I only dated a couple of guys before I got with my fiancé. It wasn't anything serious and while there was no dramatic soap opera style breakup, there's no real reason for us to stay in touch. So while I might talk to them if I ever run into them, I'm not going to take their digits or anything.

I know there are people out there who like to take advantage of other people's kind nature. But people are different and we shouldn't assume that everyone is the same. I think I'm a pretty good judge of character so if I felt like someone was taking advantage, then I would stop with the favors. And someone else has already pointed it out but if you give away something you didn't want and that person goes on to sell it, then what's the big deal? You didn't want it anyways. If I wanted to sell something I didn't want, I'm perfectly capable of setting up an eBay account. If I don't do that, then clearly I don't care about the money and fare play to someone who showed initiative. That's what I think anyways.

Hey thank you.

OK I'm not gonna lie - that would drive me batshit f***ing crazy! I'm tiny but I'm not afraid to speak my mind and if anyone came into my home and behaved like that, I would definitely not keep quiet or even get my fiancé to say something regardless of whose family it was. It's my home so it's my right to tell people who are in my home to follow the house rules or leave. Of course I wouldn't be so blunt initially. But if they're behaviour doesn't change well, don't say I didn't warn you!

We may be old and boring but that's not a good enough excuse not to have date nights! We have fur babies rather than babies of the two-legged variety but we still make sure that we find time to go out and have fun. I'd say some dates are planned but we've been known to be spontaneous every once in a while. Haha!

It's a very tragic situation. I feel guilty because I complain over the dumbest things. But then you see people who's lives are in complete turmoil, who's homeland is being destroyed and who have lost everything. It really does put a lot of things into perspective and it's too bad that it's taken something like this and a lot of human suffering to make us realise that. I also can't believe that we have a situation that is reminiscent of world events that took place more or less a hundred years ago and that is really scary.

Honestly I wouldn't sweat it at all. If your husband's sister is really as nice as you say, then I really don't think that she'll do anything to hurt your feelings. And it doesn't sound like your husband is exactly tripping over himself to go meet this ex. I don't think you have anything to worry about but if your sister-in-law does anything that is unfair to you, then at least you'll know where you stand and you'll know that you really don't need a person like that in your life.

My mom's sister and her husband are my godparents but even if they weren't my godparents, they would still be my aunt and uncle and they would still be the best! LOL! I'm very lucky that my godparents played an important role in my life. I lost my dad at a very young age so I was lucky to be surrounded by people who cared about me and who were there for me at such a terrible time. That included my aunt and uncle. If they weren't already family, it's hard to say if they would still be in my life. I'd like to say they would because that's the kind of people they are. But I know a lot of people I know don't really have much contact with their godparents especially if they weren't already family. I don't have kids yet so godparents aren't something I need to think about. And anyways I'm not religious so I probably wouldn't need to think about it even if I did have kids. But I know how really good godparents can really make a difference to a godchild's life. So if you're going to ask someone to be a godparent, make sure you think long and hard about making the right decision. And if you're going to accept, only do so if you're serious about undertaking this role and all that comes with it.

Hi there BettaDaze! Nice to meet you! I'm not exactly what you can call green-thumbed but I'd like to be! So I guess you're the lady to call on for advice! 😁

Hi Bellisima! Wow another member who's traveled a lot! I'm a little envious of those of you who have done so much traveling. I hope to do the same one day.

Hello Rozie B. Welcome to Peppermint Teal. I also have Irish heritage and am child-free. But I'm a fur mom and very happy to be one. Haha!

Hey Green Diamonte! I've actually just replied to the message you sent me for my post. Haha! So now I'm just returning the favor. 😊 It's cool that you lived in America and that you visited other countries. I have to say I've never left America. Traveled around a few states but no overseas trip yet. I wouldn't have a problem with it though.

You have a fashion business! That's awesome. And who wouldn't love a good book!

Hey Green Diamonte. And it's so true. There's nothing like getting lost in a good book!

Haha! Hi Ms. Vegan! 😄

Hi Bellisima. And sure, I absolutely agree with you. I'm glad Frengellica returned even if it is now Peppermint Teal!

Hi Bettadaze. And yeah it is an impressive site. 😀

Wow, Australia that's so cool! Thank you Fishcakes. 😘

I have one older brother and we are definitely very close. I lost my dad at a very young age so growing up it was just me, my brother and my Mom. I do think that the tragedy we experienced in losing Dad when we did is what brought us all together to be the tight unit of three that we are. Though of course I'd like to think that even if Dad had still been here, we'd still have been a very close family. I have enormous respect for my brother. I won't lie and say we didn't have our moments growing up. Just ask my Mom! But he had to take on the role of the man of the house when he was still only a teenager and he looked after us very well. He's got a good heart and is so funny. I'm so proud to call him my big brother.
