When I was single, I made a point of pointing out to any men who asked me out that we were just going on a date and not contemplating eternity. The end of any relationship was when the man in question suggested a night in with a DVD [or video as it was then], a bottle of wine and a pizza.<BR/><BR/>I did not see this chapter as steamy - I rather thought it said something about the innocence of Lily.Miladysahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08065128196666157541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-67263664172953110952008-05-06T21:48:00.000-04:002008-05-06T21:48:00.000-04:00i try to imagine myself wearing a bowling shirt an...i try to imagine myself wearing a bowling shirt and the picture is just not good. <BR/><BR/>:(kjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122196887043345981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-6691681287412436602008-05-06T09:37:00.000-04:002008-05-06T09:37:00.000-04:00I bowl in my own shoes too.

I joined a league with some coworkers a few years ago and was sooooooo disappointed when the free shirt was a t-shirt-but it still had our team name on it-the Purple People Eaters.<BR/><BR/>I've thought about joining a league here in OKC, but it has to be a fun league. I'm not a serious bowler, just in it for the beer, pizza and laughs.<BR/><BR/>I remember pre internet when personal ads were the new cool thing. A friend and I took out an ad in a Perth Newspaper-we lived in Oklahoma. Funny thing is, we actually met some very nice people, some face to face.Debra Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13455047894767524091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-73408029751000032522008-05-04T20:24:00.000-04:002008-05-04T20:24:00.000-04:00Possibly KJ, I've found to like bowling shirts, th...Possibly KJ, I've found to like bowling shirts, thanks to Ces's link.

The last line totally cracked me up -- a universal thought in dating. Do you remember the Saturday Night Live skit when the guy shows up on a blind date with a huge fake hairy mole ... and it ends up that she actually has a mole just like it. The guy thinks it's just a joke, too, but it's a real mole.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15093282449753003894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-7144868130707639022008-05-03T10:56:00.000-04:002008-05-03T10:56:00.000-04:00I will visit you in my bowling shirt.I will visit you in my bowling shirt.Ces Adoriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17338000465619901229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-14871037312596400682008-05-03T10:06:00.000-04:002008-05-03T10:06:00.000-04:00oh sweet jesus!:)oh sweet jesus!<BR/><BR/>:)kjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122196887043345981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-76077488758666952942008-05-03T09:39:00.000-04:002008-05-03T09:39:00.000-04:00Here are bowling shirts for Anon.

Okay....Oh you mean we have to comment on the story? Okay. This chapter is very steamy for my taste. A lot of tongue action. Some readers are the kind who identfy with the characters so I am trying to find someone to identify with in this story. Maybe I should identify with all of them so I can live life on the edge with thoughts such as <BR/><BR/>"Lorraine, she thought to herself, If you’re missing teeth or wearing a bowling shirt, I’ll definitely be prowling elsewhere."<BR/><BR/>"She thumped to a stop at the corner of Upton and Cardinal and with an unceremonious lack of grace she and Gail landed just about on top of each other. Before she knew it Gail was kissing her and not just a peck"<BR/><BR/>I don't know how I would react if a woman kissed me and it is not just a peck and she is missing teeth and wearing a bowling shirt. Wait a minute, what is wrong with a bowling shirt? It couyld not be worse than a Hawaiian shirt or a Mexican dress.<BR/><BR/>I seem to find these women so open and upfront and yes, if a man said these things to me prior to my first date:<BR/><BR/>“That’s ok” Lorraine said. “Let’s see what happens--if we’re attracted to one another”.<BR/>“What happens if we’re not attracted to one another?”, Lily asked..<BR/>“Well then, we’ll still go to the bar but maybe we’ll prowl on our own”..<BR/><BR/>I would pay the top $160.00 for a criminal background check, employment history and even a medical record. They are so open and so liberated!Ces Adoriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17338000465619901229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-23413347953991153232008-05-02T22:18:00.000-04:002008-05-02T22:18:00.000-04:00I don't like the tone in KJ's voice, Ces.
