Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments Folks here in Olympia tend to use "partner" because it's more inclusive, and doesn't make the gay couples feel left out.
There's always "spouse", instead of hubby. But it makes me think "louse", so I tend not to use it.

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments i just asked. i guess it is Lava Britches for me


message 153: by RandomAnthony (new)

RandomAnthony | 14536 comments I'm not a fan of "partner". It sounds too...formal. I hate "mate", too.

But I don't have good alternatives, so I usually just point.

"you know...her."

points at wife

I have a friend who refers to her long-term boyfriend as her partner. I guess they're anti-marriage, or already are married in the common-law sense. Anyway, whenever she says it (usually to someone else when I'm in her company) I imagine they think she's a lesbian.


Not that there's anything wrong with that ...

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments what about relevant other

Cosmic Sher (sherart) | 2234 comments Spontaneous, absurd, sea-faring dreamer that balances my pathalogical, deep-thinking, soul-searcher.

But that's too much to type when I refer to him in a thread.

Actually, he is the Oscar to my Felix.


message 158: by Cosmic Sher (new)

Cosmic Sher (sherart) | 2234 comments Yea Lori! I just read your hubby post.
He would hate being called that publicly, but it works for me.

HUBBY!


message 159: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments so call him oscar


message 160: by Cosmic Sher (new)

Cosmic Sher (sherart) | 2234 comments He would just look at me funny. Maybe more like Fred & Ethel... except I'm definitely more a Lucy type.


message 161: by Cosmic Sher (new)

Cosmic Sher (sherart) | 2234 comments Okay... he just gave me a new one to use, which works, but so not appropriate for here. (Longterm F*ckBuddy) LTFB


message 162: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments happy valentine's day LOLOLOLOLOL


message 163: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) LTFB works for me.

message 167: by Cosmic Sher (new)

Cosmic Sher (sherart) | 2234 comments He slunk off... he did that just to freak me out. He loves to catch me off guard cause then I'm not in control. Bastard.


message 168: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments a control freak? imagine that


message 169: by Cosmic Sher (new)

Cosmic Sher (sherart) | 2234 comments (grumble grumble) I'm workin' on it.

He also loves the fact that I'm jabbering my head off with you guys instead of focusing it all at him. I think I scare him sometimes.


message 170: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments yeah, you can be dissecting us and not him.

Great news!




message 179: by [deleted user] (new)

Yeah Sally, and continued sleep to you.




Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments That's wonderful, Sally! I know how awful I feel when I stay up too late, but at least when I do it it's because I want to.


message 181: by Cosmic Sher (new)

Cosmic Sher (sherart) | 2234 comments Yea Sally! What finally worked? Or was it just your body getting to the exhaustion point?

Um, Kevin... no stinkin' Hershey's for me. Sheesh! I got dark chocolate Toblorone... which is the closest this little town has to imported chocolate.


message 182: by Lori (new)

Lori I am so relieved for you, Sally. Phew!


message 183: by Julie (new)

Julie | 568 comments Yeah, it really disrupts your life to have insomnia.
I have it on and off. Once or twice it was so bad I really thought I was going insane, so my doctor gave me Ambien.
Hard-core drug, but it does it's job and it wasn't addictive to me.



message 184: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments i only take ambien on long international flights

man, you are a kept woman sherrie


message 185: by Cosmic Sher (new)

Cosmic Sher (sherart) | 2234 comments you are a kept woman sherrie LOL!

Oh, if you said that to Jared he would bust a gut. No, he just knows how to keep me happy & purring. Cause when I'm happy.. well, you know...


message 186: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments maybe he keeps your mouth filled with chocolate you won't bug him with your space time continuum theories.

hey, what do i know

OK now I'm confused. Isn't that your name?




message 188: by [deleted user] (new)

What a novel idea calling somebody by their name, that may catch on someday.


message 189: by Jared (new)

Jared
Kevin, I do a lot of listening, A LOT. However, I have learned a great deal about space, time, and how long it takes for her to get those ideas out in the open so she can concentrate on going behind the, how do you guys say it, Go behind the ficus tree.
Sherrie is quite the interesting lady. I have asked a few times, "Do you think other husbands talk to their wives about quantum mechanics, string theory, and what "god" really is? Along with, should we have Subway or Quizno's tonight?"
Personally I just don't think there are that many that do.

I'm a lucky guy to have such a mentally "stacked" chick.



message 190: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments you are lucky jared. you guys have a great gig going. my wife is not so much an intellectual deep thinker as much as a philosophical deep thinker. she loves the game of baseball but does not understand or care about the unique nuances of it. same way with life really.

and you guys both seem to have a great sense of humor which is very important to me. nice to meet you jared


message 191: by Lori (new)

Lori Wait. Jared is Sherrie's HUBBY HUBBY HUBBY??

Takes me awhile to catch on. :D

Sherrie is Jared's presence here going to inhibit your style?

Altho somehow I doubt that very much, that anyone can inhibit Sherri! Long live all the womun like that!

Now Jared, isn't any NASCAR on? Better go check. You might be missing an important cycle around that circle.


message 192: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments people who watch NASCAR are the same ones intrigued by Pong on Atari when it first came out


message 193: by [deleted user] (new)

That brings up an interesting question, how many people would be inhibited on here if their spouse was on here also?

Welcome Jared, and congrats you two on what seems like a great relationship.

try this sleep aide called simlply sleep it is just like tylanol pm and it is non addicting and you can get it in grocery store



message 195: by Lori (new)

Lori Well, I certainly wouldn't share some of the stories I have about him. *cough cough* He'd KILL me! :D


message 196: by Matthieu (new)

Matthieu | 1009 comments I abuse Diphenhydramine hydrochloride (Benadryl) when I'm feeling restless. It works.


message 197: by Cosmic Sher (new)

Cosmic Sher (sherart) | 2234 comments (I love the two different conversations going on here)

Lori, you are awesome. (He recorded the race & then fast-forwarded to the good parts)

Well, it's takes a lot to inhibit me in a comfortable group of people, and Jared has known from the beginning to take me as I am (and me too with him - that's why we get along). He's pretty cool that way. Although, he also takes a perverse glee in poking me on the right buttons just to see me squirm or hiss or even roar. And he just laughs...

Plus, Jared is a Gemini and has multiples of multiple personalities in his head, so he never gets boring. Leos hate being bored. It's simply beneath us!


message 198: by [deleted user] (new)

I have a feeling that I would be a little inhibited also, although I don't really have any bad stories about my wife. But one never knows.




message 199: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments uh oh... astrology


message 200: by Matthieu (new)

Matthieu | 1009 comments Uh oh.
