I want a dog of about medium size that actually looks like a dog. I don't want one that's been bred to look like God knows what, like a lot of dogs you see these days. And preferably a dog with similar interests to mine.
I have investigated it. Well I say investigated, but had a brief bash at it would be a better description. I didn't bother with the more troublesome techniques, and that may be why I didn't have any success.
For God's sake, galrads, why on earth do you take any notice of what I say? I just skip through your threads, jump to a hasty conclusion, and hope I'm somewhere near the mark. I'm usually not.
You don't give enough thought to the other side of the story before you condemn something, that's probably a fairer criticism. I don't pay enough attention to the full content of a thread before I say something I shouldn't, if you want something to criticise me for.
It wasn't something I was ignoring; very much the opposite, it was to do with a matter that is never far from my mind, but don't know what to do about. It's something I probably can't do anything about, actually. I'm pretty sure cheese wasn't at the bottom of it.
I can't answer that, but I wish I could. I do sometimes associate some things with other things, while being completely unaware of any logical connection between them, but I don't think I've ever associated a sensory experience with falling in love.
Does the scent of sawn birchwood have any particular significance to you, Tule, or is it one of those things that just is?
I had a dream about a week ago that affected my emotional state for the entire day following it. I forgot the details of the dream quite soon after waking, but I was left with the feelings that I would have experienced had the events in the dream really happened. It made me wonder if this was an incidental side effect of dreaming, or the purpose of dreaming.
I have a vague recollection of a quote that goes something along the lines of, “an unconsidered dream is like an unopened letter (to yourself)”. It might have been Carl Jung, I can’t remember. I spent most of the day considering my dream, but I couldn’t really work out what I was trying to tell myself. That worries me a bit, because I think it might have been important.
If your attitude towards women is really what it seems to be, I doubt if you would get the opportunity of having a long term relationship. You give the impression that you think women owe you something. I'm not saying that's what you really think, but that's how it comes across.
Some men seem to think that because they strongly desire to have a woman, women have some sort of responsibility to accommodate them. It's simple; if you don't like what's available, do without.
I wish I had a dog.
No dog beats me at chess more than once.
