    Haaahaaahaahaahaha

    God, to have such a fertile imagination and no place to go but here.   Randy's vicarious life.   Come see.

    I hope it isn't true.   I hope you are not a cold-hearted snake that would do Paula Abdul wrong.

    Nope, I'm just kidding.  I've only been married to one woman, and that started when I was in my early 20s.  I don't have a whole lot of "serious relationship" history on which to draw.  Most of my liaisons beyond that were hit-and-run incidents or search-and-destroy missions.  No one expected anything more, so no one got hurt.

    I don't think you posted enough pictures here. 10 or 20 more should do it.

    I'm 66 and I've only had about 5 in my life. 

    Yes.  I do introspect to the point of obsession so I don't do that one again.


    I wish I could just let something go easily, but the pain it causes both people makes me never want to have to repeat it.

    Ugh.  I usually go for long-term relationships.  I don't go in for those quickie things so I take a long time with whom I am thinking about putting in that place.   I am totally fine by myself because I am never really by myself no matter what unless I want to be.

    No. I don't dwell on such things.

    I think about it all of the time and I've determined that in every one of them it was my fault.

  • If we introspect honestly and deeply we find we also had a hand in the breakup. I've been through only one really bad breakup, which, looking back, I could have prevented if I'd kept my emotions under tighter control.

    Yes, and I have concluded that it's not me.

    Does that mean you and I are getting back together, Sugar Pie?

     In order to 'get back together' we would have had to have been together in the first place. Stalking someone does not constitute a relationship, please respect the restraining order.

    But all those times we've seen each other in courtrooms don't count?

    Since I'd be the common denominator, it would be foolish not to do a certain amount of introspection. Otherwise it would be like continuing to crash every car I own because I don't want to learn the difference between the accelerator and the brake. While that knowledge wouldn't completely eliminate the possibility of an accident, it would greatly increase the odds of a safe journey.
