Hi Kim E: Sorry to hear about your sexual frustration ... You live in an isolated town..?
No. I live in the 4th largest city in the country, Houston, Texas. I have some personal things going on in my life right now. I really don't have the desire to get out and meet someone. It's been around 7 or 8 months, maybe, since I've been with someone! I know, TMI....lol
As for your apology, I appreciate it, but it really isn't necessary. I fear that you might be taking me a little too seriously with my nut sack comments ... I'm really just clowning around, and I assumed that you were, too... Sorry if I misled you.
upswing, This was my fault! There was nothing you said that should have caused me to respond the way I did! I really do love your wit! I can tell you have a remarkable personality, and you are so refreshing. Nothing is more attractive than a sense of humor in a person.
Start again? Absolutely.
Thank you! That really means a lot to me.... :-)
You're a refreshing voice on the Vine, and I look forward to reading more of your posts....
No, I believe that honor is all yours! You really do crack me up, and I admit, I have an attraction to you because of your wit. Nothing to worry about, tho! Don't want to scare you off lol. I look forward to your comments, is all. :o)
Your friend always,
Kim
