I do not know why Steve and Rivergirl are taking potshots at anyone, let alone me. Old lecherous men. You know not of what you speak. I think I just read another thread about tequila making you take off your clothes. I have never been accused of that. But I have had dozens of compliments and thank yous for helping people on this board and other forums. I do not appreciate the insults from either of you. So please give it a rest. It's not funny and not becoming either of you. Plus, people who live in glass houses . . . Johndish made a suggestion to Lauren that I could perhaps be of assistance to her. I posted that I would get back with her later since i saw her post as I was heading out for the night. Today I sent Lauren an email and offered to answer any questions that she might have. I gave her a couple of short paragraphs of basic information that may be relavent to someone her age. Nothing lecherous about that. If she writes back I will try to give her honest and objective answers and comments. If she doesn't, that's ok too.
Oh touchy, touchy. Christ can't anyone make a frickin' joke around here? My objection was to the fact that she asked for help and instead of helping her there was all kinds of other stuff. Seemed like a waste of energy and time to me.
Not really sure why you think me or anyone else is taking pot shots at you. I thought it was a running joke that you take the piss out of me and (less often) I take the piss out of you. The reason I didnt reply with quality advice is that 99 times out of 100 young twentysomethings never actually move here in the first place, and if they do they have a totally different outlook about living here than us 20 years older and with families, businesses etc. I didnt feel I had much to offer her from a similar perspective. I wasn't going to respond to that but since you made an issue of things, I am "allowed" to go out whenever I choose and I do. Just that I go different places with different people than I used to. Sorry you miss me so much, I'm sure the "big dogs" more than make up for my absence
