I'm a 39 y.o. woman who has been "seeing" a 47 y.o. man. He's a musician in my community and I developed an instant attraction that seems to go far beyond the initial sexy appeal of his guitar playing skills. Simply put, I'm smitten. I pursued him pretty heavy in the beginning and have definitely been the person putting the effort in making contact and arranging our activities. I hate the way this sounds but I am well above average in physical appearance so I'm used to getting the person I pursue. Anyway, we've been spending time together for a couple of months and it's been magical! He's romantic, extremely affectionate, sensitive and sweet as hell. He's introduced me to a couple of friends and he seems proud when he does so. I walk on a cloud when I'm with him and for the next day or two after. Trouble is, he doesn't call me....even after several days have gone by. In his defense, he works a full-time job in addition to the gigs he plays a couple evenings a week. He also bought a house (his first ever) about 3 weeks ago and he is heavily involved in remodeling it. Last weekend I asked him to come out to listen to a visiting band at a local pub. He agreed but at the last minute changed his mind, but failed to tell me this. I confronted him about his rudeness and told him I didn't think he was that in to me and that he should just acknowlege that fact so that I could move on. He asked me if I wanted to talk and offered to pick me up for breakfast. He refused to agree with my assumption and acknowleged his rudeness with an apology. This confrontation was three days ago and I haven't heard from him since. I have a lump in my throat and I feel nauseous. I need some direction here as the agony is just too much!

October deficit bigger than expected
by Ed Morrissey
What better way to kick off Barack Obama’s first full budget year as President than with a deficit that exceeded the White House’s own projections as well as analysts’ expectations? The federal government busted the budget worse than last October by $20 billion with a deficit of $176.36 billion for the month. That used to be considered a decent deficit target … for an entire year:
The federal government kicked off fiscal year 2010 by posting its widest-ever October budget deficit, the Treasury Department said Thursday.

The Absolutely Worst Bill Ever
By Peter Ferrara on 11.11.09 @ 6:08AM
"The Worst Bill Ever." That is the title the always calm and rational Wall Street Journal put on its editorial on November 1 about the government health care takeover bill that passed the House last week on virtually a party line vote, 220-215. But even this label doesn't fully communicate the outright assault on the American people involved in this legislation.

12 reasons unemployment is going to (at least) 12 percent
Posted by: James Pethokoukis (Reuters)
Gluskin Sheff economist David Rosenberg, formerly of Merrill Lynch, thinks the unemployment rate is going to at least 12 percent, maybe even 13 percent. Optimists, Rosenberg explains, underestimate the incredible damage done to the labor market during this downturn. And even before this downturn, the economy was not generating jobs in huge numbers.

Obamanomics' Backlash Stimulus
By Ralph R. Reiland
What the Democrats should have learned from their losses last Tuesday is that the advice given by political strategist James Carville to candidate Bill Clinton in the 1992 presidential campaign is still valid -- "It's the economy, stupid."
More specifically, what hurt Democrats at the polls is the lack of new jobs and the flood of red ink -- plus the doctor-bashing as a strategy to enact Obamacare, the push to cancel a worker's right to a secret ballot during unionization drives, the promise of skyrocketing utility rates via cap-and-trade mandates, and the prospect of higher taxes, more regulations and less liberty by way of an ever-increasing intrusion by government into every aspect of our lives.

Every story has a beginning, i guess this is how everything started for me.
Ever felt that your teenage life was the most mundane, colorless and lifeless? Ever felt that you don't belong no matter how hard you tried to reach out?

I think I'm distantly related (though cheating) to the English teacher I had freshman year of high school. However, I don't think my parents want me to know this (for some reason... I mean, it can't really be conflict of interest in school anymore since I'm a junior in college now).
