Evo said:I'm getting used to it.
Evo said:It would seem that way.
Update: Evo just won $266 million dollars in the lotery. Any takers?

GeorginaS said:Speak for yourself.
zoobyshoe said:I wasn't talking about myself or you. I was talking about BobG.
GeorginaS said:Speak for yourself.
zoobyshoe said:I wasn't talking about myself or you. I was talking about BobG.
GeorginaS said:Well that makes much more sense, then.
I've never killed anyone for smoking. After 2 years of being surrounded by smokers, I'm now finding the cigarette smoke pouring in through my windows rather comforting.BobG said:Would it be appropriate for me to ask just how many you'd killed in their sleep before answering? Or is that one of those things where you could tell me, but then you'd have to kill me.
I'm a <sniff> LOSER! I can't even give myself away.Lisa! said:So I guess zoobie's satement was right at least for men! AS you see this very hot and attractive lady( Evo) is hitting on them aand yet they're afraid of taking any risks...
BobG said:It's true, I admit. Fortunately my attractiveness has the same rate of decay as bismuth.

................T.S.Eliot said:And indeed there will be time
To wonder, “Do I dare?” and, “Do I dare?”
Time to turn back and descend the stair,
With a bald spot in the middle of my hair...
...Do I dare
Disturb the universe?
In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.

BobG said:And, as luck would have it, I can drive right by your house later this month.
Oooh, a possible taker!rewebster said:well, the hot potato or the ball is now in play
Evo said:I don't have any hope of finding someone at my age. I'm not even looking. I figure that my "soul mate" was crushed flat as a pancake by a runaway garbage truck. Or went insane. Or both.
What is your age?rootX said:This thread makes me happy for some reason. I am feeling good about my age..
Evo said:Oooh, a possible taker!
zoobyshoe said:Voice of narrator:
"Evo and her spawn will soon feed. It's been months since they last tasted human flesh."
rootX said:This thread makes me happy for some reason. I am feeling good about my age..
zoobyshoe said:what is your age?
Galteeth said:Worrying about your age is sort of pointless. A life contains all ages, until the individual dies. So even when you're young, you're going to be old. I have never understood age discrimination.
zoobyshoe said:What I'm saying, I think, is that the older you get the more careful you get, despite yourself, and you acquire all sorts of instinctive avoidance behaviors that prevent you from jumping into things the way you will when you are younger. So, at the same time you are becoming less and less attractive physically and have fewer and fewer prospects, you are also, paradoxically, more picky about what you'll put up with.
BobG said:I think "old people" are capable of being much more reckless than young people when it comes to romance.
Most single people in their 40's/50's are divorcees. The odds of meeting an emotionally healthy divorcee in their 40's/50's are pretty slim, so "careful" and "dating" are words that can't exist within the same context.
And while you're technically correct about older people being more picky, they're just more picky about which emotional disorders they find desirable in a partner.
For example, a woman that gets defensive about answering sensitive questions asked by her furniture is kind of quaint and exotic. And while that whole cleaning the kitchen floor with a toothbrush thing is strange, at least she has really clean floors - plus, what's a toothbrush, really, but just an extra small scrub brush.
And while I can handle a woman that suffers from arachibutyrophobia, I just can't tolerate a woman that suffers from barophobia. I usually find a woman suffering from coprastasophobia to be preferable to a woman suffering from coprophobia. And, unfortunately, I can't tolerate that woman that suffers from either aphenphosmphobia nor apotemnophobia.
And, while I can't remember the technical name for it, but whatever emotional disorder causes a woman to tack artificial vines to every damn window and to fill her house with artificial plants is unacceptable, as well - that's just completely incompatible with the phobia I developed about artificial plants during that traumatic cemetery episode.
But if she's an alcoholic or does drugs? Forget the whole break-up spiel, or even the fade out technique - I'm changing my phone number, e-mail, and changing the house numbers on the front of my house and then I'm dying my hair and buying new glasses.
Yes, they're capable of it, it's not a matter of becoming wiser with age, it's a matter of having battle fatigue "Should I do this potentially reckless thing, possibly stir up a lot of drama? Bleh. I'll go home and watch CSI."BobG said:I think "old people" are capable of being much more reckless than young people when it comes to romance.

rewebster said:so, are you two (zoob and bob) going to share?
lisab said:They could merge and become zoobobby.
rewebster said:that would be better than bozoob
lisab said:yeah my first thought was zobooby haha
rewebster said:I've seen one of those...
or maybe it was two technically
<snork>zoobyshoe said:The most efficient merger would be "booby". But then Evo would become known as: The Woman With Three Boobies
