And he asked, "What is this about a dog and a cat?" And my brother said that there is a dog and a cat there sometimes, and he said, "That is not going to work."
What, Indians aren't allowed to have pets, now?!?! WTF?
I am so on that lonely hearts bench. I feel like I'm looking for such a small subset of the population, and the people I'm looking for are either not into me or already taken...I've never dated anyone longer than six months, man. And I've only made six months a couple times. Real encouraging. :(
I apologize, Polter-Cow, but scenes from the first season of The Guild keep popping into my head. "He better still be a virgin!" "But your babies will be so ugly!"
At least I'm on the bench with some beautiful women. All my brain can think of is "if only". I mean, have y'all seen Smonsters OKcupid profile pic? Hubba Hubba!
Speaking of lonely hearts bench. One profile in OKC said something about friends writing it. Anyone interested in writing part/all of mine? Clearly my profile writing abilities suck.
Glamcookie, you caused no bad feelings for me with the kids question. These days I'm feeling much better and happier about lots of things. While it is still one of those things that can eat at me, this discussion didn't upset me or anything.
Piles of let-it-be-nothing-ma heading your way Raq. My money's on cyst.
Have only really skimmed, but much ~ma for Aims (I'm glad to hear she came home), Spidra and anyone else who needs it. And good-decision-on-children~ma for Glamcookie and DW.
Edit: Health~ma for amyth's brother and wishing-for-nothing~ma for Raq.
Children. The idea is anathema to me and always has been. (That may or may not be the remnants of my conservative Christian upbringing.) The Girl would love to have children. There are a lot of issues there, though. Not least that neither of us makes any money and I'm not physically up to looking after kids. (I would be with the right support, but that would necessitate having some money.) We met with my priest for our first pre-wedding discussion last night. He was really positive about our possibilities for kids. I'm not sure I want prayer for the blessing of children at my wedding, though. It's all a bit confusing.
my dad obviously believes he can just convince my brother to break up with his girlfriend of three-and-a-half years because it's not our culture.
I can relate. From the other side. (Although in my case, The Girl's parents think she's the evil corrupting one. Which is both funny and sad.) I hope your brother survives this, and that he can persuade your family that his girl is not evil.
Much nothing-much~ma to Raq.
Sean, I've been feeling the same way your earlier post described. Lucky for me I've never wanted kids, because at 42 it's very unlikely, even if I did wake up and find myself in a long-term relationship. But I do want to fall in love at some point. Doing so with someone who loves me back would be even better. It's hard to imagine either happening, though.
Masses of "it's nothing"~ma to Raq.
- joins the miserable singletons bench* I found out the other night that i've had an okcupid account for over 5 years due to some test or other. It is now more useful. Maybe.
My BFF decided to have a second child because both partners are from big families and they just couldn't imagine having only one child.
And much ~ma to Raq. May the nothingness be confirmed quickly.
