Dr. Chapman has a new book out, something like, "Towards a Growing Marriage." I haven't read it yet, though Dr. Chapman has a seminar in the nearby area in a couple of weekends. My sister & her H are going and asked us we wanted to go. Well, we do, but NOW hates to be running around in bad weather, so she's kind of holding off until the last minute to make that decision. (Here's hoping we get to go.)

RH, I am feeling loved, cherished, special, significant, for the first time in my married life, actually, in all my life, (besides what I get from my boys)

He is doing so much for me, so much with me, I'm absolutely feeling loved, I just have to trust his love more, and make it easier for him to love me. Believe it or not, I can be hard to live with . <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

The physical part is so hormonal for me, for all woman, I think. I can love him like no other for 2 weeks, then I freeze. He then feels unloved, I still love him, but I just don't show him in his language, because of my "mood" or hormonal shift.

Can anybody help me with that??????? Is there a Doctor in the village? We really need a doctor, with a script pad. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Let's recruit one of these newbies. Hell, Caren???

RH, GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And take us too. What a great opportunity. I'll have to check out that book too. My resolution, to read more. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Shall we start a book club??? Anybody, except Robby, anybody. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Book club? As long as you're not fast readers. I started reading Passionate Marriage back around Labor Day and still haven't finished it. It's interesting but the author is so much above me it's not funny.

Didn't you say something about enjoying being that big (or something to that effect).

Morning RIF

Morning/Evening AW

Morning FAA (it is morning where you live right? I don't remember what part of the country you come from, and I'm assuming its the US?)

<small>[ January 05, 2005, 08:34 AM: Message edited by: Recovering H ]</small>

Hi FAA - I'm actually a mobilized reservist... spent 11 yrs on active duty and got tired of moving around... I've been deployed more as a reservist than when I was AD.... go figure.

I'm not really a "lifer" but I've got 18 years in so I might as well stick it out until I get 20.

Let's see.... deploying about every two years... Rats <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" /> , I'll probably have at least one more of these deployments before I can retire... My W will just LOVE that! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Hey Jelly Bling!! How are you doing this morning?

Hey RH - How goes it with you this morning?

<small>[ January 05, 2005, 08:38 AM: Message edited by: RIF ]</small>

Morning RH. It is morning. I am in Canada. West Coast. 200 miles north of Seattle or so. God's country <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

OK, I got that Robby wants a coffee, black, but, sorry - 4 years and an honors course in Spanish, and - well, it's like everything else - Use it or loose it, BABY!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

KY's right, Robby is being a bit sappy this morning!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> But that's ok!!

To answer your question Robby, ie. Is the pain different - better or worse or ?? - I haven't thought about it, but I will...will try to get back to you with an answer!

KY - don't feel bad - my H's language (I think - I need to read that one too!) would be touch...and you'd think I wouldn't have the two weeks on two weeks off thing, now, but somehow, I still do - that's part of our problem of late - he's feeling neglected, and I'm saying how much more can I do and still function with the rest of my life? UGH!!!! MEN!!!!

AW - how's that baby?? Can I borrow him/her when KY gets done? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> Hope you and A2 got some resolution yesterday!!

Hey RIF, FAA, Faithful, Believer, Kimmy, LINY, Brown, RH, NOW, Caren (Welcome, btw), et al etal!! (waving, can you see it??)

RIF, much better, with your acknowledgement, thanks. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> I'm very petty. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

RH, I gained 55 lbs with both boys, but that so doesn't count, and yes that was blissful having a belly.

This is soooooo different. Although my belly is still flat, I know have handles all over the rest of me, my arms, OMG, my arms, they are my mothers, my butt, can you say J-LO. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> Oh, and my thighs, pretty soon you can call me Sandpaper Sally, from all the rubbing together they will be doing. A woman's perspective of herself, not a lovely thing. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

I don't know if we made it up as much as he acts like nothing happened.

I think I hit him with too much, the chair the table...no not really just felt like it!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/mad.gif" />

He was supposed to come to the 11 th week scan but didn't. Not too worried about that.
but now he seems ok & back to normal

You are real purdy, Jel, inside and out!

Morning Lemon! Your post yesterday re NC gave me peace.

Sorry 'bout the hot tub, Starz. I'm thinking you need to upgrade to an Endless Pool so you won't trigger. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Morning everyone! I missed you RIF!

Bob, hope your bacation was kickin!

Believer! 25K?????? Holy moly...were they pissed at you when they moved?

AW...better this morning? What's for dinner? I'm hummy (hungry, when Little Leo was 3).

Robby...how was Oh-HI-o? Oh. It's noon somewhere....I'll take a Red Draw - please use Shiner.

GC!!! Post darnitall! We love you!

Where's Weaver? I want to go fishin'.

RH, where is NOW? Did you tell her I loved your card?

FF - I'm here lifting you up sweetie. That's what girlfriends are for.

Settle down ST.

FA-A - I think you rock-et! You are doing a bang-up plan A, IMO.

To any I might've missed: POST DARNIT! The more the merrier.

- Kimmy

Morning Kimmy, guess what we have SNOW!!!! Lots more coming too, I'm so excited. Cross your fingers, my kids could have a snowday by Friday. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

ROBBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you learned NOTHING??? A woman can poke fun at her flaws all she wants, a girlfriend MAY get away with doing it....but a man is just gunning for a fight he will never win and never be forgiven for if he even accidentally implies any shortcomings....

Geez. I swear we need a men's training course.

But then, I suppose a buzz collar would do the same thing.

Good morning ijuts. My DSL is down and I am dial up <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> So, can't catch up just wanted to say good morning and say I HATE SBC!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/mad.gif" />

Hey AW - so have you and aussie kissed and made up yet??? That's always my favorite part, kissing and making out... I mean making UP ... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Morning Kimmy! Long time no see! Hope all is going well with you!

Hey FF - How are you doing? Dial Up really sucks... we were having problems with our PC while I was on R&R so I didn't even bother trying to log on here...

Donkey-shun!

Gotta love a bartending mayor.

Kimmy,

I can tease because she is like my little sister...

Apparently little only by age!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />
