This isn't just a gay phenomenon. As a married woman without kids, I get the same kinds of demands placed on me and as a person who "isn't blessed by the joys of children" (sarcasm fully intended) I am expected to pick up for the parents who have to miss work for sick kids or have their schedules rearranged to appease their family life. It's annoying... what's worse is when people ask me if I have kids and I say no and then they feel inclined to pity me. It is my choice not to have a child but I feel as though I need to explain why I don't... kids are wonderful but trust me they aren't for everyone. Sorry... feeling a wee bit bitter today. LOL. Happy Sunday.

My thoughts exactlly. :) Hehe... maybe we should just tell people we have kids... if they ask to see pictures, I'll tell them that my kids are afraid of cameras so we refrain from snapping photos... hehe... think it would work?

I'm quite happy with the Biden pick. I would have been happy with almost any of the true contenders, but I was a bit worried about an Obama/Clinton ticket even though it would have solved a lot of the Hillary-supporters issues. Personally, for as much as I liked Bill Clinton and would support HIllary for president, I think that having Obama, Hillary AND Bill in the White HOuse might be a few too many presidents. I think we have seen that the Vice President can actually have quite a lot of power... see Dick Cheney if you doubt me. :) Obama/Biden for '08!!!!!

Re: What Religion Should You Be?

BarbaraH — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 12:26:26 -0000

Interesting idea... I should follow: Taoism

Your idea of religion (or spirituality) is broad and expansive.
You believe that God is everywhere and in everything.

For you, life is about achieving balance and harmony.
The more you can go with the flow, the happier you are.

Thank you Royal Caribbean for taking care of your guests. And yes, please remember to TIP GENEROUSLY on the cruise. We saved a lot in gratuity and I plan to make up for that by being an EXTRA good tipper. The crew deserves it.

When I was just out of college, I learned that my maternal grandmother was my by-then-deceased grandfather's second wife. His first was the love of his life who died young from appendicitus. My grandmother was the woman he decided to marry so he could have children. Which explained a lot.

Thanks for sharing your mother's story.

So sorry to hear of your loss. I hope your father's memory will be a blessing and a source of comfort for you and your family.

Rick,

I wasn't blogging all weekend so I didn't hear about this until I checked in on Scott's blog. I've already posted a comment but again, my deepest sympathies to you and your family. Allow your feelings to flow without any editing. Give yourself permission for full expression during this time. There is no right or wrong way to feel, only the way you need to feel.

Re: A good father

Dpaste — Thu, 06 Jul 2006 14:50:34 -0000

I gather your father was dealing with health issues before his passing. It makes sense that he was tuning in to his own mortality and this made him reflective and interested in seeking an assessment of his life. You gave him an honest and generous answer.

Your post got me thinking. My Dad is well loved and has a large network of friends and such, but our family lives long. When my Grandma, his mother, died, most of her friends were already gone. If it weren't for our family and the fact that my aunt packed the house with a lot of her own friends, I'm not sure what the turn-out would have been. Not that it matters, but somehow, I would want my Dad, and my Mom for that matter, to have a send off worthy of who they are.

Glad to hear you are on the mend. Take it one day at a time.

We make our own luck. Start believing it will change and it will. Find opportunity in adversity.

Find cliches in your comments.

Hugs.

I remember the Gay Games with they came to New York and coincided with the Stonewall 25 celebration and Pride March. It was insane and fabulous. I will never forget it.

I was at the Gay Games opening and closing ceremonies when they were in NYC back in 1993 or 94. I went by myself for the opening and loved it. Maybe I was so newly out that they could have just sat on the field for three hours and napped and I would have cheered, but it was very exciting for me.

Closing ceremony with a bunch of friends was off the hook. Crystal Waters, Lisa Lisa, and Patti LaBelle singing Over the Rainbow. I didn't know I could scream that loud. Although that night did seem to go on too long with the final parade of athletes and Harvey Firestein rasping "We are so proud of you" 4 gazillion times.

I have a Greenpoints card that I got from a local supermarket chain, D'Agostino's. After they total your bill, they swipe the card and the points get added to your account. I have the card more for instore discounts, none of the items you can redeem interest me.

I'm rather busy wooing someone, so you can't blame me.

Change isn't always a negative. Change can also mean a better job or a new love.

My instinct is to agree with you as well, although like most of these things, the truth probably lies somewhere in between.

The comforting thing is that the President's approval rating barely budged after the announcement. Of course he isn't up for re-election, but hopefully this will have just as little impact on the Congressional and State elections.

Sorry I've been absent. I had to have my work computer wiped and restored and it wasn't until I read Tuna Girl's blog that I realized I hadn't put you back on my blogroll.
