents what time she is expected back. Some will say 10:00 PM; others might say %26quot;Monday.%26quot; If the latter is the answer it is the man's responsibility to get her to school on time.
THEATER ETIQUETTE
1. Crying babies should be taken to the lobby and picked up as soon as the movie has ended.
2. Refrain from talking to characters on the screen. Tests have proven they cannot hear you.
WEDDINGS
1. Livestock, usually, is a poor choice for a wedding gift.
2. Kissing the bride for more than five seconds may get you shot.
3. For the groom, at least, rent a tux. A leisure suit with a cumberbund and a clean bowling shirt can create a tacky appearance.
4. Though uncomfortable, say %26quot;yes%26quot; to socks and shoes for this special occasion.
DRIVING ETIQUETTE
1. Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles; even if the gun is loaded, and the deer is in sight.
2. When approaching a four-way stop, the vehicle with the largest tires ALWAYS has the right of way.
3. Never tow another car using panty hose and duct tape.
4. When sending your wife down the road with a gas can, it is impolite to ask her to bring back beer too.
5. Do NOT lay rubber while traveling in a funeral procession.How About a Little Redneck Etiquette......?HaHaHa! Loved the driving etiquette!

Okay i wrote this essay and wanted a second opinion on it (any help would be appreciated)?
okay this is a this i believe essay i wrote and i wanted a second opinion on it and if there are any mistakes or revising to be made any help would be appreciated
A long time ago, I learned that knowledge was the most important attribute in life, a precious gift which opens new doors, and a brighter future.
When I was a small child, I learned firsthand of a life without knowledge can be. It was the beginning of winter and my dad and I were driving to downtown Phoenix, and as my dad was making a hard right turn, and then came a loud shrilling sound. I first thought we hit something. Then realized we had a flat tire. My father pulled the car over, and told me to stay put in the car. I however had other ideas, and the moments my father was busy fixing the tire. I opened the door, and started exploring, and I happened to stand upon a homeless man. I was both nervous and curious, and I immediately asked him why he was living on the street. He replied to me the answer which changed my thought on knowledge forever. He told me because he had no knowledge to do anything to do anything else, and told he wished he could redo his life.
Years later, when I started understanding more, I came across a quote which held me on strong. I was not unable to forget the rest of my life these two quotes of Carlos Castaneda: A man goes to knowledge as he goes to war, wide awake, with fear, with respect, and with absolute assurance. Going to knowledge or going to war in any other manner is a mistake, and whoever makes it will live to regret his steps.
ALEXANDER POPE: A little learning is a dangerous thing; drink deep, or taste not the Pierian Spring: there shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, and drinking largely sobers us again. I first couldn檛 understand these two quotes. They both seemed to be saying the opposite of each other, one was saying knowledge was good, and one saying it was bad. Then I started thinking hard about these quotes, and started understanding. IN life not knowing will only give you problems, like eating something without the knowledge that it can cause great harm. And in life knowing to much will make you sorrow, and depressed forever, like knowing the date of your death.
Lastly, the time I actuality experienced of what knowledge can get you. I was 14 years old, and it was the summer before I went to High school, and I thought it be a good idea to see how I could do on an interview for a job. I was not going to actuality thinking of getting a job, just wanted to see how I handled myself on applying for a job. I applied for position of a manager for Target. I applied, and took on an interview, and in that moment, when the interviewer asked me questions of my skills. I found out how important knowledge could be, and I wasn檛 chosen for the position, due to my knowledge and experience. I found out that knowledge shows where you belonged, and what you can do.
I have used the value of knowledge in my life to succeed, and do well. I can not believe how my life would have turned out if I didn檛 recognize the value of knowledge.Okay i wrote this essay and wanted a second opinion on it (any help would be appreciated)?um its good except in the fisrt sentece:When I was a small child, I learned firsthand of a life without knowledge can be. it should be: i learned firsthand of what a life without.
hope i helped!

I was 14 years old, and it was the summer before I went to High school, and I thought it be a good idea to see how I could do on an interview for a job. I was not going to actuality thinking of getting a job, just wanted to see how I handled myself on applying for a job. I applied for position of a manager for Target. I applied, and took on an interview, and in that moment, when the interviewer asked me questions of my skills. I found out how important knowledge could be, and I wasn檛 chosen for the position, due to my knowledge and experience. I found out that knowledge shows where you belonged, and what you can do.

I find it interesting.
When I was a small child, I learned firsthand of a life without knowledge can be. It was the beginning of winter and my dad and I were driving to downtown Phoenix, and as my dad was making a hard right turn, and then came a loud shrilling sound. I first thought we hit something. Then realized we had a flat tire. My father pulled the car over, and told me to stay put in the car. I however had other ideas, and the moments my father was busy fixing the tire. I opened the door, and started exploring, and I happened to stand upon a homeless man. I was both nervous and curious, and I immediately asked him why he was living on the street. He replied to me the answer which changed my thought on knowledge forever. He told me because he had no knowledge to do anything to do anything else, and told he wished he could redo his life.
Years later, when I started understanding more, I came across a quote which held me on strong. I was not unable to forget the rest of my life these two quotes of Carlos Castaneda: A man goes to knowledge as he goes to war, wide awake, with fear, with respect, and with absolute assurance. Going to knowledge or going to war in any other manner is a mistake, and whoever makes it will live to regret his steps.
ALEXANDER POPE: A little learning is a dangerous thing; drink deep, or taste not the Pierian Spring: there shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, and drinking largely sobers us again. I first couldn檛 understand these two quotes. They both seemed to be saying the opposite of each other, one was saying knowledge was good, and one saying it was bad. Then I started thinking hard about these quotes, and started understanding. IN life not knowing will only give you problems, like eating something without the knowledge that it can cause great harm. And in life knowing to much will make you sorrow, and depressed forever, like knowing the date of your death.

7. What%26#039;s the funniest %26quot;pregnancy story%26quot; you have so far?
8. What are you most nervous/scared about (labor, delivery, etc.)?
Here are my answers:
1. How far along are you?
--- 26 weeks exactly.
2. Was this a planned pregnancy?
--- Not at all, it was a huge surprise.
3. Boy or girl (if you know)?
--- GIRL!
4. How are you feeling today?
--- Crappy. I haven%26#039;t been sleeping well at all, so I%26#039;m way overly tired. Therefore I%26#039;ve been getting headaches and have been weapy and really emotional, as is what always happens when I don%26#039;t get enough sleep. I also have had horrible heartburn for the past 2 days, which nothing seems to help. And I have company coming today that will be here until Sunday morning, so it%26#039;s not like I can laze around, even though that%26#039;s all I want to do. So in short, I%26#039;ve been better.
5. What%26#039;s been your biggest craving?
--- Ice chips.
6. How has your relationship changed with the baby%26#039;s dad?

7. What%26#039;s the funniest %26quot;pregnancy story%26quot; you have so far?
--- Towards the end of my first trimester I was really emotional. One day my fiance (baby%26#039;s dad) called from work to check on me and I was in tears because I had dropped something (I was frustrated with how clumsy I%26#039;d become), so he told me to stop what I was doing (cleaning) and meet him at his work and he%26#039;d take me to dinner. I was fine when I got to his work, but no more than 5 minutes after getting in the car I burst into tears again. He asked what was wrong and I said, %26quot;Nothing, I%26#039;m pregnant!%26quot; He thought that was hilarious and has made a point to tell all of our family and friends about it.
8. What are you most nervous/scared about (labor, delivery, etc.)?
--- I%26#039;m actually not really scared about the labor or delivery. What I%26#039;m most scared about is that my fiance and I will be so preoccupied cuddling our daughter after she%26#039;s born that we won%26#039;t get any pictures taken of her right after the birth.

7. What%26#039;s the funniest %26quot;pregnancy story%26quot; you have so far?
Ummm...I can%26#039;t really think of anything funny, except the time at DD when a lady behind me said...%26quot;Are you sure you should be drinking coffee if you%26#039;re pregnant?%26quot; and I said, %26quot;Are you sure you should be eating that donut if you%26#039;re fat?%26quot;

Everyone always referred to my baby as %26quot;he%26quot;, %26quot;him%26quot;, %26quot;buddy%26quot;. Automatically assuming it was a boy. So when I went to my 20 week ultrasound I had already prepared myself to see a little pee pee. Surpise! The ultrasound tech said it was girl!

6. How has your relationship changed with the baby%26#039;s dad? We have gotten closer. We both take a moment out of every day where we both rub my belly and talk to baby together. We are trying to get as many date nights in a possible now because we know that once she is here, that will soon change. We are coming together and we are counting down the weeks until we are parents.
7. What%26#039;s the funniest %26quot;pregnancy story%26quot; you have so far? I was just over 4 months pregnant when I went to the grocery store to pick up some buns and salad for a BBQ we were going to. I walked by the cart that has all types of olives in it and I had to drop my basket and I went running to the washroom because the smell made my beyound nausecous. I ended up throwing up in a gorcery store bathroom for 5 mintues! To this day, I avoid those carts because I am afraid of the smell.
8. What are you most nervous/scared about (labor, delivery, etc.)? It is just so unkown and nothing that I nor we have experienced before so I am afraid of almost all of it.

7. What%26#039;s the funniest %26quot;pregnancy story%26quot; you have so far?
~A few weeks ago I was really craving dinner from this Italian place. My boyfriend didn%26#039;t want to go and spend money, but I DEMANDED that he take me there so I could have it. I totally gorged on salad, pasta, chicken and breadsticks. About 45 minutes after we got home, I got a really bad stomachache and went to the bathroom because I thought I had to poo. I sat there for awhile, unable to go, and then I got REALLY hot. I ended up stripping off all of my clothes and was in the bathroom moaning because the pain in my stomach was so intense. Then I got violently ill and threw up everything I had eaten. I felt better immediately after that (I just ate waaaay too much) but my boyfriend came in to find me sitting on the floor in front of the toilet completely naked. LOL He was really nice and didn%26#039;t give me a hard time even though I just HAD to have that Italian food!
8. What are you most nervous/scared about (labor, delivery, etc.)?

4. How are you feeling today?
Tired, this was supposed to go away after the first trimester, but it hasnt so far.
5. What%26#039;s been your biggest craving?
French Fries, i loved them to begin with, but now i cannot live without them.
6. How has your relationship changed with the baby%26#039;s dad?
Well so far it is not much different, we have a 20 month old already, so it has changed since having her. we dont have as much time to spend alone, and everything has to be about her first. which is good, but at times can be frustrating.
7. What%26#039;s the funniest %26quot;pregnancy story%26quot; you have so far?
well I dont have one for this one yet, but when i was pregnant with my daughter I had a guy start talking to me in the post office and he was asking me how far along I was, and when i told him he was very surprised because i was (as he put it) %26quot;huge%26quot;. but he told me not to worry about it, because his neice was big boned too, and she thinned right out after the baby was born!! I could believe he actually said that to me!
oh and my daughter was due on october 4th, and my little brother kept insisting that i should hold her in until november. my b-day is nov. 5th, and his is nov. 4th. so he thought it would be cool if she was born on the 3rd, or the 6th. and no matter how many times i tried to tell him that it just wasnt possible, he kept trying to tell me to wait a little longer.
8. What are you most nervous/scared about (labor, delivery, etc.)?
well i have done it once, but i am nervous that i will have to be induced again. I really dont want to be because it was horrible beig hooked up the entire time, i wasnt able to labor on my own. and i am always scared of tearing, it freaks me out to think of it.Anyone want to do a pregnancy survey?1.

7. What%26#039;s the funniest %26quot;pregnancy story%26quot; you have so far?
So the first trimester- I was SICK as a dog. I was throwing up about 5 times a day. Anyway, one day I was throwing up in the bathroom, and my 2 year old daughter came in and saw me. I was afraid she%26#039;d be worried or concerned. But nope, she just said. %26quot;Mommy, no. Potty bum. Not potty face.%26quot; Yep, she just proceeded to teach me that you potty from your bum, not from your face.
8. What are you most nervous/scared about (labor, delivery, etc.)?
Well, after 15 hours of labor, I had an emergency C-section with my first pregnancy and the anesthesia didn%26#039;t work. So when they started cutting, I felt it! I ended up being knocked out, but it was a traumatic experience. So I%26#039;m just terrified of another C-section. I still have nightmares about it.Anyone want to do a pregnancy survey?1.

3. Boy or girl (if you know)?

--- Overall pretty well. I have some heartburn going on, which is new. Also a little sore %26amp; achy around the midsection/back.
5. What%26#039;s been your biggest craving?
--- Throughout the pregnancy, I craved fruity, frozen stuff (smoothies, sherbet, Icees etc.). Now I%26#039;m on a huge fast food kick, which is too bad for my husband since he%26#039;s trying to lose weight and has basically no willpower.

--- We have a more intimate bond than we did before. The sex is better since we don%26#039;t have to worry about knocking me up anymore. Also we%26#039;re way more lovey-dovey.
7. What%26#039;s the funniest %26quot;pregnancy story%26quot; you have so far?
--- Um, no hilarious pregnancy material yet. Maybe the funny stuff will come in a few weeks.
8. What are you most nervous/scared about (labor, delivery, etc.)?
--- Not scared about labor or delivery, I know I%26#039;ll be fine (I just really, really don%26#039;t want a C-section). The only concerns I have are about my baby%26#039;s health.Anyone want to do a pregnancy survey?1. 37 weeks and 2 days
2. No it came as a big surprise
3. Boy!!!
4. Fine other than a lil restless
5. Pizza(thin crust)
6. We live together but just i lil different because of the situation of us being new parents.
7. Hum... IDK about that one I don%26#039;t really think I have a funny pregnancy story.
8. Actually I am not all that scared or nervous. I am really looking for the labor adn delivery. I plan on doing it without the help of an epidural, because I wanna feel the pain and experience for myself. All though I am a lil nervous on a c-section since I don%26#039;t want one at all and I don%26#039;t what will happen I fear a lil that maybe something will go wrong and cause me to need a c-section.Anyone want to do a pregnancy survey?1. How far along? 14 weeks today
2. Planned? Yes, but we weren%26#039;t planning on it happening so quickly (within 2 weeks of having my IUD removed)!
3. Perinatologist says his educated guess is 90% certain it%26#039;s a boy. It%26#039;s still a little too soon to tell though!
4. Other than a !@#$%^%26amp;*( stuffy nose that I%26#039;ve had since day one (ARGH!!) pretty darn good, although I have to pee like a race horse (yet again!) but I want to finish answering this question first!
5. Craving? So far, nothing really. I%26#039;ve been really thirsty though. Lots of water and sweet tea. I guess that%26#039;s a craving, sort of. :)
6. Relationship? About the same. :)
7. Funny story? I told my boys (ages 5 and 4) that they were going to have a little brother or sister around Christmas time. My four year old asked to see the baby and I said, %26quot;You can%26#039;t see it--it%26#039;s in my tummy!%26quot; He asked me to open my mouth, and he looked in and asked, %26quot;Why did you chew it and swallow it with your shark teeth??%26quot; He looked truly horrified, and actually said %26quot;shark%26quot; (not sharp!)
8. Fear of labor? I%26#039;m most scared that my doctor won%26#039;t let me try for a VBAC (vag. birth after c-section). My first was vaginal (smooth sailing!) second was emerg. c-section (cord was around his neck several times) and now my dr. is telling me he absolutely will NOT let me try for a VBAC, even though I%26#039;m a prime candidate for one! I have a consult at a different ob/gyn%26#039;s office in a few weeks. Wish me luck!xp manicure for a nail biter

Here are my answers:
1. How far along are you?
--- 26 weeks exactly.
2. Was this a planned pregnancy?
--- Not at all, it was a huge surprise.
3. Boy or girl (if you know)?
--- GIRL!
4. How are you feeling today?
--- Crappy. I haven%26#039;t been sleeping well at all, so I%26#039;m way overly tired. Therefore I%26#039;ve been getting headaches and have been weapy and really emotional, as is what always happens when I don%26#039;t get enough sleep. I also have had horrible heartburn for the past 2 days, which nothing seems to help. And I have company coming today that will be here until Sunday morning, so it%26#039;s not like I can laze around, even though that%26#039;s all I want to do. So in short, I%26#039;ve been better.
5. What%26#039;s been your biggest craving?
--- Ice chips.
6. How has your relationship changed with the baby%26#039;s dad?
--- We%26#039;re sooo much closer. He%26#039;s my rock, he%26#039;s incredibly supportive and has been really helpful throughout the pregnancy. I%26#039;m closer to him than I%26#039;ve ever been to anybody ever in my life. It%26#039;s great.
7. What%26#039;s the funniest %26quot;pregnancy story%26quot; you have so far?
--- Towards the end of my first trimester I was really emotional. One day my fiance (baby%26#039;s dad) called from work to check on me and I was in tears because I had dropped something (I was frustrated with how clumsy I%26#039;d become), so he told me to stop what I was doing (cleaning) and meet him at his work and he%26#039;d take me to dinner. I was fine when I got to his work, but no more than 5 minutes after getting in the car I burst into tears again. He asked what was wrong and I said, %26quot;Nothing, I%26#039;m pregnant!%26quot; He thought that was hilarious and has made a point to tell all of our family and friends about it.
8. What are you most nervous/scared about (labor, delivery, etc.)?
--- I%26#039;m actually not really scared about the labor or delivery. What I%26#039;m most scared about is that my fiance and I will be so preoccupied cuddling our daughter after she%26#039;s born that we won%26#039;t get any pictures taken of her right after the birth. Silly, I know. Haha.Anyone want to do a pregnancy survey?1. How far along are you?

7. What%26#039;s the funniest %26quot;pregnancy story%26quot; you have so far?
Ummm...I can%26#039;t really think of anything funny, except the time at DD when a lady behind me said...%26quot;Are you sure you should be drinking coffee if you%26#039;re pregnant?%26quot; and I said, %26quot;Are you sure you should be eating that donut if you%26#039;re fat?%26quot;

Everyone always referred to my baby as %26quot;he%26quot;, %26quot;him%26quot;, %26quot;buddy%26quot;. Automatically assuming it was a boy. So when I went to my 20 week ultrasound I had already prepared myself to see a little pee pee. Surpise! The ultrasound tech said it was girl! My boyfriend said %26quot;This must be some kind of mistake!%26quot; The ultrasound tech died laughing....

6. How has your relationship changed with the baby%26#039;s dad? We have gotten closer. We both take a moment out of every day where we both rub my belly and talk to baby together. We are trying to get as many date nights in a possible now because we know that once she is here, that will soon change. We are coming together and we are counting down the weeks until we are parents.
7. What%26#039;s the funniest %26quot;pregnancy story%26quot; you have so far? I was just over 4 months pregnant when I went to the grocery store to pick up some buns and salad for a BBQ we were going to. I walked by the cart that has all types of olives in it and I had to drop my basket and I went running to the washroom because the smell made my beyound nausecous. I ended up throwing up in a gorcery store bathroom for 5 mintues! To this day, I avoid those carts because I am afraid of the smell.
8. What are you most nervous/scared about (labor, delivery, etc.)? It is just so unkown and nothing that I nor we have experienced before so I am afraid of almost all of it.

7. What%26#039;s the funniest %26quot;pregnancy story%26quot; you have so far?
~A few weeks ago I was really craving dinner from this Italian place. My boyfriend didn%26#039;t want to go and spend money, but I DEMANDED that he take me there so I could have it. I totally gorged on salad, pasta, chicken and breadsticks. About 45 minutes after we got home, I got a really bad stomachache and went to the bathroom because I thought I had to poo. I sat there for awhile, unable to go, and then I got REALLY hot. I ended up stripping off all of my clothes and was in the bathroom moaning because the pain in my stomach was so intense. Then I got violently ill and threw up everything I had eaten. I felt better immediately after that (I just ate waaaay too much) but my boyfriend came in to find me sitting on the floor in front of the toilet completely naked. LOL He was really nice and didn%26#039;t give me a hard time even though I just HAD to have that Italian food!
8. What are you most nervous/scared about (labor, delivery, etc.)?

5. What%26#039;s been your biggest craving?
French Fries, i loved them to begin with, but now i cannot live without them.
6. How has your relationship changed with the baby%26#039;s dad?
Well so far it is not much different, we have a 20 month old already, so it has changed since having her. we dont have as much time to spend alone, and everything has to be about her first. which is good, but at times can be frustrating.
7. What%26#039;s the funniest %26quot;pregnancy story%26quot; you have so far?
well I dont have one for this one yet, but when i was pregnant with my daughter I had a guy start talking to me in the post office and he was asking me how far along I was, and when i told him he was very surprised because i was (as he put it) %26quot;huge%26quot;. but he told me not to worry about it, because his neice was big boned too, and she thinned right out after the baby was born!! I could believe he actually said that to me!
oh and my daughter was due on october 4th, and my little brother kept insisting that i should hold her in until november. my b-day is nov. 5th, and his is nov. 4th. so he thought it would be cool if she was born on the 3rd, or the 6th. and no matter how many times i tried to tell him that it just wasnt possible, he kept trying to tell me to wait a little longer.
8. What are you most nervous/scared about (labor, delivery, etc.)?
well i have done it once, but i am nervous that i will have to be induced again.

7. What%26#039;s the funniest %26quot;pregnancy story%26quot; you have so far?
So the first trimester- I was SICK as a dog. I was throwing up about 5 times a day. Anyway, one day I was throwing up in the bathroom, and my 2 year old daughter came in and saw me. I was afraid she%26#039;d be worried or concerned. But nope, she just said. %26quot;Mommy, no. Potty bum. Not potty face.%26quot; Yep, she just proceeded to teach me that you potty from your bum, not from your face.
8. What are you most nervous/scared about (labor, delivery, etc.)?
Well, after 15 hours of labor, I had an emergency C-section with my first pregnancy and the anesthesia didn%26#039;t work. So when they started cutting, I felt it! I ended up being knocked out, but it was a traumatic experience. So I%26#039;m just terrified of another C-section. I still have nightmares about it.Anyone want to do a pregnancy survey?1.

5. What%26#039;s been your biggest craving?
--- Throughout the pregnancy, I craved fruity, frozen stuff (smoothies, sherbet, Icees etc.). Now I%26#039;m on a huge fast food kick, which is too bad for my husband since he%26#039;s trying to lose weight and has basically no willpower.
6. How has your relationship changed with the baby%26#039;s dad?
--- We have a more intimate bond than we did before. The sex is better since we don%26#039;t have to worry about knocking me up anymore. Also we%26#039;re way more lovey-dovey.
7. What%26#039;s the funniest %26quot;pregnancy story%26quot; you have so far?
--- Um, no hilarious pregnancy material yet. Maybe the funny stuff will come in a few weeks.
8. What are you most nervous/scared about (labor, delivery, etc.)?
--- Not scared about labor or delivery, I know I%26#039;ll be fine (I just really, really don%26#039;t want a C-section). The only concerns I have are about my baby%26#039;s health.Anyone want to do a pregnancy survey?1. 37 weeks and 2 days
2. No it came as a big surprise
3. Boy!!!
4. Fine other than a lil restless
5. Pizza(thin crust)
6. We live together but just i lil different because of the situation of us being new parents.
7. Hum... IDK about that one I don%26#039;t really think I have a funny pregnancy story.
8. Actually I am not all that scared or nervous. I am really looking for the labor adn delivery. I plan on doing it without the help of an epidural, because I wanna feel the pain and experience for myself. All though I am a lil nervous on a c-section since I don%26#039;t want one at all and I don%26#039;t what will happen I fear a lil that maybe something will go wrong and cause me to need a c-section.Anyone want to do a pregnancy survey?1. How far along? 14 weeks today
2. Planned? Yes, but we weren%26#039;t planning on it happening so quickly (within 2 weeks of having my IUD removed)!
3. Perinatologist says his educated guess is 90% certain it%26#039;s a boy. It%26#039;s still a little too soon to tell though!
4. Other than a !@#$%^%26amp;*( stuffy nose that I%26#039;ve had since day one (ARGH!!) pretty darn good, although I have to pee like a race horse (yet again!) but I want to finish answering this question first!
5. Craving? So far, nothing really. I%26#039;ve been really thirsty though. Lots of water and sweet tea. I guess that%26#039;s a craving, sort of. :)
6. Relationship? About the same. :)
7. Funny story? I told my boys (ages 5 and 4) that they were going to have a little brother or sister around Christmas time. My four year old asked to see the baby and I said, %26quot;You can%26#039;t see it--it%26#039;s in my tummy!%26quot; He asked me to open my mouth, and he looked in and asked, %26quot;Why did you chew it and swallow it with your shark teeth??%26quot; He looked truly horrified, and actually said %26quot;shark%26quot; (not sharp!)
8. Fear of labor? I%26#039;m most scared that my doctor won%26#039;t let me try for a VBAC (vag. birth after c-section). My first was vaginal (smooth sailing!) second was emerg. c-section (cord was around his neck several times) and now my dr. is telling me he absolutely will NOT let me try for a VBAC, even though I%26#039;m a prime candidate for one! I have a consult at a different ob/gyn%26#039;s office in a few weeks. Wish me luck!
Should I stay with a man like this?
I just got married 3 months ago. I am from the other country and my husband is american citizen. I come to you to seek for advise about my marriage life, being a step mother of a 11 years old girl. When I decided to get married I never thought it will be so hard for me to live like this. I am not too happy at home. My husband doesn't want me to get a job either so that I can be busy and not to be paranoid. I was so bored at home, I don't even allow to go out and meet friends. I am so sick here, Im lonely and miserable. My step daughter is grumpy, difficult and mean to me, and also to his father. She is spoiled kid and can control his father. I told him to discipline his child because I see how she yells, ignore and fights back to him. It affects my mood when I saw them fighting, and for some reason I feel left out when they get along. I told to my husband many times that he should tell to her daughter to interact with us. I want to do things together, and accept me as his father's wife. I do everything for them, all the things that a step mother or a wife's responsibilities at home. I had many fight with my husband and he said mean things to me and asked me if what should I do %26quot;We did not get along!%26quot;. I love him but he forced me to change my feelings for him and sometimes I think I should end this, had divorce, go back to my country, be single again, get a job, continue my career and move on.
There is some issue about ex's too. I feel jealous and was hurt so much. When I moved here our house was so messy. I dealt with his old things and see ex's pictures. Imagine your body was so tired cleaning those mess and also your mind! I asked him what should I do with those, he said throw it away, so I did. The following day he is blaming me about getting to his things. He is holding his phone 24 hours/7 days a week, in short all the time! When he is at home sometimes his phone rings but he doesn't answer the call in front of me instead he will go to our bathroom and I hear him talking to somebody else. I have not confronted him in this matter because I'm not sure if its right plus I don't want to start a fight. He leaves his e-mail account open many times but I did not read his e-mails until one day I feel suspicious about things. He forget he left his account open and I read some of his e-mails and found out he has still communication with his ex's. And also I found out that he is paying half of his ex car payment. He told me he was agreed to pay couple hundreds every month and she have 18 more months until its paid. I don't understand why he was blaming me that he was run out of money. I know he costs a lot of money for me to bring here, on the immigration fees, our wedding and etc. Now I know he has other expenses and it is not right to blame all of this to me. I tried not to cost him money, when we are at store I pick the cheapest item or sometimes i did not buy things but his daughter never stop asking buy me this, buy me that. His ex gf did not help him in thier daughter expenses and also she just spend a little time with her daughter. Just twice a week, maximum of 8 days a month. His own mother told me that he has %26quot;blaming things to other%26quot; attitude. I never knew that until I lived with him. He was blaming me and his mother about us telling him to discipline his daughter. Her mom lives in other state, but we have contact through mails and phone. I am always nice to his daughter and helping her sometimes if she asks to, because most of the time she wants to do things in her own way but i don't like to see she does it in the wrong way, and when you try to correct her, she gets so mad. I don't know what to do. I told her we are living in the same house and it is not good to be distant and mean to me. She is difficult to be with, even her parents and her grandma tells that. I asked my husband to have counseling and he said yes but he is not sure if his ex gf (the mother of his daughter) will agree to that, because she doesn't believe in counseling. For me and to my mother in law point of view they need to go to counseling, both parents and the child.
I'm alone in this country and i don't know anybody in our place. When I arrived here he stopped doing house hold even just to help me in simple things. I forced him to do vacuum the floor once because I am so tired and our carpet is dirty. I did not get married to be a slave and to be in prison! I have one thing I'm have not get over with. Before I move here and before we get married he told to me that there is a woman from other country to stay for three months in his house, she will be a nanny to her daughter and she will work for free, she just want to have place to stay, food to eat while she is in vacation. I agreed her to stay its because he promised that nothing bad will happen and he is not attracted to her and etc.. He told me that she was wearing short clothes and flirting to other guys in the beach or everywhere. I feel jealous because of what he Should I stay with a man like this? The best thing for you is to leave him and move back to your country. Keep your dignity and move on. I know it's a difficult thing to do. I suppose you love him, but don't you see he's a selfish person? Why should he pay his ex's car?He's married to YOU now. No one forces you to put up with this, no one forces you to always buy the cheapest things in order to make his ex happy. Why does he answer the phone in the bathroom?It means he has something to hide from you.
And I don't understand one thing, people.Why do you all choose a marriage counselor to solve your problems when you don't have the courage to confront your partner when there are things that bother you?
So if you really want that this situation change talk to him.Write a letter.This is a way by which you can get all his attention without being interrupt and make him think a little about you two.
Write him a letter where you can tell him what you need from him and ask him not to judge you but to understand you because you left everything to join him, to love him and feel loved by him and not to be his cleaning woman or just someone who can keep him company. If you do this, find a way not to say it harshly, but as someone who cares about him and wants him to be happy.But trust me when I say that you can't make him happy if you are not happy.
I wish you good luck!Should I stay with a man like this?Get out of there. Go back to your old life. Be happy again and stay away from bad men.Should I stay with a man like this?Sweetie, i am sorry but what are you waiting for to leave this jerk?...Should I stay with a man like this?If you live in an area where you can meet more people from your own culture. I think that would help you tremendously. Secondly, little girls sometimes do anything they can to keep their power over their fathers. As long as the parent refuse to see it as a problem it will continue and get worse, many times the child wins and the couple divorces. No you are not a slave and do not let yourself be treated like one. We women have a tendency to do that to ourselves. You really do need someone to talk to for your own sanity There really is too much going on for you to be forced to deal with it all alone. If it's love it will allow considerations for you too.Should I stay with a man like this?Seems he married you to be chief cook, housekeeper, babysitter and as you said it slave. He's not interested in solving the problems you have with him or his daughter. I would suggest, you pack your bags and go home. In the long run you will be much happier.Should I stay with a man like this?It seems so easy to just say YES leave him. You married this man for some reason...and I believe it was for love. I am sorry that things are turning out the way they have since you married him. It doesn't seem like it is just that cut and dry for you to pack your things and leave. Maybe you should see if you can find a counselor or someone professional that can give your some advise, or at the very least help you work through some of these issues. In the end it's going to have to come down to talking things out with your husband, but, if that's not where things are at this time. Then get yourself together and get the support you need. Once you can see things outside the box, you'll be able to make your own decisions on what you should do. Good luck!Should I stay with a man like this?who told you you could move to a different country and run his life? your mom? your friends? you will never change him, so deal with the man you so readily took vows with or go back home, you make it sound like he and his daughter are all the trouble and you are an innocent person, well you are an immigrant, either fall in line or move back. I am an American, if I moved to Austria can i expect things to go my way in a few months? or ever?Should I stay with a man like this?please leave, i feel he doesnt respect u enough, get help! dont be afraid!Should I stay with a man like this?sounds like he wanted a trophy more than a wife and that he was looking for someone to make his ex jealous. You sound like a really nice person but this is not the guy for you. Should I stay with a man like this?Honey, I believe you should always try to work things out in a marriage but one person can not do this alone. Your husband sounds like a very selfish person. It is so disrespectful to go to another room and chat on the phone. He obviously still hangs on to his ex...and his daughter sounds like a nightmare. I know it may be hard...but if this continues I would find a support group from your country and get a job and make plans to be on your own. Your husband can not really expect anyone to be treated like a possession and not want to get out of that relationship. I wish you the best!!

Fiance and I just argued over dinner - who is right?
I came home from work. All went well at first. Then, we started bickering. We are in the process of buying a house. He asked me why I didn't send the w2's, paystubs, etc. I didn't know we were supposed to send them. I thought they only needed one form and could wait a little. Then it turned into an arguement. I am thinking -really, we could still send the paperwork over. It's the not the end of the world. He just kept sulking and saying over and over why didn't I send it. We then talked about dinner. I said there isn't much food left. He mentioned we have sausage in the freezer. I said we have fresh torellini that has to be made or else it will go bad. He then said he was going buy oil to change the oil in his car. While he was gone I made dinner. Chicken herb tortellini and salad. He kind of just saw what I made and plopped into the chair and sulked. I knew he didn't like what I made. I was also hurt he didn't show any appreciation for the dinner I made. I think I was more hurt he didn't appreciate that I made dinner. he just sat there staring at it as if I put something really disgusting in front of his face. I made what was left in the fridge and was trying to save money by not buying more food. I wanted to use up what we had. He then went on and on about how he said he wanted sausage. Well, I told him before he left I was making the pasta and he didn't say anything about sausage, so I thought he was ok with the pasta. he kept saying he needs energy and pasta isn't enough food. So, I said I'll make the sausage if your still hungry. he said 'no, i'll just be tired and weak.' That made me angry. If he wants something else I would be happy to make it. But when I went to go make him or buy him something else, he has to complain about it and say no. So, if I don't make it then he still complains. turned into a stupid arguement and him saying 'oh - things are just great aren't they..' insinuating that we were arguing and our relationship is horrible. Ok - what the heck is going on here?Fiance and I just argued over dinner - who is right?After he acted like that to me, I would have given him what cannibals give to their spouses at dinner time%26quot; THE COLD SHOULDER%26quot;, I wonder how he would have enjoyed that instead of a delicious home cooked meal,LOL!!Fiance and I just argued over dinner - who is right?This is not normal. He is acting like an ungrateful brat! My husband would NEVER do this! I can't believe how rude he was to you. He needs to shape up if you are going to get married. He needs to grow up! Good Luck!Fiance and I just argued over dinner - who is right?Coming from a guy here! Sometimes we get a little pissy! Just let him get over it and things should be fine. And then when he's over it, talk to him about it (tomorrow may be better than today). It happens sometimes and it should pass. Neither one of you are right or wrong. Just kiss and make up and move onFiance and I just argued over dinner - who is right?about the dinner, guys usually like something simple..like steak, sausage, or pizza. they don't like something that they've never seen or can't pronounce. i'm sure you are trying...but trying to make something %26quot;fancy%26quot; is a waste of your effort.Fiance and I just argued over dinner - who is right?this is normal, don't ever discuss important matters before you put food into a man's belly
any older wife will tell you.
[guys usually like meat more than any other food]Fiance and I just argued over dinner - who is right?No offense he sounds like a tit baby. Next time let him fix his own sausages and offer him nothing. Fiance and I just argued over dinner - who is right?Getting the papers in was important to him. Do you hear that? Him appreciating dinner was important to you, but he can't appreciate right now because he's let down and angry about the papers. Who's right? Doesn't matter because right now you're both losing. So, say you understand him and live to fight another day. You two ought to go for a little communication skills counseling. Conflict will be a part of life. You two aren't handling it well. Good luck.Fiance and I just argued over dinner - who is right?I think that he was already in a bad mood before you even sat down for dinner because you did not send in the paperwork. It was obviously something that was important to him...and it should be important to you if you are trying to buy a house right now. You could have gotten the stuff together and said you would mail it tomorrow - or gotten it all together and said, %26quot;While you are out getting oil can you put this in the mailbox?%26quot;
In regards to him not liking dinner - I think he was just still sulking after the issue with the paperwork. However, the way that he handled the situation wasn't the best. Saying, %26quot;Fine I'll just be tired and weak%26quot; is silly, especially after you offered to make the sausage for him.
He should have had more respect for the dinner that you made and your offer to make whatever he wanted and you should have had more respect for the fact that he wanted that paperwork to be turned in. It goes both ways.
