Yes they do but they dont fit well together. It doesn't last long.

Or do you think the other way around?

I am a much more visual learner. I would have to get a magnet and see it!

Are magnet being used metaphorically in this exchange? I mean, I was looking at the last page, and the concept was interesting, although magnets are used to refer to other things as well.

My first answer to Mathos was a literal one. Its possible to contain any kind of matter in a magnetic field but it takes a lot of energy.

It's done for fundamental research purposes.

My last answer was a bit more metaphorical.

Opposite characters always oppose and that doesn't make a good relationship.

What is your view on that?

Hmmm. I take a little bit more moderate view, I suppose. While "too many" opposing traits can make a terribly adversarial relationship, too many like traits can be too homogenous or boring! I like the idea that 'opposites attract', maybe mainly because my husband is so unlike any of the other guys I'd dated, and we are very different or opposite in many ways. It works for us!

I rather think couples, {who intend making it} grow together. There is a natural tendency for women to desire safety and security, the issues are of major importance to her.

One may well appreciate familiarity breeds contempt, the reversal of the fields is in this manner extremely powerful. However, logic coupled with sensible understanding on both parties sides can work out solutions to re-kindle the fire.

Would you both agree?

Not necessarily.

What do you do with a rich woman who has no problem with safety and security?

Well, spendius I would say you would treat her as you would any other lady...with a full measure of respect and decency. If you close your eyes to her wealth it might make it easier.


Why are so many people so obsessive and obsessed about the personal wealth of others but without any shred of thought towards the disgraceful behavior or lack of ethics which a wealthy person may have? Does wealth truly make up for lack of decency?

I have read of many examples of wealth not so much making up for lack of decency as mitigating it.

No porrige here. Must be an English thing?

I don't think that I am so rare that I am in a select group of people who frown on "bad" behavior from people, are rich or not.

What have or would you be willing to do to help disaster victims (such as those affected by the hurricane)?

Every woman, rich or poor needs to know she is safe and secure.
It's part of evolutions pattern Spendius, no woman can trust a bodyguard, Lady Di, could have told you that!

Well devvie-I have been telling all the building tradesmen I know to head for Louisiana if they can extricate themselves from where they are.

Is that helping?

I wouldn't be so insolent as to hazard a guess.I think that people who make superficial comments just add to the problem.We get the governments we deserve.

I really doubt it. It's not a perfect system, but when everyone "plays fair" it works. I'm hardly a political pundit, but I know enough to know why the system is the way it is insofar as it was founded and intended to be run.

Do you know much about American politics?

Haven't noticed it as of yet. I wonder if they will. I'm not sure how much the area affected by the hurricane has to do with production of materials.

How much is gasoline/ petrol(?) where you are?

It is hovering around £4 a gallon.(approx $7).

Is it true you are all squealing like stuck pigs at $2?
