True confession time. I've been faking something with my husband for 14 years!

[Haole Girl]

I really, really, really do not like Sci Fi!

Not even Battlestar Galactica. ;-)

Any confession(s) you'd like to share?

:shrug:

[Generic Brad]

1. I used to eat Reese's Peanut Butter Cups for breakfast

It is not the breakfast of champions.

[Haole Girl]

2. ROFL!

It might be for chocoholic champions!! :D :hi:

[Basileus Basileon]

68. Reeses? For *breakfast?*

[Breeze54]

3. Do you really want to know?

Ok... I really, really want my kid to move out and I know he's not ready yet...

but I AM!!!

:cry: . :grr:

[Haole Girl]

5. Aww..

That sounds really tough. Hugs for you... :hug: :hug: :hug:

[Breeze54]

7. I needed that... thanks.

He told me to "get the hell out of my room" tonight. :grr:

That isn't like him and I almost told him to "get the hell out of MY house!"

But I stopped myself and a little while later he apologized.

But I still want him to go.... I've done my job. It's time for him to fly.

[Haole Girl]

8. My mother kicked us all out at 18.

She told us if any of us wanted to live with her, after that, we could pay rent. But, I've been told that since times are different, children live with their parents a lot longer now. I don't envy the position you're in... not at all.

[Breeze54]

18. That's the problem right there!

He's supposed to be paying rent but is unwilling to hand over the cash, hence the "get the hell out of my room"
because for the 5th time, I asked if he had brought it home yet! I need the money. Sorry but as it says on
your car son, "Nobody rides for free!" :P

[Haole Girl]

20. Ok. If he's not paying rent...

..he has to go. He is not learning the lessons of life by staying rent free. Good luck. :hug:

[Dystopian]

12. That's so tough....

When I wanted mine to leave...I missed them when they were gone...
But they'd always come back.
I've had almost a year of no kids, and now, for a while..heeeeeee's baaaaaaack!
Don't you love the way it's "My room!"
I heard that so many times...at least he apologized.
Isn't this the one who brought home milk and TP?
Oh the ups and downs of motherhood...
You need a hug:hug:

peace~

[Breeze54]

19. Yeah, it's the same one. TP & milk.

He just doesn't want to pay his way here. He still thinks I should be supporting him, I guess.
But I'm not rich and money is tight and I'm not asking for that much per week, at all. But he
did finally go get the cash and he did apologize, so I forgave him but I won't tolerate being
yelled at in my own home, by my own child! No way in hell will that fly!

[caty]

44. The reason he said

that to you is because he "needs" to get his own place. Even he knows it is time to go. Maybe he just needs a little help. Can you afford to help him with the security deposit and a little furniture?

[sam sarrha]

43. have him get a job and save it all or he never will leave

[LeftyMom]

4. This may come as a shock to flvegan, but

I never liked HipWhip. :(

[Haole Girl]

6. Whoa! Do I want to ask?

Naw.. I'll take your word for it, that

um.. that ... is ... um ...

not good. :hug:

[LeftyMom]

11. It's like cool whip but vegan. They don't make it anymore.

It's an injoke.

[Haole Girl]

13. Thanks

I did get curious and googled it! lol

[jeff30997]

9. Lol! Look what I found on the kitty pics thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x7167395

[Haole Girl]

10. Ha-ha!!

My husband keeps turning around, looking at me, to see if I'm watching Battlestar!! I sort of look like that kitty about now! LOL!

:rofl:

[BlueJazz]

14. Well... Obviously, you haven't been faking your love for him.

:) :) :)

[Haole Girl]

16. That's sweet!

:-)

[Swede]

15. I'm really a Canadian.

Ethnically a Swede,however. :hi:

[Haole Girl]

17. I did not know that!

:hi:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

21. my confession--

I married twice for the wrong reason. Big mistake both times.

[Haole Girl]

23. Now I'm curious...

..but I don't want to be intrusive.

Hope they didn't end too badly. :hug:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

27. meh --

twice divorced, twice as shy and twice as suspicious :D

thanks for the hug. Amazing how, when it is sincerely given, it does warm the heart:hug:

[Haole Girl]

28. It was sincere

It's not a bad thing to be suspicious, as long as you allow yourself to love - too - you know? :hug:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

29. I really don't think it is in the cards for me

of course, it ain't over til its over. ;)

[Nevernose]

32. Divorce is the inverseof sex and/or pizza

No matter how it ends up, it's always bad.

There's no such thing as being "married twice for the wrong reason." There's just two or more (really big) lessons to be learned. I assure you, you can be both a cynic and an optimist at the same time.

And you can always do what I do: whenever I get lonely, which is not that often even when I'm by myself, I just remember that person, think about what it was like to be with them, and say to myself: "I'd rather be lonely every single minute of every single day for the rest of all eternity than to spend one more minute with them."

It works as a mantra, too.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

34. well said and amen.

I guess I should explain that I think 'love' should be the reason to marry. And, in a way I did have love for both of them...I have learned there are many kinds of love. I want the kind that endures. Thanks for the kind words. It really means a lot.

[TK421]

22. You made me click on this thread....you MADE me do it!!!!12213

Not a Sci-Fi fan? I don't know if your marriage will survive...good luck :D

[Haole Girl]

24. I can't believe you said that to me....

..I'm sitting here watching this stupid show... for 2 f-ing (or should I say "fraking") hours!! I might have to have a TK421 size temper tantrum about now!! grrr!! j/k ;-) :hi:

[TK421]

31. Careful, now...or I'll have to kick a stroller or two in YOUR name

:D

[Haole Girl]

40. Noooooo!

:-(

[Connonym]

35. now see, I love BSG so much I was willing to watch it

*with* commercial interruptions and everything tonight. But you know, it's very sweet that you humor him by watching and understand that it's important to him to share something like that with you. Hardly anyone I know IRL watches BSG and it's a show I'd really love to watch and discuss with someone. You're a good woman KC2

[Haole Girl]

37. Thank you for saying that

It means a lot to me... really! :-) :hug:

[Manifestor_of_Light]

25. I have a science nerd for a gentleman friend.

And he is most definitely NOT into sci-fi, thank Cthulhu!!!

He's into H P Lovecraft, which is more mystery or horror. Well written stuff.

Esp. "The Color Out of Space".

[Haole Girl]

26. Mystery of horror?

Sounds scary!! eeek!

[Nevernose]

30. That's one of my faves; King's "Tommyknockers" was essentially an ode to it

Supposedly there's an "At the Mountains of Madness" movie in the works, but who knows how things will end up with the WGA strike?

[orleans]

33. i drink milk with pizza n/t

[Haole Girl]

38. Ick

That just doesn't sound good. :P

[FloridaJudy]

36. I can't stand Bob Dylan's voice

Some of his music was pretty good, but his voice? Ouch. Bring me my Ibuprofen and a bag of ice. :yoiks:

I do like Science Fiction, but most TV SF is really lame.

[Haole Girl]

39. Shhhh!

Not so loud.

graywarrior may hear you!

;-)

[FloridaJudy]

69. Weird. My ex had the same reaction to Leonard Cohen's voice

Whom I adored. He was a Dylan guy.

Needless to say, we played a lot more Dylan than Cohen. Women are brought up to be considerate.

[graywarrior]

53. Now you've done it.

:hi:

[Xipe Totec]

41. I've never understood this

why do women feel they need to fake liking something?

would your husband not be your husband now, if you'd said you hated sci fi?

I'm curious. :shrug:

[Haole Girl]

42. Probably not!

This is one of the big things in his life... for entertainment. I still haven't told him, completely, though he's catching on about how much I hate it. ;-) I really don't think he would have thought we were as good of a match, per se, if I'd admitted how much I detest it. That might just be my low self esteem talking... who knows, for certain...

It's not really like I lied. I just didn't openly object when he'd want to watch Sci Fi. Though, I must admit, it's starting to wear on me... over the years. :-(

[Xipe Totec]

45. Men love women for who they are

and don't want them to change.

Women like men for who they can become.

and don't want them to stay the same.


It is a miracle we can make a life together.


peace.

[Haole Girl]

47. I've heard this before. I knew it well...long before I married.

And, trust me when I tell you this, I have never been foolish enough to try to change a man (as foolish as I may be)! ;-)

[bigwillq]

46. I had a bad habit of stealing

baseball cards from the local Woolworth's when I was younger. Never got caught by the police.
An employee caught us but we would buy 1 or 2 packs and get a recipit so when she asked we just showed the recent. We would only keep the cards we wanted so we wouldn't have to try and sneak hundreds of cards in our pockets or coats.

[Haole Girl]

48. Reminds me of when I was in 3rd grade...

I found an entire packet of free skating tickets at the rink. When I turned them in, the guy at the window said, "I want you to keep those-- and always remember that honesty pays." I did, too. Less than a few weeks or months later (I can't remember the exact amount of time) my best friend asked me to steal a package of chewing gum from the drug store. I wouldn't do it. When I was an adult, I took a test to work at a retail store. One of the questions was, "Do you think you are too honest to steal." I had a difficult time answering that since I've never stolen anything. Yeah, I know, that might sound weird. But I honestly think it was that man at the roller skating rink who did it to me!! lol

Isn't it funny how just one person can impact another person's life to a great degree? :hi:

[NewJeffCT]

65. I did that once as a kid, too

It was a pack of football cards, though, and the one on top was OJ Simpson. It was also a woolworth's in CT.

No wonder they're no longer in business...

[Cabcere]

49. When I was younger, I wanted to be all sorts of "practical" things when I grew up

(like a veterinarian, a journalist, etc.), but now that I'm getting to the point of being "grown up," I want to be a rock star. :crazy: Most kids have it the other way around, but not me...that would've been too easy. :eyes:

[Haole Girl]

50. Really?

Are you doing things to pursue your music career? I think it's great! Good luck!! :hi:

[Cabcere]

55. Well, I'm not really "serious" about it - more of a pipe dream, really.

My best friend and I always talk about how cool it would be to form a band and go on tour and stuff, but in actuality I don't have the talent. (My friend does - she's a pretty good singer and has done well in local contests and stuff, but my singing is pretty much strictly limited to the car when I'm driving alone, lol. ;)) Some crazy part of me still wants to give it a shot, but as for a "real" career...I have no idea. :shrug: Thanks for your kind words, though! :hug: :hi:

[graywarrior]

51. I can't get enough of America's Next Top Model

I'll watch re-runs over and over and over and I don't know why.

[Haole Girl]

52. That is the most shocking confession yet!

:wow:

:rofl:

[graywarrior]

54. The other night I stayed up til 1 am watching ANTM and flipped back and forth

between that, Rock of Love with the Poison band guy, some show about the next best photographer. Then I watched the Smartest Model and A Shot of Love with Tila Tequila, which I fucking HATE but I watch it anyhow. I am really really sick.

[Haole Girl]

56. No you're not!

:hug:

What's sick is watching "House Hunters" and "Designed to Sell" until 3 a.m., like I used to do when I worked the late shift! lol

[graywarrior]

57. I'll watch those, too til 3 am when I have to get up at 6:15

I even watch those goofy What Not To Wear shows. I gain NOTHING from them....except a daylong crankiness that I'm too embarrassed to explain to my co-workers.

[Haole Girl]

58. Oh... I get a big kick out of the What Not To Wear shows!

I find myself purposely looking for those things in my closet...just to piss off people who care about that shallow crap! lol :crazy:

[graywarrior]

59. I love "reject" shows when they have "only one trinket" left but two contestants

I'll watch hour upon hour of Top Model KNOWING who got thrown off just to watch them get thrown off again.

And I love to criticize the makeover at the end of the What Not to Wear shows. Some of them look worse. And my closet embarresses the fuck out of Mr. Gray.

[Haole Girl]

60. ROFL!

It is hilarious when the make over turns out worse.

We are a couple of sick puppies, you know that?!! LOL!

:rofl:

[graywarrior]

61. Proud sick puppies!

I have to say my favorite part of any of those Find Me a Girlfriend/Boyfriend shows is the tongue kissing that goes on between the Picker and the Pick Me's. There is nothing so nauseating in the entire world to watch, and yet, there I am on the edge of my puke seat soaking it ALL in.

[FloridaJudy]

66. Makeovers *always* turn out worse!

In those bloody fashion magazines they have at the hairdresser. Before, they looked like real people. After: Yuck! Plastic Tarts or Corporate Clones.

I don't have a TV, but I confess the getting really hooked on Extreme Makeover: Home Addition while I was on vacation. Though watching that hyper guy could be exhausting on a regular basis.

[rbnyc]

62. I just shared mine.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=7171402&mesg_id=7171402

No one will touch it. I should probably be glad.

[Haole Girl]

63. Aww...

I'll go kick it for you! :hi:

[rbnyc]

64. You're too cool.

It was nice to go see you weren't the very first.

BTW, I LOVE lasagna.

[asdjrocky]

67. For a year after seeing Jesus Christ Super Star...

I was convinced I was the second coming. Much to my Jewish mothers embarrassment.

[Mythsaje]

70. At least I know MY wife isn't faking it...

She likes sci-fi.

Well, fantasy and paranormal, anyway.

Neither of us watch Battlestar Galactica, though.
