Hmmmm--just thinking ---me on the eBay boards listing tonight and popping in and out of AW and listening to Andres Segovia Guitar Etudes---Glorious Glorious!! But--my honey is in Pittsburgh--seeing Alice Cooper in Concert. (Talk about old coots )
Is there a chance in heck that we will ever make it as a couple? Saw Alice once and that was enough---will never get the oppurtunity to drag my honey to Segovia.
Anywho--my question--does our differences as a couple make us stronger? (Butting in right away---Yes!) He may have a totally different outlook on music and I have tried to appreciate it--but---classical guitar gets my panties sorta kinda wet. That's it!
Does anyone else have such diametrically opposed viewpoints but after is all said and done--makes the relationship work?

Yes! I'm Neil Diamond, Roger Whitacker, and Maynard Ferguson. Hubby is Primal Scream, Iggy Pop, and Pulp! Yet I couldn't have found a better soul mate! We just have two stereo systems. I have one in my sewing room and he has one in his workshop. LOL!

From my experiences the differences really do make you a stronger couple. As long as both sides see that different doesn't mean wrong - it just means different.

Opposites attract, dear
My mom was high society lady. Tea parties with the silver, dressed to the hilt all the time. Said Dah'ling all the time (not to me). Just oh too too sorta gal. My dad...he was from Arkansas, played the fiddle and banjo, loved ol Cousin Herb (remember him?) and hung out at the bar playing poker. I have NO idea how they got together. My sister has a hoity toity name. My dad named me after a radio show girl

Hi Maui--think my fella has his hands full. Now listening to Tiny Music--STP. He on the other hand is still at Alice Cooper and still loving it. Oldie Moldies are nice--Classics are Classics and New is New, Sorta.

Jeanyu, the only thing my hubby and I agree on is...he stays downstairs and I stay upstairs. He listens to stuff like Johnny Mathis (gag me), and some of the oldies from the 50's. I listen to Led Zepplin, Iron Butterfly, Limp Bizket (sp?) Enya, Classical (yes, Im weird). The only other thing we agree on that we REFUSE to listen to is country. EWWWWWWWW.

Maui!!!! Country--yes the only thing my honey and I agree to ban, not a hard choice, really.
edited to add--sorry to about 90% of the population but me and my honey--Maui and her honey--don't like country. Get over it, K?

LOL! My husband's cousin and I were tunelessly singing made up country songs(she dumped me and I drove my brand new truck off the cliff and so on), and my husband puffed up and said emphatically "You two are barbarians! You don't appreciate great music!" He likes very maudlin music, and listens more for the words than the music.
I listen to reggae, classical, zydeco, and salsa.

LOL Hcq! And snowyegret...hehehe. Country songs are easy to make up...just make sentences where you lose your truck, your wife, your lover, your dog, your cat, your job
Some country is ok (VERY little, in my book), but what nauseates me no end is the whiney stuff...like Randy Travis.
Jeanyu is a tad more blunt than me with her "get over it". Me, I just dont like country. I wont get over it
