If you've ever had chocolate gravy.
If you've seen the inside of an outhouse.
If you'd rather go coon huntin' instead of watchin' Monday night Football.
If you used to think the Beverly Hillbillies was a Documentary.

well, my husband found out about my affair (yes, i gave in to the temptation with the soccer player and while it was fantastic, it's over now) and it's been a devestating time, we almost got divorced, but we're working through it.
i knew telling friends and this board wasn't going to help me fight his romantic advances, but i tried.
it was a one time thing that would have continued, but i wasn't too careful about the clues (guilty conscience i think).
Just a question Christina....Are you positive that in every relationship you can either have the companionship and love or multiple partners but not both?
Englishman,
How many couples can you list who have an open marriage? Most people don't advertise it. I can name at least one.
Some people see their wives as partners not possesions.

Just curious Englishman,
Do you have any experience or evidence that supports such a prophetic statement?

all of us know how patricharcial the watchtower society (and most fundamentalist religions) is.
men pretty much "run the show", there probably are things a two year old "brother" would probably get to do before a poineer sister can.
because the sister is a female(maybe .
How many men does it take to open a beer bottle?
None .....It should be open by the time his wife hands it to him.

I just noticed that I am now appropriately classified as a MASTER member.
just wondering if anyone has an idea of how long the average poster lasts online.
is if 3 months, 6 months, 10 yrs?
related question: why do they eventually leave or stay?
Do all people who eventually leave the board do so because they get pissed off or because they just decide they don't need it anymore?

I'll bet someone knows the answer to these questions.

brits rule supreme because:.
imagination - the brits have far more interesting and equivalent words for the us brain-dead.
for example, thundering dunderhead, planky-bonse, squonka, mole-brain, glaswegian.. though most women over 60 in the inner cities, in a sort of tribal union, all wear the same pale-buff raincoats, similar plastic rain-hats and sensible shoes, and all look like joan plowright, they still manage to have sons who are sas hit men or yorkshire cricketers.. confidence - take for example your common or garden down the pub englishman.
Great post HS,
I agree that the English have a much better grasp of the English language but until you learn to speak Texan you just haven't lived.
Nothing feels as warm and friendly as a good ol' "Howdy Ya'll" greeting.
We have found a way to make the English language the language of brotherly love. LOL

when an employer resorts to comments like 'who sign's your check?
' or 'are you biting the hand that feed's you?
', it is normally due to some perceived or overt violation of loyalty, or simply to shut the employee up regarding the subject matter at hand.. i don't like the tactic, because it is rarely used in a one on one situaltion, but generally in the ear shot of other's, to squelch the matter.
Oh my God! Tina! You're right!
Peace out Ya'll

Alan,
That's just it. I did show proof. Now that you are accusing me of falsely accussing you would you care to show proof or is this were you get my attention again by calling me names.
