Out of sight, Out of mind

My niece said something profound, even though it was unintentional. She said she wanted to watch a video again, to get it out of her head. She wanted to watch something over to stop thinking about it, instead of watching something different. It will stay in her head more.How many times in life, we thought we could solve a problem by doing the same actions, we took, to have the problem in the first place?When I had my miscarriage in 2009, My sex drive went from super high to hardly any. Probably stemmed from a combination of factors. I thought I...

Incompatibility

It is hook-up season, I thinks. People want a relationship. Want a boyfriend, girlfriend, or old-fashioned booty buddy. People don't want to be alone. but, I have noticed a trend. Some people want to date anyone, despite compatibility issues. It's just not the little things, but the big things. Little things like, they like mayo and you like mustard. Things, that flash a pointed sign above your head "DO NOT DATE HER (or him)."They want biological kids. You are fixed. You have enough kids. The thought of having another frightens the hell out of...
