    How would we know if we did?

    No really never understood what that stuff was all about.  We can have any number of fit and good partners if we are adaptable enough.  And the notion that there is only a single one for us seems like - just something we use to convince ourselves that someone is right for us.  Even if there were such a thing what are the real chances we would find them?  "Soulmate" or not I did well enough, at long last, that I don't have much to complain about.

    I certainly hope not!  If I did, Don sure has fooled me for the last 27 years!!

    Happy! Happy!

  • Missing out on meeting them wasn't the issue.

    Generally, life circumstances was :(

  • Potentially, yes. But it wouldn't stop the voices in my head.

      Huh?  What's that got to do with verb tense?

  • Nada.

    And no, it wasn't the verb tense I flubbed up. Verb tenses denote past, present and future. "Was" and "were" are both past tense. It was my verb conjugation that was faulty.

    Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

      The words "was" and "were" are tenses used when conjugating the verb "to be".  I don't smoke nor own a pipe.

  • Yep, but tense of the verb was not the issue. The issue with my conjugation was number, or the indication plurality, if you want to be specific.

    It's never too late to get one :)

      Ok, I'll acquiesce to you, but I sure won't like it.

  • Yeah, but you'll get over it if you keep smoking that pipe ;)

    For some odd reason, this song just came to mind:

    Lenina and Randy sitting in a tree

    First comes conflict with
    V-E-R-B-I-N-G
    They comes happiness
    with conjunctions
    And they find all the functions
    writing and communicating
    Properly.
    It is the perfect language of written love. 

    Truly, you two are meant to be.  The blatant verbing possibilities are endless.
    Big Winks and Smiles!
    You two crack me up!!  This post was edited by Merlin at October 22, 2018 7:09 AM MDT

    I am not rolling on the floor but smiling so big my cheeks hurt!
    You are truly an added benefit.  Tons of fun, you are.  That was my Jedi approach. :) :)
    I do get your point.  I write as I speak.  Trust me.  This has provoked more lost causes on my behalf.  My writing is as baffling as my speech.  It does depend on if I've been hitting the scotch too. ;)   I never, EVER suggest anyone to write like I do.  With all that and getting lost and not turning left at Albuquerque, I see exactly your angle on many things. 
    You are smart, funny and cool.  I'm glad you are here!
    See you on another question!  
    :) :)

    Rolling on the floor would be a tragedy.  I am sitting about 4 and 1/2 feet from a balcony that goes straight down into a valley... 
    Just sayin' that is why I'm not rolling !

  • Thanks for making me smile and for the warm welcome. You've got a warm, playful and light-hearted nature about yourself. You are awesome :)

    Every time I see you Stu Bee, I smile. :) :)  I just wanted to share.  I get a kick out of people trying to manipulate the written language and many times, it is in perception and how the author meant the reader to understand the moment.  
    There is just something lovingly believable about you that makes me respect you and like you all at the same time.
    Let's just say, I wouldn't want to get in an argument with you.  But, you look so sweet, even if you were wrong, I'd still say it was right.
     
    *You've yet to be wrong. :) :)

    I sometimes give myself little, unnecessary mental and emotional fits about just that - - I make choices (sometimes about guys I don't even know; but I have a quick opportunity to talk to them and I don't) and, afterwards, I sometimes think, "But wait! He could have been great with me!" This post was edited by WelbyQuentin at October 21, 2018 9:51 PM MDT
