On The Lighter Side

“I said I forgive her, I've just been feeling kinda' sensitive about this particular subject for the last couple wks.”

“Joy you have to remember that newgirl's situation is about as far removed from yours as can be. Where you are praised every day for having a beautiful little child, newgirl is looked at quite differently because she has a beautiful little child. People don't think before they speak and those snap judgements hurt deeply. And by the way, don't offer your husband's help to your single mom friends because your husband probably has other ideas about what kind of help she really needs. (sorry, that's not a direct comment to you and hyper, just me blowing off steam)

And newgirl, I'm sure it was a very bad thing that I did, but my friends and I had a ball - we laugh about it still!”

“"small, skinny girls w/ visible pelvis bones" works too”

“Again, thank you Twigeater! It is so true. People assume I didn't grad. from HS or that I don't attend college. They think I am a sleep-around or that I didn't practice or educate myself on birth control. They assume I live off the "system" or that I'm easy. Joy, be thankful for you and Hyper. People can be pretty mean without that ring!”

“LeSubtil, I might be your type! HeHeHe”

“Look at what you started newgirl. Unabashed flirting! I love it! LOL!”

“Flirting is the spice that keeps people alive and on their toes. Haven't ya' ever seen two old people flirt? Adorable.”

“aaah, newgirl, hon, I AM one of those old people;-)”

“Pamster, you need to flirt more. You won't feel so old. When I say old I mean like 75, 80.”

“Oh you are making me laugh today newgirl.”

“Glad I could be of service, Pamster. I just want everyone to feel good about themselves and have as much fun posting as I do. This site is a little addicting and I happen to be one of those people w/ time and free net to burn.”

“Flirting is so much fun, Pamster. I always went out with older women when I was younger. Now the older women are younger. Age doesn't matter too much, but I do like a woman who is comfortable with herself, and self-assured not egotistical.

Kleetn-boy, you gonna get yourself in trouble with the lawyers down at Mattel. They wouldn't DARE take responsibility for my mind. And my body is by Godiva Dark Belgian Chocolate icecream.”

“Somebody say Godiva Dark Belgian Chocolate Ice Cream?!? yum!!
>:D
heheheh
btw Arcie, is that a handlebar mustache? muahahaaa”

“Nope, but I gots ears for grabbin'. Yeeehaw!”

“Arclite, honey, baybee, you sensitive, new-age kinda guy, I wasn't directing that comment at you. But since you took offense, if the shoe fits...”

“Godiva . . . give it up! YumCity!”

“Newgirl, maybe you didn't catch my posts to you on the other threads. If it helps you any let me tell you that my last roommate before I got married was a single mom who had never been married. One of my very good friends was also a single mom raising 3 boys on her own. Their father is a deadbeat dad who couldn't care less about them. My husband was a single dad who raised his son for the first 7 years of his life before we got married. Does that help? I was not putting you down or judging you? It was really a question of whether your crush on your prof. resulted in your current situation and that is why you were warning (whoever) not to make the same mistake by taking a job with a prof. that you are drooling over. Never did I make any of those judgements that you seem to have attributed to me. I think you are tagging other peoples judgements onto me. I'm sorry for whatever crop you have to listen to. Geez. I have even done you-know-what outside of marriage a time or two...I hope you won't condemn me for it!”

“Kleetn, nothing you could say would offend me. You're way too funny for me to take offense. Funny face, funny beliefs, funny taste in dresses....

I'm commin' back to Washington to do the Bailey Range Traverse in the Olympics some day. I'd really enjoy hiking with you, kleetn. I like your style. But I ain't givin' you no mustache ride!”

“Newgirl... I read MukTuk's original question just the way she explains it. Sympathetically wondering how important the Prof. story was in your life, particularly if he was the Dad. I didn't see any judgement or dissapproval in her post.”

“No way, arc. I could never hike with someone like you. You have terrible taste in music, movies and dresses.”

“Could we go if I promise to return my Britany Spears albums? I'm not sure I can part with my Ernest movies. "Ernest goes to Camp" is a classic. And how about that Adam Sandler? Tell me, with a straight face, that he's not a comedic genius. How dare you insult my taste in dresses! I've got a cute little number that goes perfectly with my new pumps. It wouldn't look good on you, though. You've got to have the legs for it.”

“Newgirl, your great. I think that people who pre judge other people have there own problems and don't want to do anything about them. They try to divert attention away from them. I know and, in the past, have dated single moms and it was never an issue. I like kids, love being a Dad and wouldn't change it for anything in the world. Having my son in my life has given me a new, higher level of happyness. Everything in life happens for a reason. Keep up the good work!”

“-strong charater, confident
-cares about his body/health, but not obsessive
-goes out of his way to be a gentleman
-physically - taller than me, I like chests (not hairy), nice butts, mustache/goatee and strong legs. (cowboys are eye candy!!!)
-Be able to create sexual tension - anywhere - with just a look.”

“- has an engaging smile and wonderful eyes
- can be silly, but is ok with romance too
- occasionally thinks 'deep thoughts' (just enough to where she's not wandering around pointlessly)
- is open-minded
- likes the outdoors”

“MukTuk, I caught your posts. I said I forgive you. I've just been super sensitive about this for the last couple of wks. I was advising DeathMarch on this, because the sexual tension was too much to bear for me and I was half joking. Nobody has to worry about though, the father is not my prof.”

“Whew! I thought I was gonna have to change my name to WickedWitchOfTheMidwest! ;o)”

“Did I hear body by Godiva? Mustache rides and dark chocolate! I MUST be in heaven! Or is that lust? ;-)

newgirl and MukTuk, glad you two could kiss and make up:-) I love it... Wicked Witch of the Midwest. That's a mouthful for a nickname!”

“I think it is lust, Pamster. Godiva makes me lusty! HeHeHe”

“Is a mustache a requirement to give rides?”

“Le Subtil, I do not discriminate;-)”
