ok I am really irritated. Just got parents magazine and on the cover it says" Great discipline strategies: works on husbands too"
Hey!! so many things wrong with that!
1- assumes dads don't read the magazine or have interest in learning parenting techniques
2-assumes dad is infantile and unable to be a grown up
3- assumes it's mom's right/responsibility to discipline her husband

I really hate that!!! It's right up there with the whole t.v. trend of bratty selfish kids that get laughs for their wild/bratty behavior and have t.v. parents who act like this is normal kid behavior....ARGH!!!! sorry odd venting moment:)

I choose to rise instead of fall- U2

You can't seriously meant that, can you? That's my name...although spelled Traci. (13, I can sympathize with the spelling issue. I was just looking at an CD of my friend's band and they thank me in the cover...spelling my name wrong, of course. Ugh. ) I have never really like Traci. It's okay, but can you picture me at 75 being called that? It's just not a grown-up name. And I can't tell you how often people call me Stacy.

I think Lila is very pretty. Braedan is pretty cool too (did I just spell that wrong?

) That is a the last name of a very good friend from college so it just brings smiles to me face. He's the bomb.

FMF, I started going gray around 20. I have no idea how much gray I've got now, but I would guess at least 50%. I've been dark red: which I really liked but it faded FAST, blond: which is what I like most and what I was as a kid, but it got too blond, and am now dark brown due to a poor color job. They were just suppose to darken my too blond up a little, to a Jennifer Aniston gold color, and instead I came out Sandra Bullock Brown.

Coloring is a pain, but my natural color is just blah. Blond has been the easiest to maintain because you only have to do the roots every 6 weeks. The other colors fade so much I have to do all over color every 6 weeks.

Okay back to work for a bit....

FMF, how can you not like the name Tracy? Any name that appears in Firefly is fine by me!

As far as names go, I've always liked the idea of giving a child a traditional first name and an unusual middle name. That way the substitute teacher won't mispronounce their name, but they can always go by their middle name if they end up being the 5th Jessica in their class or whatever.

The two names I've been toying with are Alexander Tristram (which the hubby nixed, mostly because he knows I'd call him Xander, lol) and Jacqueline Arden. Course, with children looking less and less likely for us, I'll just have to help my siblings pick out names for their kids, hehe. I expect to have many nieces and nephews.

Sure, if you count "well if you don't know why I'm angry I'm sure not going to tell you" as good communication.

Can you tell I was expected to be a reader back when I was married?

PR, thank you for the back-up. I'm a bit touchy on the subject of sex and couples lately, so forgive me if I harped a bit. I understand the cooling off, but that should never completely kill the desire. My ex-wife and I, by your definition, were "friends" for the last 6-8 months of our marriage. Well, we weren't actually friends, either...but that's not the point here. Look at the word "couple". One of the meanings is to link together, and "copulate" is also derived from the word. I am a firm believer in trying new things, spicing up the sex, whatever it takes, but I expect the same from my partner. Without passion there is little desire.
Oh, and as far as the bi-question "would you boink them"...I tried that out, PR, and the response I got was "Oh, yeah...can I?"
