Leave it to TheBlonde! Yes, that can be a big deal-breaker for a lot of women. You can only go so long faking it. Then, sex becomes more of a chore, and not the enjoyable experience that it should be. I speak from experience. She's NEVER faked it. Never had to. When she wants to, she does. At least we got that goin for us

QUOTE (TheBlonde @ Oct 11 2010, 03:33 PM) QUOTE (briremo @ Oct 11 2010, 03:16 PM) and she's too busy to cheat on me And there, Sleepless, I think you may have answered your own question. She's mentally & physically exhausted. Do you have children? Does your wife work outside of the home? Does your attempt at rubbing her neck or feet typically result in your hands wandering elsewhere? Or do you give her the massage and then go about your own business? You may shower her with a million compliments each day, but does SHE feel that way about herself? And when the deed does happen...is she getting "her's"? If your answer is yes, are you sure that she is? (There's no shame in admitting that she may not be...it took my hubby 10 years to find the right buttons to push and he wasn't a virgin when we met.) Yes we have early teen boys but they're good and stress free for the most part. She does work, as a matter of fact that's her seconday pursuit, kids being 1st. But I work as much, (yes I know, I'm a guy) and find myself "In The Mood" quite bit regardless of how tired I am, or how much stress I'm under. Truthfully I can say she looks for ways to avoid intitmacy through work. her laptop has become her chastity belt Have we had financial issues, sure, we're both self employed. So we've insanely good years and the economy has pinched, but all the bills are paid...and I'm still honry. Does she always come away satisfied? . But that's her choice, whenever she does want the experience, we make it happen together. She just has a "I only need it once a month" attitude. It's almost like the worst thing I can do is take her out for a nice dinner and arrange for the kids to go on sleep overs because then she assumes I want "it" even if I'm happy just to have some snuggle time. So the obligatory-sex ensues. Hey, I'm not gonna pass it up! But, I feel like I get it so rarely and she feels like I all ever do is talk about sex because once a week i get that look in my eyes, hoping I've waited long enough for her to be OK with it so I'm not pressuring her. Ugh, its so much work just to keep from expressing my desires. OK, yes, she has gained a little weight she's 5'10" and has gone from 135 to 160, but obviously that has not curtailed by desires. would I like her to lose weight, sure, but I never discuss it. I do think she's unhappy with her body. You know, it's not so much that we don't have SEX often, it really boils down to the fact that she shuns intimacy so we can never get to the point where it just happens as a natural progression. It has to be an item on her check list. IDK, here I am 47, married 19 years, I have had other opportunities which I've rejected and I'm starting to think that I need some validation that I'm acceptable to her. It sucks going around feeling like you repulse your spouse when others show interest. I won't stray because I can't betray someone like that (I could never survive it) but I also need her to change...and I hoenstly don't think that's gonna happen.

Hey Gals! I'm asking for your help here. My dear wife just has no interest in 'getting together' anymore. Makes me sad. I'm a happy and positive guy, I always tell her she looks great, I kiss her and tell her I love her , I rub her neck or her feet every night, I help around the house and do all the husbandly thing dutifully and (usuually) happily, but no matter what I do, she's too tired, too much on her mind, or just doesn't care about anything romantic. I stay in shape, work out almost daily, so I'm not some disgusting toad. you can click on my profile to see a pic if you like. I try to make things 'fun' in the romance department but it always falls 0n deaf ears or disinterest. What can I do? It's driving me crazy! Whenever I get close and 'snuggly' she goes "Oh ...you want sex", which takes all the fun out of anything. It's like I just asked her to take out the trash or clean the gutters! Then she says "tonight honey", but tonight never comes, or at least fast enough for me. Never cheated on my beautiful bride, and she's too busy to cheat on me so I'm doubly perplexed. Help ladies. What can I do! Signed Sleepless in Xanadu

QUOTE (rebelyank @ Oct 5 2010, 08:27 AM) My husband and I took our 11 and 14 year old sons to this tour (in San Francisco) because we're all major fans. It wasn't like we dragged them them there and they didn't know a thing. We happened to end up in a really heavy smoking area. Some people were acting crazy. But it was a very teachable moment for us. We tried to show them how not to focus on stuff like that and remember the reason you're there -- to see the greatest band in the world. Just tune everything else out and lock into the music! While Rush and Pink Floyd among others have a major drug culture following, there are many of us who enjoy them sober. As long as you're not pushing your own agenda (either way) I don't have a problem with either side of it. we too brought our 12 and 14 year old boys. although it wasnt continuous, the pot smoke was pretty heavy at times. As a former frequent user, I get it. There are times I think about lighting up and putting Zanadu and the headphones, but I'm over that now. I don;t think its any more obnoxious than a cigarrette. It became a good time for me to tell the kids, "that's what pot smells like." The good news is the boys were VERY bothered by the weed and IMO will not be interested in trying it going forward. THANKS POT HEADS!

we had the bast time ever. LVS and WM were un-be-leivable. I'm serious, I have rarely seen tham that good. My 14 year old son was in awe! Thanks for the best time ever guys!

I think it was Eastwood's Bronco Billy He and Sandra Locke were laying in bed after sex and she says "were you ever married?" CE: yep, i was married once SL: what happened? CE: I caught her in bed in with my best friend SL: OMG, what did you do? CE: I shot her SL: WHat? Really? What about him? You shoot him too? CE: No SL: Why not? CE He's my best friend!

QUOTE (D3strukt @ Sep 28 2010, 08:00 AM) I was going to go. But unfortunately, it's pretty far, 3 hour drive, from Orlando. It suck! Sorry, Rush, I want to see you badly. PSH, I live in Orlando, Longwood actually...AND WE'RE GOING!

we'll be there. me plus 3. wife and two boys 12 & 14. I like the earlier idea of meeting at Duffy's on Okeechobee Blvd. Only a couple miles from the venue and the best chicken wings in South FL. Their motto is Coldest Beer, Best Burgers. Shoot for 4PM outta there by 5:30-6:00.

I agree with Monkey boy, Geddy's voice is sailing south. It's wavering and cracking and ignoring it for nostalgia's sake is whistling past the microphone. I love the man too, but it is what is. And it is a 60 year old vocal chords trying to hit notes that were incredibly high to begin with. Can't wait for the WPB show!

QUOTE (The Sphere @ Sep 9 2010, 07:35 AM) That's what I'm talking about! Thanks ENA - I'll check it out! Ybor is a fun night on the town. lots of local flavor tyoe bars that welcome strangers. No chains. Mons Venus if youre into throwing mounds of cash at big boobies

I have given up on him. unless it gets rave reviews.

Dont hold your breath. I found the door at SRO's team to be shut quite tightly despite our own efforts. I won't go into details. They did respond though.

another one

for the guy looking for inception info

there are two threads on Inception I beleive. One started by moi.

I'd like to know what kind of radio station is playing Caravan.Is this a classic rock station or one of the "new rock" stations. Last RUSH tune I heard was Fly By Night and Limilight within a couple hours of each other. Few days ago. Classic rock statio here in Orlando

I'd contact the local AG. they love to take on crap like this. In FL we have FDLE, Florida Department of Law Enforcement. They handle scams like this as well as other big crimes like money laundering, racketeering etc. If you have an organization like this in CO, I'd call and ask for an investigator and express your concerns. Don't even bother with the locals.

what a bunch of friggin morons. who can listen to that crap. I mean, is that supposed to be music? Really? what do you expect when you scream a bunch of obscenities at a mass of alchohol fueled maniacs? I'm gonna put in my dentures, have a glass of prune juice and pull my britches up past my belly button now. Goddamn crazy kids.

QUOTE (Your_Lion @ Aug 15 2010, 03:30 PM) Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you. If I went 'round sayin' I was Emperor, just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away. Look, I've had enough of this, now go get your master! Who is he to be ordering us around? (Starts shaking the guy) I demand you get your master. Oh, now we see the violence inherent in the system NOW WE SEE THE VIOLENCE INHERENT IN THE SYSTEM! Help! Help! I'm being repressed! NOTE: My 14 year old son was in summer band camp and I went to pick him up. As I was rounding the corner in the hall I hear about 20 kids repeating all these lines and more from MP's HG. I was smiling so deep.

Thinking about it now, security should have done something before it got out of hand.

A great story, and very well scribed. A talent I appreciate. It must've been a great disappointment to be a part of this disturbance, but you overcame and enjoyed. No small thanks to the pros on stage and off. Cheers!

I'm going with Gary Oldman and Ed Norton too. James Woods is amazing, a little over the top sometimes but a cool cat for sure. I think Nicole Kidman is superior as well. Meryl Streep in Julie and Julia. Oh Keanu Reeves and Kevin Costner...

Let's see, funny first time RUSH concert stories...hmmmm...oh, yes, I was tear-gassed when the security people at the gates wouldn't let anyone and a bunch of yay-hoos started climbing the fence. I screamed in agony for over an hour and threw up several times. Ahhh, those were the days. I think that was the moving pictures tour if I'm not mistaken... Ray? You were there right?
