Icarus_Falling-- I am so relieved and impressed by your honesty! I felt immediately comfortable around you when you said that you ahd a crush on all the girls on WP, and your wife knew it but understood. You aren't afraid to say what you think... you'll criticise me in one thread and compliment me in another.

Just for the record, I didn't say "all the girls", I think I said something like "a few dozen" of them. My wife actually appreciates my open heartedness, and honesty. And I appreciate her open-mindedness, and her being secure in my love for her. As she puts it, as long as she's the one I come home to at night, it's all good [which I guess means I'm free to do whatever I like during the day? Hmmm.].
And if honesty's your bag, then I'm your huckleberry; I call it how I see it, unless I happen to be dissembling just for fun, which I do sometimes. But a yes man, I ain't.
Have I criticized you? I don't recall, I just say whatever I happen to think. If I say that I've come to believe you're at least as crazy as you initially claimed, is that a critique, or a complement?
Overly-honest can be a double-edged sword; it gets me in trouble sometimes. In fact, my friends at work got together and said I was officially banned from talking to chicks, er, I mean females, after a recent brief encounter with a semi-lucid Greenpeace jailbait nymph during a work-related function in downtown Seattle. I stick by my query/claim that Greenpeace and other environmental activist organizations use cute girls and sex as a recruitment tool. But, perhaps I could have worded what I said/asked a little less, uh, directly.
Good fortune,
