Talk

Ok so my boyfriend of 5mths has broken up with me after saying that he felt like we were just friends in the end of the relationship. I also believe that he was bored with being in the relationship and with the sex and he felt that I was too clingy. I do know I was clingy and I can see that now. It’s my first real relationship (actual one where I actually saw something in the other guy. I feel like he’s the one. Hes done some bad stuff and had a hard life but I see right through that and I don’t mind.) As for the bored bit. I want to let him know that I am willing to try different/new things in the relationship if we were to get together again. But I feel that if I speak to him about anything it will push him away and he will think I just want to get back with him. That’s true, but I am also happy with being friends. Not as happy, but to still have him in my life would be still good.

At the moment I believe that we are friends and since we broke up last week we have been contact at least once every 2 days never more that 1 day of not some contact. I want to give him space but at the moment he will text me about something random like, did u move that CD in my room. I still feel like hes keeping a hold which makes it hard for me to let go if hes not all gone. If you get what I mean. I know we need space away from each other. But I don’t want him to walk away knowing that I am willing to try these things and discuss the relationship.

I have made a DVD of me talking so he can see me talking to him when he wants to and knowing that he dosnt have to answer straight away. I have not given this to him yet, because of the whole giving him space thing. At the moment im just wondering whats on his mind so I can know where I stand. But understand the need for space. Im just the kind of guy who needs things done straight away and he’s the kind that needs to think about things for a bit. He’s had a tough time with breakups and so is a bit more reserved and less emotional where as I will ball my eyes out and tell him everything im feeling, but usually in a letter.

I hope you respond. I really need help. I don’t know what to do and dont want it to go to late in case he slips through my fingers and I loose him for good.

Let me know if u want more information.
Cheers

I feel your pain, but I think it’s best for both of you to stop relating to each other as the lovers you once were. In fact, from my personal experience, it’s best you don’t see him at all, at least for awhile. This is the only way you can have some objectivity in seeing where you "went wrong" (not that we’re looking for blame here), if you’re still seeing each other once every 2 days, then it will be hard to move on from here on out.

You might think that this is so painful a suggestion, and you might even think me cruel for suggesting it. But I’ve been through this, and one thing I’ve learned is that no matter what happens in life, we have to be happy and content with just being by and for ourselves, period. Our happiness need not depend on someone giving us the permission to feel it, we need to say to ourselves "I deserve to be loved for who I am, and I will be happy with who I am no matter what happens".

It may hurt, in the short term. But personal growth will not be possible with so much emotional baggage weighing you down. think of this opportunity to start afresh. If you view it this way, it can be an exhilirating, exciting time for you. Above all, I wish you happiness whatever you decide to do, and the courage to live life on your own terms.

Cheers to you. You deserve love and happiness.

Full Title: Straight Talk to Strengthen Delivery in the Water Services Sector

This 15 minute in two part video summarises the findings of The Water Dialogues – South Africa process, and is based on the synthesis report of the same name. Produced by Liane Greeff with editorial support from Mary Galvin, the Coordinator of The WD-SA.

The Water Dialogues-South Africa (WD-SA) is a national multi-stakeholder dialogue process and research project analysing the role of the public and private sectors in the delivery of universal water and sanitation in the country. See: http://www.waterdialogues.org/south-africa/

The aim was to examine how the choice of water services provider from public to private– affected the delivery of water and sanitation in very different municipal contexts. Were they able to deliver effective, equitable, and sustainable water supply and sanitation, provided affordably to all? These chapters are based on the DVD entitled ‘Enhancing Delivery through Dialogue’ which captured the process, and outcomes of The Water Dialogues South Africa, and visited six of the eight case studies where in-depth research was undertaken.

All music provided by Roy MacGregor. Filming was undertaken by both Roy and Liane, and photographs came from a broad range of sources who are credited at the end of the video.

There is no one I can talk to but something happened recnetly that tore my world apart.
My partner and I were planning a trip , looked some info we hadabout the place we were visiting, to check for some hotels(a place close to our hearts and special to us )
In the middle of it which was in my partners bike tank bag, I discovered 4 hard core and amateur type sex DVD’s, not soft porn. It was like a slap in the face and although we are ok, I cant stop analysing it when I’m alone and its tearing me apart.
He cut them straight up and said he didnt need them – I said he shouldnt if he wanted them I could accept that he wanted to watch them sometimes, and although I wouldnt really like it – I would deal with it.

He said a guy was giving them away here he was working last year, and he took a few as they were on offer as he was curious- can I believe him or did he seek them out!
I am 8 years older than him, and now doubt my appeal – I am also not a prude re sex so why did he need porn

If he’s not being funny since breaking the dvds chillout. have a look at some porn yourself… Maybe he got them because everyone else in his work was buying them and he didn’t want to lose face? It’s possible. That said, anything that makes you review your sexuality is a good thing. Have you made love since finding them? Maybe this is just the first time in 8 years you’ve found his porn… talk to him. You’ll be right. Good luck.

Hi everyone,

I have to do about a half our presentation on the Irish Rebellion of 1798 and could use some video’s so that I don’t talk for like 20 minutes straight, then answer questions. Does anyone know where I can find some? I would prefer using online videos but if I have to buy a DVD thats okay too.

Thanks in advance,
Boyo
I have read a book and online articles, I just want something to intrigue people instead of hearing me talk for 20 min straight, all I want is like 10 minutes of video lol.

well think about it WWE is getting retarded admit it they talk MOST of the time and when they wrestle there matches are no long then 5 Min’s
and do inteven get me started with ECW that’s just straight up stupid.

Now i used to be a wrestling freak and i own ALL the wrestlmainia dvd’s so you know i love wrestling but now i cant even watch WWE anymore with out getting bored

I Watch TNA

if you think WWE is retarded then stop complaining and whining.
for me, WWE is entertaining. if WWE is not entertaining to you, why complain? just watch TNA and ask some TNA questions..

Note* This is really just as a joke. Here are my suggestions….

‘Dead and Loving it part 2′ starring The Undertaker and Lesley Neilson with Gilbert Godfrey as The Undertaker’s talking hat.

‘High Heels and Protein Shakes; The Glamazon’s Tale’ starring Beth Phoenix, Santino Marella, RuPaul, and Jamie Lee Curtis

‘Winning by a Nose; The Face of Hunter Hurst Helmsley’ starring HHH, Woodie Allen, and Adrien Brodie as ‘grown up Pinnocchio’

‘Overdressed and Overcompensatin” starring Chris Jericho, Chris Jericho’s 3 piece suits, Dane Cook, and William Shatner (music video by Nellie)

‘Supersize Me…..Again’ starring The Big Show, Rosie O’Donnell with Godzilla, Ronald McDonald, and Vicki Geurrero

‘Why the Long Face?’ starring Mickie James, Mickie James’ big face, Mr.Ed, and Eddie Murphy (as the voice of ‘Willie Nillie’ the loveable animated Horse)

These movies will all go straight to DVD and will be found in the 3 dollar bin at Wal-Mart next to ‘Ghost Dad’ and ‘Cheaper by the Dozen 2′

Donkey Kong The Movie starring The Silverback Mark Henry

420 In Jamaica starring Kofi Kingston and Snoog Dogg as his talking dog that gets high

Im talking about movies that looked really entertaining on the preview, or just the hype about them, and when you saw it, they were horrible.

I got a few.

Tropic Thunder. Some big names in it, but didn’t cause any big laughs.

Strange Wilderness. This was a big hit and miss for having Adam Sandler behind it. Plus there was actually funny actors that starred in it, but to no luck failed.

The Punisher sequel. I actually feel asleep to it. What happened?

Carlito’s way: rise to power. Remind me not to buy straight to DVD films ever again.

The DaVinci Code…
All the right subject matter was there, but the presentation was pretentious and contrived. Also, Dan Brown plagiarised ALL his ideas for this story from Baigent, Lincoln and Lee. I think it’s all stuff worth consideration, but doesn’t translate well to film.

Timeline…
The book by Michael Crichton was sooooooo much fun, well-written, exciting and adventurous and does just what you expect from a good novel…doesn’t allow you to put it down and makes you easily feel as if you are right there in the story.
Some extremely key elements of the book were ignored in the movie, the acting and directing were equally lifeless…and I resent the director for this because I know it likely has turned people away from reading the novel.

Solaris (2002 version)…
My favorite film of all time is the original Russian 1972 version of Solaris, directed by Andrei Tarkovsky. It’s the most original and beautiful and mesmerizing "film experience" and to me it will never get old no matter how many repeat viewings.
This movie introduced things not in the book at all. Actually, the book’s beginning occurs 45 minutes into the film. Also, there were some occurences set on the planet in the book, which were entirely omitted in the film. Even the central theme was altered. Despite all this, it WORKED in a way it otherwise may not have.
Sodergergh’s updated version attempted to remake the first film almost shot-for-shot, rather than taking the chance to translate the original story. (Why do something exactly the same, but with sub-par actors and lifeless direction?) All the actors were very, very poorly cast. Ultimately pointless effort. Cronenberg should have done it!

90 percent of all release shooting archers believe that proper follow-through means that they must try to keep their pin on the target after the shot. This leads to poor technique. The very best archers always let the shot “explode”. They know that trying to keep their pin on the target at the moment of the release demands that they relax the bow arm at the exact moment of the shot. They know that this tactic will lead to flinching under pressure which is one of the most common and visible symptoms of target panic.

Rain suddenly poured down as I was walked back to my house. I didn’t bring an umbrella with me. Perfect. I zipped up my Nike jacket and ran as fast as I could. I was only a few meters away, and as fate would have it, the heel from my new L.K. Bennett boot broke. And I went crashing down on the pavement with a splash. “Damn, damn, damn!” I muttered. This is really not my day. Luckily, no one was around to witness my fall. That would have been so embarrassing. I collected the rest of my dignity and hobbled back home. As I entered the house, drenched from head to toe, I kicked my stupid boots off and put it in the shoe cupboard. In the living room, I saw my mom watching EastEnders. She’s totally addicted to that show. I bet if the house was on fire, she’d save the DVD of it. I tiptoed noiselessly until I reached my room. I certainly don’t want her questioning me about my appearance. I closed the door shut, unzipped my wet jacket and put it in the laundry bin. I stopped to look at the mirror. Sh*t, I look horrible. My usually straight blond hair was all tangled up. My face was wet, and so were my clothes. I got a towel, wiped my face, and quickly grabbed some clean clothes. I ran to the bathroom and slammed the door. I hurriedly bathed, dressed and combed my hair. Now I look more decent. I went downstairs to let my mom acknowledge my presence. Until now, she’s still glued to the damn tube.
“Hi, mom.” I said. Finally, she looked up to see my face. “Hi, honey! You’re home? I didn’t see or hear you come in.” Yes, you didn’t, because your eyes were on the television. One of these days I’m going to disconnect that set and throw it out the window.
“How was your walk?” She asked.
“Fine. It suddenly rained and I had to run back to the house.” I wasn’t going to tell her about the heel episode. “Oh, did you take a bath? I don’t want you to get sick, hon.” She pressed pause and looked at me with concern. “Yes, I took a bath. I’m fine. Don’t worry about it.” When my mom gets worried about me over the littlest things, it drives me over the edge. I sometimes have to say “I’m fine” about a hundred times.
I was about to head for the kitchen for a snack when my mom called me. “Athena, I almost forgot, your dad called to ask if you’re available on Saturday. He wants to take you to that new mall in Riverview.” I stopped short. My relationship with my dad isn’t what you’d call great or close. My parents divorced when I was six. I’d always hear shouts, doors slamming, my mom crying…It was a terrible time. My mom left my dad and took me with her. I grew up understanding these things. My mom’s side is a pretty rich family, so we weren’t the kind who lived from one place to another until we finally settled down. Riches don’t go into my mother’s head, and we live in a big house, but no maids and no pool. My mom was brought up to be disciplined, thank God for that. I love the ordinary upbringing. When you flaunt your riches, guarantee that you’ll get no friends at all. Now, my mom’s pretty cool with dad. She doesn’t like to talk about him, though. Only if it concerns me. “Athena?” My mind snapped back to the present. “Are you available?” She prompted. “No,” I replied. “I have a project to do.”
“Okay, then.” Luckily, my mom’s too good so she believes my lies easily. She went back to watching her show. I continued heading for the kitchen to fix myself a snack. I love peanut butter and banana sandwiches, like Elvis. When I really need one and we ran out of peanut butter, bananas, or bread, I sometimes go mad. I even ran 6 blocks to the deli just to buy the necessary ingredients. My mother thinks I’m a lunatic when it comes to PB and banana sandwiches, but I can say the same for her obsession with EastEnders.

It’s not yet done, she’s still working on it. What do you think? She’s 12 by the way.

Its written very fine indeed but hard to judge as it lacks some cohesion aparently twisting between a diary entry and a docu drama, but given the whole chapter to look at it would probably rate quite highly. She’s got an obvious talent.
