Well, yeah. If your "ex-homo" beau isn’t putting out. That’s the advice you’ll apparently get from a Focus on the Family advice columnist. RawStory clued me in to this tidbit, which appeared on the FoF website but was late removed, in which a woman opines that her ex-gay boyfriend hasn’t fully made this switch, […]
I’ve been sitting here for half the day trying to come up with something witty, profound, or uplifting to say about Valentines Day. Not the hype (or that justifiable hate for that hype). Just the day, and what it’s about.
It’s not much, and it’s probably a bit corny, but here’s what I got.
All […]
Here’s a tidbit related to same-sex marriage that I hope doesn’t fall into the hands of, say, Pat Robertson or some other frothy-mouthed right winger, because they’re sure to add it to their many reasons for opposing same-sex marriage: it may improve our health.
Doctors already know that marriage benefits the health of both […]
…without a doubt, has to be when I open our front door in the evening, and Parker jumps up and yells “Daddy!”, and comes racing over to give me a hug.
Well, that key is already taken; co-owned by the hubby and the kid. But this quiz comes up with some interesting answers as to what might make up that key.
The Keys to Your Heart
You are attracted to good manners and elegance.
In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you’re told that […]
This is funny, and something any married person can probably relate to. No matter if you have a husband or a wife, you probaby have a “honey-do” list (i.e. “honey, do this,” “honey, do that, ” etc.). Normally, it just takes being asked over and over again to motivate you, if only to stop […]
I started off the day borrowing from a post of Sheherazade’s, and as she wraps up her “Google Day” it seems appropriate to wrap up my day with her last post. Someone googled “what to men for in a girlfriend” and ended up at her blog. She suggests the following good-places-to-start, which perfectly encapsulate a […]
Sheherazade is doing “Google Day” on her blog, in which she answers various Google queries that brought folks to her site. (That’s one idea I fully intend to borrow later.) There’s one post “Bad Reasons To Date A Guy,” that gave me flashbacks to my single-and-looking days, and also caused a shudder or two. Go […]
It’s late, and I should be going to bed because I have another full day ahead of me tomorrow. But as I was catching up with my blog reading, there were two posts that I just felt I wanted to single out in the hopes that a few more poeple might read them, because I […]
Two interesting questions about parenting came in.
Lauren asks, “What you didn’t expect about parenthood?”
On this, I hardly know where to begin. Before we adopted Parker, I read just about every book on parenting and childcare that I could get my hands on. Upon becoming a Dad I discovered that nothing you read and nothing anyone […]
Tom asked, “How and where you met your partner and how long it was before it dawned on you that he was the one?” Seems like as good a question as any to kick off “All Request Friday.”
Sitting here thinking about it now, it’s hard to believe it’s been nearly five years since we met. […]
I can’t let the day go by without wishing a happy six year anniversary to Mike (of Prime Time) and E. J. (of ej flavors). After reading both of their anniversary posts, I just wanted to post a little shout out of my own. Goodness knows there’s little enough love in the world as it […]
If you’ve been reading this blog lately (which seems to have become a one-issue blog in the past couple of weeks), then you know that the same-sex marriage issue is an important one to me. It’s one that reaches into my day-to-day life, affecting both my present and my future. It’s personal.
I guess if I […]
According toa poll conducted by Reader’s Digest and the Gallup organization most Americans say ‘I Love You’ every day .
Seventy-three percent claimed they said it once a day, including 71 percent of men and 74 percent of women. In addition, 14 percent claimed to say “I love you” several times a week, and 5 […]
Mark of Zeizeuge had a post on dating today that reminded me of my own dating experience, and he mentioned that if anyone ever wrote a book on how to catch a husband he would buy it. Well, back during my dating period, and after I settled down with the hubby, friends told me that […]
