What's important to you at your age?

I'm in my late twenties and I'd say family and fulfillment are my top two.

Manufacturing more patience to do my job well. Designing my present life so there is peace. Avoiding annoying people outside of work (I can't avoid them at work). Having quiet time to myself. Counting my blessings. Drawing up new personal rules when the above doesn't work well enough.

I love it. Your words seem to bring me back to some sort of normalcy...

Rathkeale, I couldn't agree more.

Really? It must be because I am familiar.
I've been thinking about you and your new situation. I have a long, medically complicated background and have managed to have a pretty normal life anyway. Try to see this new challenge as an inconvenience: now you have to go to the store more often, measure medicine, be sure, eat all the time, be more scheduled. Inconvenience -- not tragedy. You still have a good life and a spouse in the house and a house to have a spouse in. Get it?

Got it! Yeah, my doctor basically said the same thing and that I have to "graze" all day. Makes feel like a cow.
Report as
I spent some time on my childhood friend Ruthie's farm. A calf was born just before I arrived on Friday. A boy. They named him Brenda. Brenda is a beautiful cow. Keep grazing.

Well.. That's the problem your having. Your controlling your daughter's life and I suggest that you don't control her life. She'll hate you in the future.

I'm glad she is doing well :D

"She'll hate you in the future."

Sure she will. *rolls eyes* My kids have never forgiven me for teaching them how to read and do simple arithmetic. If I was a good parent I would've set them in front of the TV and wished them the best of luck.

IGO...how old are you??
He's a father of two kids and he wants his daughter to be something big when she grows up like a doctor and she'll thank him for raising her like that.
Being good at school and having your parents to check on you every time isn't controlling but it's protecting and caring.
I hope you understand that :)

iGo has issues. She answered a question saying she get's 800 bucks a week, then called me poor because I don't get an allowance or have that much money. Needless to say, she needs to pick on people to make herself feel good. ;o
Report as
And makes herself look kinda silly.
Report as
Sure does!
Report as
I'm sure iGo would be mad if she read these comments of intellectual partners gossiping about people. But hey, haterz are haterz. And that's what makes the world go round. But hey, iGo don't neet friends to back her up. She can back herself up. I'm done
