HERE IS AN ORGANIZATION IN THE UNITED KINGDOM that has a great newsletter-like site that reports on subjects that interest YOU like old women who are life-long virgins!
"Virginity demonstrates the basic preciousness of one's integrity - a spiritual specialness which one wishes to only give to one of the opposite sex with whom they are prepared to share everything for life" - Keith Sanders, UK

CONNECTING TO AWAKENING FROM THE DREAM BLOG on CELIBACY LIFESTYLE
"As I recently wrote about on the Spiritual Seduction website, at the end of the day, sex just SEX feels like a big nothing to me.
I actually remember thinking that the very first time I had sex. "Really?" I said to myself. "All this hoopla, this huge big deal and all these taboos, and ... that's it? THAT is what the big deal was all about??"
In a way, this is very liberating. So much ridiculousness can be dispensed with when sex is no longer a priority." Erica

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS!
Here are some new years resolutions that might not be common or ordinary!
1) I will not get pregnant or impregnate!
2) I will make sure that my contraception is the best for me and my situation at this time in my life. (Make sure you keep your appointments and have blood work done if you're on the pill. If you have gained or lost more than a few pounds be sure your diaphragm is still fitting. Read about condoms; are you using the brand with the least breakage?)
3) I will get tested for STD's - herpes, HIV/AIDS, etc at least once this year if I am sexually active - between lovers - and every three months if I'm promiscuous,
4) I will carry condoms with me (and not leave them in the hot glove compartment of the car) - male or female - just in case.
5) I will consider being sterilized if I cannot use contraception, am against abortion, and know I do not want children.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO THE NMNK - MAY YOU ACCEPT OR DECLINE INVITATIONS
Dear NMNK...
Christmas is probably more than any other American Holiday focused on Children. As a NMNK you may be an honorary aunt or uncle... You may love the children your relatives and friends have. You may even be unintentionally childless and feel your life is empty without children. Maybe you've even been "trying" to become a single mother or father.
Whatever the case, you may also be unfairly battling the stereotype that you are a selfish person because you chose not to have children, too picky to marry, or even that you hate - despise - children.
For those of you who have NMNK friends, be sensitive! Do not leave your NMNK uninvited because you think we have "nothing in common" with your friends who have children.
Invite us and leave us to decide if we accept or reject an invitation to be at a social event where children may be swirling around the dance floor. (Even those of us who "hate brats" are usually too well mannered to actually say so to the parents or the brats!)
One of the things I have experienced is being considered all those things - selfish - picky - hateful by parents who have had children for the wrong reasons and are resentful of those who are not encumbered with responsibility. I also feel it is entirely wrong to expect NMNK not to have OPINIONS about how children should be raised or behaved; too often I have been told "What do you know, you have never given birth!"
As always, be understanding and kind and giving to yourself. There is nothing shallow or superficial in treating yourself with respect due.
See you in the New Year!

SHE'S JEWISH AND CANADIAN BUT SHE STILL CELEBRATES THANKSGIVING, CHRISTMAS, THE HOLIDAYS
I searched through the articles on the net about what to do for the holidays and selected the SHERRI LANGBURT article in the Huffington Post on line, because it was one of the few that DID NOT SUGGEST THAT YOU WOULD BE DEPRESSED or come with ads for PSYCHIATRISTS or ANTI DEPRESSION MEDICATION. Sherri has a long list of TO DO things in case you can't come up with some wonderful ways to entertain yourself with your best friend -you!

COOKING FOR ONE COMEDY
OK THIS ONE IS FULL OF THE STEREOTYPES OF US; eating over the sink, waiting for phone calls from old lovers, but hey, a sense of humor is something you hone.

GROCERY STORE COUPONS DISCRIMINATE AGAINST NMNK's!
GROCERY STORE COUPONS discriminate against those who buy for one and eat alone!
Clipping through this weeks Sunday paper supplements, I saw dozens of grocery store and manufacture coupons. Oh the deals! As long as you were willing and able to buy two and three of every item. Now I know you're going to say "I can stock up. I can refrigerate!" ... Especially if you actually eat twice and three times more than the average single and have a household budget twice and three times more that the average single too, you can!
Grocery and food advertising most often shows FAMILY SIZED PORTIONS... entire tables set for a dinner party, a whole cake (keep eating those and you know what happens!) Maybe you see a single woman sitting back - home alone - enjoying a cup of tea or coffee ALONE at the end of the day once in a while in an ad or two.
Yes, buying for ONE is about PORTIONING and since the great numbers of Never Married No Kids are on the increase (that means our weight as well as our numbers), I would like to see individual portions, well priced, and coupons for one at a time purchases!
