Happy Birthday! I always thought you were older than this. You seem so wise for your years. You are a special lady and I am glad that I know you.

sorry to hear about this. I am sure it is very difficult for you on so many levels.

I believe in the Institute of Marriage. However, I do like the trend of people waiting a bit longer to tie the knot.

I believe that given all the things that can and do go wrong in Society, that it is important for both men and women to be able to take care of themselves BEFORE they get married. My reasoning for this is that despite our hopes, wishes and desires, anything could happen to change the traditional gender roles in a family. Wives need to be prepared and have the confidence to run a household and be the sole bread winner in a family, in case their husbands cannot due to death, injury or job loss.

The only way I believe that this can happen is if the wife has had time achieve some sort of higher education, or have some good job experience under their belt.

I can see how it could have negative connotations. In fact, while I was writing it I carefully chose my words so that I could avoid, as much as possible, anything that be construed as negative.

I know it seems like wasted effort as far as the race goes. That part does suck. However, I do have to wonder if all the good shape you keep yourself in, prevented this latest flare from being worse than it could have been. Imagine if you were out of shape like me and got hit by this yucky and difficult to recuperate from flare, you very well could be in worse shape than you are now.

13 years ago @ breathinstephen.com - Asthma guilt trip · 1 reply · +1 points

I have adult onset asthma and part of the reason I used to wait is that I had a difficult time deciding if I was really having an asthma attack. Then I would think I would take time away from the people who were sicker than me. I live in a very small town, with a very small ER and hospital. I have to go to the ER for other things and they have gotten to know me in there. It is kind of embarrassing when you local ER knows you by name.
