So I guess the take-away from it all is edit your post to say something like "BAHAHAHAHAH! NOW YOU MODS CAN'T READ THIS!" and then delete it

Just found out that a guy I was "talking to" has a wife, girlfriend AND multiple "mistresses" and he's only 23. This makes me want to be single forever.

(or date older men forever since the younger ones always suck)

Older guys can be just as shady. A couple of years back, my lifelong best friend told me it had surfaced that her Dad had been cheating on her Mother for a decade. It was the most shocking thing imaginable. This man was a Catholic Deacon who was constantly involved in the community. He was a successful and very family oriented businessman. He lived 2 doors down from me for most of my childhood. It turns out not only was he cheating on his drop dead gorgeous wife (who was also wholly dedicated to him, and very intelligent and hugely involved in the community herself), he was living a double life. He provided his mistress with her own apartment, he had separate bank accounts to pay for their life together, etc. Apparently his weekly overnight "business trips" were actually spent with his out of town mistress. This isn't just some dumb, horny, young guy either... he's in his mid 50s. Young men who are dogs turn into older men who are dogs.

My Stepfather's Dad did the same thing. He left his wife when they were in their 50s to shack up with some sleazy waitress for a few years. I have no idea why his wife took him back. Once a sleazeball always a sleazeball.

Yes, I know that older men can be just as sleazy, if not even sleazier... there are countless examples of that. I mean, the guy who completely ****ed me over a few months ago was 38. I'm just justifying

I called in work sick today because I've got myself over worked and majorly stressed out over my exams. So much so that my hair started to fall out, I can't sleep and I have a constant headache. I'd not had a day off for maybe 3 weeks or so. So my mum took me shopping to help me relax and I got a Doctor Who calendar on clearance and a mini lego X-Wing fighter

You know you've found a good moderator for your discussion forum when....
They insult the participants and then slink off into another thread with their
tail between their legs issuing knee-jerk defensiveness rather than apologizing
for their error.

You seem extremely level headed, though... I think you'd make a fantastic mod!

When I was an Admin for another forum I was treated the exact same way. I was expected to be some kind of Oracle who did nought but agree with everybody and please everybody. Buddha forfend if I ever punish somebody for breaking the rules. I lost so many friends on the boards because I didn't take their sides in small and quite petty disputes and punish the people they were arguing with. I once had to permanently ban my supposed "best friend" on the board for a hate campaign she started against a member, the woman even going so far as to threaten to kill herself on the other woman's doorstep (Seriously, wtf?!!). Since then for a long while I had the hate campaign aimed at me personally. Luckily she lost interest, because it turned quite nasty.

I do skip over her/his posts for the most part, but the "ignore question to a mod" thingy and the other day with DWTS........I just got sick to my stomach. Ok I'm exaggerating but u get the picture.

Oh and this is the JTIS thread.......so I shared

Ah lol. I only asked because a post like that after you've posted does tend to make you paranoid

I won't comment on "who it's about", because I don't know the situation so it wouldn't be fair. But yay it's not me

XD

fumidesigns · #**5804** 05-14-2011, 11:53 AM

I figured that's y u asked hun. Lol! Now worries at all

Artemis · #**5805** 05-14-2011, 11:58 AM

JTIS; this picture makes me laugh far more than it should -
