PrP, thank you! I had no idea it was possible to add that. What a delightful surprise. šš Not sure I see the opinion button but I will refresh. š¤š¼
Reminds me of how much I miss your blog.
Thank you. I miss it too. It was a lot of work (I’m sure PrP can attest to that:) but I loved it. Happy that there is this forum, thanks to PrP.
Many Americans cannot locate Guam on a map. Legally, however, a cyberattack on Guam is equivalent to an attack on Silicon Valley. Guam, with a population of nearly 154,000, is indistinguishable from the 50 states for the purposes of defense under international and domestic law. It would also be vital to US military operations in any conflict over Taiwan. The Guam Defense System, the defense architecture surrounding Guam and the Mariana Island Chain, is the top homeland defense priority of the current commander of the US Indo-Pacific Command, Admiral John Aquilino. Guam contains the United Statesā largest refueling and armament stations in the first and second island chains that provide lines of defense against China. The 2023 National Defense Authorization Act also announced $1.4 billion for defense projects in Guam, and the U.S. Marine Corps is building its first new base in 72 years there. Guam has among the highest military recruitment levels in the United States. In recognition of Guamās military importance, China calls its DF-26 intermediate ballistic missile, which has a 2500-mile firing range, āthe Guam Killer.ā

PrP, Iām asking you this, but I will take an answer from anyone who can help. I got married to my husband when I was 19. He told me that he was 23 at the time, but I found out after the marriage that he was 30. Now I am 30 and he is 41. I am not upset by his lie because frankly he looked younger than me when we got married 11 years ago.
My problem is I discovered that I was bisexual. I havenāt held hands with a female romantically much less kissed one, but I know that I desire women. I am very attractive and I have been hit upon by several of my colleagues male and female. I am a doctor who works in a very large hospital. I just finished my residency requirements for the field of medicine that I am practicing. My question is do I tell my husband that I am bisexual? I have no desire to end the marriage. He is a wonderful parter and he comes from a very wealthy, Christian family. They are die hard republicans and hate anything non heterosexual. He is their only child and they dolt upon him. Although, he doesnāt have a profession or even a job, he has been very supportive of me. He has paid for everything in our marriage including several hundred thousand dollars for my education. Not that he misses it since his father gave him more than a billion dollars in several trust funds that began to pay when he turned 25. I didnāt know that he had money when we got married. He actually moved in with me when I was 17 and we shared the rent and household expenses until we got married two years later. Then he told me that he had borrowed a large sum of money so that I wouldnāt have to get a student loan to continue my education. He paid off my two years of college debt. I graduated two years early and entered medical school right away. He has been a darling and I donāt want to hurt him, but I feel that I am being dishonest by not telling him who I really am. I never suspected that I was bisexual until about 3 years ago. I was in rotation when I discovered how sexually excited I got when I was examining a beautiful woman. I have never acted upon my urges but they are there.
imagine that you are in his shoes. No one will know the relationship you guys have every relationship is different if youāre OK with it, then it might be OK with him too.
Just an opinion
Nader makes a lot of sense.
If you have no intention of violating your marriage vows, why stir the pot of jealousy.

One little-known historical event that had far-reaching consequences and changed the course of history was the Battle of Talas in 751 CE. This battle took place between the Abbasid Caliphate and the Tang Dynasty of China, in what is now modern-day Kyrgyzstan.
The Battle of Talas was significant for several reasons. First, it marked the first military conflict between the Arab-Muslim world and China. Second, it led to the spread of papermaking technology from China to the Islamic world, which would eventually make its way to Europe and significantly impact the course of human history.
During the battle, the Tang Dynasty was defeated by the Abbasid Caliphate, and as a result, the Chinese lost control of the Silk Road trade routes. This loss of control allowed the Islamic world to gain dominance in the region and control the lucrative trade in silk, spices, and other valuable commodities.
As part of their victory, the Abbasid forces captured a group of Chinese prisoners who were skilled in papermaking. These prisoners were brought back to the Islamic world, where they shared their knowledge of papermaking with the local population. The Arabs quickly learned how to produce paper from a variety of materials, including linen and hemp, and by the end of the 8th century, paper mills were in operation in Baghdad and other cities in the Islamic world.
The spread of papermaking technology from China to the Islamic world had far-reaching consequences. It allowed the Islamic world to become a center of learning, with books and manuscripts being produced on a large scale. This led to the preservation and dissemination of knowledge, including the works of ancient Greek philosophers and scientists, which had a significant impact on the development of science, medicine, and philosophy in Europe during the Middle Ages.
The spread of papermaking technology also had practical applications. It made it easier and more efficient to keep records, which had significant implications for the development of bureaucracy and the organization of government. It also made it possible to produce books on a large scale, which helped to spread literacy and education.
In conclusion, the spread of papermaking technology from China to the Islamic world allowed for the preservation and dissemination of knowledge, the development of science and philosophy, and the spread of literacy and education.

This explains socialism pretty good.
Matter of taste of course, but I thought was funny.
šš»A man walks past a beggar every day and gives him Rs. 100 and that continues for a year. Suddenly the daily donation changes to Rs. 75.
“Well,” the beggar thinks, “it’s still better than nothing.”
A year passes in this way until the man’s daily donation suddenly becomes Rs. 50.
“What’s going on now?” the beggar asks his donor. “First you give me Rs. 100 every day, then Rs. 75 and now only Rs. 50. What’s the problem?”
“Well,” the man says, “last year my eldest son went to university. It’s very expensive, so I had to cut costs. This year my daughter also went to university, so I had to cut my expenses even further.”
“And how many children do you have?” the beggar asks.
“Four,” the man replies.
“Well,” says the beggar, “I hope you don’t plan to educate them all at my expense.”š¤£š
