It seems you're handling it well. I make more than my husband and he thinks it great.

[NYC GOP Chick]

OK, I think...

[NYC GOP Chick]

Oh?

[mdittmar]

I like this story.

Happy Valentines Day.

[NYC GOP Chick]

That's good to know -- thanks! ;D

[NYC GOP Chick]

Egads! But I have to say that I feel sorry for her being so insecure.

Re: Gauchat; why would a woman he's met only a few weeks prior buy something like a blue cashmere sweater??? What's up with that?


Good question! I personally always felt it truly is the thought that counts! Seriously, the woman who dumped the guy who gave her "only candy" is a gold digger. Only going out for a short time, and she "expected" something equivalent to a cashmere sweater??? Expect, is the key word.

The whole idea of a gift, is to give it out of live, not out of expectation. My only request has always been, please don't buy me candy LOL I would have to eat it then. And hey it's not Christmas, it Valentines day for heaven sake! Flowers are more than enough!

[NYC GOP Chick]

Thank you -- and a Happy Valentine's Day to you, too! :)

I love that she is making money, and would have no problem with her making tons more. For me, the only thing that's stressful is when I can't take home enough to help with expenses - too much of that and I don't feel like I'm doing my duty. I've actually just accepted a modest-paying night job so I can pay the bills, and have my days free to go to court and meet clients in my law practice. Now I can shrug off those break-even weeks.

It takes a special someone to choose right.

Have you given thought to applying for a gov't position? Gov't is always hiring lawyers.

Oh lord, I am in so much trouble, I left a valentine's card
and a bar of imported chocolate for my bank's assistant manager, who I just met last week, and who just happend to
mention to me that she was single.

I've been living alone too long and have now lost my mind!
I can only plead that I was overcome by maudlin sentimentality and hope for the best.

Pray for me.

I can't handle that much insecurity. She'd freak if she ever knew about the CPAC massage parlor. LOL

[lavrenti]

Egads! But I have to say that I feel sorry for her being so insecure.

She's also obsessive. You don't demand a first date be on V-day unless she had worked that into her interior for years. She also asked as a response for him not calling back on the second day after they first were in contact. She's already built a palace of assumptions based on one phone and was manipulating him him into giving her something she wants.

If they do decide to date, he needs to be clear and quick about setting boundaries, or it's going to become ugly immediately.

Valentines Day is Monday?!?!

Kill me now...

[marajade]

Well if she mentioned to you she was single... you maybe ok.

[gidget7]

You are a wise man!!!

19 years as a cop and a six months as a prosecutor have given me my fill of government, for now anyway. That said, I haven't ruled out anything for the future.

[marajade]

19 years as a cop and then six months as a prosecutor, what happened?

[William Terrell]

Oh please. Give me a break.
