This thread of posts has made me realize that I should be more confident in how I look. Mr. Stic asked me once, "Did it ever occur to you that I didn't marry you for your looks?" At the time, I took it as a partial insult, but I have grown to realize that looks usually change throughout life, but your personality is who you are. I knew I stuck with him all these years for something. Thanks, everyone, for those encouraging words...I am even more intrigued by the lifestyle now!
