Brenda's picks: A week of great comments

Hi everyone,

I'm back from a short vacation and eager to catch up on all the new posts and faces on Shine. Although Shine is a website for women, everyone is welcome here. As user Emma Mae suggests, "I am sure that all the WOMEN here would agree there is room for more men".  ;)

Each week, I'll point out some of the most interesting posts and conversations taking place on Shine. This week it's all about great comments from our community. Here's what I'm into right now:

1. With everyone finding old friends and exes on Facebook, Shine user Kay asked a good question in her post "Why would you try to get in contact with an ex?". Comments ranged from "because you just miss them" to "it means trust is about to be tested", or how about "for those lonely nights when you have no one else and he or she is available"? What motivates you to get in contact with you ex? Leave your comment on Kay's post.

[Update: Talk about coincidence!I just found this related post from Shine user kmillsr, "He won't stop talking to his ex...and trying to hide it" with equally great comments.]

2. We can always count on Dr. Kate to address our sexual concerns in her usual straight-forward manner, and as always there's lots of input from our users. Find out how readers are treating their private areas in Dr. Kate's post, "Bumps Down Below".  Shine user Lizbeth commented "I can't wait to see what you ladies have for tips"!

3. Lastly, Shine user Katherine is retiring and looking for ideas on what to do next - No babysitting suggestions, please! Stop by Katherine's post "Retiring and feeling old" to congratulate her and offer advice on what she might pursue next.

Have a great week!

    Please, Brenda, can you address the problems going on with Shine? Especially Chatter being stuck since Palm Sunday. I fear we are losing people due to frustration. It's very tedious to go to everyone's blog to announce a new post. And newbies are cluless as to how to communicate. If we could get updates from you and/or others from Shine, it would be easier to be patient. Thanks, Snow

    Hello Brenda, After reading your comments to Casy, I feel I need to elaborate: Chatter DOES NOT MOVE and hasn't, except for a couple brief blips, since Palm Sunday. This is not something happening to just a few of us. I use 3 different computers so I know it's not my PC. There is a running joke amongst us that Lady Jane's cow is stuck on the roof of Chatter. We aren't laughing at the joke anymore. Thanks, Snow

    Hi everyone,

    Chatter seemed ok to us here at Yahoo! so I appreciate everyone letting me know that its been "stuck" for them. I'll notify Engineering to investigate. Thanks!

    Thank you, Brenda. I wondered why it seemed that you were pooh-poohing our complaints. I should have made more noise sooner. Snow
