Re: Affairs of the Heart
Hello everyone,
Just want to let you all know how much I enjoy this site.
I thought I was the only one on this earth who gets a thrill looking at
washing machines and dishwashers. My dad thought I was a little "queer" sitting in our neighbor's kitchen , watching
a front load washer doing laundry. (Westinghouse model). I
think I was about 7 (1964). My mom was still doing laundry
on a winger washer and I allways thought how back-breaking that was. She had to heat the water on the stove, fill the machine, take the clothes out on a line, even in bitter winter. So, when my brothers and I starting making money on our own, we purchased a new Whirpool washer and dryer set (1976). It was about that time that our mom was diagnosed with RA which damaged her hands and knees very bad.
What I really like about this site, is that we are one mind,
with a lot different interest. No one puts anyone down even it is a dump question (My big question is WHAT IN THE HELL IS A SUD SAVER on the washer and what is its' purpose)? Do modern washers have this today?
And yes, I am gay, and have been with my partner for more than
7 years. We did meet through the personals via the newspaper. He is the love and the man of my dreams who shares my oddness, just as I share his ways as well. I think what makes a good relationship is not to be too much alike. We both have slighly different interests such as sports (I don't like), I like to cook, he can't boil water. Also, you do have to have something more in common that just sex. During the 7 years, my partner has had some major health problem such as a heart attack and a minor stroke, which I play the role of caregiver partner. So,
those out there who are still looking, DON'T GIVE UP.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday!!
John
