Re: openly showing affection

[Guest guest]

Zena, Bruce, et all, To this day, my

grown children ( 28,34,37) still yell " Yuck..kissing in the kitchen"

when Mike and I hug and kiss in front of them in the kitchen!!! I

guess it's just TMI for them..

..But we've always shown affection to each other and to them and other

family members. How else will a child

know that this positive behavior is necessary for life? Yes, I got a

bit serious here.

Zena, I know my parents did it...my room

was next to theirs!!! Again, Another TMI moment!

[Guest guest]

I agree completely with you. I learned thoughts and intelligence and

performance were important, not emotions and feelings and affection

and passion.

If you and Mike make out in a restaurant line you'll be criticized

more than if you argue and call each other stupid.

Running naked through a store will get you in far more trouble than

cursing the clerk out for making a mistake.

People get more offended by the cut of a blouse or the length of a

skirt than by the parents demeaning their kids in the store or

ignoring their kids who are running wild and may get hurt in the

grocery parking lot.

Janet 's Nipplegate gets TiVo'd and fines against the networks

more than the shows of brutality and violence.

I know for most of us dating may have been a while, but what do you

discuss on a first date? Favorite foods, colors, movies, tv shows.

And even then you nod, oh I agree when you don't. We learn

superficial aspects of people but nothing about their inner selves.

Even if you meet someone and feel something you're scared to express

it first.

We're only a little better than the times in which a lady never

called a man.

And isn't it good to know your parents did it? I can't think of

anything better than to go look in your 75 year old parents medicine

cabinet for aspirin and see your dads Viagra.

Doctors are told to be detached. Well, the best ones I've known, you

knew they cared. And, when they couldn't solve it you saw their

concern. You were comforted that they were going to keep trying.

Sher has Rosebud and I have my bears and we're both proud. And even

though I am not the custodial parent, if either kitty is sick I worry

greatly. And, yes, I'll cry over a sad movie or an especially

sensitive good one.

Use to drive me crazy that companies equated dress shirt, suit, and

tie with professionalism over treatment of employees and job

performance.
