Public Displays of Affection

[Diamondback]

Oh Lizzie ... say it ain't so..... only at the end of every World War???? lol

Like I said, in my book anytime you come home from a life-and death situation (especially a tour in a war-zone), that buys you a bit of slack in my book. (That may just be because my idea of a Conquering Hero's Welcome Home isn't a tickertape, but rather the leading lady of my life* throwing her arms around me as soon as I'm off the plane...)
*Should anyone ever fill the role, that is...

Here's hoping that behind closed doors, Mainers are having earth-shakingly, toe-curlingly great sex.

When I got home from Iraq, my sister was waiting for me at the airport, waving an American flag. It was a great moment, but she was hardly the female needed for a testosterone-induced hug and kiss. Oh, well, maybe next time...What am I saying! I ain't doing another hitch! ...

It's OK at the end of every World War.

man...

I guess I better tell my little boy to stop hugging me or maybe I should change my avatar.

Note that elsewhere at FL there was a thread posting a quiz that was supposed to tell how good a husband was.

A hubby got bonus points for giving his wife "movie kisses" rather than "a peck on the cheek."

Meh. Personally, I'd rather have a good pastrami sandwich.

 

[olive bleu]

Thanks Lizzie. I just spilled coffee all over my keyboard.

 

[Story]

I guess I'd vote sex over violence, as well.

I think we need MORE sax and violins on TV! Bring back Ed Sullivan!

What am I saying! I ain't doing another hitch! ...

Amen to that one.

Too many variables in this...

Bad pastrami might be worse then some....

Good pastrami might totally eclipse others.......


and a whole bunch in between where the meat might not be better then the meat.....

Aww, what a wonderful picture So passionate.

As said, there is a definite line when it comes to PDA... Theres the kind that makes you go "aww," and the kind that makes you want to fork out your eyeballs.

I think there was a thread on this that is now closed.

Yes, this has happened to me several times I have learned now about searching for topics which have been previously posted and will make use of it. Still, I hope you will be understanding of the honest mistakes of a well-meaning neophyte. Thanks.

I grew up in a culture where it just wasn't done. No questions asked, it just wasn't done. Even today, when I see people all clingy-feely in the street, I know they aren't from around here.

It's one of those things I just deal with, though -- like the dreadful spectacle of grown men walking the streets in short pants, it's one of those unspeakable things that's just part and parcel of the modern world, and I just mind my own business and look the other way.

I appreciate your comments and feelings. I grew up in a small city as well and as you say, it "simply wasn't done". I really miss that code, that overlay of politesse ( based on a common understanding of propriety) that seems to have "gone with the wind". I also agree with your repudiation of grown men wearing short pants in public. There appears to be a nascent phenomenon of supposed "mature" adults dressing and acting like children. I call it the cult of infantilism. I wonder if it is a global aberration or only a local problem.

I agree, there are nuances.
