DiaryLand members area

Here's the deal: At one point the pending list got deleted so I made a new one. As I was checking the guestbook to the reviews that had been completed your name didn't come up as a diary that had been reviewed or as a name on the pending list. You can do one of three things; 1. leave me a note telling me that you are on the pending list and still want the review, 2. you can leave a note saying you no longer want the review or 3. you can ignore this all together and sooner or later your name will be taken off the pending list.

from soccernut :

Hi there ~ I just wanted to leave you a note to wirsh you a happy 2004! May all your wishes come true this year and may you keep dreaming! I hope all is well with you and ur family (and the kitties - they are SO cute!) ~ Take care, Bella :o)

from wifemotherme :

Happy New Year sweetie!! I pray this one is blessed beyond measure, with a new bundle before its over!

from niceguymike :

If you decide to switch to the other journal, I hope you will drop me a line and let me know where it is. And enjoy the day. A day at home sounds terrific to me, but I'm sort of a homebody anyway.

from lilith73 :

Oh, I hope you are pregnant!

from wifemotherme :

Hope everthing went well today.

from lilith73 :

Merry Christmas!!

from soccernut :

Hey ~ I just joined the almost 58% of those who ARE IN FAVOR. Take care ~ Bella

from xnavygrrl :

I signed it, I'm in favor too.

from niceguymike :

Thanks for including the link from the AFA gay marriage poll. I've signed it, as of today. Also thought you might like to know that more than 56% of those responding at the time I signed on are IN FAVOR!!!

from jadedlife :

15. I used to be grossly gifted in the boob department. I had a breast reduction just over a year ago. The removed six and a half pounds. (Total, not from each side.) I�ve never been happier with my body, although that isn�t saying much. WHHATT! I need to email with you - Whats your email? Info girl INFO

from lilith73 :

I don't think I've caught you before you've already left, but hang in there..I'll keep you in my thoughts..I share your hatred of flying, so I know exactly where you are coming from! And if you've left already, you're missing all the cold weather here! How am I supposed to call and harass you about how cold it is if you are not here? Pooh.

from twisted-mind :

(((((((((((((CJ)))))))))))) Hoping for a safe, easy flight for you. Can't wait for you to be home safe and sound again. Oh and no he never gives in... he's stubborn. The big jerk!

from soccernut :

Your husband is hysterical and I have to say VERY creative! I can't believe he is telling you to stay home until the puppy is trained or you can�t get a puppy! What happened to the old crate/box training techniques??? But again, if my husband had given me the choice, I would DEFINITELY be a stay home mom to my puppy � hehehe! Good luck honey! Bella :)

from twisted-mind :

Ok here are a few points to go back to him with. 1.Can't you take the puppy to work with you and train him there since you OWN the company? 2.You can box train or create train the puppy when you aren't home and you could go home at lunch or something to let him/her out. 3. But honeyyyyy... I don't wanna quit working right now but I wannnnnnna puppy right now. Puleeeassseee. :o) I told my husband today that you and I had been puppy talking and he said he didn't want to the hear the word puppy for the rest of the month. Boohoo!

from ceciliamarie :

OMG that Burger King thing is hysterical! There's more funny stuff like that at funnyjunk.com. SO FUNNY.

from twisted-mind :

thank you for trying to ease my guilt.

from wifemotherme :

OMG reading you and your kitty tale was just what I needed after the horror of shopping! You always make me laugh out loud!

from denovo :

cajones, I think.

from twisted-mind :

Well you silly chick. You know I'll make you a layout. Just tell me what you want.

from twisted-mind :

Actually it might be better to get the puppy now then it can be fully trained before any babies come. Right?!? Sounds good to me. heh I'll tell you this though, if you do get one I am going to be sooooo jealous.

from twisted-mind :

OMG I would so have to kick his butt. I'd sneak my butt back to the shelter and get a puppy, bring him home in your shirt like your preg and this is your new "baby". He couldn't help but say ok. My husband is fixed so I can't have any more and it bugs me to death, but I'd just kill for a new puppy. PUPPY BREATH need I say more?

from twisted-mind :

Oh my gosh... you made me smile so hard it hurt my cheeks. Thank you thank you thank you!!

from wifemotherme :

Loved that list!! Too funny - remind me of that entry when Diary Award nomniations roll around - I think thats a shoe in to win

from xnavygrrl :

Thanks for the note. I ramble a lot, sorry!

from medicjen1971 :

I think your entries are far from boring! I look forward to reading what you have to say! Please keep up the good work. Anyone that has negative things to say to or about you is obviously jealous of you. I say "f--- them"

from twisted-mind :

We got this stuff Ortho Home Defense perimeter and indoor. Which you are able to use indoors and out. You spray it around the cracks, crevices, where the floor trim meets the floor, windows where ever. My ants have yet to return. I used it twice this summer and killed off tons of things. Oh a much grosser note, I never knew animals needed their anal gland emptied but one day noticed my dog having some type of poop problem. Checked out his rear and he had a BIG tumor on his butt! It was a plug anal gland that got out of control and had to be surgically removed. Gross stuff... can't believe this is only my second note to you and I'm talking about animal anuses. heh Hope your kitty is on the mend soon.

from lullabye77 :

Amen. I think it's wonderful that everything is going so well, and would prefer to read about that than a list of horrific situations. And, contrary to popular belief, people would probably love to hear about how well things are going. That's not boring! I am so glad that things are getting better for you....Remember one thing at a time, and "covenant of oneness" will get you through anything- you'll learn about that in March *wink* Jot me when ya got time... Love and belief, Courtney

from ceciliamarie :

Not Rori. Rory. I'm an idiot. I need more caffeine I think. *hugs*

from ceciliamarie :

Rori, you are NOT boring. Good lord! haha

from soccernut :

Boring? What are you talking about?!? Your faithful readers will take you no matter what girl! LOL I am just so happy that things are working out for you and your family! xo Bella :)

from twisted-mind :

I just started reading you recently but I have to agree with you, I'd rather be boring than have my life an emotional mess. You haven't bored me yet. :o) Glad things are going so well for you and your family.

from ncss :

Well, 3 coffee pots isn't THAT bad I suppose....at least you're not in the coffee business! Imagine the pots you'd go through then!! *wink*

from lilith73 :

I am so glad everything is going so well! Give me a call when you have a chance to breathe!

from wifemotherme :

I am so thrilled for you both!!! Congrats up one side and back down the other!!!

from soccernut :

CONGRATULATIONSSSSSSSSS!!!! :o)

from alonenafraid :

http://www.petitiononline.com/butler/petition.html Can you please read this petition and sign it to try and help make the last few months of this woman's life, a little less painful. Also if you don't mind, can you put a link to the petition in your next journal entry, if you sign it that is. Thanks bunches. ~Danielle

from soccernut :

Hey Rory, Welcome back! I wish you and Spanky all the luck in the world with your new business!!! You WILL make it! Take care ~ Bella :o) PS: Has the phone situation been resolved yet?

from specialrevus :

Hey Rory...my name is Banshee Rose (http://banshee-rose.diaryland.com) I am taking over special revus...sorry last minute news to you ann just decided. anyway do you still want to review. You are most welcome to of course. Any suggestions or comments please let me know. I do hope u decide to continue on with us. But if not thats ok too. I wish you the best in life rory. good luck to you in all u do. ~ Miss Rose

from sbspsd :

Hi there. This is Sepia Reviews. We're currently looking for reviewers and your diary is excellent so could you help us out by reviewing for us? It's a diary a week or so - nothing heavy (more if you can!). Let us know. Thank you!

from lullabye77 :

heya girlie! Just thought i would drop you a line since I haven't seen you on AIM but wanted to get that scripture to you. 1 Corinthians 7:10-16. That's something to start with. Also, go to gospelcom.net...On the left side there is a choice b/w ministries and interests....then there is a new page with Biblical Guidance as a choice *go there* Drop me a line and let me know how you're doing. Love and belief, Courtney

from cdghost :

hey,i took a look through your diary and thought i would let you know that i enjoyed reading it..x0x0 the cdghost

from soccernut :

Hi there ~ I just got around to seeing your wedding pics. You look absolutely stunning! I know it's much easier to do your own thing rather than to ensure that your family has quality time together. But you are right, time goes by so fast and you'll never get those years back, so working on it, is definitely worth it. Have a great one. Bella

from liquid-mojo :

I think I'm already starting to get over this whole thing. As for moving on and finding the one for me, I do hope that does happen sometime. But thank you for the comment and for having me in your thoughts. As for the quality time thing, although I am not a parent myself I think as with anything in this world you have to find the right balance. I believe love is about being able to hold and embrace one moment and being able to let go the next. Making sure you spend quality time with your child is a definite plus, but I also believe giving him time to do his own thing and letting him explore his little universe on his own isn't necesseraly a bad thing. I have the feeling you have a really good maternal instict however and I'm sure you will be able to sort it all out. :)

from wifemotherme :

I am so sorry my I never got back last night. It started with a phone call, which led me outside to smoke while I talked, then hubs hijacked the computer to look up a truck part. Forgive me?

from wifemotherme :

please try again - I think I fixed it

from wifemotherme :

Do you have aol or someway to im? my screen name is wifemotherme1

from wifemotherme :

How cool! We are very close to each other. I moved down here a little over 2 years ago

from wifemotherme :

since I am kinda new to reading you - mind me asking what part of the south you moved to?

from cleanstart :

Hugs hun!! And praises for the note below!

from lullabye77 :

hey, if you promise to do your best to stick with me, I'll hold your hand as a spiritual sister and try to help you through all this...That's what we're supposed to do :o)

from cleanstart :

Praise the Lord that this absolute stranger has inspired you by giving her testimony. That's wonderful!! And you look so beautiful in your wedding dress!

from lullabye77 :

Hey there- not that you know me from Jane....But if you need to vent/talk...I've been there, done that...it does get better...you can email me [email protected] or IM me. ~~Courtney

from divamel :

You're right. It's not.

from gonzostar :

that is a beeeeeeeeeeauuuutiful picture! you should add it to your friendster profile!!

from liquid-mojo :

Sims huh? Welcome to your new addiction... =p

from cleanstart :

That is so funny about you all learning that it's a HE, not a SHE after so many years. Ha! Sounds like that litte fellow has been through quite a bit lately!

from taliana1 :

It's hard to find someone who will look at gerbils/hamsters--there just aren't many vets who know anything about them. After doing a lot of calling around, finally found an animal hospital who had someone on staff who would see our hamster. Keep calling around and maybe you'll get lucky.

from itsmylife :

I really dont get how that site works. I signed up but that was as far as I got! Doh!

from niceguymike :

Heh. I looked at Friendster once. I decided not to sign up because I thought, "Who is going to pick me as a friend out of everybody on the Internet? And what would it mean if they picked out a friend based on a few shallow surveys?" Don't you have enough popularity here to tide you over, hon? <g>

from niceguymike :

Amazing, isn't it, how people will log in, read a few minutes of your life, and then presume to tell you how you should live it? Keep livin' it and writin' it. Your own way.

from soccernut :

Hi, I just started reading your diary and I have to tell you ~ I am addicted! It's a good thing you update frequently! LOL Thanks for your honest, raw, open input! I'm looking forward to reading your future entries! Take care, Bella :)

from divamel :

Don't let the bastids get ya down. ;->

from cleanstart :

No cast page, sorry. Curtis is my no good, drug loving ex-husband and Greg is the sole mate I've been looking for my entire life! And then there are my(and Curtis') kids, Hunter and Kayla.

from neurotic-one :

I love your new layout! So bright and cheerful. Glad your having lots of fun. =]

from ceciliamarie :

(((hug))) Your entry today was vague, but it has me worried for you. If you need anything, I'm here. (((hug again)))

from ppatrol :

Hey! Just wanted to let you know that your review is up at Penguin Patrol! -Sarah

from lilith73 :

I can't believe you're so darned close to me! I drove by your apartment complex on the way to Babies 'R Us last night for dipes and I thought it was so neat that someone from Dland lived so close to me. I am SO sorry you're not pregnant, but I will send lots of get pregnant vibes your way. Because babies rock. And I'm really excited that you are in your new apartment. I've heard they are really nice ones too, and I believe they are pretty new too? Anyhow..yay for you and stuff!!!!

from divamel :

"At least there�s no snow!" Braggart. *hmph*

from lilith73 :

Good luck!!!!!

from jenne1017 :

They SHOULD be ready by tomorrow. If so, I will ditch KiKi tomorrow night and post away! I will send you the doubles [extended wedding gift!]. 2 rolls from your wedding and 2 from my b-day!

from ceciliamarie :

UM ARE YOU PREGNANT ALREADY?!?!? Geez that didn't take long! LOL (Congrats, even if you aren't "positive" yet!) *hugs*

from jenne1017 :

ARE YOU PREGGO????

from jenne1017 :

I was just reading your profile honey, and you are NO LONGER SINGLE!

from ohbollocks :

Break out the whip and put the fear of God (that would be you) into him. What are wives for unless it is to terrify their husbands into submission?

from jenne1017 :

I personally like frick, frick, frick on a stick! LOL.

from divamel :

It's so nice to be remembered. ;->

from lilith73 :

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

from ceciliamarie :

Congrats honey!!! Can't wait to see the pics!

from divamel :

I kept the coffee warm for ya. Welcome back!

from liquid-mojo :

Hey Rory, I hope your wedding was a great one. Best wishes and best of luck in your new life together. *crosses yet another woman of the list* *sigh* ;)

from seenuh :

happiest birthday wishes!

from ceciliamarie :

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I am so excited for you!!!!!! I truly wish you the best and I can't wait to hear the details of your beautiful day. *hugs*

from dizzy-dame :

Congratulations! I hope it's a wonderful and beautiful day!

from niceguymike :

Good luck, and may you all have the best of everything!!!

from kate-nz :

not long now - thinking of you!

from dizzy-dame :

Hey, this is Frazzled Imp. Due to certain people in my personal life not having the common sense that god gave a banana feeling the urge to delve into my journal, I�ve decided to pack my bags, and move to a new location. Since this move isn�t intended to thwart my regular readers who have nothing to do with me on an intimate basis, I�m just making the rounds and letting you know where I�ve gone. You�re still welcome to come read, if you�d like. You can find me at: http://dizzy-dame.diaryland.com Take care!

from vanoonoo :

hi :)

from niceguymike :

Hey, thanks for the comments about the layout, and, yeah, I will be there when you're done gallivanting around getting married and moving and starting businesses and things. I remember the days leading up to my wedding, and, while I didn't have nearly as much to do as you probably have, I remember feeling intense relief that all I had to do now was live with her. Good luck with all the plans! And good luck to Shaggy with his, uh, operation.

from divamel :

*hug* I never see you on AIM anymore! Plus you're about to married in oh, what...ELEVEN DAYS??? Aren't you busier than shit??? Oh, wait. You just wrote that you're not. ::sheepish look:: And I still owe someone some porn...

from gaycannibal :

As for the "glamour" pic, all i have to say is DAMN!

from kate-nz :

wow, only three weeks to go! - and here i was excited about 10 week and mailing the invitations!

from screemingink :

hey, i saw some of your photos. shaggy is ADORABLE! and i hope he is doing okay! i read about his little circumcision ordeal. seems like a very tough kid. im sendin my prayors for you guys. heh, one question, is shaggy really the name of your son!? i love that name, nonetheless. heh. xo, Miss Takes

from waycoolmama :

"I sit in amazement at what I could have ever done to deserve all of this. It's almost as if I'm living someone else's life. It's as if I've been dropped into play a role for someone else." I believe it's cuz you finally realize you DO deserve it. I love these entries. I'm smiling with you.

from ceciliamarie :

i was bored :\

from unperfect- :

You seem like a really great person. Just thought I would tell you.

from ceciliamarie :

why that just posted TWICE I have no idea. I do apologize though.

from ceciliamarie :

that was long as HELL. just thought I'd let you know. ;)

from ceciliamarie :

that was long as HELL. just thought I'd let you know. ;)

from soulseekerz :

Hey girly, just wanted to come in and see how you were doing. I miss you, you need to e-mail me or something. ~sniff~ I like the new design for both of your sites, very cute.

from girlreview :

You scored a 95 or above on your review, and if you have the time to review 4-5 diaries a week then girl review would love to have you. Come by and read the reviewers rules, the scoring sheet, and the review for us page and see if you would like to be a reviewer. If you would, just follow the instructions on the review for us page. I look forward to hearing from you. ~Dani *If you've recieved this before, just ignore it.*

from divamel :

Good question. It probably does, but conversely, you'd miss out on all the good stuff, too.

from delicaterevu :

hey, your review is up at http://delicaterevu.diaryland.com/mentalblank.html nice job!

from liquid-mojo :

I'm not going to bog you down with any restrictions, just go wild on this one... ;)

from divamel :

Not a stupid question at al. The real rub is that skin with high melanin content is actually thinner than skin with less pigmentation, so the challenge is not to go so deep as to cause scarring. Of course some colors will not be as brilliant with a darker background as well.

from shamereviews :

Hey! Your review is finished! I'm soo sorry it has taken me so long to review you but alas, even my own mind can't pretend I have a life any longer. **sighs** Anyways, thanx a bunch for being so patient! -Jasmine =D

from neurotic-one :

oh poo poo to no reversal

from liquid-mojo :

I think the question you should ask is what AREN'T you going to do to me... ;)

from liquid-mojo :

OMFG *spashes self with water* Is it hot in here or is it just me?

from liquid-mojo :

Yes I wanted to go over your figure and perhaps provide some hard input. The interest-rate is at an all time high. ;)

from liquid-mojo :

Oh you are so bad... I'm going to have to send you in for a closed-door "conference".

from liquid-mojo :

Ok, now you got me going... *fans self*

from liquid-mojo :

I think I'll need to visit you visiting the bathroom...

from liquid-mojo :

Glad I could contribute to your mental imagery. ;)

from liquid-mojo :

i'll just wipe off that mess on the seat. thanks for the suggestion... ;)

from liquid-mojo :

Making notes you yourself Rory? that's something I'd do. ;) I've never actually tried getting off at work, men's bathroom is too nasty and I take the train so the car thing is out of the question. Hmm maybe I can get myself off in the train, hey nobody knows me there... ;)

from mentalblank :

Sucks that you can't AIM at work, doesn't it? Oh, and in those "I've got to get off NOW" moments at work...I've found the bathrooms or a "smoke" break in your car can do wonders. Tips from a pro.

from liquid-mojo :

damn, i'm going stiff. if only i weren't at work. we seriously need to AIM ;)

from liquid-mojo :

Yes, I bow to your absolute genius-ness. How far down do you need me to bow? Lower? Right about here? ;)

from liquid-mojo :

unfortunately they are all metaphorical. I'm hoping to change that however... ;)

from screemingink :

interesting new template...hehe

from liquid-mojo :

How about I pour you a drink (or twelve)... ;)

from liquid-mojo :

Well, OK but I don't want you going out of your way... (unlessthepicsarereallysexy) ;)

from liquid-mojo :

LOL, thank you for seeing things my way. I happened upon your online pics. I have to say, you are quite the swoon-worthy individual and I mean that in the most non-sexual, non-hitting-on-you way possible, only becuase you are engaged and stuff. ;)

from liquid-mojo :

The Diva is right, add one more freak to the list of people you have magnetized... ;)

from ohbollocks :

Would an ultra-padded bra maybe help keep from having to do so many alterations?

from gumphood :

Hello there. I was reading and I found you very interesting. Few points. First that wedding dress thing sound like a disaster. I hate it when people expect you to fix their problems. Two I also seem to attract the crazy people no matter what I do, and finally I am sorry that it seems tough with things with the man front, and I don't want to make light of it, but that hallmark comment was really funny. Anyway, longest note ever so I am going now!!

from divamel :

You attract the weird ones because you, like many of us, are a full-fledged freak magnet. Learn to sit back and enjoy the stories that ensue. :)

from sbspsd :

this is an invitation to be reviewed by sepia reviews. (our review site is located at: http://sbspsd.diaryland.com) request in our notes section after reading the rules and scoring and remember to include the catch-phrase and the word "INVITE". Invited guests have a priority on the pending list. cheers!

from marness :

Thank you! Never say "only". It really does add up. I love hearing about the survivors, like your grandmother. It's such a scary illness that it's good to know that women do pull through. One in ten. Man, those odds are way, way too high. Here's hoping they find both the prevention and cure within our lifetimes, eh?

from the-noise :

Hey there. I really appreciate your review. Lately my reviewers (actually, you and the reviewer before that, both much olver [but not old] than most... which I think has a lot to do with the things you notice of course) have had so many helpful, important things to say to/about me. I really appreaciate you taking the time to actually read enough to get to know me. Or at least the bits of me I discuss in my diary. Reviewers usually don't review or critique much more than the obvious. The template, the writing style... so on and so forth. But you actually took the time to make and give your opinion on the things I'm actually talking about. And in most cases, struggling with. Thanks again. :) Oh, and also... might you point out a few examples of my gramatical errors? I know I'm a horrid speller, but I'm usually very, very picky about my gramar. :/

from screemingink :

hey, you are so very interesting and hilarious. i really enjoy your diary. i usually have a strong resentment for diaries that talk about the person's day and how it was; i am attracted to more poetic words. but i was surprised to find that yours is really a work of art in your witty sense of self and others. your diary is to be strongly appreciated by many. you are uncanny, and a delight to read. i will add you to my favorite diary list. xoxo, Miss Takes

from shi-ou-sama :

^_^ thankies for the review madame

from heyjuderevu :

Hello there, this is Jude. Michael did your review and as of today this notice was posted: http://heyjuderevu.diaryland.com/notice.html. Please read it and decide for yourself :).

from heyjuderevu :

your review is complete and up on our site!

from heyjuderevu :

your review is complete and up on our site!

from girlwcurls :

hey :-) just wanted to let yo know that i was here, and enjoyed the stay.

from liquid-mojo :

In response to your buddy list comment, aside from your California Maki/Wasabi-Green layout (which is making me hungry by the way) I just love your honest musings such as trying to sort in your mind your sexual identity, past, present and possible future in the face of your immenent nuptuals. It's amazing that no matter how long you have lived and how much you have experienced that there is always opportunity for you to discover and re-discover yourself. Good luck in whatever path you choose to take...

from neurotic-one :

It seems many people are obsessing over their buddy lists. Glad I'm not the only one. =] When I read your entry 8/15 I checked to see if I was the person you deleted, then remembered....duh, I got here from there!

from divamel :

*smacks own forehead* Duh. I meant add me top your AIM buddy list. I am an unclear moron. I should have been asleep at that time of night instead of posting fool notes...

from divamel :

oooooooooooo, girl! Thank YOU for the fabulous review of my diary! What a treat to find that after I logged on after our eight hour blackout! And your most recent entry...ooo, if you ever wanna talk, just add me to your buddy list! I am HERE for you, girl!

from ohbollocks :

Hi. Um, this is the first time I've ever read your guestbook and I would read more except that I'm on a time limit. (I'm at a library -- long story.) I just wanted to say that I really liked your last post, and...I don't think you should look at it as throwing part of yourself away. It's just a part of who you are and a part of what makes you who you are today. If you hadn't had those experiences, you wouldn't have evolved in the same ways. And maybe you didn't just stop being gay, maybe you just realized that there was more to it than just that. The category broadened and you're bisexual, not just gay. And maybe you can't still go out with women anymore after you're married, but...you can't go out with any other men, either. I don't know what I'm really trying to say here exactly. I just think that maybe you haven't so much thrown out a part of yourself as you have evolved into somebody else -- and the definitions that once fit you, you simply grew into other ones. So what you were isn't lost -- it's just changed. I'm not arguing that you shouldn't feel sad or scared or anything. God, if I were about to get married, I'd be scared shitless. And I'd probably be really sad about the things I would be losing, too. You said yourself though that you've found something special with him, so there will be things that you'll gain from this that will fill in holes that maybe you didn't even realize were missing before. Anyhow, I'm sorry if this hasn't really made much sense or anything.

Hi there! I'm the owner of a brand new review site, would you like a review? Come visit us! http://heyjuderevu.diaryland.com

from neurotic-one :

This is a long note. I had originally sent it off through email, but it came back due to not being the correct addy. Here it is: Hi, I was going to respond to your inquiry yesterday, but was too poop'd. Foster Care, contrary to what I write on most occasions, is a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend people too become involved. Everyone has there own reasons for providing foster care. One of my 'many' reasons, is so that I can give back some of the small kindness's that I had been lucky enough to receive through out my life, a willingness to show/prove, that you can pick yourself up off your ass and make a decent life for yourself. I have the mind set of an old hippie...anti-establishment, watch dog of government run institutions, etc. etc.. I question those of 'higher authority' in regards to children. They are after all our future. If you had been reading much of my diary, you'll see that I constantly provide the thorn, too those in charge. In other words......I love being a pain in the ass. You certainly don't have to be wealthy to provide foster care, but it certainly helps if you can reach 'pay day' without too much of a problem. Contrary to popular opinion, you really don't receive much money for providing this service, and the amount you do receive goes directly to the child....along with your own money. I like to think of it as 'child support', that you'd receive for any of your own biological children; it helps out, but doesn't necessarily provides all of their needs. I noticed you had listed me about a month or so ago on your favorites (thank you very much) and I'm going through burn out at this time. But I really want to be as positive as possible, so as to encourage you into doing this. I saw from your profile, that you are a single mother, bisexual and getting ready to get married. They are all important parts of being a foster parent. You know of the disadvantages and hardships of single parenting....much advice and experience too be shared with child. The bisexuality too teach tolerance of all aspects of humanity and the future spouse, to aid as a sounding board and financial buffer. Contact your local Court House/ Family Social Service and let them know that you are interested in providing this service. There is also many private agency that you may contact. You will be required (hopefully) to have a police report/referrence done indicating you haven't been charged with child abuse or any other type of criminal activity. I hope I was able to answer some of your questions in regards to Foster Care. Feel comfortable in asking any questions that may crop up. Respectfully, Barbara

Slim had the same problem and had to have his done when he was close to a year old. I hated that! I felt so bad because I didn't want any of my children to be circumsised.

from toastreview :

ok thank you for requesting! i'll be poking around your diary and i'll let you know when the reviews up!!!

from quelquechose :

P.S. Sorry to bother you again, but I can't sign your guestbook this soon. I must add that you are mistaken about my deleting entries from my diary, which I have not done. Also, I would like to ask you why you immediately jumped to the conclusion that this "Megan" person was me, especially as she didn't even leave her URL. Anyway, I'm very sorry for all these misunderstandings, and I hope that further communication on this subject will not be necessary.

I know what you mean about a bad mood building. Once Im in a bad mood it's like everything starts pissing me off. I usually tell everyone to just leave me alone, course they never do and they end up getting their feelings hurt *sigh* it's a huge pain! :)

Hi. Sorry to bother you. I want to thank you for giving me a very in depth review. I really appreciate it. About the not caring what people think about my diary, I am talking about when people say that they hate my diary. I guess I should have been more thorough about my statement. Thank you for the suggestions. I will take them into consideration especially the biography. I really do need to change it. Take care, Rachel

from thisisjohn :

relationships are about commitment. if we based everything on feelings, we would be a lost world going from one person to the next with reckless abandon. and in the end we would just suffer for it. guess some lessons are better learned the Hard Way.

from trinity63 :

and why wouldn't I listen to your suggestions? that's crazy:) I already did some of them already:) go look:)

from thisisjohn :

I totally relate to todays (july 10th) entry. My wife left me, for what good reason, I do not know. I was willing to spend the rest of my life with her, take care of her, support her in what she wanted, and financially, and she just up and left. We had our minor problems. But still, none of them were worth leaving me for. And then I found out 6 months later she cheated on me with another guy who she lived with for 3 weeks. People... are just amazing. I don't understand how they could make a lifelong decision (or want to) and be serious about it, then just change their mind. Like it was nothing. Like taking it back to wal-mart and getting your money back. Life isn't that cheap.

from trinity63 :
