Now with respect to french food.... we had several friends from France come and stay with us for about a week. we made them eat local food cooked by us. (also local wines ) they fell in love with the flavors of our cooking and as to the wines they complained that french wines were so very bland and ours had so much flavor....

French wine is lovely in France, but they send us the dregs. A Frenchman told me that, so it must be true.

I don't like European very much in general, though. I usually drink Australian or South African wine. New Zealand wine is lovely but it's expensive here. And I like South American wine as well.

Z, I just brought a bucket of Baileys up from the cellar. It's all yours.

Oh, you're a doll! Thank you! But I'm willing to share.

I would agree with this (even though it would get me lynched if I went around voicing the opinion), in my experience, American food (soul food in particular) is preferable to French. Although one great thing about wine here, is that you can a decent drop extremely cheaply - for the kind of price that would barely buy you a bottle of cat's pee in the UK.

I'm going to have to go and get a bottle of wine now. Bah. You people have corrupted me.

That's probably a good idea.

French food? I guess I'm the only one here, I love French food. I can't eat it, much too rich, but it's amazing. We had (have? IDK, it's too expensive to go) a French place here that is the only place I've consented to eat veal at. I am morally opposed to veal, but their veal meatballs make me weep.

It was veal that made me go veggie all those thousands of years ago.

Also, back in the dark mists of time when I had modern appliances, I thought being able to go to the shops and buy bags of ice was hilarious. Now I know it's the greatest thing ever invented. EH-var.

I know, i know. I'm a terrible person. But murder is just so delicious!

and, EEP! Finally broke up with sort-of boyfriend. Looking again. And, just for the record, boys are weird. Not any boys here of course. All the boys here are both normal and a delight.

But, you know. In general. It shouldn't be major bonus points that someone didn't try to send wang pictures in the first conversation, it should just be normal. But it's major bonus points. When compared with most conversations, it puts them waaaay ahead, not trying. *checks shirt* No, i'm not wearing a "wtb epic wang" shirt ....

I don't mind people eating meat. Apart from haggis. As long as the haggis is kept well away from me it's all good.

They are, aren't they? Why can't they live in my real life? ... Oh, right, I don't have a life. But if I did I'd want them in it.

Gawd, I know. When I was on OK Cupid, it was a nightmare. It said on my profile that I'm a writer, yet they still tried to win me over with spelling and grammar that would embarrass my five-year-old nephew. My favourite one was "i got car wan go drive wi me?" Firstly, no. Secondly, NO. One corrected my spelling when it wasn't wrong and called me a bitch when I pointed it out. That was before I even got to the mysogynists, racists and homophobes. It was all very, very depressing.

I did meet two really nice men, though. But they both dumped me.

When you get to my advanced years it's mostly men who can't get girlfriends looking for women who can't get boyfriends, and vice versa. There are some gems on there, I'm sure. I'm just too tired and crabbit and jaded to look for them.

Not all men are weird, for the record. I am, but I have some male friends who aren't.

People who aren't weird are no fun at all. I have some normal Facebook friends and they're not half as interesting as the crazy ones.

Fran, someone once gave me this advice, "when you are not looking for one (boyfriend/girlfriend) that's when they show up."
Husband showed up that way, I swore off men especially interent men (local guys in my area) and dang if the same day i swore them off my younger sister hooked me up with the guy I would marry. Go figure, and he was interent local guy lol.

I think I must agree. when i met my wife I was not looking for any kind of a relationship. I wanted to just go out and have fun. I had several lady friends who were dinner companions as i hated to eat alone. nothing serious and was not looking for anything.

Wife worked at a place i stopped in every day on the way home and we became friends. she cheated by doing things like "So on Thursday i am off this week and was wondering if you would be willing to come over and eat some food and watch a show on the TV?"
i was so blind to the danger i said Sure.... she kept it up for ~7 years till she landed me.

It's mostly my fault. I'm too used to doing my own thing. I've tried to not show much emotion but then they assume I'm not really that interested and drift away. Or I try to be open and honest with them about how I feel and they run for it. I can't seem to get the balance right.

Rock, at "so blind to the danger".

My other forum is ridiculous. We started a Facebook group just so we could get away with saying whatever we wanted. Thank the spirits we mark it "secret." XD

Eh, that's just the deal. Seven billion people on the planet. Most of them, i will want nothing to do with. Of the ones remaining, most of them would want nothing to do with me. People are weird and differenty and there are so few people who get me and are tolerable.
