You’ll probably his favorite Auntie:)[/quote]

Hehe. I’m his only aunty. As for the babysitting, probably only when I get the chance to visit. They all live in a different state to me.

[quote Dr. Ralph]Babies are the best! They make everyone smile, especially if they are relatives but not yours to feed and burp and change 24/7… I have 3 grandkids now and they are way better than kids. You play with them and send them home for mom and dad to deal with.[/quote]

Heh. Actually, this is the forth, so I can agree with that wholeheartedly. I already have a step-nephew and two step-nieces previously, the newest is just biologically the first. I don’t think of them any different though, they’re still all family.

[quote Penguin B☺y Brian]finally some good news on help.com,
anyway congrats…again[/quote]

I know! The funny thing is, at 5am yesterday, I received a call from a friend who’s had her son on the same day as my nephew too. Lol. They’re popping out everywhere it seems.

Thank you all. :) Apparently my mom passed on slightly misunderstood info too. It was 10:18, not 10:15, and 5lbs 5 ounces, not 11. I hate hearing through the grapevine. Heh. I still don’t even know the official name yet. *sigh*

[quote ~LazyDaze~]Nice one!
Have they named him yet?[/quote]

Well, there was talk throughout the pregnancy of boy names, and they settled on Hunter Hendrix. For the love of their WWE, and my brother’s love for classic rock. Whether that’s the name my sister-in-law has stuck with, I’m not sure. I’ll probably be updated more when it’s not midnight. Lol.

Thank you, all. :)

There was fish?? Darn it, I always miss out on the good stuff.

Congratulations on getting married soon, and good luck with the move. I’ll miss you. :) Do stop in once in a while in the future if you can. I know that things here haven’t been the same as they used to be, but it would certainly be nice to see a quick hello.

Take care of yourself, Bogdan. My well wishes and thoughts will be with you.

Well technically, you’re still jailbait to me. Plus, my guess would be you live on the other side of the world since I’m usually the only one crazy enough to be awake at 3am like it is now. Heh.

My advice though, keep looking. There’s plenty of ladies out there looking for a guy like you. They’re just a little harder to find because in their preference to a guy…they’ll meet them in some spontaneous story-like way that one day they can tell their children and grandchildren about, and you’ll find them. So they’re pretty much waiting for you, rather than the other way around.

Or maybe that’s just me…

Haha. Definitely older than 17. Without the normal auto-refresh we used to have on the site, I didn’t see your reply until mine went through and I refreshed the page.

I’m 23.

Sadly, I have a feeling you’re too young for me. I’m looking for that type of guy who wants a girl like that around MY age. Lol.

Well, live sort of is an STD in some way… We’re born through sexual relations, and after that moment, we slowly die, like a disease. I’ll stop being philosophical for a moment though.

I’ll miss Bogdan, even though I might sound bias with him being Australian and all. (You don’t see many on this site often.) He was a great guy, and I do wish I had got to know him better. I know how he feels about the site’s slow crumbling, I’m starting to question my use for being here anymore too. I just need the right closure before I say my final goodbyes.

Whatever he’s doing in life, I wish him well, and the very best of luck and contentment. I’ll always think of him fondly.

Ok, looking into this more, guster sort of said what I was thinking, just in a more blunt way. Lol. While I wouldn’t say a real relationship, I’d say it was more that neither of these guys are probably the best choice anyway.

You said you’ve been with your boyfriend since you were 14. Perhaps what that is when you feel closer to him, is that you’ve been together for so long, you feel like you need to be loyal and dedicated to him. Or at least to some extent. On the other hand, this other guy seems to be giving you something new and refreshing, and that sounds like the problem. It’s not the guys themselves, it’s your own issues.

You don’t want to leave your boyfriend because of the history, and yet you don’t want to continue it because subconciously you’re probably realizing that you don’t feel the same way as you did however many years ago it was, but the history there is trying to tell you otherwise. I’ve been in a similar situation, and it usually doesn’t end well. Thankfully, my first boyfriend turned out to not like girls at all, and now we’re close friends again…we just look at the same guys. Lol.

Point is, it sounds to me like neither of these guys are right for you. You’re at a time where you need to step back and be on your own for a while. And as scary as that might be, now that you’re in university and you’ve had someone there since 14, it’s not idea to go rushing into any relationship.

Of course, this is just the way I see it, and only a suggestion, but take it to mind anyway. You might find that even attempting it will bring you to what you need, and ready for when the time comes.

No.

This is an advice site, not a site to give you permission to steal.

Total win, Dr. Foreman.

[quote Xeno Dragon]Personally, I think Harry Potter went on for too long. It was a great story, written well, and consistent, at least believably, with the mythology on which it was based.

Twilight, *gag* has a few problems. One, if you’re going to write about vampires, there are a few elements you need to include. One, they are undead. Two, they drink blood to survive. Three, they have superhuman abilities. Four, they may only be active at night, for the sun will destroy them.
Now… I haven’t read any of the books, and I don’t plan to, but since no one can seem to shut up about them, I know a lot more that I’d like. The sparkling thing. Every time someone who dislikes the book hears about this, they say, “Vampires don’t f**king sparkle!” Most of the time, the supporters retort with, “Well, it’s fiction, they can do whatever the author wants!”
Think about this. If I were to write about a dragon, but instead of scales and wings, I gave him white sheep fluff and helicopter blades… well, by golly, that’s creative, but it’s not a f**king dragon. See, the reason the vampire lovers community is pissed about this is because they’re not vampires.

Since Dracula, through Hellsing, The Vampire Chronicles, Underworld, Baldur’s Gate, World of Darkness, Castelvania, DC Comics, Tsukihime, Forever Knight, Legacy of Kain, Marvel Comics, Quest for Glory, Vampire Princess Miyu, Morbius, Bloodrayne, Guilty Gear, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the Middle Earth universe, the Anita Blake mythology, Vampirella, and yes, even the Harry Potter world, vampires have followed the same four rules. other things may change, such a fear of garlic/crosses, damage by water/holy water, needing to be invited into houses, but the core of what the vampire mythology is, has stayed the same through all of these, and hundreds more that I didn’t have the room to list. I’m sure you’re all smart enough to find the whole list, you have Google, after all. Anything other a vampire should not be called a vampire, and that is why so many are pissed off by this. The goths see it as another thing the emokids are trying to steal from them. The other vampire fans see it as a cheap, watered-down version of that which they’ve come to love.

That, and… well, I had to post this somewhere.

I could not have said it better myself. Bravi bravissimi. I never got pulled into the Harry Potter series after the 4th one. I thought they were dragging it out too, which is pretty much why I gave up on it. But I still think it’s a brilliant piece of literature. Plus, for it initially being an adult novel and sucking in kids and teenagers, that’s something to be highly proud of seeing as “adult” stuff isn’t really seen as cool to young’ns.

I’ve read the first four books of Harry Potter and went through a little phase at the time. So I’ll have to choose that.

Plus, I think the plot makes more sense in a supernatural way than vampire wannabes who sparkle. Sorry, as a longtime vampire fan and/or obsessor, it irritates me. They do not sparkle, and they’re not exactly “normal” or romantic. They’re frightening, and they’re dangerous. The entire genre is just insulted with that Twilight crap.

Just my opinion of course.

It sounds to me that he what is called a “functioning addict”. You said that at least he’s high, you can’t get a conversation out of him. There’s your first sign. Yes, he’s an addict. It just doesn’t seem like he’s willing to admit it. However, it’d be extremely careful, he could end up doing it worse. More beers, or even earlier in the day, etc.

Nah, that’s minor. Besides, anyone who holds onto a petty past past which is of no concern of their’s, should re-think who they’re placing the stupidity on. It certainly isn’t you if you’ve come back from it.
