      I'm dying to know what the actual reason was. Drug related?
      No, it was a chronic health problem.

        I disagree with Rasta Nurse on this one. The proper response to that question is: "With a belt, dumbass!"
        Actually, I thought "with your OTHER hand, dumbass!" would be a valid response, too.

          1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
          2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
          3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
          4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

            If he also has a beard and pipe, he could be mistaken for a Unix Administrator in the wild. </computer humor>

              Beard, check.
              Long, semi-kempt salt-and-pepper hair, check.
              Pipe, used to, currently rolls his own.
              Skilled POSIX administrator, check.
              Looks like Alan Cox, check. (According to Telsa Gwynn)

                There are a fair number of British readers on CS, and I don't think you wanted to convey the impression that your husband was a cross-dresser.

                North America: Suspenders are (usually) worn by men. They are used in place of a belt, to keep trousers (don't want to call them "pants", since that has a different meaning for Brits) from falling down. They attach to the waistband of the trousers in front and back, and go over the wearer's shoulders.

                Britain: Suspenders are (usually) worn by women. They're what we in North America would call "garters", and are used to hold stockings up.
                Any fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.

                    Which, over here, would be the shiny metal things that go on your teeth to straighten them out.

                      Means that here as well. A brace is a support or binding, but it's also two in terms of a brace of pheasants.
