Well, I think this poor soul will get exactly what he predicts he will
get.  If he was looking for romance, love and good sex, he would find
it.  Unfortunately, he will probably go on having meaningless sex for
the rest of his life.  Sad, isn't it.  There's so much more to it.

Exactly, my love.  I never understood that until about a year ago :)

MA goes over to Ross and looks mesmerized by his sexy grin... she

Funny you should mention that....yesterday, Steven and I were discussing
a food fight.  But, then we realized that we're initially paying for the food!
We thought about this for the last chat, but the weather was so cold, we
all ate in the house.  And see as we had just painted the walls, we sorta
cancelled that idea.  But, there's nothing wrong with water fights outside!
So...everyone needs to bring their favorite waterfight weapons! ;)

	I have read that after a man makes love, a hormone is  
released to cause him to fall asleep.  This can happen as fast as 18  
seconds.  The book recommends that men try not to fall asleep to make  
the act more sensual for the woman and says that the sleepiness will  
pass in around a minute and a half.  I think this was in Love Making:  
A Man's Guide, but I'm not sure.

I think you're wrong...dead wrong.  As you know Steve, I have been
friends with Jody for a long while now.  Her outlook on life is hers.
But obviously she wants to change it or see what it's like to have
another outlook or she wouldn't have posted here.  I don't think
everyone on ARC has any delusions about happiness.  As adults we've
all gone through our share of hardships, heartbreaks, etc.  So, we
know what it's like to be without happiness and just prefer to think
in a positive way rather than in a negative posture.
