Rightly so, it seems.

Look Robyn, it's MY HOUSE and I can put up what I want.

Truthfully? After the trauma of my last marriage, I hide in my home. I don't go out unless I need to. If I talk to a woman online (It happens, usually an accident on her part) and we become friends with possibilities, I get panic attacks and run away. Dating? Never going to happen. After what I've been through, I'm too damaged to even try. And with my track record, I'm at the point of any relationship becoming a part of my cycle of picking the wrong women, or a self fulfilling prophesy of failure on my part.

I don't want to hurt any potential partners, and I can't stand any more hurt myself, so....I hide.

Why am I telling you this? I dunno. I don't care what people think about me, really. Can't be worse than what I think of myself.

I'll shut up now, sorry.

That's nothing to be ashamed of, I never thought I'd ever marry again after my first disastrous marriage, I stayed single for 16 years. I only remarried because I got lucky and met someone who is a great partner and understands me. There are some very strange persons out there. Be safe and take care of yourself.

Thanks. I'm happy for you. At my age (I'll be 59 in a few days), I've pretty much given up. Safer that way. I've dedicated my life to my daughter and my rabbits, and it's a good enough life.

In one of the life drawing classes I took...first had to draw a skeleton... accurately/scientifically...then superimpose the muscular system over that...accurately/scientifically...then the body superimposed over both.

I bet it depends on the artist.

The Bible does in fact say "Jesus wept"

Yeah, me too. It was a much saner before-time.

Yes, and then they look at you, and expect you to fix it, because "You're the smart one."

With each other's spouses behind their spouses backs, yes.

Richard Marx, has he even done anything since the 80's, or is it the last name?

My favorite verse, now I know why!

I took a figure drawing class, here, in the Ringling school of art, and I was the only woman in the class. I learned a lot, and my several semesters of Anatomy were very helpful. I never tried working from the skeleton on up though.

Oh, I would guess those anatomy classes were quite helpful, amica mia. : )
