Before I get to TMI Tuesday, I want to post a short "plea" of sorts. It's been brought to my attention (bloggers really can be good friends) that a relatively anonymous commenter - someone who has posted a comment only once to only one of my posts - has been "harvesting" the email addresses from profiles of some of the people who comment on my site. This individual is sending, via email, bits of my personal financial information as well as making accusations regarding the treatment of my son - a commentary of half truths and opinions. There is no doubt where this person came from as there is only one place I've shared this information - the single moms email list I turned to for support 10 years ago and unsubbed from about 6 months ago.
I know that any time I put myself out here for all the world to see, there is a chance that I'll run into people like this, but I'm not willing to be "bullied" into shutting down this blog or making it private.
If you receive an email from Fivestrike@[insert service provider here].com, please delete it. Let's not allow this "drama generator" the satisfaction of creating any additional drama.

1. What is your definition of romantic?
Hmmm ... romantic ...
Selfless acts of giving. Romantic can involve material things, but is more often time or attention related. In my world, romantic doesn't have to cost a penny. Washing the dishes without being asked, handing over the remote control, or calling me at work to let me know that you'll pick up dinner tonight so that I don't have to cook - those are all romantic.
2. Would you consider yourself to be romantic?
I pretend that I'm not a romantic. Why? Because it's easier to not be disappointed if youhide have no expectations.
3. Is your significant other romantic?
This answer may surprise all of you, but he does have his moments. Of course, they are few and far between (think annually), but in a way, that makes them even more of a surprise.
4. Have you ever chastised a SO for not being romantic enough or too romantic?
No. Being me, I make excuses for the SO instead (see answer above).
5. What do you consider a grand romantic gesture? Have you ever been the recipient or giver of one?
You know, this is a difficult question. I can certainly think of things I'd consider as grand romantic gestures, but they'd need to be done by someone Iloved cared about. The gesture isn't enough on it's own - it needs to come from the right person.
6. If you have done something romantic to get laid, did it work? If not, why and how did that affect your romantic tendencies in the past.
I'm a woman, we aren't required to produce romantic gestures in exchange for sex - nor should men.
7. What is the most romantic thing you have ever done? Had done for you?
The most romantic thing I've ever done? I've got to use my own definition of romantic here, which means these are going to be silly things. Like the time I gave a massage, from head to toe, without being asked, or the time I snuck the kids out of the house for a family portrait because husband had mentioned, in passing, that he really wanted a pic of the kids together, or ... or ... or ...
You know, in a good relationship, I try to perform romantic gestures frequently. I want whomever I am with to know that they are special to me - that I think of them frequently - even when they might be away from me.
I've been the recipient of a handful of romantic gestures. Probably the most special was during my short relationship/marriage to A. He used to bring me a "Thursday" gift every week. Thursday gifts were often just silly little things presented in a grand way. It might be hand picked wild flowers, or a trip to the tattoo shop, but it was every Thursday - without fail - and no matter what our financial position - that was romantic.
