I don't care for the horizontal striped ones at all, but these are quite sexy.

I see what you're saying, and I am kind of the same way (if I've only been dating someone a couple months I rarely call them more than 3 times a week) but if the other person called you (the generic you, not you specifically), it's very rude not to return their call within a reasonable amount of time. Stuff happens sometimes, and we can't get to the phone, but if a guy made a habit of taking more than a day to return my calls, I'd lose him. I totally agree on the confidence, though.

If there's no emergency and you don't have plans together, then I think within 24 hours is a reasonable amount of time to return a call from someone you're "kind of " dating, or just started dating; maybe 48 if you call the person at a time when you know they have a lot going on, but definitely not longer than that. When I was dating, if a guy took longer than that, I'd blow him off for a while, and make him wonder if I was still interested in him. One of three things would happen. 1) He would call me back with some excuse (real or lame) why he couldn't have called me sooner, and depending on whether or not his excuse seemed valid I'd give him another chance. 2) He would call me back after several days asking why he hadn't heard from me, and I had to decide whether he was playing games or just clueless about women, and whether I wanted to deal with that. 3) He'd never call me back, and I figured he wasn't that interested and it was his loss. Almost all of them called back, though. Most guys will get insecure and wonder if you're not into them if you suddenly become unavailable.

My limit is 4 years younger or 6 years older than myself. I wouldn't seriously date someone if there was a bigger age difference than that, and I'd prefer someone as close to my own age as possible. That said I've never actually dated anyone where there was less than a 3 year age difference. As far as others are concerned, it's really not my business whom they chose to date. As others have said, the older one gets, the less substantial the age difference seems. I will say from a personal standpoint, however, that relationships where there's more than a 12-13 year age difference really creep me out, as one is old enough to be the parent of the other.

Hey, at least they're walking... I don't think it makes a big difference. A lot of older high school students have cars, so if they couldn't walk to fast food places, most likely, they could drive to them. A lot of Cafeteria food is not the healthiest thing in the world, either, or at least it wasn't when I was in school. I agree with others who said more needs to be done to educate children and teens about what is and isn't healthy. When I was a kid I was told over and over that McDonalds' and the like were bad for me, but I was never told why, or what might happen if I ate too much of it. We need to do more in health class than just say "French fries are bad and salad is good," or "Running is good and watching TV is bad," which was about the extent of what I remember being taught in school on the subject.

So tired...

I feel like not being able to go back to sleep sucks.

I don't even know any more. I'm not going to get it anyway, so who cares, right?

Happy belated birthday!

A little bit agitated with someone right now, but for the most part, enjoying a rare moment of quiet and having my living room all to myself while the bf catches up on his sleep.

I think the boobscarf would be rather redundant on me, and a lot of the women on this board. And at the peter heater.

After having watched the video, I would probably have changed the channel within the first minute. Not because of the song, or because of the "gay" element, but because the performance was more about blatantly pushing the envelope than it was about the music, which should be the point of this type of music awards show. The overt sexual theme of it turned me off, and I knew what was coming. I imagine not knowing that the performance would turn into that would be quite appalling for the more conservative half of America. It would have been acceptable for the MTV VMAs, which is mostly about gimmicks anyway, but not for prime time. What I find more annoying is that most of the performance was obviously pre-recorded and lip synced. I especially like how the singing and keyboard playing doesn't stop during the kiss, even though both artists mouths and hands are occupied. Now that's talent!

We had a good time. Thanks to B and E for hosting!

I agree. Clear shoes don't breathe, and they show when you get sweat or dirt on your feet. Not hot. Also, no matter what they cost, clear shoes/boots always look really cheaply made to me.

Hugs and positive thoughts to you and your kitty. There's nothing wrong with admitting that you're human sometimes. We've all been there.

I personally don't care because 1) I am an adult, and 2) I don't watch that crap anyway. However, given that it was a family oriented show on prime time television, I think kissing (either gender) is fine, simulating oral sex (with either gender) is not appropriate.

The fall collection would be perfect if you could cut off their heads. Beautiful clothes, hideous make-up and "hats." I like all of the silver and blue in the spring collection. I get tired of everything being black.

I don't understand...If this woman was 22 years old and didn't want to raise a child or bring it home to her family, why didn't she just have an abortion? Whether you agree with abortion or not, it's more humane than dumping a baby in a bag in a dumpster. This is the kind of thing scared, pregnant 13 year olds do, not grown women.

Happy birthday, pretty lady!

Cranky...meh...

I'm so glad the weekend is here...

Does anyone else hate those open-toed high-heeld booties? I'm not a fan of booties, anyway, but those are just ridiculous, for any climate. They look the illegitimate child of boots and sandals. *edited because the other picture I had wasn't working.

I am more opinionated today than usual. The "Are you single?" thread makes me soooo glad that I am in a long term relationship. We may have our squabbles, but it's still low drama. I need to get up and actually do some things with myself today.

Life would be better if we all eliminated the word "slut" from our vocabulary. Bottom line: sounds like he does want to use you. If you know that up front, it doesn't bother you, and you want to keep it casual, use him back. Just be careful about forming any type of emotional attachments to this guy, because he sounds like a player who would not make a good boyfriend. Also, as someone else already said, make sure he knows that you don't want to have sex. Personally I would steer clear of this guy, but you have to figure out what you want from him, if anything.

I have a couple of LA Splash liquid eyeliners. The color combos are awesome, but I have to say, they don't go on or stay on as well as my Urban Decay liquid liners.
