Littleflower, that's a great idea although it's evening here now so I'll have an evening cocktail.

Artemis, I wonder if adopting some kids in your neighbourhood is an option. I mean, in the metaphorical sense of adopting them. In that way, you would be around people who have children and they may know someone to introduce you to. Just a thought.

Once my boys were grown past needing me, I used to adopt my nieces and nephews for a day to go exploring or shopping or to a movie. Just did it because I loved being around little people who are full of the spirit of life.

Dang Artemis........that's a tough one, for sure............(((((hug))))))

Was the "guy" older or had kids already, maybe grown?

There are many fellows out there looking for exactly what you are.........
and, you are many things, and, good being most of them, I'm sure.....

Keep tryin' pal...........maybe change your "trolling" locations or techniques.......?........sorry to sound crass, but, well, that is the "game"...........

You have so much to offer, I bet "he's" right around the corner.....just keep kissin' them frogs............

I'm feeling a bit down, disappointed at yet another guy who got scared away when I admitted (when asked) that yes, I want children, and yes I have very little time left (am 37-1/2).

One of my friends said I should lie and say no and then tell them I'm on the pill even though I'm not. Not my style...
Better to ask, but then you already knew that.

Your friends are morons.
Good way to have a child and lose custody too.

I've had a few women decide they wanted me to get them pregnant, but never really asked.
Does this happen to other people?

Stop looking so hard, its kinda like trying to have a baby too hard, wont help the situation one bit. (well rrr never mind.)




Relax, take a nice hot bath, pour yourself a nice glass of cognac, set chocolates down on the towel within easy reach, and dreammMMM....

Dream of what he might look like, what kind of qualities you might want. Think of things that you need from a spouse.
If you know exactly what you would like, to love, then release that into the Universe. Then you will have time to focus on you, that you can be yourself fully, not all jumbled up trying to be what every man you meet seems to want.

Then, and only then, will "you" know "YOU", well enough to know when he's standing in front of you.

Good choice. I have a friend who would feel that was an open invitation to murder. No, he wouldn't kill, but he might skip town. It's a nasty thing to do to anyone.

dang GH......

I see a pattern:

you have made yourself indispensable with your vast knowledge and abilities,

and,

your pleasant attitude, combined with gentle, yet humorous personality, makes them want you everywhere, all the time.......

just to be around you........

Thanks all.

Sometimes I just need to vent and be reminded that people care about me so thanks for that! It warms my heart to know that even people I've never met in person can care for me.

I trust that it'll all work out somehow. Just needed to let myself feel bad for a bit. Instead of the bath, Pinemom, I ate cheetos and ice cream and watched silly movies. It worked.

Good morning everyone.

Indispensable, eh, goathead. Yup that's why they love you. Too bad they don't realize that they're driving a nail in their relationship with you. Not sure that you can have fun in Idaho but see what you can find. We'll be waiting here for your report, right beside the blazing fire.

Coffee, anyone?
Yum that candied bacon looks good. Campfire breakfast.

Wonder if ygmir has time to invent a Venting Chamber. Maybe we just need one seat at the end of the bar for venting.

Seems like a bar like ours aught to have one. This is a safe place for letting it rip. We're all ears and our minds turn to solutions quickly. All suggestions and solutions are offered in love and don't really even have to be taken up!

The Bar Volume#2 just opening your mind to the possibilities and the love.

((((((artemis)))))) and (((((((goathead)))))))

DaMule must have loved the cheetos.

There ain't nothing like watching porn and eating cheese doodles, but better if there's someone to share with.

Image What I should do instead of searching for an ice mirror image is ask what your experience has been with ice and looking for a mirror effect. I can't remember having a personal experience of that.

I like this picture. I don't know where it is. Does it look like the underside of a bridge on the right?
