Just thought I'd give a small update...
After heaps of drama, we're in New Zealand with my father and his wife and it's going well. There was some hoopla about whether or not to go visit them in London and a bunch of bickering back and forth, but then since they're were already coming here on holiday, we just joined them here as well. Besides an incident where he was angry that we didn't have an anniversary gift for them for their wedding (he's been married four times, I can't remember all the dates) and then him wanting me to go to the shops and buy her an anniversary gift because he didn't have one (uh...okay), it's been a very pleasant experience. He is responding reasonably well to his treatments, is comfortable, and semi-optimistic. After a few more tests, it seems that the cancer wasn't as bad as the anticipated and that the tumours were fairly contained and hadn't spread as far as they thought. He's been very mellow (for him) and besides the gift incident, no drama has been going on. His wife has been very nice and pleasant and my sister has acted liked a sane person.
Plus, we get views like this.........

So, the cancer wasn't as bad as you all thought. That is good. I'm hoping your dad makes a full recovery Addie. :)

Also. New Zealand is BEAUTIFUL!!!

What I was going to come here and post was just pure sadness. I find myself having a hard time facing another year single. Come August. If, I'm still single. It'll be six years since I've had a real relationship. And, thinking about that is hard. But, I'm sure I'll pull though.

You'll find someone Mary. Don't worry about it.

I think my problem has to do more with the fact that I'm pretty picky. And, that I was hurt so bad before. I have trust issues. I've been on a few dates with guys in the past 5 years, and have had offers. But, nobody impresses me much because I'm scared to death that they will do just like my ex-fiance Jay did. Ask me to marry them, me start planning the wedding. And, then going off and screwing another girl and dumping me. Blah.

I'm not desperate by any means. But, I am picky as hell. If someone does one little thing to cause me to have a trust issue with them. It's goodbye.

I hear ya about being picky. And I've been down the engagement road before with my first love Amanda....we got all the way up to like 2 days before the wedding had a big fight and then she dumped me.....and my last girlfriend Michelle has apparently gone crazy after she broke up with me and apparently thinks I'm out to sabatoge her and bunch of other people too......women....go figure. LOL

Two days and she dumped you. That's horrible. sad.png

I thought mine was bad with me paying $200 for a passport to go to England...and then being dumped after the fact. Dumped for a girl who seems like the queen slut of England. Then, not being told why I was dumped. Jay just telling me that he wanted out because he was not ready to marry. Then, finding out from his bandmate Jake that he was boinking another girl. And, now he's married to her. 5 years after the fact.

Also, maybe it's a thing with Michelle's. One ruined my friend Kyle's life to the point where he was suicidal. sad.png

Bitch who ruined my life is named Dominque.

Men also seem to be scared of me. I don't know why. I'm not scary. I just seem to put out this mysterious thing. It's weird.

Plus, I'm kind of a homebody now days. I don't get out as much as I should.

Part of the problem for me is that I'm very shy and perhaps TOO comfortable with my alone time. I don't need to be around a bunch of people all the time to stay entertained. Plus, I resisted going to dances growing up because I got teased VERY badly by girls in middle school and didn't want to deal with it. I also looked kind of awkward in high school (ugly glasses, extra weight--I've since lost a LOT of it and wear contacts now), plus I'm just very dorky in general. I DO feel my attractiveness has gone up--in this past year, I feel more physically attractive than I EVER have before in my life--and college/working in the career field I love has helped me value my chance to be more independent--but then I see how many of my friends/former classmates are engaged/getting married, or see my younger sister, who has a boyfriend, and I can't help feeling like crap sometimes.

At the same time, though, I thank GOD that I'm not pregnant now, or with someone just because I don't want to be alone. I don't want to be in a loveless marriage. Hell, sometimes I think common law is the way to go.

And I really feel like I have a chance to go far in my career path (and I'm still considering grad school, too), and part of me is grateful that I haven't had a relationship to distract me from achieving my dreams yet, because there is SO much I want to do, and have yet to do. What can I say? I grew up in a small county--I'm determined to make it (cue cheesy positive motivational song here laugh.png ).

I don't know, I'm just afraid my first boyfriend, whoever he is, will find that out and it will scare him off, given how old I am now.

You sound like my aunt. Back when Michelle and I were still dating, she said to watch out for her because of her name....he daughter-in-law is named Michelle too and she can't stand her.....lol.

And I get tired of women just wanting to be my friend. I mean...come on......what is wrong with me? haha

That's odd about men being afraid of you. Maybe you put out some kind of vibe that they pick up on or something.

I don't want kids and that's another reason I have to be picky. Because, most men want children.

Especially most Christian, Catholic, and Jewish men. And, that's all I'll date.

So, I'm just a picky...picky woman. LOL.

I was teased like hell in school too Mary. I was told after the fact though that it was because people were jealous of me because of my looks. So, they treated me like [!@#$%^&*].

Oh well....their loss of not wanting to be my friend and know me. Damn them.

Ooooh, you're getting a girlfriend maybe. Nice. Don't mess around on her. She won't like that. sad.png

Play nice my friend. Play nice.

    • Jason and hemming and hawing about Sidwell taking over and being ruthless

      Please register in order to view this content

      . This show is so stupid. Sonny killed an FBI agent less than a year ago by shooting him at point blank range. But the new short bald man is much much worse cause he was a bad guy in some part of Africa and managed to not kill Lucky, Isaiah, Jason, or Anna. This show is crippled by the mob all these years after Guza has been long gone. 
    • With all the changes Sunny was one of the longest running characters by that time.  She had never been married and had heaps of story potential. I can see America getting with SFT -you know 'the circus soap'. Smart move because circuses were all the rage with the kids in the 80's. Maybe Stu and Jo could have bought the circus.
    • It is actually pathetic, that Victor’s 50 year old children are still written as scared of this man that has to sit in every scene. I get it, EB has been on the show for almost 50 years, but I don’t care. He’s a man in his 80’s and should not be the damn lead and driving force because you don’t want to upset Eric Braeden ‘s fragile ego that only exists because the writers have cowtowed to this man for so long.
    • PREACH Victor being written as he was 20 years ago to support EB's ego or some misguided belief that what worked decades ago is still relevant is destroying the show. Victor comes off as a rambling old fool holding on to vendettas and a desperate need for perceived power. His children still cow-towing to him makes them look equally foolish. If the writing portrayed Victor as  more of an irritant to them then maybe it would work.
    • They desperately need another meeting spot that isn’t Orphy Genes or the Country club. Y&R is awful now but there’s at least GCAC, Crimson Lights, Society, and the Jazz room at GCAC to meet at. 4 places is definitely better than 2 and I can’t imagine these rich folks literally only eat at their damn country club.
    • I support all of this. 80 year old Victor reading lines off the table or teleprompter until it’s time to yell at someone and still being the main man driving story on the show is absolutely ridiculous to me and one of the biggest issues with the show. I respect Braeden for wanting to keep working in his old age is great and all, but WHY IS HE THE LEAD?
    • I believe they said 27 sets. We have not seen that many maybe around 20. Perhaps they meant they have space for that number. I would like to see another meeting place -maybe a restaurant that could fit in b/w Orphy's and the Country Club. Casual but classy. Jacob/Naomi need a living room and it would be good if Vern/Anita had a smaller study/library so they're not always in the same room. I guess budget plays a part. For example, maybe the plan is for Jacob/Naomi to get a home down the track when they become more prominent. I really hope that outdoor sets come into use. A terrace at the Country Club or a few shopfronts-a park maybe. Speculation re June. I would go with a Hayley connection as she needs something else to do apart from whining to Bill. June could  provide some conflict cos I don't see Bill being that interested in having her around. He could try to buy her off, upsetting Hayley or she could overhear/uncover some dirt on Bill so he's forced to keep her around. The parents of Tyrell/Samantha can be held for down the track along with the mystery of Andre's parents. The advantage of a new show is that there is so much from character's pasts that can be used. An ex for Vernon or Anita and various relatives to come out of the woodwork.
    • Oh god I haven’t gotten to that episode yet, you have to be [!@#$%^&*].ing kidding me. I will say to my surprise, the Danny actor no longer bothers me. He has actually improved quite a bit.
    • I hear what you are saying, but I feel there is definitely an opportunity for improvement. If the set problem is to remain, then the whole focus has to change. Business has to take a back seat if there are no sets available to support story. As I have said before return to Jabot and have a number of characters working and interacting there. They seem super reluctant to do it but Victor needs to be a more supporting character.  Eric Braeden seems determined to carry on and that is of course admirable,but keeping Victor as this dominating force has been detrimental. Have a sweet reunion of Sharon and Nick and marry them off for good. Bring on Faith and I'd even have Adamson back as Noah at this point to support Nick/Sharon in a parenting role. They really need to bite the bullet and drop one of the following -Billy, Chelsea, Phyllis or make them recurring like Abby/Ashley with appearances or short term stories when appropriate. Free up some space for new or returning characters- Noah, Allie, Fen, Moses,even a recast Dylan.  
    • Today was really boring. I get we needed to have Martin accepting Eva but man I needed some Leslie today. Anita being hung up on was intriguing though.
