YOu can decorate your house however you want to.

You can leave the clutter on the kitchen table if you don't feel like dealing
with it.

You get all the closet and drawer space to yourself.  ;-)

The toilet seat will always be down!  (well, cept sometimes when your nephew
comes to visit)

You can put the toilet paper roll on the way you like.

You don't have someone stealing all the covers.

;-)

Good note Joyce!

    being able to cook what I like
    a second vote for knowing where the money goes 
    listening to music and reading in bed
    getting out and meeting new people
    spending more time with MY family and friends
    never having to explain why he didn't come this time
    being proud to be who I am and not always trying to be someone else

    Its funny.. he never could sleep on the bed.. it was a priviledge.. so
    he would wait to be called.. he would sit at the end of the bed and
    stare.. even in the dark you can tell he is staring at you
    patiently waiting to be invited up on the bed... 
    
    Now, he just jumps up on the bed, put his head on 'his' pillow and
    sighs this deep, happy, sigh of contentment.. (-;
    
    Yes, he is the most spoiled dog in America!  (-;

	No, I think that honor belongs to my parents dog.  My sister and I
periodically stage whisper "Psssst, you're a *dog*" in her direction.

    -Leaving the toilet cover up, vs shutting it for the fair-er sex.:)
    Sides its not us who do it wrong, its the women, covers up not down.:)
    
    -Watching football and not catching hell for it.
    
    
36.18I'm still housebroken I leave the seat downWRKSYS::BROWERFri Jan 24 1997 16:517
         I'm housebroken I always leave the seat down. Had too many
    instances of my girls getting up in the night and not looking before
    they sit. If they weren't totally awake before they went in that cold
    water sure woke em up :-)

    in the middle of the night and forget to lift it.:)

    hrm.. the bestest thing about being single and happy about it is eating
    all the double suicide chicken wings you want, washing 'em down with
    beer after singing "Friends in Low PLaces" all night with your favorite
    disreputable friends....
    
    and then not having to sleep on the couch when you come home ;-\

There are good things about being single. I'd prefer  to go thru all the 
fun of life with a partner ... in addition to some good friends and good
golf weather.

The good thing about being single is that it's a test??

    Were I not single, I would never have met any of you :-)
    
    Especially on days like this (bad... nasty...grrr) you cheer my up! And
    many of you have, whether you know it or not, provided me with some
    amazing insights and advice on life and relationships and the things
    that are really and truly important.
