put a lot of thought into them. He has always been that way. He is very caring and considerate. Our daughter is equally caring and thoughtful. I am a very blessed and lucky gal.

Yes, my husband bought a brand new...sm
Chevrolet S-10 in 1998, and it was a lemon. It never ran right. It missed and spit and sputtered after a few thousand miles. We would take it to the dealership and when they would drive it it wouldn't do it. When they hooked it up to the computer it never showed anything wrong. They said if it doesn't do it while hooked to the computer while we are driving it there is no way to know what is wrong with it. This went on and on. The dealership we bought it from wouldn't do anything. We finally contacted General Motors. After haggling with them for months they bought back the truck. We had to pay $2500 difference though out of pocket. It wasn't just the motor either. The light by the tag in the back that shines next to the tag at night fell out. The passenger side mirror fell off. The handle that opened the third door fell off. It had this awful vibration in the dash. It was just constantly something with the truck.
I think you are very thoughtful. -sm
It seems you really do love and care about his feelings, but are honest about your own concerns that things wont work. I have been married for 13 years. My husband is much more social by nature than I am. We deal with it by compromising. I give him the freedom to go out with friends. I have girlfriends too that I have dinner with. As long as you are BOTH secure in your relationship with each other, you should not feel guilty just because you are different as individuals. However, he will need to compromise too and understand that there are times where friends and neighbors might come over for a barbecue... and...gee, that is not asking much from him if he truly loves you. Just talk privately with him. That is what we do. We communicate about everything. You can work out any of this if you love each other enough. Many times opposites attract and find they bring out the best in one another. Sorry if I sound like 'Dear Abby' or something. Anyway, talking about this with him should not have to lead to bickering. Make it clear to him that you want to discuss these things because you love him and want BOTH of you to be happy. It is better to be totally honest with him now about your own feelings... Good luck and best wishes.
Hey, Cranky, that was a really thoughtful post.

You are blessed...
And should feel very fortunate to have wonderful in-laws. Merry Christmas!
you have been blessed!
take care and thanks for sharing!
I too am blessed....
to have a great one. It is not bragging, simply the truth. I married a man, not a boy, and he is respectful, as I am of him.
You are blessed!
Enjoy it! They sure can amaze you, huh? When you least expect it, they can make you feel sooooo incredibly LOVED!!!!
I'm blessed to have two.
There was a time when I didn't think I'd ever trust or be friends with anyone again, but since rekindling a friendship with a woman I knew since I was 20 it's been great. We go walking once a week. So far I keep it to just one day of talking with her so that time we do walk, we chitter chatter about anything and everything under the sun. My other friend's been there for me for almost 15 years. We have our ups and downs, but I think I can confide anything with this friend and vice versa.
You are so very blessed!!
I'm almost speechless. What a wonderful way for things to turn out! Even the hardships, when you share them, can bring you closer together. It sounds like there's a lot of love in your family. Thanks for that uplifting, optimistic post!
i'm so blessed but most people don't know
that i was molested as a child, that i have been held up at gunpoint, i escaped pursuit of a car-full of guys when i was on a bicycle, experienced date rape before there was such a term, had an intruder in the night that even opened my bedroom door when i had a broken pelvis (and i said 'who are you' and he fled)...was the subject of an attempted kidnapping and rape in a hospital parking lot and even a few other things. All this has impacted my life, my emotions, etc, but i am by most standards extremely blessed not only with my life still intact, my basic health, a good husband, happy healthy children, grandchildren, animals etc etc. God can bring us through it all, if we hang on to his hand.
consider yourself blessed - not many speak same
Talk about blessed
Go to myfoxatlanta.com and watch the video of a construction crane collapsing on a woman's car. Miraculously, she was NOT injured...wow!
You are very blessed - I know there are a lot of graet men (sm)
out there. I have many friends whose marriages are great. When my husband complains I bring up one of our friends and say - well you know how Sally's house always looks great? She doesn't work, or she works part-time, and I have seen Joe helping around the house, and don't forget her mother lives in town and can keep the kids when she needs to do things. But it never seems to sink in. I see couples shopping together who look so happy. Sometimes I get in my car and cry because I don't have anything like that at all.
I never do this. But if you want to be beyond blessed this morning, please sm
email me and I will forward you this amazingly adorable thing about DOGS. I am not really a dog person, but after that, I am now! sniff sniff
I would love to share this with everyone. I rec'd it from my aunt this morning. Looking forward to hearing from a lot of you!
This is the email to use:
I'm with you on being lucky and blessed...sm
my husband is retired from the military and we get a very nice retirement check every month from that. He does the laundry and cleaning because he likes doing this and runs the kids to appointments as needed. I don't let him go to the grocery store, though, because every time he goes he goes way over budget by bringing tons of stuff home. He does work 12 hours a week helping in the ASP at a local school just for the heck of it. If we needed him to work full-time he would but we're content with our income and lifestyle, and I love my job so there's no reason to do things differently in our household.
you mentioned how blessed
if you believe in blessings, i would (here goes this word again) "assume" you believe in forgiveness also. i think you should be the bigger one and try to contact your son and make an attempt to straighten things out. at least you will know you tried and then the ball is in his court. :)
Thank you Lord, I am blessed.
Thank you Lord, I am blessed.
"A blessed event" nm
you have been blessed with furry friends!!
I can't imagine life without them. They can really make someone's day. I especially love when I hear about the animals helping people in nursing homes or using them in libraries during children hours. I would love to be part of that. What beauty they bring to this crazy world.
Also blessed. And he's incredibly intelligent, too. nm

Blessed by the Body and Blood

consider yourself blessed/fortunate/lucky sm
went in with the best intentions, tried as hard as I possibly could, 15 yrs and 4 marriage counselors and countless tears later, I am posting the message below
No problem, I hope you are as blessed as we are with our Anthony.
And incredibly mature and smart. You are blessed. nm

That is wonderful! I, too, am very blessed! Merry Christmas! nm

Does your husband or significant other do this? Just now, at 7:30, my husband came home from sm
playing sports with a friend. After showering he comes downstairs naked and tries to start a conversation with me. My "office" is in the living room and he is standing in back of the couch so I can't see any private parts, just him without his shirt, but I can see enough to know he clearly is naked! I think he wants me to be amused or get turned on or something, but I'm not amused one bit. In fact, I keep working and basically ignore him.
Poor guy. I swear he thinks he's Vince Vaughn or something. I should at least smile at him but all I want to tell him is to put some clothes on! ugh!
you should have bought it together.
my husband adn i shop together at the sex shops. i would be angry too if you were trying to hide it.
What GPS was that you bought ? ...sm
I am terrible with getting around. I could get lost easily and the older I get the worse I get with not wanting to drive. I would love a GPS that has the capability of telling you exactly when to turn etc. I have no sense of direction.
Thanks
I just bought something like that, it was about , sm
$14.00. I have 2 cats and they would just play with the mouse, so I thought I'd try something to keep it away.
I just bought it the other day and so far no sight of the mouse. Hope it keeps it away.
I bought one...sm
I just bought one this weekend for my 6yo son. He LOVED it. I made the outside only rule too and so far he has obeyed. It doesn't hurt to get "hit" with one and it seriously provided hours of fun for him.
Just bought my mom...
I just bought my mom Paula Dean's set which you can purchase at Wal-Mart. It is stainless as well.
I will take more than I bought in the first place
if they don’t cough up the $700 plus Tuesday morning and according to what (if that is the way it goes) it brings in on the court house steps, then I get % and the courts take % but not as much as mine. I can hardly wait until Show-Down at the OK Corral Tuesday morning. I just get ticked off thinking about their nerve.
Our son just got married in May and I bought
Regularly $129.00 and I paid $35.00 for it, so it is not necessary to pay a lot of money, the sales are out there. The colors were blue and gray and I wore a darker pink dress (not bright) and it worked out really well. I am a larger sized woman and the dress looked very nice in my size. I wish you the very best.
Just bought a Fleetwood PUP (sm)
and you don't want to know what we paid!! But we plan to have for years - into retirement so looking at it as investment. Have been out twice so far - we have the hard-sided bathroomm - we absolutely love it. I was concered about storage inside but very spaceous. We're on west coast so no advice on camp sites. Have fun and Happy RVing!!
My son is 10 - bought him a men's 9 today (sm)
I know the feeling! His feet are bigger than mine and the same size as his dads!
My daughter bought that for her son
and he LOVES it. He learned so much and had a lot of fun with it. I remember my three kids all watching that show and it brings back memories. I really helped my grandson with several things he kept "forgetting." Does anyone else like Bill Nye the Science Guy? My grandson loved that too and my grownup son is still crazy about it. I say more good shows like those! Bring them on!
I actually just bought a Rug Doctor
from their web site. It is the best thing ever! It does a great job on the carpets and furniture. I can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can try it in my minivan. We have owned the store brand ones like Bissel and Dirt Devel, but they just don't do nearly as good of a job as the Rug Doctor. Ours came with huge supply of different cleaning fluids too. I love the thing!
I bought a new car a week ago...
If anyone cares. A brand new Kia Spectra. I got a great deal on it. They gave me a $2000 rebate so that meant no down payment. And they took off an additional $500 for applying for it on the internet. I love the car and it gets around 35 mpg. So that is my good news!
what is something you have bought in the past you will NEVER
Mine is Little Critters Omega-3 Gummy Fish. Cute concept but the berry, lemon and strawberry flavoried gummies somehow manage to taste like fruity flavored fish ![Shocked](http://www.thedailyplate.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif") When I got them, my kids gagged with the first one and wouldn't even touch the second one for the recommended 2 a day. So guess who is choking down 2 of those suckers every day now?
LOL I just bought some candles SM
at the dollar store - I actually prefer them. I think because they are such cheap candles that the scent is not as strong as the nicer ones, but for me it is perfect - just enough to smell nice without being overpowering. I was just thinking I could buy 325 candles for the price of 1 of those Jo Malone candles. LOL
We just bought a new mattress - sm
It's a Sealy. Can't recall exactly which one but lower end on the price bracket. I think it was about 1000.00 for the mattress and box springs.
We had one of those air beds for a long time and I will never ever recommend one of those.
My husband also has back problems and needed a comfy mattress so he wanted that number bed thing. It was horrible. I would wake up with lower back pain that would stick with me half the day. His pain was worse too.
Not to mention the fact that his side of the bed sprung a leak so after about the first year or so, there was no adjusting it to a comfort zone. Had to pump it all the way up and by morning, it was completely flat and he was laying in a hole inside the foam frame. It was cheaply made, uncomfortable, and a HUGE rip off.
Go for a Sealy, it's worth it. I'm loving it.
No, but I bought a few things from WP
I bought a convetion oven a year ago and it puked out this past week when I wanted to broil a london broil. I was very disappointed. Up until then, I used to make cakes and whole BBQ chickens on the rotisseie which all were great, plus the baking/roasting things. I'm hoping I just did something wrong when but I'm afraid I might not have. I also have his SS pots and pans bought a year before that that are still sitting in the box because I found anoter set of pots and pans that were given as a Christma giflt, so I'm using them.
i will be making chicekn again this week rotiserries style so keep your finers crossed for me. Of course, the warranty ran out prior this happening.
You should have bought different camera. We went
xx
I just bought some this morning -- our
local convenience store (Sheetz) sells them in packs of 3 for $1.00. Love 'em, but nothing beats scraping the pot when it's still warm!!! MMMMMM!!!!
I bought everything I need for my Kodak EasyShare....sm
at Wal-Mart. Target & Walgreens also carries everything you need.
Need some advice. I bought what I thought was new
jacket (listed stated New with tags) on E-bay. Paid through PayPal. Got the jacket. It was obviously a used jacket (had a business card in the pocket and a small stain on the front. Contacted the seller. Said I could send back for refund minus $1.50 (for what I'm not sure). Contacted again. Offered to keep the coat for a refund of $10.00 only. Seller wouldn't do that. Will not refund money until he/she has coat in hand. This means I have to pay for return shipping. I want him/her to refund my money before I send coat back. After all, I didn't make the mistake, he/she did. besides that, if he/she would ship an obviously used jacket when New with tags was listed, I'm not sure this person is very trustworthy. I have to wait 10 days to file a complaint with E-bay. Should I keep pushing for the refund first or just wait and file a complaint with E-bay. BTW, this was supposed to be a Christmas gift, so, of course, I had to buy something else to replace this. TIA for any advice. Sorry for the long post. 
I've bought several things on E-bay and this is the first
time something like this happened. I hope your purchase is a good one. Most of them are.
