Thank you all for the sweet and kind thoughts. I haven't been through this since right before my Buddha boy came into my life, and sadly, it wasn't as intense feeling as it is now.

Ladies - I just lost my 14-yr old cat yesterday to illness. My heart is breaking as a result. Any suggestions for dealing with the feels? This was my child for all intents and purposes.

Gee we must be sisters. I have a good stepfather but the biodad is/was pitiful.

I love the woman in orange at the 1 minute mark - absolutely fantastic.

The eternal cooking question for me and my mom is how did Gran cook that. My Gran was never secretive about her recipes but there are some things that Mom and I can't replicate. Meatloaf cooked on top of the stove, vegetable soup. I even have her pots but it's just not the same.

Stapler & scissors? Do tell.

OK peeps - how does one get out of the greys?

I'm a Nair fanatic but I've found I need to leave it on close to the max time to get best results. I've had my face lasered and have been very happy with it. Pain was minimal and cost was reasonable. I'm thinking about getting my legs and underarms done too. Fortunately I was able to do this through the gyno's office…

TriLamBoy1 & I used condoms for 5 years. Most of the time we backed it up with whatever spermicidal product was available at the time. Only had 1 scare which was due to my very unpredictable cycle, not our BC usage. I was more than happy with this method as was he. When TriLamBoy2 came into the picture I followed the…

Situational awareness y'all. Not every occasion requires the use of cursing. I'm a 18-year veteran of teaching high school. I manage to not swear while at work, as tempting as it may be. I have learned to turn it off and on as appropriate. If my patience is stretched so thin that I must swear then I use a nonsense…

same here - it's a sure sign that I'm ovulating. That and the crazy sexy dreams.

Thanks for the info. :) You've given me a lot to think about - but in a good way. Can I pick you brain again if I have any other questions?

Thanks so much for the info. It makes me feel better about even considering this. :)

I asked MaryEllen216 some CL-related questions and I would like to ask the same of you.

I would like to pick your brain, and those of the other Jezzies, who are using CL, if that's alright with ya'll. I am seriously contemplating CL for the same purposes due to a very very long drought in the bed.I really don't mean to pry or get overly personal, but I am very curious about the possibilitites.

Here in NOLA most people, myself included, seem to eat our po-boys from the end. I cut it into smaller pieces so I don't make as much of a mess out of myself when I eat that sloppy roast beef or french fry po-boy.

Hey ya'll - got a "fashion" question for you. What is your take on matchy bra/underwear combos? In theory I like them but I have this OCD thing that makes me want to match the undergarment color to that of the outer clothing so it is less visible. Like dark bra with a dark top, etc. This is a prob for me since I might…

I've gotten mine the all-purpose, year-round gift - season tickets to the theater. Tonight we're going to see Wicked on its tour here. With these I just have to buy her a card at each of the various holidays and she's happy as a clam. it's made gift giving so much easier for me.

Michael Kors by .... is amazing any time of year. Paris by YSL and Coco by Chanel are two of my long time favorites. Champs de Elysee by Guerlaine and Gardenia by Elizabeth Taylor are nice florals.

This! I teach high school and get this all the time while my evaluation depends their test scores that they don't care about.
