Back to random thoughts - if I'm 30, have a husband, house, good stable job, $ in the bank, etc. - shouldn't I want to have a kid yet?

Still no desire.

Also - I hate when people (at work) are condescending & just downright rude to other people who don't have the same educational background as they do. It doesn't ever involve me, but I see it a lot with a particular person & it bugs me.

Nope - you shouldn't want to have a kid - again - societal pressure - My sister has one - and she's getting all these "when are you having another?" ugh - she gets so annoyed - like she's got one and is now expected to have another?

I know one guy with 6 kids

Blah - I say enjoy the independence and such of being kid-less - if the desire to have one hits you great - if not - then great!

NO. Why do you think I love you so much??? Enjoy your marriage and your disposable income and your time. Wait at least till you get your house fixed. Marriage w/out kids is very underrated, I think. Wait till you and your husband are so bored with each other you can't see straight. Then have kids.

Wait till you've gone on fabulous, exotic, romantic vacations together. etc.

DER!!!

I just made an appt. with an acupuncturist for next monday to start quitting smoking. The initial visit is $95, which is really, really expensive to me. But I kind of still think it's a good idea. Subsequent visits will either be $68 or $25, the cheaper ones are if you just need the ear treatments. They do a whole big workup on you, though, and may prescribe herbs as well. Also, if you can afford the full body ones, they help hasten the process of your body getting rid of toxins, and of course can help a whole host of other problems you may have. It's all specialized, of course, because they can't tell exactly what your body needs until you go there.
Anyway, I'm pretty excited, but also I really can't afford it. But still.

Just remember that it will be cheaper than smoking for the next few months! Good luck with this, Amber.

Yeah...thanks suze. I'm nervous, though, You know how if you are in the right state of mind, everything works better, so I'm going to concentrate on that this week. But, i've been studying alternative health for quite some time, and I have no nervousness about it's effectiveness, which is good. Ha, I only wish I could simultaneously afford hypnosis. I'm interested to see how it affects my health otherwise, too. I've read it can do a ton of good in a lot of ways.

DrummerDeanna · #**371** 07-11-2005, 05:14 PM

Good luck, Amber - and I agree with Suze - it seems way expensive - but if you add up all the money you'd spend on ciggarettes in the coming weeks/months - it'll be cheaper

AND it'll be cheaper than all the health care you'll need in the future due to problems caused by smokin

Good luck, Amber. Just as long as they leave your Bun alone.

Thank you - yeah, of course that's true, I'm not disputing that, it's just to have the money in the first place, you know? But, it will work out. Thank you.

Has anyone on here ever gotten acupuncture? I'd be suprised if no one has.

Yeah - I guess having a lump sum of money is different than spending $95 over time.

And - I have never had acupuncture.

You know what. A former co-worker went to go work for a hospital here in RI. She was an office worker. She said that quite a few of the nurses gave her and a few other office co-workers some attitude and would say things like "oh her? oh she is just a secretary" So she left there and it going to make $10,000.00 a year more at her new non- health care related job.

I am not saying that nurses are all like that but she was pretty shocked at their attitude.
