This is interesting. "Time banks" where you barter your time or service... -- (link) - Don Homer Oct 22, 11:20 7
- Most of us just call them "banks". They hold our money, with which we barter our time and/or service. -- nm - Ender Oct 22, 11:46
- It's bad enough having to deal with nutters on Craiglist let alone having them arrive at your house -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 22, 11:40

- "I don't know." is the least bad thing to say. -- nm - ceregon Oct 22, 11:39

- What are the odds it's one of those comedy-style misunderstandings where he's actually planning a surprise? - Beryllium Oct 22, 11:29
- I'd go with "I don't really know. But I have noticed you guys have been distant. You should talk with him instead of speculating." -- nm - colin Oct 22, 11:29 3
  - and then suggest taking one of those stripper classes to rekindle the romance. -- nm - decline Oct 22, 11:32 1

  - this -- nm - Old Antarctic Explorer Oct 22, 11:30
- what would you want her to do if situation was reversed? (if she's very very close friend - is there a down side to being honest?) -- nm - ZomBro Oct 22, 11:28 2
  - the only downside is, i could be wrong. i know what i *believe*. and that's what she'll ask me. - The Andead Oct 22, 11:30 1
    - so say "I don't know. I have no evidence of such, but if you feel something is off, you need to discuss it with him" -- nm - decline Oct 22, 11:31
- What I would tell her is that after 10 years together...she knows her husband better than anyone. If she thinks there's a problem, there probably is. -- nm - Jim Oct 22, 11:23 8
  - Jim is smart -- nm - Phantom of the Pippy Oct 22, 11:32 4 1

        Middle Age Crazy. -- nm - Spawn Oct 22, 11:39
  - This. -- nm - volnelk Oct 22, 11:24
  - oh, i like this. thank you. -- nm - The Andead Oct 22, 11:24 1
    - No problemo. When you're with someone for that long, you can sense when something's "off"...and never have I gotten that sense and been proven wrong. - Jim Oct 22, 11:27
- "I don't know, but I seriously doubt it." -- nm - Don Homer Oct 22, 11:22 5

        "I have no idea." would be better. -- nm - Spawn Oct 22, 11:25
      - understood. -- nm - The Andead Oct 22, 11:24
- You cannot say that. What you can say is "I have no idea and I'm not the person you should be asking." -- nm - David Oct 22, 11:22 9
  - oh, she's asked him. -- nm - The Andead Oct 22, 11:23 8
    - How did he respond? -- nm - David Oct 22, 11:24 7
      - angry and told her she had to trust him. (it was about who he was texting all through my wedding reception) -- nm - The Andead Oct 22, 11:25 6
        
        That (the texting *and* his reaction) is a warning sign. -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro Oct 22, 11:26 1
        
        oh, i know. i think he IS cheating. -- nm - The Andead Oct 22, 11:27

        i'm not the person who can do that. i can only control MY actions here. not hers. not his. -- nm - The Andead Oct 22, 11:28
        
        This is the most direct path. Unwillingness to do so is tacit admision of guilt. -- nm - David Oct 22, 11:28

  - Kim's parents were both raised in Alabama although her dad became an Auburn fan. -- nm - David Oct 22, 10:59 7

    - I'm so sorry. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 22, 10:59 5
      - Her dad being ultra-liberal leads to some hilarious FB threads. - David Oct 22, 11:01 4
        
        "ultra-liberal" makes me think of some sort of giant liberal formed from an organization of smaller liberals ... - Beryllium Oct 22, 11:03 3
        
        I think that would be a Super-Liberal. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 11:19

        Yep. Total quack-a-doodle. - Jovian Oct 22, 11:11
- I couldn't stand more than 2 minutes and she hadn't even said anything (other than "like" and "you know" repeatedly in completely disjointed fashion). - pmb Oct 22, 10:51 1
  - oh its horrendous. I did like when she mentioned for the 3rd time that she cant die, followed up immediately with, "But please dont try and kill me." - Jovian Oct 22, 10:53
