So I'm going to Hawaii for the first time... Posted: 11/15/2006 11:38:29 AM
Haunama Bay...a must. Also...if on Oahu....the Punchbowl...the Arlington of the island. North shore is beautiful....and the waves are HUGE! (This from a non surfer) Enjoy your trip. We expect pictures.

You want input? You'll get input. I personally don't see a problem with it....would you throw out all your friends because you found a new one? I take grief (not much, but some) for being on here. I just consider the source.

I have to agree with carnivorous on this one. The cvacation doesn't have to "go" anywhere...get rid of the kids for a weekend to grandma's, and relax. Spend time together. Talk about whatever. Eventually, he will open up. Runnign away from problems doesn't work. They can run faster than we can.

honor and marriage Posted: 3/9/2006 7:45:05 PM
to the OP: Yes, there are. There still are men of honor. Virginity is still prized. Please don't give up...somewhere out there is Mr. Perfect (at least for you)...and it would be really terrible for you to find him after another mistake.. Don't belittle sex. It is a wonderful thing. But I know it means a lot more when you are with someone you deeply care about...there is a warmth and tenderness during that time that I doubt exists anywhere else at any other time.. "I refuse to sleep with a man that I don't love,that doesn't love me ,or intend to make me his wife." YOU GO GIRL! Stick to those guns! "That said am I going to spend my life alone? Because I can't find that special someone who will understand and be willing to wait for me?" Nope, I don't think you will be alone...but isn't it worth waiting for?

honor and marriage Posted: 3/9/2006 7:40:04 PM
What is sexual incompatability? It is doom to a marraige if you can't work it out...and usually, younger people don't have the guts to tough it out and talk about it....hence, the sexual issues (be they too much versus too little drive, or too experimental vs no experimentation at all) become blown out of proportion, and the marraige falls apart. The problems can drive apart couples that have been married for 15 years as fast as couples just getting off the honeymoon cruise. The issue is that the couple that has been married for 15 years might see something worth working for... I am not advocating your "sleeping around"...in fact, I admire that you don't...but your wife and you might face some serious problems later, if the two of you have differing ideas on what would be fun in a bedroom. I hope it doesn't happen. But be prepared to work (yes, WORK) through any issues that may come up. My wife and I had problems in this area....basically two different levels of desire....and it almost tore our marraige apart. So, yes, I have a little bit of experience in this area.

Relationsh*t Posted: 2/26/2006 11:29:57 PM
I tjink the real resaon the relationships go south is, asDNickieD wrote, "because they don't want to work at keeping it working.". It can be tough, mixing two careers, one house, one child (I guess we got lucky there, but that's a different story), and still finding time for each other. You have to work at it, sense when it is starting to go off track, and make a serious effort to get it back. It can be very hard work (and yes, I do speak from experience). But, when you wake up in the middle of the night, and feel that significant other next to you, and you reach out to hug them and they hug you back without even waking up... it is all so very perfect and shows the effort is worth it...

Older men on motorcycles..or wanna be bikers Posted: 2/26/2006 7:40:12 PM
Wanna be biker? Not me. Ride motorcycles? Absolutely (and NO! - that doesn't mean after drinking large quantities of Absolut! ) Been doing it since I was 16 (Riding motorcycles, that is...what did you THINK I was referring to?) and won't give it up. Thong? Perish the thought. I wouldn't wear a thong....alone in the closet...much less outside. People might lose their lunches!

Are relationships worth the effort? Posted: 2/6/2006 2:03:55 AM
I agree with you that the commitment has to be there, and it has to be a two way street...both partners have to be involved in making the relationship work. And believe me, it can be work... But like all things in life, you get out what you put in, and when it is working well....there is nothing better.

Romantic Valentines Day Gift Idea Posted: 2/6/2006 12:58:30 AM
I gave my wife the day off last year....beds made, laundry done, dinner cooked, etc etc etc....she seemed to appreciate it. But I have taken to doing that on a random basis, so i doubt it will work again this year.... I am contemplating a trip to a local fondue restaurant....without the little man. A night at home - again without the little man - will follow. Even if we just drink some wine in front of the fire, i'd be happy. I hope she will be, too...

bush hiding behind the troops Posted: 1/23/2006 11:33:56 PM
OK...enough. I spent twenty years defending this country, and the rights of its citizens. Ask the 10,000+ Kurds who were buried in mass graves in northern Iraq if the were hit with weapons of mass destruction. In the US a***nal, a chemical weapon is a dirty bomb is a nuke, and they are all classified as WMD. If Sadaam hussein didn't have them, wouldn't the Kurds still be alive? As to Clinton vs Gore vs Bush vs Kerry vs....I don't trust any politician. i listen carefully to what they say. I would have voted for Kerry in the last election if he had assembled a plan for implementing his ideas. Bush did not steal an election in Florida. IMHO, "if you aren't smart enough to properly fill out a ballot, I don't want you chosing the President of the most powerful nation on earth" (George Carlin said it first, by the way). And, for those of you who are convinced that Bush made up all the lies about WMD, I would recommend a little research of your own. Start with quotes from Bill Clinton's White House years regarding Iraq...it might enlighten you to realize he thought Sadaam had WMD when he was the president, too...

guess our roles got switched...I do the house (laundry, vacuum, dusting, dishes, a little more than half the cooking), she does the yard (as long as it isn't heavy stuff...her back is messed up)...she mows the yard, as long as I start the mower....it works out.

When you look like I do, you don't have much choice! In a serious note, I regard my wife as much better looking than I am. I tend to be more attracted to women, though! She tells me non-stop how good looking I am, and I still don't believe a word of it...any more than she believes me when I tell her she looks beautiful...

GENDER ROLES...…How Important Are They? Posted: 1/5/2006 7:44:03 AM
Is it the lack of skills or the lack of time? I remember growing up in a "traditional" household...mom did the housework, stayed home, etc and dad was the breadwinner. This lasted until I was 16, at which point mom went out working. I guess the thought was that the parenting phase was over, or maybe the constant parenting wasn't required. My wife and I both work. We almost have to. I am in a rotating shiftwork job, which gives me some serious time at home on days off, but messes me up while working. (I work 12.5 hour shifts). So we share the household duties in a strange manner....I am the "wife" doing the dishes, laundry, vacuuming, etc. (yes, I do windows) (no, I am not available for rent... ). She does the yard (as long as I start the mower she is happy..) The parenting time is tight...but we both realize that a child is a huge responsibility, and must be taken care of before the "mommy" or "daddy" time. This has, in the past few months, put some strain on our marraige (my sons grades have dropped into the toilet). We both see the strain, and are working harder to get time with each other....but our son still comes first. Maybe some new parents don't see things that way. It is easy to blame someone else for your own shortcomings, and very hard to accept respionsibilty for your own actions. But this isn't a skill.....
