Are Women Opened to Dating a Gay/Bisexual Man? By Miss Know It All
 |
| Miss Know It All |
I don’t
know if it’s a stigma now, but women have been dating gay/bisexual men since
the beginning of time. I know of someone who dated and married a gay/bisexual
man back in the late 50s. And everyone knew about his lifestyle, including his
mate. Of course back then people didn’t make a public announcement about their
sexual orientation, but with the onset of social media, everybody’s business
seems to be an open book. I am not into sharing, so I would never knowingly
marry a gay/bisexual man. And there are
other important issues at play here, which the books Broken
and Broken
Hearted 2: Secrets Revealed by Charlotte Marshall-Murray touch on.
So, my question is:
Would you knowingly or have you ever dated or married a gay/bisexual man and if
so, what experiences did you face? You can place your anonymous comments at the
end. You must be over 18 years of age or
the legal age in the country where you reside. Thank you.

Tips on Planning a Memorable Trip
 |
| Image by erikawg at Pixabay |
There are over seven billion people in the world and one
way to get to know and understand the various cultures that make up the planet
is to travel. It doesn’t necessarily mean you have to trek to every corner of
the globe. If you can take a trip around the world, that’s fantastic. But you
don’t have to be rich to plan a memorable trip. You can choose to travel
domestically or internationally. And you will want to get the most from your
trip without going bankrupt.
Decide how much of a budget you have and stick with it.
Select a good travel agent, or if you have the inclination and time, you can
plan your own tour; there are many travel sites online that offer some great
package deals. If you are traveling domestically, consider driving or seeing
the country on a bus or train. If traveling abroad, check airline promotional
fares, and avoid traveling during peak periods such as July, August, and
December. If you’re not into flying, there are cruise lines that offer great money-saving
incentives, and you’ll get to meet new people and possibly form lasting
friendships.
You can take shorter trips if you are press for time or
money, but if you don’t like traveling alone, you can join a travel club.
Lastly, wherever you travel, whether it’s domestically or
internationally, try to stay and eat where locals live and eat. You will not
only learn about their traditions, but they will learn more about your way of
life.

How to know If You Are Financially Ready to Get Married by Miss Know It All
 |
| Miss Know It All |
I don’t know if some couples are trying to keep up with the Joneses
or if it is instant gratification when it comes to spending money you don’t
have on a wedding, especially if you are already in debt.
There seems to a trend where couples are asking parents,
relatives, friends, and even strangers to pay for their wedding. Traditionally,
depending on the culture, the bride’s parents were responsible for footing the
bill. Nowadays, there seems to be a shift in who is actually going to pay for
the ceremony. In many cases the bride and groom will pay for their own wedding
or the parents of the couple will contribute what they can afford.
You will know right from the start if you can afford to have
an elaborate wedding. If you and your partner have disposable income, then go
ahead and plan that extravagant affair.
But if you have to do the following to plan your wedding,
then you should think long and hard before making that commitment, considering fifty
percent of marriages end in divorce:
·
Taking out loans to pay for your wedding.
·
Going on a crowd-funding page and asking strangers to pay for
your ceremony.
·
Asking your quests to cover expenses for your reception.
·
Requesting money in lieu of gifts.
·
Refinancing
a home or using credit cards.
According to Money Inc.,
2019, the average wedding costs
$33,931. But this will depend on your budget, the location, the number of
guests, and the add-ons you want to include.
Of course, you can plan a nice wedding on a shoe-string
budget. Go here to find out how.

Book Blast: Dragon’s Revenge by C.J. Shane
When Tucson private detective and Iraq War vet Letty Valdez is hired to investigate a murder, she immediately finds herself targeted by a violent criminal. To find the killer, Letty turns to an old memoir of life in late 19th century Tucson. Clues in the memoir, with its tale of love between two immigrants - one, an Italian widow, and the other, an exiled Chinese revolutionary - launch Letty on a suspense-filled struggle to find answers, to stop the murderer – and to stay alive!
Read an Excerpt:
from the memoir:
Mama agreed to sing at the rededication of the cathedral. She considered this a great honor and a spiritual responsibility. She wanted to do well to show her respect and devotion. Because of this, she began practicing every week as she had time, even though the rededication was six months away. She liked to climb a ladder up onto the flat roof of our adobe house and sing there. I asked her once why she went up on the roof.
"It's the right place to talk to God and that's what I'm doing when I sing. Singing here helps me to be strong." Mama said. Mama was very religious. She talked to God a lot. She also talked to Jesus, the Virgin, and all the saints. Me, I never had much use for all that.
She was up on the roof one day when Drago came up the street with his cart. When Mama didn't appear at our front door, he entered the gate to the side yard hoping to find her at the outdoor ovens. It was then that she began singing. Drago moved into the yard and stepped away from the adobe wall so that he could see her on the roof.
Mama stood straight upright, her long skirts moving slightly in the breeze. Her hands were clasped in front of her. She took another deep breath and out came that glorious mezzo-soprano, full and textured, subtle, rich with emotions I was too young to identify but would later know, emotions like passion and longing. Tendrils of curly dark hair escaped from the knot on her neck. Her northern Italian skin, pale like a pearl, glowed in the sunlight, and her dark eyes sparkled. My mama was a beautiful woman and she sang like an angel.
Drago stood transfixed in our garden, his hands at his side, his head bent upward to watch her. He was utterly still, utterly silent. I know this because I was hiding high in the branches of a tall mesquite tree behind him where he couldn't see me. I was supposed to be doing my chores but I, too, liked to watch Mama when she was singing.
Drago stood for the longest time listening to Mama. I was watching Mama but when I looked at Drago, I saw that tears were running down his face.
I think that was the day that Drago fell in love with Mama, the day he first heard her sing.
