I am feeling a strong urge to procrastinate, even though I know I need to fix my resume and pass it on to my friend, so she can have her husband submit it to a friend who is hiring.

Discouraged...

Agreed. A gift doesn't have to cost a lot of money, especially if you know the person well. Good point.

I almost never watch TV, and on the rare occasions that I do, the commercials tend to annoy the hell out of me. I think this would be great for a one time airing during the super bowl, but would be incredibly annoying if it were played on a regular basis.

Having to get up early.

Personally, my feeling is that as long as he is respectful of the fact that I am friends with certain people I don't care if my fiance gets along with them, other than not to start drama with them if all three of us happen to show up at the same public place. My fiance and I have very different interests in a lot of ways, so often I think he ends up feeling like he doesn't have much in common with my friends, and I feel like I don't have much in common with his. I like most of his friends well enough, I just don't always feel entirely comfortable around them, or know what to talk to them about. My fiance has one friend, though, who I don't get along with at all and don't want to be around at all. I avoid him. I think it really bothers my fiance, and sometimes I really wish he'd just let it go and not push me. I have a reason for feeling the way I do. I have a couple of friends who he doesn't want to be around, and I can accept that. I know why they don't get along, and wouldn't push them to try to hang out together. I just wondered if anyone had any advice or anything on how to deal with that.

How important do you think it is that your significant likes your friends and you like theirs?

For the definition that was given, I still think integrity is the correct term. In my case that means I honor what I believe is ethically correct: not killing, harming, or endangering another human or an animal, not cheating or stealing, not lying, keeping my word when I make an agreement, and trying to treat all people as fairly as possible. Other individuals, families, cultures, and religious groups may have different views on what is ethically correct. When I looked at this thread, I assumed that it was going to be about "honor" meaning respect or reverence of someone or something (one's family, one's country, one's god(s), the law, etc.). There are a number of people and things that I respect, but it's because they have earned my respect. I don't respect things simply out of obligation or expectation, though I may abide by them. For example, when I was in school there were some teachers that I respected, and some whose rules I'd simply abide by because I was sitting in their class. I wouldn't say I honored that second group of teachers, I just accepted the fact the they technically had authority over me while I was in their class. I feel the same way about laws. Some laws I agree with and respect, while others I just abide by because I don't want to go to jail or pay a fine, but I may not personally agree with them. In that sense I don't think it's a good thing to just blindly honor someone or something.

I guess "unsettled" would be the best word for it...I can't really say that I'm mad or upset, but something is definitely bothering me.

Quite possibly. We will likely end up at the Dirty Show at some point that weekend, but we'd like to try to make this.

Oh good grief! It really is the blind leading the blind...

There are 24 different definitions of honor when I look it up, so, yeah, I agree with Phee, it's a pretty abstract term at best. Gaf-as for your definition, I, myself, would define that as personal integrity, rather than personal honor. I value personal integrity, as do, I believe, many young people today, but again, what's fair and just varies from one person's opinion to the next.

A noticeable absence of a "consoling" person in my life. My mom was always the best for that.

Lonely... A little worried about a friend... Not happy with the direction my life is going in right at this minute, but not sure how to change it.

Suddenly, like I can't keep my eyes open. At 8 pm on a Saturday night. I suck! *goes off to fall asleep on the couch watching reruns.

More evidence that there needs to be a test people should have to pass before becoming parents. Another idiot.

WTF??? What an idiot, to say nothing of her non-existent parenting skills! She was probably jealous that the hamster was more evolved than she is.

I was so tired last night when I read through this that I didn't even notice that. There's nothing like speaking well to get your inane point across.

I agree that the best thing is to step back first and sort out your own feelings. I don't know what happened between you and your best friend, but maybe you'll be able to talk it out with her after you calm down and have had a little time to process what happened between you and your boyfriend. If it were me, I would at least give her a chance to explain herself at some point. As far as the guy is concerned, well, there's no way to "make" someone not have feelings for their ex. You have to let him do what he want to do. Maybe he'll realize that it didn't work and that's why they broke up in the first place and he was happier with you, maybe not. Don't sit around waiting for him, do what you need to do to heal, and maybe just be single for a while.

Um...wow. What's this guy been smoking?

Morbid finally has a driver's license.

There's nothing wrong with someone wanting casual sex, or a one on one relationship, as long as the person is up front about it. It is selfish, to a degree, but you could argue that anything someone wants out of a relationship (whether it's someone to love them unconditionally, someone to take care of them, someone to help raise their children...) is selfish. The problem is when someone is looking for the things you described and is not up front about it. Then the problem isn't about dating someone with or without kids, it's about dating someone deceitful.

This one is horrible, and I seem to hear it all of the time lately. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ti7DLo8pW3A Also, anything by Taylor Swift. I know her target audience is 13-17 year old girls, but I feel like I lose 10 IQ points every time I hear one of her songs.

Missing my mom terribly today for no specific reason that I can think of. Lonely, and yet like I want to be left alone at the same time. Annoyed that I can feel a zit about to erupt on my face, and I can't seem to make the swelling go away. Extremely tired all of a sudden.
