TPK, There's no way I would travel from here to Kingdom Come to meet someone I just met online - even if we both agree it's "it" - for the simple fact the 99% of the time, especially that early into the friendship, most things are usually too good to be true. I might meet someone for coffee or a beer the next day for kicks, but I'm not booking a flight. Then again, maybe I'm just paranoid.
I can't actually see the keg of Bud Light in the fridge, but I have faith that it's there. Then again I could always test my faith and open the lid to prove its existence, but if that happened there'd be no more reason to have faith, and without faith...
Anyway, my roommate and I like to call the keg our girlfriend - when we blow a keg (when it runs dry) we mourn her loss for a minute or so, then throw her carcass into the Explorer and trade her in for a new one.
It took me 7 months to ask a woman if I could meet her - but she lived out of state (and yes, I met her). In another instance, a woman who IM'd me for the first time one day and I made plans to meet for coffee the next. It's totally relative to the situation.
Wait wait wait wait wait...I'd like to revoke my choice - Alice Walton (daughter of the late Sam Walton) is my new choice. I don't have a clue what she even looks like, but she's got $18.5 billion in her pocket. I think I'm in love.
I'd still do 'em, but remarry them? Blech. There's a reason I divorced them in the first place and I'm not going back 'there'. Insanity is defined by repeating mistakes...let someone else deal with them.
Well, it's early in the day, but I'll take a looksies...
My driver's license. $10k. A gold pocket watch. My rubber ducky. Dallas Cowboys' season tickets. The piece of paper with my dream girl's phone number on it with a note from her that says "thanks for last night". A keg of Bud Light. My kids report cards - good, they got all "A"s again. First Class airline tickets to Costa Rica. My retirement papers.
I give Anarqi permission to do whatever he wants, when he wants. I grant him the freedom to be himself at all times - and he does the same for me. That's amore!
Thnx cute, that says a lot about your character. "Twogether" men and women can learn a lot about each other if they actually dig beneath the flesh and find out what makes them really tick.
Ah, this reminded me that when I was dating right after high school my future wife and I used to go make out at a 'haunted' house dubbed "Witch Hazel's" - it was an old abandoned farm house in Indiana. It was quiet there and we needed a place since the cops already kicked us out of the park we used to frequent. Anyway when we realized she was pregnant we also came to the conclusion it probably happened there, at the haunted house. That fetus turned teenager is still haunting me to this day...
Straight - hell, even flat. There's nothing, IMO, that beats having hair like that waving over my chest...total turn on. I need a cold shower now, tyvm. Hair's hair, but that's a preference.
I've been saving a couple of weeks now to get new contact lenses; today I walked into Wally World and gave the woman behind the counter my "old" prescription. She asks what store I got them from. I tell her. She says, "Well, THAT Wally World is a 'National Chain' (as opposed to???????????), I'll have to call over there." She calls. My prescription is 'expired' and I need to get a new prescription. Contacts, according to Wally World, need to have their prescriptions renewed every 365 days, not the 381 days that I was at, so now I need to spend the extra $55 to get a new prescription so I can see again. God bless America.

Clawing is fine, but I'd rather see their captors hands/wrists) tied together, fighting for the freedom that only I can grant. There is satisfaction in repression, at times...
I've always wanted a Devo Energy Dome ("red hat")! Some years I stay home and pass out candy, others I go get candy (I can do that since I'm short and no one knows the child behind the mask). The years I do go out I usually put a full kettle of candy on the doorstep with the note, "take one, but I'm watching you";) I've NEVER run out of candy that way, even when it was overflowing.
Still might be early in the season for this thread...not for me of course. Gonnna go play frisbie with son and friend, I'll be back in a few - I'd love to hear some cool Halloween stories too:)
So what's up for All Hallow's Eve? Plans yet?? Dressing up??? As what???? Favorite things to do????? Need more question marks??????
I always dress up and I always go as myself - my inner self, the Who I feel I Am. I've been to Salem for Halloween (it rocks!), but it's not budgeted this year, sigh (2000 miles with gas prices as the are was not forseen). My roommate and I are planning on throwing a bash this year, hopefully going to canopy the entire backyard and have some fun. We've got a duel "kegerator" and a FULL liqour cabinet, so that should take some of the edge off...you??????? (that's 7 Q marks for those counting)
What do women want from men? Here's my synopsis...
What women want: Emotional support. Someone who, when she's having a bad day, shuts up, listens, and agrees. It doesn't matter if you think she's full of crap, or if you can't believe she's crying over a co-worker getting a longer lunch because he's male. Shut up, listen, and agree - period. Someone with drive...with ambitions. Someone, who after a year, isn't going to come home from work, grab a beer (or make her do it), and watch t.v. in the other room while waiting for her to make dinner. If she has to ask you several times when you plan on cutting the grass or when you will be getting that raise at work, she's already got her eyes open for a better "opportunity". Attention. She wants someone who gets to know "her", and is interested in what she has to say. They don't want someone who says "I'm busy", or "later". Drama. Despite what you hear, women love drama. Look at t.v. today; learn to know what she likes. A lot of the time it's family or friends - feed it, encourage it. You don't have to personally get involved in her drama but ask questions, get her brain thumping harder. She'll love you all the more. Well, that's a couple of that things that women want (in my experience anyway), hopefully they'll be able to speak up and either flame me or take it from here, and not say "honestly, cuddling" etc. Meat and bones, women, meat and bones. Let's hear it.
I don't mind having my message recreated (as dilusional as it may be), just not word for word. If I were Rodney, I'd have serious issues with Hallmark and their affiliates.
Interesting, Casey Whilson wrote the exact same poem...you may want to contact the website and let them know about the plagiarism, I can send you a link.
I did the full custody thing with my children for almost seven years when their mother and I divorced. I had a full time job and like a lot of you had to play the role of both mother and father (my youngest wasn't even two yet).
I moved into a new place, befriended my neighbor who's kids were my kids ages, and we started swapping babysitting services. We didn't keep track of who had the kids for how long, there was never a "you owe me", we just did what we needed to do for sanity. It gave me time for dating or just getting away. I know what single moms are going through, but where there's a will, there's a way.

RE: how long should you wait
TPK,There's no way I would travel from here to Kingdom Come to meet someone I just met online - even if we both agree it's "it" - for the simple fact the 99% of the time, especially that early into the friendship, most things are usually too good to be true.

Then again, maybe I'm just paranoid.
