hmmmm… guess you’re not going camping then.

Com’on Ya know… I have to tell ya. I’m so proud of my 16 year old daughter. She’s a beautiful big girl… and yesterday she comes to me and says with a great big smile on her face, that she’s started to interact with the people that give her crap. Example… yesterday was her birthday, and she’s walking down the hall with a plate of cupcakes… She’s dressed nice, and this guy calls out, “hey baby, how ’bout givin’ me one of ‘em cupcakes”. Normally, this was my daughters cue to say something like, bite me, and walk off. Yesterday, she stops… looks at the guy… smiles and gives him a cupcake. Shut my mouth! what do you think the guy did?! Said thanks.. .but not much else. If she had said, “bite me” like normal that would have been fuel to the fire, and she would have had to listen to this bozo all the way to class! Instead she took the CONTROL, that he so obviously wanted!

Who CARES what you are wearing? RESPECT your mother and do what she wants (unless it’s dangerous or illegal) and then don’t let the rest of the world take your CONTROL… if someone gives you crap about what you are wearing… tell them… “hey… this is the LATEST in camping wear…where have YOU been?! Besides… you see these thick pants?? They are protecting me from Ticks that cause Lyme disease AND snakes… you do know there’s tons of snakes around here right?…. Those cute a$$ cool girls will ALL BE WISHING they were dressed like YOU!.

hmmm gotta love yourself (and I mean love… respect is good, but is not love) before you can give love… gotta give love before you can get love…
Bright blessings.

Have you given it to yourself? Do you love yourself?

yep… I agree with Oster!

because you are not whole. When we are whole… it is a great feeling to love and be loved… but it’s never a necessary feeling.

If you were married, with a healthy sex life, your lust would no way be what it is today.

yeah… I thought that’s what you meant… excellent point of course :)

I know the feeling… it’s not a sign of anything medical that you have worry about.. it’s just a sign that you don’t get enough! lol… it’s all good my friend.

Interesting replys :)

I’ve wondered about this question myself actually… and I’m 47. So as long as it’s unpoisonous and directed at the right person. hmmmmm I’m not sure what that means. Unpoisonus… the lust does not become an action? especially if directed at the ‘wrong’ person?

Lust is a sign of a strong, hopefully healthy libido… Be a gentleman …have integrity, at all times… no wistleing at the girls… NO staring at the girls…ESPECIALLY when on a date… don’t ever let your lust make you RUDE… subtle flirting OK, but no one liners; they are old and useless. Then when the time is right your (our) lust is an excellent tool, to have an absolute WONDERFUL time!!!

There is no trying in this journey… only doing. The universe will not wait for you. It will steam roller OVER you as fast as a flash flood… this is why so many are depressed these days… they are looking and waiting for the perfect time… but second guess everything. Don’t try this exercise Wisdom… DO IT… as they say in the Nike commercial … Just DO IT :)) And here’s the best part… at first you don’t have to believe it… just say the words; say them out loud. They are magic words… and impact us more than we can ever know. I know it’s hard, but I have great faith in your willingness to change! You are here seeking change, when most people run away from it… do you KNOW how BRAVE that sounds to me…and others that might be feeling the same as YOU! OMG… you could be the next leader of how do live a great life even WITH the obsticles!
I’ve been impressed with you… and I have a great feeling :))

great post bug… thanks.

Love is about your actions (not so much words)where you are willing to sacrifice for something or someone else. Let’s say you want an icecream… but as you are buying it from the icecream vendor passing by…a little girl is looking up at you with great big brown cow eyes… obviouisly unable to get one… and wanting one so much… you give her yours. You have just shared not only an icecream… but LOVE. Ok… and here how it all works. You have to give love to get it. In order to give it you have to have it. Sounds like a catch 22, but it’s not, because you can CREATE love in your heart and soul all by yourself. How? by loving yourself! Are you willing to make sacrifices for yourself? Great love requires great risk. When you love yourself, you have an endless supply of love to give… and as I said, it is the giving that you recieve. Go to the mirror every day till the end of June… and tell your reflection. I love you… I am love. By the end of June, I promise you will know a difference.

That’s a big disicion… children… adoption. If one in the relationship says no… then it has to be a no. If someone igonres those feelings… it is a recipe for disaster!!!
Sorry… Bright blessings ~ Rich

ahhhh indeed… I am NOWHERE like ALL guys… I take pride in that fact. :))

LOL… you ladies got THIS one… ((((HUGS)))
Just do remember… most guys like the flirting… but game playing is always tricky.
