You bet they were. I hope I like them......

Either way--like or dislike--you will now need 2 pairs. One favorite pair, one backup (plus it ought to be less expensive for the 2nd pair if you use the recent prescription fairly soon)

What would I do without you?

I must have missed it...

something else that is creative, sharp, witty, and probably more to your liking.

Are you trying to break up with me?

When new guys with no history in the forums post a thread asking women to contact them...what's your reaction?

The reverse. Just trying to show that I am learning a tiny bit about you.

blue oyster cult? good music.. except that Godzilla song....

Nope but I would be impressed by the audacity...lol

Listen and learn, boys. This is what scores you points....

Okay....earlier...when I cut loose and posted my answer to what men want. Do you recall?

Your answer mystified me. So, I took time to study, to look back, to find out what you might mean with "obvious" remarks.

It was most definitely NOT sarcasm. I was truly moved and made speechless by your response.

Unless you were being sarcastic. In that event.....I was totally being super sarcastic right back.

Good. That's what I was wondering. I don't know what is going on. (Duh?) So, I posted this thread to find out---does it actually succeed?
If it impresses you, then it succeeded, even if you do not contact them. You remember being impressed, on another occasion.

***hmmmmmmmmmm***

I've got a lot more to learn.
No. I was not being sarcastic. I was letting it out, for real...and I don't know why. It just took hold and poured out. Fast!

Anyway, I am just today starting to really loosen up and let something out that's growing in there.

It's because of that thread about Hot Mingle Women, and then the other one, that followed shortly thereafter....um...

So, when she asked what men want, with no BS, and I shied away from responding a couple of times, it just had to be let out. It's all together in a way that I'm just (right now) analyzing.

Don't stop.

Do you know that you've got hypnotic eyes?

"Don't stop" right now...or in general, unleashing the expressiveness that is coming out?

I don't know if egotistical is the word. It just strikes me as inconsiderate.

I can't think of any other group that I would go into then turn around and say to a select group please go to another location because I don't want to talk to you in front of the rest of them.

Especially since it is hardly necessary. If you participate in a few forums then write a simple discreet email to those people you find more interesting you can invite them anywhere you think is suitable.

If you want to start threads that direct a question to a certain age frame or gender you are welcome to try that. I seriously doubt you will avoid comments outside your intended group but you don't have to acknowledge them.

Fair warning when people take that tact it usually isn't well accepted by the dominant group in the forums. You can pretty well expect to be eaten alive and for some this is far from the first time they have snacked on someone who made themselves a target.

***sigh***

And that's how things are growing. I saw your response and I thought about what I had written.
It was almost eerie. I read it three or four times, trying to understand and sense the link to the world of women. How did I know those things? What is happening? How did it effect readers? It almost was like a Thread Killer, a hot potato, but it was just as easy as breathing...and nowhere to breathe!

So, now...now I am going to keep writing poems, because that used to shape and release and train these things to do what needed doing.
