Oooo, I would like to see those too! Something new for me to hound up. Thanks!

Thoughts on Marriage and Monogamy

07 Mar 2008 06:51 AM

Thanks for all your excellent and insightful comments, ladies!

Kara, I'm with you. My feelings would get hurt knowing whoever I was with and who had feelings for me had feelings for others. Because I'm like how you,Tristi and Jade implied...with one or no one. I'm a terrible multi-tasker and in no way, shape, or form would I be good at juggling more than one relationship at once.

And Aimee...OOOOOOH! You had some more good what ifs! I hadn't thought about it from that perspective. I think you might just have sparked another article...THANKS! =)

Lisa, you will always hold a special place in my heart! I've told you this before, but I am so thankful that you took a chance on me and hired me on when you were Community Manager. It has changed my life. I love being a part of Families.com and having met all the wonderful people I have here. Truly, I've found a family here and it all started with you accepting my application! THANK YOU!

Beth, I always am so tickled to find your articles. You cover the Mental Health section so brilliantly. I have found many things to link to within my own articles --which is good and bad. Inevitably I get distracted and end up reading more of your stuff rather than just doing my research and finding my links. But that's okay. I learn so much!

Why Does My Cat Chatter His Teeth?

06 Mar 2008 08:31 AM

When Mr. Meow does this (which I love) I say he's cussing again. He looks so mad when he runs to the window chattering. It's great! Always cracks me up. He's very vocal and does this not only when he spies a bird, rabbit, lizard or another cat but also when the doorbell rings! My little guard cat!

Wii Love Bowling!

05 Mar 2008 07:52 AM

The bowling is a blast, but I'm with Poliscmjr --tennis rocks! And Mary Ann, another one that really gets you moving is the boxing. That's a cardio workout BIG TIME (and good stress reliever. ;) Also, a lot of the games in the Mario vs Sonic Olympics. The 400 M swimming relay really wears your out. My husband is a swimmer and I can't compete with him in a real pool but I give him his money's worth on the Wii. FUN!!!

Alli: Don't Waste Your Money

05 Mar 2008 07:46 AM

A friend of mine took a diet drug prescribed by her doctor and had lost a lot of weight (but it wasn't this one) and I have to admit I was almost considering trying Alli --until I read your post. I'd much rather cut 25% of my fat, thank you very much, than "blow my drawers out" (hysterical by the way!)

Gastric Banding Sucks

05 Mar 2008 07:35 AM

Wayne's aunt had this done, then decided to have it removed after all the problems she was having. THAT put her in the hospital near death when the surgery went awry and she developed an antibiotic-resistant infection. She's finally out of the hospital and home, but she has to watch what she eats now not just because she might put back on the weight but because there's a chance her stomach might rupture. Scary.

Couple Sleep Patterns

04 Mar 2008 08:21 AM

I love to cuddle pre-sleep, but once I start drifting off I drift back to my side of the bed. And then that's where we stay, each on our sides of the bed, until good morning kiss time. I don't think I've ever fallen asleep cuddling on Wayne before. Sounds nice but wouldn't be comfortable...he's too boney!

Causes of Dry Spells

04 Mar 2008 08:18 AM

Jade and Amber, thanks for your understanding and suggestions. I will check out that book. Thanks for that great tip! And, yes, I desperately need to exercise more. I do believe that's a huge problem. And a little more sleep probably wouldn't hurt me either...nor would a little alone time. ;) Thanks for the compassion girls!
