When referring to a sitting President...

Shouldn't our current president, Barack Obama, be refered to as "President" Obama, and not "Mr." Obama? 

I have been listening to NPR for over 25 years and I have never, until now, heard them refer to a sitting president as anything but "President" so-and-so. 

Why, now, am I hearing President Obama being called "Mister"?

Seriously, I want to know.

Step-Husband?

Ex-Husband, Roommate, Best Friend...

There does not seem to be a word (in american) that describes the type of relationship I have with Randy.

Any suggestions?  How 'bout: mishpokhe

Having a Human Experience...

She took the words right out of my head!

"Thinking that we are human beings having spiritual visions only traps us in temporariness, in suffering and ultimately death. It cannot be overstated, therefore, how important it is to transcend this by maintaining a clear vision that we are spiritual beings having a human experience. Exploring the implications and consequences of this vision becomes our life work." - iguana
