Guest littlebirdie Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 1. I live on coffee most of the time-- For the first year or so, I did too. I was literally drinking a pot of coffee a day. I've seriously cut back to one mug in the morning, but for a while caffeine was the only thing that fueled me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 It's not even the caffeine- it does nothing for me. And if I'm really honest, I don't even like the coffee all that much anymore. It's just... habit. :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest littlebirdie Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Ah, I see. With me it was all about the caffeine. I couldn't sleep, so it kept me functional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcoxwell Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 1) I have almost completely converted to using paper plates and cups and plastic spoons, because I just don't have it in me to wash the dishes. 2) I also frequently use the the cheap, plastic containers to store leftovers, so that when said leftovers have taken on a life of their own (because I haven't bothered to clean out the fridge), I can just toss them in the trash, container and all, without feeling quite as guilty for throwing good money away. Again, it lets me avoid dishes. 3) If I could reasonably justify never cooking again (financially and nutritionally), and just eat drive through or take out for the rest of my life, I would, because, you guessed it, I could avoid washing dishes.

Guest TooSoon Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 In a confession long ago, I mentioned that the pizza man hugged me, indicating that maybe I had a problem both with pizza delivery frequency and with living in a town where the pizza guy heard about my husband through the Syrian-American grapevine and thus felt compelled to hug me. In a pizza delivery incident tonight, the new hipster pizza delivery man was so chatty and friendly, inquiring about the Union Jack in the planter by my front door (M's doing for our January visitor from the UK) and going on about his family and time in the UK, that for an instant I thought, maybe I should invite him in to join us for a slice?

Virgo Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Confession? I was home alone last night and was very tempted to allow a married man to come over. Not just to visit either. He is a friend. We talk a lot, and it gets a little inappropriate at times. I've known him and his wife for years. Yes they have a troubled marriage, but they are MARRIED. Why does 'skin hunger' make you so crazy?? I was mentally listing the pros and cons, seriously. :sigh: Really only one 'pro' here, and that was to satisfy my urges. Not good! Full disclosure, I haven't been with anyone since my husband passed away. I've never had casual sex, and I would have never even considered being with a married man before. A little disappointed in myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcoxwell Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Don't be - to be tempted is to be human. I agree. You chose not to give into the temptation, and that's what is truly important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgo Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Thanks, it looks like I'm going to have to continue to be the moral compass in this friendship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangomom Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Thanks, it looks like I'm going to have to continue to be the moral compass in this friendship. that is not an easy feat when our true north seems to be missing. Stay strong. A few minutes of pleasure is not worth the destruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trying Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Virgo, yes skin hunger can make you crazy! The important thing is you didn't so anything you would regret later. You may need to limit contact until these feelings subside because it's not easy to make the right decision when the flirting gets things going. Time to start dating maybe? Talking and flirting with available men could distract you from married guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacklessSally Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Sometimes it is easier for me to just believe that I wasn't good enough, and he left me... Instead of what really happened.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callobg Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I'm in the military and I spray my wife's perfume on my uniforms everyday. I also wear her lotions and deodorant. LSC, always and forever, you will be my love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catnip Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 1. I work full-time and bring a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, yogurt and an apple every day. Every single day. It's boring, but quick and cheap. 2. I've completely taken over my master bedroom. My husband died in the winter, and that spring I (and my sons) cleaned out his closet so I could bring out my summer clothes. Now I have a winter closet and a summer closet. I've taken over the bathroom. I have the entire medicine cabinet and vanity all to myself (my sons use the downstairs bath). I often wonder how I could ever live with someone again (it's been 8 years since he has been gone). But then again, how did I manage to live with him for 26 years??

November Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Hello everyone! My confessions are: *I try to remember the bad times me and my husband had so I won't feel sad. *I am now buying lots of foam plates and cups so I don't have to wash dishes. *I think I like my kid's soccer coach...Not sure if it's mutual..(But I think it's just me wanting it to be!) *There is another soccer mom whom I don't like- Let me tell you why. She's my age, she is super hot- thin/very good looking lady- and I don't like her because I've seen the soccer coach eyeing her. Well last weeks game I had to sit next to her and we started talking turns out she is very nice and easy to talk too-- Bitch!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gretchen437 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 If I don't get a break soon I feel I will snap. I have graduation, bar prep, exams, work, kids, everything boiling up and I feel I am failing in all of these areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DansSoulmate Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Here are a few of mine: >Last night I ate a candy bar and ice cream for dinner. But, in my defense, I did eat a healthy lunch. >At 6 months, the last towel Dan used is still hanging in the master bathroom. I'm not in a rush to move it. >I workout, clean the house and hang out on the deck listening to Dan's ipod. There are lots of great memories in those songs so it brings smiles and tears. >Early on I would "embrace" or "hug" his pillow, warm it up and then move it in position to "spoon" me. crazy, right?

November Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Over the weekend I will be in my hometown meeting a friend. I requested we eat at a restaurant that is near an ex-boyfriends house and I'm hoping I run into him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DansSoulmate Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 At 6 months, i feel fairly confident with all the decisions i've made so far but wonder which ones (if any) he would have challenged me on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 My 12-year-old son is determined to smoke. NO ONE in our family smokes. I have swept his room repeatedly, I have seized contraband, I have grounded him and taken away all his electronics, and somehow he is still finding ways to get cigarettes. I have no idea how he's doing it-- we just moved, he has no friends in the neighborhood, and I sincerely doubt the first grade girl across the street (the only other kid in the area, apparently) is helping him. While most of me wants to strangle him, part of me secretly admires his ingenuity. Also, I'm considering joining him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carey Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 lol Jen. I know it's not funny, but it's funny. Mine are doing the same thing. I have no CLUE where it comes from. And the 16 year old boy has decided to try his hand at drinking too, and he's JUST like his dad there. Which is scary. And yet right now Id love a bottle of Moscato. Or Three.
