NV- yeah in Utah , by law, no drink can contain more than 1 1/2 shots of liquor, beer must be 6.8% alcohol only, you can only buy liquor in a state run liquor store that is not open sunday. The only alcohol sold in grocery stores is beer, if you have a club with a liquor license everyone in that club must be a member ( hence selling of cheap memberships at the door), and no restaurant is allowed to ask if you would like to have an alcoholic drink with your meal..they can only ask if you would like to see the special menu or use the special glasses....HELP ME I LIVE IN A THEOCRACY!!!
EDIT- and you though the alliance was interfering!

Well, let me just butt in here and try to catch up. I read the whole thread so I've got a few things to say.

Age difference - My parents are seven years apart (Dad older than Mom) and they've been very happily married for 26 years. My dad often jokes that he couldn't find anyone his own age, so he cradle-robbed. My brother also got engaged last Xmas to a girl 6 years younger than him. I teased him about it at first, as is my right as little sister but she's actually perfect for him. Myself, I don't know. Ten years older than me would be absolute max, but I'm not sure about younger. Actually, there's this guy who's younger than me (he's 16, I'm 21) and I know he likes me, but I'm not sure if I should do anything about it. I think he's hot, but . . . yeah, I don't know.

Off topic - glad to see I'm not the only Browncoat/Final Fantasy fan! (Oh, wow, I'm a huge geek.)

Tattoos - I'd like to get one on each shoulder blade. One a Celtic cross and one a maple leaf. Since my family originally came from Ireland and is now Canadian, I thought it'd be a cool transition bit. But I'm not sure if the shoulder blade idea is good or not.

The weight issue - I know exactly what you're talking about, Seryn. I was fat all throughout high school and got teased a lot. Dated very little due to lack of offers and self-confidence, and went on many failed blind dates. Anyway, I lost about 70 pounds after high school (still have the D cups though, go figure) and I look way better now. Ironically, my love life is still Sahara-esque, so I'm beginning to think it's my personality. Oh well, at least clothes shopping is miles funner now. Anyway, I say send him a picture to show him how gorgeous you are. If he doesn't want anything to do with you after that, that's his loss. (Hmm, this attitude of mine could be why I don't have a man. *shrugs* Oh well.)

There, I think that covers everything.

"I'm having one of those things - a headache with pictures."

"Of course I'm right. And if I'm not, may we all be horribly crushed from above somehow."

Y'all are too quick for me. Use the phone, miss five posts. Use the bathroom, miss ten.

Do some work miss 10 posts, go to the doctor (arm/shoulder re-check) and miss about 50 posts....

13: Good on ya! You get major bonus points for putting yourself out there.

Tattoos: I've lately been thinking about the chinese characters for horse or equestrian. I've always wanted a tat, but haven't come up with something I would want on me forever. The logical thing is some type of horse design, but I've never seen one that inspired me to get it done. Have wanted a dragonfly in the past, but not so sure about that now. Still debating.

Seryn: Been there, done the whole weight thing. I'm actually up about 30 pounds from where I like to be due to this broken arm. It's killing me. I pretty much always feel fat, and now with 30 extra pounds it's that much worse. I lost a considerable amount of weight a few years back (although not nearly as much as MSG...you go girl!) and the thought of it all coming back on is haunting me.

I would try to exchange pictures before I met someone. And you never know, maybe you won't like the looks of him.

At the request of many, here are some shiny Final Fantasy icons:

I wanted to edit my other post, but the board wouldn't let me. Basically it was more blather about weight. Seryn: better believe this guy has something he doesn't want you to know about him. So might as well be honest up front. The last guy I flirted with over the internet turned out to be about 2 inches shorter than me. That wasn't a deal breaker (he had a lot going for him otherwise: upper level event rider, aerospace engineer doing some really cool work with bone/facial reconstruction) but it did make him less attractive to me. I'm not a tiny little girl and I hate feeling like I am "bigger" than whoever I'm with.

it's ok rugbug it happens to me everytime I go to my family's I get back and there are like 90 posts..oh well...In fact it'll probably happen again as I am on my way to tutor and then the gym, but I should be back in a few hours so TTFN:)

EDIT- hey being tiny sucks...I can never reach anything and I can never see what's going on and we even had to order a special teacher chair 'cause I couldn't touch the floor in the regular one, and once in elementary they played keep away...with me as the item not my stuff!! OK short person rant over. Seriously I think we all are who we are and it's silly to think one size is better than another!

I do need to vent and may need some advice. My sister recently had court beause an issue with her newborn daughter and DCFS. Chances are there are at least three people in my house who know why. I know only because of the concerned folks in the same line of work as myself. I don't know how I will approach my sisters or, heaven forbid, my own mother. None of them have told me anything but I know everything. I just really dislike them all right now. And how will I deal with the fact that no one in my family have the nuts to tell me anything. Chances are I may end up with physical custody of a 2 1/2 year old and a newborn in the near future. I have only a shallow dilema. I wish to have a social life and to enjoy being young while I can. I'd taken care of kids and myself for most of what I can remember. I just feel really selfish on wanting things for myself. I guess this post has been brewing for about a week. Could anyone tell?

DG187- They're Fantastic.

NV- That's not selfish that's honest. DO you really think there's a parent out there who at one time or another hasn't momentarily wished they were responsibility free?? HUGS that's a nasty and tough situation especially with no one telling you what is going on, though I'd bet you have a decent clue and are too kind to say. I'd suggest you check into babysitters and friends with kids who'd be willing to trade off some kid free time. It's a pain some, but kids rock! I know how you feel though there are many days where I am really tired of being the mommy to the world and wish someone would let me just go play for a bit:) Let us know if we can help any...I might point out the upside to your inner man whore. Nothing attracts women more than to see an unattached guy being a good daddy... You'd better get yourself a nice big stick to fight em off!!!! and women who date you can also watch the kids as a favor when you need alone time:)

Wow, NV, you've got some stuff going down.

As far as custody goes...if it happens, you will step up. You already sound like you have a huge amount of love for these kids, and that capacity will only grow when they are your responsibility. Yeah, you will still need time for you, but I bet it won't be as much as you think it needs to be. As a sidenote, a man with kids is much more "eligible" than a woman with kids.
