16. So I heard.

Congratulations! :*:party:

[lizziegrace]

25. January 8th

My house - Columbus. A Fiesta Bowl party!

:*

[GOPisEvil]

30. Ooops...I cut into this part of the discussion.

:blush:

I wish I could be there. There will be a Super Bowl party at my house again this year.

:*

[lizziegrace]

32. Don't worry at all

:*

Hmmm. Texas in January. I could handle that. :evilgrin:


:hug:

[GOPisEvil]

38. It's always a good time.

Plenty of DUers and good food.

My chili is not to be missed.

Plus, I guarantee it will be warmer here. :evilgrin:

[lizziegrace]

55. Warm?

Good company? Your chili?

I'd be a fool not to head south in January.


:hug:

[GOPisEvil]

58. Both!

Just follow the birds heading south. :D

[GOPisEvil]

4. Well, no. I'm flattered, but I'm a straight guy.

:D

[lizziegrace]

8. Hey!!

:hug:

Missed the Mediterranean potluck 'cause I was sick. No dolmadas. :(

[GOPisEvil]

10. You poor thing.

:( :hug: I hope you feel better soon.

[lizziegrace]

12. I'll be fine.

I just hate that I lost a whole weekend.

:(

[GOPisEvil]

18. True.

:( But, you get another one in just 3 days, with good food!

[lizziegrace]

27. I was just invited to a friend's for Thanksgiving

I'm flying solo. Lelapin's at her father's this year.

I wasn't looking forward to spending the day alone again.

[GOPisEvil]

33. I was soloing last year. But, I ate at a friends' home.

My parents were on vacation. This year, I'm back at their house.

[lizziegrace]

37. Good!

How was your mom's birthday?

:)

[GOPisEvil]

42. It was nice.

We went to an Asian buffet. It's my dad's favorite place. Heck, we could end up there for Thanksgiving. :rofl:

[lizziegrace]

50. The GOPisEvil

take on "A Christmas Story"

Thanksgiving at the Asian buffet. ;)

[GOPisEvil]

56. LOL!

I *think* my mom is cooking though. But, since they're going on vacation a couple of days later, she's limiting her leftovers. She COULD just give them all to me. :D

[lizziegrace]

57. Leftovers...

the best part. I think as their son, you should be entitled to the leftovers.

:)

[GOPisEvil]

59. Yeah, they don't have a dog anymore.

:D

[lizziegrace]

60. The order of importance

is revealed. And it's not pretty. :(

;)

[GOPisEvil]

62. Heh...I'm glad I don't have siblings.

I'd hate to have to off one for some extra turkey. ;)

[lizziegrace]

63. me too...

:scared:

[GOPisEvil]

66. Actually, my mom usually cooks WAY too much.

There's only 3 of us, and by the time the turkey is gone from each of our homes, we're all TIRED of turkey.

[u4ic]

89. Went to your dad's favourite place

for your mom's birthday?

Did she have a say in this? ;)

[GOPisEvil]

102. She likes it, too.

Yeah, no one really gets a choice in my family. There are about 3 acceptable restaurants for celebrations. ;)

[u4ic]

125. I'm glad she does like it

Is he also the type to buy her a deep fryer for her birthday so she can make him fries? ;)

[Guava Jelly]

13. I'm crushed

:(

[GOPisEvil]

20. Well...it's for the best really.

I'm pretty lazy, and I keep a dirty house because I'm on DU all the time.

[lizziegrace]

39. But you never fail to do the laundry

:)

[GOPisEvil]

46. I did several loads today.

:evilgrin:

[lizziegrace]

53. So did I

O8)

[mike_c]

5. dude, you told me I was the only one....

I am crushed.

[Guava Jelly]

15. Hey i still aint seen the ring!

:wtf:

[crim son]

14. I am not the marrying type.

Apparently :eyes:

[Guava Jelly]

17. Ok we can skip to the honeymoon

:evilgrin: :rofl:

[crim son]

29. Well, okay. But only if we have a HUGE

screaming fight in Corfu once we get out of the taxi, because you didn't have any idea where we were going to stay but never mentioned it to me. You have to tell me I'm a spoiled bitch for wanting to stay in a hotel and not a sleeping bag on the hillside. Also, there have to be some dead goats. Otherwise, it just ain't a honeymoon to me.

[Guava Jelly]

40. Well sweetie if thats what my bride wants

Then she gets it!!! Could they be like dead sheep or chickens?
(I sure hope that wasn't your actual honeymoon) :hug:

[crim son]

47. That was only the first day of my honeymoon.

It got infinitely worse. By the time we hit Paris, the marriage was over. I'm not kidding!

Yes, sweetums. Or dead rabbits.

[Guava Jelly]

61. I'm sorry crimmey

I'll tell you what Our honeymoon would be top notch!!
I would take you to denny's there we would have a romantic dinner.
After that we would hit the liquor store and get a bottle of night train!
And then to top it off!!! Best western hotel..And I'll even order room service :7
Or we can do a tropical cruise..your choice

[crim son]

65. Make it Bugaboo Creek instead of Denny's

and you're ON!!! :bounce:

[Guava Jelly]

67. Woo hoo!

I'll even shower first!! :7

[crim son]

88. Take one for both of us, will ya?

I'll brush my teeth, though. Because I care about you. :pals:

[Guava Jelly]

92. Hell I'll even floss

:pals:

[RevolutionaryActs]

19. No, sorry.

I'm holding out for this dude.



And if I can't marry him, I don't know want to marry anyone. So yeah, looks like I won't be getting married this decade.. or the next.. :rofl:

[Guava Jelly]

21. but he's gay??

Not that it matters to me :rofl:

[RevolutionaryActs]

24. I seriously hope he isn't.

I would be crushed. :cry:

[Guava Jelly]

34. He may not be(I am sure he isn't)

And even if he was..How could anyone with a pulse resist those yowza gamms :)

[RevolutionaryActs]

43. He probably could.

He has tons of hawt girls throwing themselves at him. And they're not that great, sheesh. :P

Oh Toby, just don't be gay. :9

[Guava Jelly]

69. Sure they are!

He would be lucky to have the rev as his wife :)

[RevolutionaryActs]

[Guava Jelly]

76. Rev you do what you want

[RevolutionaryActs]

79. Maybe I'll just post a thread about it

and prolong the torture some more. :rofl:


If it bothered me at all, I would kindly let you know. But I find it funny too. So it's all good. ;)

:loveya:

[Guava Jelly]

83. I am sure you would rev

And I would stop immediately.
:loveya:

[TOhioLiberal]

22. I'll marry you...

At least I think that's how much he weighs...:) :rofl:

[Guava Jelly]

26. Ouch! just cover your tracks

:rofl:

[Guava Jelly]

:sarcasm:

[SeattleGirl]

;)

[Guava Jelly]

85. cool

maybe we can move to utah
:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

91. ROFL!

:rofl:

[Madrone]

48. Well, I would...

...But according to certain family members since I'm 34 y/o, never married and perpetually single (and never looking) - I'm a lesbian who doesn't like men.

Would you like a toaster instead?

LOL

[Guava Jelly]

54. I would be honored to accept a toaster from one with such beautiful blue eyes

Family can be such assholes..They never consider that maybe you just havent met the right person(who isn't a freaky stalker)

[Madrone]

68. Thankfully, I couldn't give a shit what they (or anyone else for that matter)

thinks about my romantic life, or the lack thereof. And it's not like being called a lesbian rates anywhere near an insult in my book. I figure if I die single, so be it. I'm quite happy with myself, and do not need a man to complete me. I AM complete, on my own. If/when the right man comes along I would be happy to share my life with him - allow him to compliment me, not complete me.

The truth is, I genuinely like being by myself. I don't feel like I am missing anything. I don't mean I'm opposed to the idea but I'm not seeking it. I've never gotten into the whole "dating" thing. I've been on one REAL date in my life - and that was with the stalker. We know how that one turned out. LOL

so:

Here's your toaster!




heehee.

[Guava Jelly]

72. You know what!!

That is a very healthy attitude!
You are a strong woman and to me that is very appealing.
Thank you for the toaster..And the toast :)

[Madrone]

108. Why thank you, sir.

LOL - ya gotta love that toaster! It was on the first page in google images and I just couldn't resist. ;)

I appreciate the "strong woman" compliment. I've had a very difficult life and chose to learn from and grow due to my experiences rather than wilt in a corner. It hasn't always been easy and at times it still isn't - but for the most part, I'm content with where I'm at.

[Guava Jelly]

110. You are welcome

I am on a similar path and also refuse to wilt in a corner.To be honest I have done my share of wilting.
It only leads to despair.And nothing good comes from that.
You ARE a strong woman Madrone!!

[Madrone]

115. I've wilted before also.

Most of my childhood involved wilting in the corner. I've learned. No more!

And you, GoPsUx, YOU are a good guy.

[Guava Jelly]

117. awwww.

:blush: And thank you for that.
:hug:
It means a lot.

[GOPisEvil]

104. ...

:applause: That is a well-written post. I completely agree, speaking as someone who's 38, an only child and single.

[Madrone]

107. Thanks, GOPisEvil!

Hmm... I'm an only child too. Maybe that has something to do with it. I've always maintained that my desire (need!) for time to myself is a direct result of being an only child that had to entertain herself. You definitely learn to be at ease in your own company when you're by yourself most of the time.

As for relationships - I've never understood the pursuit of a partner for the sake of being part of a couple; to not be alone. I'm not wired that way at all, and if (as many I see are) a relationship contains drama and grief I don't want to work it out I want OUT period. Life is too short.

As anti-social as the above may sound I LOVE people and can connect with people of all ages and backgrounds usually quite easily. I'm an odd mix in many ways - as with this topic. I'm a paradoxical mix of loner and people person at the same time.

[GOPisEvil]

109. That's exactly right.

I know how to be alone. I'm confortable with being alone. In fact, I need my alone time, particularly after having to be social.

I've only been with one person who felt totally right. Where nothing in the relationship felt like we were having to work at it. Turns out she had some, um, availability issues. ;) But, even when I am in a relationship, I need some space. I don't do clingy. So, I look for independent women who don't need me every second of every day.

I love people too, and once I open up, I can be quite gregarious. In fact, when I tell some people who don't know me well that I am an introvert, they're shocked.

I've always called myself the gregarious loner. :)

[Madrone]

111. Have you found it nearly IMPOSSIBLE -

to find a woman that really understood your need for space? That's been my experience. Of course, they all SAY they understand, even agree and claim to have the same need. But then...

When the time comes and I need a moment it's all: What's WRONG? Don't you love me anymore? WHY don't you want to be with me? WHY WON'T YOU TALK TO ME? blah blah blah.... :puke: At that point I really DON'T want to be around them and it's not because I need a moment it's because THEY'RE ANNOYING THE SHIT OUT OF ME!!!

[GOPisEvil]

112. Oh my goodness, get out of my head!!

"Why are you so quiet? Are you mad?"

"No, just not in the mood to talk."

"But why, do you want to talk about it?"

"No, I just want to sit here and do my thing."

"I knew it, you're mad."

:argh:

To answer your question: yes. :)

[Madrone]

113. LOL

I have some male friends that have the same issue. *I* totally understand where they're coming from - but they're not my "type" of guy. I imagine that frustrates the hell out of them -- finally a chick that gets it - but not the -right- chick. Ha!

[GOPisEvil]

114. Those poor boys.

Actually, I have some female friends that seem to get it, but for some reason, we have no chemistry, except as friends. (Or, I've horribly mis-read things and we're so deep in the friend zone that it's too late.)

[benny05]

52. One does not marry out of boredom

Because one preys more often out of boredom...

[Haole Girl]

71. It depends...

...are you just asking because you are bored?

:rofl:

[Guava Jelly]

73. Nope cuz yer hot!!

:7

[Haole Girl]

[Haole Girl]

100. Yeah...

Not a bad idea. I'm on my 2nd glass of Baileys already. ;-)

[NewWaveChick1981]

77. Marriage is NOT a cure for boredom...

:rofl: I speak from experience. :P Can't help you there.

[Guava Jelly]

84. Being married to the gorgeous Nwc would never be boring

Mr nwc is truly a lucky fella!
:loveya:

[NewWaveChick1981]

87. Thank you, gopsux...

:* Now if we could just un-boring Mr. NWC, I'd have it made... :rofl:

[u4ic]

97. If you buy me a pony,

Then I'd lose one of my fiancees. Considering he's 9, I think he would rather have a pony than me.
