Oh that's right!

Thanks.

See, I was originally gonna post "I knew it was good for the skin, but who knew it could enhance your career?"

Then I realized how open that was to jokes about the money shots I've taken from various partners over the years, so I changed it.

Possibly only via email or IM, so I'm not blabbing. There was at least one fairly detailed anon post about it on the old board.

I like that a post about anal sex includes the punch line to my 5-year-old's favorite knock-knock joke. Worlds collide!

Amazing Race-Family Adddition. Still sucky, yet I watch. [help me]

But, how did the censors let this through:

after the railroad task, calling for driving spikes:

Brother 1: Man, I should go into railroading

Brother 2: Yeah, three strokes and I was done.

Brother 1: Just like in the bedroom.

All: High fives.

The only thing missing was a beer bottle getting knocked over by a dick. Ping pow!"

No, that wouldn't cover it -- ironweed was pitching, IIRC. Try condoms?

The Erasure song is gay, for sure. But no discussion of The. Gayest. Songs. Ever. could be complete without a nod to some Cher song in which she uses one of those voicebox things. Unfortunately (in many ways, including the fact that it is now in my mind) If I Could Turn Back Time is the only Cher song that has popped into my head, and that is not it.

Cher is the only concert that Mr Man has ever refused to attend out of principle since I've known him. I was not the person who wanted to go, by the way. It was supposed to be a birthday gift for one of our gay friends in Dallas. Everybody else went and had a blast. I'm sure I would have enjoyed it at least as a crowd-watching opportunity.

I honestly do not recall. It seems like what I am remembering pre-dates that movie, but I am not good at timelines.

Yes, yes, Believe definitely works.

This is the link to the start of that thread. The rugby anon is me. I cared about such things then.

Gifts for gardeners
 

That same trellis is the only thing I have ever purchased from Smith & Hawkin (I got 3 pf them), but I just use them to support the privacy screen/jasmine after I put in the flagstone patio. Unfortunately Mr. Chick won't let me do the gardening in my condition. And I don't trust him to trim the crepe myrtle properly this winter, so I am working on talking my sister into helping me do it.

It would be outing because it would have to be by email, but I might tell your GC that he should make you take more work back in-house, that you have seemingly too much time on your hands.

It's to talk to my internal clients.

Thanks for the link, RT -- I found this gem from raouaouaouaoaoal:

Iowa is below Minnesota (in more ways than one). And if, despite the presence of the wacky Minnesotans here, you have no idea where Minnesota is, it is just south of Manitoba!

After the Affair
 

Here's a question for our crack lawtalkers community:

I was talking with a friend about success rates for relationships that start out as affairs (assuming the person in the marriage/committed relationship ultimately chooses the new relationship, as opposed to the pre-existing one). I had heard, though I don't know where, that the long-term success rate* for those relationships is lower than the long-term success rate for relationships that start when neither party is in a committed relationship. My friend disagreed.

The reasons I had heard for the lowered success rate ranged from - (i) baggage brought into the relationship by the time both parties are free to commit to the new relationship, (ii) desire for joys of singlehood once out of long-term committed relationship that was broken up, (iii) people placing too much value on new relationship (and person in it), as opposed to facing the other problems with the existing relationship, and (iv) the excitement of the illicit relationship doesn't translate into daily life once it is no longer illicit.

Anyone know the answer to this or have anecdotal evidence they want to share?

I was going to post this as a RoTAF because my current relationship would qualify as one in which one or both parties were in committed relationships when the relationship started, but then I realized that I don't really care if you people know that. So there.

And, for the record, I tend to consider my relationship a success. Hopefully a long-term success. Whatever that means.




*whatever "long-term success rate" means (I'm really not sure of this, but I guess for my questions, I'll say that means the new relationship lasts 5 years or more)

I somehow
 

no offense but in your practice area why does anyone need to talk to you immediately?

• dear fringey- if I retire tomorrow instead of next month how much will my pension drop? PS I need to know by 3 PM

what has he reformed? I am missing the context from the earlier post, but I thought he just got done telling us that the kid will just have to put up with the fact that his/her old man is a drunk pothead. That sounds not so reformed to me.

I somehow
 

He seems to already be somewhat reformed, compared to where he was in 2000.

I somehow
 

you seem to be channeling some of our executives. congrats!

After the Affair
 

I think you forgot a principal reason why relationships born from affairs have troubles: When at least one party has demonstrated the capacity to lie and cheat (by having an affair), it has an effect on trust in the new relationship. I would think this would be more severe with the breaking of marital vows but I'm not sure.

My best friend's current marriage is the product of an affair. They were both married before and have children from their respective first marriages. Her husband is currently engaged in one of the world's ugliest custody battles with his ex-wife. ALL the dirty laundry is being laid out in legal documents. We haven't discussed this recently, but a few months ago, she mentioned (very casually) that she thinks her husband is having an affair. It's like it's to be expected under the circumstances.
