Nikki_N 17 Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 I think you avoided my question by saying "I'll keep both!".Say your husband turned into an alcholic and your kids became 24-hour rude and hostile.... but leaving them would mean you'd be scraping by from paycheck to paycheck in a crappy place, and riding the bus everywhere. OK, farfetched, but most people face some variation of these choices at some point in their life. How do you weigh financial security vs emotional security/happiness? Is there a dollar amount? A "happiness threshold"? Or what if instead of hostile kids, add in questions of custody and seeing your kids part time. Now what is your answer?I would give up financial security for true happiness if I felt my life was lacking in it. I really would. I've been broke before. I could manage, especially if I was happy and at peace with my brokeass. Link to post Share on other sites

A friend of mine downloaded it today, but I'm a good librarian so I'm waiting for the real thing. I'll check out the link after I finish the book this weekend. Thanks.

Thanks.I read it, I think you're safe, and yes, it is hilarious. For example:Harry himself has said that Voldemort put a "piece of him inside me," before quickly adding "but not in a gay way."

LongLiveYorke 38 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Hey Nikki,I was just wondering how best to kill myself after leaving an incredibly awkward, nervous, and embarrassing message on a girl's answering machine (a girl that I want to go out with). Have you guys seen Swingers? Picture the scene when Jon Favreau leaves a message and you'll know what I'm talking about.In all seriousness, is there any way that such a message could be considered cute and endearing? And in general, what is the policy toward leaving messages when attempting to call up a girl and ask her out? She we simply not do it? If we do, should we ever call back in case she didn't get the message or should we consider a lack of response a total rejection? Is it worse to embarrass ourselves by calling back after having left a message or to simply not call back at all and miss a possible opportunity due to either a message that was not received or a girl who is too "old fashioned" to call a guy back from a message.From, Confused and concerned in Connecticut (LLY) Link to post Share on other sites
