Bf,

Quick lesson on womanese - I KNEW what you meant by home improvement and didn't respond. I definately tried that in my first M and am a whole lot more comfortable with letting H continue to be H this go around.

I was responding to HP's comments about being a striver because I think that women often get a bum rap about the tendancy to want more, better, bigger all the time and once again, some of us yes and some of us no.

Feel better HP. My 14yo is on day 4 of the flu - no longer puking but the fever and exhaustion continue.

Karen

PS Bf - ok so besides your own version of internal remodeling what are you doing to have fun and enjoy your life now?
