She was so happy to see me. It's funny becausenshe give allnthe same looks. And she's the exact same person, she just can't vocalize it. She always liked everyone to do things for it and it's even more apparent now.

The rehab center is very nice. It's a Jewish center and she is one of the few nonjews there. We put her there because it got fantastic ratings. It's a really nice place.

The rehab therapist has lots of hope which is funny because the neurologist has very little.

Every so often I get spam from Circle of Moms. I never read them, but it always has some helpful tip in the subject line, like how to deal with tantrums. Todays subject was "how to deal with your husband's online porn habit"

I get spam from them too, but I didn't see that one. I always chuckle as I have a friend who is always telling us how hard her DH works saying after dinner each night he locks himself in the study to "work", and she's so proud of him. She also complains that she doesn't know any of his passwords for anything. People have suggested to her that most people do not lock themselves in any room unless they have something to hide.

Oh my. My DH and I both work from home sometimes and I can tell you no one is locking doors.... This is odd.

Good morning all....Sun is out today but of course, it's supposed to be windy.

Good thing I got my laundry done yesterday - and got caught up on shows I like but forget to watch. I do like having that OnDemand feature - great for laundry time....I have more energy today and with the sun out am more likely to do other stuff....

I think the taboo is what causes men to lock the doors and gives them the thrill. I've never understood why women were so insecure about porn. I just think my attitude contributed to the my husband not becoming one of those men. The first time we got the internet years ago, he eventually found porn and called me over saying "Hey, look at this!" LOL

If I had been shocked or insecure about it, maybe he would have felt the need to hide and eventually gotten some sort of rush from hiding. (That's the only thing I can imagine happens with these men who lock themselves away.) Instead, he bored of it very quickly. Then again, he's never been into strip clubs either---viewes his friends who goes to strip clubs as suckers, so maybe my attitude had nothing to do with it after all. LOL

Ohio, I'm glad your grandmother is doing well. It's great you got to see her. I'm sure it meant a lot to her!

Speaking of passwords, do most people really feel the need to have spouses' passwords? What's the point? That always confuses me when I hear people complaining they don't have a spouses password. It wouldn't even occur to me to want one. My husband never asked for one of mine either. Just seems odd to me. The only password we both have is our joint family email account---and we treat that email account as sacred so it doesn't get spammed. (We each use many other email addresses for other internet needs that create spam, like shopping, forums, etc.) I don't even think my husband knows the password to our banking accounts. He doesn't need them. If something happened to me, he could easily set up his own password.

I think taboo is definitely why, that and denial. In my experience some woman believe their husband enjoying porn and self-pleasuring is a reflection on them and their appeal. I think many people are quite ill-informed regarding sexuality.

As far as passwords go, it's not really a big deal for me. We both just know each other's passwords, probably because we pretty much use the same passwords for everything, and have had the same passwords for years. We don't check each other's email or facebook or anything like that, that for me is a real intrusion. I wouldn't care if DH looked at mine, and vice versa. Whenever he is sitting next to me when I am online, he has no idea who half the people are anyway, and jokes about it.

Morning everyone!

Well, got all ready to go do the dreaded grocery shopping, getting mail and going to the bank - step out in the garage....

DH took my car today! I think smoke is coming out of my ears right now. He didn't even ask and all my mail keys are in there, grocery bags, etc. I can't believe he didn't ask!

So annoyed right now.

Whenever my husband is searching online for something, my children jokingly yell, "Mom, Dad's trying to use the internet again!" He mostly plays cards. The only people who email him are his siblings, and they send the emails to my account because he never checks his account. Don't get me wrong, he does know his way around the internet. He's just not interested unless he has a specific purpose. He simply appears incompetent because he's very slow at it---pecking away with his index fingers.

In the early years, he couldn't understand socializing on the internet. He use to tease that I was wasting my time communicating with "fake" people. Since I've made many real life friends via the internet, he's no longer perplexed by internet socializing. He loves all of my friends I've met online. But he's not really the type of person to seek out socializing; although, he's very engaging when he meets people.

Sorry, jk. I know how that goes.

Passwords, we sort of share. Though when DH went on FB he didn't tell me his. Just that he'd gone on FB. (I'm not.) One morning something got in me and I decided to break into his account. Took me one try to guess his PW and bingo! I was in.

Decided not to look at anything though. He deserves his privacy. It was more just to see if I could figure it out. He's friended (or whatever you call it) a lot of guys from high school and our old friends from college and he shares who is doing what. He shows me their photos. Bunch of old, fat, bald guys, lol. I'm proud to say DH takes much better care of himself. Some of those were great looking guys who totally let themselves go to pot.
