Online dating and me
I feel sorry for some of them. They just don't get it.
One guy who lives in Goleta, CA and is a retired military officer, thinks if he fills his house with toys that he will attract people. He drives a new sexy black sports car, but he has the personality of a garden slug. I could have overlooked the "trying too hard" home décor, but this guy actually thought giving me his best "stern military officer" look with his aviator glasses on was a good opener. I wanted to say, "you're kidding right?" I didn't. He was a total and complete turn-off.
Another guy, after I met him once, would call me up crying because he couldn't find his keys..... Ooooooooo Kaaaayyyyyyy. :| Way to make a good impression Romeo.
Another guy is, in my opinion, a misogynist. I can only hope other women read this. So far, this man I've reported to the Health Department, and the community pool where he floats his oozing, herpes-riddled junk all over. Don't accidentally swallow the water! Chlorine may or may not do it - I dunno. He gets as many women as he can into bed, WITHOUT telling them he has herpes. He rushes it - hoping he won't be asked "the hard questions." A lot of women find out AFTER, and are furious. He thinks he's a medical brain, and pooh-poohs their concern. He volunteers all this to me! Then he mocks my concern by emailing me an article that states genital herpes can morph into HIV. I have also forwarded this to the Health Department.
More later...... and yes I hope these men read this!

My house remodel and AN UPDATE
I've fallen in love with one of the Mexican guys working on my house. What to do? He's not married. He's younger than me. I don't want to date him necessarily - just see him and get to know him.... ahem. Oct. 2013 Wow! What a ride. I became quite emotionally unhinged by this sweet little man. I see him very seldom, maybe once a month or so.

Ex Step Son
For all the ladies out there who are considering marrying someone with children - DON'T. For the most part, not always, but for the most part step-children are a sure fire way to:
- have a heart attack/stroke
- break up/divorce
- go to prison for life for murder
In my view, unless the kids are infants (3 weeks or less), or grown and living in another country, or on Mars, RUN!
The man you are marrying will usually have guilt issues for ending up divorced from the kids' mother. These guilt issues will ruin the kids, you, anyone who loves you/care about you, your relationship. It is invariably a toxic situation.
The kids usually never cease from wishing their parents would get back together, and they end up resenting YOU. Not always of course - there are exceptions. But for the most part, you can't win.

FAMOUS SNARKY LINES OF MY SISTER
- "I'm so glad you quit SMOKING!"
By the way, the act of quitting smoking she was talking about was when I was a teenager - a full 20 YEARS prior.
Backstory: Never coming up to me privately, intimately and telling me this. No - she trumpets it to anyone and everyone in her living room that day in ~1983 while we all were enjoying a child's birthday party. My two aunts and I were conversing together about cooking or some recipe we tried and liked, and Nancy barges in to our space, interupts us to say..... what? that she loves that recipe too!? No. That she has a recipe she wants to share with us? No. She bellows out in an embarrassing too-obvious fashion that, "I'm so glad you quit SMOKING!" Are we being a little too obvious? Are our attempts at making Beverly look bad a little too obviously self-serving.
My aunts and I just gawked at her! None of us could figure out her timing! LOL! - "We have the things that money CAN'T buy" Backstory:
- "I don't feel any affection for her. Not one iota" Backstory:
