CrazyInLove's Datingish

Just when I thought all hope was lost...

Mon, 04 May 2009 02:33:41 GMT

Such a surprise, last thing I ever expected.
What an amazing evening. He was everything he used to be... so funny and relaxed...flirtatious. Such crazy chemistry that we try to have 3 different conversations at once because we get so excited. Circumstances may not be ideal, the timing may be catastrophically wrong, but with strength, patience and of course love, who knows what the future holds. :)

Just a little fix...

Sun, 26 Apr 2009 07:29:44 GMT

I'm trying to replace this hole in my life with exercising, a 2nd job, new friends...no matter how busy I am and how distracted I pretend to be you are still there. Why has this happened? Never before has a guy had this effect on me. Its like a virus that won't go away. Why cant I just let go?

Advice from your girlfriends? DUMP HIM

It really bothers me sometimes how critical women are of their men. I understand bitching to your girlfriends over lunch, we all know guys talk about the old ball and chain as well. That is just natural. But in my personal experience, women are so quick to judge another woman's man. There are two sides to every story people. I guarantee that even your best girlfriend isn't telling the entire story and presenting information without bias.

I can almost understand though... you're trying to be supportive of your friend. What I absolutely cannot understand and refuse to understand is why women are so critical of their own man. Yes there are douchebags out there who deserve but sometimes...I hear a woman going on and on about the pain and distress she's in because her boyfriend likes to play poker with his buddies on Tuesday nights. Or, her boyfriend just ran into a buddy from college and wants to have a drink and may be a little late coming over tonight. Or maybe he said the wrong thing, or got too caught up in his job this week, or forgot that you didnt like onions when bringing over take out. These things mean nothing in the grand scheme of things, no man is perfect. Why criticize, why punish them over small stuff? If something seriously bothers you, sit down and talk about it without accusations or harsh words. I literally cringe at some of the conversations I overhear. At Walmart the other day, this girl got so pissy and rude to her boyfriend because he couldn't help her pick out hair gel and said "you're never any help" in a demeaning, rude tone for all to hear. When she picked out her hair product and put it in the cart, she looked at him and YELLED "Obviously I'm done this means you can push the cart now." At least 7 people overheard that. Not necessary people. Because then you know what happens... a nice girl ends up with that poor guy 10 years down the road and he's so gun shy to relationships that they deadend before it even begins.

Just think people. Think before you speak. Hear your words before others do.This absolutely applies to guys as well but honestly, I see it more with women.

An Assignment for the Heart: What do you love about your significant other?

Mon, 30 Mar 2009 04:13:26 GMT

I love you...

I love you because you mumble in your sleep...
because you hog the blankets then blame it on me the next day...

I love you because you lay your head in my lap...
because you can fall asleep mid-sentence after a long day...

I love you because you won't rest until everyone around you is taken care of...
because you are the last person you want to see happy...

I love you because you still give me butterflies...
because the world stands still when you kiss me fiercely...

I love you because of those amazing moments...
you know the ones, where our eyes meet from across the room and we sign contently and happily...

I love you because you get on my nerves sometimes...
frustrate me beyond words and when i get over it I just love you more...

I love you...
because you are you...the one for me.
My greatest happiness, and my greatest heartache...

In Limbo...

This is by far the worst punishment in a relationship. The limbo period where you aren't sure whether or not everything is going to be ok....not sure if its over and no one has said the words... just waiting to hear something reassuring from him. Pure torture. It scares me how easily I blame myself. I'll make up something that I maybe did to justify his sudden change in attitude. This is the problem with love, its involuntary and its blind. Or is that the beauty of love?

My faith in you is fading...

Is there a such thing as "too loyal" ?

Doesn't seem like that could be possible but if someone is being loyal to the point where it may be harmful to themselves then yes, there is a such thing as too loyal. I don't know why I'm still here, why I can't move on. I think its the fear of the unknown. I don't think if this is that one chance everyone waits for in their life, or if I am going to meet the man of my dreams tomorrow morning at Starbucks. I don't want to walk away from the little I do have now in case there really isn't anything better out there. Maybe I will never love again like I love him. What if everyone I meet will always be second best? My faith in him is fading though, I'm not believing that one day he will want to be a better guy for me....that one day he will want to make all this pain and suffering worth the effort.

I still can't walk away. I keep saying.....maybe tomorrow.

My Blackberry Bold.

I absolutely adore this phone. First of all, I'm glad it separates SMS from email because the Curve didn't and it drove me batty. The screen is beautiful, the camera is fanastic and the handset it self is very sturdy. Not plastic and cheap like the Curve felt. I love my voice navigated GPS as well as some extra software I installed. (ToDoMatrix, IdeaMatrix, Facebook, etc) For whatever reason, the MySpace App doesn't work right. I dont think its my phone though.

Anyway, if you are a Blackberry lover I HIGHLY recommend this phone. I've played around with the Storm and find the Bold to be far superior if you like the functionality of the Blackberry. If you like the "coolness" of a touchscreen, Storm away.

If you were reincarnated, would you want to come back as a man or a woman ... and why?

I like being a woman and have zero interest in experiencing life as a man.

I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!

Yellowstone

Mon, 16 Jul 2007 18:35:15 GMT

I only got to spend one day in Yellowstone but I truly think its one of the most amazing places on earth!! It is a little scary to think you're walking on top of a super volcano that according to the Science channel could erupt any day ! But aside from the volcanic activity, the wildlife there is just amazing. Pics on my photoblog.

Moore's "Sicko" Is Sickening
By Larry Elder
Thursday, July 12, 2007

Nearly 50 million "Americans" lack health-care insurance. At least, director Michael Moore makes this claim in "Sicko," his new "documentary" about America's supposedly awful health-care system.

Nearly 50 million Americans without health-care insurance? For what it's worth, the Centers for Disease Control puts the number of uninsured at 43.6 million, and the Census Bureau at 44.8 million.

First, understand that lack of health-care "insurance" does not mean a lack of health care. Many emergency rooms, by law, provide medical care to anyone who walks in, whether an illegal or legal resident of this country.

Second, when Moore asserts that 50 million Americans lack health care insurance, he most assuredly includes some of the estimated 11 million to 20 million illegal aliens living here. Of people born in America, 86 percent have health-care coverage. For non-citizens, only 57 percent have health-care insurance.

Now examine those who lack health-care insurance.

Nearly half go without health insurance only for four months or less, usually while between jobs. Others with employment could easily add health-care insurance through their work for a very small premium. Many without health-care insurance consist of young people (18 million uninsured are between the ages of 18 and 34) who consider themselves -- given their youth and good health -- unlikely to face large health-care costs.

Over 14 million of the uninsured, according to the Census Bureau, live in households earning $50,000 or more annually. Over 7 million are in households earning more than $75,000 a year. These people could afford health-care insurance, either out-of-pocket or by making minor adjustments to their lifestyles. A small number of the uninsured include criminals. Should taxpayers provide health care for them, as well?

"Sicko" followed the travails of Americans with health-care insurance -- their squabbles with their providers, denials of treatment by insurance companies, their dissatisfaction with the unwillingness of insurance companies to cover certain procedures. But according to an ABC News-Kaiser Family Foundation-USA Today survey, 89 percent of Americans with health-care insurance say they are, in fact, satisfied with the quality of care they receive.

To "solve" health care, Moore wants America to adopt a European or Canadian style of universal health-care, or single-payer system. Does Moore really expect Americans to tolerate long lines for services, months-long delays for important, critically necessary operations and procedures, and the rationing that inevitably occurs with a
government-takeover of health care?

Canada? A recent government study said that only half of ER patients received health care in a timely fashion. Lindsay McCreith of Ontario was supposed to wait four months for an MRI, and then wait several months more to see a neurologist for his malignant brain tumor. But instead, McCreith -- like many other ill Canadians -- came to the United States for life-saving surgery.

England? The country's socialist Labor Party now favors privatization and expects, within two years, to triple the number of private-sector surgical procedures.

France? Nearly 13,000 people died in the summer of 2003. Why? The number suffering from the heat so overwhelmed the French health-care system that hospitals simply stopped answering their phones and ambulance attendants told people to take care of themselves. The majority of the 13,000 died from simple dehydration.

To address the "crisis" of the medically uninsured, Moore follows down the same dreary path of those who wish to improve America's education -- ignoring the benefits of competition. Why, for example, do elective
medical procedures -- those not covered by health-care insurance -- become increasingly affordable? Cosmetic surgery procedures, nose jobs, breast implants, hair grafts, facelifts and vision-corrective eye surgery steadily decline in price.

Stifling regulations, price controls and outright attacks on free market medicine make things worse. A decade ago, an entrepreneur who operates a for-profit medical school in the Caribbean island of Dominica attempted to build one in America. He scouted the country and figured that Wyoming's doctor shortage created ideal conditions for a
for-profit medical school. Compared to the national average of one doctor for every 441 people, Wyoming had only one doctor for every 642 people.

But local doctors pounded the table, warning that the medical school would produce unqualified doctors. Never mind that 92 percent of students graduating from his off-shore medical school passed their U.S. basic level tests on their first try, a slightly higher rate than the U.S. and Canadian average. Wyoming doctors and the national
accrediting agency for medical schools successfully fought the proposed school.

If you consider our current health-care system "Sicko," just wait until Dr. Moore takes charge.
