Absolute all -time favorite song is "Little Brown Jug" recorded by the 1938 Glenn Miller Orchestra
Lyrics? - too many to select even a few
Absolute all time favorite piece of music is the orchestral version of Pictures at An Exhibition
Favorite organ work is a toss-up between Prelude and Fugue in D Minor - JS Bach, and Perpetuum Molbile, by Caesar Frank
Mazza - YES!Sissyphus! Thank you!
@sprite - You may call me anything you like, Your Royal Spriteness. (except I'd really prefer you not call me late for dinner)
I can understand and forgive the first scenario. Inhibitions are down, judgment is impaired, the heat of the moment, etc.
The second, however, goes to the very core reasons for being in a committed relationship. IF it is as described, the relationship has already failed. It's obvious that the person is getting something from the online experience that isn't happening at home, and there is lack of open and honest communication in the real-life relationship..
Would it hurt more than the one-night stand? That's hard to say. Sometimes, when faced with the reality of a failed relationship, as with death after a prolonged illness, we are as much relieved as aggrieved.
I don't know. A lot. Who bothers to keep count?
If race is important to you - for any reason - you are a racist. Accept it and move on.
Now - as to the original question - skin color is the LAST thing I see, so I have no feelings one way or the other about interracial sex.
Incidentally, I am not a big fan of the military, but one thing they WILL teach you is there are only eight races: A pos, A neg, B pos, B neg, AB pos, AB neg, and O pos and neg.
I haven't any phobias. I do get a little nervous whenever I see a black car with blacked-out windows, though. As someone else said, I'm not fond of flying lead.
I dislike venomous creatures, and generally treat them with a healthy dose of respect.
Around here, the most dangerous ones (other than people, of course) are copperhead snakes, white faced hornets, black widow spiders, and wolf spiders. We have Timber and Eastern Diamondback rattle snakes, but they generally let you know where they are before you step on them, so they don't bother me so much. When I find venomous creatures in the house, or living where I am likely to frequent, I usually do my best to wipe them out. In the wild, I generally push the snakes away with a long stick, and shoo the spiders and stinging insects away with whatever is handy.
It is always better to be overdressed - even for working outdoors. I used to work with a brick layer who wore long-sleeved shirts year 'round. He said, "You can always remove a layer, roll up sleeves, or if at a social function loosen or remove a tie, etc. But if you don't have those things, you can't put them on."
I think MLK would have seen those signs as indications of the truth in the Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Ed.

But what they didn't ask is the most important question: Can you ever put anything ahead of music as the most important thing in your life?
My score would have dropped to zero if I answered that question honestly - because I'd have to say no.
I have a special Lushie friend, with whom I have probably shared more intimacies than with anyone else, ever, in my entire life (and I've been married three times, so there aren't many secrets, overall). But one of the things we established very early on was that there was no exclusivity. So, no, I am not jealous at all. Do I wish I could be "the one"? OF course; we all do, but I also realize my limitations. Dirty Harry was not telling me anything new.
And I disagree with the previous poster. I believe that the deeper you connect with someone, the lesser the likelihood of jealousy. I find when I have a deeper connection with someone, I tend to put that person further and further ahead of myself. How could I be jealous, if she is doing what makes her happy? I may be disappointed that I cannot provide whatever it is she needs, but am I jealous? No. If anything, I am envious of whoever can fulfill that need. And that envy is always tempered with a happiness for her, that she has found that person..
When I'm sick? Not only no, but HELL NO! I know that I am on the mend, when I am again interested in sex.
NEVER say "meanwhile"
I often change location, time, or POV, by using dialogue which is obviously and distinctly that of a different character. I have also been known to us a long series of periods, but, as someone here said, it is always better if you can set then break in writing instead of using punctuation alone.
ON the other hand, Meanwhile DOES have it's place:

MY specialty dark rum gimlet
Dark Rum Gimlet
In an 8oz highball glass:
½ oz. Roses’ Lime Juice
2 Oz Cruzan Black Strap Rum (Or Gosling's or Black Seal, but they haven't as much flavor)
Fill with ice cubes (whole - not crushed)
Stir slightly, (I push the cubes around with a fingertip, which I then lick off)
Top off with as much chilled Schweppes tonic Water as will fill the glass.
Stir (gently!!! - you don't want to spill or waste any) until the tonic water goers flat.
Sip and enjoy!
LORD! And I thought it was bad when it got above twenty!

There is good music in nearly all genres, I think, but what makes it "good " is honesty. That is to say, if the song is a reggae piece, the artist shouldn't try to make it pop. if it is punk, don't try to turn it into skye or rap, or some other medium. But, and here's where honesty plays into it, if you are gonna steal a song from another genre, then don't screw around. Go for the whole caboodle. The best examples I can think of off hand in my current semi-inebriated state of mind are Emerson Lake and Palmer doing Pictures at an Exhibition, and Jimmy Smith doing Peter and The Wolf. In other words, make a musical statement; don't try to please everyone. Because when you do that, all you are is "elevator" or "dentist office" music.
