True Mike,
but what's the point if one is going to refuse to even meet unless
they're satisfied with whatever "proof" ? I'd advise all the caution
especially to ladies meeting someone from online but for guys too but
half the fun of making online friends is the chance to meet them IRL
someday. That means just friends as well as meeting for a relationship
purpose too. Hell I've met people in real life that weren't from online
who I thought were ok for a while only to find out later they were total
whack jobs! I for one would hate to be cooped up in the house and never
meet any of my friends either in the real world or from online just
because I might run into someone who wasn't 100% who they seemed to be
at the start.

Gryph, tell the truth, you wish you were your dog cause then you'd be
able to lick your own ? LOL just kiddin dude!
Sluggo, we have weirdos here?!?
htfude, to some point you may be right but one has to trust a little and
be prepared for some disapointment. What the heck are you doing here if
you're not ready to trust at all that someone is who they say they are
or looks like their pics? Sure it's more about making friends and then
there's the hooking up but I think most of the disapointment one gets in
actually meeting someone from online is a product of ones own
unrealistic expectations.

Cheaper to get one of those small programs that put like a caller ID on
your computer. They pop up and tell you that you have a call coming in,
who it is and let you answer or shunt them to a message. Most of them
let you answer right through the computer and you just talk into your
mic and don't even have to get offline. I used to use one before I got
DSL and now cable but couldn't tell you the name. Just Google for
"taking phone calls while online"

Dunno if she will (she said she has sharing issues LOL) but I'll tell
her.
I told her and she said what difference would it make? You don't answer
when she calls LOL

We haven't spoken Cat so not really lookin to get your # (but never
opposed to gettin a pretty gals # either :P) but in truth I'm dead
serious..... I have a LOAD of online friends after being on for so many
years and it's not real cool to have the cops knock on your door
checking on you just because you fried your PC (That's happened to me)
We all have friends we're close to here and others we may not know well
but have come to know through their posts and it's stressful wondering
if something bad has happened to one of them.

Maybe we should set up a network where each of us has given our phone #
to at least ONE person we can trust on here and if sumthin happens that
one person can let the others know that a "missing person" is either ok
or that sumthin bad has happened? I know at least one who has my # and
they'd know if I was ok or if I croaked (a distincr possibility with
some of the crap I'm dealing with) but at least it would let my friends
know here what happened to me if I disapeared. Face it we all have
friends here we worry about if they go missing more than a day or two.

Mine will be to give up smoking but it'll have to wait until they get my
spine fixed. Even my Dr told me there was no sense adding the stress of
trying to quit with the pain and paralysis going on that I've been
fighting. She said once they get some of the spinal troubles taken care
of she'll be happy to help me kick the habit.

Don't worry about gettin B*tchy, how nasty could ya be compared to some
of the posts and replies that get put up here? If ya think it'll make
you feel any better Dr Mills writes ya a prescription.......
Vent away, and take as many chocolates as needed to make ya feel better.

In for a bit

A successful businessman flew to Vegas for the weekend to gamble. He
lost the shirt off his back, and had nothing left but a quarter and the
second half of his round trip ticket -- If he could just get to the
airport he could get himself home. So he went out to the front of the
casino where there was a cab waiting. He got in and explained his
situation to the cabbie. He promised to send the driver money from home,
he offered him his credit card numbers, his drivers license number, his
address, etc. but to no avail. The cabbie said (adopt appropriate
dialect), "If you don't have fifteen dollars, get the hell out of my
cab!" So the businessman was forced to hitch-hike to the airport and was
barely in time to catch his flight. One year later the businessman n got
in the first cab in the line, "How much for a ride to the airport," he
asked? "Fifteen bucks," came the reply. "And how much for you to give me
a blowjob on the way?" "What??? Get the hell out of my cab!!" The
businessman got into the back of each cab in the long line and asked the
same questions, with the same result. When he got to his old friend at
the back of the line, he got in and asked "How much for a ride to the
airport?" The cabbie replied "fifteen bucks." The businessman said "ok"
and off they went. Then, as they drove past the long line of cabs, the
businessman gave a big smile and thumbs up sign to each driver.

A man is in a garden, when a ladder comes down from the heavens. He
hears an unearthly voice saying : "Climb the ladder to success". So he
goes up, and after a while, there's a really ugly woman on a landing on
the side of the ladder. She says to him : "Fuck me or climb the ladder
to success." He thinks about it, but decides he rather have success. He
goes up, and sees two quite nice women sitting on a landing on the side.
"Fuck us or climb the ladder to success." He thinks about it, but
decides its not worth it. He goes up again, and there are three really
beautiful women on the next landing. "Fuck us or climb the ladder to
success." He thinks about it, but realises that the women are getting
much more beautiful, younger, and are increasing in number as he climbs
the ladder. So he climbs the ladder, and reaches the top. Theres a young
man sitting there. "Hi, I'm Cess."

nuns in the church?? the priest roars back ; "no dopey, there's no
midget nuns in the church, there never was and never will be midget nuns
in the church now shut up and sit down"
the priest continues with the mass after a short while the priest hears
a taunt from the back of the church, "dopey fucked a penguin dopey

Here are two farmers sitting in the fields.
The first farmer says to the second farmer "Y'know, you really should
plant those fields" The first farmer replys, "I can't. They both have
sentimental value."
"Sentimenal value?" askes the second farmer.
"See, that field over there is where I lost my virginity."
"Oh, I see."
"And that second field is where her mother watched"
"What?? Her mother watched??? What did she say??"
"BAA"

The Lone Ranger and Tonto were sitting in a bar when a cowboy walks in
and announces, "Who owns the white horse?" "I do" says the Lone Ranger.
"Well, it looks likes it's really overheated. It's foaming at the
mouth." So the Lone Ranger says, "Tonto, go outside and run around
Silver as fast as you can to cool him off." A little while later,
another cowboy walks in and announces "Who owns the white horse?" "I do"
answers the Lone Ranger The cowboys says "You left your injun running!"

One day, a father and his son were walking in the woods on their way
home when suddenly they came upon two dogs mating in the brush. "What
are they doing, Dad?" asked the small child, staring intently at the
scene before them. "They, um, they're making a puppy" said the boy's
father, as he grabbed his coat and moved him along quickly. A few nights
later, the little boy woke up and got up from his bed to go to the
bathroom. As he walked by his parents' room, he heard strange noises
coming from within. He opened the door and was surprised to see his
father on top of his mother, moving in a strange way. His father looked
up and saw his son - instantly, both mother and father froze. As the
boy's mother grabbed for the sheets to cover herself up, the father got
up and hustled his son out of the bedroom. "What were you doing to Mom,
Dad?" asked the little boy, who still wasn't sure what he saw. "Your
mother and I were, well, we were, ah, trying to make a baby - you know,
maybe a brother or sister for you" said the boy's father, now confident
that this would satisfy his son's curiosity. "Oh" said the little boy,
thinking hard for a minute. "Y'know Dad, when you go back to bed with
mom, turn her over, please - I'd rather have a puppy".

3 women were sitting around one night talking about their boyfriends
when they decided they would give their men nicknames based on kinds of
soda. The first woman said: "I'm gonna call Tom "Mountain Dew" because
he is as strong as a mountain and always wants to do it!" The second
woman said: "I'm gonna call Bruce "7-Up" because he has seven inches and
it is always up!" The third woman said: "I'm gonna call my man "Jack
Daniels." The other two women responded: "Jack Daniels? But that's a
hard liquor." The third woman replied: "THAT'S MY LEROY!"

A man walks into a very posh Rodeo Drive furrier with a gorgeous blonde
on his arm. "Show the lady your finest mink!" the guy demands. So the
owner goes in the back and comes out with an absolutely gorgeous
full-length coat. As the blonde tries it on, the furrier sidles up to
the guy and discreetly whispers, "Ah, sir, that particular fur goes for
$65,000." "No problem! I'll write you a check" "Very good, sir," says
the furrier. "Today is Saturday. You may come by on Monday to pick it
up, after the check has cleared. " The man and the woman leave. On
Monday, the man returns. The furrier is outraged: "How dare you show
your face in here?! There wasn't a single penny in your checking
account!" "I just had to come by," he grins, "to thank you for the best
damn weekend in a long, long time!"

A young man wanted to purchase a gift for his new sweetheart's birthday,
and as they had not been dating very long, after careful consideration,
he decided a pair of gloves would strike the right note: romantic, but
not too personal. Accompanied by his sweetheart's younger sister, he
went to Nordstrom and bought a pair of white gloves. The sister
purchased a pair of panties for herself.
During the wrapping, the clerk mixed up the items and the sister got the
gloves and the sweetheart got the panties. Without checking the
contents, the young man sealed the package and sent it to his sweetheart
with the following note: "I chose these because I noticed that you are
not in the habit of wearing any when we go out in the evening. If it had
not been for your sister, I would have chosen the long ones with the
buttons, but she wears short ones that are easier to remove. "These are
a delicate shade, but the lady I bought them from showed me the pair she
had been wearing for the past three weeks and they were hardly soiled. I
had her try yours on for me and she looked really smart. "I wish I was
there to put them on for you the first time, as no doubt other hands
will come in contact with them before I have a chance to see you again.
"When you take them off, remember to blow in them before putting them
away as they will naturally be a little damp from wearing. "Just think
how many times I will kiss them during the coming year. I hope you will
wear them for me on Friday night. All my love. "P.S. The latest style is
to wear them folded down with a little fur showing."

The hat and boots are nice lookin and can be stylish but there's sumthin
about the backside of a gal that actually rides..... doesn't matter if
she's big or small back there but it seems to me the act of riding is a
different sort of workout for the ass and thighs and there's nothin like
the backside of a gal who's done some saddle time!
