Okay, who here is loveless and couldn't care less?

[HEyHEY]

Sign in my fellow, lovably crusty, colourful, often drunk, poetic, romantic, creative, cynical life of the party types!

[AtomicKitten]

1. shut up.

I'm fine, really.

[HEyHEY]

2. ANother gin and tonic?

[AtomicKitten]

7. on second thought, yes please

[ForrestGump]

3. Patty is

Lovely, too, I must say...

[VelmaD]

4. Well, obviously at the moment I care, but...

I just wanted to come in here and give you grief about spelling colorful like a Canadian. :P

[HEyHEY]

6. Us are for the cool kids, man

[NMMNG]

5. Who needs love when there's latte?

[benny05]

8. Do you really favor latte

over some of your favorite stars you'd like to meet?

[NMMNG]

16. Eh, I'm not really that into stars

Sure I think Kate Winslet is hot, but that's the extent of it. I'm not one of those E! watching, People magazine reading types who follows the lives of stars, and don't have anyone I have any real interest in meeting. It's not like I run in their circles anyway, plus they're too high maintenance.

As to latte, that's accessible, affordable and always available (I have my own machine).

[AtomicKitten]

21. oooow, oooow

Ikea has a product called Produkt for $2 that whips the milk up (you have to microwave it first).
Got tired of the $$$$$ machines breaking down when I just wanted the ... produkt.

[benny05]

22. Well that's true about the Latte machine

and there is the part of the Net for a few shots of favs (or something similar). I did notice that Kate Winslet was one of your favs. I can see why.

I have a different view:

1) I cannot drink coffee as I am allergic to it
2) Women are not my best bets, except for a very few

[JVS]

9. Present, sir. It's not too bad, and I have no time for something like...

that. All the same, it would be nice to have someone pick this place up a little. It's getting to be a fucking dump!

[sleipnir]

10. To quote Michael Mann, "I'm alone, but I'm not lonely."

I'll check in with that quote from his script for "Heat."

[GirlinContempt]

11. NEENER NEENER

:P

[Jamastiene]

12. I'm here.

I used to want a love life until I realized that it was more work than worth. Now, I just enjoy being able to sleep when and where I want on the bed, except when the cats decide I'm not sleeping there. :P

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

13. I'm fucking getting there!

It's kinda nice not rushing home to cook and the tv is OFF OFF OFF!

[RevCheesehead]

14. Hey there!

:hi: Nice to see you, NSMA!!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

15. Nice to be seen

;)

[RevCheesehead]

17. Indeed.

Stealth evening posting, eh?
(nice sig, BTW. I like the Bible.)

:)

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

19. Naah..just a rare night off in December

I entertain during the holidays and haven't had a night off ...I'm still gonna lay low til the window of passive aggression closes.

[merh]

30. LOL

window of passive agression!

:rofl:


:hi:

[ForrestGump]

36. I prefer the window of

passionate suggestion. So if you see that steaming up, it's probably just me outside. Don't stop what you're doing, in that case...carry on. :D

[merh]

56. No windows should separate us -

the steam must not be wasted on a window pane. :silly:

[ForrestGump]

59. Thank you

:D


I was out there for six hours with my tongue stuck to the glass until I managed to thaw it out and free it... :brrrrr:

[ForrestGump]

35. Technical question, Reverend:

how about my neighbor's girlfriend?

Or my neighbor's daughter??

Or mother???

Are they specifically verboten, too?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

37. It's hell on your karma to fuck with other people's relationships, Forrest

Even if you didn't think you were doing it and even if they didn't think they were "worth it" ;)

[ForrestGump]

39. That's just not fair, NSMA

You're mixing religions. :-(

Damned Californians... :grr:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

41. Great moments in alchemy

made possible by 70 degree December days :D

[ForrestGump]

51. You're not sleeping on a rooftop in Venice while writing lyrics in a

notebook, are you? :o

All hail the Lizard Queen!

[Maddy McCall]

43. Aint THAT the truth.

;-)

[RevCheesehead]

54. Of course they are.

I want all your attention. :P

[benny05]

26. Rev Cheesehead

You don't know me, but I see your posts and think they are fun to read. Your fan, Benny

[RevCheesehead]

28. hi, benny

Thanks so much. I really needed to hear that - you made my day! :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. Well, look who decided to come back!

How terrific to see you! Hope things are better for you, now......

I know there's been enough pain for both of you, and I want both of you to heal and go forward with your lives, OK?

:loveya: :hug:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

20. Thanks

I want me to heal...that's my only business

[ForrestGump]

24. But you're not loveless

:hug:

Here...climb on The Big Red Throbbing Thing Between My Legs and we'll go for a ride....

[HEyHEY]

25. that old line?

[ForrestGump]

31. Hey, it worked on you

Remember? :P

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

27. I know I'm not

it's been an interesting month...finally shedding myself of all the relationships that are bad for me including ones I was born into..paid off or resolved $7,000 worth of debt in 55 days...almost 60 days not placing a bet of any sort ...life is good. Some peaks and valleys...but I can see a future again without all the grief...

[ForrestGump]

33. Good. You deserve no less. And quite a bit more.

:hug:

But I still want photos of those 'peaks' and 'valleys'...

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

34. I know I do and that is what I am working on

[Maddy McCall]

48. All good news, Teena.

You deserve all the happiness you can amass. Taking care of YOU should be your priority right now.

That's what I'm having to do. I know how it feels to fall into a hole to feel that you can't dig yourself out.

I hope you are going to pamper your lovely self through the holidays and do things with your friends near you, who have given you wonderful advice and who have shown you what true friendship is.

Better days are a'comin. You've already done the hardest work.

And remember what I told you. When you heal yourself, you will no longer want to be around sick people. So healthier relationships are coming, too.

:hug:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

50. I'm gonna try and take a vacation around the 26th til the 29th

haven't figured out just where yet but I have time off and since I've paid off so much I'm gonna treat me to a trip..my boss has a condo in Mexico so that's an option that might be worthwhile...and the water temp here is still around 68 and his place is right on the beach just south of Rosarito...it's also dog friendly

Yeah..and on the wellness thing... I was basically given less than 6 months to handle major issues in my life concerning my mother..now I'm doing it on my timeline for me and my future without it being under the threat of withdrawal.

[Maddy McCall]

52. That sounds perfect.

I'm going to take a few road trips through the holidays, just to get the hell outa here. Depressing to look out the windows and see the upturned trees and squashed fowl pens. I'm going to pack up Lucinda and MMjr. and we're going to Texas and maybe up to Gatlinburg.

Take advantage of that condo! Indulge yourself. :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. Check your PM.....nt

[Maddy McCall]

42. Hey!

How are you?

:loveya:

You are never loveless. You have many good friends on DU and in real life who think that you're the cat's meow.

:pals: :hug: :yourock:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

45. I know

you're all the reason I find life worth living...
I had the good sense to seek out advice from those who are not medicated, manic nor intoxicated and it has led me to some wonderful breakthroughs...and sensible decisions

:hug:

Not to mention I love my therapist :D (not in the transference sense though )

[Maddy McCall]

49. Yes. See my most recent post in this thread.

I've been seeing a wonderful therapist for some PTSD problems that I've had since the hurricane. We all need help sometimes. I am glad that you like yours. That can make all the difference in seeing those sunnier days ahead.

:loveya:

[Zomby Woof]

57. Good plan!

Your friends are always here for you. ;-) :loveya:

[LSK]

23. whooohooo a place for me!

[chknltl]

32. Hoists a paw... (ok then: lifts a wing....)

... all the while going me, me, me. Oh, that "crusty" part fits too... Been this way since '87 when I got dumped by my ex... I miss her sometimes but my aim is getting better. Got her once with a squirt gun....guess what? Don't believe anything you see in movies, it just makes 'em meaner!

[AGKISTRODON]

38. Romance ain't all it's claimed to be!

26 years married, + 5 years of significant other, I've decided I get along with my cat better than with anyone else. We both like crunchy peanutbutter!:beer:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

40. My dog likes his pookie toys

and comes running up to me when I get home no matter what's in my bank account...so long as there's enough for cookies :D

[Liberal In Texas]

46. Yep, my doggie loves me. Nothing else matters. n/t

[SofaKingLiberal]

44. checking in

I don't know if all women are insane or just the ones I have been in a relationship with, but I fair much better on my own. I prefer 'buddies' to being involved.

[Wetzelbill]

47. I am and I am

kinda.

I think I would like to have a good woman in my life, share some things and so on, but I am eccentric and like my space anyway. So I don't know. I like being alone, maybe a bit too much. :)

[hfojvt]

53. I got half of that

but I care tanjit, I do care, but I am not actively striving. I would not even know how - I can't meet them, if I could meet them, I could not get them, if I could get them I probably either could not or would not want to keep them. I think I would have an easier time winning the Tour de France, at least if my knee was working.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

55. Definitely loveless, but starting to care.

[TK421]

58. Okay, that would be me

[Lady President]

60. It's fine with me

First, I have to tell you that I'm going to steal "cynical life of the party type" as my new description of myself. It's the perfect explanation-- a little negative, but still fun.

I have more responsibilities than I can handle right now. The last thing I need is another person in my life. I couldn't be a caring, involved partner, and that wouldn't be fair to anyone.

[RebelOne]

61. I am one who could care less.

I was married for 9 years. Had many relationships, but I have decided that I am better off alone. I have two dogs that don't give me any backtalk and I prefer that.
