Could it be? Maybe Buffista~ma is working it's magic on the Gaza Strip? Hamas says open to new truce in Gaza

Re the height differential. I am 5'3", my ex-husband is 6'3" and my ex-fiance is 6'1". I tend to skew to the tall, skinny ones, but I've dated everywhere from mid-5 footers to the over 6 footers. The more critical criteria is hair/eye color. I go for blond/red with blue/green eyes. The dark hair/eyes have less of a chance with me. I may acknowledge that, yes, they are blazing hot to look at, but I end up with the pale, northern European types 90% of the time.

Oh, so much more Peace~ma for Gaza, Israel, and the entire area in general. And safety~ma for those who live and serve there.

Well, omnis, there is an official 24 hours truce.

However, Israel is still planing military action, and Egypt remains a third side on this (since the other entrance to Gaza is through its territory, and they were a lot more violent than Israel last time the Palestinians broke through there).

Continuing peace~ma to Israel and Gaza.

Now, in completely trivial decision-making, should I buy this jacket? I think I may almost be more in love with the description than the jacket itself. "James Dean meets Annie Oakley" sounds like, well, my idea of a girlfriend.

I am not normally someone who has any issues with insomnia, but someone sent the evil fairies last night, and though I tried to go to bed shortly after midnight, I ended up instead reading first one book...and then laying in bed at 3AM tossing and turning....and then reading another book...and finally going to sleep AFTER 5AM. WTF?!?!

This is not the way to have a successful "let's get stuff off my plate on the last day of work before vacation!" day. ARGH.

I've mostly dated women roughly my size. That's what happens when you date women, really. I think my current, N, is probably one of the shortest--I think she's about three inches shorter than me (OTOH, she can bench press my body weight). I also dated one girl who was probably about 5'10 and pretty broad shouldered. That was kinda fun (girls who are that tall and big seem much bigger than boys that size, who do not seem big at all). But mostly, within an inch or two of my average sized height (5'6).

This is my kind of xkcd: [link]

I must say I thought of you (and tommyrot) when I read that earlier.

There's also this jacket, which comes with a zipout vest. I also have an REI owner refund that would make it almost the same price as the other.

Yeah, more or less. I think you've *met* my ex who's shorter than me but much stronger...

I think I only met your ex M...is she strong?

I like the other jacket better, it looks funner. Though I'm not sure I trust me to make ANY decisions on this little sleep...

Both my ex gfs are Ms... and yes, the one you met is strong like bull.

I think the 2nd jacket might be more flattering, and I like the longer length.
