I have a friend who might not want me to mention her name (Ceece) with whom I was discussing weight gain and loss. She was talking about our tendency to eat less when it's very hot. I've noticed I tend to crave more salads and fresh fruit when the temp is up in the...
I just have to draw some more attention to this blog, Big Fat Deal. I think I first linked it to mine about a year ago and it's just one of the best uses of a blog that I've seen. It's creator, Mopie ("more pie"), draws our attention to:- ignorant, rude and often...
I might as well run it here, too: Seeking guitarist for collaboration/performance. I sing, write songs, play electric bass. Acoustic, lyric-driven, alt pop. Let’s be unique and melodically irresistable. Listen to my sound at...
I will be at the Red Line Tap open mic tonight which starts at about 10:00 p.m. I've got to start singing again.
One friend read my previous post and the responses to it and pointed out to me the folllowing: if I HAD gotten married and divorced, I would now be beating myself up because I'd FAILED at marriage and it wouldn't matter if the entire dating world saw me as a step...
A friend recently pointed out that people who date, even for years and years, never really get to know each other until after they get married. That is, there's a level of intimacy and information people won't discover about each other unless they are actually legally...
I don't know what the situation is with other bloggers, but I've discovered what it is that motivates me to maintain this blog: unhappiness. Mostly pain, confusion and discontentment have driven my postings as I've used this website as a vehicle for my questions about...

If you or anyone you know is thinking of moving to San Diego, California here's my advice: don't do it. Why? My sister, Judy, has lived there for 15 years and here's what she has to say:Lots of San Diegans are looking for less costly places to live. It's gotten more...
Alanis Morissette's song "Ironic" has been criticized for lyrics that don't describe irony so much as situations that just suck. True irony is a situation that isn't necessarily bad and could even be good, but that does have an unexpected, bizarre kind of twist. The...
So I’m realizing that life is really, really boring unless I work at making it interesting. I feel bored with my music, my love life, my weight VIGILANCE, my job, my hair and my blog. Bored, bored, bored, bored.There is nothing inherently exciting or cool about...
Single-Women-Who-Date-Men, I think we really only have to remember two things, preferably BEFORE the first date begins: 1. Ask him, "Have you ever been married?" 2. If the answer is yes, ask him, "Are you married right now?" Do not date a married man. Don't do it even...
I'm answering this question asked by Modigli: Where do you meet these men you have been going on dates with? In my 23 years of dating, I have met men using every strategy I've ever heard of, including blind dating, online dating (various websites), speed dating,...
Single-Men-Who-Date-Women, if you get nothing else right on a first date, please PLEASE remember these two things: 1. Ask her questions. For every question she asks you, ask her one back. For every minute you talk, she should talk, too. 2. Do not touch your date. Let...
