MAXIMS
“Trendy” is an adjective that means “soon to go out of style.”
Ownership is an illusion. Everything is a rental.
Ownership is a burden whenever it gets in the way of a blessing.
A brand name is not a substitute for confidence or personal style.
Complimentary differences ignite relationship passion; irreconcilable differences extinguish that passion.
The present does not need to be constructed with bricks from the past.
If someone dislikes you, it says something about them; if everyone dislikes you, it says something about you.
Taboos exist only if you allow other people to hand them to you.

I had to google Lisa Ann - because I did not know who she is. 59:10 - here I think it is a very individual feeling what is cheating and how porn affects the love between two people. when porn becomes a field of competition in the bedroom and either partner would be "rated" by their look and performance. it is meant as an optional "tool" to make "appetite" - not a benchmark or substitute for sex. there is a study about "Pornography and marriage" by Doran, K., & Price, J. (2014). 1:37 Joshua, about your NO to renting the back house. I do not know how well you know that person, who said "I'm mad at you..." - obviously she was not dealing very good with that NO. it could be her kind of humor to say that to you? a kind of trying to cope with a NO? I recently read a book about "words to make your life better". I always thought that NO is a complete sentence. though I learned if that NO is not enough for the other, I now add: "I understand you absolutely, AND I want something different". the AND makes the difference - it makes clear that I understand the need or the issue of the other, AND I make clear that I have a different view, opinion, feeling about it without giving room for justification. that made my NOs better to "digest" ;-).
