I sympathize as well. I haven't been in a relationship for about 10 years. It wasn't until the past two years or so that I really just stopped wanting to be in a relationship. Now, occasionally, I think I want to date, but it is quickly thwarted by a dud or a jerk. Just wondering when guys began to think it would be a turn-on to "tweet their meat"? They either want to jump into a relationship on the first date or into bed. Where do you find a good man these days?

I guess that's there is a little joy in being single and isolated from people a lot of the time while I'm still away from work (except my children). I haven't really missed meals as social time. I've never been a meal-time mom. The kids now eat at their convenience and only really ever ask me for suggestions or give me their grocery store requests or fast food orders. I think that started because they convinced themselves that I can't cook - maybe they're right. Some how, someway, I've gotta make this work for me- even if I'm perpetually single forever.

Blue Raspberry is repulsive. Shouldn't have bought by the case.

Not sure Carrie- I've got a horrendous cold too- let me know if you figure out how to feel better. As you can see, it's keeping me up at night.

@@ready2B - I'm making it through. Went searching on the internet for some puree ideas, but havent found much. The spaghetti sauce/ricotta cheese combo made me very happy today. Hoping that i'm getting enough Protein, but it's not always easy to count accurately.

Newbie on this site. Sleeved on 11/10/14 and trying to find the new normal. Tired of Protein shakes and searching for pureed recipes that won't nauseate me. Nice to meet you all... where ya from?
