I think it's kind of funny. What is shocking to ME is how thin that rope is. It doesn't look strong enough. But what do I know, I'm no parasailing expert.

I would like a small, intimate wedding somewhere in nature (the woods, the beach, on top of a mountain, in a meadow, by a river, etc) with a simple, vintagey dress and him in a guayabera. Dog as my dude of honor. I'd like a mariachi band to play during dinner, then a badass rock and roll band during the rest of the receiption, which would ideally be in some adorable old house or barn with lots of little lights everywhere. I want pinatas and yard games and for everyone to have a really fun time.

I have grey and black leopard tights that and I get compliments on them ALL.THE.TIME. I love the jeans in the second picture you posted, and most of the ones booby posted (except the far left, too bright for me). I say go for it. Especially with a tame top and sweet boots.
No, I haven't! I plan to though ... although I'll probably just download it. I'm always jealous of vinyl enthusiasts, but I'm not one, unfortunately. It seems so ... cool.
Most modern vinyl that I've purchased recently comes with freeeeee mp3 downloads, so that's totally rad. I promise I'm not cool, just old school and dorky.
Also I think moving home could be a really good idea... I moved from CA to Idaho to be close to my family after my divorce 2 years ago. My ex was the only thing keeping me in CA and I am really glad I moved.... it was so much easier to move on and get over him in a new place.
This is my other big struggle right now. Stay in a place where I have great friends, love the weather, and love the state, but would be poor and live in a tiny crappy studio, or move back home where I have great friends AND family, am so-so on the weather, hate the politics of the state, and the cost of living would put me ahead financially and I could afford a whole house? lol...oh man so much to think about.

My thinking is definitely being affected by the newness of this, even though it was a super long time coming. I need to breathe. I need to not make rash, emotional decisions. And I would definitely, 100% regret not taking my dog with me. He is my life, truly.

Thank you all. Walter would be better with me. I work from home, he's needy, and I'm always around. He gets nervous by himself. XBF has a very hectic schedule, in court all the time, etc. I think I know what I have to do. Bully, I don't think that was bitchy at all. You're absolutely right - I am definitely making this harder on myself than I need to. I seriously need to just get over not "hurting his feelings". That's lame of me. I know what I would say to a friend if they were going through the same thing, and that would be to take the dog.

usedtobebear - no worries. This is a tough situation for everyone who has to go through it, I'm sure. Good luck to you with your decision. :heart: blackkitty - you're right. Walter should not be the factor. I need to turn my heart off for these tough decisions. bullygirl - We discussed it and always said he would be mine, but I would "share" Walter as often as he wanted....but that was not when moving 1000 miles away was a factor. I would feel terrible without Walter in my life, but so would he. Argh. This sucks.

redredwine, you said what my heart is saying. It just hurts me so much to hurt X like that, but I know he will be ok. Oh man I really hate this. I wish so badly that I hated X and didn't care about him at all, but I love him to death and he is my best friend...we just had a terrible, awful partnership as bf/gf. blackkitty, I adopted him while we were living together (we were not married, but together for 6 years). Walter is in my name as far as ownership is concerned.

I'm going to try to keep this as brief as possible. I work from home. I can move wherever I want. I am strongly considering moving to my hometown (in Texas, I currently live in CO). I haven't made a decision yet, I need time to stew on this. If I were sitting on a fence, I would be leaning more on the hometown side for financial and family reasons. I could get ahead and back on my feet MUCH faster at home than I would here. I don't know if I would ever get ahead here on my own at my salary.
If I were staying here, we would have somewhat of a joint custody situation with our dog, Walter. X and Walter get along very very well and go on adventures together and all sorts of things. I am very happy to have X in Walter's life, should I stay here. Also, we do not hate each other (at all). Walter would live with me the majority of the time.
If I move home, though, I am very torn on what I would do. On one hand, I love Walter and he is my world. But he's X's buddy, too. I think Walter would be happier here, I don't know why I feel this way. Just thinking about it is breaking my heart into shreds. I don't know what to do. I don't want X to not have Walter in his life, and I don't want Walter to not have X in his life. But I also don't want Walter to not be in my life. We spend every single day, all day, together. He's my running buddy. He's my pal. Argh. This is the worst feeling. Has anyone gone through something similar? Any advice? TIA

Something similar happened when I got divorced. I mailed the stuff to his mom. I wouldn't worry about the deposit, personally. If he hasn't asked about it, then I would just keep it. Maybe that's jerky of me, but I'm poor. ETA: If he asked about it, I would give half the deposit.

Do you text a lot? YES All day? Sometimes. I usually IM with gchat during the day. But I text too. Hardly ever? no. haha Do you prefer texting over talking on the phone? yes, like times a million. Do your parents know how to text? yes but my mom is the WORST texter ever. they are always misspelled, disjointed, make no sense. She is not like this in any other way, just texting. I think the phone is like the most complicated thing in the world to her. Do you send text pics? yes, all the time. If you send a text and don't here back for hours does that annoy you? sometimes. Depends on the person. If you are annoyed at someone will you purposely not text them back or delay your text? i don't generally text with people I'm annoyed with. Have you ever sent a text to a person that was meant for someone else? yep, but it was nothing major (thank god!) Are you ever confused as what type of the tone the person is using thru a text? sometimes. again, depends on the person. most people I text with, I'm pretty close with, so I can guess their tone. Do spelling errors or too many abbreviations annoy you? yes yes yes. i use some abbreviations, but too many drive me nuts.

I accidentally had sex at a crawfish farm once. We thought it was a pond. That was NOT the case. This particular guy and I had a thing for the outdoor/strange place sex. We did it in front of a police station once (omg looking back I can't believe I did that!) and we also used to go to houses under construction and have sex in the different rooms of the house. Lord have mercy. I was a daring young lady.
