(Yeah, that's the ticket... :-) )

14. one of the guys I used to work with told me that about his imaginary girlfriends during his time

in prison. for the simple possession of drugs, the last thing someone should have to spend time for. IMHO

18. I thought he might chime in

Rambis is my better half. I thought he might reply to your OP, but he must be swamped today.

He's running for City Council of our tiny town, and they have a candidate forum tonight.
*cross your fingers for him!*

Cathandler's been a member for about 1.5 years; I've been a member since around May of 2003 -- I think I should win some kind of "low post" award.

11. Hi!

My SO is tom_servo, but he seldom posts and tends to hang out in the Science and Environment forums. We've both been reading DU since shortly after 9/11, but stopped lurking and became more active members after the invasion of Iraq in 2003 because we needed some like-minded, intelligent discourse.

I've opted for a quieter life now near Ottawa. But I still remember the magic of downtown when I was a kid in the '60s.

Very beautiful at this time of year, unless you're having the same drab fall we're having down this way.

30. I Have No "Life Partner".

I'd just like to say, as a gay man, and for the record, I DETEST the term "Life Partner". Just because we're not legally allowed to get married almost anywhere doesn't mean we have to buy into that crap and create different terminology. If I ever DO settle down, you can call my "Life Partner" my spouse, or, better yet, my husband. That's what he'll be to me, no matter what any number of Republican (or Democratic, for that matter) assholes think about it.

Sorry for the rant: this is just a huge pet peeve for me. I know you meant no offense. Please carry on.

33. You'll get no argument from me.

I would prefer the same term for everyone, too.

No, not civil unions and we're all 'life partners' ..... but rather, we're all *married* are either husbands or wives. No weasel words.

Sadly, that's not the case yet ...... but we press on. I'm with you. :hug:

40. I still hear the term "Life Partner" here in Canada

Even though same-sex marriage is completely legal.

Even though the law has changed and people accept those changes, the language has yet to fully catch up.
