The amount of sex doesn't matter so long as everyone involved in the relationship is okay with that. If one person wants it and another doesn't then there is a problem. The question is, what do you want to do about the problem? Cheating is never good because there is lying involved. But will the partner let you go out and satisfy needs elsewhere? Would you want to? Personally I just think it's wrong for a partner to say "I'm not going to have sex with you, and neither can anyone else." That's just not fair. Is this a situation in which counseling would be beneficial? I'm just thinking out loud here.

I think that yes, that is one very real possibility. It could also be that he has some other issues (childhood trauma, history of sexual abuse, etc.) that could be resulting in intimacy problems. Whatever the case, posting about personal problems like that is NOT the way to make things better. They really need to talk, both with each other and with a marriage counselor. My husband and I have been together about a dozen years. After about 5-6 years we decided to see a marriage counselor. Nothing was "wrong" between us, but rather, but didn't want there to be anything wrong. So for a year or two we met weekly with a therapist and we both realized that we each had little things that was bugging us about the other. Counseling helped us get that stuff out into the open and deal with it before it became an issue. I highly recommend it. Damn you guys sound healthy.... :cheers: Our relationship is certainly stronger now than it was back then, but that's probably also due to more water under the bridge :) Counseling has helped us in the way we deal with things, and that's really important. Now if we're mad at one another we recognize it and sit down and talk (not argue!), whereas back then there would have been grumpiness and holding grudges and stuff.

I thought I saw Hemispheres mentioned a lot in this thread so I was bored and decided to tally up the albums people chose. I tallied only the studio albums from people who chose one fave: Hemispheres: 7 AFTK: 5 Permanent Waves: 4 2112: 3 Clockwork Angels: 2 Power Windows: 2 Caress of Steel: 1 Moving Pictures: 1 Test for Echo: 1 I thought this was interesting because the top four albums were recorded in the 70s, and Moving Pictures, which is supposed to be one of their most popular albums, only got one vote.

Think of recovery as a time when you're supposed to be lazy and waste time online and listen to music. You don't have to feel guilty about not exercising or going to work or whatever. It's a mini-vacation! :banana:

I find it interesting how many people first heard Rush on the radio (even back in the 70s or early 80s). In the 70s I listened to a lot of commercial radio and I don't remember ever hearing Rush mentioned. Come the 80s I learned there is so much great music that doesn't get airplay and didn't listen as much, but I still never heard Rush (and by then they were my favourite band, so I would have remembered hearing them). And I didn't grow up in the boonies; I was in the suburb of a major city.

It would have been at my boyfriend's house, at age 16. We had just started dating and he played me Permanent Waves. I got rid of the bf a long time ago, but Rush is still in my life :)

I thought you'd been quiet recently but I didn't realize this was the reason :o Glad the surgery went well and best wishes for a speedy recovery!

I'm not sure if I've heard that song since high school! It used to be my favourite AC/DC song. Yum! I've been on a big Nevermore kick the past couple of months, and get a kick out of seeing them on other people's playlists.

That's a great story!

I can't believe that anyone thought for one hot second that they would do this. I didn't say I thought they were going to do it; I said I was hoping they would.

When I heard they were going to be reengineering the first album I was really hoping they would surprise us by re-recording it with Neil on drums. It wouldn't take much time—the material is already written, they'd be doing a minimum of overdubs and such, just be in & out of the studio in a week. They are all much better musicians than they were 40 years ago, and while they'd be playing the same notes it would still sound different. I would love to hear that album!

Not in my book! There are at least 3 or 4 studio albums below this one imho.

I don't like it, but I wouldn't punch the tickler. Although sometimes the circumstances connected with the tickling are fun!

I think it was unfortunate that "In A Big Country" became the popular song as it's the only song of theirs most people know. And not only is it not very good, it's also a bit different than the rest of the album. Other than that song this is a really great album. "Rain" is beautiful. It's a bit gloomy without being sad, just like a rainy day.

We all have our all-time favourite bands, albums, and songs. But sometimes there is a song that you like so much, right now, that you can't get enough of it. (Personally, I love that feeling when I just want to listen to something more more MORE!) My current favourite song is Nevermore's Sentient 6. My favourite part is from about 4:59 to the end of the song :haz: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2e832DJkzQ

You know Alex would just turn it into comedy hour.

It's a Rush fan convention: http://www.rushcon.org/

You'll go wheeling through the galaxies? (The Danforth & Pape people are geniuses for thinking up that design.)

That's where we differ. I LOVE it when an album is an hour or so of music (so long as it's good, and not filler). I don't want to be dragged back to the days of vinyl-length albums.

I voted where I could. There are some albums where I don't like any songs :(

I can never remember which song is on which album, they are so similar. Which is not a problem, they are both excellent albums!

I'm quite confident that, over time, I could fill a 160 gig. They're just so expensive! Lol I currently have 157.26 GB in my iTunes. I don't bother copying it all over to my iPod—I just keep 50 or so albums on there at a time, so I don't lose track of what I want to listen to.
