That is not what I hear, but if I am wrong I stand corrected. You would be surprised how many of them are out there in entertainment and in politics. There are alot of closet cases those careers would be destroyed if they came out./Just Asking - seoul62.........

When I look at these guys, there is always doubt. When you look at me, you know I’m straight, there is no doubt.

I must have missed a post, lol.

Ooooh I KNOW they’re straight.

See the difference is, they’re fantasies. Well, part of my fantasies anyway ;) They’re not real to me. They’re characters in a tv show who happen to be hot, alpha males. For all I know, in real life, they’re liberal weenies.

And my husband swears they’re gay. He’s so mean. ;)

I’m well aware of the rumors about Hugh. The rumors started when he played Peter Allen on Broadway. They have been dogging him ever since. From folks I’ve corresponded with in Australia, the Aussies just laugh at the rumors as those who know and have met Hugh say he is a dedicated, loving husband and father.

Listen to your husband. Most male actors are homosexuals. They don’t advertise because it’s a career killer.

Oh for goodness sakes! Josh Holloway and James Lafferty are not homos. They better not be or I’ll be so disappointed :(

From the husband’s chart, number 9. ‘Reads newspaper, books or magazines aloud to wife.’

Didn’t women know how to read in the 30’s? It drives me nuts when dh reads something aloud to me. I’d rather he e-mail a link or something so I can read it on my own. That’s just stupid!

I would have survived as a 1930’s wife. I’ve always thought I was a little old-fashioned. Not quite this old-fashioned, though! Why darn socks when you can buy new ones? ;0)

Dr Crane deducts points from wives who are back seat drivers and women who squeeze toothpaste from the top of the tube – two habits that continue to undermine relationships today.

This guy needs to get a life and do something more productive to justify his pay schedule.

Today is my 20th of being married to my honey and the only problem I've had, was HOW did she put up with my shit all of those years.

LOL! My husband doesn’t do it but my kids do. Drives me nuts. Just let me read the damn thing already. I don’t know what darn socks means. I’m pretty sure I don’t it.

27 points, but that’s only the first page.

I’m pretty sure I don’t it.

Your other skills more than compensate for that.

Washing the top of the milk bottle...and shampooing and manicuring the hubbster?

I think this 1939 Dr. Crane is like the Macy's psychologist...you know, the one that didn't believe Kris Kringle was Santa...and had to be fired by Maureen O'Hara.

I was sorta hoping for more details so I didn’t have to read back. I didn’t add up points, just posted the number of the questions I got demerits for. And I didn’t include the items I had no clue about or didn’t apply. For example, hose with seams?

Maybe I should update the quiz to today’s standards.

ROTFLMAO! I did get points for not waiting until he was half asleep to go to bed - problem here is he’s a nightowl or working late, lol. Got points off for profanity and drinking and wearing pajamas while cooking breakfast and not having dinner done on time. And a slew of other things. I should take the merit side of the test to offset the demerit part.

That would be great and posting a picture of Sawyer wouldn’t hurt either.
