Debate & Discuss / Re: The President is only here to help

« on: February 29, 2012, 10:20:42 am »Message ID: 497383

I love our President.  He has taken care of Sudam Hussan, and Osama Bin Ladin.  He help the UN get rid of Kadaffi.  He has also cleared out quite a few AlQuida.  The cost of the military is not on him that was Bush (wars started by Bush), he is slowly taking us out of the war areas without causing the Countries to much stress at the transition of taking over their own battle.  When Bush took office the first thing he did was DOUBLED his salary.  When President Obama took office he cut his salary as well as all of his personel.  He bailed out the Car industry in Detroit and every one of them bounced back within the first year.  He wants people like me unemployed and my husband because of his race who has been overlooked for benefits for over a year now to be able to see a doctor when needed by having insurance that we couldnt get any other way.  He is helping us.  You only have to look at what he has said and done to know that the American population is his main focus.

Off-Topic / Re: Grieving

Everyone handles grief in different ways.  I lost my brother and I didnt think I would ever get past the loss.  He was my best friend and confidant.  I have over the years accepted that even though I miss him he is not suffering anymore.  Not a day doesnt go by that I dont think of him or still wish I could talk to him one more time.  But I have also learned to go on without him.  It is hard and you can only do it one day at a time.  My heart and prayers go out for you.  I can say anything that will help you just know you are not alone and there are people around who know the loss and are there for you.

I am totally in love with my husband.  I wanted to be with him the rest of my life.  He gets mad sometimes and runs his mouth and says things he doesnt mean.  But the things he says are very hurtful and heartbreaking.  I have tried for the 5 and half years we have been married to look past it and move on.  I am tired and frustrated now of it.  Even his sister is telling me enough is enough. 

But I love him so much I dont know what to do.  Stay and let him continue to say things he doesnt mean or leave and find peace without the hurtful things.  I am so lost and now that my Mom is gone I dont have anyone to turn to.  My sister in law says that her family will back me and I wont be alone.  And I will miss my step daughter so much.  What do I do?  He refuses counselling.

Off-Topic / Re: why are some people so critical

« on: February 28, 2012, 09:21:16 am »Message ID: 496812

Critical people are unhappy people who are not happy until they make other people unhappy along with them.  I have a story you might want to use.

The Law of the Garbage Truck !
One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.
My taxi driver slammed on his breaks, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly.
So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!' This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.'
He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you.
Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home or on the streets.
The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so..... 'Love the people who treat you right.. Pray for the ones who don't.'
Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it.

Cateyes.  I think what he wants more than the sandwich is someone to talk to, to be friends.  I have been to several nursing homes and some people there never get visitors and they are so very lonely.  Yes you feel like you are being used but look at it that he is just lonely and you showed him how kind and friendly you really are.

I am with you.  I lost 50 pounds and everyone including my doctor thought I was sick.  She tested me for every cancer out there before she was happy for the weight loss.  Shesh.  Love the body you have and dont worry about what others think that is my motto.

No it would make you feel worse if the relationship means anything to you.  If it doesnt then maybe you need to leave the relationship.  Cheating is never the answer.

For me if it feels like an attack I get sensitive.  Try to make it not an attack, but a way of making you both grow.
