Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats. - Howard Aiken
It is almost Christmas. A wet miserable and clammy day.
The search for a new friend to replace my ex-wife continues. I am not having fun. I never thought I would end up like this, it wasn’t in my life script, to be divorced.
Now, trying to find some one new I display all of my talents as a social moron. There is no experience here. Being married was a full time job and there was no philandering, no quick hook ups, no practicing lines on women to get them into bed.
Having spent 10 years in state government I know all about PC and have no problem with it. But that is a problem. One date the woman took out her wallet when the bill arrived. In PC world that means she wants to be responsible for herself, not bought and paid for. The next day she complains that “I really expected you to pay for the dinner.” Then, why did she take out her wallet?
Another complained that the signature on my e-mail was ‘aggressive.’ I use a hand written signature.
One delightful lady wrote a 323 word profile of herself (copied it to Word and had the program count). It included that she wanted ‘some one open minded.’ But also, ‘no republicans.’ I can’t imagine anyone as closed minded as that. Ah, then there was the damsel who said: “Please, I just saw a friend die of diabetes, so if you have this awful disease don’t contact me.” I don’t but of course I didn’t.And, it is amazing how many women say ‘not religious’ when they mean Jewish. What are they afraid of?
