To start with, I know I'm not everyone's cup of tea. Some people are into coffee. That's fine. I'm a late 30's divorced woman who can't have kids, has way too many animals, hates cleaning house, and is swimming in debt. Oh, and did I mention I'm a bbw? I get how not every guy is into me. I'm cool with that. Cooool. But apparently because I'm not perfect, my standards are too high. At least, according to some people. So let me just tell y'all about some of the 'gems' I turned down last year... Apparently My Dating Standards Are Too High... The Mama's Boy - This guy was nice. He'd had the Keep Reading >>>

Going To The Dentist Is Like Being Abducted By Aliens
For those of you who are terrified of the dentist, you are not alone. It doesn't help that my first visit to the dentist was far too late in life..... *cringes* 24. By then the damage was done. A broken tooth, four wisdom teeth that need extracting and 9 cavities that needed filled. We won't go into WHY I didn't go to the dentist before this age, but it was the way it was.
