Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for May 06, 2013

Aww

Both life styles have their good points and otherwise. Been both.

I live (alone) in a small college town. we don’t have a Whole Foods here. I am sooooo bored with both cooking for one and TV dinners. What I need is a man who cooks! (and does the dishes afterwards) (and then goes home, haha).

The grass is always greener…

Sometimes does not work with homelife and work life with co-workers blend.

My mom’s been a widow since 1999 and she does fine w/o a man in her life. She is 88 now.

Sometimes I think about changes I’d make in eating and how to arrange the apartment and stuff if I lived alone but I would be so lonely, even with the internet and my friends.

I love to cook…but cooking for 1 is no fun so i cook for 4 and have lots of leftovers to freeze for another day. Being alone really doesn’t mean your lonely!!!!

Having been married, widowed, and re-married, I can say that being single is over-rated. Yes, it is great to be able to do whatever you want to do whenever you want, but it is better to have the company of my wife and daughter. A man needs someone to be responsible for, to care for, and just be with. Without a wife and children, a man tends just to be an overgrown boy. It is meeting the responsibilities of being a good husband and father does one truly becomes a man.

Sorry mam.

Do my own cooking. Cooked for my mom (RIP) in her final years. Also my own laundry, cleaning, et cetera et cetera. Sometimes feel that I’d like to have someone…………… but I do like peace and quiet.

Sad, but true…The life some people think is really nice others know better and have to live it
