Guest guest Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 My parents never hit me for it, but they would make me sit there until I ate it.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 I've heard that. My mom was born and raised in Venezuela and came from a fairly wealthy family her thing was that she was a new mom and thought I would die if I didn't eat. Now in her older years she knows what she did was wrong but that's happened maybe in the last 2 or 3 years. When I had my son she wanted me to force feed him and I was like no he'll eat when he's hungry my son was like 1 1/2 or 2. Blows my mind. --- Dora McCary wrote: > My parents never hit me for it, but they would make > me sit there until I ate it.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 That's all that really matters. Been around extremely handsome men (didn't care for them too much. Very vain), been around men with money (always worried about making more of it and were obsessed with it) and ones who were good people, treated others with respect and had big hearts. I take one over any of the other two. Long time no > > > write! > > > > > > > > > > > > Hello gang, > > > > > > > > It's been a while just living life.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Yes that he is. I hope that we make it through this surgery though I was reading that sometimes it can break up a couple. --- " Guthrie,Eileen " wrote: > That's all that really matters.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Hi Dora, Listen don't you worry you will get your date and begin an exciting new chapter in your life. Are you currently lossing weight? As for your hubby I think it's great when you have unconditional support. I hope one day to meet someone with the same values. Right now I'm just meeting fools!

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 Dawn, I am currently trying to loose weight through my work with a dietician. I have not lost much but I am trying. You will find that right person for you one day. I never thought I would find someone to love me with my weight but I was wrong. Toss the fools, you deserve better than that.
