Zephyr, My sincere apologies for not looking longer to find the context. I did scan but the thread is a tad long, which is no excuse, but its the best I have. Sorry I misunderstood.

Puzzles, If you have to make excuses for his behavior, you have pretty much said all you need to, haven't you? Sunny is right. Would you let a friend or a relative walk this path without warning? karl

I'm a women who feels no need to hide behind long hair I am curious about your phrasing. Why do you see women with long hair as hiding behind it? Maybe some just think it flatters them? It's interesting that you condemn the style magazines, yet your post speaks to a lot of superficial areas that are covered in them. In the end its every persons choice how they want to present themselves, and I say more power to that diversity. FWIW I love long hair on a woman, but the woman I just met and I am going out with has very short hair. Her hair is just a small part of who she is. At the end of the day it's just hair. Karl

Excuse me sir, are you American? (That's the gist of their work) That's more than we have. Police in Seattle are not allowed to ask that....

Everything-but-marriage law. Posted: 11/12/2009 6:29:21 PM
Do we ever hear compassion from the religious right for people who have been tortured and killed because of their sexuality? yes, we do. or at least I can personally say I have never once heard anyone either I know that is religous or on the right condone abuse of people for their sexuality, and with the lone exception of the most rabid fanatics like Westboro Baptist, whom no one else on the right can stomach either, I have yet to hear it in a pulpit or from a conservative leader. Say what you want about whether those people are wrong or right to condemn homosexuality or any of the other things they condemn, but let's not be so casual in broad painting them as howling fanatics. I am right-centrist and I am also a christian/catholic hybrid, so apparently I should fall into that catagory but I do not. FWIW I supported the everything but marriage measure. As far as Gay marriage, my personal view is indifferent to it as to me the real issue is that the Government controls marriage and decides who gets benefits according to its own standards. I don't think straights or gays should be bound to the governments decision of who deserves what. I say end the governmental strangle control of marriage at all levels. If all they did was register unions as a contractual matter, not as a method of determining social and tax status, then it wouldnt matter. But that's just me.

Most favorite compliment....ever. Posted: 9/9/2009 12:42:10 AM
I have heard the nice eyes thing a few times, but one of the nicest things I have ever heard was from an old high school friend who was complimenting my writing on a blog I had posted to face book and thanked me for making him think. I take more from it when people enjoy what you do and who you are then what you look like. That's just how I roll.

Dealbreaker? How to handle in casual dating?? Posted: 8/21/2009 12:21:45 AM
he had smoked pot once Pot doesnt stay in your system more than a month or so. So the real story had to be that he had smoked pot fairly recently. So how recently and how often? He of course denies and minimizes the significance of the drug issue. And then claims that I am punishing him for his honesty. [/quotes] Was he really honest? Did he ever fess up to his drug use? Your account makes it sound like he made layers of excuses. That IMHO is not honesty. The real question that you need to answer is whether you are comfortable being with someone who takes drugs or not. And only you can answer that, but it also sounds like you already did.

Survivor's guilt Posted: 7/9/2009 10:28:00 PM
This is in no ways meant to be authoritative. Everyone's story is different. During my first divorce, my soon to be ex called me up to come talk with her. The guy she had been with just prior to us dating and marrying had been killed. They had not dated ever again, and in fact she had not really spoken to him since they broke up. He had also been physically abusive to her before they broke up (a huge part of why). It took me a while to understand why she was so upset though I never fully understood it, but in her it boiled down to losing a "what if". She had often wondered what could have happened. It was a bit of distress over losing a chapter of her life. We never spoke of it again, and I don't know if she ever thinks about it any more. Maybe it was the shock of knowing that someone she had once loved so deeply was gone, perhaps coupled by the pain of our divorce just hit her badly. I think she also felt like she had unresolved issues with him that now would never be resolved. just a few thoughts

Strange liberal demographic of my film group... WHY? Posted: 7/5/2009 8:34:42 PM
One of my favorite all time films was a foreign film. It is dubbed into English but I like the German version better, subtitles and all. I think the vitriol in here is fairly normal for Seattle. As a mostly conservative Blogger, I am constantly presented these kind of stereotypes and attacks. I don't even bother being offended any more. However I have more then enough evidence of similar attacks on liberals from conservatives where they are in the majority. In answer to the OP's question, I think it is a question you will never answer, any more than you can answer why so many more women are joining than men. But frankly, I would expect there top be some disparity as Seattle is a fairly liberal environment and a lot of those other demographics also follow similar trends in liberals. Foreign films are just an acquired taste, that is really the bottom line. They don't get the advertising and exposure that mainstream films do. Maybe that's the answer: Concservatives watch more tv. All you can really do is continue to cast about for people and hope the people find you. They are there, I know many conservatives who love indy films. PM me more info on the group, I may want to give it a whirl. Karl

Gentlemen, is serenading a woman part of chivalry? Posted: 6/29/2009 8:51:19 PM
I would say it depends on if you suck or not. I love that line. But seriously, if you can do it and you have the pipes to pull it off, and she likes it....dude, go for it. If it aint broke, don't fix it.

Long vs short hair Posted: 6/29/2009 7:07:50 PM
I'm a victim of a lifetime of social conditioning and thusly I can't ever see myself with a woman who has short hair. Even so far as to say if she had long hair when we met, and she hacked it off later on...she'd be dumped. Yep, I've done that before too. True it's just hair, but to me and the conditioning I exposed myself too all my life, it's just not right for her to have short hair. I can't imagine dumping a woman cuz of her hair. Seems petty to me. Same with getting some ink. If you really care, then who cares? But what struck me was you claiming it is just a result of your conditioning. Seriously? And not involuntary, but voluntary since you also said you exposed yourself to it. Sorry that's a cop out. It seems to me that if you were disturbed by being conditioned you would act to break it woudn't you? And if you aren't then it's just a preference. And there is nothing wrong with that. You are entitled to liking whatever you like. But conditioning? Seriously?

Baggage vs Life Experiences ??? Posted: 6/29/2009 6:40:17 PM
Baggage to me is a life experience you are still carrying and that is still affecting you negatively. Baggage slows you down and holds you back. If doesn't even have to be terribly "painful" it is just interefering. Life experience is baggage you carried, unpacked, learned from and put away. It is no longer a weight on you, and in fact has often made you a smarter wiser person. Life experience can also be painful, that's how we learn the best lessons. Maybe thats overly simplified, but that's how I see it.

Long vs short hair Posted: 6/28/2009 2:20:05 PM
Hair is not a deal breaker for me. I can see the beauty in all kinds of hair styles. Maybe I might prefer or find more attractive certain styles, but that is situational. But I don't let it influence whether I email someone, and if anything I think I have more responses from medium and long haired contacts. I am finding that my hair length is more of an issue than theirs. I see quite a few ladies that prefer short hair and neatly grooomed. :) I will say the one "hair rejection" email I got was very kind and we have actually corresponded as friends anyway.

MJ or Farrah - eclipse? Posted: 6/27/2009 3:01:01 AM
Why would you "mark the day" for either one of them? I mean seriously. Are you trying to say their deaths should rank historically with the moon landing, or JFK's assassination, as a day when you'll remember where you were when you heard about it? Neither will prove to be that impactful. Neither was Elvis's and yet....

Pain induced memories Posted: 6/27/2009 12:54:29 AM
I went through serious depression a few years ago, and while this is not a universal solution, I got through it when I realized I needed help and sought counseling. It allows you to hear what you need to hear but not someone that you will begrudge saying it. I know a few people who could benefit from that, because sometimes depression is linked to self pity and self indulgence, and it can be brutal breaking out of that cycle.
