Jimmy Carter once said that the reason he and Rosalyn had such a successful marriage was because they both had separate interests and they gave each other space to pursue them and then sort of came back together to hear about each other, so that they could each be fulfilled but also work together as a team. That…

Christ, even their fights are boring.

I always struggle with the difference between coercion and being clear about what one needs/wants in a relationship. I’m fortunate enough to be in relationships with people who are on the same page as me about non-monogamy, and I dislike drama to the extent that I entirely avoid monogamous people who are ‘willing to…

Obligatory...

My wife says her dad proposed in the truck on the way to the dump.  They’ve been together 54 years so I guess it worked out....

That’s a lot of moving parts... No way it's going to go off as planned. I feel sorry for her, already.

This is the next dumbest white shit I ever heard, and this is learning about the shooting explosive barrels for a gender reveal by border patrol morons and starting a wildfire.

Sorry but I find grand gestures ultimately stupid.

I stopped on a trail and asked my wife to marry me on the way to the dump to drop off some trash. 

there’s nothing inherently dangerous about swimming down 13 feet with a snorkel. In fact, it’s a hell of a lot safer than scuba diving

One of my sons asked his wife in parking garage. He had a whole evening planned, but he was nervous, and act all strange and my future daughter-in-law just started asking what was wrong and wouldn’t stop. Eventually he broke, and just took the ring out of his pocket and thrust it at her. Four beautiful grandkids and…

I just posted this elsewhere, but how far underwater could he even have been?  This probably didn’t look like much of a risk on the front end.

You say it as if allowing a bit of dignity and a minimum of support is cheap and easy...and you’re right. It’s actually cheaper and easier to give a bit of help and then stand out of the way while people go about their lives than it is to be a bigoted asshole and work against people.

Hey, don’t you know Jesus Himself has Ben’s back...

Thank you for this. I’ve been of the opinion that Ben Carson is an idiot savant since the moment that he walked onto the political stage. I’m not saying that Carson has a learning disability; I am saying that he is an idiot. 

There is an issue here though. That issue is that trans women who are homeless, for whatever reason, may not have access to hair removal treatments, right down to the common razor, and that is something that can be deeply traumatizing to them. So shelters should be making sure that trans women who present there have…

Right? I don’t have time for all this nonsense. I perpetually late already. Let’s not add more time for things my hair was never meant to do in the first place. lol 

I hate this obsession with “laid edges” when it comes to natural hair. If its curly unleash the curls. I don’t understand why people fight to put hair in pony tail and end up with traction alopecia, just let the fro go.

it’s good you’re here to help clarify and explain her relationship of nearly 30 years to her.
