Open Thread

Well thats a lot to digest. I’d be careful about making any big decisions right now because this is probably groundshaking for you. Make sure your friends are around to comfort you.

Benson, it’s all good. Truthfully, I was not insulted or hurt by our exchange or any for that matter. It takes alot to aggravate me. I’m good natured / humored about alot of things. So fire away. Give me your best shots.

You guys with your tempers! Benson, you lash out at me while others may choose to ignore me.

I get over things rather quickly. So let’s keep the dialogue open and find something else to argue over.

Let’s meet at the next Brownstoner get together.
I have this vision of you walking in through the door with a baseball cap with your tag name ‘Benson’ on the front, carrying a Fedder on your shoulder. You see me across the room with my frivolous words scratched across my chest and a sex toy in one hand. We lock eyes and fall madly in love at first sight.
We run off together and buy a newly built with top of the line finishes, Fedder fixer upper and spend the next 30 years renovating and blogging about our wonderful home we so lovingly schlockified.
Our love fades after you install the last Fedder below our aluminum bedroom window and I realize this house just isn’t cool enough for me.
I leave you and spend the rest of my days in a tenement building in Chinatown with no security but surrounded by wonderful art work.

So, apology accepted.

ditto, I too was wondering which half of the brother is gay! Seriously Rob, that’s heavy stuff. I’m sorry to hear about the passing of your mom and wish you all the best with the new found family.

This applies to blogs too. They didn’t mention it back then and one wonders why.
