I haven't posted in a while and I feel it's time I mentioned something...

As adults, we are subject to human frailties. This is sometimes lost on parents, who despite being human, resign their opinion to be God's Law in
reference to their children. More so with  adult offspring who have come to realize the adults whose' words held such moral ring, are now at their level.

Being a parent is a tough job. You set the groundwork for a new member of society. It's a high responsibility and a great honor to take on a legacy destined out live you and out learn you. There should be a point where you will look up and realize that you have an being that is the wealth of your knowledge, that which you passed on from generations before, and what life lessons they themselves have gathered using the moral fiber that a parent leaves with them.

Far to often lately, parents have been overstepping the influence on their children. I am not saying that they should stay out of their children's lives, giving them no guidance or discipline. I mean pulling them into issues that have nothing to do with them personally. In situations where adults with issues that are selfish in nature, deem it necessary to include the kids in their dramas. Bad decision making, marital strife, financial troubles are things young children are going to be confused about and resentful or cautious about later in life. They will, if nothing else, fail to see what someone who blundered the subject will have to offer in the way of advice and understanding. It not just a matter of, "Don't make the same mistakes I did". It goes a well beyond.

When it comes down to it, be responsible and make the effort to know when your children are in desperate need. Do lay moral standards early in life and have that expectation of them. Don't lend your drama and complex moral delimia onto the a mind that can't comprehend it in childhood, or an adult who is still sorting out things for themselves. I'm all for giving support and understanding on both sides. But remember that we are all human and once that is understood, then regardless of age or generation gaps, a true dialog begins.

Current Mood:  Exasperated
Currently Listening too: "We Were Lovers"  and "You Won't See Me Coming" By Jean-Jacques Burnel from "Gankutsuou - The Count of Monte Cristo"

A

You are not particularly romantic, but you are interested in action.
You mean business. With you, what you see is what you get. You have no
patience for flirting and can't be bothered with someone who is trying
to be coy, cute, demure, and subtly enticing. You are an up-front
person. When it comes 2 sex, it's action that counts not obscure hints.
Your mate's physical attractiveness is important to you. You find the
chase and challenge of the invigorating. You are passionate and sexual,
as well as being much more adventurous than you appear; however, you do
not go around advertising these qualities. Your physical needs are your
primary concern.





B

You give off vibes of lazy sensuality. You enjoy being romanced, wined,
and dined. ? Hmmm? You are very happy to receive gifts as an expression
of the affection of your lover. You want to be pampered and know how to
pamper your mate. ? Hmmm? You are private in your expression of
endearments, and particular when it comes to lovemaking. You will hold
off until everything meets with your approval. You can control your
appetite and abstain from sex if need be. You require new sensations
and experiences. You are willing to experiment.





C

You are a very social individual, and it is important to you to have
relationship. You require closeness and togetherness. You must be able
to talk to your sex partner-before, during, and after. You want the
object of your affection to be socially acceptable and good-looking.
You see your lover as a friend and companion. You are very sexual and
sensual, needing someone to appreciate and almost worship you. When
this cannot be achieved, you have the ability to go for long periods
without sexual activity. You are an expert at controlling your desires
and doing without.





D

Once you get it into your head that you want someone, you move full
steam ahead in pursuit. You do not give up your quest easily. You are
nurturing and caring. If someone has a problem, this turns you on. You
are highly sexual, passionate, loyal, and intense in your involvements,
sometimes possessive and jealous. Sex to you is a pleasure to be
enjoyed. The eccentric and unusual, having a free and open attitude
stimulates you.





E

Your greatest need is to talk. If your date is not a good listener, you
have trouble relating. A person must be intellectually stimulating or
you are not interested sexually. You need a friend for a lover and a
companion for a bedmate. You hate disharmony and disruption, but you do
enjoy a good argument once in a while-it seems to stir things up. You
flirt a lot, for the challenge is more important than the sexual act
for you. But once you give your heart away, you are uncompromisingly
loyal. When you don't have a good lover to fall asleep with, you will
fall asleep with a good book. Sometimes, in fact, you prefer a good
book.





F

You are idealistic and romantic, putting your lover on a pedestal. You
look for the very best mate you can find. You are a flirt, yet once
committed, you are very loyal. You are sensuous, sexual, and privately
passionate. Publicly, you can be showy, extravagant, and gallant. You
are born romantic. Dramatic love scenes are a favorite fantasy pastime.
You can be a very generous lover.





G

You are fastidious, seeking perfection within yourself and your lover.
You respond to a lover who is your intellectual equal or superior, and
one who can enhance your status. You are sensuous and know how to reach
the peak of erotic stimulation, because you work at it meticulously.
You can be extremely active sexually -that is, when you find the time.
Your duties and responsibilities take precedence over everything else.
You may have difficulty getting emotionally close to a lover, but no
trouble getting close sexually.





H

You seek a mate who can enhance your reputation and earning ability.
You will be very generous to your lover once you have attained a
commitment. Your gifts are actually an investment in your partner.
Before the commitment, though, you tend to be frugal in your spending
and dating. You are a sensual and patient lover.





I

You have a great need to be loved, appreciated... even worshiped. You
enjoy luxury, sensuality, and pleasures of the flesh. You look for
lovers who know what they are doing. You are not interested in an
amateur, unless that amateur wants a tutor. You are fussy and exacting
about having your desires satisfied. You are willing to experiment and
try new modes of sexual expression. You bore easily and thus require
sexual adventure and change. You are more sensual than sexual, but you
are sometimes downright lustful.





J

You are blessed with a great deal of physical energy. When used for
lovemaking, there is nothing to stop you, except maybe the stamina of
your partner. (you could have danced all night.) You respond to the
thrill of the chase and the challenge of the mating game. You can carry
on great romances in your head. At heart you are a roamer and need to
set out on your own every so often. You will carry on long-distance
relationships with ease. You are idealistic and need to believe in
love. The sex act seems to satisfy a need to be nurtured deep within.





K

You are secretive, self-contained, and shy. You are very sexy, sensual,
and passionate, but you do not let on to this. Only in intimate privacy
will this part of your nature reveal itself. When it gets down to the
nitty-gritty, you are an expert. You know all the little tricks of the
trade, can play any role or any game, and take your love life very
seriously. You don't fool around. You have the patience to wait for the
right person to come along.





L

You can be very romantic, attached to the glamour of love. Having a
partner is of paramount importance to you. You are free in your
expression of love and are willing to take chances, try new sexual
experiences and partners, provided it's all in good taste. Brains turn
you on. You must feel that your partner is intellectually stimulating,
otherwise you will find it difficult to sustain the relationship. You
require loving, cuddling, wining, and dining to know that you're being
appreciated.





M

You are emotional and intense. When involved in a relationship, you
throw your entire being into it. Nothing stops you; there are no holds
barred. You are all consuming and crave someone who is equally
passionate and intense. You are willing to try anything and everything.
Your supply of sexual energy is inexhaustible. You also enjoy mothering
your mate.





N

You may appear innocent, unassuming, and shy; but we know that
appearances can lie. When it comes to sex, you are no novice but
something of a skilled technician. You can easily go to extremes,
though, running the gamut from insatiability to boredom with the whole
idea of sex. You can be highly critical of you mate, seeking perfection
in both of you. It is not easy to find someone who can meet your
standards. You have difficulty expressing emotions and drawing close to
lovers.





O

You are very interested in sexual activities yet secretive and shy
about your desires. You can rechannel much of your sexual energy into
making money and/or seeking power. You can easily have extended periods
of celibacy. You are a passionate, compassionate, sexual lover,
requiring the same qualities from your mate. Sex is serious business;
thus you demand intensity, diversity, and are willing to try anything
or anyone. Sometimes your passions turn to possessiveness, which must
be kept in check.





P

You are very conscious of social proprieties. You wouldn't? Think of
doing anything that might harm your image or reputation. Appearances
count. Therefore, you require a good-looking partner. You also require
an intelligent partner. Oddly enough, you may view your partner as your
enemy...a good fight stimulates those sex vibes. You are relatively
free of sexual hang-ups. You are willing to experiment and try new ways
of doing things. You are very social and sensual; you enjoy flirting
and need a good deal of physical gratification.





Q

You require constant activity and stimulation. You have tremendous
physical energy. It is not easy for a partner to keep up with you,
sexually or otherwise. You are an enthusiastic lover and tend to be
attracted to people of other ethnic groups. You need romance, hearts
and flowers, and lots of conversation to turn you on and keep you going.





R

You are a no-nonsense, action-oriented individual. You need someone who
can keep pace with you and who is your intellectual equal-the smarter
the better. You are turned on more quickly by a great mind than by a
great body. However, physical attractiveness is very important to you.
You have to be proud of your partner. You are privately very sexy, but
you do not show this outwardly. If your new lover is not all that great
in bed, you are willing to serve as teacher. Sex is important; you can
be a very demanding playmate.





S

For you, it is business before pleasure. If you are in any way bothered
by career, business, or money concerns, you find it very hard to relax
and get into the mood. You can be romantically idealistic to a fault
and are capable of much sensuality. But you never lose control of your
emotions. You are very careful and cautious before you give your heart
away-and your body, for that matter. Once you make the commitment,
though, you stick like glue.





T

You are very sensitive, private, and sexually passive; you like a
partner who takes the lead. Music, soft lights, and romantic thoughts
turn you on. You fantasize and tend to fall in and out of love. When in
love, you are romantic, idealistic, mushy, and extremely changeable.
You enjoy having your senses and your feelings stimulated, titillated,
and teased. You are a great flirt. You can make your relationships fit
your dreams, all in your own head.





U

You are enthusiastic and idealistic when in love. When not in love, you
are in love with love, always looking for someone to adore. You see
romance as a challenge. You are a roamer and need adventure,
excitement, and freedom. You deal in potential relationships. You enjoy
giving gifts and enjoy seeing your mate looks good. Your sex drive is
strong and you desire instant gratification. You are willing to put
your partner's pleasures above your own.





V

You are individualistic, and you need freedom, space, and excitement.
You wait until you know someone well before committing yourself.
Knowing someone means psyching him out. You feel a need to get into his
head to see what makes him tick. You are attracted to eccentric types.
Often where is an age difference between you and your lover. You
respond to danger, thrills, and suspense. The gay scene turns you on,
even though you yourself may not be a participant.





W

You are very proud, determined, and you refuse to take no for an answer
when pursuing love. Your ego is at stake. You are romantic, idealistic,
and often in love with love itself, not seeing your partner as he or
she really is. You feel deeply and throw all of yourself into your
relationships. Nothing is too good for your lover. You enjoy playing
love games.





X

You need constant stimulation because you bore quickly. You can handle
more than one relationship at a time with ease. You can't shut off your
mind. You talk while you make love. You can have the greatest love
affairs, all by yourself, in your own head.





Y

You are sexual, sensual, and very independent. If you can't have it
your way, you will forgo the whole thing. You want to control your
relationships, which doesn't always work out too well. You respond to
physical stimulation, enjoy necking and spending hours just touching,
feeling, and exploring. However, if you can spend your time making
money, you will give up the pleasures of the flesh for the moment. You
need to prove to yourself and your partner what a great lover you are.
You want feedback on your performance. You are an open, stimulating,
romantic bedmate.





Z

You are very romantic, idealistic, and somehow you believe that to love
means to suffer. You wind up serving your mate or attracting people who
have unusual troubles. You see yourself as your lover's savior. You are
sincere, passionate, lustful, and dreamy. You can't help falling in
love. You fantasize and get turned on by movies and magazines. You do
not tell others of this secret life, nor of your sexual fantasies. You
are easily aroused sexually.

You're less sinful than the average person. Still, everyone has their weaknesses, and the sin you're most guilty of is:

Pride

Okay, I guess this is a good time to point out that these are dark-skinned peoples that reject the western country's way of life
