Oh, so I'm -simple- now, eh?  *grin*  I think Catherine is a beautiful name,
though... it just sorta rolls of the tongue.  Soft-sounding... something I
think guys would go for... but not being a guy, I wouldn't really know.

Sorry, Catherine. You posted this on Saturday, and for me it is Monday
morning. On Saturday, I was home, not at work. On Sunday, I was home,
not at work. :)

In other words, I only do this at work...  What better way to get paid?

Now, this post will probably get to your machine on sometime Wednesday.
But it's still faster than giving it to Cliff Claven!  :)

Ya know, its funny how reading something can make you remember something
else.  I was laughing at this silly story when I suddenly remembered a 
dream I had last night about my wedding....I was in the reception line,
and everyone was walking thru congratulating Steven and I....and all the
guys were kissing me.  I remember thinking that if it wasn't my wedding
day, Steven probably wouldn't like this very much......

Hum....must have been the cabbage I ate last night....

Great story, JT. :-) Good thing you opened your mouth. :-) I was just
curious--this makes three admitted Catholics on the group. (Well, it
would if I had ever mentioned that I was, too. :-) ) Is anyone else?
(And, if so, do you sing in your church choir? :-) ) Confidentiality
is assured... :-)

It depends on the severity of the "picking on" actually KimmyD. IF it
is REAL severe the ARCwomen rip yer lungs out... or worse.

If it is relatively minor, they let us ARCmen do unmentionable things

They hate, or at least profess to hate all of the flirting and banter that
goes on here...they are also very unhappy about the fact that people here
tend to use selective editing or none at all, and this carries over into
posts to soc.singles. This is a surefire way to make at least one or two
.singlers blow a gasket. I don't know about anyone here, but quite a few of
the people in s.s pay for their newsfeed, and are consequently sensitive
about seeing the whole entire last post quoted in someone's response. They
also don't seem to understand how we can all be so darn happy, even though
some of us are single...:)
