    I'm not looking for anyone. I stopped looking a few months ago.

    That's when you usually find someone.

    Well since I dont leave the house for weeks at a time - I have a choice between my windowcleaner or the grocery delivery guy (and he changes every fortnight)!

    I love Belle & Sebastian. However choosing between the virile specimen in the video and my elderly, but nevertheless charming salt of the earth type (who always uses a fresh bucket of water for my window), I think I'll stick with what I've got thanks.

    And yes Big D I do remember you unmistakably, you said I sounded posh - thank goodness there were no other Brits there to disabuse you of the fact or tell you that I am really common-as-muck rather than Lady Muck.

    How was your flight? and did you feel any better that day?

    the agony of the lack of regular affectionate human touch.

    I got used to that a few years after I got married. It's no big deal any more.

    I like the freedom of coming and going where and when I want. There's no incessant nagging - my remote quickly shuts off any background noise. I enjoy cooking, and I've even learned to enjoy doing my own laundry and ironing.

    The biggest downside to being single is there is no one to share the good things with. I rarely get excited about anything, so when it does happen it would be nice to have someone to share it with.

    Since being divorced, I see the good and the bad.

    Good - I get the entire bed to myself. I can do what I want, don't have to involve anyone else in my decisions. Cooking for one is easier than for two. I made different meals just about every day, now I can make chicken everyday or fish everyday and I am happy. No one to bring you down because they are feeling down. No fighting for the remote.

    Bad - miss the friendship and companionship. No one to laugh at my jokes - yes, I think I have a good sense of humor. Someone to share your experiences with and recall them in happiness. Someone to try out my new dishes. Travel partner. Ah yes, and the sex.

    I miss the dirty, oil all over the place, nasty, slimey, spanking, moaning, neck breaking monkey sex that me and my ex always managed...

    I don't miss the bitching, incessantly about nothing.... I'm never alone, so that's no problem... at least I'm not alone when I don't want to be.

    So, to me... single or with someone.... its a scale that always balances differently whenever I think of the pros and cons... but as for the monkey sex... that's usually enough for me to come screaming back to a lover... No pun intended!
