wish we could edit!! (We used to be able to...what's up with that anyhow? Can we at least get an explanation? Thanks!)



yes I'd have them leave if they were too DISrespectful...disruptive, etc...but I don't have a grandchild I'd be dislodging...like you

and when I said I don't want my girls to feel wrong b/c they are gay, "but only one..."and that I did not see it as a sin "for one"

I mean I'm not so sure about one of them being gay and, however I do not think it's a sin to be gay...


but I don't want to get bogged down in who is what. I do find it interesting about the whole label thing.

I played softball in high school and college and sure, half the team was gay. But at our 20 year reunion, half of those "gay women" were married to men and had kids. Are they all in denial and repressed?

Might some of it have been experimentation back then? Or bisexuality and then a choice of mate was made?

But I am NOT ALLOWED to say that in my home,

b/c my d's feel very insulted by it. So I keep it to myself and attend some PFLAGG meetings.

Don't know where you are in your journey with that issue, as you barely mentioned it.

But I Found PFLAGG pretty understanding of all our stages and not judgemental. I felt at ease saying "I'm embarrassed to say I'm embarrassed"...they got it.


Did your wife resist your d being gay before she decided on her new religion, or after?

was that an issue for you guys? Did she blame you? Herself?

Evil friends?

Anyhow, good luck!

Your words and tone really suggest a man who is bravely going forward with strength and dignity.

So now we need those GAL things.

BTW I did a tandem jump for my 50th. When I heard how safe it was (my guy was a former Navy SEAL)

I was a tad disappointed too. Where is the risk??

but then he heard I was a bit of a daredevil so he asked if he could "make the jump a little more exciting" so of course i said YES...

we leaped out backwards and upside down...

complete chaos and fun and wind...and then POOFFFF!!

the chute opened and I felt a wonderful serenity. I want to get certified to jump on my own and at night.

Here near the coast of California, I saw farmland and cities and ocean and mountains...like I imagine we see when we are no longer bound by our bodies...I LOVED IT.

wonderful!
