Still good to get some diversity of opinion and scientific evidence out there and discussed and added to the maelstrom of human relationships!<br /><br />Miss Schlegel, you've made me think a little more about the brilliant Dan Savage's idea of the 'monogamish' relationship. Also, I read a fascinating book called 'Sex at Dawn' by Christopher Ryan & Cacilda Jethá that explodes the conventional wisdom about the history of human female (and male) monogamy.<br /><br />The better we understand our biology the better we can deal with the consequences of it, methinks.captainmoonlightnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6991192580521604503.post-68028959015086591892011-08-23T12:16:01.668+10:002011-08-23T12:16:01.668+10:00Good article.

Depending on the circumstances, I believe every one has every right to take it personally even though it seems to be a given in 40-50% of relationships for whatever reason. But I also understand that there is reason not to take it personally. I could get over infidelity, but not repeated infidelity. Monogamy for most women means trust. Infidelity to most women means betrayal of that trust. Don't take it personally once - can do .... but for how many times can you find out and not 'take it personally'? <br /><br />SkyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6991192580521604503.post-70342319174466404232011-03-31T12:52:12.699+11:002011-03-31T12:52:12.699+11:00Thanks Marty.Thanks Marty.Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12319204324614421431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6991192580521604503.post-78361925109063476362011-03-31T10:05:14.080+11:002011-03-31T10:05:14.080+11:00Perhaps if you finish your book you might meet mor...Perhaps if you finish your book you might meet more men.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6991192580521604503.post-87268673913124576072011-01-26T22:18:46.965+11:002011-01-26T22:18:46.965+11:00Finkler?Finkler?zigsmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18129312809499688711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6991192580521604503.post-3072584339564700502011-01-25T21:45:00.809+11:002011-01-25T21:45:00.809+11:00I was stone cold sober.

That being said, Robert is five years younger than James and is into martial arts. The problem James has is that he loves food and a leisurely life style...not condusive to great weight management. The other problem for Spader is one he cannot help unless he wears hairpieces and that is a retreating hairline. I saw him last year during the previews of David Mamet's RACE on Broadway and he really looked great. He had lost a lot of weight and you could really see his character from Secretary just a few years older. Unfortunately he did put some of the weight back on by the end of the play. I guess weight is just an ongoing struggle for him...like many of the rest of us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6991192580521604503.post-79538153777779439522009-11-23T11:33:54.392+11:002009-11-23T11:33:54.392+11:00Who knows where to download XRumer 5.0 Palladium? ...Who knows where to download XRumer 5.0 Palladium? <br />Help, please.

Back in the day when I was a country lass, hoggett was cheaper to buy than lamb and better tasting than mutton. So your father would go to the butcher in town, buy half a hoggett, then spend some hours sorting chops and sausages and legs etc. into freezer bags, and stick it all in the deep freeze so large you could have stacked three coffins in it that sat on the back verandah near the laundry.<BR/><BR/>I sometimes wonder what mutton dressed as lamb would look like. Wilting parsley, those little paper skirts for the chop bones and a spritz of artificial moisture of some kind perhaps? <BR/><BR/>Anyway, you've always had excellent pins, not nun's ankles like me good self, and that more than compensates for the "what a waist" issue in my opinion. xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6991192580521604503.post-56389721274547392582009-03-12T16:34:00.000+11:002009-03-12T16:34:00.000+11:00So true about the lesbian-schnauzer connection.
