Seems pretty neat. If I get called back to interview at any of the places I applied (and thus feel comfortable opening up my bank account again), I think I'll drop a few bucks in.

You can and you will do it! I want to see you post here with the success story that is crossing the bridge! If not, I....I....I'll get on the BTA! There, I've put my hard-earned trading reputation into your hands. How's that for motivation?


Don't any of you dare encourage Jaz NOT to cross the bridge now..



You fight dirty. I DID find a way to get there which doesn't involve going over the bridge... but it adds 40 miles and about a 1/2 hour to my drive.. :-\


Thanks,
Jazaray

Everything for the cause .

The tourist route is unacceptable. You'll be flashing your wallet at more gas stations this way. So unless your car goes go-go-gadget-hovercraft mode, you still need to cross that bridge.

You remind me a bit of me in my youth. I was always a chicken to try something new. I remember a vacation in Portugal where I was afraid to go down the 25-30 meter long waterslide (nothing spectacular, just your average slide) in the swimming pool. Finally, 3 days before the end of the vacation my parents got so fed up of me wanting to go off that thing but not daring, they set me an ultimatum or sort (can't remember details). So I went. I spent the last 3 days going down that slide almost continuously having a blast.

Now I'm not saying you will enjoy driving that bridge, but all it could take is just one drive across.

There are only good things that come of this:

-having a job
-not having to drive an extra 1,5 hours and 40 miles (eating up gas + possibly more maintenance on your car. Last time I checked you're not that lucky with man's four-wheeled friend, so each mile you can cut would be great)
-getting (although maybe partially) over your fear, and perhaps gaining some more self-esteem/selfrespect (this might sound odd, but I can certainly understand that you would feel like a conqueror when you do cross that bridge)

And if this all doesn't work, well, I can inform you that some guy is interested in buying my AQ Tron set, setting me up for a perfect BTA case..


Just tell yourself that tomorrow you will cross that bridge. Prepare yourself mentally could make a difference.
Now go and conquer that thing, we all know you can do it!

Ugh. Spent 3.5 hours locked out of my apartment, waiting on the (wet) stoop for my partner to return with her set of keys. It was dark, snowing, and while it was pretty mild out (-3 C), all I had was a rainjacket and a sweater. It was dull. And less than pleasant.

So my buddy married this good christian girl - a virgin in fact - after knowing each other less than 2 months and they had a big fight after she read a text on his phone where he told someone how lousy she was in bed. She left for a couple months to 'figure things out.'

So now they're back together and he tells me that she's better in bed now, and after 2 months of *cough not having sex cough* she learned a few sexual moves that she hadn't been doing before. Plus she told him "hey you should get a (genitalia) ring - I like the way it feels."

Hmmm....gee I wonder what she was doing during those two months.

Reminds me of a friend.

They'd been dating and he was her first, according to her. She presses him for an honest answer on how "good" she was, and he honestly tells her that she wasn't that good. Fast forward a couple days, they fight and agree to some time apart.

They see each other around the college and talk here and there, but contact between them is brief and sparse. Around 3 months apart, she starts talking to him more, and they're together again after almost 4 months. But now, she's pregnant.

Fast forward again several months. She has him convinced that he's the father. Everyone else, not so much. The child is born, and he's the color of milk chocolate. She's a lighter tan Hispanic, and my friend is whiter than pure marble.

Hmmm...
(spoiler: it's not his, and she dropped out along with her baby daddy.)

Which leads me to wonder why peoples' reactions when told they're not that good is to flee. Without TMI, in my experience, having that conversation is just opening the door to have both parties talk about what they like and/or dislike, and then resolve to, ah, spend plenty of time practicing

Simply put, you can NEVER tell your partner that they aren't that good, regardless.

What a terrible way to communicate with anyone! Two people making the ****s have to be open and honest about what they like, what they want, and compromise once in a while because it's not all about one partner or the other.

Well yeah, I thought it went without saying that that's not how you phrase it when it's brought up.

There's really two things you never tell someone:
1. "You're a bad lover."
2. "You're a bad driver."
