That toolbar is destroying the forum!

i like the toolbar. it's pretty. you can click the arrow to mostly-minimise it (it turns into a tiny sidebar).


Until you go to another page. Then it gets big again. :evil:

Not pretty... it's blocking things and loading after everything else. I'm afraid of accidentally clicking something on it and doing something I don't want to. :x

I'm on Google Chrome, but I got it. Sorta. The bar is still there but everything on it is gone. :D

Adblock has not blocked it. Noscript works with a bit of tweaking.

Adblock has not blocked it. Noscript works with a bit of tweaking.

tools---> adblock plus ---> open blockable items ---> doubleclick anything that says "sharethis", then select the radio button that says sharethis.com^ (meaning any thing that contains "sharethis" in the address)

it eradicated the sharebar and took the article bars along with it (the ones at top)

EDIT: i'm getting an error when i post though, so i still need to tweak it.

SUCCESS! asson: noscript. i had to change the setting to make sure i was allowing WP scripts and not sharethis, but it was really easy. once it was installed, on the first run it shows a no-script message bar along the bottom of the page, and you make sure that sharethis is NOT allowed (you can also make sure the ads are NOT allowed but WP scripts ARE allowed).

the only other thing i had to tweak was changing the settings so noscript stopped giving me notiifications (it was just as annoying as the sharethis bar).

EDIT: nope, still getting the notification. still working on it. hmmph.

I have to pause adblock so the message doesn't pop up. Strangely, the toolbar is still gone. :scratch:

Admittedly I gave up on dating a long time ago, but even if not kids would be a deal breaker for me. I don't think I could avoid the feeling of being taken for a ride for raising another man's kid. It wouldn't be a problem with adoption, as we'd both be on the same footing, but it would be with a stepkid. I have the suspicion it would be a situation where I'd be a parent when it comes to obligations, but when it came to rights I'd just be the fool who sleeps with Mom. And if you don't bond with the kids, that means trouble, and if you do and the relationship doesn't work out well, you're not the real Dad...

that is very well-worded, actually. having kids involved really does complicate things, i completely agree.


Aspie to date an NT with kids has hard,or as easy as dating a Muslim woman with kids in her own country.

You'll get sex in the first few dates when she is trying to sucker you in. After you are snared, then it dries right up.

Im sorry but leaving aside the bitterness of your post it makes no sense.

If a male is interested in sex in a relationship and said event stops most males try to talk things with their partner/find a more suitable partner.

The assumption that most males would remain in a relationship like the one you mention makes no sense to me and to most sociologists nowadays. Ive read books that said that a similar attitude may have been predominant in the past with the genders swapped because females only wanted to their basic needs covered(food, a roof to live under...) but that stopped happening decades ago when most people put their personal priorities before basic needs.

I understand there may be some males that would remain in a relationship like the one you mention but it is a very low number and they are most likely to be asexual
