“The closest we come to groundhogs in North Idaho is their cousin, the marmot. Often found near water, there’s quite a large neighborhood of the creatures in Falls Park in Post Falls,” posts Kerri Thoreson, OnLocation North Idaho. More here.
Compromise? Not: Well yes, this is all true. But if I may say something in my
defense? OK they said. First, most of the real good ones are gone. Not only gone, but like many or most of them, they know they have a good thing. That leaves me with one: losers. Two, winners that don’t want a second go-around, and three they don’t live in Bayview. Oh, and three, I can’t do it anymore. I can’t be wrong when I’m right and all of those other stupid compromises we men have to make to keep peace. I continue to believe that I am equal to women, no matter what they think, and until I find one that admits that, forget it/S&S Herb, Bay Views. More here.
Question: Bayview Herb contends that men are equal to women. Do you agree?

Many or most? Can’t figure out why Herb is single. ;-) But I don’t think he ever answered the question which was, why does he think he’s qualified to write a romance column when he ain’t active. Using the word “surge” in the column does not a qualification make.

Maybe its because he has an outside point of view? ;) Won’t be slanted by that fickled thing called love?
You know how much I like you Herb but dude, equal? There is no one equal to you. ;)

Ahem, Sis. I explained that in the last paragraph.

Herb - I agree with you! And I’m a gal. But more, I totally relate to the feeling I get from my married friends that since I’ve been divorced for 32 years, I do not have one single tiny teeny cell in my entire body that can remember even a nanosecond of being a wife. Why are those stupid married people shocked when I pull a gun on them????
It’s like riding a bike - I can remember the good and I do remember the bad. I’m under your list, No. 2, winners that don’t want a second go-around - so I am in a long running (23 years) very steady, very comfy, very content unmarried relationship.

I always thought the Marmot should be Post Falls’ official… uh… vermin? Mostly, though, cause when I worked for the City I thought it would be cool to wear a marmot costume for city functions.

Equal in what? Height, weight, income, intellingence, sex appeal? I suppose it would depend on the man and the woman.
