So, get a "real" job and get married and move out into the suburbs.
From what I hear, it still can be a lonely life.

If you're lonely, start going out with people. It can be stressful, but
at least it isn't boring. (Presuming that you have a source of income
and can afford to go out with people).

My loved one's member kissed me just yesterday.  I was sitting out on
the front porch swing and he was still upstairs sleeping when I hear
this little pitty-pat, pitty-pat and here comes his member hopping down
the stairs wearing a tuxedo and a top hat swinging a cane singing
"Swar-mee, how I love ya how I love ya ..." and I leaned down and let it
bus my cheek.  How adorable!

I heard on Chicago's WLS radio this morning that the Fox Network
has issued an apology to the City of New Orleans after hearing
of the city's outrage over a portion of the most recently-aired
episode of the Simpsons.

It's the episode where Marge gets a part in the parody of "A Streetcar
Named Desire".  In the play, there is a musical number in which a
chorus line sings a song about New Orleans.  The lyrics are VERY hard
to understand but if you listen closely they go something like this:

"New Or-lee-uns!  Home of pirates, drunks, and whores
New Or-lee-uns!  Tacky overpriced souvenir stores New Or-lee-uns!"

And then there is something like:

If you wanna go to hell you'll get there quick by the bile of
the Mississip, etc., but I haven't played my videotape yet to listen
closely.  Were any of you able to understand the lyrics?  The commentators
on the radio played the song and their consensus was, "Yeah?  So? It's
TRUE!!"

Sure.  Anyone else have an opinion??

Several years ago an old roommate talked my into going to the meat market

It's all it's cracked up to be.  You never get old, you stay eternally young,
your brain never rots like it does for those who live out in the wasteland
called the suburbs, and you don't spend the rest of your life slaving away at
a meaningless salaried position, because you're running your own business
and ultimately succeeding.

You don't need to waste money on a car because everything is within walking
distance and because biking is in vogue where you live especially with all the
wonderful parks about -- unlike the outlying suburban desert.  You enjoy time
in the indoor lounge and swimming pool, and after marriage you have sex 4
times a week and bike 200 miles a week together and travel to Europe twice a
year on seminars because there's no kids running about.

Even before the marriage, with all the mental and physical stimulation of the
environment, loneliness is an impossibility.

Why, yes, of course he did.  Don't you remember the bit in the Inferno where
he encounters Satan frozen in the massive lake that looks just like the
infield at Yankee Stadium?  And remember Satan's words in praise of the
Root of all Evil and his glee at having Babe Ruth in his grips?

Of course, nowadays, Satan looks more and more like Tony LaRussa.

but then I got dumped only two months ago.  I've found that when I'm not in a
relationships, that's the only thing I want.  And, when I am in a relationship,
all of a sudden I have lots of problems.  But I honestly do place a relationship
(and someday an everlasting and loving marriage) above all else.

Just smile, say hi, and ask for a back-rub, perhaps explaining why you need
one, and offer to rub their back in exchange. It helps if they look like they
too could use a back-rub.

Of course, a lot of guys will think that you're coming on to them,

What a difficult situation, Aileen.  I've seen someone actually win a
spouse away from an addition, but it took years and it was no joke.

I had one relationship with someone who was addicted to illegal substances,
and I gave it up.  I promised myself that I would never do that again.  Not
just because of the illegal substances, but because I am just not that
comfortable with people who have addictive personalities.

I think it's one thing to be enthusiastic about something (like a friend
of mine who talks a lot about fish) and completely different to be unable
to separate onself from it.  It's the difference between wanting something
(I'd like some chocolate right now) and needing something (which isn't true
for me and the chocolate, since I'm responding to you and not rummaging
through my pantry).

I've known people who have needed to drink, who have needed to see their
favorite shows on TV, and who have needed to play fantasy role-playing
games, and the effect is really the same.  They all put those things
before the other people in their lives.  The were compulsive about it.

My suggestion would be to try to find a way to weed out people who are
addicted to something.  I don't have a concrete way to describe how to
do that.  I think that you will be much happier, though, if your
relationships work or fail on their own merits, and not due to some
outside influence more powerful than your partner.

Good luck.

      Wow.  Accepted at a CSU campus.  No wonder Carole Parker is 37.

      Who cares?

      Actually, MY goal is hang out on campus forever.  Peter Pan knew
   a good thing when he saw it.

      I can fly!  I can fly!
