How to Recycle Dead Gadgets (Switched)

Apr 19th 2007 10:25PM How do you actually thoroughly erase the data in your hard drive to be sure no one can retrieve it. I have everything on my computer from shopping lists to social security number, bank accounts, credit card numbers, passcodes, etc. Thanks

Erectile Dysfunction could be life-saver (That's Fit)

Apr 16th 2007 8:54PM Hey, SJ (#45) --Great Idea. That works too. Self pleasure or woman/woman. =)

Erectile Dysfunction could be life-saver (That's Fit)

Apr 16th 2007 8:48PM First of all, my sympathy goes to all those men who have ED. Whether you are a man or woman, having the incompatiblity to have sex can really ruin relationships and self esteem. But it could be worse. Not having sex is not the end of the world, as there are many more severe disorders and/or diseases.

Ladies-- give your men a break. Besides as a woman myself, there are many other ways to satisfy without sex. Im sure if the male in your life could, he would choose to have things different. Besides, haven't you all ever heard of self pleasure. =) (HEHE) My ex boyfriend, who was 22 at the time, had the greatest sex drive of all time. Then he was having problems. I honestly thought it was me. When he realized that his problem was affecting my self esteem since I thought I was the problem, he agreed to go to the doctor. They ended up finding he had ED. Trust me, I had to learn to self please. HEHE

bhatanian---got any friends like yourself ;) HEHEH J/K

It's trendy to be a stay-at-home dad (ParentDish)

Apr 10th 2007 10:49PM Airwally1---about your comment---I have no doubt it was me and my attitude that caused the divorce... And maybe it was my own fault that he ended up drinking....it was his own irresponsiblity that led to him losing custody.

It's trendy to be a stay-at-home dad (ParentDish)

Apr 10th 2007 8:32PM Ok, for everyone commenting on my first comment (#18). I said the first things coming into my mind when I saw the stay at home dad blog. After reading more thoroughly, I read number 17 comments. Maybe it is not so much the gender, but the indivual themselves as both can be good parents, and both
sexes can be neglegent. I know someone said my comment may be criticizing the gay community as I said it is "gay " to be a stay at home father. That was my bad and I send apologies on my own behalf if I offended anyone with that comment as I am totally
supportive for the gay community. Aside that, everyone is posting comments on my attitude. As I said, my first comment was not as self explanitory as I would have liked it to be. I explained
myself more thoroughly in my other comments. I can
understand why so many men are against my comments.
However, I am NOT referring to single dads, hard working dads,disabled, men whos wives bring more income. My comment was NOT directed to you all. I commented on #22, #26,and #32. Read those too before you criticize me.

Here is my response to some individuals.
RickyCollects(#36). You are correct that I have degraded all men because of prior experience. I will also admit that you were right to tell me that
and that I should not be that way. I kinda feel that you did not read my other comments. I totally agree that is it fine to be a stay at home dad
other than the situations I am against as I stated in my comments. I support, 100% men being parents. They can do just as good a job as women. I was referring to your comment that I did not mean
to offend the gay community. If men, and/or women, can work in corporate or at home jobs and all that, then two thumbs up. My comment was not directed at people in your situation. Thank you.

Bill(#47)-#36 pinpointed why I can be as judging as I am to the male community. And yes, I know men can be just as nurturing. Not that my opinion matters to you, but I am sure as well as many of the other men, are great as parents as well as hard working. I am not saying it should or has to be one way or the other.

Danielle (#52)--FYI, my maternal and nurture skills involve respecting mankind, but to be a woman of power. Maybe my problem is that I have all girls and I am so in my own world of women since
I have never had to take care of a son. Although I am teaching my child to respect all of mankind, I am teaching her that she needs to be independent.
There is nothing wrong with that. Maybe with the way I stated my comment,I seem to come off as teaching them that all men are scum. But I have not.
It would not be fair for me to teach them based on my own negative experiences. However, I am teaching her that she does not need a man to succeed or support her. She can be her own in control without
the need of any male. And from the remark you made -Good luck on finding a new partner? That leads me to think that since you made that comment to me, that you probably feel a partner is the only way to be "complete." I dont know how old you
are...but in all respect, I am going to guess you might be older and wiser than me. But let me tell you something that alot of girls, even some
women into their 30's and 40's can not say. I am a single mom, 23 years old, 6 figure income, no day care, working less than 10 hrs a week. Does it seem like I need a partner. You bet I voted for Pres Bush? Well, I bet you are one of those high, prim and proper, church every sunday(nothing wrong with that by the way) soccer mom, kids can only be stable if they have both parents kind of person. On behalf of any single parent in here, you dont need a partner to have a well balanced child.

Teressa(#53)--you are right. I should not judge what is right and wrong for other families. What I can say to your comment is that I am not passing on my hatred of men to my children. I was simply responding I guess because I have seen many cases where the mother is in a 9-5. The dad is a stay at home dad, and yet the child lacks the proper care of essentials such as blankets, food, clothes.
That was the point of view I was commenting on before being more open minded that sometimes there are other reasons that families may decide for
the dad to stay at home. If it is for other reasons that what I just mentioned, I could care less
and honestly supportive of that.

Don(#58)--Great JOB!!

Michelle(#69)--I did apologize for the comment I made about "gay." My hostility is more of a result on bad experiences with men (never been married). As far as my welfare comment, my hostility on that is that I have seen many parents be stay at home parents, all while barely making ends meet because they dont want to work , and their child lacks essentials of daily life. My mom was a single mom, put me through college as well, was disabled, and in the same situation as your dad --no welfare or child support, all for except once which was $50. So I do apologize if my comment offended you and they upbringing your dad did. Sorry. Great job for your dad on raising 6!!

DMAPC (#62)--"teach them about vampires like Laura that want to have cake and eat it too..." FYI...."WANT". I DO get to have my cake and eat it
too!! Sounds to me like you are saying these bitches in your life got where they were because their husbands provided their lavish lifestyles.
I may be a naggin bitch that may drive men away, but guess what?? My new SUV, my fresh nails, my staying at home, my 6 figure income....no husband,
no boyfriend. I have earned all that on my own working my own business from home. That is what makes me different then those other bitch women in your life.

Apr 10th 2007 4:32PM John, If you had read my comments before you commented on my ignorance you would see I wasnt referring to the men like you. Quite frankly, in my own self defense, I would not be passing ignorance to my child. I am a single mom, just turned 23, make a 6 figure income from the privacy of my own home, have never left my child in daycare, depended on a man, or asked for welfare assitance. Not many people out there can say what I am saying about themselves. I think you can agree with me when I say I think I am very logical in saying that none of us would want that for our child. Imagine if you have a daughter, who will have to work to support her family while her husband/boyfriend sits on his ass being a "stay at home dad". If the female offers to do it, then that is fine. But for the man to suggest it while he sits at home on his ass, is beyond me and not right. I was in no way referring to people like you. In fact, I am referring to "boys" like my ex and even some of my cousins who are on welfare, with their girlfriends popping child after child, and shes hauling to bring home the money while he "brags" that he is a stay at home father. I know my ex and my cousin are not the only males like this, and my comment was directed at the males like them.

Apr 10th 2007 4:12PM I wrote a comment back on #18 and #22. Any men who think I am directing my comment to ALL stay at home dads or that I am insensitve, that is not the case. My comment is directed at ONLY those men who are acting like pansys, having the wife working and/or living off welfare, while the wife hauls her a** at work. I completely support the men who work (be it at home or corporate jobs) and raise their children because there is no mother for whatever reason. Bill (#21), I completely give u a two thumbs up for being active in your child/childrens school activity. I think more dads indeed need to be involved in the childs "mom" activities. I am simply fed up and pissed off with men who are "mr. moms" yet, they are on welfare or have the wife out in the work place. To any other men, do not take my comment to the personal level.

Apr 10th 2007 3:59PM I wrote a comment back (#18). To all of you men who, as hard as it may be, leave your wife and children to bring in the money and provide and work long strenuous hours putting up with S*** from your boss, I completely give you my two thumbs up. My comment was made only to those men who would rather be the "the wife" in the relationship.

It's trendy to be a stay-at-home dad (ParentDish)

Apr 10th 2007 3:52PM Stay At Home Dad?? Mr. Mom?? PUH--LEEEZZZEEE. How gay is that. LIke we need any more help screwing up the kids of our generation. Stay at home dads are excused only IF the mom is also a stay at home parent, and only IF they are not on welfare. But for the dad to be at home while the wife works---proves the man has no balls and lets the woman wear the pants in the relationship. What happened to the women being at home. Men should be the ones out bringing home the money, not the women. Even if both parents do work, that is still excusable. Men dont know how to raise a child any better than they can wipe their own a**. My husband and I are divorced for this very matter. We were both working, I ended up pregnant. He agreed he would work, Id stay at home. Then came up with the stupid idea to ask if he could be the stay at home parent and I could continue working since I was bringing in more income. We got in a dispute. Ended up separating. Apparantely the separation drove him to drinking, drug abuse. Just the reason to have a custody battle. We had a court hearing twice, he never showed up, I got full custody, and his rights were terminated. MEN---or should I say pansy mama's boys---get your butt off the couch and go work. Unless you can give birth to a child and handle 9 months of pregnancy, you all have no "maternal" and nurturing skills to shape the children of our future.

Angelina Adopts Vietnamese Boy (AOL Video Blog)

Mar 16th 2007 12:06AM Talk about wanting attention. Angelina is so ignorant. What the hell is she doing adopting kids from foreign countries----there are PLENTY of kids in the USA who need loving homes. She's so desperate for attention and so obsessed with adopting foreigners that she didnt deserve to have such a perfect child as Shiloh. Im not saying she's unfit. But you'd think that after she brought a child into this earth (which alot of women can not do as they have trouble conceiving)she'd take it as a sign from the Lord that her body was meant for child bearing and Shiloh would've completed her. I used to love Angelina....after adopting all those kids, I can't stand her. Kids from all races and countries are adorable. But seriously, we are in AMERICA!! America is what is making her rich, just so she can use her fame and riches to go "buy" children from other countries. Does she have any idea how embarassing it will be when her kids start school. She's got kids from all around the world that it looks like a litter of mixed breed puppies.
