It’s funny but when I feel good I really tend to take it for granted. I know that sounds silly but when I have an ache I realize how lucky I was to feel good… know what I mean?
Similarly I feel bad for people who are in pain all the time. Like someone who is in pain just walking. Like someone who has arthritis - that would be really tough

Do you have kids? After you had them did you have any interest in sex? I mean I think most moms take a break from that for a little while until we are more rested. Then we are back to ourselves BUT what about wearing sexy lingere? Do you bother? Or do you even feel sexy after having kids? It took me a while but I’m back to that sexy feeling… but then again, I’m also single so maybe that’s why…

I’ve been thinking doing some home renovations this year. I’m pretty sure I can learn how to do most things as long as something like heavy lifting isn’t involved 
I’m thinking all I need is a course or two at the local Home Depot and voila, I can install my own faucets. Not that I’m very picky, I just want a faucet that has a “squirty thing” LOL!

Life is pretty good I have to say . Right now I’m curled up in a recliner watching a movie as I type this and I feel darn lucky. Really I do… I just ate good food, I have a full belly, and I’m snuggled up with great company . I think I’ll just grab a glass of wine and settle in. Good night

Have you? I have eaten Fig Newtons and REALLY liked them but I’ve never eaten a fig… just on it’s own - fresh and green/red. It’s on my to-do list though. I’m just not sure if I need to peel them or if I need to dry the fruit first or maybe cook it??? I dont’ want to eat it raw and then find out that I did it totally wrong. Hmmm… I need to find a fig-eating friend to ask

Somtimes I wonder if I’ll ever find someone else with a sense of humour like mine and then I worry that, because it is so odd, maybe I never will
While most people have a sense of humour that is pretty centre of the line of what society thinks is funny, mine seems to operate on the outside of that line. I like to watch Familly Guy for pete’s sake - how many fun, single guys my age watch that show??!! Not too many I’d wager; certainly not enough to be easy to find. Hmmm…

Things are getting crazy. Gas prices are almost a dollar a litre and don’t even get me started on repairs - wow. My van is pretty darn old but I feel okay about it. My friends understand that I’m saving money for a new vehicle and that I really don’t want to have to make car/van or truck payments. I’ts just so expensive - even insurance is expensive. It seems like I’m paying so many fees for the priveledge of driving. Crazy!

It really does sneak up on me - when I have it and also when my girlfriends have it LOL! I don’t know if it’s a shortage of a hormone or to much of it - or if it’s an estrogen issue, but man oh man something happens that causes a total personality shift. I used to wonder if it was real or if it just happened because I was expecting it BUT I’ve found that even if I’m not charting my cycle it still happens like clock work… Oh the joys of being a girl

There are things that happen in life that I just don’t understand. Things that make me wonder how there possibly be a God. I mean, child pornography, rape, child abuse are awful things. Then there are the things that just happen for whatever reason - some call it God’s Will. Like the very fact that there are cerebral palsy lawyers is scary. That means that there are enough babies being born early or through some error that has brought about this condition. Why? Why do that to a child and why do that to her/his parents? Why would God need to have this child be so tested throughout her/his life? I just don’t understand it. And yes, for the record, I know that I’m not always supposed to understand or even to question “why?” but it’s tough not to.

Many of us love to wear jerseys of our favourite sports guys or wear logos of our favourite brands. In fact, those promotional items are big business. I’ve never thought anything of it before a motivational speaker explained it in terms like this:
When you wear a jersey with someone else’s name on it, or someone else’s number, you’re saying to the world “I don’t want to be me. This guy is way better than I am”. No! Wear your own number. Be proud of who YOU are.
I loved that and it really made me think. Not that I’m giving up my Leafs jersey mind you… but it did make me think
