They gave her a medicine for the mouth blisters that totally numbs her tongue - now she can't say the word without really making it worse than it already sounds. It is going to take a few more days but hopefully the benedryl will keep her sleeping through most of it. Thanks for the good wishes. I will pass them to her - she thinks my "forums" are nothing more than women like me with OCD about wall colors - she doesn't appreciate the need for 16 samples of color on the walls. There is hope for her yet, but again thanks for the well wishes. pesky1, I very rarely laugh out loud with books, movies, tv etc. but I had a gutteral laugh out loud for poor Dickie B, hee-hee. Shoot those parents.

OK ladies...I need some help here. I am not married, but have been in a relationship for 14 months and we live together. I have had a problem in the past of sending suggestive messages to women online. Recently I sent a message to a girl I knew from a bar that I used to go to alot. Haven't seen this girl in probably 2 years or more maybe and were just friends and not very good friends at that. One day while she was away with her daughter at a gymnastics meet, I sent a suggestive message...which was never answered...My GF has looked through my phone on several occasions looking at who I talk to (when we first started seeing each other I was chatting with an old friend I hadnt seen for 20 years...I was very wrong in what I did there and it stopped well before she ever found it on my phone) I have messaged friends and said things that she thought suggestive and I should have worded my responses better. for instance, a friend was at a bar drinking and instead of saying as she says, I am with mhy GF I can't, I said wish I cold join you, but maybe another time. I honestly didnt mean anything by that as we had only been friends and that was it. another instance was I am in fantasy football and one of my leagues there is a girl, a friend for over 2 years and she has been seeing a friend of mine. she was new to the sport last few years and often texted me for advice. Once week while I was going to play versus her team, I reponded 'I'm gonna eat you up" - I am a former semi pro footbal player and that's just how trash talk goes...meant nothing suggestive at all...in hindsight, I now see that maybe my responses could have been much different. the message the day of the gymnastics meet was back in October...I haven't done anything since then but she still constantly monitors my facebook messaging. I honestly have not been chatting with anyone at all. I rarely even get on there at all. she see my messnger getting logged into and will send me messages to see if I will respond. sometimes I never get them because I am not even on there, or I will get them much later and respond to her. I just thought that my chat being logged in on FB was the reason. come to find out it is the Messenger App that has always been logged into on my conmputer and on my phone....I NEVER use it..but because of the thing last Oct...she doesnt believe anything I say and is even questioning a long lunch I had with my boss where we we drinking...which is what I told her I was doing. Please, please what can I do...she is going to leave me and she is newly pregnant with my child and I love her so much..I need help to try and get her to let me back in and re-gain her trust.. I am just lost and so sorry for all I have done wrong to her. but I really do love her and want to Marry her. I have been true to her 100% except the messages I spoke of and maybe a few others that I unintentionally said the wrong thing.... HELP!!!

My life-style and appearance is the total opposite of hers, but I will say she is creative - and consistent in her art, ad art it is. One sure meets a lot of different folks on these quotation pages. (smiling)

Not "clueless" at all! I am very familiar with the Gladney agency in Ft Worth. It's the agency many, many people would like to use (and I know people who have). So many that they no longer put how many applied and how many were accepted to adopt, and how long it took, on their web site (they used to do so). But the statistic that IS there is that in 2017, they placed only 128 infants through their "Domestic" program, and that includes children of ALL races. About 15 years ago, that figure was in the mid-300's. That is what is happening today. For a white couple wanting a healthy white infant (and is that really so wrong?), it has become very difficult to find a baby to adopt, especially through an agency that does all the very important checks of family and birth mother. Many couples do private adoptions but they may be fraught with peril, both legally and otherwise. And many of these are really just "buying" a baby as the birth mother suddenly needs "living expenses" that would allow her to live in the Carlyle Hotel in NYC during her entire pregnancy. I fully understand why many looking to adopt do not want a child of a race other than their own (it does come with problems FOR THE CHILD at some point - I know people who have done this), nor do they want a foreign child. A few years ago, Russian babies were in great demand - they looked "european" and they were available quickly. They were in demand until these babies started showing signs of fetal alcohol syndrome. Utter disaster! More and more young people are delaying marriage and children until they are not really young, they are middle-aged. And they then discover that their fertility is not what they had hoped for. They spend a fortune on IVF or surrogacy (often with an egg donor) and anything else technology can offer, as there are so few white infants out there to adopt. If I were looking to adopt, I sure wouldn't want that now grown baby showing up unannounced on my doorstep and then telling me I had ruined her childhood - actually her entire life.
