I tried to talk about PO in my English class the other day. We've been reading Ishmael and I thought it would be appropriate to incorporate it into our class discussion.

There's a girl in my class who's fairly good looking and I've wanted to ask her out for the last while, so I waited to see her reaction in particular.

No one spoke up immediately so we moved on to Shakespeare. The Prof went on for several minutes before finally going to the class for questions and answers. He pointed to this particular girl and asked her, 'What could you expect if you were to create a modern Shakespearian play?'

I had never heard her speak in class before so I was eager for a response.

She was slightly baffled by the question and responded accordingly, 'Well, Shakespeare is pretty old so I don't think you would use technology and stuff.'

Hmmm. I don't go on dates with men so I don't know from experience but how can you say something like that and expect to NOT come across as a sexist bitch? As if you've seen a cross section of all Canadian men. Please watch what you say as it erodes your credibility.

My dad was Canadian. I really do miss him. Life is loss.

Ow, nobody calls threadbear a sexist bitch without hurting me too.

PMS-

You can babysit whenever! I've never been around babies before and the transistion hasn't been easy. Our son has had severe GERD and it makes him cry often, some days are better...some not good. I know he'll outgrow this, so that makes me stay positive. Other then that he is a very good baby, smiles and laughs. Very cute too. I'm trying to get him to walk, but he is not even 3 months...! Everyone tells me it only gets better/first year is the worse. I look forward to him talking (he's become VERY vocal the last 2 weeks...). My sister went through the same situation with her little girl and now she is like a totally different baby (1 year old now).

POPS-

I grew up with my mom and 4 sisters (brothers are older/sisters younger). I used to have dresses put on me (I have pictures to prove it). I've always found it easier to talk to women then men, and i m guessing the reason why was my childhood.

Nicholai... virgin?

Yeah, at your age it's pretty much a given that you haven't given marriage much thought, but the question is, do you still picture yourself humping that "fairly good looking" girl even though she's probably not going to be an English major?

Too bad your PO knowledge won't get your foot in that door. Well shit, guess you'll just have to wait.

I am lucky and pleased to have my partner of 20 plus years. We finally married last week in a gesture of our continued love and commitment and also to benefit from the rules/laws married people enjoy in Oregon. Our adult children were our witnesses and we'll have a party next summer for friends and family. The timing was right and so far so good.

Shanny, best wishes on your reconciliation. What works for us is sharing values and laughing a lot. Also sharing interests and maintaining separate ones as well.
