I'm so shallow

What the hell is love, anyway? I spent the best part of a year feeling more and more affectionate towards a guy and he was more and more affectionate towards me and everything was lovely. This was it, I thought. Love! Yay! I would have quite happily gone the distance.

Then he says bye.

And I say oh, okay.

I should be devastated. I do miss him, I miss the chatting and when things happen I think hmm, must remember to tell him that tonight before I remember no more tonights. But surely I should be weeping buckets and tearing my hair out.

I do wonder if I am in denial, convinced he will realize we had too much going for us to let it go. That would be handy, because by the time it sinks in that he ain't coming back, I'll be used to his absence.

Or I am really shallow. Scary thought.

Ciao for now

This isn't a bowing-out blog because I really just want to change my name - the one and only thing CS does not allow us to change. Age, country of origin, even our sex, no problem, but not the name.

So I will be back at some point under another name. Maybe I will wake Vivian and we can chat to each other. Won't be the first person here to do that ...

In the meantime, I will miss you guys, I will watch the blogs, although it will be a while before I can comment, and I am letting Vivian Lee, who has had a very hectic 15 months, go have a very long catnap. Any suggestions for a new name?

I'm feeling quite emoticonal about it all laugh rolling on the floor laughing professor scold roll eyes blushing wink conversing

If I was a cat (ok, a spoiled pampered one)

cats meow I could jump five times my own height from a sitting position.

cats meow I could groom myself whenever I didn't want to talk to somebody, and no-one would be offended.

cats meow I could take off for several days at a time, and be greeted lovingly on my return, no explanation required.

cats meow I could sleep as much as I wanted, and complain when anyone tried to wake me up, without being resented.

cats meow I could close in for a hug whenever I liked, but could also pull away from a hug when I wasn't in the mood, and both reactions would be accepted without question.

cats meow I could turn my nose up at the meal that had been prepared for me, and if I was spoiled enough, another option would instantly be offered.

cats meow I could share myself out between several owners*, taking my time to decide which offered the best options. (*Cats don't have owners, they have staff.)

cats meow I could demand attention, and get it, whenever I wanted.

Nobody would expect me to do a thing around the house, or even be good-natured. They would still love me, feed me and look after me.

I was born into the wrong species. Does anyone know where I can put in for a transfer?

Double standards

If I slept with many men, people would call me a slut.
But when a man sleeps with many women, people call him a real man.
How come?

Here's one reply:
When one lock can be opened by many different keys, it's a bad lock, but when one key can open many different locks, we call it a master key.

Haunted house

I really should NOT have watched the ghost movie I just watched. No obvious scaries or skeletons going boo, what got me was the creeping horror. It was a relief when the booing started, it was the early bits that freaked me. Fires dying and rooms suddenly going cold ... doors twitching out of the actor's hand and slamming... the tension building, building ...

What makes the hairs on the back of your neck slowly stand up? crazy

I'm scuttling off to bed now. Listen closely in the next 10 minutes. If something grabs at my ankles as I get into bed, you should hear the scream.

Old jokes - TGIF!

*I just got back from a pleasure trip. I took my mother-in-law to the airport.

*We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.

*My wife and I went to a hotel where we got a waterbed. My wife calls it the Dead Sea.

*The Doctor called Mrs. Smith saying, "Mrs. Smith, your check came back" Mrs. Smith replied, "So did my arthritis!"

*A doctor held a stethoscope up to a man's chest. The man asks, "Doc, how do I stand?"
The doctor says, "That's what puzzles me!"

*Patient: "I have a ringing in my ears."
Doctor: "Don't answer!"

*Back when I was growing up, we always had two choices for dinner - Take it or leave it.

*Q: Where does a modern husband hide money from his wife?
A: Under the vacuum cleaner.

*Why do divorces cost so much?
They're worth it.

*Why do so many men die before their wives?
They want to.

*There is a big controversy in different cultures about when life begins. In some, the fetus is not considered viable until it graduates from law school.

And here's how to lay down a good guilt trip:

*A man called his mother in Florida . "Mom, how are you?"
Not too good," said the mother. "I've been very weak."
The son asked, "Why are you so weak?"
She replied, "Because I haven't eaten in 38 days."
The son said,"That's terrible. Why haven't you eaten in 38 days?"
The mother answered, "Because, I didn't want my mouth to be full in case you should call."

I think I've managed to offend nearly everyone laugh have a great Friday

Audio Quest speaker cables: $14 000

These cables have been discontinued. Since you can't now buy them - and may have thought $14K a bit steep - I thought you might enjoy a couple of the 250+ reviews they got on Amazon while listed for sale.

We live underground. We speak with our hands. We wear the earplugs all our lives.

PLEASE! You must listen! We cannot maintain the link for long... I will type as fast as I can.

DO NOT USE THE CABLES!

We were fools, fools to develop such a thing! Sound was never meant to be this clear, this pure, this... accurate. For a few short days, we marveled. Then the... whispers... began.

Were they Aramaic? Hyperborean? Some even more ancient tongue, first spoken by elder races under the red light of dying suns far from here? We do not know, but somehow, slowly... we began to UNDERSTAND.

No, no, please! I don't want to remember! YOU WILL NOT MAKE ME REMEMBER! I saw brave men claw their own eyes out... oh, god, the screaming... the mobs of feral children feasting on corpses, the shadows MOVING, the fires burning in the air! The CHANTING!

WHY CAN'T I FORGET THE WORDS???

We live underground. We speak with our hands. We wear the earplugs all our lives.

Do not use the cables!

If only Heracles had such power! By Valannin on March 19, 2009
If there is one cable I would whole-heartedly trust to my Chimera-hunting needs, this would be the cable. No other cable has the tensile strength to properly and efficiently garrote a lycanthrope, asphyxiate an Esquilax or even gag a mermaid. Last week, using my trusty AudioQuest K2 (retrofitted with lead weights, bright orange latex paint and a generous coating of crushed glass stolen from the window of an abandoned church at midnight), I managed to snuff 3 golden unicorns in swift succession!

Pros: Quickly tears through scales, fur, bone, and adamantium with ease
Coils and uncoils from hip holster (optional) quickly and quietly
For a product fabricated from 1,000 Onyx Dragon fetuses, the price is unbelievably reasonable!

Cons: Shipping from the R'lyeh took far too long
Doesn't come in 10' lengths (which would be perfect for hydra, cerberii and other multi-headed creatures)
After every use, I can feel 6 ounces of my soul slipping from my core into the ether. But this may be due to the fact that I prefer to work without gloves. YMMV.

Overall, I would recommend that any hunter buy one, nay, two, of these immediately, and experience the difference that upgrading to the K2 will make in your next quest!

My cats chewed on this cable and now they can both speak. One of them is gay and the other wants to kill me. I would have rather not known.

Completely ineffective
By J. Kesselman on November 28, 2010
Even when I buffered the lightning down to a few thousand volts, these cables burned out before revivification could take place. Worse, while wasting time with these the body began to putrify; now I have to go out and dig up fresh materials and spend all that time stitching them together again.

Doesn't anyone screen these ads?

Reveals the hidden treasures in familiar music.
By Audiophile on November 28, 2010
Using these cables, and only using these cables, I was finally able to hear an auditory gem that has been long rumored among music connaisseurs - Aretha Franklin's stress-fart just prior to her high A in her recording of "You're All I Need to Get By".

Worth every penny.

Polocrosse!

This is the best game ever played on horseback, and the chances anyone out there in blogland knows it at all are close to non-existent - but this is a US video, who knows. Maybe. It's big in South Africa, Australia, NZ. Back in the day I played for about 10 years, and my knees still give me gyp from those high-speed collisions, but what a rush.

Crank the sound up, it's a good soundtrack. Blow your mind a little bit.

What? I have a soft side!

It's hard when you miss people. But you know, if you miss them, it means you were lucky. It means you had someone special in your life, someone worth missing.

Aw

We're all looking for someone. How long do we want it to last? For me, all the way, babe. All the way. Getting better and better.

I did laugh, but you know what? When I get there, I want there to be someone who still thinks I am the business.

Won't be around much today, have a great day wave

Travel

I used to love to travel. Canada, Australia, Africa, America, Europe, been there (bits of) and done that (most of). I still like exploring new places, but the problem is getting there.

Flying is pure misery. I've got long legs, I'm claustrophobic, and I hate crowds. Being wedged in a cramped seat a mile above the ground in a metal tube with a few hundred people is about as close to hell as I hope to get. Chomping valium like smarties is all very well but seriously messes up the first day or two of the holiday.

I never felt the urge to go on a sea cruise. Being trapped in a hotel which is bobbing up and down doesn’t immensely appeal.

And I live on an island. There's only so far cars and trains will get me. Yes, I know there's a tunnel to Europe. See claustrophobic, above.

Failing friendly aliens, transport I will have to wait patiently for the invention of an effective and efficient teleporter. One which doesn’t need to be checked for flies or for that matter cockroaches or any other life form that could be incorporated into my DNA.

A good photo

Especially in my age group, guy photos need to tell a story. Most of the time, the story is 'my camera is out of focus' or 'I never used moisturizer or sunscreen in my life.' Some feel an expression of dumb resignation will work. And why, why, rotate a photo sideways? Some show the guy proudly displaying his tattoos. Since women are divided into those who do like tattoos, and those who don't, that's a great time-saver.

Don't be thinking I only go for looks, now, I don't. I like to see a face clearly, but I found the ones that really catch my eye are the story-telling photos. The guy with the horse gets a second look. The one against a crammed bookshelf. The one stripped to the waist painting the keel of an old boat. You know, hobbies, interests, a start to conversation? I even appreciate the guys on their pushbikes, at the gym, or playing the ukelele, because I know immediately that's not gonna work out for us. For sure some other woman will suck in her breath sharply and click on the YES button.

I'm for sure going to add a story photo to my set. To make up for the fact I don't have a cleavage shot. You never know. It could work.

Work it, guys. Work it. grin
