Thanks, LK.

Sympathies, Peaches. Hang in there.

Sorry if this is posted elsewhere. I searched topics and looked in the help section. Didn't find it.

No, Starfish, I am afraid you are the one who is wrong. Tell me, just how many teachers are out there who actually recommend that students take speed? Seriously...I'd be curious to know. And if you can prove this, then why is that teacher (er, those teachers) still teaching? But...oh...you...

I can appreciate that you are worried about your daughter and there is no doubt that there are some bad teachers out there. Having said that, it is a mistake to paint all teachers with the same brush. Let me tell you how the last 24 hours or so have gone for one of those lazy and apathetic...

Physical appearance is probably the most important EARLY determinant of both romantic and non romantic attraction. However...it wears off pretty quick if the personality (and a variety of other variables) don't work out. At least this is what most of these sorts of studies find. Notice that...

I think I saw it earlier this afternoon in the paper aisle! Oh wait...Costco?? Never mind.

I don't think you are wrong, B. You don't need her mood to pull you down with her. Maybe you can continue to encourage her some while pursuing other relationships too?

Drifted, our past always catches up with us and sometimes that's a hard lesson to learn. But there is a lot of truth in the idea that "this too shall pass." I'm dreading the day that some of my past comes back to me... Sometimes all you can do is to treat each day as a new beginning and a...

In spite of myself, I am thinking about the woman I can never be with and how I need to stop thinking about it.

They don't bother me, but I'm new here so they might later if I stick around.

Why not? I'm curious. Ok, Ms Unique! It's a deal!
