Since divorcing, I’ve dated a few out-of-town men. These men were whirlwind romances that I KNEW would go nowhere – our geographical distance was too great.

Since becoming single again this past year, I’ve been called a ‘Cougar’ – which I hate, and a MILF. When I discovered MILF stood for “Mother I’d Like to F***”, I laughed.
