23. Ok, I'm turning you in... LOL Im playin Im playing!!! (just wanted to hear you laugh!)

I see mostly positive in this list. I know that I am not local and we know each other through typed words mostly... however, what I do see (and it is a lot due to your willingness to share yourself) is that you are a beautiful strong woman. Most of women our age feel exactly like this. (especially the celibate part!) Being celibate is a choice and it shows that not just anyone can dance with the kitty... lol.

Stay strong my beautiful friend... 40 is just your beginning!

Whoa. Things that came to mind... Can I list 40 things? What the heck am I going to do for my 40th? Why people be trippin on turning 40? W\hy do I keep hearing about men "Kirkin' Out" at 40 and women "feelin' themselves? Was Cuss--oops! I mean, Fiddy hoding back 19 other questions? I mean, you ain't ask me nothing, so I had to ask myself, right? Introspection and all that? Let's talk more about the number 40 later. I am feeling this...

Rissa - turning 40, I thought it was going to be something HUGE.like I'd have a party and be enjoying myself with folks I knew and didnt know and I would be so FLY that it would be the most liberating day of my life. As it turns out there will be no party. #12(I just don't have those kinds of friends close by in my life) IT's cool though. I have' met some newpeople over the past year and they are (5 days older and 5 years older than myself) and we are going to hang out a few days after my birthday and do girl stuff and hopefully laugh ALOT>

Please don't turn me in!!!

Remedy....MY GURL...you and I have almost always had a different perspective on things in life. 40 IS major to me. 30's have been hard and depressing. It's been the longest 10 years of my life. Hell have you really thought about all that I've endured in 10 years? I have...

Anyway # 12 doesn't apply to you...I said CLOSE. 13000 miles away AINT close silly...
