RE: "DAY OF THE GROUND HOG"

Even made it to the news here in Scotland. Gonna be an early spring!

Leap year, baby!

Hang on, did I write to you? I don't think so!

So many letters ...

Anyway. Wouldya? Couldya?

Leap year, baby!

Mick I was just pulling your leg.

Is that a no? A definite maybe?

Leap year, baby!

KN, only if you pick someone who says yes. What are the chances? But boy would we dance!

Leap year, baby!

oh, and you have to do it here. Full glare of publicity. No sneaking off and saying er, um, I was, um wondering, in a private message.

Leap year, baby!

Oh Jim (can I call you Jim? ) if you're going to get fussy ...

Just give me the wink, and I'll propose to you. I'll do it nicely, too. So you can see how you feel.

Leap year, baby!

Er, should say I am not planning any proposals, okay?

I just feel I should have someone in my sights. I'll be 4 years older before I get my next shot.

Volunteers? roll up, roll up. Where's Z? Where's Chrome? Who else is roughly in my age-group and single?

Leap year, baby!

Hahaha that was the old-style proposal. I'm a die-hard romantic, least I can do is do the thing right.

The last time I got engaged, he pushed the ring box over the table towards me while staring into space in an abstracted way. Reader, I married him.

Well, it was a nice ring and I was a material girl back then.

I'm so glad you said that Eks because when you first started blogging I used to think she was a distorting influence on you, you lacked confidence and referred quite often to her negative opinions. You have grown as much as your house!

Probably shouldn't have said that, mind. but my mum was something of a tyrant.

RE: Ive been shopping...

Uncanny, I was thinking of writing a blog on pink.

Red and pink used to be considered men's colours, it used to be blue for a girl, red for a boy, until relatively recently.

And I personally think men look awesome in pink

No regrets has been the main response, I LIKE that.

Dream - regrets - I've had a few - but then again, too few to mention. I did what I had to do, and saw it through, without redemption (this should be on Ian's blog, he'd know the words.) You did it your way, is what I'm saying, and if we could see where the highway would take us, would life and decisions be easier or harder?

It's never too late to go back to Uni, you're so bright. Or do pretty much anything you set your mind on. Right now you're treading water. There's still years and years in which to start swimming

Everything I have seen or heard of your kids, they were and are worth it.

Now then if we were the same all the time you'd find us boring.

That's what I love about women. We're always so upbeat and positive.

Molly, I hope, I really hope, the earth moves for you in the most satisfactory way possible on your holiday.

Z, I now completely understand why you live up a mountain.

And have cancelled tentative plans to relocate down to England

Scotland barged into England a gazillion years ago, apparently, hence all the impressive mountains along the Borders. Apparently we're made of pretty hard stuff, whether that will make an earthquake better or worse I have no idea. I shall NOT be researching it, I want to sleep nights.

how the other half lives

Yikes, that would rattle the glasses on the tables!

And this is the place everyone (well, all your Spanish lot) say is a good place for a holiday?

Molly, I saw you booked already. Did YOU know this???

how the other half lives

Z, did everyone experience that earthquake or was just your world rocked by this lovely girl?

Pedal, you're preaching to the converted here. I like interesting people, and people aren't defined by their jobs but by how they think, and react, in talk. We wouldn't have talked again if we hadn't both been interested by what the other was saying (note I don't say 'interested in each other' because on a singles website that can have another meaning! )

I do think he did it more to give people a starter-hook for conversation. He also said I was from Scotland, and that gave us some starter small-talk as well.

CC - sometimes writing it down helps, sometimes not. I tend to going with remembering the good, and knowing the bad made me stronger, and most of the time that works.

But I'm even more impressed by you now than I was before.

how the other half lives

Molly, I tried to do just that for my daughter, no expectations but to be happy with her life and make decisions she can live with time will tell whether I managed it, she's a good lass, so far so good

Map - yup. Colonial upbringing not unlike yours, without the army!

Funny old life, wasn't it? You seem to be living the dream now, though. Where's my dream? I want a dream!!

CC, yet you've always sounded extremely happy with your life, I admire that immensely. I've never really fitted in anywhere - neither fish nor fowl.

I'm the cat that walks alone

Hi Wolfie and I am SO stealing that cartoon, I love it!

RE: can anyone explain this...

And is your voice, in your head, amazing? Mine is. The raven's croak that actually emerges when I sing out loud is always a shock.

You're channeling, in a rather unusual way. Sounds nice.

I always wonder

Hell, you could fit the whole of Wales into the Kruger National Park in South Africa. Not a huge island!

I always wonder

Hmm. I think I just failed the first question in my immigration exam

We just have counties. There isn't really enough room for provinces.

I always wonder

Lucy, from what you've said of the sunshine records in your state, I don't blame you. A beautiful fall, a crisp winter, a lovely spring, and a good summer ... and you speak English there, too, right, along with French. Hmm.

Up through America and permanent landfall in Canada doesn't sound too shabby!

And yes I like my stuff around me. That's why a camper, not living out of a suitcase for two years

I always wonder

Aw, Wolfie, that's the nicest thing you ever said to me.

You said it to me, right?

I always wonder

Redex, isn't it GORGEOUS???
