I'm not a lady but I take it that you are looking for a man; and believe it or not I am a man (well an avowed coward but still a man in a mouse-like kinda way).
You post often.
My advice would be to write this:
"I am a lady who has a great sense of humour and I often post in the international forums.
You have the opportunity to interact with me there; if I like what you write and you like what I write we might even exchange emails and find out more about each other!
However, if I don't like what you have to say for yourself or vice versa let's not waste each other's time - ok?"
Housework is a real pain - twice a week I have to remember to tell the cleaning lady if there is anything 'extra' I want her to do............ she only does seven hours cleaning per week and I am very, very messy!
Met a German guy on the plane back here on Monday night and he's a professional photographer........... out on holiday but he said he always brings his camera and can normally get paid by somebody for something he's taken!
The lady sat between us had TWO jobs, and her husband had TWO jobs too!
They both had full-time professional type jobs and also ran a successful restaurant - some people are just so dynamic!
I'll go to there restaurant sometime - an Italian one and occasionally I get into a Garfield hunger type fit and want to stuff my face with pasta!
I really admire artistic people - prople who can make wonderful music, or paint beautiful pictures, or sculpt, or dance, or act with passion, or design beautiful buildings or landscapes.......... artistic people have a vision that they either need to express for themselves or for the appreciation of other people.
In fact people only used to hire me if they wanted to destroy any semblance of 'customer care' and wanted to sincerely go bankrupt (for some strange and dubious tax purposes I'm convinced)...........I once made a customer 'happy' and was sacked on the spot for giving the kiss of life to somebody who was really dying!
I was about as popular at work as Assam Bin Laden turning up at a Bah Mitzvah (however you spell that) dressed in drag with a small goat stuck up his bum bum!
One of my first ever summer jobs was as a barman in a hotel. They put me to work in the cocktail bar and the dear old lady who taught me had taught my elder brother almost a decade before......... she was an amazing character, and knew loads about horses and used to win more money gambling on horse racing than she ever did behind the bar!
I spent two whole days last week cutting down 30+ trees for my fiancee in Germany. The physical labour did me the world of good. The result (more light into her garden and happy friends taking away six large trailers of firewood to be chopped up) was very very satisfying.
Now I am back home in sunny Gozo trapped indoors looking after my mum and making loads of money doing financial deals via the internet, but the satisfaction is zilch compared to gardening!
I have a Japanese style 'lawn' with low-maintenance stones gathered from all over the island. The stones are immaculate and with only the carcass of the odd animal that has had the temerity to trespass!
ok - NO elephant carcasses...... just the odd stray cat or rat or snake or frog or dog
Sometimes I stay up late at night ready to blast away with both barrels of my imaginary shotgun at some little birdie or cricket that alights on my beautiful tranquil Japanese 'lawn'!
Yup - I even had to travel to work in Australia...... disgustingly dirty place; and it was just so nice to go home to a nice wet damp and cold British summer!
I've had to work in kitchens cleaning all the pots and pans for a whole week at a time too........... we used to get prisoners to do it but they used the opportunity to run away so it became part of our duties when our turn as 'duty company'...... I enjoy cooking, but cleaning pots and pans for 600 hundred greedy soldiers for 16 hours per day for a week was enough to make me want to cry!
All the prisoners had to do was stay in their nice clean cells.
Excuse me - are you trying to tell a Brit how to spell in bloody English?.......... well, tie me kangaroo down and kick it in the goolies you have the temerity to speak in your native tongue when ENGLISH is the only acceptable language in an international forum!
Heck - quit whinging about me whining or we'll have to tell the americans that a buoy is pronounced 'boy' and not 'boo eee' - Lord have mercy!
1. A British national tv campaign about 20 years back that encouraged the great British public to 'Save money, bath with a friend!'
2. I forget
3. I forget
4. I forget
5. We Brits never hold a grudge for more than a few hundred years.... we still haven't forgiven the yanks over Suez but almost forgiven the French for quitting the 100 years war back in whenevefr - I forget!
hmmmm.... I went from a yucky 'clean' job working in a boring bank to nice 'dirty' job as a member of HM Forces for 13.5 years. I left the Army in 1988 and not done much since........ did a little of 'this and that' like ran a bridge club looking after awesomely vicious old ladies who would rather have you flogged than smile, drove a bus, sold car insurance, started up my own IT company, did some research into Managerial Cybernetics, spent a few years deeply thinking how I could make lots of money for the minimum effort, decided it wasn't worth the effort and retired!
Ok, I wasn't mentally well yesterday and applied for a job; hopefully they won't come back to me.......... yesterday was an abberation and I am back to normal today!
God feeds the little birdies and he can bloody feed me too - and a bunch of ungrateful atheists into the bargain!
Go in your peace and if your heart is breaking it shall still carry on beating until one day you'll meet the right person for you and then this situation will vanish from your memory as if it never was!
