Congratulations and best of luck to you all. I am hoping for the best. I'm sure he's in good hands and getting the care that he needs.

Can get them for your neutered pets too. www.neuticles.com Yes, I was pretty surprised when my brother-in-law told me that. Its a pretty big part of their market. Love the website ........... I didn't realize I was damaging my cat's self esteem when I got him fixed!

Actually, you CAN get phoney baloney balls- all different sizes, too! I have a pair in a drawer at home - my brother in law works for a company that makes boob AND ball implants. After he gave my boyfriend a sample pair of boob implants, I thought it was only fair he raid the sample cabinet for me too!

She has a right to know. He SHOULD be the one to tell her, but if he won't, then you should. She'll thank you for it eventually.

Were people getting "married" before the Jewish or Christian Bible? Yes they were- for reasons far more practical than religion.

As it stands now, in this country, marriage is a LEGAL institution, one that allows certain rights and priveleges, and in some cases, a financial benefit. As it is now, "civil unions" are not given the same rights, benefits or credibility in this country. Besides which, wasn't the whole concept of "separate but equal" (which is pretty much what you are suggesting) shot down when they de-segregated the public schools back in the 60s?

Should gays be allowed to marry? This isn't the standard poll, honest.

It seems to me that your friends have found a way to work around a system that would otherwise discriminate against them. They would not be the first people who married for reasons other than true love, regardless of sexual orientation. It also seems to me that while their marriage may not be a "traditional" marriage, they do share their lives with each other and are raising a family together. If it works for them, why question it? -
I agree with you. Then again, I am no lawyer and no expert on the constitution, and I don't live in California. But I do not understand how after the California SC determined that it is unconstitutional to deny homsexuals the right to get married, any proposition could change that. The irony is that Prop 8 could very well force the issue to the US SC and open the door for legalizing gay marriage across the entire country. It really is just a matter of time anyway. I have yet to hear a rational, logical, intelligent argument against gay marriage. Marriage as it stands today is a legal institution, not a religious one.

I agree with you! There is a huge difference between a "nice guy" and a whiner!

Its not wrong and at least one of cats LOVES those things! He doesn't like to be shot at, but he does LOVE to chase the nerf darts or whatever they are!

OK, fair enough. I'm glad she knew about this. I would feel really betrayed if this kind of discussion was going on behind my back and that's why I spoke up. And like I said, I have a nephew whom I adore but truthfully, I would NOT have left him home alone at 15- even at 18 he's not the most trustworthy person. On the other hand, I was babysitting other people's children at age 12- go figure. Every kid is different and I'm sure your fiance has her reasons to be cautious. My gut tells me it is something she and her son will need to work out between them, and you'll need to wait it out if you want you alone time. I'm also a step mom (not actually married but close enough ...........) and she was 15 when me and my SO first got together, so I do have a little insight into the whole step parent to a teenager thing. Its not always easy, but my step daughter is awesome and I'm glad she's a part of my life- she's a young woman now and a step mom herself.

LOVE the grapes!

PRIVATELY discussing it is one thing, but even that depends on the relationship, and also how actively involved the father is. This isn't an infant or very young child that the OP has agreed to help raise as his own. She's been raising her son without the OPs help for a while now. And without OUR help as well, I might add! PUBLICLY questioning your fiance's parenting skills and decisions? Way over the line. I don't think that's something I could forgive.
-
She's HER kid, not yours. When you are involved with someone who has a child, that is something you need to accept. Discipline and important decisions like whether or not to leave him home alone are simply not yours to make and they never will be. If you respect her, don't question her parenting. Even if she is in the wrong, it isn't your place to tell her and if you try, you'll only create problems between the two of you. Let me guess- is this why you're currently in the doghouse with her? And BTW- I've got an 18 year old nephew- in many ways a wonderful kid but he sure as hell could not have been trusted home alone at 15 even for a few hours. His parents left him for a long weekend last month and regretted it.

I expected nothing less than a good inspirational speech from Obama. He delivered. I expected a gracious speech from McCain- of course- as you said, the whole country was watching. But McCain went above and beyond- his concession speech was gracious, humble and inspiring at the same time. I had tears in my eyes, and I really did not expect that.

I think you need to learn how to navigate the deck at the Tiki Bar first.

The weirdest part of the show was when Sarah Palin came on as herself and threatened to shut down the network after she won. She was completely deadpan and there really was no hint of humor or sarcasm as far as I could see. Just weird ................. My boyfriend and I just looked at each other and said "What was THAT???"
-
Wow- that's reaching and it seems really beneath you too. If he had pulled strings, you or someone else would be putting him down for being a hypoctire and using his political influence for personal gain. He doesn't and he's a hypocrite for not being his brother's (or aunt's) keeper? Pathetic................

I went to a lot of concerts in the late 70s and throughout the 80s. Its hard to pick just one. There were the all day outdoor extravaganzas, my first "real date" was a Foghat concert when I was 15, my first scalper experience was a Springsteen show when I was about 20, I saw Journey several times. Concerts are so freaking expensive these days, I don't know how kids get to see any live bands! I don't go to nearly as many these days- the best big concert I've been to lately was Mana last year and I can't wait until they come back. I'm actually listening to the live CD right now.

pssssst- I don't think he was born in the US and probably did NOT go trick or treating as a child.

Is he banned? I thought his "ban" was self imposed ...............
