Some people are like "slinkys". They are really not good for anything. But they do bring a SMILE when you push them down a flight of stairs! This made me laugh out loud. Think I'll tape it to my forehead and go to work tonight. Dare anyone to come up in my tower, haha! G

You know, my whole life I always wanted everyone to like me. It hurt my feelings, too, if someone just didn't like me. I'd go out of my way, too. I spent many hours crying because someone didn't like me. Now that I've lost 1/2 of me? I just don't care. F*** 'em and feed 'em fishheads as my husband says. I just don't bow down anymore. Sometimes it still stings a little, but I just don't find them worth my time and effort anymore. Maybe I've become somewhat of a b****, but now I'm living for me, not everyone else. Ummm, as to wasting your money on this a$$hole. That's just it. He's an a$$hole. Quit trying - he'll never be worth your time or your money. No matter how hard you try, you can't win everyone over and there are plenty of ******** out there. You'll go broke trying to buy them off. And remember, they are not your friends if you have to buy them things to gain their favor. Just my humble 2 cents worth. Hell, it's probably not even worth that G

Ok ladies......honesty here. How important is it to you that people LIKE you? I know we are a diverse group and I look forward to the answers. In nearly 5 months in my new office, out of 25 people, there is ONE person that just DOES NOT LIKE ME.....and I find myself going out of my way to try to MAKE him like me. My logical mind tells me, "kim, get over it. He's one a$$hole out of 25." But then I find myself taking extra steps in a day to speak to him or ask if I can buy him a coke/coffee/whatever. I was thinking about this today and I've been that way my whole life. Even as a child, it would hurt my feelings if someone didn't like me. As a teenager/young adult, I never did anything really BAD for fear of my parents/teachers getting mad at me or not liking me anymore. At 33, I DO stand up for myself more than I ever have in life.......but I still have this weird NEED to be liked by everybody Any thoughts? Kim

I miss you too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wish you and Dixie would come back to visit.

I seem to get into the routine of cooking the same things week after week. I'm a good cook but usually do my more 'creative cooking' on the weekends due to long work/commute hours during the week. So tonight, I am making hot roast beef sandwiches (mine without the bread ) and maybe a side salad. What are you cooking? Hope everyone has had a great Monday Love ya'll Kim
