    in light of the recent threads on homosexuality, if you were gay would you let anyone on this site know?

    would you feel supported as a gay exjw or would you feel ridiculed?

    would you feel safe here?

    The Top 10 Lies Happy Husbands Tell

    "sure, honey, that dress looks fine.

    why he tells it: hassle avoidance.

    men employ these "forgivable fibs" not just to avoid hurting you ("of course you don't look fat in that outfit") but to make their lives easier ("i think that wallpaper looks great") and to steer clear of trouble ("i guess cindy crawford's 'sexy' in a conventional kind of way, but she's not my cup of tea").. it's not that your man doesn't care what you wear or what the living room looks like -- he does.

    DH and I have been married 30 years and we've turned just about everything on this list upside down.

    1. "Sure, honey, that skirt looks fine." His version: "I remember fondly the years when you wore miniskirts. Yeah, you don't have the legs for it any more [true], but hey, I really like the whole sarong-and-no-underwear thing!"

    2. "I can fix it." He'd better be able to, he was in the construction trade for 20 years, and when that went bust, taught himself way too much about computers.

    3. "I was not looking at her boobs." Actually, he was. And pointed them out to me, like he's supposed to.

    4. "Nothing's wrong." Actually, this is *my* line. I'm the one who tends to bottle things up.

    5. "I tried to call you." After 30 years, why *should* he have to call home like an irresponsible teenager? Look, when *I'm* at a strip show, he doesn't expect *me* to call home!

    6. "I don't want to have sex unless you want to." Um, I haven't heard this one for several years now. Hee hee.

    7. "I'm the best, baby." Well, he doesn't actually *say* it this way :)

    8. "My old girlfriend? She was just okay." She's turning out to be a really cool old lady, though. We're friends now & have been for years.

    9. "I did not have sexual relations with that (wo)man." Well, damn. We'll just have to ask someone else.

    10. "I'll never lie to you." Mainly because neither of us ever learned how.

    ...Is there such a thing? I had a sip of the best Irish whisky I've ever run across at the Ancient Ways festival. A nice lady brought a jug to share. It was a little sweeter than other Irish whiskeys, much smoother, and had a ravishing "nose". I can't find any reference to it on the web.

    The lady who brought it announced it as "my friend, John McClymonds", but the next morning everyone swore up and down it was Tullamore Dew. Yet there was a bottle of the latter going around, and it tasted more like the Bushmills I'm used to, not like the nectar in the old-fashioned jug.

    I'm all clueless here.

    Live music. My husband's noodling around on his umpteen keyboards and black boxes, putting together a couple new pieces.
