Does she have a sister?

Bobbi

Janine, I'd say it's important because you love her, and you want her to love you. ALL of you.

Another thing to keep in mind when you talk to her, is that if she, in her own mind, sees CDing as...

There is nothing like that first step out the door. And you survived!!!! How 'bout that:-)...All I get in the mail is bills and junk, so at least you did something to make it worth while to go and...

It might be a good idea to try to separate the "dressing" from the "awkward position"...If nothing else, I doubt if she'll walk in unannounced anymore.

A therapist told me years ago that guilt is...

One thing that I'm sure you already know, is that teenagers hate to be embarrassed. My kids used to hate going to the mall with me. "Da-aad, you're dressed all (Forrest) Gumpy!!"

But they also...

Hi Lara,

First, make sure that your friend has plenty of time to chat and won't have to cut off the conversation early. She may have a few questions:-)

I told my favorite cousin by phone,...

Yeap, that's gotta hurt...HUGS!!...On the other hand, holding your head high, smiling instead of cowering. Kid's will be kids, and teens are good at what they do.

But living well is the best...

How sweet. And they still keep in touch. Hope you enjoy their visit. Please let us know what they've been up to.

Good for you! Good for him!! As a GP, and not a therapist, he sounds very, umm, enlightened? My GP believes in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms, so if your GP is trying to do the same...

My Dear S-S,

To be at peace with yourself, with all you've been through, is truly inspiring. I sense no bitterness or anger at what Life's thrown you. Here's hoping that the Best is truly yet to...

Eddie Izzard...My adult children turned me on to him.

I'm in no rush to chase rain showers, but have often hopped into the shower wearing a variety of delicates.

Lather, rinse, repeat...

Bobbi

Awe Julie, that's just soooo wonderful! You must've done a good job of raising him:-)

It's amazing how many sweet tears these stories provide. Thanks for my first one of the day.

Bobbi

Well said Misty! Wish I'd had the courage & knowledge, while I still had the body! I think it was Nora Ephron who said something along the lines of "Until around the age of 23, any time spent not...

Getting made is half the fun if you handle it right. Because it's your chance to say "Yeap, this is me. I do whatever I want, whenever I want. What are YOU hiding?"....Freedom is a very enviable...

...my thighs. Nylons!

So I go to a small, monthly, house party for the first time as Bobbi...Wrote a brief "Out & About" about it. And, as often happens, spent most of the time chatting with the...

Heya Stitch, glad to see your edit. I realized a long time ago that there would always be someone who was smarter than me. Or taller, or thinner, or richer, or...whatever....But there was absolutely...

Date?...Hhmmm...I'm not sure we'd ever get out of the bedroom, let alone the house. On the other hand, at least her clothes would fit me if I wanted to raid her closet.

Bobbi

I don't know that the urge is getting stronger, but the reasons to not go with it are getting weaker.

My kids are grown & gone. I'm single. Ibsen & Kristofferson wrote "Freedom's just another word...

I missed the chance to be a ****. A tease. A tramp. The power of being in a class when the desks were circled and being able to flash a boy across the room to the point of where he'd have to excuse...

Welcome Misty. Your Post was thought inducing. Your follow up Posts proved that you could Girl-Up. Hoping to hear more of your musings, which is how I took it.

No :-)'s or Smilies simply means...

Miranda,

Betcha wanted the weekend to never end, eh? There'll be others, but there's only one first time. Sounds like you made the most of it!

Bobbi

Heya Lisa Girl!!

I didn't see this before I sent ya the pm...

Glad to hear-see the details. Glad you weren't alone. Glad glad glad! Life will never be the same.

Well done!

Bobbi

Gives a whole new slant on the term Women's Lib, doesn't it? Enjoy!!

Bobbi

I am, by nature, a hugger. In guy mode, people will actually hustle across a room when they've had a rough day just for a heartfelt embrace.

But en femme, I'm afraid of knocking a boob loose, so I...
