about

I'm a mother of 2 boys who are 13 months apart. Talk about a handful. I'm a wife to the best husband I could have ever dreamed of.
I'm one of the very blessed.


I have Bipolar 1 Disorder. I hate taking all these medications and always going to doctors appointments, but life is too short to let mental illness get the better of me.


Often times life is a challenge, and nobody knows that better than me. I wake up wondering if this is going to be a day my illness overpowers my meds, and either sends me flying like a bat out of hell, or leaves me laying on the couch like a wet dish rag.


Thank all that is good in the world that I have an excellent support system at home.
I'm one of the lucky ones.


I'm honest, and that can either be a perk or s flaw. Depends on how you choose to look at it.
I like to see it as a perk, because it's better to hear the truth than to be told candy coated bullshit.

(Rating: 5) Thanks but ive seen all those movies:p
(Rating: 4) Thanks for an honest opinion and for sharing the decision you made with your sons. I agree about it being the way nature intended. They decided not to in the end for this and other reasons.
(Rating: 5) Thank you very much for answering! :) And thanks for showing me this, I didn't know there was an online Apple help forum. I ended up just deleting the account a couple of weeks ago, and hoping for the best hahaha! Thanks again :)

(Rating: 5) Gosh, thank you! I'd never thought that I could, or if my friends were really friends or not, but I'm going to give this thing a shot. Thanks!
(Rating: 3) Rating changed by L2 karenR This advice is not dangerous. Any time you rate a one you better follow it up with an abuse report.
(Rating: 5) Thanks! :D Glad somebody else understands!!
(Rating: 3) The school is my own choice. I am going to school but not back to the one that I was originally going to. So I guess there's no hope for my mom, but thanks for trying anyways.
(Rating: 5) Thanks!!!
(Rating: 4) I felt the same way, but she is mother and that's why I even contemplated staying. Thank you for the advice
(Rating: 5) I know this is an old question, but I'm going back and rating ones I hadn't yet. Turns out, it was unhealthy behaviour... he was thoroughly depressed.
(Rating: 5) thanks much :) I was just thinking about it, def won't even do it, too risky. I have tattoos, and my body handles those well, so I will stick to that ahaha <3
(Rating: 2) I just can't agree with this at all and I think you're being COMPLETELY irrational. I understand what you're saying but I think it IS my place because I saw something and I love both of my parents equally. If they are having problems then I need them BOTH to know that so that they can have the chance to work it out, especially before something gets too serious. Maybe Mom already knows or maybe she needs me to let her know so that her and Dad can work through this. I care about my family. A good mother would want her child to come to her with information like this, I think, because the child wants the best for the family. Thank you for the response but I just don't think it was good advice at all. You can't even type it out without becoming incredibly upset. I'm sorry if something like this happened in your life but not telling my mother about this will destroy my family. In essence, your advice is extremely harmful to the health of my family if I want it to survive. Rating changed by L2 mod.
(Rating: 5) thank you!

(Rating: 2) then why did u waste your time answering? tons of questions here aren't advice, it's a random weirdo's question, my curiosity is soo horrible. It got approved didn't it? Rating changed by L2 mod
(Rating: 3) cant you just answer the damn question.?!? Rating changed by L2 mod
(Rating: 5) actually with my first pregnancy i didnt know i had even started dialting.i went to my doctor appt and he told me i was 4 cm
(Rating: 4) Thnx for trying to understand my question, I have looked into it and there is such a thing as "adult child suppor" sounds like an oxymoron but it exists. And no i cannot help myself he left us with a 20000 dollar debt and I and my mother live alone, pay for our own medical, bills, AND School!
(Rating: 2) The acrilics worked better than steel for me :O
(Rating: 4) we did use a condom : ) && thank yu
(Rating: 5) thanks i guess i was just looking for advice. my kids are 6, 3, and im still pregnant with my 3rd.
(Rating: 5) thanks.
(Rating: 1) dont you think i know thats a lot of time waisted? obsviouly i want to move on, but its hard when its your first love, you coulda been a little uhm, nicer about it? jeeze, thanks.
(Rating: 2) Sure, you taught me that freedom of speech is important, but you didn't help at all. Sorry. I paraphrased a quote by Benjamin Franklin, but probably left out/simplified too many words. The only thing I left out, really, was that that should be the only check on this right. And I used the words "hurt/offend" rather than infringe on the rights of others. My bad. I'm not stupid, I just worded my question the wrong way; I understand how our system works. I don't think you needed to be so confrontational in your answer, but whatever. Good example of freedom of speech, I guess.
(Rating: 5) http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=571215 it isn't his most eloquent quote, but it works.
(Rating: 5) thank youu very much for bein the only one that understands. ive been doin way better hopefully ill just stop all together. thanks<3

(Rating: 2) sweet, didn't say it was? i asked, that's all.
(Rating: 5) I know it seems like that the way I wrote it. Mainly cause i have to get to the point. But he is really sweet and this is really not that often, it's just something that needs to not happen at all. I think what I am going to do is give it some time and really sit down with him and lay my cards out on the table. Let's say you have a 30 day month right...28 of those days will be filled with love and happiness and good communication...it's the 2 other days with that fall out...i need to get those 2 days knocked out totally. Thanks for the advice. I am going to pray on it and really lay my cards on the table as I said and see what he does from there.
(Rating: 5) Yeah, Thanks!
(Rating: 5) Yeah, exactly
(Rating: 5) thanks a lot i think ill actually do that.
(Rating: 5) lol. if i named my weiner dog st bernard and my st bernard weiner dog. :) thanks! i like bonnie and clyde too
(Rating: 5) Thanks a lot ! (:
(Rating: 5) Your point about waiting until our daughter is 2 is basically what we have decided. I don't want to be making this decision based on hormones. The child would be wanted and loved and well taken care of... I just don't know if I want to be pregnant again. So, hopefully in the next 12 months I will be able to make a more definite decision. Thanks for your point of view. It was helpful.
(Rating: 5) well i agree,of course it doesn't matter what my beliefs are;its not the issue. i just don't want this one thing to judge if she should break up with someone who she's been with for a year and loves, when they're relationship is as healthy as it is right now. but thanks for the input!
(Rating: 5) thanks
(Rating: 5) Thank u very much. I'm actually not talking about the 2.0 one tho. I still have the old one. I'm about to check now. But when it comes to the photo thing, I might have to just go to the pics themselves and change it to viewable by friends only in order for that one thing to work. Don't know about the others.
(Rating: 5) thanks, i'll try talking to her
(Rating: 5) Oh wow. I have been trying for like a month now to figure out how to upload vids on WMM. Thank you so much! I've finally got it working.
(Rating: 5) Yeah you´re right I do love her..and her strictness has helped me... even if she doesn´t tell me anything i feel like crap when I get lower than 90 which makes me a high achiever...I know she just cares about me but i need to have some space some privacy maybe...thankyou for helping me

(Rating: 5) thanks, but all of that stuff isn't as bad as things happening in the world today. 9/11, being in constant fear of terrorists, the economy is horrible, global warming, pollution, war in iraq, war in darfur,people not being able to live without technology, and way more.things are definitely MUCH worse today. but thanks.
(Rating: 5) Thanks. I'm pretty bad (coordination) with both an electric razor and a regular one. That's why it takes so long and my face burns. I'll try the conditioner.

(Rating: 5) I, personally don't see anything wrong with it. But i've heard of stories where pool lifeguards have asked pregnant women to wear a shirt while they were there. I was just wondering if there was some sort of rule about it or something. Thanks though =]
(Rating: 5) thanks, you were not rude. Its the truth and I need to just do it. I am not looking forward to worrying about him constantly though. And I did put him up on craigslist for a month but no one was interested
(Rating: 5) Thanks, very helpful :], and it turns out the other two places called today.

(Rating: 5) thank you so much. when we went to therapy, i never mentioned the control issues yet, and i definately will! thank you for letting me know that i DO have a valid point and that im not just being rediculous and, like him, controlling. thanks again.
(Rating: 5) I did confront him and he ignored me, then played it off like he never had it, but I am 100% sure he gave it to me because he was the only one I was sexually active with. Anyways, thank you for your answer!
(Rating: 5) =) thanks
(Rating: 5) Thanks. I was just giving him the benefit of the doubt.
(Rating: 5) thanks, I will check it out, I am a mom:)
