Okay... another bad joke....

Union Rules and Hookers:

A dedicated Teamsters union worker was attending a convention in Las Vegas and decided to check out the local brothels. When he got to the first one, he asked the Madam, "Is this a union house?"

"No," she replied, "I'm sorry it isn't."

"Well, if I pay you $100, what cut do the girls get?"

"The house gets $80 and the girls get $20," she answered

Offended at such unfair dealings, the union man stomped off down the street in search of a more equitable, hopefully unionized shop. His search continued until finally he reached a brothel where the Madam responded, "Why yes sir, this is a union house.

We observe all union rules."

The man asked, "And if I pay you $100, what cut do the girls get?" "The girls get $80 and the house gets $20."

"That's more like it!" the union man said.

He handed the Madam $100, looked around the room, and pointed to a stunningly attractive blonde.

"I'd like her," he said.


"I'm sure you would, sir," said the Madam. Then she gestured to a 92-year old woman in the corner, "but Ethel here has 67 years seniority and according to union rules, she's next."

Thanks... actually... the people I've met here seem nice... I like that it's adult... but not looking-to-get-laid....

it has been a great way to see what other people are doing... and knowing that I'm "not the only one going through this" is nice...

strength in numbers, right?

F*ckin' A...F*ckin B...

Not looking to get laid-make sure you put on your profile that you are not looking for an intimate ancounter. I don't know if it keeps the wierdos away...but it can't hurt!

How many flies does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

2...the problem comes in getting them inside the glass bulb!

That is an unfortunate stereotype of a single mom. But it's not one I believe in and I know there are other men out there who feel the same.

Ya just gotta wade through the weeds to get to the blooms...

I hear ya....

Funny thing... I wasn't gonna join any of these dating sites... but my boss kept giving me crap about it at work... so I bit the bullet...

I've dated people here and there. The issue is that I have so little time away from my kids, and I'd hate for them to get attached to someone I dated and then it didn't work out...

And to NOT bring the kids into the picture... at this point means very little time...

it's a catch 22... can't really win either way.

Catch 22-crazy people do not know that they are crazy. You seem to have a very firm assesment of your situation...and you know it won't last forever!

Reality knocked me upside the head at an early age... what can I say?

Lol...

I love my kids... they are my heroes..

But it'd be nice to come home to somebody taller than me...

It's rough. Guys my age are too immature. Guys older than me see me as a little kid...

It's about finding that perfect in-between...

I'm not picky... lol... well, maybe just a little...

But I've gone the route of being with liars, cheaters, abusers... and the lazy, egotistical, drama infested jerks...

Maybe I'm too overbearing. Maybe my independence is too intimidating. Seriously, though... a relationship should ass to your life, not take away from it... we have to be free to be ourselves, with or without someone.

(It's like that old metaphor about holding the sand in an open palm.)

You're right... my kids won't be little forever... but I'm not gonna be young forever, either...

"Love doesn't make the wold go round, but it sure makes the ride worthwhile"...

I just want my piece of the fairytale like everyone else.

Singing..sorry I had to bail...very important phone call.

You sound impatient but at the same time you realize you would rather be alone than spending this time of your life with a man you are not suited to. Jerks, hangers-on, mamma's boys, and perverts...and those who do not meet a height requirement apparently!

You are obviously a patient woman, raising two children. Choose to be patient with love as well. "Kissed enough frogs..." to know that the fairytale ending is not always an option. Emotional awareness is sometimes not as kind as simply knowing something.

I feel you have strengths that you are not even aware of yet...wisdom you have gained from your nosedive into life. You will find what you want.
