Well, this thread seems to be petering out, if you’ll pardon the expression. But, at the risk of giving **Robot Arm** a stroke, I thought I’d offer one more update. With over 11K views, someone is bound to still be lurking out there. No word from Theresa (the heartless wench!). Dinner with Harmony, tonight. Maybe dessert, maybe not. She’s going through some crap with her ex that may make her less interested, for the time being. Although, her last words on the subject were “blissful” and “unbelievable”. 😃 So, who knows. **Robot Arm** , if you’re reading this, you might want to stop, now. Because, I’ve also made successful contact with two more women on Match. One wants to meet for drinks; the other I’m still chatting with, via email. So, we’ll see. ---

On the other hand, the one who wanted to meet me hasn’t responded, yet. Not that it’s been long, but one of the nights I proposed is tomorrow. Guess that won’t be happening. Maybe Friday? ---

Wasn’t intended as a slight, at all. Have you not noticed that I generally don’t use bold when I call you Dream Girl? I usually only bold actual screen names, not my nicknames for people. But, I can bold you, if you like, **Dream Girl**. 🙂 Oh, and here’s an interesting twist for ya. Monica, the lady I’ve been emailing with, recently, sent me her fourth email. (LOVE those speedy responses!) In it, she invited me to a small party, this Saturday evening. _Yikes! Stress spike! Ack! Massive social pressure ahead!_ Hosted by a man, but otherwise all female! _Umm…wellll…hmm. Dunno what that means._ And, mentioned she has a friend who loves bald men. _D’oh! I know what **that** means!_ But, also mentioned getting to meet her. _Okay, maybe I don’t know what it means._ Anyone got a clue I can buy? I’ll pay fair market rate. Oh, and **Robot Arm** , she also suggested maybe I could bring a male friend. Of course, it’s the night of both the Dopefest and your bike ride. It’s unclear how many women will be there, but it would be at least three, maybe more. And, it sounds like they’re all available. ---

Oh, and **D.Bear** I don’t think you need to take **FreeBe** personally. I also saw them show up in a another thread where they were having to spend a fair number of posts explaining that the harsh-reading thing they posted was just supposed to be funny. So, I’m thinking they just have a bit of difficulty descerning how their words sound, in print. An entirely different malady, I might point out, than those of us who simply hav difcultie Gattting r wurds InTo prynt, what with all that letter-by-letter cutting stuff out of the Newspaper and stuff! Specially stuff! (skipping the Major trouble I got into, earlier, by inadvertantly ‘slighting’ all the beautiful women in a mere 11 of the astrological signs.) A small "none of my business, but, side note: **FreeBe** , none of my business, and I would have said this to you in an email, but your address doesn’t show … IMHO, if, in a thread you are actually Told it is not for you to close it … probably not Ever gonna end up reading as funny, to close it again … even if you think the OP is closing it. Just a small tip from the “not getting your ‘cool and everything … butt’ flamed” school of comedy. ---

Not mentioning the names of any mechanical devices, mind you, but I did offer that service to a certain friend, recently, and was turned down. But, I don’t wanna be Rich, anyway.

Hum… a small party, hosted by a man, but attended by only women! **D.Bear** if it were out in “my neighborhood” (taking the Entire San Francisco Bay Area as “my neighborhood”) I could Tell you what that party was! Out here, we have the highly famous, “Your Tupperware Lady is a Man!®” Highly entertaining and Highly Flaming (not like in the “pit”) and Highly Successful Tupperware Sales Guy! Not an entirely bad thing though, dude, being invited to a tupperware party populated by bald-guy loving women who just can Wait to get their hands on … some tightly sealing containers … philosophical note here: A dear friend of mine (gay) happened to have the privilege of going to a T-ware party with this guy as the presenter. My friend got into a discussion with a woman (gay) there, that went along the deep philosophical lines of … “Can you imagine a ‘straight’ guy selling T-ware?” “Naw, no way! … But can you imagine a really ‘butch’ lesbian selling T-ware?” “Oh, H\*ll no!” … long ponder … “So, what IS it, do you think, about sleeping with men that Would make you think in terms of special little containers?..” I’ve pondered this for a few years, now, and I think they were on to something … dunno What, but … well, maybe I just need a few more beers to get it figured out! Oh, by the way, **D.Bear** if they start discussing taking you, “all expenses paid” to the orient to “do some dancing in a stage show” and they tell you not to worry about being a dancer, they’ll train you, once you’re over there … don’t go. ---
