"...It's like a full time job, and we should treat it like one. If your boyfriend or girlfriend wants to leave you, they should give you two weeks' notice. There should be severance pay. The day before they leave you, they should have to find you a temp."

Nope. Nope. People just make them hard.

I wanted something that would make me 'cock strong'.

If their psycho-spirital state is against it, they won't let it in.

This may sound weird; but I asked my dad, who's a programmer from the old days, to help me and we couldn't get anything to 'run'.

I only go to movies when my girlfriend takes me out (we used to live together and she paid for everything, as well as going out every weekend, and gave me a truck to drive and a cell to use, but I like the house a different way, and don't necessarily want people in it, so I figured it best for me to live alone - but she comes down to see me every couple/few weeks), and only buy things if I need something

And, no, I don't have others pay for things. They want to do those things with me, so I let them; or, I do them with them. I wouldn't necessarily do those things, regardless.

And in three words we begin to understand why his wife left him.

You assume that I would ever be married. You assume that I would even want to involve myself in such a conceptualism.

Quote from: shorthair on April 11, 2007, 04:00:40 pm

By the way, just yesterday I was visiting with an ex-girlfriend (though, technically, at one point we were married) and her almost-one-year-old daughter

Well, as usual, ya all have ideas in your head that can't be reversed, not that I would try, anyway. You can't change or help people, you can only aid them if they ask. Perhaps, one of these days, some of you will start asking questions before your penis gets in the way.

patrickl · « **Reply #25 on:** May 07, 2007, 07:45:56 pm »

Thinking about how eerily this guy reminds me of a serial killer profile, maybe we should leave him alone a bit

It just shows one or both of two things: that you refuse to go back and learn the origins of things; that you have authority issues and are comfortable only with things that you make up/fit your idea of what works.

There should be severance pay. The day before they leave you, they should have to find you a temp.

I only get a date something like 2-3 times a year cuz I'm so timid. I say amen to this.
