I understand where you're coming from. I know there are exceptions, but I believe that people who choose to get into educaion aren't motivated first and foremost by money. Both of my daughters are teachers and were motivated by things other than money to pursue their chosen careers.

Thanks for the kind words.

I understand about the reaction to being threatened. There something called "interrogation play" that we do that's also controlled, but has an aura of danger, although it's only roleplay.

I don't have to add anything to my scary factor. I'm scary enough.

Whatever you learned about me in 2010, I can only hope it was good (LOL).

Have an amazing new year!!

Being with good friends and engaging in stimulating conversation are always good ways to spend one's time.

Love the Eddas! Yay public domain.

Nerdy girls are the SEX! That damn kindle makes me drool. I can't wait to get one!

Really I was just covering my bases while stealing from the movie Imagine Me & You. See, if you wanted to kiss me: SCORE! Lola kisses! If not: Lola SEX! It was win-[super]win.

...I meant "your boss"

Hope you made it to work.

Holidays breed stress. Sometimes I wish I can be put to sleep until it's over.

Fuck me if I'm wrong, but I think you'd rather kiss me.

Merry Christmas, gorgeous!

You need to write in a 4th character who is madly in love with you...yet you don't even know he exists.

Good idea. I didn't think of that, as I've never posted anything under "spoilers" before.

Hey, maybe I should post them as a "Set". I might become the first male SG. lol.

You can achieve intimacy and calm without the confinement of committal. It just takes a little more understanding from the other party.

You're still very young, so a little mayhem isn't the worst thing in the world. I think you're well on your way to calm and peace. Most of us never achieve it no matter how much we try.

Your take on your break-up is healthier than mine. I was angry that Mae-Ann broke up with me first even though the relationship was damaging for me. I'm not sure if it's a "man thing" or what.

Have a wonderful celebration

I vote strong!
It means you can protect yourself and in the long run will have a healthier body.

The winter blues is a real thing, sometimes we just have to roll with it

Your can have it all. I know a woman around your age who's a serious wrestler. She's both thin and strong. You might want to consult an expert in nutrition. You seem to have the training pretty down pat.

From my experience, the best remedy for perking up when you're not into a party is seeing someone there that gets your juices flowing. Maybe you should reconsider inviting the guy you're seeing.

I was feeling like shit when I arrived at a holiday party last night. When i saw that my friend Mata was there and she smiled and gave me a big hug, everything seemed okay with the world.

I'm proud of the way Annette and I raised our girls. She had a lot more to do with how great they are, but I have to say that I contributed to it also. My girls and I are close. I suppose I'm reaping the benefits of having been a supportive and attentive dad when they were growong up.

I appreciate your kind words, as always.

Thanks lovely, what you wrote is huge in and of itself. I'm doing much better today - largely due to love and support from friends like you.

I hope things work out the way you'd like to with the boy(s). Sometimes casual is exactly what you need - gives you both a chance to be with yourselves (an important state that many couples miss out on) whilst still having the connection with someone.

I'm really sorry to hear that. I can't help but feel infuriated for you.

As creamcuffs points out, they ask because they care but they're trying to impose they're value system on you in the process. That, seems to me, is the real issue.

You're beautiful, highly intelligent, accomplished well beyond the norm and have friends and a lover. That's far richer than most of the population by all the measurements that count.

I know what you mean as it relates to my younger daughter. One of the few faults that Annette had was seemingly always bugging my daughter about her relationship status. It got to the point where she wouldn't tell her mom anything.

I know it's hard, but try to let what they ask you in one ear and out the other.
