Am I the only one who's about to need to get my keyboard cleaned after
I vomit all over it?

Whaddaya think -- is this thread being populated by the a.r people or 
the a.r.c people?  If it's a.r, I now figure rON was entirely justified 
in his vitriolic attacks.  

Just how long can people talk about carrying doors, anyway?  I wouldn't
have thought it would be all that fascinating even if you were in on
the joke, whatever it is.

Yes, I know I could learn to be more proficient with the kill file,
but it's more fun to criticize.  Of course, maybe all you s.s people

Cats are natural born meditators. It's quite difficult however, to get them
to see all sides of an issue prior to advising both parties to the dispute.
This is because cats are naturally closed-minded. So sue me, my c key was

Yes it does.  I skied everyday for three weeks with someone on a ski patrol
and believe me they are seriously concerned for your safety.  I've skied runs
with them that they determined, because of icy or sparse snow conditions
were unsafe, and subsequently closed the run.  Even though they were marginally
skiable if someone other than an expert were to attempt it there would be
a significant possibility of bodily harm.  I've seen them bring in a helicopter
to take someone off the mountain because he skied one of the closed runs and
fell and slid into a lift pole.

OK. Some women "push" my physical "buttons"...
    Some women "push" my intellectual "buttons"...
    Some women "push" my romantic "buttons"...
 
    And there are many more "buttons" that can be "pushed"...
    The woman who pushes NONE of these is as rare as a blue EMPEROR PENGUIN!!!

    The woman who ends up "pushing" all my "buttons" (like a combination lock)
    is the one that I would gladly spend the rest of my days with. Unfortunately,
    this mythical lady is as rare as a THREE-POUND BLUE WHALE!!!!

    Should I ever have the good fortune of meeting her, and the good fortune

    to find a happier man than yours truly.

Well Louise, you are right.  Men in the 40ish age group are looking
mostly at women in their late 20's or early 30's.  And why not?
You state that the women in those groups who are going with these
men are loking for a "father figure or a sugar daddy".  As long
as the guy doesn't mind, what is the harm?  By the way, do you know
what most women in their 40's are doing now?  They are doing the
same thing!  And why not?  Look at Cher.  Look at Elizabeth Taylor.
Look at your neighbor down the street.  You would probably be amazed
at how many older women/younger man relationships there are out
there.  Of course, the other alternative for you is to also go
after an older man, one who is in his 50's or 60's.  A lot of these
men are widowed or divorced, and looking for someone who knows how
to have fun.  By the way, I don't see anything wrong with finding
a young "tenderoni" to make a man feel young again.  Is ther
anything wrong with that?

It's my understanding that it is a protein in the cat's saliva that causes
the allergy problem for most people. The cat licks itself and the protein
is left on hair and skin so I dont' think a hairless cat is the answer. I
have a vague memory of reading about a mediation that when given to the

Interesting. ALL the women I've dated in the past five or six years have
offered to pay for some of our outings, if they haven't grabbed the tab
out of my hand outright. O'course, I tend to be attracted towards
rather strong minded (stubborn? :) women, so maybe this is reflected

Well, I was surprised.  I was under the delusion that just about any female,
barring allergies, would like to get flowers.  But the day that I picked
to give them to my daycare provider just happened to be her birthday.
She already had five big bouquets of roses in her kitchen, and she was
more annoyed to have a sixth than anything else.  And my housemate just
sort of shrugged and said "Oh."  Her boyfriend never gets them for her,
so I thought she'd be pleased, but I guess he doesn't get them because 
she doesn't like them.  The receptionist at work was pleased with the
tulips I bought her for the spring equinox though.  So it's just not a
universal pleaser.  Guess that shouldn't have surprised me.
