Or how dumb Brits are... They think Ireland is part of Europe... DUH..... I dont recall such a thread! Irish people think they are part of Europe because they know all Irish people are incontinent. He didn't go once in my bed when he was here.  Thats because he put the condom on backwards and didnt know if he was coming or going ive done that but all that happened was i got a girl preganant and had to push her down the stairs. thats all. jk but seriously i had to take a coathanger to her. Thats just wrong. Knitting needles work better |

hahaha.... perhaps you should work on another book! im jking. ever get a girl to do you laundry? Well, I AM working on another book, sort of. Actually several at once. And no, I never got anyone to do my laundry. There have been a few offers, but always with "strings" attached.... Man, you should be workin' on a screenplay . . . or play. You got talent (not sure about creativity yet as I've not read your book) and you have a "cult" following. Get help. I betcha can't ask (prolly one of your ploblems?) |

So, Lex, I'd like to hear your take. Whadya think? What's your good, bad, and ugly? After 15,000 posts -- The good: More great people here than on all of the 14,232 other sites I've tried put together. REAL people, friends, people I have come to know over two years, people I have exchanged e-mails and IMs and phone calls and even some packages with. People who are supportive and understanding and surprisingly tolerant of someone with radically opposing views. Encouragement. People who are quick with a kind word when I'm having a bad day. This isn't my typical expectation of a dating site, two years in. The bad: Still haven't run across anyone remotely compatible in a "dating" sense. The self-proclaimed "interested parties" are always far enough away that there's no realistic chance of pursuing things -- (safety in numbers? -- but I say there is safety in distance -- a project for a future mathematician) -- the locals sign up and then turn to pillars of salt (or giant bottles of beer) and are never heard from again. The ugly: I see -- still -- too much rudeness, cliquishness, insensitivity....we are a community, and a community is a living thing, evolving and growing and changing, and there are even now some who dwell on the past -- the "good old days" -- longing for what was, in a smaller, more manageable (?) venue, a past that even THEN was lamented as horrific by those who went even farther back. Is this the inevitable cycle? We are doomed to repeat a lamentation for what WAS and can never be again? And to have those who come after us do the same? And so on, for all eternity? Where is the ability to absorb the NOW, the TODAY, the "it is what it is" of the moment, and bask in it, as imperfect as it may be? Change is not always bad. Many times, change is all that keeps us going. |

15,000 posts -- milestone or testament to the inefficacy of a pseudolife? Told you, I was right behind you, adj. I only wish it could have occurred under better circumstances. We are glad you are here...whatever it means!

Man, you should be workin' on a screenplay . . . or play. There have been some suggestions that "Moving Day" could be made into a pretty decent movie. And also a couple of the short stories from the second book. I'm not adverse to the idea. You got talent (not sure about creativity yet as I've not read your book) and you have a "cult" following. Get help. I betcha can't ask (prolly one of your ploblems?) Absolutely. I am no good at asking anybody for anything. Seven years training in psychology has left me entrenched with the mentality that I am everyone's counselor. |
