I guess I just took it to mean that the convertible is not very practical for where they are. I didn't look at the ebay listing...but it might be a smaller car too... Mr LaL... has a daughter...and I'm sure it isn't very family friendly.

She mentioned that the convertible was in storage for 7 months.. It didn't say they didn't have 2 cars.. I mean I don't know very many families who have less than 2 cars.. She just mentioned the type of car they bought.. because it IS more practical for that area..

I thought she mentioned that she was going to buy a lexus when she went back to L.A. or maybe lease it..

I also just took the blog entry as saying her situation was carefree when she bought the convertible in the first place. Something she didn't normally resort to. I think she sees herself changing as happens to the best of us!

She sounds like she needs to be attached to hips with this man! Why is she changing her life for this man that once again is not married to?? I mean a long distance relationship can work if the feelings are strong and there for each other.. the poor man probably was trying to get away from her trying to catch some fresh air in the mountains.

I don't know.....

but you see what I mean.. or is it me?:S

I know what you mean Nadia. I read Rhonda's comments the same way. She strikes me as a very dependent woman who will make any adjustment to accommodate this man. I think her work - striving to show others how to live "fearlessly" - is her way of still trying to do that herself. And there's nothing wrong with that because the process of growing is ongoing for all of us. But as a role model, well, she doesn't seem to model some of the things she preaches. Others mentioned in another thread, "Rhonda - New Blog 12/10" in Coaches and Consultants, that the dating exercises Rhonda gave may have reflected her own issues with men. I think what troubles me about her is not that she isn't perfect or still has insecurities, which is true for everyone, but that she doesn't seem to notice any inconsistency between what she teaches and what she does. That affects her credibility, for me anyway.

You said it better doxygirl than I could have explained.

I read her blog in August 22nd Mr. Love-A -Lot need time alone.? Hmmm I wonder why??

ok..

Then in a September 24th blog she's with him again participating in a shared parents support program with Mr Love a Lot's ex?

I think he calls the shots on this relationship...and she just doesn't know it. She's just to busy googoo gagaing over him.

I couldn't agree more! SO had so much to offer and Bad Girls Club is simply awful. I couldn't take the exploitation of a young woman's severe drinking problem for the sake of profit. The producers need to send Iylana and Rhonda into that house for a month - now that would really be something.

Healthy New Year!

I'm confused....does Rhonda love the man or really love the convertible? She says both. It does seem to me that she is really smitten with this man.

I wonder how she met a man from Colorado in California when filming the show. How long has she been living there? Wasn't she living there the last season of SO? So, did she already know this man then?

I have many questions about that arrangement. Something about it just sounds odd. I guess I have been in so many situations that sound sorta like hers, that I am too skeptical. I hope it does work out for Rhonda. It's just that whenever you see one person in the relationship doing most of the rowing, and the other just sits there, you question how long the relationship will last if the rowing partner puts down the oars. From what she says, I get the feeling that she is the one rowing and not Mr. Love-a-Lot. Perhaps we are not getting the full picture.

At any rate, having financial ties with a love interest and no marriage, can get you burned bad, unless you have a contract to protect yourself.

I did enjoy Rhonda's latest blog. I was feeling much the same way before I read her blog. Maybe that radio show she did helped me more than I know! LOL
