Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: Dave Earl Date: 23 Jul 07 - 08:40 PM Sorry folk!! Got problems of my own. See you around. Dave |

Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: GUEST,Chongo Chimp Date: 23 Jul 07 - 06:15 PM Blast it! I misspelled my own damn name when I posted last time. Gotta cut down on the whisky, I guess. - Chongo Chimp |

Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: GUEST,Chong Chimp Date: 23 Jul 07 - 06:13 PM I have heard of gorillas that moved in on someone and wouldn't leave after that period of time. But not at my place. No way, Jose. The last rough ape that overstayed his welcome at my place left by the window. Headfirst. He bounced off of the roof of a taxicab three floors down, and I ain't seen him since. I would not have done that if he was a female. Them I ask to leave by the door. Anyways, I think what Peace meant there was to say "guess", not "guest". - Chongo |

Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: Peace Date: 23 Jul 07 - 06:13 PM LOL "Oh, Dr Freud . . . ." |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: GUEST,meself Date: 23 Jul 07 - 05:53 PM "a rough guest would be six to eight months" - Six to eight months?! He'd have to be pretty rough AND tough if I couldn't get him out of the house after three or four days ... |

Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: Peace Date: 23 Jul 07 - 05:45 PM ScoobyDoo: I am sorry to have been so rude. I take it I didn't make myself very clear. I am not the troll. I was asking if you had any idea who the troll was. I am offering my apologies in hopes you'll accept them. To be clear: I haven't posted under any name BUT Peace for a long time--a rough guest would be six to eight months. And when I did it was not for the purpose of trolling. |

Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: Peace Date: 23 Jul 07 - 04:21 PM My three messages to Scooby Doo: 1)Is GUEST the same as Michael? 2)If I knew the answer--your flip remark , "You tell me"--I would not have asked. Don't bother responding to my last message. I do believe we have nothing further to say. 3)No, I am not the troll. Your implication that I was really pisses me off. Here is what you can do. Get in touch with Joe Offer and ask if any of your troll posts come from Hinton, Alberta. That is where I am, and my url never changes. Please do not ever write to me again. I think you are a woman, so I won't tell you what I think you should do. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: Peace Date: 23 Jul 07 - 04:16 PM Ask Joe Offer. Here is my permission for him to track the url of the person who IS the troll. I post from the same url all the time. No, Peace is not your troll on this or any other thread. I have not used a guest name to post with for a long time. Here's my permission for you to ask Joe Offer. Do that. And until you get your answer, kindly take your head and shove it up your ass. |

Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: GUEST,meself Date: 23 Jul 07 - 02:59 PM Well, after all, Spanish is a loving tongue ... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: Emma B Date: 23 Jul 07 - 02:55 PM I rather like the Spanish "mi media naranja" :) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: GUEST Date: 23 Jul 07 - 02:52 PM funnily enough it was Jenny O who first used the term in her post.... "There's the other half, the little woman, 'er indoors, trouble and strife, or even She Who Must Be Obeyed - to name a few. It seems there are more of these to describe women than men." I was joking... |

Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: Scooby Doo Date: 23 Jul 07 - 02:24 PM Why "ebbie". It was my thread anyway!!!!!.Go away troll. |

Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: Peace Date: 23 Jul 07 - 02:18 PM Two guys on a golf coures. One of them slices the ball and it narrowly misses hitting a female two-some about 100 yards away. Fellow says to his friend, "Bill, you should go over there and apologize to her." Bill gets halfway there, stares and returns to his friend. "Dave, would you mind going? One of them is my wife and the other is my mistress." Dave gets halfway there, stares and comes back. Bill just looks at him and says, "What's up?" Dave replies, "Small world." |

Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: Ebbie Date: 23 Jul 07 - 02:10 PM Oh, oh. Is the little woman speaking? *g* |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: Scooby Doo Date: 23 Jul 07 - 01:46 PM Ignore that thread from Crazy Man Michael. Scooby |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: GUEST,Crazy Man Michael Date: 23 Jul 07 - 01:21 PM calling the other half,"the little woman" is just asking for a belt round the lug 'ole :-D |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: Scooby Doo Date: 23 Jul 07 - 12:09 PM Let's hope she will be back soon Peter. That is a very long time to be be married Peter too.Congratulations. Kind Regards. Scooby |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: Midchuck Date: 23 Jul 07 - 11:47 AM I was going to brag about having been married (to the same woman) for 40 years, after "going together" for almost five prior to that. But now she's gone home to mother. She says she'll be back tomorrow, but you never can tell. Peter. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: Scooby Doo Date: 23 Jul 07 - 11:22 AM Yes!!!. I know we did lets get back to boyfriend or husband what would you choose?. Scooby |

Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: SINSULL Date: 23 Jul 07 - 11:06 AM You could always wear T-shirts that say "I'm with stupid ---->" Here in Maine couples call each other Mother and Father. Took me a while to get used to it. "Get in the F**kin' car, Mother". Sorry for the thread drift. We did allow a troll to take this off course and it was a serious discussion. |

Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: Scooby Doo Date: 23 Jul 07 - 10:28 AM Joe, I like the sweetie bit that is romantic. Scooby |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: Joe Offer Date: 23 Jul 07 - 10:12 AM Well, when I want to get uppity, I introduce people to "my wife, DOCTOR Slowick." Now, if she would just make a quarter as much money as people think a doctor makes. -Joe, spouse of a Chiropractor- (and more often, I introduce her as "my sweetie") |

Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: John MacKenzie Date: 23 Jul 07 - 09:16 AM I heard a lady of mature years on the radio yesterday describing the man who I assume is her 'latest squeeze'[I like that one] as her new best friend, which was quite good fun I thought. G. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: GUEST,meself Date: 23 Jul 07 - 09:11 AM After you've passed the half-century mark, talking about your 'boyfriend' or 'girlfriend' seems to me a little ... something. But so does every other available term. "I'd like you to meet Jane, my dear, dear friend, my lover, my partner-in-life, my companion, my woman, my roommate, my long-term fiance - in short, the ol' ball-and-chain!" Hmmm - think I'll try that one next time ... |

Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: JennyO Date: 23 Jul 07 - 07:02 AM It is not SWMBO JennyO,it is SWMBI. Hmmmm. You'll keep, Giok. One of these days I'll make it over there.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: John MacKenzie Date: 23 Jul 07 - 04:13 AM I favour the introduction of one's fiancee, as 'My future ex- wife' Lynne :) G. |

Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: John MacKenzie Date: 23 Jul 07 - 04:09 AM It is not SWMBO JennyO,it is SWMBI. G. {Little joke there} |

Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: George Papavgeris Date: 23 Jul 07 - 04:05 AM "My girlfriend", or "my better one-third" is how I usually introduce Nessie. Interestingly, in Greece the politically correct way is to say either "the wife" or "my wife"! By using the definite article, they imply a sort of "naturally, I couldn't be without her, we're inseparable". Go figure. |

Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: MBSLynne Date: 23 Jul 07 - 03:36 AM A thing I once read in a Reader's Digest: "I always introduce him as "My first husband"...it keeps him on his toes" Love Lynne |

Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: Ebbie Date: 23 Jul 07 - 02:56 AM That's the spirit, kat! |

Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: katlaughing Date: 23 Jul 07 - 12:50 AM Intro yourself, step up and say "I'm his Better Half!"**bg** |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: Ebbie Date: 22 Jul 07 - 11:59 PM Well, I think not identifying one's relationship, at least to some degree, would cause more complications than necessary. Suppose Lorna Steele says, And Tammi Jones, this is Tom Johnson. Tom, Tammi. The evening wears on. Tammi finds herself smitten with Tom but she doesn't know if he is in a committed relationship... she's not sure whether she should ask Lorna. (When I haven't found any problems I have always created them.:~) |

Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: JennyO Date: 22 Jul 07 - 11:54 PM 100 :-) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: JennyO Date: 22 Jul 07 - 11:54 PM There are much worse titles than partner, which seems okay to me - or just the name is fine. There's the other half, the little woman, 'er indoors, trouble and strife, or even She Who Must Be Obeyed - to name a few. It seems there are more of these to describe women than men. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: Little Hawk Date: 22 Jul 07 - 09:22 PM Yeah, introduce them by name. Who needs the title? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: Alba Date: 22 Jul 07 - 09:00 PM Might it be simpler if folks just called each other by their names! "Hi this is Jane" and leave it like that. Why the need for the relationship description! Leave'em guessing I say. LOL Or perhaps at a social gathering folks that feel the need to explain the presence of the other human being beside them could do the intro's something like this... "Hello there, everyone, I would like to introduce you to my commitment, Rasputin..." Ah the language of Love. |

Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: TRUBRIT Date: 22 Jul 07 - 08:53 PM What is wrong with the term partner? I rather like it and when you are dealing with couples professionally it is a hell of a lot more tactful to say partner than to say -- are you married, or where's the ring or a bunch of other silly statements. I had my first 'date' with Tom on his 22nd birthday in December 1976 - I was 27. We were married in August = the age gap seemed huge at the time but now that I am nearly 58 and he is nearly 53 it seems to pale into insignificance........ I read all these threads about people who 'just knew ' they had found the right partner. I didn't know -- I was ready to settle and I thought he was one of the nicest human beings I had ever met......I have liked him every day for 30 years but I think it took me about 20 years to love him -- whatever that means and I am truly not sure. What I do know is I married the nicest, kindest man I ever met ..... our children adore him and he would never raise his hand in anger, or his voice, to them or to me......he shares my interests (not quite as passionate about folk music, but that is ok) and he shares my political beliefs ..... and I just darn well like him tremendously. Perhaps that is what love is? |

Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: JennieG Date: 22 Jul 07 - 08:42 PM If Himself ever refers to me as 'the wife' then I shall start calling him 'hubby' - that really makes me cringe. Cheers JennieG |

Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: Liz the Squeak Date: 22 Jul 07 - 07:01 PM I suspect that gay/lesbian people refer to their "significant others" as 'partner' to avoid snide and offensive comments by people who don't know they are gay/lesbian. If you're not 'out' to everyone, refering to your 'partner' as such is best, as it is assexual and won't immediately cause speculation. Manitas once introduced me as 'the wife', whilst I was standing next to him. He only did it the once. LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: John MacKenzie Date: 22 Jul 07 - 06:12 PM I think that now it has been excised,a dignified silence would best serve the interests of Mudcat, and all concerned. Giok |

Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: The Borchester Echo Date: 22 Jul 07 - 06:06 PM There's been quite a lot excised from this thread after it was drawn to my attention that my name had featured in it and it is now unclear why I entered into it in the first place, The Bonko person is peeved and petulant that his log-in to the fRoots forum was blocked (by Ian Anderson, fRoots Editor, not me) for being a total time-wasting, obnoxious, pain in the arse. A troll, in fact. He has started innumerable threads here today (to which many English musicians have responded expressing their anger at how he behaved on fRoots, but these too have been deleted. Here Mr Bonkers made a 'contribution' wondering whether I had a 'boyfriend or husband' (the relevance escapes me) and followed this up with a clearly homophobic remark. As it goes, I am not a lesbian, though this cannot be of any interest to anyone except prospective sexual partners with whom I would conduct appropriate discussions, though not here. The Bonkers person does not know me (though may by sight, I have no idea) and has thus no grounds for conducting a 'personal vendetta'. In view of the manner in which he has displayed extracts from my writings out of context which, although no longer here but which may have been glimpsed by some of you, I would suggest that you look at the fRoots link above and see the full arguments in context and see why Ian A took the action he did. |

Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: Little Hawk Date: 22 Jul 07 - 05:40 PM I'll volunteer as one of the "loner weirdos"... ;-) But I am NOT a "politically correct nutter", okay? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: John MacKenzie Date: 22 Jul 07 - 05:40 PM It's a forum where personal vendettas are not allowed, especially under the cover of anonymity. G. |

Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: katlaughing Date: 22 Jul 07 - 05:34 PM Don't know who you are or where you came from, don't really care. Just know, Uncle Boko, your kind of stirring the pot is not welcome. |

Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: Peace Date: 22 Jul 07 - 03:16 PM OY! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: The Borchester Echo Date: 22 Jul 07 - 02:28 PM As I said Mr/Ms Scooby, I was alerted to this thread by someone other than you since my name was mentioned. I don't think Peace is right in describing it as a 'personal attack' (gawd knows I'm used to them) but a piece of idiotic speculation. Discuss as much irrelevant crap as you like down here, but don't bring me into it, thenksvmuch. |

Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: Dave Earl Date: 22 Jul 07 - 02:12 PM "DO you? How? And what has it to do with you or anyone else wasting time scribbling on his thread?" Diane I did say that you would respond and so you have. I have exchanged posts several time with you and I have gained an impresion as to your relationship(s) or not. It is as you say none of my business and i deliberately made no comment other than to say I "think" I know. May well be wrong but I am only going by what you have said elsewhere and the way you have said it. End of contribution from me. Dave |

Subject: RE: BS: Boyfriend or husband From: The Borchester Echo Date: 22 Jul 07 - 02:01 PM I rarely look below the line but my attention has been drawn to this ridiculously irrelevant thread (though no more so than most others, it seems). As it happens I think I know the answer to the question DO you? How? And what has it to do with you or anyone else wasting time scribbling on his thread? |
