The “Still Single?” Stigma

Posted by | Dating, Lifestyle, Sex | No Comments

Say that ten times fast, betcha can’t!  lol well tongue twisters aside, being single can seem like a life twister too. For some unfathomable reason, people have a hard time seeing each other single.

Why it’s almost as if, well if one of us has the courage to make up our own  mind about our own life and most especially our own relationship status, then it must mean that the paired up among us are what? Too easily influenced by others and DON’T have the courage to make their own decisions in life? hmm? Could that be the real reason we get hounded at every family gathering, Christmas party etc. asking about whether or not we’ve found someone to leave stinky, balled-up socks under our beds?

extraordinary origins

Posted by | Lifestyle | No Comments

Who doesn’t love a good origin story, right? Batman and his parent’s night at the opera ruined by a crazy clown asking weird riddles whilst pointing a gun. The Bionic Woman’s parachute failing to open, Mr. Magoo, falling into a vat of acid….OK, THAT never happened but it would’ve explained his terrible eyesight! Right? Read More

Get thinking about Drinking

Should you quit drinking?

We all love drinking to some degree. It seems it is an integral part of our lives in the culture we live in. It is firmly enmeshed in our lives in some way or another. Alcohol to celebrate, the “God I need a drink days” and the summer day cold beer is an absolute must. All of our movies, TV, books, stories we share with friends, stories our parents told us, we all have alcohol stories. But is it necessary in our lives and just how much damage does alcohol do? Is it worth it? Would we be able to have as much fun without it? With it? Let’s have a look at our lives and see; should we give up drinking?
The hangover
Let’s face it, we’ve all been hungover to some degree or another. Unlike the movies, we rarely wake up married to find a sexy tiger in the bathroom. (er, you can take that literally or figuratively) Read More

What time is it? Spring forward time!

Posted by | Lifestyle | No Comments

Spring forward and Fall back. That’s how I always remember which is which. That joyful time in the fall when, if at the pub or the club, you get an extra hour before last call…and on the converse side that dammit moment when you realize you get one less hour of fun that night!  Not to mention having to catch up on sleep somehow and being late for everything for a week or so and that weird feeling that it is either too light out or too dark out.

Just what is Daylight Savings Time and why do we do it? Read More

how to enjoy the rest of February

Posted by | Lifestyle | No Comments

Now that Valentine’s Day is over, however do we get through the rest of this miserable month? We’ve gone through our self-assessment, house-cleaning, wardrobe inspection and still we have the rest of February to deal with. Now is a good time to find some local activities to get involved with. We had a wonderful snowshoe hike through one of our local popular nature trails and it was just wonderful! Read More

Be true to yourself

Posted by | Dating, Lifestyle | No Comments

Well Halloween is over and now we have the way-too-soon Christmas season upon us. If you are like most of us it’s, well, way too soon. I always think of November as my contemplative month. I do a lot of soul-searching and review the past year and plan for the winter, the holidays and the coming new year.  I have even participated in the naNoWriMo, the national novel writing month. (Though you’d think for writers they’d come up with a more catchy moniker!) Where I wrote a book in a month! Read More
