296.0. "One and Many" by CGOOA::FEDDEMA () Wed Feb 15 1995 04:30

    The difference between Women and Men...
    
    Women want many things from one man.
    
    Men want one thing from many women.

    Hi,
    	I agree with Chris one woman at a time.
296.6PKHUB1::PKOPRTWed Feb 15 1995 19:2510
    
 Me too! One woman at a time is enough for me.

Yeah, it's taken me 19 years to figure out what I know about this one and I'm
STILL usually wrong 8^)

My favorite quote was "Why cheat and have TWO women disappointed in you"

296.9So many toads, so few princes?12478::REITHWed Feb 15 1995 20:578
>    I just wish that all men felt the way you guys do!
    
we probably all do, just some are hairier than others 8^)

Walking that fine line again...

Keep in mind we were "out there" once upon a time and then "found" so I'm sure
there are "others" out there yet to be discovered.

    The good ones are yet undiscovered?
    
    	HA!  Most of men out there are frogs and if you're lucky enough 
    to find a prince he usually has too many warts.
    
    
296.1212478::REITHWed Feb 15 1995 21:285

Not so much "The" as "some"

there are "others" out there yet to be discovered.
296.13just a thought....POOKY::OROURKEM I C...K E YWed Feb 15 1995 21:328
    
    
    For shame ladies!   Not to defend ALL men, but if you consider yourself
    a quality person and YOU are available, why is it so hard to believe
    that there are still quality MEN available?

    Jen,
    
    Notice how I said "most" men.  I didn't use the words "all".  I know
    there some good men out there, it's finding them that's so darn
    difficult. :-)

    Oh I know Lori...I realize you weren't being totally negative...but the
    note was starting to take on a male-bashing kinda feel.   Have faith..
    I'm sure the right guy is out there for you!  :)

    Where are all the quality men?  Most of men I meet are either
    committmet phobic, into playing head games or they just want to sleep with
    every and any women they can get their hands on.....

296.2412478::REITHThu Feb 16 1995 00:484
Well, that's a start 8^) Once you find one you do need to get their attention to
reel them in 8^)

Keep the standard highh and one will show up when you least expect it.
296.25Just the other side that's allPOOKY::OROURKEM I C...K E YThu Feb 16 1995 01:0411
    
    RE: .18
    
    Well actually I am single.  And for every crummy guy out there there
    are some nasty abusive 'using' type women.
    
    All I'm saying is it doesn't pay to stereotype.  Live your life for
    yourself to its fullest.  If you find someone right it will be an added
    bonus, but you can't make your happiness dependent on 'having someone'.
    
    /jen
296.26MKOTS3::SEIFERTThu Feb 16 1995 01:0510
    And just how do you get their attention in order to reel them in
    ....dangle a worm in fron them?
    
    The last on I least expected to show up was a drunken Irishmen whos
    favrite pass time was passing out at the local pub.
    
    I give up!

    Well, Jen I agree with you to a point.  I truly enjoy my life to the
    fulest. However, I really can't remember the last time IICE guy.

    Hi,
    This is good lots of activity in here, I have found that if you go
    out hunting down the opposite sex you don't get what your after, 
    but if you live your life and enjoy it they normally come along I
    have found this to be true, I once took nine month off women to 
    think about the exact women I wanted and the thing was as soon as
    I was ready she came, we married about two years later and split
    six years after that but she will be one of my best friends for
    ever.
    	Anyway keep it coming we have found a good topic so lets make
    the most of it.
    
    	Hugs and Stuff
    
    	Mick.
296.31MKOTS3::SEIFERTThu Feb 16 1995 20:458
    Re. 30
    
    Hunting?  I love all the adjectives everyone has used.
    
    I agree that when you are truly happy with yourself that you
    attract people of the opposite sex. However the people you attract
    might not be the people you want.

296.40muscleman's lawKAOFS::C_PLANTIt had to be you...Thu Feb 16 1995 23:5718
    
    
    
    why bother looking..ya never find anyone when you look. I think its 
    a chemical sign ya give off. that says i'm actually interested..but
    it interacts with the opposite sex by saying..i'm only after one
    thing so best look the other way.
    
    Best is to just go about everyday life and that's when it will 
    happen.
    
    its muscleman's law #2
    
    
    law #1 is that every beautiful guy/girl has and ugly brother/sister.

    	 Well that explains it, I have noticed that there is a fine 
    banter over there, It must be nice to get together with other
    offices we did that once here, I can remember going down to Reading
    for a football competition we enjoyed it......... no ice cream.

    Hi Mick,
    
    many of us are in "Greater Maynard" facilities so we do get together at
    times. Other's we've met when they have come to visit "corporate" on
    business and still others we only know through the file and email and
    may never meet. Besides, the friendly banter in here is well worth the
    effort of talking amongst ourselves.

Welcome back, Lola. After a good weekend, I trust? Any new news on the van
damage?

Been an interesting and quiet day in here and should be a hectic night at home.

CM
296.64Hola!KAMALA::DREYERWhere's the snow??Tue Feb 21 1995 01:1720
Hi CM!

It was a very good weekend!  We had Steve's daughter on Saturday, and on Sunday
my Dad came up and took us out to dinner, an unexpected treat!

As far as the van is concerned, tomorrow I will have to take a vacation day
(I changed it from today so I could speak to my insurance co.).  The windshield
shop will pick it up in the a.m., install a new windshield and drop it off
in the p.m.  I'll have to speak to the manager tomorrow to see how we go about
getting the damage to the paint and the steering wheel returned. I don't have
any idea how that's done, if I get estimates from a body shop and they give me
a check for it or???

Sounds like you have a great, hectic weekend coming up at that show...best of 
luck to ya!

Hugs,
Lola


296.6512478::REITHTue Feb 21 1995 01:3118
>Sounds like you have a great, hectic weekend coming up at that show...best of 
>luck to ya!

Yeah, I'll be dead on monday. My biggest problem is that after finishing up the
big order at the beginning of the month, I've been playing catch up and haven't
rebuilt any inventory. Anything I take to the show will be generated between now
and then so it should be a sleepless week. I will also get to know the staff at
Staples quite well.

But, I've been trying to get into this show for three years and once you get an
invite, you have it every year until you say, "no thanks". I was on a waiting
list of 40 people for the 3-4 booths that free up each year and they called me
because I was local and had a chance of making it. I know companies that will
turn $50k in this weekend and then have residual business trickle in all year.
This is THE northeast show for this hobby industry and people have saved since
Christmas to get the stuff they didn't get as presents.

CM (do I sound excited? 8^)

shows, I'll sell anything I can bring. I hope the kitchen sink is bolted down 8^)
