    a little bittersweet

    My husband passed a short time ago. He was my son's baseball coach along with many of our local boys. He knew his cancer was terminal and still coached. He stood as first base coach for an entire season and bawled every time they did their best. Now, when my son and his friends get up to bat...

    Do you consider pets a part of the family?

    I'm so sorry. I've been there and know the pain. I have four chihuahuas and am widowed. The one thing that will determine any prospective dates will be if they totally accept my babies as family members! Blessings, Mare

    car or motion sickness

    I only get sick when I can't look out of the front window. I can't read or watch the scenery out the side of the vehicle. Also, my aunts use a bandaide to keep a penny at their wrist and swear by it. Odd, but true. Blessings, Mare

    Biking or walking?

    Good question and answers. I can't bike because I busted my tailbone years ago and the seat irritates the end of my spinal cord. I LOVE walking. Blessings, Mare

    Competition vs. "Everyone Wins"

    How else do we find out what we're good at? How else do we find out how much we need to improve if we don't excell in something we really have an interest in? As grownups, the score will be kept at one level or another. After a certain age, I wouldn't put my child in something where the score...

    The truth about meal frequency

    I am unable to eat that frequently. I work in an office on a computer all day. They don't allow any type of food at our stations. I do think frequency is a better idea, it just isn't practical for me. But, I'm losing weight just fine any way. I am working out pretty regularly too. Interesting...

    Do guys go to the gym to pick up girls?

    All the men at the YMCA that I go to are older than what I'm attracted to. I get off earlier than most, perhaps it's the retired gentlemen I see. The men my age are probably still at work. So, it's not an issue for me. Blessings, Mare

    Sometimes, the purpose is unclear...

    I understand your pain. I lost my husband to cancer. I know that God allows free will. Man has created an environment that leads to cancer through smoke, additivies to our foods, chemicals in our water, etc. Still, why my husband? Somehow, through time and prayer, I have to trust in Him. You are...

    my mom might have cancer :(

    Bless your heart. I guess the upside is that she doesn't need her uterus to live. I pray they remove what they need to and she won't have to deal with it anymore! Blessings, Mare

    not liking the things happening to my body

    Oh sweetie, nothing wrong with taking care of yourself. I wish we were closer, we could go get pedicures together. Nothing like a foot massage to perk up a lady. I am prone to be picky about myself too. I have recently become a widow, and all of a sudden everything matters. It's a challange, but...

    Moving on too quickly?

    I am in the same quandry. My husband of 25 years passed last month of brain cancer. We cared for him like an infant for almost 2 years. The disease progressed at the end, until we were begging God to take him. I feel total peace now. I'm not a cold woman. I loved my husband. Perhaps it's...
