It put me in an uncomfortable position, indeed.

If I may offer my two cents on that one. I have a friend who started really taking issue with the fact that during the football season her husband spends what she feels is an inordinate amount of time watching football, and working on his fantasy football teams. I'm not sure why she came to me for sympathy...

I told her that she should only be allowed to ask him to reduce his time spent on sports if she was willing to allow him to critique her in some fashion and for her then to put in an honest effort at improvement. My idea was really to just get her to back off and leave the poor guy to his football, but she reported back and said that it actually worked.

I hope your advice didn't end up making her feel like a whore.

Hilarious photshop job. Waters, did you do that?

I would still take her in a heartbeat. Great smile.

I think she's aging quite well.

Tell your friend that I have some very important advice for her about how to get her husband to abandon his silly games. Unless I hear from you to the contrary I'll assume she doesn't want to hear it.

It makes me laugh, but I prefer the original.

I have some thoughts on this matter...that I do not think have already been expressed. Does anyone care though, or have we moved along to other things? I'm not going to waste my time and energy if this thread has lost everyone's interest.

There were complaints about the age-appropriateness of some of the avatars.
