I was surprised that word of it didn't reach Paris. It seems unlikely that the father and son were the only two people in Frankia who saw the operation underway.

Is there anything between Missouri and Colorado besides Kansas?

I GOT THEM ALL! Continuing my habit of bragging, since it happens 2-3 times per year.

You've missed the point. The point is that a man I'd been dating for a few months asked me to end a 30-year friendship. He didn't sit me down and say, "I'm uncomfortable with your friendship with What'sHisName. Can we talk about it?" He said, "You need to end your friendship with What'sHisName." I would have been…

I love the checkerboard paint.

Thank you! I know I could have researched online, but I really only wanted 2-3 sentences, not an in-depth analysis.

That happens every time I hear "Under Pressure" on the radio. The first few seconds are very similar.

I really want Pastor Tim to die. Not because he might be a threat, but because I despise him. And his hair. Fuck his hair!

You beat me to that by 30 seconds. Damn you.

I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan, and never let you forget you're a man.

Could someone give me a brief summary of what was going on in El Salvador?

Those are good questions. One thing that occurred to me is maybe the wife is in menopause or peri-menopause. PART says he's 52, which would put the wife squarely in the age range. Wild fluctuations in hormone levels can do crazy things to a person.

As close to the truth as possible without messing up family relations temporarily or permanently. The fewer and smaller the lies, the easier they are to keep straight.

There are a lot of things I wish my parents had done differently, but like you, I attribute most of them to having to make it up as they went. I know that they never intended to hurt me, and that goes a long way.

"Hey, Mom and Dad, I am so looking forward to seeing you, but I have plans for one evening while you'll be here. Is there something that might be fun for you to do that evening that I could arrange for you ahead of time?" And suggest some stuff.

I'm not really into orgies. Can I come over and jump on your bed, lose my balance, fall off, and break the lamp? My mom would never let me do that.

If not, maybe she can darn your socks.

Ditto. One of my best friends is a guy I've known for 30 years, and we dated for about two years way back there. I started dating a guy who asked me to end that friendship. I refused, and he broke up with me. There were a number of ways he tried (and sometimes succeeded) to control me; that was just the one that broke…

Also, they've been married for 29 years, the friendship has been going on for 8 years, and it's just now a big enough problem that PART is looking for advice? Seems like there's something else going on with the wife, and he needs to tell her, in the most loving and supportive way possible, that they need to figure out…
