Codeine is good. I prescribe codeine. It is more enjoyable if you don't bust your foot first. Apart from anything else it really, really hurts. Went back to work today. The horror, the horror.

Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 10/20/2004 10:24:38 PM   I had been to FSU countries twice (for newcomers, the countries were Ukraine and Moldova) but had never tasted (or rather not tasted I guess) vodka. I was met with raised eyebrows when I described this fact to my collegues. Again, as desribed before (regular forum members please bear with me), the reason was that the Russian women i met were deadset against hooking up with an alchoholic and so would watch my alchohol comsumption like a hawk. I've never had a problem with alchohol, so I found it ammusing but consitant that I was watched so carefully. On my most recent adventure i made up for my past oversights - and discovered that a few properly downed shots make up for any codeine or Cuervo that one would ever need. Of course my overindulgence led to my mugging, but it was a small (relatively speaking) price to pay. To drink as I did with this beautiful girl and to be a carefree - and just slightly wasted - okay maybe doing it every night of the last week was a bit like overdoing it - but I wouldn't have traded the experience for anything. izifaddag Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 10/20/2004 10:32:39 PM   Thats funny jet jetmba. Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 10/20/2004 10:44:20 PM   And on the serious subject of adoption - I applaud those who adopt olderchildren to give them something of a "normal" family experience - but I wonder if that is actually possible at all. Older children have ususally gone from one foster home to another. And repeat foster families have generally learned from expereince not to get TOO close to their charges - since it makes parting more difficult - or so I've been told (by my own foster parents - whom I met years after the seven months I spent with them - they had previously only fostered older children). But when adopting older children, just for a few years, is the effect the same? Or do they see it as one more temporary stop in their lives before adulthood? My best friend from high school and his wife were unable to have children. There were miscarriages and still births. They desperately wanted to have a family. They adopted three children - two brothers and a sister - all of whom had been from the same family and they were all (I think) preteenagers. Good fortune never seemed to be on the side of this couple as there were behavioral problems, adjustment problems, attempted suicide problems. One of the ran away several times and eventually decided to return to foster care. Similar things happened with the other two. Again, maybe it was just that this couple's hope to have a family was not to be - and I'm sure that not all of those who attmpt to adopt an older child have similar experiences, but it seemed nothing worked out for them. GLTALLTOAD Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 10/21/2004 1:18:57 AM   Shit, Jet... You simply cannot generalize on this one...There are just too many effing cases out there of people trying to do the right thing or simply trying to convince everyone that's what they're trying to do... I choose older kids to spill some "Older Brotherly Love" because it breaks my heart watching this kids spend the first 10-12 years of their lives bouncing from foster home to foster home just like we treat pee-stops on a long vacation trip. I treat them the same way I treated my own kids ....Hard ass, loving and caring all the way. They seem to respond well to it. Heck, they keep asking for me to come back, lol...go figure. toad jetmba. Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 10/21/2004 10:26:04 AM   My intent was not to generalize - just to convey the only direct specific knowledge I have of adopting older kids. Of course you can't forget about them just because in one specific case there were problems. For whatever reason my friends don't seem to have much luck in this area - either having their own children or adopting. And of course their experience with natural birth certainly shouldn't disuade people from going that route any more than their experience should disuade people from adopting older children. izifaddag Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 10/21/2004 10:51:23 AM   This is very interesting. A subject I know absolutely nothing about. GLTALLTOAD Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 10/21/2004 12:45:05 PM   izi, I'd encourage you to contact your local Big Brother agency. One Sunday per month is not much of a sacrifice to spend with a kid. I'm willing to bet you will enjoy it just as much as the kid in question. toad izifaddag Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 10/21/2004 8:20:54 PM   Thanks Toad a good idea. Might be good for me. dragster Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 10/21/2004 8:33:23 PM   Without trying to demean the subject I would like to say how much I like kids too..... can't eat a whole one though!!!!!!! groon Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 10/22/2004 9:12:18 PM   Just curious and I hope I'm not offending any of you with my question but...

And not entirely happy about being above the often quoted limit in many profiles of "45" - but it seems to be a small disadvantage. wmferg Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 10/22/2004 10:16:35 PM   I'm 54 and quite happy GLTALLTOAD Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 10/22/2004 11:06:37 PM   I'm 48, feel like 30, and as you all know I act like 12....so there, lol toad Your Reply: Your name:   New Registration Password:   Forgot password?   refresh Code:   Russian brides > Main Forum > Age Difference, Musings on...
