Book "Curse of the Singles Table"

I am reading this book right now and enjoying it - especially her several chapters of her online dating escapades. Makes me feel right at home. The part I really do NOT like is her going on and on about how awful it is to be a single person over the age of 30 and how "you must be thinking I am a troll or emotionally/mentally defective because I went 3 whole years without sex". Ummm, no. I know plenty of wonderful women that have dry spells. It doesn't make them ugly or horrible people. She seems to always be justifying about how everyone must be thinking how awful she is since she went so long. Pretty annoying considering I am in a bit of a drought right now myself and do not consider myself a troll nor an emotional/mental defective! I kind of resent her implying that anyone that has gone or is going through this must have something wrong with them. Maybe that will be the big realization at the end, that there really is nothing wrong, but I don't know! :-)

>>You hold LG still and I will beat him upside the head with B.O.B until he cries uncle.<<
You know, I see this was edited... I could have sworn the first time I read it, it said that YOU would hold LG and that *I* would beat his head with your BOB.
And all I could think was "um, no thanks, I'd rather not touch BOB unless I have some gloves on."
Nothing personal... it's just me and BOB, we've been different places in life, if you know what I mean. LOL
No, no.....what I actually edited was the reassurance to LG about how much I loved him (which I am sure you know was a wuote from "Steel Magnolias"). I had originally written "as much as my luggage" but realized that the correct quote was "more than".
