LOL! Passion
It does help!!!  We should have a lock your significant other in the shed day!!!  One day when you can get away with it and not have to explain yourself later...I think it would be good for all relationships!

If this helps, Bel, I believe every woman here
Will tell you that they either wanted to or actually DID lock their significant other in a shed/bathroom/closet/etc....Men can be frustrating.

I am finding that learning from those who do well in your business really helps.  There is one lady that is making about 15K a month with my company and she is not the only....it shocks me!  But some of the ideas that make me say...this will never work are the ones that work the best.  Learn from those who have figured it out!

Thanks so much!

So glad to hear things are getting back to some semblance of normal.

What is normal anyway?

But I digress...it's good to have you back on Blogit.  Hope all goes well with the passion consulting! LOL
If you have any more business tips, feel free to leave some in my business blog.   I need all the help I can get.  I occasionally sell adult items on eBay...maybe I should do more of that?

See ya round Blogit!

You are very right.  I have seen many marriages from our unit fail in the past months.  We have had some tense moments but it never occured to either of us to walk away.  OK so I did think about locking him in the shed a time or two, I decided against it as he is a really nice warming element at night LOL!

So is LOVE Bel...
Love is stronger than death....don't ever minimize its power.

We are getting there.  Getting life semi-normal again I think will help a great deal.  I still put my very cold feet on him in the middle of the night and he cusses as I laugh at him...so it's certainly not all bad LOL! just different in some ways.

LOLOLOL!!!  I promise not to tramatize you!  My little brother is really suffering for this as he mentioned to one friend what I do and now he has a bunch of his lady friends calling me to see what I have.

We did expect a good deal of it.  I think what surprised him the most is that I had once again built that protective wall without even being aware I had.  He has had his own issues to deal with and then add me to the mix of refusing to allow my  feelings to get hurt and it's been a challenge but somehow we still have managed to find our way back for the most part.  Determination is an amazing thing LOL!

Welcome back!
Glad things are on somewhat of an even keel -- I know little things like War and separation do take a toll, but you seem to be doing all the right things.

Take care!

It's so good to see you again....

But I'm really sorry to hear about you and Carl. War does change a person . Even though you both knew this going in, it does little to help.

You just have to work thru the changes. I know you guys will make it...God Bless! And good to hear from you again.

Bel, I know exactly what you mean about a man without a job.    I have known several that suddenly and without warning lost their jobs when they were in their 40's--a crushing blow to be sure.

We are getting there.  I think Carl going back to work will help tremendously with his state of mind.  He has had a very hard time feeling useless because of it.  Useless would have been had he not tried.  He did the best he could, the ecomony wasn't his fault..but tell that to a very proud man!

I buy my own products at a nice discount LOL!  Then of course I am more than happy to recommend my favorites !!!!!

Bel, its so good to see that you are back.   I have missed you and wondered about you.   It sounds like, with a lot of patience and a lot of work, things are beginning to come together for you and your family.   God bless you.

Do you test your products for "quality assurance?" I'm not sure I'd want to see those "inspected by" stickers on that sort of thing...

LOL! I was so busy looking for familiar names
I hadn't checked my own comments!  Thanks Everyone!  Factor....what I sell is probably exactly what you think it is.  We cover everything from bath products to the very, very intimate products.   It's the first job that I have had that Carl can't find something to complain about...but he does like the frige benefits

Hey, welcome back!

I had been wondering whether you would come back at some point.

"Passion Consultant," hmmm? lol I'd be curious to see what you are selling, but mostly because I am nosy...  Hey, I am willing to admit it...

Glad to hear Pam is doing so well and things are starting to return to normal...
