Farmer's markets Posted: 7/2/2008 5:17:32 PM
My God, people! I read every message..and now...just after eating my supper...my mouth is salivating for some of those wonderful produce ideas you shared with us. Being a very "City girl"...when I was first married...I wanted to "learn" to put up fruit and vegetables like my neighbor lady did. Making strawberry preserves was about the only thing I did other than chow chow..and ice box pickles. I live in Omaha, Nebraska..and you can't drive very far without hitting a corn field. Nothing....nothing is as good as bi-color sweet corn....fresh peaches...(cobbler here I come) We have three HUGE farmers markets here...and Saturdays are full with travelling from one to the other. God forbid we miss out on a great bargain. There are also craft items...and baked goods...but I'm trying NOT to indulge in them for a while. Great ideas everyone...and darlin...thos butter beans sound absolutely fantastic! Hugs...Sandy

Question about married people and POF Posted: 7/1/2008 5:40:41 PM
Some of us are committed in a marriage where many vital things are missing. I am married..but I have needs that have gone unmet for more than 20 years. I thought it was my fault for the longest time. Quite accidentally I met someone who showed me what I had been missing..and NO, it was NOT my fault. I love my husband and have never refused him anything. I'm the one who longs for the sex life that many of you have out there....but do not have it here at home...so...I'm here....looking for others who are in committed relationships...who would not hurt their spouses for the world...but who have needs that have gone unmet for many years. I know...I should probably be the sacraficial lamb....and go without...but, for God's sake people...once you know how wonderful great sex can be...what's a gal to do???

Losing a loved one to death Posted: 6/24/2008 3:40:41 PM
I recently lost my best friend, Sharon to Leukemia. She spent the better part of 18 months battling...and just when we thought she'd licked it....she went into Liver and kidney failure..and ultimately her sweet little heart gave up. There are times when I can't believe she is gone. I saw her in the hospital....saw her on life support....prayed for her....cried for her....worked with her for more than 5 years. She was the sister I never had....and now she is gone. I hate it....I want to beat my fists against something...want to cry till I'm dry....but I know Sharon...she'd be ragging at me to "just quit!" What would your friend/loved one/ mate or partner wish for you? Sharon would want me to live my best life....without looking back at what once was. She always had my best interests at heart...and I firmly believe she's watching out for me somewhere in the great beyond. Life was so good with her in it....and so much less now that she's gone...but she would NOT want me to waste the time I have left...****ing and moaning about what once was...and live here in the NOW....the best way I can. S.

My dog is dying Posted: 2/26/2008 6:29:58 PM
Darling...I used to raise Shih Tzu's and we had the sire and the dam...who was the apple of my eye. She had three litters...4 in the first...5 in the second..and 6 in the last. She was such a good Mom...and Poppa wasn't so bad either. We had them and two that we kept from the first litter...the little runt AND...the biggest Shih Tzu I've ever seen. He was so big...that he was waaay out of the range for the breed. So..we kept them..and loved them. One by one....they became ill...first Biscuit..the Mom....then little Crumpet.....followed by her big brother..Bruiser...and finally Dad. All but Bruiser had to be put down. The first was the hardest...Biscuit was my heart...she was my special friend...and knowing she was very ill just about broke my heart. Our Vet...a young gal...just out of school....and I had a heart to heart talk. I knew our dog's liver was failing..and there was simply nothing I could do to change that. Dr. said to me...Biscuit was a faithful friend...and loved you all the years she was with you. She's in pain now....and I believe it's the fair thing to give her the shot that will help her slip into a forever sleep. I owed it to her...after all the wonderful things she did for us....and all that love.....so, I held her in my arms...and Dr. Tammy gave her a little shot.....and she drifted away. I did not want her to suffer....it was my last "gift to her." One by one...they became ill....Crumpet....Bruiser simply fell asleep one night and never woke up....but Crumpet and Dad....I made the decision...and each time I held them...and spoke softly to them....and relieved them of that horrible pain. They gave us so much love.....and we returned the favor. I know it's hard...but....your friend needs you to end her suffering. My heart goes out to you.....I wish your friend a peaceful passing. Hugs..Sandy

Younger guys that prefer dating older women but not getting far? Posted: 11/27/2007 1:09:44 PM
Thank you so much for your post. For many years I felt I was a cradle robber for wanting to be with men so much younger than I...but we seemed to click so much easier. It's comforting to know that there are men out there who appreciate the wisdom that history brings to us older women. Hugs to all you sweet younger men out there who can savor us seasoned gals. Hugs...Sandy
