How Do SOs Feel?

With the NNO discussion, it got me thinking about how SOs, male SOs, feel about their female SOs going to a gentlemen's club or the like. Do they feel joyfully delighted that we're expanding our horizons to seek and experience the wondrous place that is a gentlemen's club or do they feel like we're invading their place of escape, fantasy, or utopia? Men, come on and share your opinions...

History Weekend

During the last weekend of 2006 at a relative's house, we were presented with these objects from the past and had to guess what they are. Most of us were dumbfounded. Even the older people. See if you can guess what they are...












































Then on New Year's Day we took my obaasan to a location from her past so that she could see what it looked like today and to see if she recalled anything. She told us that these leaves were used when steaming some food. The following are some commemorative objects that we encountered while touring the area.


Not quite as vast a memorial as the Arizona Memorial but this one is also a reminder of the devastating happenings back in 1941.






She mentioned the Clipper even before seeing this one. Wow, great memory.
