ways to maintain a healthy level of insanity .
1. at lunch time, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars.
see if they slow down.
12. When the clerk asks if she can help you, say "no, I'm too far gone but thanks"
13. When ordering a water at the bar, ask for a double
14. When answering the phone and the question of what you're doing, say you're playing strip solitaire and you're losing badly (credit goes to Robin Williams)
15. When trying to get through a crowd at the bar or concert, yell "Comin' thru, gotta puke!" (must be followed by shit eating grin)
some personal favs,....
it took a little time to figure out what to write about for my very first tip.
i thought to myself, "well, what makes dating work?
kino?
Good stuff, Nos.
i ran across this info and thought it would be good to share since there are some here who are using online dating sites like match and plentyoffish.
i've been a bit surprised by some of the men emailing me, demonstrating that this info is not common knowledge.
(i'm not suggesting that men alone are guilty.
Serendipity et al - good advice. Thanks for the 411 though I'm rather leery of meeting someone online now; I'd rather deal in the real world. You never know though,....
Swalker - you know, that street goes both ways. lol
do any other single guys here experience this?
i can go for months without meeting one woman of interest.
then suddenly women start coming out of the wood work.
I can relate to the "one ata time" focus and the inherent loss of possibilities.
as one who's getting back into the "dating" thing after a long hiatus, i would agree with the advice of keeping your options open but be honest.

thought i would share this - for all those who have been cheated on, this is great.. not that i'm vindictive though .
gary.
lmao
been there. reminds me of a similar prank I pulled on a "dirty little xjw" I dated way back in the day, though it wasn't quite as public.
don't get mad; get even.

it's a quote from "legends of the fall," the novel by jim harrison, and the movie, starring anthony hopkins, brad pitt and aidan quinn, and it reminds me (in a way) how i've felt for most of my life--both in the jws and out.. in the story, aidan quinn is the brother who always tries to do the right thing, living up to his responsibilities, treating others well.
but pitt is wild, generally irresponsible and unapologetic.
quinn's character says something like this.... 'i have tried all my years to live by the rules of god and man, while you have lived by none of them, brazenly doing whatever you pleased.
Yes, definitely, but I think it's because they're the ones that aren't afraid so much of what anyone thinks about what they do or say. They aren't afraid of taking chances, saying what they really believe, in a way they are admired for being themselves.
Very true. I've found that the less I "care", the better things go. I also sleep better at night. Strange but true.
Good movie, btw.

I just see such things as words, and words can only hurt you if you let them.

Laughter is good armor. Whenever ppl take up slings and arrows, the best thing is to laugh at their insecure and childish attempts at building themselves up. 'Course, nothing beats a good comeback though,....lol.
when i first got on the internet, 8/9 years ago, the only people i came in contact with were jw's.
i had just been reinstated, after being df for 9 years.
my first observation was how lonely the chatters were.
Live now, we know that is real.
:-)
i was thinking this morning about an incident that happened yesterday and came to a very welcome realization..like rett butler, i simply dont give a damn..what others preconceived notions or expectations of me are anymore.i am happy, and content with who and where i am in my life.its a good place to be emotionally and mentally, after being soooo tormented for so many years.with all the negative people pleasing baggage i carried around.its like erica jong said:at fifty, the madwoman in the attic breaks loose, stomps down the stairs, and sets fire to the house.
she won't be imprisoned anymore.its a great place to be, as a woman.anyone else care to share?.
terri.
like Rett Butler, I simply don’t give a damn
LOL
Funny, that phrase has been in my head for awhile now. And it's good
"Hang on loosely, but don't let go,..."
