RE: Why do men die first?

I never expect a woman to read my mind. Indeed, I would appreciate it, if she would stop trying and not expect me to do this either. When people attempt to 'read between the lines'. they make up stuff, that is most often wrong. Indeed, instead, good communication (by both people) is critical for long term relationship success.

RE: NO IM CHATS

I'm a no IMer too.
Wait, did I say that right ?

My computer hates me and Staples may too.

Dre - Maybe that's what they think of some of the customers - easy.

I won't hold you past against you Den.

RE: How do you love again

Hey Dennis. Rather than inflict my usual comedic drivel upon you,
I wish that you feel much better about yourself and the past.

However, in the future I advise you not to give so much, where it is unappreciated and un-returned. Instead, give a tiny bit and SEE if that is returned/appreciated. If so, give a tiny bit more and slowly raise the intensity and investment (of time, emotions, etc..) If not reciprocated and appreciated, invest your time & efforts where it IS appreciated & reciprocated (elsewhere). Otherwise, you are more likely to push someone away from you, than convince them that they should reciprocate.

To love someone is to truly understand them, not overwhelm them.

May your future relationship be mutual & long lasting.

My computer hates me and Staples may too.

Now, THIS was from a smart (fortune) cookie;

RE: why o why

Sorry to hear about the loss of your furry friend.
Be thankful for the good times you got to share.

Gotcha !!

To paraphrase 'Bones' of Star Trek....I'm not a software engineer. I'm a blogger.
In other words I have no idea HOW it works.
It just works.

Thanks

I would be happy to relocate to Hawaii.
I do not have any children.
If you already have kids, that is not a problem as long as
they do not interfere with your job responsibilities.
Indeed, part of your salary can go towards a Swedish au pair.

RE: rain has stopped at last.

Just stay mainly off the plane, when it rains.

Happily Unmarried

She's been true to herself.
THAT'S likely why she's smiling.

RE: 12yr old girl divorces her 80 yr old husband!!!!

I don't think it's right to force anyone to marry anyone anywhere against their wishes. It should take 2 consenting adults.

RE: A dream came true for me today.

Sounds great ! Enjoy !
"Dreams CAN come true, they can hsppen for you.."

Which mountain are you near ?

I was recently on the Skyline Drive in VA.
I went to Dark Hollow & White Oak Falls
before traveling to SC to be a photographer at a wedding.

RE: What I have learned today

Indeed, every new day is a new opportunity to experience, learn, enjoy & grow. Much success to you.

RE: A Freind

The secret to creating friends - is to be one.

Happily Unmarried

Lets see, where do I START responding to these comments.

How about in reverse order ?

Equiya - Thanks for the good advice.

OK Brite, good guess, I never dated men and have no desire to do so.
Indeed, I often feel sorry for women, seeing what some of them end up with.

Itscold - that plan sounds much cheaper than divorce

Emily - I think the term 'happily married' may be an oxymoron.

Adam - I like the way you think, but 3 might be a bit greedy and you KNOW how jealous women usually are.

Gian - That may work out as the most practical approach.

Happily Unmarried

OK, Spanish in the lead 2:1:1

RE: My Birthday

You don't look a day over 85.

Seriously, have a great one !

I met her

"Here" ???? Not here ! Everyone lives too far away.

RE: Do you see a dating site like a restaurant ?

May I see the dessert cart ?

We Murderlized 'em !

Thanks.

RE: I'm so in love with you

cute.

RE: PLANE CRASH POLAND

The first mistake was for all of them to be on the same plane.

While certainly the basis of a future movie or book, I don't
believe it was a set-up.

Very Happy to be ALIVE !

I did growl a bit while stretching.

Very Happy to be ALIVE !

a little better. Thanks.

I just took a nap and thankfully, no lions, tigers, or bears woke me up this time.

Very Happy to be ALIVE !

Hey ML
I'm glad it gave you a chuckle.

RE: Date this person?

Well, I've dated some real witches that cursed a lot !

Put one in the W column

Thanks Toffe. It should be a fun spring & summer.

RE: where are all the men

Do we have to date ANY woman ?
Or aren't we too allowed to be selective ?

Nay, I say. Tis nobler to suffer the slings, arrows and barbs of frustrated blog.... whoops. Sorry.
The voices are Shakespearian today.

RE: Lost a friend today...

I'm not sure why you think that you let him down.
But, hang in there. There is nothing that can be done to
reverse time. Try to accept this as not your fault, but
an unfortunate part of the life cycle. Indeed, it is eventually the fate of all. Feel lucky that your life continues. However,
it is limited, so do the best to enjoy it while you still can.
I'm guessing he would have wanted you to do so.

Hey Sweetheart, I'm Home ! What a trip !

(continued from above)

Later that evening we celebrated Amanda's (my cousins' youngest daughter) 20th birthday with cake & song and then taking her out dancing. She likes C & W line dancing. There were 6 of us (Guy, Amanda, Doug, Roxanne, Kaycey and myself - 3 guys & 3 gals). My cousin joked that we greatly improved the quality of women there and tripled the IQ of the place just by walking in. I don't know about the IQ thing, as I didn't get to talk with many of the guys. However, I will say this, the women there were some of the biggest, fattest women I have ever seen in my life. I joked that locally perhaps not only the horses were strapping on feedbags. Since I was the only single guy of us 3 men, Guy looked at me and joked that he "was very glad he was married, because if he was single, he would be mighty worried about now." Although I got lots of smiles from the local heifers, I made sure, that I was occupied for all slow dances with the three ladies we came with, especially the birthday girl.

On Easter I headed back north starting with the mountains of South Carolina & North Carolina, where I hiked to 5 different waterfalls; Wildcat, Lookout, Cove Creek, . Then, the next morning I drove to Baltimore and spent several hours photographing their National Aquarium. Luckily, I had bought a spare memory card for my camera, as I ran out of space on it after the dolphins show. On the way back, I stopped along I-95 in Maryland and was somewhat surprised to see about 200 Phillies fans dressed in Phillies shirts & hats. Apparently, a bunch of them drove down to Washington to see the Phillies wallop the Washington Nationals 11 - 1.

On the way back to the car in the parking lot, I saw an elderly man placing a bag of potato chips in the trunk of the car. The top was rolled up to prevent spillage. I said "aha ! I see you sneaking the chips while she's not looking." He let out a real bellylaugh and then said, "yep, you got me".

While driving home, my Mets won their home opener 7 - 1 versus the Florida Marlins. Lets go Mets !

I arrived home late last night and am just now catching up on phone & e-mail messages. Nonetheless, I hope you all had a terrific Easter and enjoyed my trip.
