Browncoat Bar and Grill- enough whiskey in the world?

This is why I think truth in advertizing ought to apply to people as well. We should all come with a little disclosure packet.

Hmm ok mine would read
Pros- good cook, very loyal, loves to read, good parent, able to support self, reasonably smart, good sense of humor
Cons- Tend to obsess over welfare of child, a bit neurotic when it comes to my mother, easily frustrated, often repeats stories already told, talks too much and too fast, a bit of a know it all,

Yeah, that's a good idea! You're more than 'reasonably' smart, though, you know that right? How many degrees do you have, again?

Ok mine would read
Pros - honesty, genuine interest in how the world works, will geek out, affectionate and loyal, good memory for random stuff

Cons - takes things too seriously, just now getting some handle on career and the future, moderate to serious anxiety issues requiring plenty of reassurance, not always good at staying in touch, will probably be in school for a very long time


Heh, thanks Gee. I have tended to date people I have common interests with. In the fairly distant past I had some first dates with people I couldn't really talk to, and that was basically hellish. Like I said, I don't know how geeks date non-geeks without going bonkers. I just wish I had a way to spot the ones who had some serious unresolved issues (other than the fact that they seem to be attracted to me, and I to them, because that's not too helpful, ya know? )

For a while there I'd swear I got my radar crossed with my gaydar.
Me: "He's cute!"
Reality: "Gay."
Me: "Oooh.. how about that one?"
Reality: "NNnope, Gay with a big G."
Me: "Him?!"
Reality: "You really suck at this, you know?"
Me: "Apparently so does that one too. Frak!"

My disclosure statement would probably need an entire desk drawer all to itself..
(Good thing I let Doctroid think he was signing a warranty. The marriage license was carefully slipped into the stack.)

Well, it wasn't his wife, it was a little more...complicated than that. He said they were engaged, but I suppose that's not really the important part.

I will always love my late husband and remember him with love but it doesn't mean there isn't room to love another man now in the present. Is it possible your analysis of his feelings for his late wife was a little excessive?

Well, I kind of said the same thing. I said that I understood loving and missing someone, but that it didn't mean he couldn't be happy with anything else, ever. He said that he mourned the life they had planned out, and that when he thought about moving forward it still gave him pause because he didn't want to give up more of this fiance. He is clearly far from over it and gives me the distinct impression that in his heart of hearts he wants no one else, and I don't think I can really manage to compete with a ghost. There are some serious unaddressed issues here, issues which have apparently crippled him for years. Maybe I am wrong, but I did have to ask if he was really in a place where he wanted to be dating at all. I'm a very different person. I can't offer him a single thing that they had 'planned.' He seemed more than a little unsure about it. I haven't stopped talking to him, but I smell emotional damage. I know that smell. My most recent relationship was with someone who I had a lot in common with, could easily talk to, formed strong attachments with, and he was seriously traumatized, a trauma that ultimately broke us up. And he appreciated me. He still does. He didn't want anyone else, he had other demons to fight. It only worked as long as it did because he ultimately wanted me around. He's the only lover I've stayed close friends with because he ultimately wanted me around. If someone doesn't truly want me around, I think it's pretty pointless for me to date them, hoping for some change in their emotional landscape. As Lila said, life is too short. I can't waste any more of mine on people who might not appreciate what I have to offer because they actually want something else. I've done that, and it's rubbish.

I feel like I should apologize for taking one of the apparently last decent men available.... but here's the thing.... I'm not sorry and I'm certainly not giving him back

(Nelson voice) Ha HA!

I shall now smile slightly over the fact that my awesome husband(NV) is, at this time, home lovingly feeding our baby breakfast and then reading him stories, cleaning, and doing laundry.

ah man, I wish I had more brain cells to contribute to conversation and often feel incredibly lucky to have met my other half.

Situation does sound crappy for you PR, clearly the men of America are dumb, don't understand how they're not beating a path to your door to do battle for your affection but then I do score highly on the geek scale.

Sleep is getting worse, went to bed reasonably early last night and then had a nightmare that works me up at half four this morning and poor other half when I elbowed her in the ribs. I guess that one goes in the cons column?

Man, my sports teams suck, Bengals are 2-7, Chelsea lost at the weekend and have no cenrebacks, England loosing 2-0 to the French and getting a football lesson to boot.

Going back to try SRs adjusted +3 blanket, with beer - non alcoholic of course.

I'm sure I've missed people out but brain cells work, I aplogise, have a drink on me, the wands waiting at the bar.
