RE: Baby Baby Baby

Happy birthday Art!!!!

RE: Baby Baby Baby

Most unusual opening line I ever got (for real not online) was a solemn 'I'd like to put in a heavy trot with you'.



Starting off with a rash is not the most evocative image

RE: You're my heart beats!

Heavens all this passionate promising and your profile status still single and heart-free

I think it is choice here in Spain, joint or individual. I'm about to have to set up for tax so am trying to read up what I can. Right NOW I have spent more than I earned but maybe I can sort a tax credit for next year's lavish income

You've changed

Ditto - I went back to part-time work, even though SA had joint-taxation and I had to pay super-tax to cover the difference in our joint income. I didn't take home very much!

Tough. Enough was enough.

So how's that marriage going?

You've changed

Molly, I trust you fixed him with a Look even when keeping quiet.

Back in the old old days it was understood the wife had an allowance and made do on that. Much better. If when I get super-rich I will adopt that system for my companion(s), I think.

Daniela, that's success in picking relationships, that they brought out the person you were born to be

My worst experiment was with someone who made me eventually beady-eyed and suspicious, as it turned out for good reason, but that demon once out the box is hard to dismiss forever and entirely. The demon still pops up to sniff at the atmosphere occasionally, very unsettling - and worse, when I am being normally curious and am accused of jealousy, it sends me into a loop. Am I? I have to pick through everything I felt and said - that was the worst change of them all.

Tchah.

But now I think of it, that's one change that stuck. I used to be very careless about where money went, but ever since those days I have been able to account for where I spent what. It was good training for being single.

You've changed

Molly, been there, done that, to some degree - I had my own credit card but had to explain every month how I had managed (with a baby, 3 horses, 4 dogs, 30 hens and other sundry expenses) to spend so much, HATED IT.

But I do miss not having to worry about all the expenses myself. Perfect world whoever has the money, the other partner has enough money of their own to buy what they want, including luxuries, without an inquisition because it is their own money.

You've changed

Molly, F1 being drowned out by the tickety-tackety of your flashing knitting needles would make you BOTH unhappy

Crazy extra nice AND crazy is perhaps the winning formula?

Red I would say I got braver and have carried on getting braver. So that was fairly fundamental.
Scratching his ash??????

Bentlee, know of two men who took up with much richer women and couldn't handle being treated like possessions. Do you think it is because women are clumsy at it? Or men simply don't like being kept? Many many rich men don't seem to have that much problem persuading women to become their bought-and-sold playthings

RE: One wonders, what could change his mind so drasticly. lol

You joke but when apartheid was ending in SA and the first fully democratic elections were being set up, the Nationalist government diverted a very large chunk of funding from the Education department and invested instead in Prisons.

As the joke at the time went, Nat MPs were saying ja right, you think they're gonna send us to school?

You've changed

JJ that sounds rather nice, so long as the woman who comes along isn't bossy and changes all that you'll rub along nicely together

You've changed

Z, one of my best friends was genuinely fascinated by it and wouldn't miss a GP, her husband found it boring

But me, if having to watch F1 was the price, I'll be single a while yet

You've changed

Whatyouhad - after 8 years you've both changed so much that even if you could pick up where you left off, it couldn't be the original relationship and it wouldn't last

You sort of have to get over it before trying with someone else and mucking them about - JMO

You've changed

JJ you'd have to change to SOME degree even if it was only making 2 cups of tea instead of one, or sitting back feeling spoiled when she brings you one unasked

And yes we all change even on our own, sometimes the changes that come with living alone make it even harder to think of ever being with someone else - all that FUSS.

But the right person wouldn't feel like a fuss, I guess.

You've changed

Crazy, finding someone to share your crazy with is the best luck there is

Would you ever quieten down for the otherwise-perfect guy, or would you make him be crazy too? (change, change, all about change)

You've changed

Noted, and expect to be much mocked when you are bullied into watching both by the dainty damsel wrapping you round her finger when it happens

I know of a guy who used to boast he never watched TV at all and he's now watching soaps and not even in his own language. Picture the look of dumb suffering in his eyes but - ahhh, love changes you all.

By the way if there are any male TV programs that act as catnip, please (anyone) let me know, I will seriously consider investing in a TV and will list the programs on my profile

You've changed

Z Think carefully before you answer this - where do you stand on Strictly?

Because you might be wiping out your chances with some of the lady bloggers if you aren't ever so careful

You've changed

Crazy yes releasing the inner vamp is the best, too good a feeling to lose!

You've changed

Bogey yup change is life

RE: Feeling Great And Thankful ...

Happy belated birthday Crazy

You've changed

I'm naturally untidy so being in a relationship means I have to tidy up my act. Bit of a relief, always, when I can revert to relaxed mode.

You've changed

Molly patient is good. And yup I will be a planner to my last breath. In fact I will probably use it, if not alone, gasping out 'don't forget the playlist I wanted at my funeral'. Just hope the person with me (a) isn't my killer (b) speaks English.

You've changed

Daniela - half the time we don't notice the changes ourselves, it is only when an outsider says (sometimes disapprovingly) that we've changed.

Or the outsider says it to them - you've changed so much since you got involved with That Woman (or of course That Man)

You've changed

Vier, I guess it will be true love when you don't even notice you are changing ...

RE: Kids: 1, Parent 0

Oh, and excellent beard!

RE: My Trip

GJ, always made me nervous to think of being in a hotel which bobbed up and down (and could sink) but you obviously had a good time.

Are there any videos of your karaoke efforts? Could you, would you, post one?

RE: All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth...

Tho you can wish uth merry Chrithmath?

You've changed

A nice short blog.

See? I can do them!
