Aside from white prime, I want an apartment sized portable dishwasher. That's the one thing I can't manage to stay up on - the dishes - while being in school as much as I am. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

I read an article talking about Israelis getting ready for a possible confrontation with Iran...not "rich jews." And before you tell me that Israel is synonymous with Jews, bear in mind that while Israel is indeed the only jewish nation in the world, jewish is a religious affiliation and not a nationality. It's a point worth understanding... I know many christians who live or have lived in Israel. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

But that's the point, then, isn't it? You actually use it for which it was intended - hauling things around. The folks in my city drive it to posture, show off, or...??? They never have a dent. They are always spotlessly clean except for the spray-on mud (heaven help them if they go over a curb, let alone off-roading...). And Lord have mercy, if a scratch appears, they lose their minds. It's all about posturing...I mean, if you're going to posture, at least get a vehicle worthy of posturing - say, a Porsche or something. Good grief!

Prime glass.........Oh my goodness, I want some prime glasssssssssssss............ I'm going shooting tomorrow with an old lens, the one I've been using for 18 months. It takes good photos, but I always wonder what they'd've looked like with some white prime.... Damn. I'm feeling great pity for me right now; feeling massively deprived and craving something which isn't in my near future at all....sigh... Whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttteeeeeeeeeee Primeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Sucks having to explain the joke, doesn't it? Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

I want some prime glass. Those who know will know what I mean... Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Nothing wrong with trucks, per se. It's those people who own giant trucks and drive in the city, "posing". Those just tick me off...no point to it at all. However, if someone has a horse ranch, or uses his truck to actually haul things around, then it's fine. Use it in the manner it is designed for; not have it to show off or make a statement in. That's what my sportscar is for! (BTW, I feel the same way about women who drive those big trucks for no reason, too...)

Points. Too bad the rest leaves you out...I'd've loved to have received your application! Chris, you can keep your man card. The man card might need to develop a subset for a Boy Card, though. Apparently, some folks can't take a joke without it getting personal, and lobbing personal attacks. For those who feel the need to attack me over a joke thread, please do so in PMs. If you can't say it to my face, it shouldn't be said at all. And Cpoxon, sorry that my joking around thread peeved some people off. It constantly amazes me that for some a sense of humor is not needed to survive life; it certainly is for me! And this thread has gotten funnier and funnier the longer it goes! Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Of course you do, Chris. I'm beginning to think that perhaps the man card should have a little brother - the boy card. That might be a way to separate the men from the boys... Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Any of the felines - tigers and leopards, especially, but all cats. Next to that would be dogs (newfoundlands, shepards, labs: working dogs especially). Then the next would be horses... I love animals of all sorts, except the creeping and crawling critters. Those make me lose whatever sanity I have at the moment. When I grow up, I'm going to have some acreage (at least 10) and be able to rescue a bunch of dogs, build a stable and have about 3 horses, and have my herd of cats. I have to grow up first, though, and that's been a struggle. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Brilliant!!!!!!!!!! I even went so far in my Jethro Tull fad as to obtain the symphonic version of their "Greatest Hits" (not muzac, but actual, London Philharmonic renditions), made my father listen to it, and he agreed, they're good. That was back in the vinyl days, though. I wonder if they've gotten it onto CD...that would be fun as hell to have in the car. I need to get my Jethro Tull collection restored...just have to. Loved them, loved them, loved them. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Happy Birthday, Tim! Wishing you many, many more to come... Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Thanks, Chris. I worked as hard as I could, stayed the course, and managed to do it up. I am proud of myself; what's really cool is my Pops is proud of me, too. He remembers paying for a tutor when I was in high school and me still failing it...LOL. that is exactly what I did. I decided if I was going to do this, I wanted to get the scary stuff out of the way...my local school has a fast paced program for returning adults, and it's a full semester of math in 8 weeks (5 units). So I front loaded my schedule, and got it out of the way before the rest of the classes got well into exams and finals. So yeah, when you go back, look for something like that, and see if you can't get it done with quickly...I know that it helped me, knowing I only had X more weeks to get through rather than an entire semester, you know? Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

You're my hero! To Chris... As for me celebrating, since I've got no-one to go play with, I am going to have a drink or two alone at home. I don't drink and drive, so celebrating will have to wait until next weekend, when my best friend in the world comes into LA for a few days. Then I will celebrate...and I'll have my scores from Anatomy then, too, and might (just might) be able to celebrate two things at once. However, since tomorrow and Monday are the first two days in a row I've had off since the first of September, I am going to relax, watch a movie or two, make kettle corn, play with the kitties, catch up on other stuff...but mostly relax. Trig and calculus are not on the schedule...I do have the next level math course to take next semester. Once that's done, I might never look at a mathbook again... Yippeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!! Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Boz likes the scary women. Scary smart, scary compassionate, and scary fun. So you might just get what you're after. But you're prettier than I am; you've got those gorgeous blue eyes... Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Get your ice skates, people! Hell has indeed frozen over. I took my math final this morning, and was, as usual, the last in the room. Slaved over it for three hours, trying desperately to make sure I caught all my silly little errors, checking and rechecking and triple checking. I turned in my test, and my professor asked me to wait while she graded it. I knew I'd pass the class; it was, rather, a battle to see what grade I'd get. I sat there, contemplating the fact that in the last 8 weeks I've used 300 sheets of lined paper; 50 pencils; two block erasers. Countless hours studying. Tears. Frustration. Angst. Wondering if I could manage to keep discipline and remain in the class, even when all I wanted was to be anywhere else. Performance anxiety, high blood pressure, vomiting. Nightmares. This is the class I failed in high school. This class - or rather the spectre of if - kept me from college in the first place. This is my nemesis, math...and so I sat there. Waiting to see what would happen. Dr. Chen looked up, smiled, and said: "Well, by one point, you got an A. Great work, great attitude, and thanks so much for taking my class." I haven't touched ground since. I got an A. Yeppers, hell hath frozen and pigs are flying, but I got an A. And I am proud of myself. I earned it, I busted my fanny. I have a callus on my finger from holding the pencil and working it. I got the A. Just thought I'd share that with all of you who've been kind enough to support me, help me, encourage me, and console me...thanks. I got the damned A!!!! Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

You're right, Mike. The men do. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Cora, Chris definitely got it. So did lots of other people, who've been reading this thread and laughing right along with me. I can't count how many pm's I've had from people just laughing...the first PM was from Walt, laughing 'cause he thought it was funny. And yes, I've gotten several "applications", as well. Well, more than several. One even worth considering, too. LOL! As for being a lezza, nope...not hardly. So. Just to clear up any confusion. 1. I was joking around. 2. It was a satirical toss of Walt's post. 3. I don't do salons, Oprah, and am fully capable of getting my own wine and making some delightful canapes. 4. I run my house, my life, and my world very well; I don't need a man to make it complete. 5. I have nothing against trucks (although the wild nose, ear, and eyebrow hair is a pet peeve...). I love beards and moustaches, and I don't care if you're as bald as a cue ball. 6. I cover my own expenses, and might - if the cash is available - cover yours, too. 7. I was joking. 8. Did I mention I was joking? 9. If you didn't get the joke, take a breath, read Walt's post, then re-read mine. 10. I was joking. See, for me, the most important thing I could ever ask for in a relationship is for humor. Laughter, enjoyment, humor. A keen sense of humor is vital, and the key in my world. Pity some don't seem to understand that. LOL - and I've attached my self portrait, so you can see what I look like on a "good" day without whipped cream. BTW, did I mention I was joking??? Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Apparently you don't understand. This is not my application. It's your application process (or any other man who believes he might meet my very high standards). So feel free to post/send photos and an application essay, and I'll see if you make the first cut. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Really? What are you doing in here, then? LOL, didn't click the link, didn't even have the urge to do so. But I was bored. What's your excuse? Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Really? You have to have a truck to be a useful man? Wow. I didn't know that. Wait, yes I did. Well, at least I knew the mindset was out there, thus the parameters outlined above. Keep in mind a following post, wherein I clarified the application criteria: as long as you have a nice, expensive car, you can also have a truck. I'll only ride in the car - you can use the truck for your own purposes. Nope, I have enough estrogen already. I don't need more. I know I want a man...a real man, one who understands personal grooming habits and takes the time to perform them. While I'm on this subject, I also want a man who can do laundry; I can do my own, but I won't wash his skidmarked shorts. He can do that himself. Personal grooming is vital to the image I want to project, so the qualified applicant will already have learned how to trim nose hair and ear hair. He'll keep his beard and moustache in shape, too. None of those straggling, snot catching hairs kissing me, thank you very much. And one can only hope that he understands how repellant ear wax is, too...and cleans his ears each time he showers. No, of course not. They are animals after all. I prefer my men to be men...unless we're having wild monkey sex. But still, he has to know what sort of sex I want without me telling him. If you believe you might fit the criteria, please feel free to apply. Include a photo (of yourself) and I'll see if you make the first cut. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

You're just sore that I didn't take an application from you. It's all right. I'm not worried about it at all. You already disqualified yourself earlier on the thread. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

I was young and idealistic once too. That changed. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

YAYAYAYAYAYAY you! You should've submitted an application, though. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Wow. Hadn't thought of that. 'Course, I never used the word "obscene", either, nor passed judgment. Just made the observation that there are things that give indications about a person when they post that perhaps they don't realize.
