One reunion that changes everything. Kyle and Nile have spent a decade pretending they're fine—pretending they're successful, pretending their marriages weren't

I already promised to be the problem..

OOOOh I'm back. This took 15 years.  Soo quick recap, I got older and petty bettier, but I'm surthriving! Still can't believe it's been 15 years since my last post. I've been back every few years when I could remember my password, and I've missed friends, and acquaintances from here immensely. I'll try to limit my disappearances from now on. Life has been lifing and I not sure if thats exactly a good thing or bad thing. Quick recap is I've not entertained any romance options

Let's Take a Vacation

A lot of the US is experiencing record cold temps.  In my area, we came close to equaling a fifty-year-old record for longest cold snap.  I don't remember the last time we were above freezing, and temps in the 20sF felt like a heat wave this week.   Sadly, it's going to get worse before it gets better.  This weekend is on track to be the coldest temps yet, along with good ol' lake effect snow.  Is it spring yet?  Our local groundhog said it would be an early spring, but I don't believe him.

Weekly Wrap Up (Jan. 25 - Jan. 31)

Hmmm, so we are 1 down and 11 to go in months of this year. Where did January go!   Groundhog day is a coming, so just in case you haven't seen the movie like 100 times staring Bill Murray, especially over and over again on Groundhog Day, keep your eyes out on your local listings 🙄 A question for my friends to the south, how did you handle your small wisps of winter that we deal with from Nov. to May  I shouldn't laugh, as places like Georgia and Texas among other places are not really
