Re: The Body Keeps the Score (book)

I haven't heard of those titles, Xeno. You know it could be helpful to other readers/lurkers to see this conversation however, I don't think I can answer your questions specifically here. Just quickly, I'd say that the gentleman may lack insight regarding PTSD. Would you mind if I messaged you? I c...

Re: The Body Keeps the Score (book)

Well now you've got me curious, is the gentleman in you story asking for the book recommendation directly, or are you hoping that sharing the book will kick-start his interest? My take might be different depending on if they're acknowledging they need to get educated and examine their behaviors for ...

Re: The Body Keeps the Score (book)

And, with a single post, it seems that I shat all over your thread and made it so that no one else will venture an opinion. My apologies, Jersey Girl. Perhaps if you didn't do such a good job, you'd have left some room for the rest of us. As to The Body Keeps Score , it has been a hot minute since ...

Re: Washer Dryer preference

Do people in North America use condensing dryers? These are models that don't vent their hot, damp air to outdoors, but instead let it cool in a radiator to condense out the water into a little tank. If the tank is full, the dryer will show a warning light and not run, so you normally empty the tan...

Re: Washer Dryer preference

We're a Speed Queen house 'round these parts. I was originally turned on to them by an appliance repairman buddy as the only brand he'd buy anymore. I don't think you can beat them for quality, reliability, or repairability. They don't make them with a lot of the current bells and whistles but hones...

Re: Is it okay to lie to your spouse?

My husband lied to me for 10 years. It still bothers me but what can I do? He doesn't care. I'm very sorry to hear that. Trust is such a vital part of that relationship I imagine that makes things challenging. Overall, I think there’s an intimate level of trust involved in marriage, which requires ...

Re: Is it okay to lie to your spouse?

I think specific scenarios would be needed to fully nail down my answer but generally I think I'm firmly in the "no" camp. The term lie in the question is pretty loaded. I'd say I generally assume that a lie comes with some malicious intent. Sure there are topics or things I might want to put off di...

Re: Just be a guy for 5 seconds, okay?

What about hair color? Do you guys have an opinion about natural vs artificial color? What if your female loved one decided to make her hair pink and purple. Would you be on board with that? What about hair extensions. What if you dated a woman who had long hair only to find out that it wasn't hers...

Re: Just be a guy for 5 seconds, okay?

I'm curious if there isn't some chicken/egg thing going on here. Every bit of media I consumed as a young lad jammed my brain full of women that were otherwise desirable but also had long hair. Had I been raised in a world that kept everything else the same but all those women had short hair, would ...

Re: Way Off-Topic: Question for RPGamers

Hey xeno, good to hear from you. I mentioned up thread I have a new player in our work campaign who had no D&D experience but is fun to have in the game. His only experience was having played BG3 and listened to an actual play. That seems to have given him an intro to the mechanics and a sense of h...
