    OK I need some relationship help from you wise ladies

    Laura, I've so been there. Don't beat yourself up. Your heart feels what it feels. Take your time. Date nice men just for fun, not for relationship material. Work on yourself. You'll find your way back to center, probably when you least expect it. HTH! Sparrow My garden is...

    Things our kids say!!

    Hilarious! No kids, but here's one about my nephew, N, age 8. He and his best friend, also 8, and my niece, 7, are sitting around my sister's table having lunch. They start teasing each other about "you're in love with so and so." "No! You're in love with so and so!" as kids do. My niece...

    Emotional Eating in Men

    I know we tend to think of emotional eating as something women do, but have any of you noticed periods of emotional eating in your DHs or SOs? I know DH is under a lot of stress lately (work, new house, rental properties, the usual life stuff) and I feel like he is just eating a ton. Don't...

    Does your SO say that women are crazy?

    Diva, I find your posts most interesting :) Yes, I believe men do find women to be crazy, in general. I asked DH once if he thought I was crazy and he said "honey, I think all women are crazy." Of course we women might feel the same way about men :) As for getting in a fight over this...

    Help understanding cholesterol

    Cynthia, I had the same situation and posted about it last summer I think. If you have high HDL don't worry about it, that's a good thing - at least that's what I learned in my research. Also learned that athletes and regular exercisers tend to have elevated HDL levels in general HTH...

    Does Anyone get the Exercise Blues?

    I agree with Amy, think about overtraining and also, take it one day at a time. When I feel like that I let myself do the minimum. Basically I just say, "All I need to do is maintain today, not progress." Eventually I get back to going full-force. HTH! Sparrow My garden is filled...

    Talk to SO everyday on phone??

    Diva, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Some people just aren't phone talkers, including me. DH and I were phone chatters for like the first month of going out but after that, not so much. Once we were serious we talked on the phone mostly just to check in and say good night, that sort of...

    Concerns about what pregnancy will do to my body.......

    RE: Concerns about what pregnancy will do to my body...... Reba, I've been thinking about your post. I am childfree by choice. One of the reasons (though certainly not the major reason) is that I have no desire to go through pregnancy for similar reasons to the ones you mentioned. I just...

    Okay, fess up.

    I think a giant puffy dreidel would be the bomb. Nah, I go minimalist with my decorations. A few lights on the trees, candles in the windows, that sort of thing. The puffy decorations seem like a colossal PITA. Every time I drive by them they're deflating or deflated. Sparrow My...
