"lasting romance" yuk!

Ron Holzwarth 1 year, 3 months ago

Yes, of course! It all depends on what you mean by "lasting romance." Do you mean until next week? Or do you mean until next month?

I wonder just how long knitting needles would have to be to reach my brain after I stick them in my eyes.

Maybe if it was one of those shows were the contestants try to form relationships with inanimate objects. (Says to rock) WHY WON'T YOU TALK TO ME???!!!!

Ron Holzwarth 1 year, 3 months ago

tange, I have known two people that got married to someone they met online, one man and one woman. The man I don't know how it worked out because he moved to Georgia, where she lived, and I never saw him again.

But, I did see the woman that got married to someone she met online, and as a direct result of that marriage, I contracted a very serious case of the dreaded 'foot in mouth' disease.

I knew her years ago, and the last I heard was that she had moved to Kansas City with her new husband, who I never met, and he was her second husband. After that, I did not see her for years.

Then one day in Topeka I was eating at a restaurant and a couple tables away, there she was! It was very nice to see her again. So we greeted each other and I walked over to her table.

She introduced me to her husband, and I told him that I was very pleased to meet him. Then I very quickly did a calculation in my head, and yes I was accurate, and I said:

"So you've been married about nine years?"

There were a few awkward moments of silence. Whoops.

Her new husband broke the silence by saying,

"No, we've been married about six months. We met in a chat room."

I would give the chance of finding a lasting romance a 6 on the Bristol Stool Scale.

I'm starting a reality show called 'Jack McKee needs Love Too". The three ladies above are my first contestants.

RoeDapple 1 year, 3 months ago

Maybe a show called "Hot Pursuit" . . . but no, they already did a couple of movies by that name. . . The Mrs tells me if I were courtin' her today she could have me arrested for stalkin' her.

No idea why she would say that.

RoeDapple 1 year, 3 months ago

WHAT ! The WWE is REAL ! (say it isn't so . . .)

CWGOKU 1 year, 3 months ago

Sure, love can be found anywhere. Even on a few city corners for cash. As for reality TV, I never watch it, horrible, horrible stuff. I can always find something better to watch or just turn the TV off and go outside or read

RoeDapple 1 year, 3 months ago

Yup . . funny thing 'bout them ladies. They all makes fun of it but ain't a one what cain't win a trivia contest aboutit.

(Roe kisses bicep . . Mrs Roe shouts, "Big Pappa Pump!"

Maybe you should get a FB page?

labmonkey 1 year, 3 months ago

At least Roe stalks The Rock (kinda rhymes)... nowhere near as bad as someone stalking another LJworld commenter.

RoeDapple 1 year, 3 months ago

maybe I already have one . . . send me your name, address, phone#, soc. sec.#, latest bank statement, a copy of your DL and your mothers maiden name and maybe we could be friends. Maybe . . .

Ron Holzwarth 1 year, 3 months ago

You forgot that you also need a credit card #, and also its security code and expiration date.

labmonkey 1 year, 3 months ago

So Marissa likes to be filmed.....

SEND ME a card, I'm keeping A FILE of them.

riverdrifter 1 year, 3 months ago

Now, that's funny!

rockchalker52 1 year, 3 months ago

Romance. The definition changes all the time. Anything is possible, I s'pose.

FB = flux blessed?

CWGOKU 1 year, 3 months ago

Thank you, I was wondering what FB meant

rockchalker52 1 year, 3 months ago

Hey, Dapple, do I hafta start calling you Rock Stalker? That's an awful lot like my handle, buster. I guess it's OK, but you're gonna need to update your status. Will you be my friend? Purely platonic, of course. No romance - unless we can get on TV.

RoeDapple 1 year, 3 months ago

pm me ;-)

faceit 1 year, 3 months ago

I kind of had a theory that rc52 & RD were the same person and now you're talking (to yourself). I guess you can find romance on a reality show.

labmonkey 1 year, 3 months ago

And stalker #2 (or flux's other ID) makes their appearance. Roe needs to start counter-stalking.

faceit 1 year, 3 months ago

It would seem the you're the only "stalker " here. You're not even in this conversation, but here you are.

labmonkey 1 year, 3 months ago

Why is almost every comment from you and flux a comment about ROE? You can go through all my comments and see that I stalk noone. You look through your's and flux's comments, almost exclusively a reply to ROE.

RoeDapple 1 year, 3 months ago

"Roe needs to start counter-stalking."

Nah, I'll stick with stalker baiting . . . You might say I'm a "master" at it . . .

(Oh, and don't forget flux/faceit's third ID , rantor)

faceit 1 year, 3 months ago

No connection there roe, but it would seem, we do all have one thing in common. We just happen to be the ones that would be happy to see someone else find a place where they might be appreciated. A more appropriate place on the Internet. A place where one can chatter as much as they want. Where they can send private messages or make public postings, show pictures and links to things they deem funny. A place where they can invite everyone they know to be their friend. A place where the passion and compulsion meet and can be satisfied. We're here for you, to help you, because we care, out of goodness, charity, and love.
