Oh, no, I like the look of him, without a beard, he looks like Chandler from Friends (a bit, when he was cute) with a bit of a beard, yes please! But like I said, its hypothetical anyway - it may only be a small counrty, but god do they charge you enough to travel accross it. And so far, apart from a little banter about him having to wear a floral bikini, theres been no real flirtation, he's just becoming a good online buddy.

I really must urge all you girls to stop worrying about excess pounds! Life really is far far far too short. It is bloody hard, it seems like at the moment, i go out to pubs or whatever and guys my own age virtually ignore me, but old blokes can't stop singing my praises. so i'm annoyed at the shallowness of guys my own age. But you have to stop thinking in terms of oh i'm fat, and start thinking 'well, what is good about me?'

Ok, homework, this is a cliche, but trust me it works!

Make a list on a tiny peice of paper, for example,

Bad things about me -

I'm fat.
When I'm nervous I talk total s***
I overthink.

Good things about me -

I have great skin, all over.
I have lovely hair, pretty eyes, and lips that celebrities pay millions for.
I'm actually qite funny, and often very witty, and when i'm not drivelling, i'm intelligent and have a good range of conversation.
At least I do think.
I look nothing like all the other girls.
Money saved on clothing means my collection of perfumes and chandelier earrings has benefited.
When i'm older, i'll still have younger looking skin and less wrinkles, while all these diet crazy super skinny girls will look like deflated balloons stretched over matchsticks with cats asses for mouths.
Hugging me feels really nice.
I've got more style, as I had to learn it.
I don't waste my money on 'womens' magazines, so I can afford more copies of Firefly - when mine get's 'borrowed' (and more earrings).

Whatever you want to write, then keep it in your purse and read it everyday, and whenever you feel low.

I'm determined i'm never going to diet for any reason other than my health (i'm going to have to start loosing it at some point, as I don't want to comprimise my health when i'm old) but things like getting a career going, finding a partner, whatever, i'm going to do them all regardless of the size of my ass.

I've been away for awhile. My , I really missed this.

NV - Don't worry -you sound like you'll be a great dad if & or when it happens. Your concern alreaady shows that. And it's not selfish, it's very realistic. You do deserve a life of your own.And 2 children will prevent that for awhile.At least you know what to expect.
But there are always playgroups & babysitters that can be looked into.
I wish you and the kids all the luck in the verse.
And women do love a man with kids ! Very appealing.

Thanks ladies. Funny thing is MSG, I already have a big stick. Goes everywhere I do. Crafted it myself. Usually sits behind the seat of the truck within reach.

As appealing as it sounds, I'd rather not use the kids as chick magnets. I helped my best friend raise her son for the first two years of his life. Felt very guilty when I'd take him anywhere and the girlies would gather very quick. Ya know, maybe thats why he's my favorite of her three.

Just don't know what to do next. Might have to pull a 13. Nothing gets the blood pumping like executing a plan, does it.

Sounds like there's nothing you can do , so don't fret too much .What will be will be.
Oh my I sound like my grandmother !
Anyway , at least you're no stranger to caring for younglings .The experience will help alot.
And take advantage of your time now, have some fun this weekend .

Nothing does, NV.

And can executing a plan become known as 'pulling a 13?' I'd like to be immortalized!

I would like define "Pulling a 13" as taking a risk despite the possible outcome, (ie. flipping quad, accepting friendship of crush, being Canadian)

Could be worse. Pulling a Joe (thats me) is when you try real hard but end up making things worse. I've accepted the alter ego of Chain Reaction Man. Able to keep the downward spiral rolling with a single action.

On a brighter note: My nephew Memo comes to watch TV with me afterword sometimes. Most of the time I'll have an episode of Firefly playing. He sits on my pillows and watches quietly. Until the beginning of the next episode of course. I love family sing alongs!

Chain Reaction Man please let me introduce you to Blame Woman .
Something goes wrong you can just blame me . Go ahead, I can take it !

On another note, I'd like to say how much I enjoy this thread & all you shiny folk. Been down myself lately & you guys make the verse a little less lonely.

They're a fun lot, the Imponderables! Forsaken are awesome too, although many Forsaken spend much time impondering.

Pulling a Joe, eh? At least it sounds cooler than my actual name...

OK if you want to talk about uncool first names...try mine ( it's Lila) phonetically that would be Lie Lah ( I only do this becaus eI almost constantly have people either mispronounce it or call me Lisa:)
ok I like that. From now on when I do something guts and risky I shall call it pulling a 13

NV- Hey you can mold them to your will and turn them into great little people who grow into great big people just like you! I always love it when I catch my students repeating stuff I say or doing something I taught them:)As for the chick magnetness of babies ..it's unaviodable, unintentional ( on your part) so just consider it a side bennie:)

I choose to rise instead of fall- U2

Homework for y'all. I'm gonna pull a 13 in the next seven days. Several if the opportunity presents itself. Try to do the same and report back. I wanna make that cool little BROWNCOAT's name immortal.

MSG- This may work out. I've already got one hooked, just need to work on the other when she gets a bit older. Lila huh. I like it.

May have to subject myself to a bit of humiliation this weekend in the name of 13.
Little Albatross suggested I live it up a little this weekend. Gonna 13 my ass off. What do I have to lose?

I'm out for the night 'coats. Love you all!
