    I smolder with rage when they're financially supporting their adult offspring and their grandchildren then they won't buy me a pair of front row tickets to the Barry Manilow concert.

    That's because you came and you gave without taking, but I sent you away.

    @newmeadow is Maggie?

    You're so mean. And it was Mandy. She was his dog. He wrote that song for her. Didn't you watch his interview on the Today Show?

    Time for fact checking...

    I'm not mean. At least not right now. :flowerforyou:
    The song was originally Brandy, not recorded first by Manilow, and thus not about Manilow's anything. He didn't write it, he only changed the name and covered it.
    The original writer has clarified that the song wasn't about a dog, that was only a ruse to get rid of a reporter.
    I've only watched the Today show as a captive in a dentist's chair. I find it incredibly shallow television.

    I have no idea about Mandy's or dogs or Barry Manilow, but I do know how to page @newmeadow aaaaand be unintentionally mean.

    Damn, Leut! Who knew you were the resident Manilow expert?

    Umm, good luck with your endeavor towards finding perfection. 😁😁

    Thanks. With 7 billion people in the world, I'm sure I can find one or two that fit the bill. :smiley:

    You're single aren't you? 😂😆 kidding..

    Jo!! HAaahah I thought something very similar! What a list bro.

    Yes, I am single, but I'd rather be single and content (which I am) than dating and miserable, and I find it sad that people seem to think that being in a relationship requires some measure of selling out. There is a reason people have standards, and I've seen too many friends and family members in *kitten* relationships because they are afraid to be alone so they lower their standards and expectations, which is monumentally stupid. Relationships should make you happy; they should make you feel good, not stressed out and not like you compromised yourself, but too many people are quick to do that out of desperation, and then justify it to themselves in some fashion or other. That doesn't include when the investment model kicks in and people stay in relationships simply because of the amount of time they've spent in it - again, monumentally stupid.

    Think about all the relationships you've been in and think about how they impacted the subsequent relationship - you avoided the things you didn't like in previous relationships when going into the new one, and you kept an eye out for any appearance of these things (because people are just so full of artifice when first dating), so everyone has a list of things that are acceptable and unacceptable (and the unacceptable can be divided into hard and soft limits) when it comes to dating, and this list is based on past experience of what made you unhappy in previous relationships - why repeat the past if it made you so effing miserable the first time around?

    Dude. I'm tryin' to watch porn over here..you're killing my boner.

    The things I do for my friends...

    If she doesn’t send a friend request that includes a nude of herself with the words “Be my friend. FOREVER!” scrawled on it in red lipstick - or blood, who can tell? She is just not that into you.

    Lookin’ at you, @AgainWithTheSurfyPants...

    yes

    To what? I'm guessing the first one, cause I never met anyone who could say yes to the second one.
