Apropos of David Cassidy, his daughter is the updated Heather Locklear character in the new Melrose Place. She has her father's (and grandfather's) smile. Also, she apparently re-recorded "I Think I Love You" in 2002 (or 2003) and her father was (publicly) Not Pleased.

The luckiest man alive tells me everything all the time, and he asks my advice on decisions large and small. I am not nearly as forthcoming with him, which drives him crazy, but we are both deeply involved in each other's lives and businesses.

I prefer to maintain financial independence from him -- I buy my own gala tables and wardrobe, pay all of my own expenses, and maintain my own household, which I have done with every successful man I have dated, no matter what they have offered.

My initial question was essentially whether it was reasonable for me to not go to my SO, knowing that if I went to him for advice, I would get that . . . and money.

In our world, private loans are de rigueur. As I said in my initial post, everyone (family, close friends, even my [non-OM] ex) gave me a hard time about going to a third party lender before I spoke to the LMA.

I still think I was right to be independent from him, while everyone else (including him) thinks I am an idiot.

It's about equal portions funny and sad.
That tension about his aging and girth is part of what make his performances so intriguing.

I'm with you. I don't get involved in business with my closest circle of friends for this reason. It's awkward to ask, and money shouldn't infect those relationships.

I can't comprehend it, either. Surprised by your choice, I could understand, but to think you're an idiot*? That's really absurd.

You hang in a crowd of golddiggers? I would question why you ask these people for advice - it is clearly bad.

And why wouldn't your foundation, or your family's foundation, or one of your companies' foundations, pay for the gala tables?

This regression will not stand, man.

Has the whole world gone crazy? Am I the only one around here who gives a shit about the rules?

Lebowski is far more watchable than Raising Arizona. Forget all the t-shirts, and the conventions, and the white Russians, Lebowski is simply a funnier movie than Raising Arizona. The Dude is a funnier character than H.I. And Maude is funnier than Ed. This John Goodman is funnier than that John Goodman. In fact, John Goodman has never been a funnier John Goodman that when he played Walter Sobchak.

I don't have a problem lending money to or borrowing from friends and family or having them invest in deals or investing in their deals. That's truly de rigueur for us. When I have something to pitch, I always go to friends and family first and it's their deal to pass.

My issue was speaking to my boyfriend about it, his issues with not going to him first, and his insistence that I take his advice and money.

Are you all really this bored? E/O's boyfriend, family and friends are probably not really accusing her of being an idiot. What he is saying (and what they have picked up on) most likely is, "I am here for you and this is an area in which I want to and am very much able to help out, so please use me as a resource. And I want you to feel like you should." Jesus.
