See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

Una, FWIW, please don't be afraid to post because you think you'd sound like a moron. The thing is, most of us feel like we sound like morons and yet we post anyway. That's the only difference.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

True dat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And everyone feels like most of their posts get ignored!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Seriously. I always feel like the dimmest bulb in the room, here.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Not to mention, Una, it takes practice to be witty. And experience to be wise.

Lurkers who want to break the ice might want to offer birthday or anniversary wishes, or ~ma or hugs. It's painless, and it's the thought that counts.

Not that I took that advice. It literally took 9/11 to get me to leave lurkerdom.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

Others of us just jumped in blindly and flailed around until we figured out what was going on. Not that I recommend that strategy. Luckily people were kind.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Luckily people were kind.

Because you handed out money right off the bat!

Yeah, it's easy to make friends when you give it away, Kristin....
