Hal-Did GBS say that! It's exactly how me and Janet work out! Mainly separate vacations, own houses she a workaholic and she does go off to OZ now and then for her rootings Cheers Patrick -----Original Message----- From: Poetryetc: poetry and poetics [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Halvard Johnson Sent: 21 June 2009 16:51 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: a visit to the possum (at poetry daily today) Lyall Watson has suggested that we have little to fear from brother-sister relationships, because we (and brutes in other species) are least turned on by those we spend most of our time with. The secret to successful (i.e. long-lasting) marriages? Long sea voyages, separate bedrooms or even houses (a la GBS's advice), separate vacations, workaholic spouses, etc. Hal "When you're down to your last two choices, take the third." --Anon.
