Listen to blogs 
I’ve been out of the loop for a few days and haven’t had a chance to see what’s going on here until this morning. After being away for over two weeks I really needed to get down on my hands and knees and scrub the kitchen from top to bottom and throw in some laundry before even peeking at my email or Tara Cronica.
Tracy, Tracy, Tracy… LOL! What am I going to do with you! I read your post from yesterday and must say I appreciated your use of the word flatulence as opposed to the alternative! Awwww…were you thinking of me, there? ; ) I think you made some good points mixed in with your very personal observations and opinions, and I think it’s also important to note that someone’s feelings about these issues can change and modify depending on where they are on the dating scale. When you’re newly single your feelings might be more, let’s say…cavalier about the whole dating thang. Once you’re several years into being a free woman and have had a few really great longish term dating experiences with some pretty decent guys, I’m sure you’ll come up with an equally impressive different set of rules that reflect your new outlook. Just as long as you keep the humour, OK! Somehow I don’t doubt that you’ll always find the funny in life. It’s one of your best qualities along with your smiling eyes.
I have a question for everyone; What are the inherent problems that come with dating your best friend’s brother or sister? Is it a taboo topic? My son is in a relationship with his sister’s best friend. I’m not going to spill any gossip about them but we have discussed as a family the certain difficulties that arise in this situation and how they can be avoided. Discretion is key, I’d say! Best friends feel they should share everything but that’s not always a good thing.
Have you ever been in this position? Did it work out? I have a very good friend who’s been married to her high school BFF’s older brother for about 25 years so it can work, but what are the compromises you make along the way? Are there any?
And in case you’re wondering, Tracy, my bro is very cute but he lives in Australia so I’m not trying to set you up! He does ride a motorcycle, though…. Hmmmm….

A big sigh of relief, your home safe and sound! With lots of great stories I can’t wait to hear. Reading your post this morning was like hearing your voice in person because the distance is no longer there. I agree with you about how your feelings towards dating change depending on where you are on the dating scale. That’s a great point. And yes, I was thinking of you but ‘Bonnie’ the one who pokes me to go further couldn’t resist making me say the alternate!! Childish yes I know lol. She’s so fun isn’t she ! I will be in girlfriend heaven to have you both in the same space!! Oh I am getting all excited just thinking about it and I am getting off topic! About having your best friend date your brother, well yes it can work Bonnie dated my brother many moons ago and it was fine, we always made as much time for one another so it was never a problem, until she dumped him! Then all hell broke loose !! haha
WELCOME HOME !!!
I’m also glad to see you’re back home, safe and sound. That’s a long stretch of highway and a lot of time to daydream.
Dating your sister’s bff? This type of relationship involves a commitment from all three parties. I think it would be hardest on the person who’s dating the sibling of their best friend. She will have to work at both relationships. If either one falters, it will put a strain on the other. There’s also the relationship of the siblings to consider but in most cases “blood is thicker than water” as they say.
If all three parties are in it for real then this type of relationship can flourish. They will just have to work harder juggling all 3 relationships. It’s funny where love takes a person and knowing your kids, you don’t have to worry. They will be fine.
