Some of my favourite reds are from that area, lucky you! I should really do a wine road trip down there sometime. I love visiting wineries.

I'm more of a beer drinker but I always have a bottle of red and white around for cooking. It just adds so much flavour. Yum... A cup of Malbec in beef stew = a favourite. <drooling...>

I think it's a great event because it hits so many points. - It makes TSCC looks ridiculous for discouraging girls and women from wearing pants in the 21st Century. - It makes the micro-managing, power-tripping busybodies more visible, vocal and annoying.... which can provide light bulb moments for current TBM members because 'Mormons are the best anti-Mormons.' - It helps like-minded

You could always start a conversation with your child about the ethics of rampant capitalism that occur the day after a day of thanks and how many national chain stores treat their suppliers and staff in less than ethical ways. ;-) The cashier will catch sh!t by your bringing the mistake to light. I'd keep the item and to make it all good I'd go to the local food bank and donate the $35.

Kinky sex is not a bad thing... so long as everyone's an adult, consensual and safe. What's is a bad thing is the boyfriend pressuring his girlfriend/your niece. He's behaving poorly. It's abusive. IMO, if you wish to help your niece, it might help that you help her see that his pressure as abuse/bullying.

I used to participate on a British Expats forum and from what I gathered, it is much easier to get Australian, Canadian, New Zealand citizenship than American. Of course if it's American citizenship that you're after, that above info is useless. However, if it's wanting to be an expat that you're wanting, it's info to consider.

Yep. Even as a Canadian, I find it strange! I mean, we have Thanksgiving in October and it's just a long weekend to enjoy the fall harvest; eat, drink, eat, drink, nap, repeat. Here's a 40 sec video that explores the cultural difference between Canada and the US when it comes to Thanksgiving. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=is8W7yR3WsA :D

I was a vegetarian for 22 years, though I eat meat occasionally now. I made a variety of veggie feasts but my favourite was and still is a good nut loaf served up with all the rest of the usual trimmings. So much tastier than turkey. I don't mind turkey but it's pretty bland compared to my nut loaf.

I think there's a difference between seeing someone as 'objectively attractive' and seeing someone that is attractive to you. Eg. I can see that Brad Pitt is attractive to others (meaning I agree his looks are inline with what society considers male beauty) but I personally am not attracted to him. I don't find him sexually attractive, he doesn't make my neither regions tingle at all (and I'm

Sounds sort of incestuous doesn't it? Relating to that, I was on local LDS site and just about peed myself laughing at the unfortunate names of local seminary teachers.

Your analogy assumes that your husband likes your cooking. The situation in the OP is that he doesn't like his wife's cooking, doesn't find her that sexually attractive. I think in this situation, a person using porn to get excited enough that so that they can bang their spouse, is pretty dishonest and potentially hurtful. It's like asking your spouse to put a bag over their head before you

I have experienced what I think you're describing. One of my male friends and I get along very well. We are both very at ease with each other, have much in common, and love each other very much. Many years ago we decided to try to become a couple since we get along so well. Problem: No sexual chemistry. Zero, none. It's hard to explain because we were both horny with minimal sexual hangups

Why do you and/or she even care if it's "adultery" or not? Isn't the fact that you and her are behaving in a manner that is not very ethical information enough? (Assuming the husband is in the dark and betrayed.)
Forum: Recovery Board

I think that depends upon the person and their situation. If the porn viewing bothers their partner or is used as a distraction from real life (like excessive tv, gaming, RfMing ;-) ) I think it's something that can be a problem.
Forum: Recovery Board

I think it can be a legitimate concern. Though I like my porn, I would not be with someone who was "very into porn" or into a genre of pornography I found off-putting. I wouldn't find that person attractive, just like I wouldn't be with someone with a drug addiction or who had horrific tastes in music or art. I think porn can be really good and really bad; healthy and unhealthy;

That's all very nice.... however... I'm highly visual. I look at and watch porn. I bought Playgirls when I was younger (pre-internet!) The porn I look at and watch is 100% naked men. I get very turned on by the male body... in many shapes, colours and forms. I think penises are awesome. I get very turned on by watching two, or more, men having sex. Oh yeah, and I'm a woman. Th
