My ex-wife once bought me a T-shirt with the logo: KING OF THE REMOTE. I have no idea why. Didn't have time to talk to her because I was busy switching channels at the time.
I once had a girlfriend who liked to control the channels. Oh, the battles we had over that.
Seriously, I do hear what you're saying, Tov, and I am planning a trip in early August to see someone who seems fairly simpatico. Perhaps the whole romantic trip will start up again...we shall see.
As a Scand, I may have an innate fear of "skraelings," GB. But I kind of think what you're saying mirrors BB's and my bipolarity (insofar as they are basically the same concept).
Hi, GB. Jeez, it's been awhile. And taking the "virtual fifth" does seem to be a wise thing to do.
God, how I envy you right now. You so much have what I want (don't misunderstand, I'm not specifically referring to your girl..though she does look kinda cute.. )
I wish you and yours the best, my brainy friend. I'm a tad disappointed you are unwilling to share your thoughts on this weighty subject, though.
But I'm not sure what sound deer make, J. Still, that does sound safer, because he hates deer (and has lots of weapons!) and might be more reluctant to open fire on an escape cow...
As a guy, Single, I feel very much the same way. I love all the traditional masculine things, but sometimes, a la Monty Python, I like to mix it up a bit - you know, cut down trees in women's underwear or go squirrel-hunting in high heels, that kind of thing. Not sure about wearing my lumberjack suit to a symphony though...
Warning to all pigs in the area... I had a BLT myself a few days ago for the first time in years, with fresh tomatoes, anyway.
I wish I'd started a garden. Wasn't sure until recently I'd be around enough to tend it, and now it's a tad too late. I rely on my neighbor for my fresh veggies at the moment. Sometimes he wonders where they've all gone, and I point accusingly at the deer grazing in the nearby pasture.
You're casting your benevolent power on me, KC! Thanks for the tune. It made me feel a mushy inside (though that could be due to all the fruit I consumed with my cereal this morning )
They're as complicated as the people involved make them be, I guess. If you have minimal ideals and expectations, life, including relationships, will doubtless be less complicated but not necessarily more rewarding, I'm thinking.
RE: Public apology to Women
I've discovered that public apologies, however well-intended, can be rather risky. But it appears you've emerged from this one fairly unscathed.
