    (Misspelling intentional!) Marianne posted about sex yesterday, and Red No. 3 followed up with a post today.  So, it’s kind of a blogaround!   :) I did a general post on sex a few years ago.  A few things I’d add now: At age 44 I have had more partners than the “average American woman”. At age 28 I’d had zero.  At 30 it was one or…

    Two years ago, I wrote 2 of the most-read posts of this blog: on stress incontinence and jock itch.   I worked hard on both of those posts. I was a bit embarrassed to admit they were problems I deal with, but I also felt that writing a bad post on either would be worse than not writing them at all.  Take of that what you will….…

    Just over a year ago we were remembering the deaths of people who were “too fat” to evacuate after Katrina. Later that week I wrote a post on buying plane tickets that still gets a number of hits. Two years ago I wrote one of this blog’s most-googled/viewed posts.  (Why “fat woman sex” is one of the perennials of the search terms is not for me to answer.)  I…

    1 comment on May at Living ~400lbs

    Happy (almost) June! Here in Seattle it’s not so much “summer” as “late spring”.   Yes, some of the rosebushes are starting to bloom, but we haven’t had a day yet over 75F.   Lots of gray skies, and hey, I don’t have to worry about watering the plants since the sky is doing that just fine… Most-read posts from May: Jeans and big bellies Why Don’t…
