hehe I left out details. It wasn't flirting. At least I hope not cause I went to her wedding and her husband was right there. Still as I was walking out I was thinking "if she was single I would have pegged that as flirting 100%". I think she was probably just being friendly and just ended up being awkward.

It is sort of funny that we both went to the same college and the same major a year apart and didn't know each other at all in school and ended up meeting down in TX. Though I'm better friends with her husband who also went to Purdue. Mainly cause he plays poker with us more often than she does.

Ah I guess I can see that. Usually when I'm just play flirting it's with my single female friends that I'm close enough with where we know it's just playing around. I've never flirted with a married woman before. I think I'd feel weird doing that.

It's not real flirting it's more a fun banter ... it is kinda of flirting because of the banter, but since everyone involved knows it means nothing and isn't going anywhere it's just for fun:)

Easy Pre-screening with Nathan and Ron. Thanks Universal!!!

That was divine intervention btw. By the time I found out about them the screening in Austin was sold out but I still setup URLy to refresh the page on fandango every minute looking for changes. The thing went off and sure enough the buy option was there again. I quickly bought two tickets and then thought maybe I should get more for other friends and sure enough it was sold out again never to return. I went to the theater to pick up my ticket the minute I got off work in case it was a glitch that they were going to try to correct later.

Here's a rather brooding ponder: at what point do you say enough is enough in a relationship? (I'm not talking abuse or anything, 'cause those relationships should be ended immediately without any need for debate) I'm talking about where one or both members have had enough of each other, and their behavior is getting in the way of a decent relationship with other members of the family. should it even end? or should they just push through it even though they seem to constantly make each other unhappy around others?

BORIS

From years of experience, kids are only "bastards" when they are raised wrong or if they have "isms" etc. And even then alot of the time the behaviour can be redirected. I think raising kids should mainly be done by parents who would ideally be strongly supported by family, friends and community networks.

apparently not, because 34 years of marriage later.... the "I've had enough" comments started..i don't know when, probably a year or so ago, the petty arguing and hurting of each other's feelings never seems to stop, especially when other people are around, and when one of the members of the relationship actually dreads the other coming back to the house from, say, nextdoor? I'm like "um....that's a bad sign, isn't it?"

each person is completely fine on their own, as soon as they get in a room together, it's like an automatic explosion.

..where'd the bastards comment stem from, boris? i think i lost part of a convo again ><;;

Divorce can get very ugly. I vote the counseling route first. There was love there at some point. Maybe a professional can find out what happened to it and find a way to revive it.

My cousin is going through the process of getting a divorce and the stories I'm getting relayed through my mom just make me cringe. Of course it's all one sided in favor of my cousin, but it sounds like they're really mad at each other. The things that drive me nuts are the parts where they're trying to hurt each other and end up hurting their kids in the process. Like allegedly keeping things the kid wants at one house or the other just so the kid won't be happy when he's with the other parent.

I'm sure not all divorces get so ugly but the potential alone is frightening to me.

And the crying was for Wash I think. I didn't talk to the people who were crying I just made fun of them later.

counselling is hard when person A thinks everything is person B's fault, and person B thinks everything is person A's fault because person B has had enough of person A's bullshit, rightfully so, and person A insists that person A has no problems at all--because everything is the other person's fault. they can't talk things out anymore, at all. i think only one of them would ever consent to trying that, honestly, so it kind of gets stuck.

*sigh* counselling might work, but i'm afraid they'd just revert after a while. their attitudes can turn on a dime. they're not bad people, and they're not always miserable, but they seem miserable more often than not.

Hey Freelancertex... I feel your pain, and forgive me coming into the middle of this thread with little understanding of the background, but it is these very situations that councelling can have the greatest impact in. I have been stuck in a bad place and even during the councelling sessions I have thought I was not being challenged or given tools to get through things, but later stuff clicked into place because the questions a good coucillor asks keep you assessing your situation! I would also say that I have seen this work when someone is convinced they are in no way to blame for a relationships breaking down, when it is almost always both parties who are 'stuck' in a cycle of some sort or another!

{{{hugs}}} I hope it gets resolved in a good way!

Depends on the person and how motivated they are to make things work..'cause it is work.

Zeek I hate those situations... those parents should be smacked senseless. Not a huge fan of Demi Moore but I have to say she and Bruce willis handled their divorce with absolute class and minimal impact on those kids. They live nearby each other and always have. Every holiday, birthday, special event they ( the adults) suck it up and spend the holiday all together so the kids don't have to chose between one parent or another. They may not have been able to resolve their differences, but they made damn sure their feelings didn't spill onto their kids. That's a good parent

You're missing that most natives just don't have a lot of facial hair.. it just doesn't grow in the same volume. NV can go months without shaving.

*jealous* shaving is so annoying. Not shaving is annoying too though. It's a catch 22. Either prickly stuff all over or constant shaving.

I don't even remember what made me wonder about this but I was just like wait a minute. I guess that makes sense though.

Well, Actually...

Select to view spoiler:

Dumbledore is right. The horcruxes could be any old thing, it's just that Voldemort decided to used the special objects tied to the founders. He could have easily decided to use things that were not as special, but only did so because it tickled him to defile the objects.

Having said that, I'm basing it off of the books because I have given up on the movies...they end up slaughtering the books way too much.
