Why do women get very jealous?

Monday, July 21st, 2008


I remember in high school which was like 5 years ago that I was often teased and made fun by some of the popular girls because I was nerdy, overweight, and quiet. When I went to college I started to lift weights and train and made my college football team. Just this April I was drafted in the 3rd round of the nfl and is now in a relationship with a popular actor and model from my hometown who I attended college with. When I came back home and rejected those same girls offer and they saw me with girlfriend they seemed to be upset and jealous. Yet five years ago they did not think I was much of anything.

 

Do you care? I wouldn’t, if I were you. Let them be jealous. They aren’t a part of your life anymore. Maybe they worked really hard and made themselves (as well as u) miserable because they thought it would make their lives good but it didn’t. Now I guess they wish they had at least had more fun and been nicer, and maybe they would have had a fun, nicer life. Maybe it upsets them because they thought of you 5 years ago and thought they would have much better lives than u but u ended up w/ the good life. Enjoy it!

Where is your family making cuts to pay for gas?

Saturday, June 7th, 2008

 

Eating out less, less clothing purchases and fewer trips everywhere!!!

——

Three years ago, I remember complaining to a friend about how the cost of a box of smokes had doubled in the last year. The standard answer I recieved was “Stop crying, and quit smoking:

Last week that same friend mentioned the rising cost of gas. As I lit up a smoke, I replied, “stop crying, and quit driving”

I spend no more for gas now then I did two years ago. I drive a lot less, but I spend the same per week as I used to.

Look at where you go, and why. combine trips.
After work, hit the grocery store, book store, whatever.

Use each trip to it’s fullest. I no longer go shopping because we need out of the house. Unless it is required, or life or death, the car sits.

——

Well, my husband’s employer pays for his gas(thank god because he does a lot of driving). And I don’t work so basically I just don’t go as many places as I used to. If I do have to run errands or something I just group them all together and do everything in one trip. I’ve had to make a few sacrifices but nothing big.

——–

we walk to places that are close and combine trips (I grocery shop on my way home from work). Before I started this job, I also carpooled regularly at my last job. This is a minor savings, but we also got rid of our gas mower for a manual lawn mower.
