    yeah.... forget him. I usually like being walked home also, unless it's a blind date. Then, no. On the second date, maybe. He's a cheapskate. and needs etiquette lessons

    I don't think you should say anything or have your friend say anything. I always offer to pay my share on the first few dates, but most men say, "no no, I'll get it" just as they should After all, if he asked you, he should pay. Especially a $4 meal. But whatever, I don't mind going dutch that much. But I did one time have a 2nd date with a guy and we had separate tabs. When mine came, he literally *jumped back* from it like it was a spider! geeezzzzz..... Anyways, it doesn't seem like you two are really compatible. You should never expect the man to pay. Usually, I just start "reaching" for my purse, and they will stop me. Even the most broke college students will do this. But, if you're looking for an old-fashioned man who will wine and dine you, (or at least take you to McDonald's without asking for $3.54), then this ain't your man. NEXT!

    I think it's really important to, before you get married, to really discuss your shared values. do you want kids? how many? what religion will you bring them up as? will you two go to church? how will you deal with in-laws? what about money problems? how will division of labor be set up? a lot of un-sexy things to talk about here.... basically, do you two have shared values and if and when you come accross some bumps, how will you two resolve your conflicts? Not that I'm married, but if I do meet Mr. right one day, these are questions that I'm going to want answers to...... good luck!

    When I used to teach high school, one of my very very best students was a single mother - at 15. She was a much better student than all the other kids who had "normal lives." I think it just motivated her all the more to work hard and study hard. She was a straight A student. Now, her family did provide a lot of support for her. Her dream is to be a doctor. I have no doubt that she'll accomplish it. I know if you work hard, and you can find some family or friends to support you, you'll be just fine. Talk to your school, see what kinds of resources they have for teenage moms.

    No soft cheeses (ie, cream cheese) because Listeria monocytogenes grows in it in the refrigerator. It doesn't bother normal healthy people, but it is one of the few bacteria that can cross the placenta and harm your baby. Deli meats - you may want to microwave them before you make a sandwhich. Here's a website with some info.... link removed

    ewwww..... Yes, if you don't have feelings for him (and I hope you don't!) just let him know that you care for him like a brother, and nothing else. Oh yeah, and from now on, don't walk around the house half-naked, and keep your bedroom door closed! PS - Happy birthday! What a crappy way to start your day!!!!

    In all honestly, the people at the front desk run the show. Maybe you can bring them a box of chocolates and see if they have any knowledge on the location of your file. It may just have gotten lost during the transfer. Oh well. My hospital once lost all of my records from birth to age 18, so my file starts at 18 up. Whatever, it happens. I went to my school district which had a copy of my medical records, I requested them. I had graduated and turned 18, but they refused to give them to me saying it wasn't my business!!!! I guess you have to decide how much trouble it's worth to you. And, I don't mean to belittle your cause, but I bet these office workers have some pressing deadlines and enrollment issues that they need to get to before they figure out where your childhood photographs are. I'm sorry to say it that way, if it sounds harsh, but I'm just looking at it through the officer workers' point of view. I just started fresh with my medical records, got a whole bunch of vaccines, and that's the end of that.

    Don't forget - the other way false positives can happen is if the lab techs switch samples on accident. Anyways, you may want to get another one in a few weeks, maybe at a different doctor's office (different lab equipment, different workers). But, yes, it seems likely that you may be pregnant, so I guess it's time to figure out what you want to do. I'm sorry that you have to deal with such serious issues so young. Good luck in your decision. We are here if you need support. -Annie

    hmmm... I'm not one for really volunteering my phone number. Next time you see him, say hi, BIG smile, chat, and then be like, "I love your shirt!!! Where did you get it? I'd like to get one for my dad or brother!" (Meanwhile, you are touching the shirt on his shoulders and arms ) After that, I'd be surprised if he didn't beg for your number right then and there!

    In the words of Savage Dan, my fav sex advise columnist, "DTMFA!" Which stands for "Dump the MF already!"

    Hey - remember - you're not C's gf! You're just buddies who like to kiss. And besides, you're moving soon, you have bigger and better things waiting for you in DC. If C is busy, don't get mad. He's not bf material anyway. Just have fun with him in the meantime, and don't get upset if he has other stuff to do. Otherwise you are really sounding like you're doing a lot better!
  12. annie24
    Yeah, I'm the same way - I screen my calls. I only talk to someone if I'm in the mood to talk to them. Nothing wrong with that. Pick up J's calls when you're good and ready to talk to him

    I'm still wondering - when you went in person to the office, what exactly did they say to you? Did they tell you they didn't have it, or did they say they would send it? Did they tell you you needed to go to a different office? You really have to be nice to these office people. Think about it - they have a million "more important" things to do than for them to find your file (which is probably in some basement somewhere). They have enrollment issues, admin stuff, teaching schedules, book orders, blah blah blah whatever going on, and I'm sure at the very bottom of their "to do" list is to mail you this file. Now, I'm not certain, but probably, everytime you've called, you've probably gotten a different person on the phone, and maybe one person left the note for someone else to do, but it probably got lost under some more pressing deadlines they have. Like Avman said, go to the superiors, and bring up that your communications have not been responded to. That tends to take care of most things quickly. good luck

    Well, call again. Try a letter. Talk to a real person on the phone. If you send an e-mail, try saying something like, "Hello - My name is xxxxx and I attended this school from xxxx to xxxxx. I have very fond memories of my times here, and I would like to request that my portfolio be sent to me. I have contacted this office on several occasions, but have not received a response. I would greatly appreciate the portfolio be sent to me." What did they tell you when you showed up in person?
  15. annie24
    Honestly, I wouldn't send it. They're just going to laugh at it. And you're not going to see your portfolio ever. Ever heard the statement, "a teaspoon of honey will attract more flies than a gallon of vinegar?" yup. Send them polite letters, faxes, requesting your portfolio. You can mention the dates you called previously. Or, you can call, and be polite. Or, even show up in person. I honestly think if you send this abrasive e-mail, they'll just think that you're a *beep* and they'll delete it. Then, you'll never see your portfolio again!

    It's ok. Forgive yourself. You were alright before you met him, and you'll be fine afterwards. You cried, whatever, it's ok. Just forgive yourself. You said you did NC before and you healed fine. Just do it again. Yes, you do sound like a very strong woman, I think one day, you'll meet a man who will appreciate you. It's ok! Chin up! Just take care of yourself right now. You'll be just fine!

    It is funny - I know of another poster on here who several months ago, her bf of 2 years broke up with her. She really really wanted him back, and after being apart for 5 weeks, they got back together! But now, she really isn't all that happy with him, and she is looking forward to moving and starting a new university program, and not being with him anymore.

    You go to the doctor ASAP tomorrow morning! And you call work, tell them you got hurt, see if someone else can fill in for you....
  19. annie24
    I don't know why J did it, but I think my ex did it because he was insecure and depressed, and I think critisizing me made him feel better about himself.
  20. annie24
    Woohoo!!!! You are seeing the light! I'm glad you've finally taken him down from the pedastal. Yeah, I think all those things he said were pretty "jerky!" I mean, think about it. If you were going over to a stranger's house for dinner, you would never think of critisizing their food! So why would you treat your gf worse than you would a stranger?
  21. annie24
    I wouldn't tell him anything. I would SHOW him. I think you need to "retrain" him. He's gotten lazy. Don't go over at the drop of a hat! Have your own life, your own plans. If he says, "what are you doing tonight?" Tell him you already have plans with another friend. If he wants to see you, he should drive over to your place. If you are always going over to his place, it's like you're the "delivery girl" or whatever. See, I think this situation is a lot of your own fault also. You need to put your foot down. Don't nag him or yell at him or whatever. Honestly, I think whenever you try to talk about these kinds of "relationship issues," most men just kind of .... tune out. Show him instead! Just say sweetly, "Oh, sorry, I already made plans with Jen for tonight!" Honestly, I think if you stay on this path, he will totally take you for granted, because you will have become an uninteresting person. There's a good book out there, "Why men love b*****s." It's not about being a *beep*, but it's about holding your own, and being your own person. You shouldn't feel like you have to reorganize your life around his!
  22. annie24
    Blah! He'd critisize you for not folding his shirts just right? What a jerk! If I were you, I would have said, "Ok then, if I don't do it right, do it yourself!!!" Really, it's in that book, "Why men love B*****s." Don't take that kind of crap from him. You're the gf, not the maidservant!!! Ok - J is starting to sound like a jerk. I had an ex that would do that to me also. I would cook, but he would complain that my food was too "ethnic." I stopped cooking for him. Yes, it is a form of abuse. I like the response in the book one woman gave when her date critisized her nail polish color: "The suggestion department is closed for the night. But, if you fax your comments in the morning, we will promptly file them in the in box." And she pointed to the trash can. Gradle - that's what you're going to say if a man ever says to you again that you're not doing something right!!!
  23. annie24
    umm... yeah! What guy wouldn't love this setup? Fooling around, no strings attached - he is more than happy to oblige and help you get over J! Enjoy it!!!! Don't feel bad, don't feel like you owe him anything! He is getting the pleasure of your company! BTW: Gradle - did you know that you have the 2nd most responses ever to a topic on eNotalone? #1 is this one: link removed hehehe - we'll surpass it one day!
  24. annie24
    yeah, something cold. Keep your leg elevated. Don't walk on it either. Do you have any crutches around the house? Use those. Take some aspirin. And have your parents take you to the doctor!

    link removed Here is a link to a slide-show that explores the history of the vibrator. I learned that they've been around since the 1880s and were first introduced as a medical treatment for women who had "hysteria". Check it out - the article is interesting! CAUTION: A few explicit images!
