quiet lately! We used to have so much to write about and so much stuff to talk about. It just seems that in the last months it's been unusually quiet. What's up? Any ideas to perk this board up again? What happened to Wednesday Woes or otherwise? We had some sizzling topics. We should try to sizzle that up again. Try to post more about sexy topics or taboos, as well as what's going on with our kids, our lives outside of dating and otherwise. AS WELL AS ALL OUR DATING EXPERIENCES. I'd like to see this happen more again. Not to discourage the newbies, but we used to post so MUCH in one day that I hardly see much of a change now. Let's brainstorm and think of daily stuff we could just post. Like Monday Minutes (from the weekend), Tuesday Tantrums/Tempers/Temptations, Wednesday Woes, Thursday Thrills, Friday Five. Then something for us Weekend lurkers; sexy saturday and sinnful sundays (lol). I hardly hear how anyone is doing outside of the dating. How are you handling your schedules, your job, your finances. The everyday worries of singlehood or the everyday joys of it and that of motherhood. The feelings aside from the dating. Can we boost this all up a bit. We had a very emotional post back in December and it seems alot has changed since then. I would like to see it change again. We all love each other, all support each other and I just get this feeling that alot of gut feeling (except for a few) is no longer being posted, but everything is being posted very carefully. I don't want to step on anyone's toe's, but does ANYONE get this feeling, or is it just me? Give me your update, brainstorm with me, let's get this board rollin again!

Huggin you all!

I know exACTLY what you mean. I get hopeful, excited and all that way soon. You hate to be so happy so early, because it often doesn't last. Like the thing with izzy...sometimes it looks good to begin with, then you find out things that aren't so great.


I've done that here, though....being a happy idiot right off and then cooling to the subject. I think people here understand when you do that, but sometimes you still feel stupid doing it. :)


Don't worry...

I don't think you are stupid for the fun you had with Israel - and I haven't really written him off yet either!! ;-)

I had almost as fun as you just reading your messages. We are all like big teenagers!! And that is a good thing!!

Also, I don't thing this board has really suffered that much. I think that some of the old-time moms who have been coming here as the "graduates" - meaning they got married - just felt a little insecure in posting because of the title of this board and the point that someone questioned that. I think everything will lighten up in time and this is just a part of life that we all move on from various stages in time.

And I know that everyone is just busy now, too.

Izzy is certainly still a friend and I'll still see him a lot, but he has growing to do.


I have taken a break from my mexican friends for a couple of nights. I needed to stay home with the girls wed, and last night was my study group meeting. Tonight is happy hour for anthro students, I think I want to go and make an appearance. Later is prayer meeting at the iglesia. I'm debating whether I want to go or not. I will definitely do choir practice sat and church sun. I just feel like hanging back a little. I guess even an extrovert like me needs downtime once in awhile.

It sounds like you should take the down time for now.

The reason I said I didn't give up on Israel is because you never know. He can grow up and be there a little later on. You never know what tomorrow will bring!!

You must have a pretty voice if you can sing in the choir!! How are your girls doing?

The girls are good.


I have a beautiful voice really and lots of experience singing. And the ab crunches I do for karate have improved my projection a lot...didn't think about that side benefit.
