  1. As long as my BF can live up to the PSE on his part...
  2. Absolutely! Sorry, I contributed to the demise of this spew, er, spray thread... Here's getting back to the original topic: High-Priced Hookers "GFE stands for "girlfriend experience," which means the prostitute will pretend to be a girlfriend, not just provide the services of a hooker. PSE stands for "porn star experience," which means the prostitute will do just about anything." So, which is better...GFE or PSE?
  3. Most experienced @ XC, newer to alpine, fairly conservative skier, plan to use them at both resort and BC.
  4. sometime loving someone is learning to love them in the flawed state they are in. we all have weaknesses, we all make mistakes and have transgressions. Coming from a relationship mired in infidelity (yep those are my folks) i never understood how my mother could stand it. so much so that after my divorce i never thought i would fall in love again let alone be in a long term relationship again. I think the key to a relationship working is loving all you can love. if that person is willing to give you some love back you will continue to love. if they wont eventually you will run out of love and move on. I hear ya - my response was a bit strong, and in reality, it's never as easy or clear-cut as I like to make it sound (as I wish it were) - words are always easier, yeah? Being able to love a flawed person is important...cuz we're all flawed to some extent! But it's important to protect oneself from inordinate pain as well.
  5. The son is lucky to have you around - a father figure is a great thing for a kid w/o the real deal available to him. I know I really valued having an involved step-dad in lieu of the real deal.
  6. Yeah, agreed...the dad has to be ready too.
  7. Wow - what a situation. I really commend you for trying to do something - shows a lot of compassion on your part. My dad was kind of a fuck up and was out of my life for many years, but not because of mental illness - he was just a too-young father who was an idiot/musician. It took me a long time to want to see my dad when he eventually realized the error of his ways and sought a relationship with me. So I would ask the son if he wants that or not. If he wants a relationship, then yeah, I think you could help try to set up another meeting. The son may not be ready for it, though, and may just have to be angry/feel the sting of abandonment for a while... I was about 28 when I finally wanted to begin to have a relationship with my dad after not having much contact at all since the age of 5. And, amazingly, we're really close now. As for the dad just coincidentally being in the neighborhood - weird - I'd check that out for sure. Good luck! I think you're doing the right thing by caring enough to try and explore the issue.
  8. I was gonna say Troll...
  9. Your point is noted - their marriage survived the tragedy of the death of their daughter and is a good marriage after 53 years. That's great. I interpreted the "some question" as being the real deal...implied on my part. Sorry!
  10. That's nice and all, but infidelity is a deal-breaker for me. I don't share well. It's likely the only deal-breaker I really have... I'd make a lousy (polygamous) mormon wife!
  11. if i weren't so lazy i'd dig up the study probaby rather old though happiest: 1) single women 2) married men 3) single men 4) married women So how would this shake out if we changed "happiest" to "unhappiest"? Somehow, I think I'd end up at the bottom of the list... But if you were the lowest on the unhappiest list that would be a good thing!
  12. Love my Shuksans Awesome, thanks - that's one I've been looking at.
  13. I'm trying to take advantage of end-of-season deals to put together an AT setup. I have Dynafit boots and am looking at Dynafit bindings, but would like some suggestions on skis. Also, if you've seen any spectacular deals out there anywhere. Thanks!
  14. That's a very sweet complement to your SO. But I don't buy it (the article, that is).
  15. OMG - me too!!!! Except for the metal part. Watch that whole "process" though...jeez...that's why I'm so bitter - the guy I was seeing told me he was divorced when he was only separated and ended up going back to his wife! What's the rule? They have to be divorced at least a year before they're datable? Next time I'm asking to see the piece of paper showing it's final!
  16. "tounge"? Is that bitch-speak? Yeah, I could use a firm tongue, but what's a "tounge"?
  17. I agree with this - romantic relationships (both good and bad)are the best teachers about oneself!
  18. If relationships are so hard, why is sex so good?!
  19. You make a good point. Mostly on this thread I've been joking around - a little truth, a little just for fun. In all honesty, I'm a hopeless romantic who hopes to find a partner for life. It just hasn't worked out that way yet and I keep getting my heart broken, but being a hopeless romantic, I keep trying.
  20. Ouch! I'm all for long-term monogomous relationships, and I've had a few decent ones. I've just recently been screwed over (by someone who I thought I was in a monogomous LTR with) so I'm bitter. And I think marriage is a faulty concept - too defined. Or just joking about it because it softens the blow of disappointment...
  21. At least from my experience, your friends would seem to be closer to the exception than the norm. I'm not suggesting marriage is essential to being whole, but whether you believe in it or not, society at large simply treats you differently if you are married vs. single. If you're well adjusted, then it won't affect you either way. Not everyone is so well adjusted. I would agree - society is biased towards married people. If one chooses to be single, it's important to either know married people who are well adjusted (ie, not too absorbed in their own marriage that they forget who they are as individuals), or have a good group of friends who are not married.
  22. Yeah, me too. Emphasis on the plural. That's my problem! I try to stick with just one. Hmmmm....plural...I'll try it. Did we scare off all the guys here?
