We have an excellent relationship, I think. I don't call her and she doesn't call me...
Seriously, we parted amicably, and continue to be friends. I wanted to do everything I could right by her as we parted, because I still care about her and feel I was the one largely responsible for the dissolution of our marriage. That seems to have paid off (and avoided dealing with those pleasant lawyers and their fees).
Welcome, Athens. I know the feeling. These forums have become sort of addictive for me. I must...stop...posting...now, and get some work done. I've got a leaky water heater that is most gratingly calling out my name.
What are you doing in Kabul? For some reason I have the impression you're in the medical profession. Or maybe you're a soldier of fortune...?
I think one of the things to look out for is if they live in a remote area. People that live in such isolated environments tend to get rather desperate, and will say almost anything for companionship. Another warning sign is a twisted sense of humor (which is often a symptom of living in such an area, since it helps alleviate the pain of loneliness). Changing one's main profile photo, particularly in a self-flattering way, can be an indication of deviousness. Also, people wearing hats or caps may be attempting to cover up a thinning hairline. This kind of individual deserves a special wariness.
Just some observations from my personal experience.
I would. But I'm curious -- would you? My guess is that a lot of people who express a willingness to travel might not follow through on that when the time seems ripe...
I think the whole thing is incredibly shallow. Why, when I check my rating, I just...woah, hold on a minute here...jeez, no, no, it can't be, my rating's slipped .001!!?? Omygod!..
I'll write more after I schedule my emergency plastic surgery...
I wouldn't take it too seriously. Some people have rated my photos a "1" and others a "10." Talk about a range of tastes. I prefer to concentrate on that one girl with good taste who voted "10." Thanks, Sis!
But why are you laughing, A? You wouldn't think it's so funny if you were living on the edge of a cow pasture. I know you're into nature, but at least your chickens have some charm. Try sweet-talking a cow sometime. They just stare with their big brown eyes and never laugh at your jokes or take any of your subtle romantic hints.
Geez, Z. Just what I need, being more unapproachable. Like anyone can find me out here in this 1/2 cow town anyway.... But thanks for being a fan. My only admirers out here make odd "moooing" sounds. At least I assume they're admirers
I think of it this way. There's what I'd call an "Ideal Weight," where you look and feel more or less your best. Your stomach is going to be basically flat or flattish, and you'll have some reasonable muscle tone. Your face will be slim but not gaunt.
"Average" body type would be, roughly twenty to forty pounds more than that, depending on your build. "Few Extra Pounds" might be another 20 - 40 pounds above that. "Overweight," another 20 - 40 pounds.
Pretty arbitrary, no doubt, but just the figures that I approximately use. This last winter, when I weighed 225, I thought of myself not as being "fat" -- because I'd prefer to be kinder to myself -- but carrying a "few extra pounds." I consider my ideal weight to be around 180 (I'm 6 ').
