I do a lot of shopping online, particularly to buy music and movies. Buying music online is pretty much the only option for me because of the artists I listen to. I'll never find a Walter Egan or Billy Burnette cd in any of the shops around here.

For credit card bills, however, I write checks. Whenever I get a statement, I'll write the check immediately and put it in the envelope. Then I write the payment due date on the back of the envelope and keep it until a few days before the date, then send it off. It's just a system that works for me.

Lemme tell you, I feel like ****.

I don't know what posessed me to drink that much, but I spent $80 on I don't know what. Surely to hell I didn't drink it away....

You'll need a second job to pay for your habit

I also do a lot of shopping online. I especially try to do it for people that live out of state because it is so much easier than going to get the gift and then wrapping and going to the post office to ship it, all of which I have to do on foot. I do that when I have the time but sometimes I find a perfect gift online and so would prefer to send that.

I hate being rushed and waiting so online shopping is really great for many things. I do my grocery shopping online through Peapod.

Living in the city they are my savior.

I buy online from the Gap and that works well because there's a store down the street if I need to make a return. I also shop Macy's.com, you can get just about anything there, and bananarepublic.com as well as newport-news.com. The latter has stylish stuff cheap.

I still write checks to pay my bills, except for my credit card because I can easily just transfer the funds since my checking is with the same company.

Take two aspirin, have a little something to eat and drink some pop. It'll help settle your stomach.

Uh.. maybe I should shut up because I'm indeed no doctor and I don't want to put ideas in your head that make no sense.
Hope you're feeling better and that it won't come back.

Maybe that is what it was. It really freaked me out though. It was the middle of the night and I thought I was dying right then and there. I was loking this up last night and it almost sounds like a slight seizure.... I don't know! I'm afraid of doctors so this is not good!

Nope. I don't drink flavored milk. I consider it sacrilegious to put sh*t in an otherwise perfect beverage.

You shouldn't look those things up yourself

I think I know the seizure type you're talking about, and I've talked to people with that on an epilepsy-forum.
But that's not exactly how you described it. I just think it's more likely to have been hyperventilating or maybe an upset stomach or something like that.

Meanwhile, my own random thoughts/postings.. ouch, my legs!! In August I'm going to Scotland on holiday, going to do a lot of walking, so I need to train a little for it... walked for 2 hours today (it's nothing, I know

) and I know now I need to do more of that!!! Geez, I thought I was pretty fit, cycling everyday to work and so on.
Uh.. maybe there's just not much "and so on".

I would've gone with the orange juice.

I have a plastic cup that has water (or something) contained inside so that it can be frozen and keeps your drink really cold without dilluting it. I use it when I drink milk.

'Course, I don't have that problem around here. My dad went shopping and bought ten cases of soda (pepsi, diet pepsi, barq's root beer, and pibb xtra), and about as many cases of bottled water. They were on sale. We already had three cases of soda in the house but we apparently needed ten more.

I have to agree with Tuigirl also that it is much more lonely in a crappy relationship than to be alone. You have worked very hard to get this far--take care of yourself

Thanks.

I'm 50/50 whether to go back or not. All the points you make are really good, but there's something else to consider. A really nice guy might not want to get involved with me. If he's nice and I have a past..

My bf is definitely not perfect, but he is the only one that knows everything about me and everything I've done and still wants me. I'm not sure the really nice variety of guy would. I will take care of myself, though. I have worked really hard to clean up and get my **** together for the first time in my life, so I don't want to be tempted to go back.

I'm sorry you're in a bad situation.

If it's not too personal for me to ask, are you going to try to get out of the bad marriage? I hope you can.

LMAO.

I had a little too much tequila last night myself. My buddy and I went out to place near my house, and had 0h, I don't know....6 or 7 rounds. Thank God for vitamins and aspirin. A fistful of those and two glasses of water before bed and I feel pretty zippy today.

don't sell yourself short---there are good guys out there that will like you for you--they are not exactly always easy to find--but they are there.
Even though hubby is a jerk-I am not a guy basher--all are NOT alike.It has been an enlightening year for me--turned 40 in December and have decided I will not be spending the next 40 years in this manner.

I finally figured out it wasn't me that was the problem--it is HIM. I have stopped blaming myself because life is too precious to keep wasting it on regretting the past. I will keep good thoughts for you
