    I promised myself I wouldn't do this again, it took 2 days to get over it, but once more.
    Let's talk bitter (and not about men, about life)
    Try burying your brother in April after an IED in Afghanistan blew him into 3 pieces. Try losing your parents at 13 on valentines day because your dad was too drunk to drive. Try being raised from 13 to 18 by your aunt who died of lung cancer 6 weeks after graduation. And try going off to college and having your family home rented out while your gone, and then burned to the ground.
    I don't need pity, or tough love, I need to be home.
    I know this is TMI, but it's the last time anyone will see it here.

    I don't even want to know what little things you have.

    For the record, I don't think your "picker" is off. You've pegged gate watcher as what he is after all.

    I love my wife for her beauty and I'm not ashamed to admit that. But I would never had asked her for our first date had I not been intrigued with her mind, which is still her most fabulous trait.

    I'm not sure what you're doing to solicit dates, but I suggest that you try a more cerebral approach. You're obviously attracted to smart guys, so seek out smart guys. Prioritize your interests, and present yourself with that identical set of priorities.

    Are you really going to let boxers come between us? If you dislike them so adamantly I would be willing to adapt to your particular preference ;)

    The thread has gone from the ridiculous to the sublime, or maybe from the sublime to the ridiculous.

    Carry on.

    In truth, I don't remember anyone asking you to please post your thoughts on the sublime, or the ridiculous.
    Seems you may have enough of both.

    I'm doubting you even know the definition of "sublime."

    Here's a hint, it's not a sno-cone flavoring

    i feel bad for those 3 cops.

    i'm not saying that it's dodgybutbt you know you're surrounded by rednecks when the TV room at the truck stop is filled with locals.

    And here's a hint on ridiculous; your mind.
    And you're doubting is making me want to......Naa, that's a banning offense I think.

    ask the suit if he knows any rental agents? i'm betting he looks at one in the mirror every morning. the real estate market is still weak, and they're never good for sales in that kind of market.

    Good idea except for the fact that with the type of people living around me, that's all that would rent it. The neighborhood reeks of stale beer as it is.

    I do try, even though it's difficult at times. Thanks for the kind words.

    you're next to a major Army post, it's full of guys a lot like your late brother....who will pay the rent, and not beat it to hell. there's too much CO drama in that.

    That's true, I wanted one of his friends to take it, but they've already headed back, and for some really stupid reason you can't list on post without an agent certified by the Feds.

    craigslist. ;)

    but for the love of god, don't put "preferred" or "only" in your listing! you'll get sued for housing discrimination before the sun sets.

    So you have no idea what I believe. You could have saved yourself the embarrassment and just said you don't know.

    All of my family is dead as well I watched my mom die right in front of me in the most horrifying way possible at the age of 23. I took care of my grandma when she was dying of cancer in around the same time. I have no family as of 23 to the present. I chose to leave on my own at 16 and got no help from anyone and lived in the ghetto for most of my teen years and was homeless for awhile. I could go on but I think you get the picture. If you let that rule your life you will always be miserable. You aren't the only one who has had it tough. Change your attitude and magically your life will change too.

    I'm truly sorry for your loss. I was never homeless, even after the fire, I was allowed to stay in the dorms for the summer of freshman year and I found a little apt in south bend my sophomore year and after. Back then it was mostly fun and partying; I'm pretty smart so classes were never a problem, And I had a great time. I was even a "Gold" girl during football season every year and it was a blast. But my brother pushed me to succeed, and I think it was because of him that I earned 3 masters. So now that it's just me, I have to be the strong one, and things like men and relationships are down the list. If that's cold and miserable then that's my life right now. It may change one day but now this is me.
