Swearing off--help me be strong please (home, travel, job)

Hi Metlakatla,

I'm just home from work.... no computers there.... Reading your posts and seeing what you commented on in the "R" forum, I fully understand your need to cleanse your mind! The subject matter there seems to of taken a turn for the worse. Well you have maintained your common sense, so there is hope for you! Ever since the Rance - Sweeden Love story climaxed and we all anxiously await the December installments, people are trying to find a substitute for such a great story.

Rance When is the Movie comming out? You know, "Arctic Love Story"?

I have an idea on how you can have fun and lots of entertainment where you are. You mention you work with 40 guys.... So break them down by married, single, divorced, looser... etc. You could build a Woman's C D guide to men based on your 40 unsuspecting "test" subjects. There could be catagories, like shape of face, and eyes. you could spend a whole week just comparing eyes and personalities. You could collect photo headshots and have your other female and male friends on C D describe what they think the subjects personality is based on just the photo. Then you could interview each and see if the people on C D have any realistic perception.

This could keep you busy all winter, with all the ladies on C D refining their skills and teaching the young ones that are challanged in this area hot to spot that bad egg in a great package.

Well its a start any way.

Ok, earlier I offered alternatives.... I think alot of the more shocking and controversial threads are more fiction then anything. Attention seekers who are fabricating stories. I could be wrong but this perception keeps me from reading them through.

I agree there are some there that do so to see if they can get a rise out of everyone.

Others seem to be truley seeking help, and others turn it into a crutch. If your thread is almost 1000 post long, you should of gotten the message by then and acted upon what your determined as good advice.

OMG!!!! Help! its may be contagious!!!! Quick change the subject!!!!

Where is all the SNOW???? Now THAT is a travisty!!!

Hey, I like trashy romance books, especially those with pictures. The DVD's are pretty cool also.

This place has a relationship forum??? That's scary....

I know! I reacted the same way when I first heard. Of all the things I didn't expect to find here... that's one. Next thing there'll be therapists at Freddy's...

I don't think so...

I watched Oprah earlier. I really, really regret it.

[Arcticthaw]

Not YOU TOO??????

I would need much more than a 40 to watch HIM.

Just put a gun to my head and pull the trigger! Less painful.

Freddies, Playland is a built in baby sitting service for shoppers. Could pull double duty for the therapists office.

Right. I don't think there is one in the Juneau freddies... But I'm pretty oblivious to that sort of thing.

I also watched Judge Judy today, just for a minute or so. But I do draw the line at Doc Phil...
