Forgotten Anniversary

Oh, is that where I got this from, Dale? You know, sharing's nice and all, but we don't have to share everything... hehehehe ;) I am better now. Luckily not the flu, just a cold. PHEW! Hope you are feeling better too. And I sincerely hope Wayne's learned his lesson and won't let this happen again.

I think he has. He felt bad, but I had to give him a break because it's been stressful lately. And I can't expect him to be as on top of things as me. (Oh brother. It's getting deep around here now!)

When Your Personal Love Myth's Been Offended

Very interesting comment, mc8541a. If there were a woman married 25 years who still believed in love at first sight I think that'd be kind of sweet. And I'm not sure I agree that "myths are for daydreams," but perhaps I don't fully understand where you're coming from on that? Myths are a part of all of our makeups whether we realize it or not. Even the bible is a sort of myth. All religions have them. As do all societies. I'm not sure we can escape myths. Perhaps you're trying to say we shouldn't let them guide us?

Thanks, Michele! Yes, I'm grateful he came home. I was surprised to see him. He didn't say he was coming. He just kept saying he was sorry. And I gave up changing him long ago. Ain't no changing that boy! Still...I do hope sometimes, like I did about the ring, that he might surprise me. A girl can have her fantasies, after all. Right??? Thanks for the comment. You always know what to say to make me smile!

Your Personal Love Myth and Your Relationship

17 Sep 2008 09:43 AM

Okay, so maybe I could've picked a better analogy, BUT...you never know. Some people don't discuss such things. Heck, you'd think a lot of people would discuss money, children and politics before they tie the knot, but some don't. Which I find hard to believe, but it happens all the time. And causes problems all the time. But, you're right, it might be hard to go 25 years without this coming up at some point... ;)

Sorry you've been so sick lately, Dale. Feel better soon.

Thanks for your thoughts on this, lavatea. You bring up a very interesting point of view. One I hadn't looked at before. Thanks.

Move Over, Batmobile!

Very cool article, Aimee! I'm planning on writing one about pet restraint systems in cars after looking through my Drs Foster and Smith catalog. There are tons in there. But I never thought about cars that would be hot with dog owner buyers. (I just know a mini-Cooper wasn't going to cut it for me and Murph. Not that I could've afforded it anyway, but I think they're so cute!)

How Long Does It Take to Get Over a Death?

Thanks for the wonderful, kind and ultra sympathetic advice, Beth.

What's Your Personal Love Myth?

Ooo! Good myths! Thanks for sharing, Jade.

An Anchor Loses His Anchor

What an awesomely touching sentiment, mc8541a! Us wives DO worry about losing our husbands sooner than need be. And quitting smoking, from what I gather, is one tough habit to kick. At least you're making an effort. It shows you view her concerns as valid and hear them. Sometimes having our concerns acknowldged helps. If you do try again my thoughts are with you that you have more success the next time around. Thanks for leaving such a wonderful comment. Your wife is loved, that's what your comments shows.
