Who the f*** cares? Really, you could say something in the grocery store, someone hears you and they go on and talk about it to whomever. So what? Really, some of you here flatter yourselves too much. Trust me, you (general you who have their panties in a wad over this) are not the topic of conversation in that group.

Well if we are confessing to our adult judgement lapses......
In the past 5 years I have managed to :
Set a potholder on fire
Hit our house with our car (love tap, really)
Break the kitchen blinds
Burn myself badly enough to leave a scar, twice
Not to mention all the nights we've eaten Pb sandwiches or Sonic because I either forgot to buy a critical component of the evening meal or forgot to ever even take it out of the freezer to thaw. (Personal best was the Sunday I put the entire meal in the crock pot, but failed to turn it on. Contrary to DH's belief, it is not all a ploy on my part to evade cooking. :p )
This just reminded me to get the ham out for tomorrows soup. Thank you. :)

Many would disagree with you considering that many people (from all countries) are in favor of capital punishments and many would not mind to see it enforced on rapists. I will say that is one law I am very proud of in my faith. IMO, a rapist deserves the death penalty.
I didn't mean that capital punishment was barbaric. I quoted where you said, "and I don't mean lethal injection, I mean by stoning or worse like it says in the Quran" (paraphrasing this time, clipped and quoted your exact words last time.) Why is stoning better than lethal injection, or word of mouth better than dna evidence just because that's the way the book says?
i believe in a global comingling and a planetary human race. I just like what Chris Rock said, "I don't believe in beliefs. I mean, you can change an idea, changing a belief is trickier. People die for it, people kill for it." I think killing people with stones instead of lethal injection is an example of beliefs. If it was an idea instead of a belief they would have changed and started using dna evidence and lethal injection to kill rapists.
Although Chris Rock did say that, he said in in the role he was playing in the movie Dogma. :) So, I think the credit of that line would go to Kevin Smith. :) One of my favorite movies.

Well, I finished all the episodes of Jericho in about a week, my paranoia meter is running a little high. One group running the world? No. Wealthy people with more influence than "elected" to have? Sure. Covert groups doing things we don't know about? Probably. The Hellsing Organization going out killing vampires, no, but it's fun to watch.
I'm considering settling in for all the episodes of XFiles next. I miss the Smoking Man, I miss Fox Mulder...
I have the whole series on DVD. :)

I just want to throw in there I have been seperated for over two years now and have no plans to reconcile. That said, I very much worked towards doing the family thing and changing as little in my kids lives as possible. My ex is welcome to stop by whenever he likes and he always does holidays with us. He sometimes takes the kids by himself but so do I so I don't see that as visitation. I made it clear that I felt the kids needed one place to live so they don't go to his apartment to spend the night and ex agrees. My kids have done very well through this whole process this far. Neither of us have dated yet so well see how that goes whenever that happens. I will be extremely cautious how I handle that in the future. I have no idea where I'll even find omeone to date. lol
Thank you for your insight! For the time being, we are not seeing any other people and plan on dating each other and see what happens. But our top priority is to really find happiness/contentment/?? for ourselves before we can find happiness together again. We haven't even discussed any overnight time wrt ds. Do you feel things are pretty stable with your separation as is?

haha I am from WPB too! :) And I went to FSCJ while in Jacksonville. :) Great post. :)
-
That's great. How are you, yourself, feeling about the whole thing now?
I am hanging in there. :) Things have definitely been less stressful and more relaxing overall. But, when I saw my husband, I was also very sad. So, IDK. Time will tell.
-
In case anyone was wondering..... :)
We went to hang out with dh on Monday. Went to the apartment, then IHOP, then apartment again. Ds had an excellent time and was so happy to see his daddy. Ds told him how much he missed him too. So, fortunately, it seems the anger has passed. Ds wants to go see his daddy again this week. :) I am very grateful and happy that things worked out so well.

I find the idea of skirts as more modest interesting. I get noticeably more attention from men when I wear skirts or dresses.
I was thinking the same thing. :)

The area I lived in in the Mandarin area was not only not gated, but the houses aren't cookie cutter either. We rented right on Mandarin Road and bought on a street off of Mandarin Rd. One of the cheaper houses, BTW. lol There is a wide range of prices there. Almost mansions on the river, then much smaller houses off the river and everything in-between.
I'm not trying to sell you on Jacksonville, just thought I'd put that out there. :) I am biased towards FL though, since that is where i grew up (S FL).
-
I am surprised that no one has mentioned Publix subs yet. They aren't Jacksonville specific, but still. I can't get them here in TX. :) lol
This thread is making me a little bit homesick for Jacksonville again.

St Augustine is one of the things I miss the most about Jacksonville.

There's been two new secular groups that have started in the last two years...both are co-op oriented. From what I can tell on my friends' Facebook pages, they seem like active groups.
Oh, I forgot that my friend, Tabitha, was just starting a new group as we were leaving. There were four or five of us from one of the other groups, but we all moved except the one, but she got it going anyways and it does seem pretty active. How could I forget about that? I've mentioned to dh before that if we went back to Jacksonville, I'd have a good group to join.

There were two secular hs groups in Jacksonville while I was there. One was more focused on elementary and the other on middle school and older, though both were open to all ages. Houston has definitely been better as far as finding good hs buddies. :)

We own a house in Jacksonville, though we're in Houston now. I really love the Mandarin area in Jacksonville, which is where our house is. We rented a house in that area before we bought. It is a very nice area, IMO. It's the very southern area of Jacksonville.
Jacksonville does have some high crime areas, but it has nice areas too.
I love St Augustine too. I loved living so close and getting to visit so often.
I didn't know anyone homeschooling in high school since my own kid is/was so young. I don't think there would be any problem fitting in. Jacksonville isn't as diverse as Houston, but it's still a pretty large area with a somewhat diverse population.
I enjoyed living there and would go back again. I have a friend who lives in the Riverside area, which is also very nice.

Dark humor. It helps people get through incredibly frustrating situations. Feign shock all you like.
Exactly.

I will admit that I sold all of my coding books, as well as all the text books related to coding as soon as this past semester ended. It is very meticulous.

Maybe someone will hire her to kill him.
Maybe he can do her in. I was so pissed when she walked.

I bet the crime will go up drastically in FL. If I am a black, I will make sure my kid knows how to use a gun and have a gun with him everywhere he or she goes.
That is doubtful. The crime rates are already high in the bigger cities, just like bigger cities everywhere.

Zimmerman is nearly judgment proof though, he doesn't have a lot of means. I mean this is a guy who couldn't get hired as a cop.
Honestly, and while I don't support vigilante justice, Zimmerman's biggest worry now should be that someone takes it on themselves to kill him. I believe he will need to live in hiding for a very long time.
If Casey Anthony can survive, so can he.

I work at a hospital. Most coders work either in office or at the facility. I have a few friends who work from home doing medical transcription. They both completed an online program. PM me with you want the specific company they used. They were also fully employed within a month after completing the program. One is an independent contracter sets her own hours once is considered FT but no benefits.
I had heard that transcribers were being replaced by voice recognition programs and that medical transcription editing was where it's at now.
I recently completed two full time semesters of medical coding at my local community college. If I wanted to finish the program, I'd have one semester to go. That semester would include interning too. I decided not to continue on with the program though because I found it was pretty difficult. I started the program originally thinking it wouldn't be very difficult and I would be able to work from home when I finished. It is not algebra and chemistry hard, but the coding is very specific. The class did not always agree with the instructor either on where she made her specifications.
All I had left in the program were two non-coding classes and an internship. I wonder if I could still get a job coding? :)

Oh my goodness if I could just get my thoughts out in one post....
I was always much closer to my mother. Since my mother is the one who did everything for me (the stuff I understood as everything) and I spent the most time with her I felt most comfortable around her. I never spent time alone with my dad. That was a foreign concept really. My mother passed away when she was 49. I was 28. At that point I just had my dad. It actually took many years to feel a similar level of closeness. Our relationship prior was just not the same as the relationship I had with my mom. Could something like that be going on? If so, I think it's just going to take time. As a kid I can imagine being quite freaked out at the prospect of having separate relationships with my parents.
I was never close to my dad either. For a while I thought dh might be heading down that road too, but he has turned it around some, so we were both surprised that Ethan doesn't want to go do any of the fun stuff they used to do together.

I like the idea of a phone call or video, or even Skype. I will mention it to dh when we chat next.
I think you may be right, Wendy, about the processing time. He also says he doesn't want to live with grandma. He says he wants it to be just me and him and daddy can come along if he wants. I have reassured him that it is not his fault and that it has nothing to do with him. DH did too, before we moved. I may look into some counseling for him, just so he has someone else to talk to about it.
I just wanted to post again that I do appreciate all the comments and suggestions. :)

Were you able to cancel the order? I hope so!!!
I disabled my One Click settings on Amazon. It's way too easy to make the mistake of clicking the "buy" button instead of the "add to cart" button!
I dislike that the only way to buy music and ebooks is by one-click. I always have to go in and double check my settings.
Explain this to me

I am glad to be of service. :)
