It would be both dulce and decorous.
I am thinking of sending dlowan some flowers.
Maybe some candy. Something with caramel.
Why not a single, perfect, cadillac?
It wouldn't fit your image.
Perhaps a Yugo?
Crap! I don't have time to respond in detail. I'm not at home, and on a very slow connection, and it's just hell to get online.
I'll have to get back to you all on this.
I most certainly won't!
AND he ignored me the first time, and thanked Soz for agreeing with my analysis!
And she didn't even mention the new, warming, KY!
I could manage a new image.
I don't want no car I never heard of!
Anyhoo, the cadillac came from Dorothy Parker's poem, and I am not budging.
Oh, I was wrong.
A limousine will do.
:Dorothy Parker (1893-1967)
One Perfect Rose
A single flow'r he sent me, since we met.
All tenderly his messenger he chose;
Deep-hearted, pure, with scented dew still wet --
One perfect rose.
I knew the language of the floweret;
"My fragile leaves," it said, "his heart enclose."
Love long has taken for his amulet
One perfect rose.
Why is it no one ever sent me yet
One perfect limousine, do you suppose?
Ah no, it's always just my luck to get
One perfect rose.
It's so unnerving to agree with Slappy.
<have a good time in Rochester, kix>
So.... Eeeeenteresting. Gus and Dlowan!!!
fascinating.
I am shocked and chagrined. I am almost certain that that's why Gertrude left Gus. She probably suspected something. How immoral of you, Gus! Now excuse me, I have to go place my head into a freezer for awhile, I am very outraged.
I never fucked him!
I just invited him to A2k!!!
It was totally innocent!
Man, you Slovaks have such dirty minds...
no, we are just realists. and natural skeptics. but that's healthy.
so, gus is a real human being? that is equally fascinating!
He IS??????!!!!!!!
You're kidding!
On Kicky's question, I agree with Slappy that he shouldn't develop the confidante role. I think simply telling the truth, that he likes her and is attracted, but doesn't share any "we are born to be together" thinking (if true), at least now, and doesn't want her leaving husband for him; that he wishes her well in working out her marital crisis (perhaps suggesting counselling, if he means it). And tells her he doesn't want to be the confidante, that she could see a counsellor by herself if her husband won't go. Two cents plain.
Moralist Hatemongers... Oxymorons abound...
Someone almost hates me... for a few lines I wrote that have no effect on his/her life - this is absolutely fascinating.
Stray Cat, it is funny when people who have forgotten what it's like to use one's intellect instead of using a set of formulaic dogmatic phrases advocate for reason. You did not even understand my post - please return after accumulating a few more.... (never mind, you are who you are... no hard feelings... as a matter of fact no feelings at all... )
To Kicky, from personal experience, I think it is better if you don't initiate any contact - this period in her life may blow over or may not, but either way you are left in a strange predicament afterwards if you make an effort to keep in active contact with her during this transition. Let her find a support system to help her deal with her marital problems, you cannot realistically be the system. I am particularly concerned because you are the "only" one she has talked to about her unhappiness with her marriage - this really does not smell very good.
And again... think about finding a friend-with-benefits who can distract you from this situation... :wink:
