I'm looking for my "Mr. Right," but just because a guy might have the
qualities I'm looking for, that doesn't make him "my" Mr. Right.

Dahlia and Kohl, aka "Billie" and "The Kid" and Annabelle and Kashmir.

Dahlia is a black lab/pit mix and Kohl is a Golden Ret./something mix.
He's solid black with a black tongue.

Annabelle is a white Persian and Kashmir is a long-haired tuxedo cat.

Well, maybe I'm weird (don't be so quick to agree) but, if I was married
or living with a man, I'd want separate bedrooms.

Don't get me wrong; there'd be plenty of sex and plenty of snuggling,
but, when it comes time to go to sleep, I hate having someone in bed
with me. (If we fall asleep together that's one thing).

But me, being the queen of insomnia, for one thing, it's hard enough to
fall asleep when i'm by myself. But knowing I can't sleep might be
keeping someone else awake (tossing and turning, etc.) makes me sleep
even that much less.

I also like to keep the tv on all night. A lot of people can't tolerate
that.

And, I think each person should have their own private place they can
go, where they can decorate it how they like, and they can go read or
watch what they want to watch or lay down on their own bed, etc.

I have sexual needs, I have romantic needs and I have the need for human
contact/closeness, but ...a little goes a long way. I'd feel
suffocated/smothered cuddling all night. That's just me.

Semantics.

There are tactful ways to go about giving your honest opinion and still
not hurt someone's feelings. You don't have to say, "That looks ugly on
you," but you could say, "I think the blue dress is more becoming on
you," or whatever.

So, it's only hair. It's not her. In my particular case, I HATED it. She
had told me she was thinking about it...her hair was down to her butt
and she literally has enough hair for five people, so I told her, if you
do it, do it with a rinse so that it'll rinse out eventually.

But does she? Noooo! She dyes it a in PERMANENT black. Only way to ever
get it back to its original color would be to cut it and let it grow
out.

Her hair looked like absolute SHI*. She is very pale and she chose the
most raven-black hair. I'm not about to sugarcoat my opinion on
something like that just to spare her feelings; she knew up front what
I'd think about it.

Within a week (just as I predicted) she was tired of it and she hated it
herself.

She is very secure in that she knows just because I didn't like her HAIR
does not mean I don't love HER.

We're comfortable being honest with each other and giving our truthful
opinions about our clothes, hair and makeup. And, she respects my
opinion, as I do hers.

I'm certainly not going to say I've "never" lied, but I don't just go
around arbitrarily lying for no reason. I don't tell someone their hair
looks good if I don't think it does. Depending on who the person is, I'd
likely not say anything.

If it was my daughter, I'd say, "What the HELL have you done to your
hair?" I said that the time I came home from living out of state for a
while and came back to find out she'd dyed her beautiful blond hair
Gotchic black. I almost cried.

Now she has her hair a pretty shade of red, which is very becoming on
her, and I tell her that, too.

I don't lie about my age, who I am, what I want, my social status, my
weight, etc., etc.

I don't lie and tell men I like them when I don't like them.

I don't lie in order to spare someone's feelings. If asked my opinion,
I'll give it. If I don't like a dress someone's wearing, I'll tell them,
but I'll likely say, "I like the "blue" one on you better," or something
like that.

Generally speaking, I'm just barebones honest; I can't think of any time
in recent years I've just outright told a lie.

^^^ is one of the most beautiful people I know. She is an amazing woman,
she is.

(Becca, the check's in the mail, as promised).

Actually, I love mostly everything about being single ...about 90
percent of the time.

That's cool but, for me, God is an integral part of all that,
too.

I don't put friends on my friends' list unless they're truly a friend.
And in order to be truly a friend, some level of conversation and
getting to know u has to take place. I don't put people on my friends
list just because they want to make it appear as though they're really
popular or whatever.

I'm pleading the Fifth on that one.

Joshy, check out my "expect to be impressed" thread. I think you
probably can relate to it..

hehe

Unisex, Unicycle? Fine. I'm drawing the line at Unicorn, though.

Well, yes, lulu... but....what does she do? Straddle it? I mean, face
it..the hole the urine goes into is significantly larger than the one it
comes out of...God, I hope it is anyway.

Good thing for you I don't drink anymore.

I don't like getting my ass wet when I sit down to pee.

(And what's worse is using a woman's restroom and having that happen.
Now, I ask you, how does a WOMAN get a toilet seat wet?
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!)

I always related the Trinity to the egg analogy.

(Which reminds me. I just ate God. Well, Jesus, anyway.)
