I decline to aquiesce to your request. Means no. -
At Last!!!
New glasses have arrived. I had to wait almost 6 weeks for my eyes to calm down to we could get a good prescription, then it took almost 4 weeks to get the actual glasses. But they are here and I can see!!! -
Early to Bed and Early to Rise
Some days, you haul your butt out of bed long before sunrise, and the sunrise is 'eh'. Overcast, low clouds, it just doesn't seem worth it. -
Just Sayin'
Relationships can be successful even if they don't meet the standards of the people not involved in the relationship. The fact that it would not work for you has no impact on whether or not it works for them. It ain't yours, so you don't get to say what works.

Now, he isn't motivated to do ( Read more... ) -
Silly Child
If you have a photo of yourself and you look like the morning after a really bad night, don't make it your profile photo. Really. You aren't cute, tough, sexy or smart. -
Aughh!
