Comment on Mac Vs. Windows by Virginia Shanahan

Preach it!

I too have a Mac Mini. I am actually on my second one.

I converted myself- and daughter, to Mac 5 years ago and have never looked back. Along with all the great things you mentioned, there is also the ease of use, no need for maintenance, such as defragging ,etc.

I LOVE Apple.

The way I see it…if he doesn’t want to marry me then I have my answer and I am prepared for the conesquence of this relationship ending. If he doesn’t truely love me like I love him (on the same level) then why would I want to be with a man who doesn’t feel the same as me??

I’m sorry to hear about the difficult time you’re having right now in your relationship *hugs*

There are a couple of things you need to keep in mind about ultimatums: They rarely go the way you want them to and if they don’t (as is often the case) you need to be prepared to carry out the consequences. If you don’t, you’ll have a hard time getting people to take you seriously in the future.

About the only thing you can do right now is to walk away, which is what you said you would do if he didn’t get engaged to you. To offer compromises lets him know you weren’t serious to begin with. By your actions, you’re saying that it’s okay with you if the two of you don’t get married. If that isn’t the case, then your actions need to back up your words.

If you really don’t want to leave him, then you should remember in the future that you shouldn’t make an ultimatum if you aren’t prepared to accept all of the possible outcomes.

I sincerely hope and pray that things work out for the best between the two of you. *hugs more!*

i live with him so he has the milk for free. Why buy the cow? He says he wants to get married but he’s not ready, so he bought me a PROMISE ring (a 2K promise ring) that says that he PROMISES to marry me. HELLO, is that not what an engagement ring is!??! I dont think its fair for me to sit around and wait for him to be ready when i dont know if he ever will be. My clock is ticking and i am NOT wasting my life i KNOW hthere is a man out there who would kill to marry me.

There could be many reasons for his waiting, both good and bad. Some guys like to be more financially stable before getting married. Some guys don’t want to feel tied down either and the idea of being married may scare him. Maybe he feels like you will want kids right away and the way he stops you from having any children is by not getting married? He may need to do some growing up or he may want you to be surprised. If you stop asking he may do it sooner than if you keep nagging. Some guys don’t like feeling pushed into things. It’s like when you are walking a dog and suddenly the dog stops and wants to go the other way. The more you pull at the collar the more he tugs and tries to get out of the leash.
I have a friend who’s boyfriend did the same thing but she stuck with him and finally after being together for about five years they finally got married this year.
Weigh the good with the bad. Are you already living with him? If yes then maybe you should move out and just be a girlfriend instead of a live in girlfriend who feels like the housewife. Does he gain anything from being married? You said you want a diamond, that would be your gain so maybe he feels like that’s all you want to get married for?
Girls have a hard time figuring out men while men have a hard time figuring out woman. I’ve been married for almost four years, together for five and I still can’t figure out my husband at times.
I don’t know either of you though so this is obviously all speculation. Good luck to you! Do what you feel is best for you. Follow your heart.

Comment on Why I love Carbs by Virginia Shanahan

I love carbs also, but my cardiologist has warned me off of carbs and starches.

As you age your metabolism slows and the carbs are stored as fat. Because you are not burning energy at the same rate as when you were young the waistline begins to expand.

As for eating, technically you should be eating small meals every 2 to 3 hours, as opposed to 3 large meals per day.

Great post. I enjoyed it.

Comment on Kids being interrogated… by kithlyara

From what I’ve read, the confession and any information gained during the questioning will be inadmissible in court.

Even if the police read the boy his Miranda Rights, I don’t think the arrest would stick without a parent or guardian being present. Part or the Miranda Rights involves the ability to understand those rights. I think it could be easily argued that an 8 year old is too young to understand that he doesn’t have to talk to the police if he doesn’t want to and he can call a lawyer anytime he wished. Especially since it appears the female investigator was using the fact that he is a child and she’s an almost “mom” like authority figure.

Sadly, all of this is irrelevant. It doesn’t matter if this information is allowed in court or not by the judge. It’s in the news now. Prospective jury members have already heard it. They can be told to disregard it come trial time but chances are, it’ll have some effect anyway. I would honestly be surprised if this has a negative effect on the boy, though. I think a lot of people are outraged at the treatment he’s received at the hands of the police so far.
