Tina’s Supplied Honesty

I got my inspiration for this post from watching old episodes of The Bill Engvall Show.  The first one that I saw was very touching though so I just had to take some time to write about it.

The family has a dog named Raffle, who they realized had cancer. The whole plot of the show was to decide if they wanted to put their dog down, or give up their vacation to try surgery without knowing if it would really even help their dog at all. To me this is something that just makes my heart swell thinking about it. I love my dog as he was my child! I have been made fun of since the day that I got this adorable little bugger! I always think of him pretty much as a human, he is a person in my family. (more…)

 So here it is, the big fantastic exciting new start week!

It is time to celebrate all the work, and everything that is to come! 

I am sorry for my lack of writings lately, but I am hoping for all of that to turn around quite quickly! I have really taken time to brainstorm and think about the direction of this blog. I really want to be much more enjoyable, as well as being helpful to all. I want to cover topics that all of my readers are interested in. That being said email me (teenskee@gmail.com) with anything you would like to see covered on Tina’s Supplied Honesty!

I hope you are ready for what is to come! There is going to be a lot of exciting fun things down our road! Okay, maybe it won’t be all fun and roses but that is only because relationships are not! I hope you enjoy what is to come! I welcome any opinions, good and bad alike.

Recently I had a fellow blogger email me with the idea for my blog here. Her idea was to write about how to know you found the one, now I am not professional so I do not claim to know how you know! I did however think this would be a great way to restart my blog and include readers at the same time! What better way to hear about how to know when it is right then from many people who in love with the right person!
So here I am asking about what you have to say, as long as you don’t mind being quoted in my blog that is! Here are the questions that I would like you to answer, you can reply as a comment or email them to teenskee@gmail.com! At the end you can also say anything that you would like to say!

How did you know when it was right?

How did you know it was going to last?

How did you know this was the person who was always worth fighting for?

Did you have that one moment when time stops and you realize that this is the one, or did you just realize one day that you couldn’t live without this person any longer?

Did you ever think you had “the one” before, or was it only once and lasted for all time?

If you had one before; how did you realize it wasn’t right after all?

What makes “the one” stand apart from all the rest?

Back to the one that you are with now, how long have you been together?

How do you keep things so well between you two?

How do you show your appreciation to them, has this changed over time?

How do they show theirs to you? Is it enough for you, do you wish they would show it differently?

What is your favorite part of your relationship?

What is your least favorite part of your relationship?

Any advice, key, tips?

What kind of person are you? Do you go through a horrible experience and learn a lesson grow from it and move forward, or do you take it to heart and let it allow you to make you bitter?

When your boyfriend cheats on you do you sit around and speak badly about men for years, if you ever even stop? Did you have that one girlfriend who betrayed you, then now you just have sworn off ever having a close gal pal again? When your brother did that really stupid thing in school and embarrassed you by telling your crush everything your diary said about your fantasy life together, did you disown your brother and never forgive him again? Do you just think that sometimes things should not be forgiven no matter what people do to redeem themselves? Does this sound like you? Are you one to hold a grudge for all time? Do you hold it against one specific person or do you hold it against anyone who may be anything like them?

Or are you the complete opposite? Are you the one friend that will always let everyone do whatever he or she wants whenever they want no matter how it affects you? Are you known as the friend who will always bend over backwards to do anything for everyone? Do you think that you are walked all over by your friends? Do you think that you are a push over?

Or, do you see yourself as the one in the middle, the one who knows where to draw the line on both sides of the spectrum? Do you think that you know when it is time to let go of your friends, but you also know how to pick your battles and when to just back down? Do you get angry, but know how to understand that people are human and mistakes are made? Do you think that there is always a way to get over things without giving in?

Which kind of person are you, have you always been this way? Have you noticed a change in your reactions to others has changed, as you got older? Do you have tips on the way you think is best? Steps to get from one extreme to the middle of the road? Do you even think people should try to be in the middle of the road?

I want to break up with my fiancé, how should I do it?

“I am engaged to a very emotional man. Anytime I ever mention the two of us breaking up he always starts to cry. He is not exactly a pansy kind of guy because he doesn’t get all mushy gushy when I try to find out why he is crying, actually he becomes very defensive and angry when I ask him why he is crying. For the last year we have been living with my parents, but I think that we are just too young to be together for the rest of our lives. He is 18 years old and I am 17, I am not sure anymore that I am ready to commit my life to this guy. What do I do so that I can actually break up with him? Whenever he gets emotional it makes me feel so badly that I just back down from it.”

I think that you should just go with the so called “band-aid method”. Just make it a clean break. Tell him why you are not happy in the relationship and why you think that you two would both be better separate. It will be very hard since you live with your parents so you cannot just leave and allow him time, you will have to just do it as forward and quick as possible and help him to pack up and move out. Maybe you should even talk to your parents first to see if they will help him to move out, so that you can tell him well we are just going to help you move out now so that we can make a clean break and neither of us has to have a messy and mean break up. Good luck, and remember if you feel bad when he cries you really are only making it worse because you are leading him to believe that you are happy and want to be with him, when in reality you are not.

Since today is Armed Forces Day I feel that I should take a moment out of my day to at least write a little Thank - You!

I am a very patriotic person. I am extremely thankful for every American that has the amazing ability to give their lives to the military! I think that anyone who has spent their lives fighting for or supporting this country is a very amazing and great person! I am so passionate about it that all that I can really get out is “Thank – You!” over and over again.

I also want to thank the families of men and women in the military for standing by their family and supporting them! As I told my friend when she started dating a man who is active in the Army, there is something that you need to understand, people who are active in the military live with their jobs first and their families sadly must take second. It takes a very strong person to stand by their spouse in those kinds of situations. I know that the mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, children, and grand parents all have to go through a very hard time as well. I think that you are very strong people and are essential to the healthy mind set of our men and women in the military.
