Not at all--sure, there are some people out there in search of a 
relationship, but for those of us who gave up long ago, the point
is entertainment value.  (After all, being able to turn on a

Road Rash: Well I don't have my dictionary handy, but after falling off a
motorcycle going 70 MPH, I think I'm qualified to answer that.  Road rash is
when you fall down and your body keeps moving in the former direction of
travel after your skin stopped.  Lots of fun, trust me on this, and most
importantly---KIDS, do not attempt this at home!!

If I had a choice between (i) finding a cure for cancer and never
having a long-term satisfying relationship with a MOTAS, and (ii)
falling in love with someone, marrying her, and living "happily ever
after" then I'm probably selfish enough to choose (ii).  (Besides, I

OK.  I just want to understand WHAT is the big attraction in
Talllll women?  I mean, They have these long legs that get in 
they way, and when they get just a little age on them [late
20's and up], their butts become flat.  So you have this tall
amazon of a woman, with a flat butt.  They usually will also
have big feet, size 9 or larger, to support that tall man-like
frame.  So that would just about eliminate the thrill of sucking
on her toes, since they are bound to be so big, that sucking on
them would bring out latent maniacal homosexual tendencies 8-).
	No, bring on the petite women, with their cute little
size 5-6 feet, and tender suckable toes, and their nice little
round tushes.  Yes sir, that is what heaven is all about.

Hi, Jen!

OK, OK, so maybe this is the "easy" and "expensive" way out, but
I finally invested in a housekeeper.  She comes once a week, and
it's the best investment I've made in a long time.  As much as I
love to cook, I **HATE** to do housework.  So, I pay someone else
to do it for me.

As for "dark" -- is it a matter of not enough windows?  Or just
that the woodwork, furniture, etc. is dark?  If the former, you
might be able to get by with track lighting and/or inexpensive
"spots."  If the latter, how about reupholstering or slipcovers?
Slipcovers or "throws" are NOT very expensive, and can really do
wonders (I know from experience, and having lived at one time
in an apartment with exactly 3 windows, NONE in the second
bedroom).  I take it you don't like "fix-up" projects?  Get a
bunch of your friends over, and turn 'em loose with paint,
whatever -- you supply food and drinks.

I'm very much like you -- I *hate* mucking around in the kitchen
when everything is messy.  Not having to worry about the house
makes a lot of difference for me.

Well, most American women think that ANY man who is less than 6' tall is
