hubby probs
Do any of you feel like your husband would rather do anything else besides touch you or make love to you?  I don't understand my husband.  He never ever wants to have sex.  He makes me feel so unwanted.  The only time we do is in the morning b/c that's when he likes it.  I like it at night b/c i'm not a morning person and he never stays awake for me at night or makes excuses about not feeling good, headache, back ache...etc..  Tonight, i stripped down piece by piece in front of him, laid down beside him naked, and he does nothing.  He'd rather sleep or eat or play video games....I don't get it.  And we've not even been married for a year yet and it's been this way since we got married.  I've told him many times how i feel and it never does any good.  It's like he doesn't care about my feelings.  He never wants to kiss anymore.  And then when we do have sex, I can never orgasm b/c he doesn't want to do any foreplay like kissing and caressing, and he wants to know why i can't orgasm.  I've tried telling him I need foreplay.  Whenever I try to tell him things like that he gets all defensive and acts like i'm blaming him or something.  My self-esteem is getting worse and worse.  I feel like I must not be attractive to him.  I feel like i'm fat and ugly.  I've thought about just starving myself so I'd lose the little bit of weight I've gained.  I've even been looking at proanorexia sites b/c I want to just stop eating.  I know that is totally dumb and hazardous to my health but I just hate to look at myself anymore.  I feel like if I got skinny that he will want me then.  I just don't understand why my own husband doesn't want to have sex.  We're still newlyweds.  I want to have him close to me every night and he doesn't feel the same.....that's how i see it anyways.
Do any of you have probs with your stepkids?

I absolutely cannot stand my stepchild.  I know it sounds evil but that is the most spoiled, selfish brat I have ever come across.  I did not know that marrying someone with a kid would be so difficult.  I married my husband after having known him for only 2 months so we moved fast, but his little boy seemed to be sweet in the beginning.  After we got married, things changed.  My husband makes me sick over him.  He lets him do as he pleases.  He is almost 6 years old and I hate to see how hateful and defiant he is going to be when he gets older.  My husband never disciplines him.  His son is disrespectful, backtalks, does not listen and my husband does not seem to care.  I have come to the point now where I cannot and do not say anything about the child because if I do my husband jumps down my throat.  It's like the only thing he cares about is that child.  I will never be as important to him.  I'm not asking to be number 1 because I know he loves his son, but I would like to be as important to him as his son because I am his wife.  There are so many times that his son has done something that does not make any sense and the most recent was yesterday. 


My husband was in the bedroom napping and his son was sitting on the couch playing video games.  A few weeks ago I got a puppy.  Now his son is here Thursday evening through Monday morning and anytime he wants to play with the dog or take her outside I let him.  All he has to do is ask.  Well she went to the door and wanted to go out.  So I put her on her leash and we went outside.  I tie her up outside so she can run and play around without me having to hold her leash.  I come back inside and see hubby's son lying on couch with his head in pilows.  I did not really pay that much attention to it because I thought he was playing or something.  I grab the phone b/c I am gonna call my mom.  My hubby gets up and goes in there and his son is crying for some reason.  I could not hear everything b/c I was on the phone.  I hear him asking why he is crying and he won't give a reason.  Next thing I know, my hubby gets mad (he has a terrible temper, when he does get mad he feels the urge to hit something which really scares me), kicks something and goes outside.  I tell my mom I need to go.  I'm going to try to find out what is going on and calm my hubby down.  He comes back inside and I ask him what is wrong and he says nothing.  And I tell him he is scaring me b/c he is hitting and kicking stuff and he just says he is sorry and won't tell me what's going on.  I go outside b/c I want to get away from both of them.  When I come back inside, hubby and stepson on couch cuddling (i think it's weird for father and son to be so affectionate, I mean my dad and bro have never been that way...they like to act tough.)  I walk by hubby and he tells me to come to him.  He apologizes for losing his temper.  I told him he scared me acting that way and he said that he does not like being told that someone does not want to be here.  So I guess stepson implied he did not want to be here.  He prolly just said he wanted to go to his grandma's.  See my husband is so weirdly jealous over him.  He does not want his son to say he cares about his real mom, or say he wants to stay at his grandma's....it's weird i think.  I ask my hubby why stepson was crying in the first place and he says well the dog scratched him.  Wait a min. how could the dog scratch him when she is outside???  And secondly, there were no scratch marks on his son.  So i tell my hubby that when I took the dog outside his son was playing video games and everything was fine, so the dog couldn't have scratched him.  But he does not say anything.  Doesn't he realize his son is lying?  I don't know but I went into the kitchen just to get away from them and I heard my hubby bribing his son with getting a toy and all kinds of stuff.  He does it every time.  I think that his son has him trained.  He knows that if he does the crying crap, my hubby gets mad, loses his temper b/c his son is crying for no apparent reason, and then he will feel bad and get his son a toy or something.  Early yesterday his son was asking for a toy and my hubby told him that after he goes to grandma's today and she gives him some money for one they will go get one.  But his son wanted one yesterday and I think that is why he did that crying stuff.  I swear one time before when he did the crying stuff (he will do it for no apparent reason and I think he does it just to make my hubby feel bad) afterwards he had this look of satisfaction on his face.  I don't know but I just think that my hubby and his son both need therapy and both need to be on medication.  I think they are both bipolar.  I can't suggest anything to my hubby though especially that his son needs help b/c he will get mad at me.  I am always the heel around here anyways when his son is here.  I would like your thoughts on this though.  I feel like I am going to go crazy.  When it is the days that his son is not here, things are great and fine. 


Anyone else having probs with Yahoo IM lately? It's going wacky

. . . one yummy tomato soup recipe for a EASY tasty beef stew recipe. Anyone?


CLASSIC TOMATO SOUP INGREDIENTS


*4 tablespoons butter


*2 tablespoons olive oil


*1 chopped medium onion


*coarse salt and ground pepper (or just use regular salt and pepper like I do)


*1/4 cup all purpose flour


*3 tablespoons tomato paste


*2 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)


*2 cans (14.5 ounces each) reduced-sodium chicken broth (I don't use reduced sodium)


*2 cans (28 ounces each) whole peeled tomatoes in juice (with basil if available) *If you have canned tomatoes from someone's summer garden, this is especially good.*


1. In 5-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat: add oil and onion, season with salt and pepper.  Cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.  Stir in flour and tomato paste, cook 1 minute.


2. To saucepan, add thyme, broth, and tomatoes, breaking up tomatoes with your fingers.  Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes.  (Remove thyme sprigs before blending).


3. Using an immersion blender (I use a hand mixer. What's an immersion blender?), puree soup in pot, leaving a fair amount of tomatoes in chunks.  Season with salt and pepper.  Serve immediately or let cool to room temp before dividing among airtight containers (leaving 1 inch of space at the top) and freezing.


This recipe came from the Everyday Food website at PBS.org. It is very yummy.

Trade with China
... and this is only the beginning. When one considers China is still a communist country, does not have human rights let alone dignity for how it treats its animals, all I can do is shake my head. In China there is no such thing as environmental law. People and companies dump toxic waste every day in rivers and streams, excretment, human and animal, is strewn where they grow their food, animals are treated in a fashion that would horrify us, and dangerous chemicals are not controlled in their country to the extent they are here - so how can we expect them to have a standard we have been used to? And who can we hold responsible? Our government, the agency who is to supposed to protect us citizens. Since corporations run our government today,the agencies, namely the FDA can only do so much. The FDA in itself is in dire need of overhauling. This is a dangerous gray area we are entering. Coporations have much protection and sanctions when it comes to their business practices, and how much legally they are required to tell the consumer. The time has come for the American public to demand more from the companies we purchase products from, and as I always say, ADVOCATE, ADVOCATE, ADVOCATE. It is our right and responsiblity as American citizens to address these issues and demand change.
Trade jobs with him for a day
You may find that your job really is rather cushy! 
I'll trade
I'll trade... we can work anywhere LOL... This is true... I am sure that after a week even I'd be thinking about a flight home to the palm trees. But, if you are interested in trading, I live near Disney (never go, can't afford it), have a pool, live in a pretty country house and for the most part the only time you will sweat bullets is when you step a foot outside the house. Better make sure to bring money because they only allow you a few ounces of deodorant on the plane. Not that you stink but we do if we don't stock up on our Soft-N-Dry! OK then, at least throw me a virtual snowball now and then and I'll send you mickey mouse and his ears to visit for a while :)
He's actually a locksmith by trade.

I'll trade you
For the six inches of snow and ice in our yard. But seriously, I hope things clear up for both of us soon. I can't wait for Spring!
Have Bose, he is a chef by trade and
the first year we were married got all kinds of different beers for him, he loved that. Could do that but seems redundant.
Years ago... (~20) I went to San Diego for a trade show -sm
my boss left me after 3 or so days for another trip and left me to pack up, etc. I had been scared at the beginning of the trip being only 22 or so at the time. But I had asked to stay a day after the close of the show so I could do sightseeing. I took the rental car and drove up the cost to the San Diego Wildlife park (alone) and had a blast. Best day I have ever had a zoo, granted this was not your ordinary zoo. It was nice driving down the Pacific Coastal Highway too and seeing the ocean on the west coast (I am from the east coast). I have not had the opportunity to do this ever since, planned to but never did a trip to England I wanted to take alone. But I never felt alone at the hotel or anything, eating alone was the only thing that bothered me in the resturant in the hotel; did drive through otherwise. Go and enjoy yourself. I plan to take off for a week so with the kids next summer and go camping, sightseeing, etc. and if my DH can come great, if not it will be just me and the girls!
I'd totally trade the wrinkles in favor of being thinner.

I'm an adipose tissue roller coaster...I start to pack on the pounds come fall and then start to drop it all come spring.  It is so hard to stay active during winter...even everyday chores in winter aren't enough to keep my body type trim, and then there's all that glorious comfort food that shows up around those shorter, colder days that are of absolutely no help either. 


Almost time to get that BBQ grill cleaned off and prepped for grillin healthy things like veggies and fish.  Now, if I could only hide the blender on myself so those pesky Margaritas stay away....


MMMmmmmm....summer!


You're crackin' me up....locksmith by trade!...Perhaps a cat burgular?.
