I've never experienced it myself but I had a dog that would get so excited to see me he would roll over and pee his fur. And I've had cats that got so into my touch they purred themselves off their perch (ever see a cat fall by accident? They immediately get up and look at you like they're gunna say "I meant to do that").

The concept of soulmate is the stuff of a Harlequin Romance novel. And I think much of it has to do with Hollywood's influence on society. So many people end relationships because things don't go "perfectly" or their partner "isn't the one" or whatever. It's all fairytale nonsense, in my opinion.

I dunno, man. If two people feel they have a soulmate connection and they're happy, More Power To Them. I mean isn't that the golden heart everyone hopes for in life? To be happy and loved? I just can't see how love can ever be a bad thing? Where the problem come into effect is when people think they are in love but it is something other than love.

If a 20 minute job turns into a 3 day job that is incompetence. Find yourself a better mechanic.

even from online and delayed meeting there would still be a wow the mechanics might just be a bit different How much of the "Wow" factor is romanticized and how much or often does that really happen? Is it possible that we pass up someone who might actually be a soulmate because we're waiting for that "Wow" to happen? I was joking about the sometimes you want to "pow" instead, but I wasn't joking about there not necessarily being a "wow". I think and believe that that's something we dream up and romanticize about... and could end up alone forever waiting for it to happen. A soulmate can be someone who you simply feel that warm fuzzy feeling of home with... without the "WOW".

feel that warm fuzzy WOW, I have so many appropriate AND inappropriate responses to that description I can't even begin to list them... The last time I was snuggled to a warm fuzzy I woke and found my girlfriends cat sleeping on my neck.

It was a fricken figure of speech Geesh... don't think I wasn't a mechanic and a hell of a lot more...?fo I have no doubt. Its all good, no worries. I worked and managed fleet garages. A very different animal from working the public sector. Wrenches become familiar with their machines and know them by heart. It was also my policy to change bolts with new ones every other job. When I was writing the WOs (work orders) I included bolt torque specs and sequences. I worked undercar for a bit at a muffler/brake/alignment shop and got really good at extracting, drilling and tapping. That's also were I learned the value of cherry red heat. I lived and breathed wrenches for most of my life - I guess you could call them my soulmates.
