You love her  
But she loves him  
And he loves somebody else  
You just can’t win

And so it goes  
Till the day you die  
This thing they call love  
It’s gonna make you cry

I’ve had the blues  
The reds and the pinks  
One thing for sure…

…Love stinks

I read this thread backwards (I know, heroic right). When I first read this I thought it was just another parody post, and jolly funny at that.

That means something, I don’t know what exactly; maybe _don’t read threads backwards_.

To the OP - Please stop using double commas. The extra time to pause required by each means I can only read one post per day.

And, what with all the camping, I was waiting for a link to a news item that began “Police yesterday found a shallow grave…”

Last thread  
Back with Emma, ,my special love  
She has changed tk s much more sensual woman, , Joan is pale in comparison in passion and sexuallity,  
I didn’t realize what a special woman Emma is,  
She knows about Joan ( but not about camping  
Wish me luck 😉  
This might end up to be a happy ending after all

I am going to become celibate after just having read this thread. OP, you need to realize that you do not love either of these chicks and they do not love you. Depending on your age, you can roll with it. Just be honest and above board with everyone.

Three days with Joan and now back with Emma. Well, you gave it a shot.

Admit it, “Joan” and “Emma” are your left and right hands, aren’t they?

I wish all three of you many happy endings.

How much did Emma change in three days? Did Joan’s family fall into an unfortunate financial situation?

You’re happy, married, & celibate for over 2 years???  
Usually, one of those doesn’t go with the other two.

I’m guessing that the introduction to the family didn’t go so well. Either that, or the nasal jizzing experiment. Or, just possibly, the OP made the mistake of combining the two, instead of doing one after the other.

Unless Joan is simply back with motorcycle boy again.

Why Emma keeps taking our hero back is a mystery to me, though. Unlike Joan, she must really like having her nose jizzed.
