That's a good response Dru because it fits you guys.
I think I would feel uncomfortable if I told someone at work that I was going to a Broadway show with my partner. Most people know what it means, but it doesn't fit me.
Boyfriend isn't a good term either for someone as old as I am. If someone said "are you going to ..... with your boyfriend" I could handle that.
I think "special friend" might work. I just have to find him. Better yet, hope that he finds me
I agree with Robbie. I tell people what I want to tell them.
When they push my buttons I use body language to let them know I don't want to converse anymore on the subject. If they push two buttons I tell them straight out "I'd don't want to talk about it". Call it rude, call it want you want, it's their fault if they are being nosey.
At my office, if someone says, "so how are you doing", I know it's being asked for gossip and I just say fine and walk away. And it's not only the women that gossip....the men in my office are big gossipers and they are attorneys.
When I tell people in the forums about myself, I don't care what they think. It's not important to me that I am liked. However, it is important to me to be accepted with courtesy. I've told some very personal things in the forums only because it fit the thread. If I'm going to answer a question, it has to be the truth, otherwise, why answer. I don't worry about being judged, that's going to happen anyway.
I don't alphabetize the CD's because I have about 375 of them, and very few DVD's, however, I do have them in order of type of music.
I may check the door once after I lock it.
My library is in order of type of book and then each author is alphabetized
And the thing that's important about my library -- you'll find this weird -- is that my books are laying down so I can read the titles. Don't like straining my neck to read a book title.
Well, yes I do take everything off the kitchen counter to make sure there aren't any crumbs underneath. I don't want any crittes hanging out in my kitchen at night when the lights go off. The chrome on my kitchen and bathroom faucet HAS to be shiney without water spots.
Yes, my clothes have to be hanging in the same direction.
And, I hang pants on hangers the way they do in the store with the waistband folder in
