I went to the casino last night because as much as I like you guys, I wasn't going to spend another Friday night in front of my computer.
As I was watching a rousing game of 21, (not playing too rich for my budget) this really cute guy walked up and started watching on the other side of the table. I made eye contact and he smiled so I decided to get within talking distance. He had on an Irish t-shirt, so I aksed him if he had gone to the St Patty's parade. We keot talking, then he mentioned he was there with his "partner". And just as I started cursing my luck, he realized what I was thinking and started correcting himself and declaring his masculinity. It was funny. Long story, short: he asked if he could take me to dinner next weekend and I gave him my number.
How does this add up to God having a sense of humor you ask? Well, he lives just over an hour away (I'm a SoCal girl so that's not that big of an issue) and he's skinny! I like a man with meat on his bones and he's almost one! But he's still cute and so far meets my other criteria so we'll see where it goes.
Be careful of wish lists....God has a sense of humor!

If you are not in a particular situation, you have no idea what's it's like. A little empathy (not sympathy) goes a long to not destroying the self esteem some of us are trying to hold onto.
Everyone's situation is different but there is no bf/gf tree to go pluck someone off of. If there is, please direct me to it.
The 'always be careful what you wish for' statement has an oft forgotten clause - people always forget the specifics. Like you could make a wish for money and the next day find a quarter - not what you were hoping for, but it was what you wished for you just forgot to be specific about the amount.
But, good luck - it's always nice to see a positive story around here once in awhile.
I was about to say those lists are for the birds and then realized I just posted the thread about the birds being a whole lot smarter than we give them credit for!
Good luck, CE! Let's hope his head is screwed up right. Since he doesn't have that much meat, perhaps the parts fit better and didn't shift much at the time of screwing!

Get your mind out of the gutter, buddy! Have you not screwed a light bulb?! Some fit better than others!
