pourfolkes I think that you hit the nail on the head when you said that your mother did all of these things. Very often, if you want to know what a woman will be like, look at her mother. Now in our world of two income families, daughters and sons, for that matter don't...

pourfolkes I would dump this guy so fast, his head would spin! He sounds like he has an abusive, controlling personality. You may not think you can love again, but believe me, you can and you will. There are lots of people out there who would appreciate you for what you...

pourfolkes I don't think anyone should be able to work here unless they are a citizen. I think you should have to be a citizen to own property as well. Our country is being taken over. I think if you are going to earn a living here, you should be required to be a citizen...

How many chances do you give someone?

rosie_123 @rosie_123 (6113) 11 Feb 07

Reading through a lot of posts here on MyLot, - one thing really strikes me. There seem to be so many women out there who are unhappy, and in unfulfilling marriages or relationships, and yet they still stay with their spouse. Now...

pourfolkes You have to keep in mind that there is alot more to it than just feelings. There is a whole psychological issue as well. Many women who are abused feel worthless, scared. etc. I know, cuz I went through it. If it is physical abuse, there is also horrible fear...

pourfolkes I have used both Tax Cut and Turbo Tax. Both of them are really easy and pretty much guide you through the whole process, especially if you don't have alot of really complicated issues. I would recommend it!

pourfolkes See, I would have confronted him for 2 reasons... One, to let him know that I know and two then the other girl knows that he is a cheater. So many people would blame it on the other person when they may be being sucked in as well. Now I would not be ugly, and...

Do you Believe in Love at First Sight?

davaoguy @davaoguy (319) • United States 9 Feb 07

Since it's nearly Valentine's day and I have no date, I guess I'll just start a topic about love. I think love at first sight is just best seen in movies. I think in real-life it's more of infatuation that people think is love...
