And yet, I guess the Nay's have it...

For whatever reason, I stepped in it with my gf, and created this entire mess.
And, seeking some hope of redemption; I suggested that maybe we should let the readers vote.

To quote Mal:
"That turned out well..."

implying not.

Mea maxima culpa.

The only time I get my foot out of my mouth...

IS to change feet. Once again, upset the gf with a unintended consequence. My fault; and a stupid move to make... no matter the "intended use", the results not pretty.

I apparently cannot get out of my own way. And the worst part; I didn't even remember posting the damm thing. (being annoyed, spur of the moment, or whatever...)

Should I get beat up for something I don't even remember doing? Obviously.

I just wish I could think *before* I create mayhem.

Wow. Sometimes your preconceptions get you into trouble...

I posted the comments, because I just saw them. (nobody usually comments, so I don't look)...

If I posted the whole ugly mess, then I'd be spiteful; and (as of yet) I'm still trying to not be that kind of person. I already resolved that I don't get mad, don't get even, don't get ahead; but this turning the other cheek stuff... I'm a jew if anything, and I don't really subscribe to that.

Being said, however... everybody is entitled to their opinion. Just keep it clean and civilized; how I was raised... and I don't do that level of anger anymore. Not for anybody. (well, maybe for BP and other idiots); but not uncontrolled. NOT ever again.

16 years, and I haven't lost it completely. Maybe today I won't either...

Head spinning...

So we broke up. That lasted three days.
Now we are back together...
Walking carefully, waiting for the other shoe

(in the back of the head?)

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst, and pray often. (if you're religious).

If not, drink scotch until the gremlins go away...

She's worth some effort. But, so many times in the past...

Inner daemons. Kinda like printer drivers; except they bite.

Wow. Sometimes... your preconceptions can be shattered...

You know, there are times when you just wonder how the hell you make that leap of faith.

Someone I trust wants to have me network with some folk that she's connected with. OK, so the particulars are... that it's a very tight-knit community and most of the folk are well connected in the local business/political scene. That means that they *could* refer me work; or cause me to get hired... (maybe).

There's only one catch. It's a local alternative-living group; not exactly sure what that means, and I'm being VERY circumspect... but it (I have been warned) can involve partially clad people having sex... at the gathering.

HMM... sounds like Rennaissance Faire to me... except with local business types and others. But, I'm not a "swinger" --- never considered it except for adolescent dreams of yesteryear (or was that decade?)... so this is one heck of a leap for me.

So what do you say at a party to someone who wants to swap with you?

I have no idea, except to say "Not yet, thanks for offering. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the concept?..."

wow.

Spammers are still stupid...

What I'd like to send back...:

suspect that you are bogus. My first clue: The name on the signature doesn't map to the user in the email address. A real person would have some connection between their name and their reply address. Besides, ... Generally speaking, if it sounds too good to be true; it's usually a Russian spammer. Feel free to send me links to your adult dating site, though... I'll just notify the referrer that you are bogus account, and you'll lose your proceeds.

And yes, we are ALL creeps. That’s why it's Craigslist.

Better luck next time.

Subject: We talked a while ago

Hey, We talked a while ago about an ad i posted (or you posted and I mailed back). Iam just going through my inbox looking out for people that might have been worth talking to that I never got further with. As it turns out most of the guys on craigs were total creeps. I even went out on a few dates... never more than twice with the same person. Anyways, so I realized you weren't one of the people, and in your old emails you sounded pretty decent. If you think your a worthy guy who wants to go out and have some fun let me know. I will send you my pictures and tell you a bit about myself if you want. Hope to hear from you, Simone
