If you wrote a book about your life what would the title be?

Either my first sig. line or the last sig. line.

It is really hard. I don't know specifics of what you are going thru but make sure he is not having any type of personal crisis. Part of my problem was feelings of zero self worth so I combatted this by being the bold brazen guy that was never afraid to try or do anything especially to please a crowd. I did many things just to try to look cool for the idiots I was trying to impress. I had very loving mother but a somewhat absent father, he was great but he worked all the time to make a living to support us and my mother was just to easy to fool as far as getting things past her she never to this day knows even half of what I did. The only things they really know about are the things I did which landed me in jail for which they paid bail and lawyers etc.

Make sure he knows you love him and he can talk to you, but again some of the issues I was having trouble with were things more suited to talking to a father about and he just was not there, maybe that was part of my reason for acting out as well lack of fatherly discipline.

Hold still a little while you idiot. Staying put a couple of years increases your chances of making true friends.

"Girl, you don't need a man to make you feel worthwhile!"

"If he really loved you, he wouldn't treat you this way"

Or, I really like this one, "Phenomenal woman...yeah, that's me."

I just have to learn to spell phenomenal correctly! I think mine are pretty self explanatory.

Oh, one more, "How to survive the streets as an underage girl"

Mine would be "I'm not perfect, so stop acting like my sh*t dont stink!!"

WHY? Because I am the oldest of 5 sibs. I was always the example setter!! I did everything by the book!! Never got caught doing anything bad, so mom would tell everyone to "act like your sister". During highschool i came straight home and would cook, clean, and help with homework since my parents commuted to work and would not be home till 8 pm sometimes. Had good grades in hi school. Moved out on my own at 18, paid my own bills by holding down 1-3 jobs at a time. Also went to college on my own dime. Got married and paid for my own beautiful wedding. Waiting to have kids until i graduate this May!! I DID EVERYTHING BY THE BOOK!! When i got accepted to nursing school on my 1st try....instead of my family being overjoyed like i was....they said "oh, we knew you'd get in"! Most people would be glad for that response, but i wanted them to at least act surprised and make a big deal out of it!! I can remember while in high school telling my whole family i was going to be pre-med . When i changed my mind yrs later to be a nurse, get this.... i was afraid to tell my family, afraid they would think i had "stepped down". They were even prouder for me choosing nursing!! I know they love me and i am happy for the way they raised me.. i am independent and extremely responsible, honest, and all around good person. But sometimes i feel like they put me on a pedestal and i am afraid it might make the sibs resent me. SORRY SO LONG!!

Full Moon and Monday Somewhere....

(is there anything about the rules of this BB that talk about sticking with the topic? Could we maybe start another thread for the low SE crowd?)

Geesh! I'm sure we can find people who have more reason to be miserable than do we--and if we reach out to them, maybe we have better SE.... Try that--could be the best part of the book!

Love ya anyway!

Mine would have to be something like



" Golf All Day, Nurse All Night"

Why I Moved Out Of My Country .
If I Had Staid ??????

What is SE?

How to survive being bullied

Hmm and to borrow from Terry Pratchett

"More fun than an amorous armidillo in a bowling alley"
