Yes, I'd agree that it possible. It's the statements that don't require much twisting that bother me. :D And BTW, Colin, if you honestly take offense to the idea that saying "(God bless her)" every single time you refer to the Queen is sickening or annoying, ask yourself how you'd react if...

Sorry if you feel I'm picking it apart, but I think if you're going to aim a message at young people it only makes sense to use terms that are relevant to them. Teaching them life lessons through references to outdated things sends the signal that your lessons are outdated. I realize your...

I can pretty much guarantee he didn't. Not only is nothing in there particularly original, but... Bill Gates? Giving the keynote speech. At a high school? Sorry, but how gullible does this author think people are? Sheesh... And I just have to comment on a couple of them: A car phone? One of...

It's definitely an interesting angle and probably one that most people wouldn't think of. I don't it's the case with us, though. I'd actually say it's more likely we haven't spent enough time together recently. I can elborate if anyone's interested, but I won't do so uneccessarily. ;)

Fun fact: Debbie Reynolds learned to dance on the set of Singing in the Rain. Not only did she learn to dance on the fly, but she mananged to blend right in with a pair of the greatest dancers, Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor. :) Great quote from Singing in the Rain: "Short people have long...

Once again, thank you all (except one person, I'll get to that in a minute) for your input, support, and excellent advice. There are some things I'd like to respond to and then some things I want to say. I'd say that's pretty accurate. Certianly sex can often (hell, even usually) be just about...

Ginger Rogers and Debbie Reynolds would like a word with you. :mad:

Wow! That sounds like a fantastic trip, Vass. Congratulations!

Well, it's kind of an odd animal. Yes we've talked about it and when we have he has been receptive and understanding. And I have to be honest with myself and realize that he has been trying. The problem is it just doesn't feel like the situation is changing, and his efforts just feel so forced...

I don't know why you'd say that, my friend. This is not something that I can figure out after a few posts. There's no one thing anyone can say that will instantly resolve my dilemma. I just need to think things through and any input is helpful.

Yep, and worth thinking about. Thanks. :) And thank you Brian, Paul, Lisa and Dan for your input as well. I may continue to add to the topic or just muse over people's responses. Everyone's input is greatly appreciated. :)

Not at all, Ken. But I'm wondering why my sexuallity is being factored into your response. I would think that my dilemma is equally applicable to a heterosexual relationship, so I don't see why switching to one would necessarily solve my problem. I'm really more interested in hearing from...

As blunt as you want to be. I need some good, honest advice.

I have a relationship question that I've had a hard time finding someone I can talk to about. I thought this might be a good place to hear others' opinions, since I know there are many caring people here who have experience with the challenges of a long-term relationship. Most people will...

I definitely agree on X-Men 2, but I thought Spiderman 2 was equally good as the first. I felt like the movies were very different in many ways and I liked them for different reasons. What I liked most about Spiderman 2 was the progression between the characters' relationships. They could have...

Another great recommendation. Not that I've seen many films/miniseries that portray the life of Jesus, but this one is fantastic. It's fairly complete, wonderfully acted (featuring other big names such as Anne Bancroft, Ernest Borgnine, James Earl Jones, Laurence Olivier, Anthony Quinn, Rod...

Yes, YES, YES!!!! Fantastic choice! I actually have not seen this next movie, only pieces, but The Philadelphia Story is an amazing comedy with (again) Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart and Catherine Hepburn. I didn't see the first two, as my impression was exactly how you described. However, I did...

I saw the second half of it on TV. Was that ever a depressing movie? :o

Lisa, agreed on all points, though I didn't think it was quite as good as the first but still a worthy sequal by all accounts. As before, the character of Elizabeth was given the most depth (though not in the literal sense, har har) and she continued to develop in interesting ways but that also...

Thank God for small favors. I guess I'll have to wait for the next crappy remake to snobbily declare Hollywood as officially out of ideas. ;) I still like that movie very much. The "best day/worst day" scene gets to me every time.
