I'd like some of that... er... I mean a calendar, of course

Wow! Amazing talent!

Absolutely!

That first sip of beer, on a Friday afternoon after work, surrounded by a good group of friends. Ahhhh

Happy Belated Birthday! I read the blog - great entrepreneurial story. I wondered though, it was such a huge geographic switch from Hollywood FL to Woburn MA. What prompted that (besides space)?

Perhaps if more women and men read your post, we wouldn't have the other thread about frigid women? Nice insight Mikayla

Tried it once and didn't like the feeling. It's nice to know there are others out there who felt the same way. Thought I was one of the only people who didn't.

"Sideways"

Flutter - you're beautiful. Love your heart shaped mouth. Sorry about your breakup. Seems like it's getting to be epidemic proportions. I just got a call from a cousin who's husband "needed a break." sigh...

Congrats Synirr. I also found this to be a new accomplishment. But I'll be honest - it was due to the articles that I read here on TT! Actually, I found it rather erotic for myself that I was able to do this. And he does appreciate that I can swallow - again, never could do it without the help of those articles.

You never really know Suzy. There are always two sides to every story. Married guy who was confiding to me was pretty convincing though. I suggested counseling. He said he has tried and it was met with the comment that he gets any time he suggests anything, "Why don't you just leave me alone." I feel bad for both of them. I can not imagine living in that type of existence - sex or no sex, it just doesn't even seem to be a pleasant living environment. It makes me feel a slightly bit more content in my aloneness. Keyword is slight.

One guy I know told me that since their child was born, he's been shut off. Trying to be diplomatic, I said that maybe she's exhausted from taking care of the baby all day and perhaps he should tell her honestly that he feels neglected. He said he's tried. It's been over a year and a half with no attention what so ever. He even takes over the "baby duties" when he gets home from work and on the weekends, as well as cooking meals, and cleaning up. She's not mean to him, but she virtually ignores his presence. I'll tell you, what it would have meant to me to have someone that conscientious. I'm not complaining. I loved my life then - even though it was tiring. (three kids in five years.) I remember my oldest daughter was having a hard time falling asleep. I was kneeling by her bed, stroking her hair and humming to her. My husband-at-the-time stopped in front of the door of the room and commented how he would love for me to do that to him. That's when I realized that I needed to spend more time on him...not that I didn't give him any attention - but it showed me that he needed a little bit more.

Well said SP. There must be an epidemic of this going on. Seems like lately I've heard a lot of this. Add to it, wives using the kids as emotional blackmail if the husband dares to suggest that the marriage might need some help. All I can do is shake my head.

I'm overweight. I need to get back to the gym. I'm too sensitive. I need to stop taking things so personally. My self esteem and confidence goes up and down. I need to believe in myself more.

Excellent article Sun. Your daughters are lucky to have a mom who is so aware. I guess it's comforting to know that there are so many other women who have battled these demons as I have, though part of me wishes it were not so. From what I've come to know of all of you, you are remarkable, strong, witty, and sexy women. I would not have imagined that self esteem was ever an issue. Kudos to you all! I still battle it. I have peaks and valleys of confidence, though lately it feels that I've been wallowing in a valley lately.

my goodness, today with my fwb was outstanding.

Why can't I sleeep through the night?

I could think of other places you could be besides the teacher's lounge...

too funny. Not sure if this counts either but befoe we got married, we bought a sailboat. I had taken a how-to-sail book out of the library (we only knew basics.) But when I returned it, I didn't realize there was a condom wrapper in it from when we "christened" the boat. The librarian stopped me before I left and asked me if I wanted my bookmark back.

Snakeman - I don't know what to say. Call me a wimp, but I wouldn't be anywhere near those rattlesnakes and copperheads. I guess it's like any thing else, you need to learn about them and how to handle them. How long have you been growing your beard?

Suzy - you are adorable & sexy! I love the corset top.

What a hottie!

Blue, count me in. You may have your hands full advertising like that on this site. lol. One of my best friends is 22 years older than her SO. He was 21 when they connected. She carded him-seriously. They've been together for five years now.

That was EXACTLY my random thought.
