The ***OFFICIAL*** Friday/Saturday Night Singles' Thread
so true... will work on that when I get home late afternoon! On my profile page I have my personal hunks (and they are MY age, relatively speaking)
If I posted my son's pix, I think the younger gals would like it.. (he is married though)
I suppose with the right person I would rather be with her than do the other things and she would not wish me to give up what I like to be with her all the time either.
Dreaming,right.
Now, now... don't be so hard on yourself.
At least you've gotten out of Houston. ;)
HEY!
Bwa ha ha ha! Just teasin'!
It is impossible to tell your boss what to do. You gave it a good try. I applaud you.
No, you are not dreaming. I want a man who likes being with me and with whom I like sharing time, but I want to be free to do things I like to do and I want him to do the same. Now that we are older, that is acceptable, especially if you have lived on your own for a while after losing a spouse as I have and "he" would have. I have put "he" in quotes because there is no "he" right now.
Not sure exactly what kind of symptoms you are seeing. Is it the clicking or does the mouse seem jumpy. If it is the latter, the following might be of help.
If it is a ball mouse it may be dirty. Open the bottom of it up, take the ball out and you should see some dirt on the little bars in there. Scrape it off with something.
If it is a wireless mouse, make sure the receiver is not hidden behind the monitor as that could interfere with the signal.
If the buttons seem to be sticking, get a new mouse.
I would love a recreational kayak. You came a little late to the party didn't you?
Hmm, wonder why eharmony thinks you're unmatchable :) Have any ideas why?
Did you ever check Allegra's home page to see why she lived in such a bad neighborhood?
I have not experienced either the joy or heartbreak you have had so I can`t say I have the exact same outlook but I think I can understand your feelings.
I'm hesitant to drag anything out of someone's home page unless he/she mentions it first. I guess if I'm offended enough then I might do something like that, but I can't remember doing so in nearly seven years of Freeping. I haven't checked her page, but I have some guesses about what the issue might be. I'll leave it to her to mention it if she'd like.

You don't look at people's home pages? They put stuff on there for you to look. That's why they are there.
Yep, I didn't even know about this thread. I was sitting here awake last night and just had a wild impulse to look at the General/Chat category. I'd bet that I haven't been in General/Chat in months. I've barely Freeped in the past six or eight months. I really didn't pay attention to the times when I started reading and replying.

I've always known that I'm something of an odd duck, so I'm not entirely surprised. I'm not exactly Mr. Excitement, but neither an I a good candidate to be Mr. Domestic and to help raise someone else's kids. The details on all of that would violate the thread rules against saying things that are depressing. In one sense, I had always hoped that I could someday break down, pay the higher costs, and get e-Harmony to find someone for me. Not having that lifeline is frustrating. In another sense, I get a certain validation from knowing that their tests tell me what I've always known. Everyone is unique, but I'm more unique than most. The personality profile was a fairly good description of me, and I'm thankful that they were honest with me and didn't try to sell me something that they couldn't provide. I have some differences with e-Harmony over other ethical issues, but I'm not offended at the rejection as the other poster is.
I would love a recreational kayak.
I've been kayaking a bit over the last few years. Last summer, I had a bad reaction to the heat one afternoon, and I must admit that it scared me into not doing as much as I had in the past. I have a sea kayak that isn't very comfortable for me, and I'm in the market for something more comfortable. I'm willing to sacrifice a little speed to be able to paddle longer without getting leg cramps. I love gliding along a bayou or slow river in the late afternoon or early evening. I take binoculars to do some bird watching and sometimes take a camera. I met a guy last year who did some moonlight paddles, but he had a bad car accident before I could start joining him for those outings. He says the alligators are all over at night but don't bother him. I believe him, but I'm not yet ready to see them all around me when I'm alone. Even he doesn't do these moonlight paddles alone very often. Wow, just talking about it makes me ready for the spring already.

I guess I've run into too many situations arguing with liberals where someone tried to look at some fact in my background and use that fact to argue against my point of view. The perfect example is the "you don't know anything about welfare because you're white" argument. Because I've been so offended at those tactics, I've tried to take people first at the face value of the ideas that they put forward. The result is that I just don't bother to read profiles. I probably should check them out just for fun.
Bill
I'm glad things are going well for you. :-)
I don't look at people's profiles either. I never think to do it. I don't have one, so I never think about it.
I hope one day that you experience the joy that I have had. However, I do hope that you never have to experience the heartbreak. Good luck.
Thank you. I hope they are for you as well. Have a wonderful week. :)
Dallas Cowboys fan? ;-)
