Please explain TheeMachine...

does the picture show countryside of North Carolina...

speaking of drought, we havn't had any rain here for seven months now, just scorching, dazzling, sweltering heat... should I mention Global Warming...

Do you intend to do some Forrest Gumping like him... might improve your general feeling...

should be dawn now in the East Coast, Thumper, here it's high noon...

It must be the LongHairBiker, he is a sort of a mind reader...

BTW, how do you know I'm doctor, nothing mentioned in my profile...

Morning, Thumper, BTW I saw you are from North Carolina... this brings me many years back, to my first LOVE, with whom I planned to get married, she was from North Carolina, Goldsbro... for some reason I conceded, and shattered my American dream... so' I could as well be your senior neighbour in NOrth Carolina...

All the praises to the forum managers, for their commendable spirit of creative enterprise. The Mutual Match is a great idea, I salute you, guys!!!

But as aforementioned, everything goes down to us, members, we are able to muck up every good idea of the blessed moderator... take for instance the transparency and visibilty issues. The Mutual Match was supposed to cure this ache, by a cross-section of mutual interests... isn't it... WRONG!!!

Elggee, you wanna insight, here is an insight for you... EVEN AS NOTICED AND TARGETED FOR DATING, YOU CAN STILL REMAIN TRANSPARENT !!!

I had two ladies in my MUTUAL MATCHING list (that means both interested in me), one never bothered to reply to my most civil mail.

No guarantee against TRANSPARENCY... you see, guys, eventually it all goes down to us... we've to apologise to out dear Moderators for mucking up their noble endeavours...

anyway, the trasparency issue is not a solvable one... but people talk things over even without expectation for practical results...

Dragoness, is that you on the picture... TAKING MYSELF SERIOUSLY ?????????????? Now you make me lafffffff... I'm COMINGGGG...

well, pals, the solution for my transparency problem is underway... I was cordially invited to the Mutual Match compartment, spent a while there selecting (what a joy, ticking NO to all my detractors), and came out with a HEADACHE and a REVELATION !!! Could you believe this, just listen, most of my MUTUAL MATCH candidates implored for one thing: "Please, please, please, just make me laugh, make me giggle, make me chuckle, kill me softly with your Laffffff, I'm getting, where I'm, I'm commmminnnggg... what a laffff !!!"... that's it, got the message, I'm topping off my Make-Lady-Laugh kit, spraying bottle of laughing gas included for emergency... good bye transparency, hello lafffiiing to your craving armssss...

you're welcome Ellgee to contribute your own insights... moaning ain't such...

Ellgee, welcome, you want insights??? that's only in private, people distract the theme to all possible directons...

You really deserve a HUGEEEE hug and a big compliment, guys... the Britons are such PRUDEEEEEssss... I'm a refugee of such priggish prudish British datish sitish... they kicked me out for not coming to terms with my humourrrr, I felt like Lenny Bruce, had a golden moment when booted out... they reported on me, gosh... you are a different planet... bless you, pals

Flattery does not get me anywhere, Mry, ladies have grown out of this... too sophisticated for that, they first check you out for real hair... OK... you should be more understanding to those devoid of such virtues as yours, I really mean it (shall we go out tonight)...

You are cute, Mry, and certainly not transparent, what's your secret, apart from beauty...

without using big words, Thumper, sufferings can arise from psycological inflictions or it may result from general abhorrence at the choas of society... the two things of course do affect each other...

do you mean on the conceptual level, Thumper, or within the psychological sphere...

but let's go back to this site... my two elder daughters found their perfect matches in dating sites... being so community-minded do you know of any perfect (or at least good) matches that evolved in this site...
