Quotes!! If Ioan likes them THAT much...

:rotf: Good one GG! I would say. "Why limit yourself to the coffee cream when the whole box is available?" (Husbands are definitely overrated, in my book! :whistle ) In mine too. :wink: *looking over my shoulder* OMG!!!!........ No.... no!!!! ........no!!!!!! Cris just...... put that chair down!!!!!!! Why have I just had a mental picture of Hob and Nob singing "Silvia, get your gun!" ? *rubbing the head after mayor "chair encounter"* I don´t think I can grab my own gun (my hubby it´s mad at me ... for some reason :roll: ) so..... can I grab your gun Ioan??!!! :wink: :mrgreen: :razz: :twisted:

Frances, I've been in the same predicament myself,and yours is an excellent comeback!! People just don't think before engaging their tongues, do they?

I've also happened to say things without thinking where my words could lead to. Anyway, I guess my English teacher at high school was right when she said to her pupils "Please, remember to switch on your brain before opening your mouth."

Sage advice, that's for certain!!

That's one that translates through many cultures. Good one, Frances.

Too true it is friends! Um Silvia - I hope you've recovered from your "chair encounter". :shock :lol: Stevie - I LOVE that quote!!! GG - do you ever feel as though people make us singles out to be something of a diseased lot??? And just when I thought we'd evolved in our way of life. We're back to women having to take a husband in order to count for something. :roll: In any case, I like your comeback. Just be sure the woman's not too intelligent otherwise your comment wouldn't make much sense.

In any case, I like your comeback. Just be sure the woman's not too intelligent otherwise your comment wouldn't make much sense. True, True, though I suppose if they are dumb enough to ask that question, not out of true concern, but out of being judgemental, then I wouldn't considere them very intelligent. Actually, I'm hoping someone comes up with something better. Any takers? I actually had a group of friends from work who were going to a combination dinner / seder, so basically a religious event with lots of other people. They all had spouses, made arrangements, never telling me or asking if I'd like to go, because they assumed I would not want to go since they were all married. I found out about it when I was asked to babysit. Now, I have no problem helping out a married couple with kids when they wnat to have some adult socializing time with another couple, but this was a religious and social event that everyone else from work was attending. What!!!!! I refused, explained that I found it offensive to be treated like I wasn't a part of the group and how it would have been better to ask if I would feel uncomfortable or wanted to ask a friend. Anyway, I made other plans for the night and let someone else babysit. So being single can be difficult - not to mention those women who do think you are after their husband. Sheeeesh! In most cases, I wouldn't want him and wonder why you do. There have been a few I wouldn't have minded, but that's not a line I'd cross. My friendships mean more to me than that. :oops: Sore spot! Can you tell? :waaah:

Having just looked up some info on Rudolph Valentino I found this quote. He had 80,000 admirers, mostly women show up at his funeral. "Women are not in love with me but with the picture of me on the screen. I am merely the canvas on which women paint their dreams." Rudolph Valentino

Now THERE's a man who must have know his women. :razz: Beautifully said, Rudy. At least he understood the difference between women having an idea and women being an idea. Take notes, Mr Gruffudd, if you please. :roll:

I have five quotes that I love: Life is pain. Anyone who says different is selling something.-The Princess Bride Those whom fortune favors find good luck even in their sleep. Blackbird singing in the dead of night, take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, you were only waiting for this moment to arise.- Blackbird by The Beatles Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.-Dr. Seuss The quote I live by: Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.-Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Hey Gaff - I'm so with you on this. Girlfriend, trust me I know where you stand. Hell in fact, I have a wedding to attend at the end of next month. Now originally I was supposed to be standing up in it but I had to back out because of my financial situation. But I'm of course still going. So I asked my one friend to go with me - but seeing as we're no longer friends, she won't be coming. And then another of our friends was supposed to be going but I guess she's closing on her new house....the day before the wedding. *sigh* :dunno Now the three of us were going to split a hotel room so we didn't have to worry about driving all the way home tired/drunk/etc. Now with the both of them backing out, I have no one. So I guess I'll be driving home that night anyway because I can't afford $100 for the room by myself. Not since I still have to get a wedding present AND an outfit. And it's Christmas. (Seriously, it really urkes me when people plan a wedding so close to a major shopping holiday like Christmas. This is the second one I've been to - only last time I was actually IN it. :roll: ) Oh and I will also be sitting at a table with a bunch of people I don't know for dinner. Yip-pee. What perplexes me most is that I've so many people say that weddings are the best places to find somebody. Oh yeah? How is that? Everybody who goes to a wedding is either already married themselves OR they brought a date. And usually it's someone they're dating, living with, engaged to or want to be with. And then it's kids after that. And of course, now that I'm 30, the range of available men is very small. Because of course at this stage in my life, they're all married and working on families. So if I do end up with somebody (which is looking highly doubtful anymore) he'll probably be divorced. Possibly even with a child. Lovely. What's even better is my friends then ask me why I dont' just "get out there". Where exactly is "out there"?? A bar? Really? No thanks. Internet. Yeah that's even more doubtful. Work? Um thanks but I can't stand the people I work with as is. Let's just add the fact that 90% of the men I do work with are 20 years older than me and yeah married. But of course do any of my friends have anybody to set me up with?? No. Ok so thanks for being helpful. Oh wait! I forgot - I'm only of use if I want unattached, casual sex from the men they know. Splendid. I just want to know where society's thinking converted back to the 1950's??? I thought it was ok and acceptable to be a single woman making it on her own??? Apparently we're to be pitied though. Yes Gaff, sore subject with me too.

Yes Gnat, you would expect society to be more accepting of single people (women really have it hard) since there are so many out there. My friend's idea of help came in the form of a 400lb, cigar smoking, overall wearing man who couldn't speak clearly enough to be understood. Needless to say I'm still single and following my Rudolph Valentino quote. :wink: And still searching - not for perfection, just someone I would enjoy spending my life with, until then, I'll enjoy the view. :naughty

(Seriously, it really urkes me when people plan a wedding so close to a major shopping holiday like Christmas. This is the second one I've been to - only last time I was actually IN it. :roll: ) And what about weddings concentrating in May, June, and September? I've had years where I had to attend four weddings in less than two months.

I feel you on that too Frances. 1996 was that year for me. Everybody I knew got married. Hey Gaff - here here and Amen!
