AS Christine's original First Lieutenant, I will throw out that while politics has always been here in some form, and often discussed with great intensity, there was also a great deal of poetry and personal discussion, and a wide variety of bizarre and wondrous topics-- mostly due to CGB's eclectic reading habits and near photographic memory for strange facts. There was nothing she wouldn't throw out here. We have dissected marriage, extramarital affairs, cyber affairs, childrearing, breastfeeding, family beds, fantasies of all sorts, recipes, childhoods, music, poetry..But polarize we did, and often. I remember one thread stopper-- when she decided to ask if we found unshaved armpits sexy. SHe has a rare gift for getting things going in many directions, which is why Feelings has been the success it is. |
