February Oprah Magazine!!

Does anyone have a copy of the OW/YM article? I heard it was outstanding and I want to print it out for Alicia!
She said she heard about that article and wants to read it!!

Try your friendly public library.

We actually had a discussion about this article on here a month ago. It's old news now! :p

Thanks guys!

Thanks guys!

guys :confused:

Faith I'm not getting the best vibes from you....sorry. Thanks "ladies".
Sheesh.
You okay?

Where I come from "guys" is used in a way that applies to both sexes. Like someone who is calling out to their friends "hey you guys!"

Drat - I was out of town a few times in February and kept missing the chance to pick this up. Does anyone know if it's online anywhere - and if so, can you point me to it?

I'm not an Oprah fan at all, but happy to read positive articles about agr's.

PS Kat - your dog is adorable, and I speak as a cat person who thinks dogs are basically acceptable creatures but not really my cup of tea.

PPS No doglove hate mail please.

I looked at last months O mag online and this particular article is not available. But it's probably at the library or lying around someone's house or office.

Bijou, thanks. My dog has turned out to be all that and then some. She's trained, loving, fun and ADORABLE. Yesterday was the first time my granddaughter got to spend some focused time with her, and she kept saying "Oh grandma, she's SO ADORABLE!!" This, from an 8 yr old.

And where I come from, "guys" is unisex too. I often call my staff at work spontaneously by saying, "Hey guys, let's talk." And they're ALL WOMEN!! :p

Not to hijack - but does anyone read "O" regularly? I"ve never read it... Just wondering if its a good mag... i guess i'll pick one up.

PS. i use "guys" all the time for both sexes

jelly..
"O" magazine, to be honest, is the ONLY magazine I've ever read cover to cover !! I love it. I even read the ads (because they are usually directed toward older women, feeling good about yourself,etc.)

I have a subscription...highly recommend it.

I love O...read it monthly, cover to cover on the plane when I travel to see my YM. Almost as good as therapy because it makes me feel so normal!

Thanks!! .....

i agree try the library or places like your hairdresser's...sounds weird but mine has issues of everything from way back and in fact that's where i read the article you're speaking of.
then you could scan it into your computer or something...
btw...i agree w/ you sheesh! "guys"...ummm...that's like a normal thing everyone says...

I went and made copies of the article today at lunch. I have this huge packet to give Alicia! All these inspiring words that hopefully erase her fears and doubts.
Just to update, yesterday we hung out all day, and had such a great time. It was the 2nd time we've spent significant time together since she broke it off for the millionth time 6 weeks ago.
We've been seeing each other at church and the gym, and friendly hello's have turned into flirting, and then yesterday we mutually decided to spend the day together.
It's weird, but it felt like we just met. We were catching up, and learning about each other. Even though we've broken up so many times, we still have this crazy chemistry and there is still so much to talk about.
We kept it light and fluffy, but at one point we got to talking about all her life she hates how she has these expectations that go with being a woman. And that she feels like all the men she's been with have not loved her, the person inside the body, but they've loved the outside, her beautiful shell. I said, "You need to find someone who loves you for you, and doesn't want or expect anything from you, but just loves you unconditionally."
We kind of just stared at each other for a few seconds after I said that, and I think she read my mindwaves that 'I am that man'...she said "You've been so good to me, no one has ever treated me as good as you."
I said, "Aww, sweetie, what can I say.."
I told her I have a million articles of successful AGR's working, and I've printed them up for her and everything. I told her about the Oprah article, and she said she would definitely read it, and the other articles as well.
Is this a breakthrough for her/us?
I don't know, but she's always been reluctant to accept the age gap before, and it seemed like yesterday she was at least willing to read about it.
I don't know what this all means, but I plan on giving her the articles, being her friend for now, and continuing to give space and love.
I am sorry if all this sounds redundant. I know I have posted on here a bunch, and some people are probably annoyed that I haven't moved on yet.
What can I say, she is the woman of my dreams.:)

Dave, I feel you and I do hope she has a "lightbulb" moment from reading those articles and then realizes that the age gap shouldn't be an issue.

And I also hope that overcoming this big obstacle will lead the way to breaking down any other obstacles in the way. But whatever happened with her ex? Weren't they back together recently?

What can I say, she is the woman of my dreams.:)

Just as long as she isn't the guy of your dreams... ;)

Best wishes. :)

xo Faith

No, she's definitely not the man of my dreams. :tongue2:

With Jim, her ex, we haven't really talked about it. No need as far as I'm concerned.
We weren't together then so it's her business what she did.
I know she's not interested in him and just wants him to be happy on his own, which seems impossible because she's told me time and time again, "He doesn't know how to disconnect from the friendship."
Codependency.
I do know that they were together on Valentine's Day and he came back into town to take his computer back. And that he's supposedly taking her to small claims court for $1000, the jerk.

She is definitely not "back together" with him or anything. She keeps saying how "it's just me and my kitties."
She did mention that she still struggles with co-dependency, with all her relationships. Her family, her struggling friends. She wants to like, cure and heal everyone and when it comes to herself, she doesn't always heed her own advice.
Anyways, maybe she's waking up and seeing that I am not going away, I want to be with her forever, and unlike all her friends, I am not a flake!

Thanks Faith. I don't know what will happen. All I can do is hope for the best.
How are you doing/feeling?

Where can I find this issue? Is is still available?

Yeah you can make copies at your local library.
