I really do think that you need to stop all the worry. Will he ever change you ask? The answer to that is more than likely no he won't. Let him be him. The more you try and cage him, the more he will want to escape you. The main thing that you need to focus on right now though is Y.O.U. You are the one he comes home to. You are the one that he really loves even though he may not completely realize this. You need to stop playing Lt. Columbo, stop wasting your energy on being jealous and start

JUST A FRIEND in Software Development JoeUser Forums

Through-out our lives we meet many people. So many different kinds of people too. Different personallities, races, some with hang-ups, some without, some with lots of baggage, some traveling light. Some with smiles, some with frowns, some high on drugs, others just high on life. Happy ones, sad ones, good ones and bad ones. You name it, they all cross our paths at one time or another. Even though many of us are good judges of character, it can be tuff sometimes to pick out the people with

The United States should do no such thing. The United States is flaunting nothing, no-thing!!! What we have and what we have accomplished as a young nation speaks very clearly for itself. We have done exactly what former President Roosevelt instructed us to do years ago when he told us to, "walk softly and carry a big stick." We will continue to carry a big stick and protect our freedom and whatever else is rightfully ours and I don't care who wants to try and come and take it from us the terro

I too am a lover of the rain. I also love the fall season. There is nothing I like any better than digging deep into my wardrobe of cloths that have been stored away for what seems like forever. I enjoy taking out all my warm sweaters and jackets, looking them over and anticipating on wearing them out on a cool and damp fall day. Fall is by far my most favorite time of the year. I love rainy days in the fall and springtime too. There is nothing any better to do than to set out on the front porch

A TOAST TO THE RICH AND POOR ALIKE in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Why is it that so many are so quick to point the fingure at the rich folks? People are always looking for someone to lay blame to. Why are we so quick to condemn and so slow to commend? It is the rich that create jobs for the less fortunate so that they can earn an honest living and have a quality standard of life. It is the few elite who are continually giving their money and their time to help raise money for needy organizations and medical break throughs so that we can enjoy better health and

Reply to The problem with rich people in Politics JoeUser Forums

One Good thing about the rich people is that they create and provide jobs for us not so rich people. The rich must be paying more taxes than us poor folk. Otherwise where did they get that 87 billion congress passed to help to rebuild Iraq? It sure didn't come from me... Well, maybe a buck or two. Who are we to judge the rich folks? Many wealthy people are very giving as far as donating to charities and the giving of their time in helping to raise money for needy causes. I know for a fact that

GENERAL RULES OF BLACKJACK OR 21 Part II in PC Gaming JoeUser Forums

There are many different casinos and with each one comes with different rules for different games. Generally the rules for Blackjack (BJ) are the same but just vary slightly from place to place. However all you need to do is be aware of the different rules at various tables and adjust your play to them accordingly which isn't all that hard to do. At any given BJ table there are about seven spots for seven different people to set at and play. Somethimes every spot will be full. Sometimes yo

U.S. HOMICIDES RIVAL WAR'S DEATH TOLL in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Though the United States has declared an end to its major assult on the government of Saddam Hussien, loyalists to the old regime have continued to menace the clean- up and rebuilding operations of the coalition. These parasites have suddenly found themselves living worse off than the poor wretched common people of Iraq that they had formerly dominated. Hiding underground, unable to work and secure a way to meet a good living standard for their families, they have reverted to the obstruction of

As has been proven time and time again, it is not easy nor always the best solution to try and bomb a country into submission. This is not new knowledge to us by any means. The terrorists are beginning to realise this as well. By bombing us it is only increasing our will to defeat them. It is only making us stronger, more determined, and united in our quest to overcome them. They will be defeated in the end by whatever means necessary. Todays bombs and guided missiles are much more sophistoc

Thank you for your reply though some of your comments were a bit vague and unclear to me. I think I did understand the last part though and they seem to be the two general questions that are always asked. As for the forces... I am assuming it will be the USA, Great Brittin, and Australia since it seems that these three are the only ones who have the guts to enforce international law and stand up for what is right. As for the money... Seems I do recall something about a little package deal being

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that terrorist attacks are taking place just about everywhere these days. Everywhere except for Iran that is. Bombs are going off in just about any place imaginable and people are being wounded and killed by the scores. Yet Iran seems to be an oasis of peace and tranquilness. While bombs are going off all around them, Iran whistles a happy tune. Just like a mass murderer on trial and proclaiming his innocence. Iran is trying to put on a face of purity an

Reply to Jessica Lynch vs Shoshana Johnson in Current Events JoeUser Forums

When I first heard of our service men and women who were reported as captured and missing. My heart went out equally to them all. I prayed and asked God to keep his hand on each and every one of them without the slightest thought of their color sex, or if they were from the north, south, east, or west. The news media is always looking for someone to make a hero. Maybe it is the news media that we should all be saying a prayer for.

What a ceremonious welcome it was for the Commander in Chief and the First Lady's stately visit to London. Queen Elizabeth II really went all out for the occasion. There were cannons firing away a salute when the first couple rolled up in the armored car. Buckingham Palace was trimmed in red white and blue and adorned with the Presidential seal. The honor guard were dressed in their finest lavishly colored uniforms. There were marching horses with calvery men riding on them, looking almost like

Reply to The movie-going experience in Movies & TV & Books JoeUser Forums

Its not very often that you go to see a movie and have the whole place to yourself. Normally, when you shell out bucks to see a picture, there are many other hidden fringes that you are also paying for. Such as listening to all the munching going on in the background by other movie goers. Or the teen that likes to intentionally draw attention to themself by holding the empty popcorn bucket several feet from the floor before dropping it. Don't forget those restless children that we pay double for
