What's the One Thing That would Make you Happy??

[basscatcher]

I have always wanted to write my name in the snow in yellow letters from a stationary position.

 

 

 

:lmao: When I was a kid I stood staddled over the toilet to try see what it was like to be like a guy being able to stand up and pee without having to sit down.. It didn't work to well..

 

 

 

{Ah, the things you do and try when your young and innocent..!}

[ConfusedGal]

Padameckla, I tried that. Didnt work well either....!

[Pink Amulet]

Yeah, me too. It proved unsuccessful if I recall

[bab]

do you think that's why gas station bathrooms are continually covered in pee? Woman's desire to stand while peeing?

must be a minnesota thing, pada – my girlfriend said she and her little sister used to do that too, when they were kids!

 

I think outie's got it down pat: people have got a checklist mentality about what is "supposed" to make them happy, and subsequently find themselves unhappy or unfulfilled by that damned list. It's not about what you have or don't have, but how you go about living your life.

 

I can easily identify myself as contented – that point where happiness has become a way of life and isn't some fleeting thing to be grasped at. Yeah, there are some things to imperfect that contentedness, but hey, that's cool, because I still think I've got a great life. Practically speaking, if there was one thing that would definitely improve my life and bring about even greater "happiness," I'd be a breast reduction. But if it doesn't happen, I'm not going to feel as if my happiness is threatened, because that happiness isn't centered in some surgery.

 

CG, moving away as far as possible from your mother isn't going to change things, because you'll still have those problems with her wherever you go. I think maybe you've convinced yourself that a move will magically solve what bothers you … until you can tell her that she no longer has the power over you to make you miserable, and until you can walk away mentionally and emotionally from the pain she creates, you're not going to find that elusive happiness. Because moving away is a checklist item that really doesn't get to the heart of the problem – you need to put your foot down, set your boundaries and stick to them even if your family doesn't like it. Then and only then will you begin to feel "happy" about your life. Otherwise, you'll continue to be miserable no matter what.

Funny I'm from a little bit north of Minnesota, and I do know a few girls who have gotten good at peeing standing up. Must have to do with challenges imposed by a rural lifestyle or something. One that amazed me is a technique where you bend over away from one one of those urinals in the men's room that is full length. Not recommended while other guys are around

I have been thinking about this since the question was first posted,

... which is exactly 30 minutes (between her post and your reply)!

 

I have achieved everything I've wanted so far. I still have many goals to achieve and look forward to it. The most important thing for me is that my kids are healthy and happy. Everything else, I can achieve myself.

why is that funny?

[Sassy]

my SO would grow up and take blame for the things he has done and quit blaming everybody else!

[lovestruck234]

I wish her pain would go away too lovestruck. I am so sorry to hear of this.

 

P.S this is why I refuse to feel sorry for myself.

 

Thanks.... me too....

 

Since she's been really sick it makes me think about all the days I would fake being sick so I could have the day off school.... FAKE being sick!!

 

I think she would give anything to be able to just FAKE it, instead of actually putting up with it day in, day out.

 

But I believe people always come out of things like this as stronger and more determined, and that's why I admire my mum so much. She's the coolest!
