Etymology: 1820, "temper" (usually in a hostile sense), from Latin animus "rational soul, mind, life, mental powers; courage, desire," related to anima "living being, soul, mind, disposition, passion, courage, anger, spirit, feeling," from PIE root *ane- "to blow, to breathe" (cf. Greek anemos "wind," Sanskrit aniti "breathes," Old Irish anal, Welsh anadl "breath," Old Irish animm "soul," Gothic uzanan "to exhale," Old Norse anda "to breathe," Old English eðian "to breathe," Old Church Slavonic vonja "smell, breath," Armenian anjn "soul").

Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Oh. Dear. God.
That is so pathetic. At least, it was after mass.
A+++ great job!
Thank you!
A+++ not a surprising stat!
Had dr follow up today and she’s cut my meds in half bc of the weight loss. My Bp was 120/70 with me having FORGOTTEN to even take any meds this AM bc I was distracted by the pup.
Of course they do - playing on line means you are suave, intelligent, and perfect..... doesn’t always translate to real life.
A couple of years ago, a co-worker and friend referred me to an online place he insisted was conservative-I went there and actually talked on the phone to two guys, and they both turned out to be liberal, and looking for a woman to take care of them financially, one had low latina tolerance-I didn’t go there again-you are not gonna find some fine cowboy like that...
Congrats! I am sick of the quantity of meds they still have me on. I am up to 10 minutes daily on the elliptical and a walk. Enjoying a pain free time of it, too. Hopefully, I can get back off some meds one day soon.
Haha - so true!
I had a supervisor once who quit her job, left her husband and two boys behind for an online romance. Wonder how it turned out for her? Hmm. Odds are not good.
Now, that IS scary.
His mother was a slut who slept around with any color of Communist, Red, Black, or Green! Not sure who the father was but he wasn’t from Russia.
I have to admit, I never believed obam was his Dad - but after seeing his half brother, who looks just like him - I now believe the old commie was really his biological father. Totally agree about the mother - on top of abandoning her kid for her own selfish needs.
She left her own children???!! I can’t even imagine that.
I thought so-if that is who is out there, I’m all for continuing just as I am and I’ll be happy about it...
Yeah, I knew she was leaving her job, but didn’t learn why till she had left. RME What a loon.
My neighbor left her husband and son, then one day she broke down crying and said it was the stupidest mistake of her life. Can’t change it back once it’s done. She ultimately paid a huge price for it.
When my husbands parents divorced, my husband chose to go with his Dad, but his father didn’t try hard enough to keep a relationship with his daughters. He made every excuse in the book - their Mother’s fault, work, the girls didn’t want to see him, etc.... ultimately it was because his new wife didn’t want to share him with his own children. He was weak enough to accept that so there is a huge divide in the family, which now includes my husband because his father is a weak man who chose a woman over his own children. He didn’t have to - but he did. Now he can die alone with few of his children caring enough to visit.
I’ve only known a couple of people out here who did the online thing-one was the 23 year old daughter of a neighbor-she got a room with the guy at one of the fancier dude ranches on the first date, fell right into the sack, found out after they were hot and heavy that his job wasn’t the only reason he was just seeing her on weekends-the pig was married, of course.
She really felt stupid, according to her mother, but the bright side was that at least she wasn’t pregnant, and had gotten suspicious and started checking him out when he suggested they do a secret elopement to New Mexico, where he supposedly was from-she found out he had a wife and was really from Lubbock, so she called him on it, and didn’t commit bigamy...
Wow!
and she did that in a public place....yikes!
