Tomorow I'll have been going steady for 37 years  It happens in a flash, but the memory of it last forever. It can not be borrowed or stolen, and it is of no earthly good until it is given away. So if in your hurry you meet someone who is too weary to smile, leave him one of yours, for no one needs a smile quite as much as he who has none to give... |

| Ronnie is absolutely right about the compromises. Relationships are work. If they are more work than fun, then it's time to cut it off if no improvement is forthcoming. Making a relationship work is a conscious decision required of both parties. It is an ever evolving thing if it's working right. Jae, I don't agree. There are lots of diamonds in the rough. I have known many, especially among my friends's spouses. In really tough times, those diamonds shine through, but one must be patient to see it. Happy Anniversary Ronnie!  |

| Stormy, I'm taking exception here to an implication I lthought I read between your lines. I agree that good relationships require work from both sides. And both of the long term ones that I was involved in worked that way. The first was perhaps a bit too much friendship weighted. The second had many external extenuating circumstances. I kid some, but have no regrets in either case. By now in life though I simply don't see another relationship of such demeanor as something that I necessarily want to pursue. nor would I wish to discount the efforts of those who do.

| Jae, No implication was intended toward anyone at all. Unless it was towards Hollywood and lots of trash fiction about love at first sight and all of that jazz. Let alone all of the talk about soulmates. Yes, there can be intense initial attractions, but it takes constant work to keep the relationship growing and moving forward. For almost every good relationship it takes constant compromises on both parts, but again, an out right dedication to committing to make the relationship work. Jae, it just may be that one day, a good person will come your way and before you know it, a spark will ignite and something will grow from it. It's not a must have as you well know, but it is very nice to have a good one. The ones that I have had that died were because the other person quit working at it. I don't regret any of them, but should have left one sooner than I did. The one that I am presently involved in and have been for many years, started with the roughest of diamonds and has turned out to be the best. Maybe it was the fact that I soon noticed that every one of my GF's had his phone # and would call him whenever they needed help with anything. Or maybe it was that everyone always wanted me to bring him everywhere. I will have to say that I think laughter has an awful lot to do with it. He has kept us all in stitches for years, especially when he hasn't even been trying. |

| Some negative people are just do their best to rain on your parade. Remember this story the next time someone who knows nothing and cares less tries to make your life miserable: A woman was at her hairdresser's getting her hair styled for a trip to Rome with her husband.. She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who responded: "Rome ? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded and dirty.. You're crazy to go to Rome . So, how are you getting there?" "We're taking Continental," was the reply. "We got a great rate!" "Continental?" exclaimed the hairdresser. " That's a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they're always late. So, where are you staying in Rome ?" "We'll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome'sTiber River called Teste." "Don't go any further. I know that place. Everybody thinks its gonna be something special and exclusive, but it's really a dump." "We're going to go to see the Vatican and maybe get to see the Pope." "That's rich," laughed the hairdresser. You and a million other people trying to see him. He'll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to need it." A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo. The hairdresser asked her about her trip to Rome . "It was wonderful," explained the woman, "not only were we on time in one of Continental's brand new planes, but it was overbooked, and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a handsome 28-year-old steward who waited on me hand and foot. And the hotel was great! They'd just finished a $5 million remodeling job, and now it's a jewel, the finest hotel in the city. They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us their owner's suite at no extra charge!" "Well," muttered the hairdresser, "that's all well and good, but I know you didn't get to see the Pope." "Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder, and explained that the Pope likes to meet some of the visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me. Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me." "Oh, really! What'd he say ?" He said: "Who f**ked up your hair?" In the end, only kindness matters. Art and Artists & The Reading Room http://cubits.org/thereadingroom/ |

| HAVE YOU EVER BEEN GUILTY OF LOOKING AT OTHERS YOUR OWN AGE AND THINKING, SURELY I CAN'T LOOK THAT OLD? WELL......YOU'LL LOVE THIS ONE! MY NAME IS ALICE SMITH AND I WAS SITTING IN THE WAITING ROOM FOR MY FIRST APPOINTMENT WITH A NEW DENTIST. I NOTICED HIS DENTAL DIPLOMA, WHICH BORE HIS FULL NAME. SUDDENLY, I REMEMBERED A TALL, HANDSOME, DARK HAIRED BOY WITH THE SAME NAME HAD BEEN IN MY SECONDARY SCHOOL CLASS SOME 30-ODD YEARS AGO. COULD HE BE THE SAME GUY THAT I HAD A SECRET CRUSH ON, WAY BACK THEN? UPON SEEING HIM, HOWEVER, I QUICKLY DISCARDED ANY SUCH THOUGHT. THIS BALDING, GREY HAIRED MAN WITH THE DEEPLY LINED FACE WAS FAR TOO OLD TO HAVE BEEN MY CLASSMATE. AFTER HE EXAMINED MY TEETH, I ASKED HIM IF HE HAD ATTENDED MORGAN PARK SECONDARY SCHOOL .. 'YES, YES I DID. I'M A MORGANNER! 'HE BEAMED WITH PRIDE. 'WHEN DID YOU LEAVE TO GO TO COLLEGE?' I ASKED HE ANSWERED, IN 1965. WHY DO YOU ASK? 'YOU WERE IN MY CLASS!' I EXCLAIMED. HE LOOKED AT ME CLOSELY. THEN THE UGLY, OLD, BALD, WRINKLED, FAT ARSED, GREY HAIRED, DECREPIT, BASTARD ASKED.. 'WHAT DID YOU TEACH?' |
