She was always amazed because I remembered them so clearly. Sometimes she'd try to analyze them, but after a while she sort of gave up and came to the general conclusion I'm either a repressed genius or one tick away from the loony bin! A Marital Nightmare09 Sep 2008 07:05 PM Oh, yes, I wish I could blame it on "sleep hitting" but I am fully awake when I smack him. Guess I shouldn't fess up to spousal abuse, should I? A Marital Nightmare09 Sep 2008 04:09 PM I do believe you might be on to something, Realtalktime. I've wondered the very same thing myself. Thankfully I haven't had one of these dreams in a while now, but I'm going to try to pay heed to my emotional state when awake next time I do. I'll let you know if I end up uncovering the very diagnosis you gave. Thanks for the comment. Favorite Romance Movies- Part 209 Sep 2008 09:24 AM I always forget about The Illusionist, Dale, but it most definitely is a wonderful love story. I'm a sucker for Titanic as well as a small indie not many people have heard of called Dangerous Beauty. Atonement also ranks up on my list now, and one you had from your first blog: The Notebook. Neat picks to read. Fun article! Sarah Palin: Supermom or In Way Over Her Head?08 Sep 2008 09:57 AM I more than agree with you, DeeDee1231, that this IS 2008 and not 1908, women and women's rights have made HUGE strides and amen for that, but...it's no secret that us girls STILL are the ones primarily responsible for house and children --even when we do hold outside jobs. I can't remember the lady's name I saw on an interview about this recently, but this is the reason there are so many depressed, unhappy, and overmedicated (meaning on Zoloft and Prozac) women these days. We delude ourselves thinking we can do it all. That we can be equal to men. She brought up the point that it's still majority rules when it comes to single moms. There are some single dads out there, but that's the exception. And even with married couples, with both spouses working, it's still the mom who's overwhelmingly responsible for getting the kids up, dressed, and to school in the a.m., as well as picking them up after, because husbands don't. Unless asked. (not in all cases, obviously, but most of them) It's such an unrealistic, not to mention silly, goal to strive for. (Being equal to men.) When did we get the notion we weren't? Just because we're not men? We are not men. We are women. By nature we are nurturing and compassionate. This does not mean we should not have jobs. Please, please, please don't take me to mean that. But historically men have always had wives to rear the children and run the homes to free them to concentrate on their work pursuits. It also doesn't mean we're less than or not equal to. We're just different. No one would expect an apple to suddenly be like an orange! All I'm saying is that for the most part women don't have the same luxury as men when children are involved. Unless their husband is a stay-at-home dad. Granted, Palin's husband does sound to participate in his childrens' lives. But he kind of has to because guess what the wife's doing? And this is great. More power to her if she can step up like that. My concern is not that she's doing it. It's that hopefully someone (preferably one of the parents) is loving up those kids. She had them, they should come first and their needs shouldn't be neglected! Favorite Romance Movies08 Sep 2008 08:33 AM The movie is called Nights in Rodanthe. And don't feel bad, Dale...not only did I not know the movie was coming out, I've never heard of this from him. (But I'm not a huge Nicholas Sparks follower either. I only know a handful of his books.) And feel better! Sorry to hear you got hit with the flu. Take care yourself. My Mother-in-Law08 Sep 2008 07:02 AM Oh wow, mrmnmom82, it's so nice to know someone else who gets this. Thanks so much for sharing. I'm psyched to know someone who understands the dilemma! Coping with Death06 Sep 2008 11:54 AM I loved the message in this article, Beth. One of my biggest blessings this past year was being able to be there with my mom through her dying process. When she entered her Death Sleep, there was so much energy in the room. It reminded me of another blessed event I was there to witness: the birth of one of my friend's children. There was energy there too. Dying and Birth both have energies. I wish my mom hadn't had the dementia clouding her mind, because I think she might have been able to embrace the gift of knowing her days were numbered and spending them a little better. It's sure made me realize what I want when I'm still alive and have the chance to grasp it, and how, if I'm ever diagnosed with a terminal illness, how I'll approach it. Very lovely article. Dogs Who Fake Limps for Sympathy06 Sep 2008 11:17 AM Hehehehehe! That is so cute, Aimee. I never knew dogs could be such drama queens, but there you go. Even you have a story about it! So funny! 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 |
