Ooh *winces at correctness* man, things are expensive these days. Well, thank you littlenick and jcd!! You’ve helped me in my trip planning! hehe

I hope to repay you guys! Thank you!!

Hmm…ok, say in a busy suburb going to an international airport a little less than 10 miles away?

:/ I’m sorry, I feel your pain! I hesitate to post until I can look up some things, and I dont know if I can do that till I’m ready….but I just wanted to say I empathize, although I know what you need is practical advice right now.

I guess, running through my head first, is that in order to feel less stress you’d have to get out of your “financial hell”, in as much as is possible while the divorce is still going on, or at least start planning for it.

I am sorry if I am assuming a different thing altogether, but I am thinking that by what you mean by “financial hell” is that you are in a lot of debt that you are having difficulty repaying. I am thinking that you will probably want to see a reliable debt counselor that consults for free…

Umm…I am just a kid compared to you, but I know what a divorce is like- my mother is going through one, nasty divorce with my father, who wants to horde all the valuable assets without taking responsibility for my two younger siblings- and I am sort of web savvy and I hope a practical mind, and maybe in a way I can point you to some resources for free/low-cost debt counseling…Just a few I’ve found:

http://www.smartmoney.com/debt/advice…

http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/c…

I hesitate to give you anymore links, to specific credit bureau services that have websites online…..only because i am not an expert or knowledgeable enough to separate weeds/corrupt services with legit ones. But if you Google with the term “deb counselor” you cann pullup links to specific services. And discern on your own.

*Hugs* Then maybe what you need is a reliable friend, who can believe in you and love you as you are, and not push you till youre ready. Maybe professional therapy hasnt worked because they used tactics that didnt suit what you really needed.

I dont know if I can really help, but I can listen and try to be a friend, even from far away (although, I do need to let you know I have responsibilities and people I am responsible to and care for that I cannot slip, but I can help when I am able, which doesnt mean irregularly, but just means that some times I wont be able to extend a conversation very long). Just give me a Shout on my page wall….Send me an IM you’d be willing to give out^^, and I’ll give you mine in exchange.

Peace! And just so you know, I think tt is good that you are aware about it, which means that you do not want to remain where you are, which is a good start.*hug*

http://www.calorieking.com/ —> Calorie counter/nutritional checker (led by experts it looks like)

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/ –> another community, more centered on calorie counting

Not sure what you mean by “schedule to follow” do you mean customized exercise plans that is generated for you, or ones you can put together yourself through lists of exercises? (disclaimer: not trying to be your doctor here, lol) If so, I think they’re out there, and I can look if you like.

One thing though, that we need to determine– are you willing to pay extra for certain services/advice/benefits of a certain website? Because then we can examine, look at those options. I’ve been sticking to free, here, mostly.

Let me know!

ok the html didnt work here >.> but lol those links are legit! :)

Heyy! Need to do lose weight too…That’s my goal this summer- and to just keep healthy! Two great sources I’ve found, one I prefer other not so much, but that was because, for me, one service the latter provided seemed unaccessible and it was the one I needed the most….But, depending on your need i>my /i> preference may not fit yours…

B> a href=”http://www.peertrainer.com>PeerTrainer /a> /b>:: I have an account here, this is a community for weight loss with tons of great tools and, I think, an active community. Its been featured before on the news as well…my peeve about this, however, is that while they claim to have a blog feature, which I really wanted for my support system…trying to use that blog feature was well frustrating. Couldnt find it easily in other words and I thought I needed to go to a different site. But: I do believe they have a calorie counter, exercise journal, meal journal, two types of mini-support groups, ability to upload pics and videos, and articles. Free, I think they have a level of paid membership, but not sure. In any case all the features you’d need, are provided free.

B> a href=”http://www.extrapounds.com>ExtraPounds /a> /b>:: This is my preference, this is a blog- based weight loss support community with a weight tracker, food tracker, exercise tracker, support groups, general nutritional info, and a great, active supportive community through their blogs which I like because they’re a BIG part of their features and its used more actively, I feel (maybe it is because of the particular groups I’m in though…maybe there are active groups out there!)…and, because they look good, it appeals to my young taste, lol.

PeerTrainer (peertrainer.com)may be more comprehensive than ExtraPounds (extrapounds.com), in my neutral opinion though.

And, hey, if you want a weight loss buddy, give me a shout out on my page!

Hope I helped!:)

I will pray for you tonight:(

Nante, thanks for replying:)….In my view, I feel that because this site is such a way that its oriented to helping other people that a Rant should not be to the point when its to insult others, ma’m *bows*…..Well, this is not the way I want to spend my time….Take care everyone!

:( This is not a place for debate people….The point is to HELP others, and not to debate! Grr

Solved:)

Ahh solved my own problem! ok for those of you who encountered it/is encountering it…maybe it was the server, i swore that I had the right password every time…but to do a password request you have to go to the login page, enter your email address and leave the password field blank. Then click and a green bar should appear in a second saying an email with your info was sent to you.

Thanks for all who read, lol!

*Hugs* Hang in there! There are a few things that one could do, but the beginning always starts with this question:

There is a reason why you and your friend are friends; friends often are attracted to spend time with each other because they find something compelling in the other’s personality that is a great comfort or support for them (even if its not obvious or if they’re too proud to admit it). Why is your friend friends with you if you already dont have a great personality?

Ask your friends and your family what they like about you and list them on a piece of paper. Then look at it and note how long it is. See how many people have said great things about you? There’s nothing wrong about you, you are beautiful, girl!! And there are many types of beauty in life.

Also…

I’m 21 and I can still remember how stupid and mean guys some times can be at 13, 15, 17, heck…20! *rolls eyes* They’re jerkier and more stereotyped when young….You already have a wonderful personality and, while I know you probably dont want to hear this….in the end, to get along with guys well, for a long long, long time, they have to respect you for your personality! Not your looks….it doesnt work that way when you’re “cool” adults.

So, if they dont notice you and just notice your friend– its not because you aren’t good enouch. Its because they dont realize a great girl when they’re looking at her– yet.
