Jay told me I was snoring last night too...it's been happening more and more lately. I feel bad because I'm waking him up. I told him the same, just to roll me over whenever that happens...what's a girl to do? I wonder if those breath-rite strips work?

I have a tempurpedic mattress too! Man I just love that bed.

Rosanna - I feel pretty strongly about this but I also respect others opinions. I am not going to have my son circumsized, my husband is not circumsized and there is no medical/hygiene benefits to having it done - I can respect if it is for religious/cultural reasons etc but the penis was made the way it was made for a…
