I think parking tickets etc are civic offences, not criminal ones... ooops! Was that pedantic?
A criminal offence? Nope. I don't care how much he's going to change, I'm not interested in being a man's social worker, shrink, mommy or nanny. I want a man I can trust and respect.
Thanks Sommer - I was brave in the kitchen with the Balsamic and subsequently congratulated in the dining room! I'm off to try your recipe now, Cuspo. Sounds scrumtious... and I happen to know someone who adores crepes!
Chaotic week and I was looking at a quiet week next week until late this afternoon but just dropped by to say hello to everyone...
Two things: I know that these here C21st strawberries are huge and tasteless because they're all GMd out of their tiny minds, but why can't you hull them?
Oh right, so it's another morning tidying up, putting old engine bits in the bin, mending the shorts, and washing up while the bear is in the shower, then?!
Oof. Place is now very clean, furniture standing to attention, cats retreated to top of wardrobe, dog under bed, etc. Yes, it's greedy innit? That's always been my problem - believing that one day I'd meet someone WI and with clean knashers.
Oh boy, ain't that just the truth? To be polite and make things clear, it is clearly stated on my profile that my IM is switched off and guess what - they still try! Especially those overseas youngsters...
And yes, we've exchanged three flowers so it's time to go to hotmail and can we meet up real soon in a dodgy flophouse some place...
The thing is we all judge by looks really - which is why conversation is so important! And wit, of course.
Personally, I'm not keen on male fashion which makes the wearer look like they've tried too hard. (Is he vain?) I like men in large soft cotton shirts, slightly baggy trews... that sort of thing. Nothing too conscious, nothing too deliberate. Everything clean and sort of ironed (not too much - is he gay?!) and proper personal hygiene: clean person, properly shaved that morning, clean hair but not too styled (sweet disorder is yummy) reasonably kempt hands and nails, scrupulously clean teeth (is he a total slob? am I going to catch gingivitis?) Rings are out, especially wedding ones... glasses are ok, medallions are blurk, belts are okay as long as they're not jokey, and don't have big buckles... Too fit is weird (does he spend ALL day in the gymn?) A bit overweight is good (bet he cooks!) and...
Thing is none of the major men in my life have looked much like that at all... which is why the old conversation and wit is so important!
Wouldn't mind meeting someone who looked like that though. Especially with the wit etc...
Ooops. I'm shutting up now. Wordi is off to hoover up and calm down!!
Just wanted to say I don't think discussing fashion is offensive! Having laugh about it isn't either! Sorry but it's only the same as discussing pop music, celebrities, the contents of magazines and all the rest...
Judging a person for their appearance is an entirely different thing and whether or not one should/shouldn't judge by looks is also an entirely different thing!
Personally I do judge by looks. I wouldn't touch a Speedo-wearing hombre with a barge pole. Not even his barge pole. On the other hand, if afore-mentioned hombre subsequently turned out to be a brilliant utterly fascinating man like say... Tom Stoppard... well I would be only too pleased to eat a gigantic slice of humble pie! (Before getting him a stylist and a personal shopper natch.)
I don't recommend the staples. It was so bloody annoying I smoked about two packs a day until I got them taken out. As for the excuses... well you know how it goes:
Q "How many psychiatrists does it take to change a lightbulb?"
A "Only one, but the lightbulb really has to want to change!"
When you really want to stop, you'll just let those cigarettes go...
You sound really down, but I don't think the answer is to wait for someone else. Go out and find Miss Right! Go to the gym, the library, the cinema, singles nights, evening classes, whatever... get out there and smile at some gals. Ask them for coffee, carry their gym shoes, hold the door open. Listen to them, see if you have anything in common. Bet you'll be mobbed and within days you'll be smiling again...
Tammy, I promise never to mention that stoopid eyebrow pencil again! (Found it in the dog basket...) I'm posting an angel to keep you strong and safe...
My alter ego is exactly that - a long-leggedy international woman-of-mystery and spy. Wears stockings, a beret and not much else... always has perfect eyebrows.
Cold chicken korma eaten standing up by the stove with a wooden spoon - perhaps some dhal on the side, a spoonful of raitha, some homemade quince chutney... or even a leftover onion bahji if there is one...
Luckily the household's yoof no longer gets up early enough to nick the leftover curry before I roll out of my pit.
