What're we talkin' here? Trapped farts??

I just posted almost this exact same thing! Just could not get over Scott Speedman's smile- HOT DAMN! But yeah, Foley's lookin' mighty fine these days!

I was always more of a Ben girl, but my my my... he has aged nicely :)

Man, it would be incredibly sad for his first daughter to read this.

What's a modified jumping jack? When I googled it I mostly found results for how to make jumping jacks easier, not harder.

I was thinking the same thing. I want to see!

Yeah, that's kind of where I'm at. I've sent him links to apprenticeships, told him I'd support him in whatever way he needs if he wanted to go back to school, worked with him on his resume so he could apply for new jobs... Sometimes he seems excited and motivated, but it doesn't seem to turn into action. And some…

He is, but only in a complain-y way, not in an abusive way. But you're so right, and kind for saying so. If it ever gets to that point, or if it starts to be too much, I will certainly do that :)

THANK YOU! You summed it up perfectly. That's the part that's putting the stress on our relationship- he's doing the second thing you mentioned :( I'm really not saying that I think everyone has to LOVE their job, I don't believe that at all. I get that a job can be just for paying bills and financing your other…

See, I feel the exact same way as you've said it here, you just did a lot better job saying it than I did. So thank you!

Agree wholeheartedly. Even though I like my job, my actual life is more important. Just meant that it would be nice if there were some kind of pride or satisfaction to be derived from it for him. And even nicer if he didn't hate it so hard.

YIKES! Read some of my other responses for clarification, if you're interested in more than just knee-jerk outrage. Thanks for the lesson on the economy though, Dr. Internet!

Do you ever feel like you write a comment in a moment of personal angst or a fleeting EUREKA moment, and then re-read it and realize it doesn't accurately reflect your conscious thoughts?? I think that's kind of what I did here, haha. I totally agree that everyone doesn't have to like their job, and definitely not…

I definitely appreciate all the different perspectives I'm getting on how to look at this, but re-reading my post I didn't actually say he should "love" his job. Just said a job he's happy with. I really was getting at the idea that someone could be happy as in satisfied or content with a job, not that it has to be…

Yeah, I guess I sort of worded this poorly. I know everyone doesn't looove their job, and they don't need to. My dad has worked in a factory for 26 years, and I know he doesn't love it, but it's allowed him to support his family, take some vacations, and live his life. But in my particular case, my boyfriend HATES his…

That sounds... impossible. But I believe you if you say it's so! He can definitely take me out on dates, I guess I was using a weekend trip to signify a little more financial security, along with the ability to take vacation days.

Yeah, this is actually an interesting alternative perspective. I guess I just get nervous because it negatively affects his moods sometimes, and I don't want him to get beaten down and permanently grumpy.

And what field would this be? Asking for a (boy)friend ;)

Okay, I'm about to get real personal here because OF COURSE this is about me ;)

30 seconds in and I was already LOLing. Now I really wanna make a slow-motion video of me set to Gangsta's Paradise. Doing anything, really. It's just good biz!
