Dear So and So

[Dogmama]

Dear Potential Bike Date,

Did I scare you when I told you I have a child? Or are you just busy and haven't had time to answer my email? I'm going to go think positive thoughts and remind myself that I must be true to myself as I enter the dating pool for the first time, well, ever.

Realizingthisaboutmenotyou,

fixedgeargirl

Be thankful you found out now that he's pond scum!

Dear Student,

If you have gotten to your fourth year at this prestigious university and you still don't know the course catalog from the class schedule, you need more than a phone call to me (rather than your own advisor) to help you register for classes.

I am surprised you haven't flunked out yet.

Around here, even grad students need to be spoon fed.

Sometimes they surprise you by walking upright....

as a postal worker in my spare time, i would not like to see this come through the mail! besides if you were to make one exception, just this one time, wouldn't a picture work too?

Years ago (like 30) a good friend of mine would send me a small dead clam from Maine to Arizona in the middle of the summer. Opening up a mailbox where it had been "cooking" for several hours...the smell would knock you over. I would beg her to NOT send the clam, and she would laugh & send it anyway. Always felt sorry for the poor postal workers who had to deal with this.

In defense of Fixedgeargirl's poor bike date:
Even if he were totally into her, he would have to be honest about whether or not he was ready for fatherhood. It's not *for* everyone. If he weren't honest about that but was terribly unhappy around/didn't know how to deal with kids, that would be far worse than his breaking off dating early on. Just b/c you can't handle kids doesn't mean you're necessarily pond scum.
Case in point, my gf wants to have kids sometime soon (is watching the clock tick) and sadly there are enough years between us that I'm too young to be okay with having kids yet. Does that make me a bad partner? Maybe, but I have to worry about my happiness, too. Give the poor guy a break.

Dear DGF's parents:
Hate to say it, but you have to grow up.
Your oldest daughter is almost 30 and still terrified of the thought that you might find out she has a gf.

May the day come soon when differences in sexual orientation are no more important than differences in handedness. And when beliefs are shaped by human kindness and scientific fact.

Again, thank you for inquiring about my services. Perhaps we can speak again when you acquire a horse. Preferably a live one.

Warmest regards,
Joy

HA! Thank you for that! Whew. I needed that chuckle. But now, the real question: Would you accept her dead, frozen horse as a subject?

Joy, is your avatar one of your paintings? It's beautiful. Do you have a website of your work? (I promise not to forward it to any demented rich people.)

[chickwhorips]

HA! Thank you for that! Whew. I needed that chuckle. But now, the real question: Would you accept her dead, frozen horse as a subject?

she can't ship it priority mail, so i don't think she would even try to send it.

Hear, hear. (I often use handedness as an example)

Interesting trivia: 60% of lesbians and 30% of gay men are left-handed.

Dear Goddess...

Thank you sooooo much for propelling me up the 4000 feet to the top of the mountain last Saturday. I wanted to do it, but had some doubts, so this was a nice surprise.

Now, if it isn't too, too much to ask. I know, I know - I'm always asking for stuff...

One day can I have a date? Somebody nice, smart, honest, sweet, funny, and adventerous who isn't afraid of a very opinionated, leftist, outspoken, feminist, often volunteering, activist, bike crazy woman. Looks are secondary, chemistry a plus, flossing a must

[Kitsune06]

I wonder how that applies to ambidexterity?

That explains that ! my husband often says that he's really a lesbian
in a man's body! (he's lefty)

[DebW]

I think they divide it into right-handed and non-right-handed. So we lefties are claiming you for our team. I really wanted a left-handed child. All I got was two righties. And so far one is straight and one is undeclared. I can still hope.

[Bluetree]

Thanks Lise, I sent you the web site address vie e-mail.
And yes, I have painted many dead horses... all from photographs taken when they were still alive!

OMG. Hate to say it, but 9/10 of men I have ever met and actually spoken to on the topic claim that as well. ...A man who likes women does not a lesbian with convenient attachments make.
