> Should be the case, but because I work I have to be privately insured and pay through the nose for everything or join a list and wait for everything.
Sure you do... Everybody has to join a list and wait... If you join a list now then waiting won't be so hard... You could join and then go and meet someone when they become available and then never go back if you don't like 'em very much. But isn't it worth a shot??? You might find it helpful to be able to talk to someone IRL.
>Maybe it's just I like to do things the hard way and work them out for myself. Might also be that I have a tendency to be just a tad cynical and sceptical. ;-)
Ah. Commendable attributes IMO :-)
But sometimes a little help can be helpful...
> AAARRRRRRHHHHHHHH, don't you just hate that - what are they thinking??????? My personal favorite was "You just choose to be like that." HELLO - like anyone would choose to be like this EEEYYYAAAHHYeah...
> No, I was just denying that the problems existed and believing that the absence of things and feelings I thought should have been there was just something wrong with me.
Oh. I understand. I fair chunk of my life was like that too..
> Touch and physical intimacy issues must be harder for a woman as we men place so much unfair pressure/expectation/resposibility/blame on you.Ah, but guys don't hug - remember???
> I'm getting better with the polite social stuff. Anything more is not much of an issue for me since I haven't been in that position for just over a decade.
Yeah. I am getting a bit better at the social stuff too. Also getting better with drawing a bit of a line and saying 'it isn't worth it to me'. Not feeling bad for the amount of time I want to spend by myself or on the computer or whatever ;-)
> And you must've felt good seeing them happy??Yeah. Just a bit sad to have lost their attachment to me. But happy for them, yeah.
> A lot like a Springer but a short coat. Just such a beautiful sensitive nature.yeah. Sensitive and friendly. Spaniels are great. And pointers too by the sounds of it. Does she point?
> Couldn't do the vegan thing - too many food alergies. But I admire you for trying :-)What are you allergic to??
How about vegetarian??
(marks for persistence) ;-)
> Well I didn't think an intellectual pygmy like me would add too much to the debate so stayed out of it.Oh no, the more thoughts the merrier..
>Trying to find sufficient time to enter it is also a problem.
Fair enough.
>I think those you are tutoring are very lucky to have you.
Oh, I didn't tutor 'em, just failed 'em ;-)
Just kidding... I just did a bit of marking for the course... Tutoring starts up for me on Monday... Eep. It is fairly daunting when you have a roomful of new people.
