I love my dad. He was here visiting for two weeks. He left today. There were a couple of moments where I lost my patience and was kinda mean to him. It's killing me. I appologized but it's still killing me. I dropped him off at the airport and HE appologized to ME. I told him that it was all my fault. I can't stand this feeling.

Mach, spiritually, what do I need to do to get this right.


Sorry to get all mushy.

Call him and tell him how much you appreciate him. He's known you longer than you've known yourself, so maybe he can see through whatever crap you threw at him.

Lammastide said:

Thank you. I will. He should be home by the time I get out of work.

If Erin thinks Toronto's dirty (), I'd love to see her expression when she visits New York, L.A. or Chicago for the first time. I think it'd look a little somethin' like this: .

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

Forgive yourself.

If you don't do that first, you'll be laying all your guilt and shame on him, which is the opposite of what you want to do.

Forgive yourself for having weak moments and being human, and then ask his forgiveness and let it go.

MIGUELGOMEZ already sound advice posted

we all are human
we all are not perfect

you will do what's right for you and your Dad - this much I know

I love my apartment although there is still some renovating to be done as I feel totally at home there. I love that am living in an old house. I love that I have the view at a park and that I am living pretty close to the city centre, but that is quite quiet at the same time. I love that it is a totally safe area, although someone was killed very close to where I live about 2 weeks ago.

I needed that.

I love that I live on the second floor, and that my building is laid out so there's multiple ways up to my door- handy for avoiding creeps that follow you home at night! & it's nice that it's right across the street from a lake on my campus, so it's pretty and green.

I was going to look up New Moon ( last night ) energies and see what's going down ...

Mach said:

Yeah, that and I'm on my man-period.

Ace said:

Shut up. I'm fully aware that other cities are dirtier. And I've been to NYC, thanks - jerk.

Can you spank me now?

Hi RED

Being mistaken for "the help," every now and then.

Happened today, 'round lunchtime: "Say, young man, can you help me? Where do y'all keep the orange juice?"

Evidently, ol' dude missed my business attire and my carrying a store shopping basket.

Spankin' Tennessee. It never fails


I. Love. That.

that me and my boys can walk to the beach

I'm less than 2minutes on the bus and 15 minutes walking away from my job

the area is becoming more multicultural

I'm close to a police station

It is kid friendly

And I also love that you never know whether you're going to be stabbed or shot

The architecture and history of the area. The diversity and rich culture. I'm very proud of where I'm from. I can't imagine living anywhere else...

I love that my friends and family live around here. That's about it.

Hmm, what do I love about Baltimore? .....

thekidsgirl said:

Afr'Am. A friend asked me yesterday what city that I've lived in was my favorite. I rattled off a bunch of B'more pluses. I forgot about the Afr'Am festival.

Harriman House does breakfast???

ThreadBare said:

Y'all forgot the charm of Edgar Allan Poe's house... as long as you can get outta that neighborhood by sundown.

Lammastide said:

Dude, I think the Harriman House serving breakfast tops Poe. I'm going to have to check it out. That used to be my spot.

thekidsgirl said:

Thanks sweety. I called him and everything is wonderful.

And I plan one day to go to your city. Are you kidding? The home of JOHN WATERS!!!!!

The owls at night
