    The R Kelly pee tapes doc vs you? Easily you. And when the Trump pee tapes inevitably surface, we can make some popcorn and have a nice night in watching that together. It'll be just so romantic!

    I have to say that I tried to listen to your video but after two minutes just could not take any more.  It felt like I was in the band room during rehearsal of junior high band on the first day of the year.

  • One time and I've been married to him for decades.  I wonder when people say they've been "truly in love" many times??  I think a lot of people feel that being in "lust" is the same as being in love.  Love is something that doesn't come into someone's life a lot .. if it's the real thing IMO.  I guess "love" means different things to different people.

    Assumes that being "truly in love" is somehow a measurable quantity.  Which I don't think it can be since it is so personal and private.  I remember when people used to say OK when you are truly in love you will know it.  Don't know about that at all.  At one time I developed a crush on anyone who paid attention to me.  Later I just assumed if I had a boyfriend that meant I loved him.  Still later I really thought if I had an orgasm it must mean I was in love.  In terms of the intensity of my feeling for someone I would go through periods of feeling intensely for someone and other periods of no feeling so much for them.  Can be based on our expectation for ourselves as well.  In my mid 20s I was so "truly in love" that I made my whole life pretty much about him even when he started being abusive.  He eventually threw me out which was the best thing that could have happened to me.  If that was love then who needs it? 

    How I have come to look at it is this: when I give what I have to give I am loving them.  Truly. May be not all I am capable of giving but is all I can give of myself at the time.  And under the circumstances.  Which I have done in all my close relationships and even in some of my casual.  If they did not appreciate it then so be it.  I am not gaga head over heels about my husband.  We are both very imperfect human beings who have been fortunate enough to find each other and we get on and enjoy each other's company and agree on many things.  Best friends.  So good enough for me whatever you will choose to call it.

  • I don't know.  Once or maybe twice.  I suppose I'll just stick with once as it probably shouldn't be the kind of feeling that is up for debate.
