Its all fine and dandy when it is the USA doing the consuming , but as the rest of the world catches up it will be blatantly clear why over consumerism is a problem . Singles day in China or Golden week eclipse Black Friday already . The amount of garbage and pollution produced for these holidays is staggering . <| sep |> I thought Madeline was at the Chilton Alumni event ? <| sep |> but we did indirectly as far as I ' m awareOnce again , do you have sources to back that claim up ? In any case , at least you admit that your previous comment was incorrect so we ' re getting somewhere ! <| sep |> Member Pee Wee jerking off ? Yeah , I member ! <| sep |> I would LOVE nothing more than to be able to have him join my friends and I for drinks and to be invited to social events he goes to as well . I ' ve gotten to the point that I have stopped inviting him because I don ' t want to be rejected any more . When my friends ask why he doesn ' t join us , I just say he ' s busy . I can really see him being the person I build my life with , based on compatibility I ' ve never encountered with anyone before , but if he never starts inviting me into his social circles I don ' t think I can continue . I don ' t understand how he can say he loves me I am his best friend but also keeps me so separate from the rest of his life .
