@Aly: Party has arrived!

@Sass Pegasus: Huehuehue I can do that. ; )



Jk

Haha. Ireland is kind of a weird place. xD The Irish have such a sense of humor. My mom lived at #10 as a kid.

@Sass Pegasus: Ballsbridge is a high class neighborhood in Dublin. You will enjoy this then: http://meanwhileinireland.com/18-rudest-place-names-in-ireland/

Hmm. -thinks-.

@Vii: Ugh. I feed my toddlers within 30 minutes of them waking up. I tend to get very sick, even to the point of needing to run to the toilet to vomit if I don't have something to eat in that time frame, so I have always made sure to feed my kids right when they get up to avoid such an occurrence.
Also, I feel like she shouldn't be giving a toddler candy in the morning but that's just me. My kids are very hyperactive, so I'm careful about giving them high sugary items.

I feel like Red should have been tipped handsomely for such an order. Jeez. I have respect for people who have to deal with the public all day. I could barely deal with students and their parents.

@Sass Pegasus: Nice! : D Do you mind if I ask whereabouts? It's okay if you don't want to answer. Ohio is kind of meh, 'Nati is fine but the rest of it is...meh. I liked Boston better and I'll always love Ballsbridge.

I didn't mean to enter that just yet.

Anyway...
I don't care if people believe or what they believe as long as they don't shove their beliefs down my throat (ie. trying to convert me, telling me I'm going to hell for not believing, etc). And as long as they don't condemn others and use their beliefs as a "justification" for their prejudice and hatred towards another human being. Before we are any label, we are all human and all deserve to be treated with kindness and respect. I feel like if your god tells you that you need to hate someone, you need to do some soul searching and find something else to believe in (obviously, I realize not everyone who is religious is like this.)

I believe in a lot of Buddhist teachings and meditate every day. However, do I define myself as "religious"? Not really. I feel like Buddhism is more of a way of life (or, at least how I practice it) because I feel like "religious" means you believe in a deity, however, Buddhism is non-theistic, meaning there is no god/goddess/deity. Buddha wasn't a god and he never claimed to be. He was a teacher who figured out peaceful ways of life and how to achieve such a life.

@dragoness129: Thanks. : )

Yay! : D

How much would you want for a shirt?
Pants?
Samurai?

I've only got 3,623V and 26O but I want stuff. Lol.

@Astral Ninja: I'm in a poly relationship with my fiancée, Janna. We are free to date outside just us two or have casual sex with others. People have told us that it wont work. I feel like the biggest key to how successful we've been is having a serious talk in the beginning and laying out ground rules and expectations honestly. We agreed that if say, Janna was dating another guy, let's just use the name John for example. If Janna was dating John as well, but I had a legit concern for her safety or the safety of our kids,I would be able to say that I am not comfortable with him and I'd have to give my reason and she should respect that or leave. Like I said, it has to be legit. I can't just be like, "Well, he's nicer looking than me and I don't like him for it!" There would have to an issue with safety and there would have to a very good reason.

Also, I hate when people ask if we are poly because I'm not pleased with her. No. Its not that. We love each other very much.

Growing up, I hated children. Absolutely could not stand them. I told my parents not to expect grandchildren from me and even went as far as saying I would rather die than have children. I wasn't careful and my late wife and I ended up conceiving our first. Wasn't happy one bit about it. But then my daughter was born and I held her in my arms for the first time and this will seem really sappy but it was kind of amazing to see how my late wife and I had created something so perfect and wonderful. Being a first time parent is stressful af but I realized how it made me feel like I was worth something for once, which is a feeling I had wanted my entire life. I knew I wanted more. Still, I didn't really intend to have 11 children. To be fair, there were only 8 pregnancies. I have a set of twins and a set of triplets.

But yeah, being a parent isn't for everyone and I just got lucky that I ended up really enjoying fatherhood. : )

@Sulley: Yeah, I mean, I know your brother doesn't want to hurt her but sometimes being gentle sort of doesn't get you anywhere or get your point across. I know that sounds awful but like I said, sometimes the truth needs to be said whether it hurts or not. Maybe coming from a third party would help. I also know that some people would be like, "Well, she should mind her own business." Idk. You're in a tough spot. If you weren't so concerned about your brother, I'd suggest just letting it play out on its own. But I understand the need to protect your brother from potential harm because I'm that way with my kids. Hmm.

I agree with prodigy on all points. Also, I'm a very "no nonsense" kind of guy with serious thing and I never sugar coat things, so I'm the kind of person to be like, "Move on because you can't make him like you again." I tend to come off as apathetic with a lot of things and I never really mean to seem like I don't care. At the same time, I know that even if the truth hurts, it needs to be said sometimes.
Idk though. I'm not really "#1 Boyfriend" material and I'm kind of apathetic about a lot of things, so maybe you shouldn't really take my advice...
