TA and I are not "online close" by any means, but he is actually an intelligent, funny guy. He's seems to be well educated and loves reading, history and politics. His posts on food and recipes are excellent. His recent grandpa posts are hilarious. His buttons aren't easily pushed and he always seems to give as good as he gets. He loves animals. He's always in shape and he seems to enjoy a very comfortable living with a woman he loves. The main places he and I differ concern our postions on God and family.....I'm a Christian and he's an atheist.....I love children and have a child (and want more) and he does not choose to have children in his life.
