Well, I have to direct the humor somewhere... And cows are such good sports.

... And I can't imagine Big Foot having a great sense of humor. Unless he's just been playin' a really long game of hide 'n' seek all these years.

...Who knows, maybe he's just playin' hard to get.

Oh...Jeff.. Maybe you can appreciate this since we were talking about the rural thing earlier in this thread...

I'm going to a pig show at the 4-H Fair tomorrow. My kids actually show pigs and sheep. I sit there chuckling to myself because I NEVER in a million years would have guessed I would be doing that. When I was dating my now-ex husband he said he used to "show" pigs. I looked at him with the most puzzled look and asked,"What do you show them? Do they do tricks?" LOL.... well, now I know.

Wow... I took a peek at your website and I have to say that I am pretty damn impressed (look at you scoring points already). That had to have taken ALOT of work to accomplish, and you did it all by yourself!? And you say there is more to come. I definitely think you have the right to brag about your work. You set out for yourself a major goal, and you met it... and then some. Congratulations... applause.

I do think that I am going to go into business for myself in the future, but I don't think I quite have the knowledge or experience yet to do so. I really want to open a night club/bar or restaurant. I seem to love the night life and all that socializing and fun (who doesn't). But, I have always thrown the best parties, or so my friends say. I also have a favorite restaurant/bar here in town that I frequent quite often. All the bartenders, some of the waitresses, and even the owner know me pretty well (I am suddenly reminded of a classic sitcom...hmmmm). I am always telling them my ideas for the bar-some are serious, but most are just sarcastic jokes. And, you know what? Some of them have actually come to fruition. Look at me... now I'm bragging. LOL.

As for the Libra thing, I don't think it actually has to do with marriage, per se. Libra is about balance and partnerships, but all partnerships. Business to romance, friendship to adversaries. And Pluto is about transformation, meaning I look to transform all those realtionships I am a part of (always for the better, of course). But, I just don't think marriage is necessary. If you love and cherish a person, truly, then why do we need a legal document to tell us so? Marriage seems like it has been established as a type of social success. I understand the wedding thing as a celebration of two peoples love for one another, but it seems like it has become more of a rite of passage, or a ritual to show ones coming of age. Love seems to become less and less the focal point, as profit, social or even monetary, slowly makes its way in. Call me a skeptic, but how else does one explain a divorce rate hovering right around 60%?

LOL for the couch potatoes, though I think I may be slowly turning into one. Not really because I enjoy it, but because I work so much as it is, that by the time I get home all that really tickles my fancy is lounging around and getting as much rest as possible for the coming day. But even that gets old very quickly, and I have to get up and out. I need socialization to keep the insanity at bay, but I need just as much quite time. If I don't recharge my batteries, I get cranky, and no one likes me when I'm cranky. Not even me.

And I do agree on the clingy thing. Why spend so much time together? Absence makes the heart grow fonder, so let the tension build. Things are so much better when you delay instant gratification. The intensity just rises and rises and rises until it just has to let itself out. And there ain't no better feelin' than that!

...And I agree that we men can be babies. I already got one of the best mothers in the world. Why would I want another? Though I do enjoy being pampered every now and again... especially with head massages. I am putty in any woman's hands when it comes to those. Thats when the Leo in me comes out. I can't help but to purrrrr.

As for long distance, I have never had a relationship that falls under that category. I like to see who I am with in person. I don't like long drawn-out phone conversations anyway. The phone is for setting up face-to-face meetings, not divulging your entire life story. The phone takes all the mystery out of the relationship, but only if you let it.

Here's to keeping the mystery alive! Cheers!
