*sigh* I'm loosing my touch. (Warning: Hi-jacked by Em)

See, that's the kicker, 'V' - Critter is not deranged. He's smart and calculating. Quit hitting on

. It's not a good idea.

Sour, a bit of flirting never hurt anyone... And I feel pretty safe behind this several thousand mile wide water obstacle between us.

Flirting can be very useful in everyday life too. And by flirting, I don't necessarily mean intending to get someone to sleep with you. But it's amazing what a smile and some kind words can do, makes life a lot easier in many situations. It's helped me get a lot better service often. And if nothing else, it can make the recipient happy, and that's always nice.

I am a 'ubiquitous' flirt - I flirt with the whole world - well, with much of the world. My goal is to leave those I meet with a chuckle and a smile - I understand.


Critter , on the other hand, is not as understanding.

How I picture critter:



Sour, I'm that way too. Karin thinks I get too friendly with strangers though. But I like to talk.

Critter is missing that front tooth.


Maybe Karin and the Princess are twins, or maybe you and I are twins?

You need your glasses changed, Sour - and the earring is in the other ear. Duh!

Sour, sometimes I find it hard to believe that you're a yankee . . . . you seem so much like one of the 'good ol' good ol' boys' that I'm used to in the South.

A couple of days ago, my parents took me down to Calabash for lunch (to a lot of folks, 'Calabash' is synonymous with 'seafood'). After our meal, my dad went out to get the car; my mother and I exited the restaurant a couple of minutes after him. There were a couple of men coming in as we went out. One of them (who appeared to be somewhere between my mother and me in age) smiled and asked, "Did you leave any for me?" "Oh, a little bit," I replied. I can think of a few reasons that some might have taken offense at such a comment from a perfect stranger, but I knew he was just being a little silly a bit "flirty," if you like.

, I could tell ya stories. A co worker (drinking buddy) once said to me, "You are like a chameleon. We can go to a redneck down and dirty bar, to a 'suit' cocktail lounge, and everything in between and still you are accepted and 'at home'." Fact of the matter is that 'redneck down and dirty' is home, but I am a survivor in all environments.

Bottom line although as a kid I said, "I'll never be like him." I am very much like my father. A few really close friends and open to the rest of the world. Also like him once I feel that you have done me wrong - there is no forgiveness.

Always nice to bring a smile to someone's face. But you can get away with pretty raunchy stuff too if you consider the wording. It's all in the way you express it. Think of the difference between saying "I could ravish you this instant" versus "You look bangable". I think those would result in quite different reactions, even though they are practically the same. Of course, one could just say "You look pretty", or perhaps "You have a wonderful smile" and play it safe. At least when talking to strangers.

'V',

thanks for the gut wracking laugh. I have been known to tell a complete stranger that she is absolutely gorgeous in that 'outfit'. Some graciously say 'Thank you' while others stare at me as if I am an old perv. When I go into TSC, Laura the register lady starts yelling, "Out of HERE. I am not dealing with you today." Customers stare at us in wonderment as we start our bantering. It's kind of like that wherever I shop.

Sour, is the Princess looking at you in a funny way because you're laughing at the monitor again?
