    For those of you lucky enough NOT to have a girlfriend or a wife on Valentines Day, take heart in this little reminder of WHY...

    Very cute vid, and so true.

    Carl,

    I take it that things did not work out with the woman from Christmas Eve?

    Good one Carl. Perhaps a little time off this continent and exposure to the mechanisms involved in having a mistress would make life easier.:)
    Time proven and can be relatively hassle free if the agreements are drawn up properly....

    Can't say if it's any better or any worse than other major cities. No matter where you are, it seems like the singles scene is bad enough to make you stay in a bad relationship!

    I think the real problem lies in people misrepresenting themselves. For example... about 5 years ago my friends talked me into trying Match.com. The last thing I want to do is look for love online when I'm online all day to begin with. Eventually I caved and tried it. I went out on 3 dates...

    1. First girl told me she was a size 2. When I met her, she needed to add a digit to that number!

    2. Second girl told me she was 32. When I met her, she needed to add a decade to that number!

    3. Third girl told me she was a pure, honest, Christian girl. I later found out she was a call-girl!

    Needless to say, I've resorted to the old-fashioned way of meeting women now... fate.

    Carl,
    It may be fun to see what your profile stated on Match.com.
    Let's see, let me try it and add in a few things in parenthesise......
    "Me, tall dark and handsome, good build (except for the beer gut), drive a Ferrari (once a year at the Breakers), have several yachts (actually several friends with yachts), fly a helicopter (r/c) and have my own dot com (YF). Cruise to the finest ports in the world (or at least south Florida) and enjoy hiking (but only a few steps), walks on the beach (but you need to clean my feet since I can't bend over) and deep conversations (ZZZzzzz).

    Sound like you? Anyone care to add anything?

    All in good fun Carl, all in good fun.

    More often than not, many people DO meet "the right person" this way!

    Tom - That profile might just work! But I'll heed Codger's wisdom on this subject...

    Arnie - As fate would have it, I'm off to a boat show this morning. Maybe I'll meet my future-ex?

    Back in a couple of days!

    Carl: Wisdom? Never let wisdom get in the way. If it happens, it happens.
    Just let someone else write the monthly cheques to the exs and enjoy the memories. There's always a possible downside to love or passion of any worthy intensity, but would you really want to miss out on any of the upside. Life really is too darn short for that. Enjoy!

    Don't let Carl fool you. He'll claim he was just inspired by a couple of the other guys we were with, but when we arrived to meet him last weekend for dinner, he was already sitting at a table with two of the pretiest girls there. Gift of gab, I tell ya.

    A new ride helps... for sure. But it's not the car. It's the confidence that comes from knowing you can outrun her boyfriend when he catches you hitting on her. ;)
