Confused but eager

Expected a lecture but got an aknowledgement instead.

Thank you.

Hey, NP, in matters like this (while I am duly chagrined that I gave bad advice ) I'm most happy to be corrected. I am a hard-core idealist, and sometimes what I wish and what actually is don't quite match. As is the case here.

I talk a lot, but I hope folks don't take that to mean that I think I know more than they do! Nope, I haven't quite learned everything yet, but being corrected is how you learn. So thank you!

Weird. I guess it just never ocurred to me that people could be so...silly. But then again, people never cease to amaze me with their stupidity. So you mean, they actually get pissed off at you because you have something they want? Sheesh! Makes you just want to tell them to take a fucking pill! If they only behaved themselves, they could've maybe had the chance to play with her. But nooooo, they wanted to play for keeps.

His girl smiled sweetly and said "Hi". (Wish we'd gotten their numbers - lol).

We were totally taken aback. What a nice thing to happen.

Generally though, it's far more risky to "be oneself" in the vanilla world these days. People who feel they have less are likely to take offence.

It's the second story that does tend to keep my faith in humanity alive, though. It's just too bad that the idiots of this world have to force us to go underground with something that has so much potential for improving people and their relationships. Sad, eh?

Hey Intuition,

You're cool.

Don't take the "lecture" sentence too hard.

Wasn't aimed at you. Was aimed at the board. We're new here and a lot of guys (can we use the term guys to include female board members, too) who've been here longer and have far greater experience of both the board and the lifestyle have sought to put us right on occasion. This can come over to us as as being lectured to at times. No harm in that. No offence intended and non taken.

We try not to be prickly. We appreciate the more experienced members' input and comments.

Just expect the occasional "What the F*#k" now and then while we learn.

Ciao babes.
