I like to travel and I like to stay home. Both have appeal. Balance is key.

Bingo often leaves me horny

I'm honest. I'll take the money.

On a second date recently I brought the victim to my house to meet my giant slobbery white boxer, three legged cat, 8 goats, 18 chickens, and 4 ducks.

You have to love animals if you are going to be with me. Merely tolerating them doesn't cut it.

If you don't find joy in the antics of a baby goat, you are not the man for me.

A time ago this house was filled
With laughing, silly, souls
We'd banter with each other
Till the morning hour tolled
I loved them all in my own way
They had so much to share
But one by one they disappeared
Now none of them are here
We keep in touch in minor ways
It just isn't the same
Our time together's ended
I guess we are to blame
We spoke our minds and told the truth
We didn't sugar coat things
Swift punishment, in this house
Is what telling the truth brings
They spanked us time and time again
And when that didn't work
They locked us from the house, and yet

We continue to lurk.............

Relationships basically suck the life out of me. They take up time. So, of course I get more done as a single person. I don't have to babysit a man.

Pictures mean nothing. They could be fake anyway. I don't send messages to people so it doesn't matter if people would respond to someone with no pic. I don't want responses - I just enjoy reading the forums. I don't need a picture to do that.

Anyway the people running the witness protection program advised me against it.

Where did the OP state that the outsourcing was to another country? Did I miss it?

My company outsources lots of functions, tedious jobs like sales tax compliance, etc. They outsource it to firms in the US. Not all oursourced jobs are overseas.

It caused me to realize that I was responsible for my own life and not a victim of fate. It forced me to see how my life situation was caused by choices that I had made.

I liked it better when I could blame my problems on others.

Teenagers have sex. Am I the only one who remembers those days? Were you all virgins until you married? They are going to have sex with or without your "permission". You can deal with it or bury your head in the sand. I personally did not want to raise grandchildren by myself. So I made sure my teen had access to birth control. They are having sex - not committing murder. I don't understand why parents get their nosehairs in such a knot about this topic.

you might feel differently if you ever had an unwanted pregnancy.

Not sure why it goes without saying. In any case, whether they make a choice or not, it would be decent to at least consider how it would affect the person. Are you talking about a relationship that is already ongoing, or going out looking for someone to help you through it? I read it as the latter.

True- but sometimes we are not quite sure if it's in

I think if it's the right relationship the sex IS good.

I would think that "maybe" he was interested. Sometimes it is not mutual. So what? Move on.

Funny how no one has considered how this choice affects the object of your affection. All I hear is "me, me, me"

Choice A is beyond selfish. I guess you don't care about the one who gets left behind to grieve.

I guess I don't understand why it's anyone's business but mine. I work hard, I take care of my own and I ask no one for help. If a guy is going to judge my worth by my credit score or feel he has the right to inquire about my plans, then he is not the guy for me. He should be thinking about what is in my heart and my soul, not my equifax report.

Wow. I lost my job to a corporate merger a few years ago. Then my child got sick and was in and out of the hospital. I am working 7 days a week to provide food and shelter. I can't pay my creditors.

Does this mean I am not a high caliber person? Does it mean I am financially irresponsible?

Yikes. Judgement is thick in here.

well, not lying. Just exaggerating.
