bored?... let's see what we can do about that :)
>Howdy Ric..
>
Hi... ready or not, here I come... that is, I am entering my mind and opening the doors and setting the inhabitants free (something I don't often do here)... never know what's gonna pour out...
>Yep.. I am lucky.. and yep.. I look, mostly now adays cause the push
>me to *go out* and don't want me to remain lonely..
>
gotta push or the computer and house lull me into complacency... dangerous place, that com-place-ncy...
>we talk about the group.. actually and I ask their opinion for the kids
>who post here sometimes..
>
LOL... at first I read that to say you ask your kids for their opinions of us... now that would make for some intersting reading LOL (hope you're laughing with me :)
>And in my opinion "If the man is lucky enough to find us and mesh with
>us as a whole.. " he is gonna find alot of love here and that is reality..
>not fantasy.. and I seek no less than a partner.. no more either..
>
sure of yourself, are ya? (any friend of mine must overcome my incorrigible childinside who teases first and asks questions later... this parentheses is a message from the slightly more mature me who will put childinside out to play elsewhere or in the corner if necessary, so you do have a way to stop the child if you wish... and now that you know, I'm closing this parentheses and letting the child back out to play... of course any of the aspects of my personality {which are all unified in person, but can play freely as different facets in words, just in case you were wondering} reserves the right to pop out with whatever might be lurking in any corner of my mind at virtually any time... kay? :)
>As for my kids.. 2 of them.. are rather experienced due to mom's
>choice of career to Unix shell use and how valuable being real on even
>the internet is.. always be true to thine self..
>
Unix shell gives you lots of access and abilities far beyond the mortal Bill Gates driven machine from what I hear... feel free to educate me from square one anytime you have time in email (probably bore the group to death :)
>And I go out dancing.. and I have a wonderful time.. I can dance to
>anything.. but.. I don't morally fit in to the single scene..
>
morals can be an obstacle to fitting in...
ummmm, actually, no, I didn't realize what I just said...
sometimes my innocence in language is hysterical to me...
[extracation process begins]
so you planning on stopping at four? (kids, I really did mean kids)
[re-doubling extracation efforts]
ok, let's talk about your Unix... what's it do?
(yeah, computers are a safe subject, right?)
(wondering if anybody is as appauled (or appetered)
as I am with all this babbling... or is that amused)
(actually, wondering if anybody would admit it publically)
(maybe it's best to move on to the next paragraph now, huh?)
>long term marriage.. didn't date much before him.. out of my generation..
>
an older man swept you out of the cradle?... maybe the looney toons ought to sit down for a while... yeah, ok...
how far along in the healing process are you?
(see... I really can be serious... shut up child)
>but them people are fun too that have been single forever.. sometimes.. as
>long as I do not let myself be sucked into the random pattern I see of
>multiple relationships.. people try.. most are too young .. I am good at
>fixing others up though I find.. just not me...
>
I've legally been single for this lifetime, doubt forever though... my heart's been in a relationship almost since I was born... well, not just one... but just a few... and not until I was about 3... relationships are such simple things... they get complicated when people get involved...
it was really fun chatting with you (really, it was... hope it was good for you too... if it was a little fun for you then that makes it even better :)
honest love, ric
