A Re-Introduction of Sorts...

[Mike]

Tom asked me to post something in this area, so blame him if you don't like this thread.

This is basically my weak attempt to get people caught up on where I'm at in life. I'll go with the barebones approach of brutal efficiency. That way if people want to know more, they can ask. If they don't want to know more, they can remain silent and the thread can die quickly.

Quick hits:
- I'm now 30 years old... still young enough for moshpits and punk shows. If you haven't been in one at a Flogging Molly show, you haven't lived.
- I continue to be happily single; I've dodged relationships as well as politicians have dodged the draft. This doesn't mean I'm a player or am leaving jilted lovers all over the place - it just means I'm selective.
- I became an uncle in June (I now have a nephew).
- I still have a mortgage - which I hope to pay off within 12 years (15 total).
- For the first time, I hope to max out my TSP and Roth contribution in 2009 - at the GS 9 level. Yes, I'm certifiably insane.

Any questions?

Insanity, you fit right in ! We'd love to hear from you more often. Please
stop by my thread at any time to say hello. A Re-Welcome to you !

 

[XL-entLady]

Welcome! Er, um, welcome back!

Lady

 

[fabijo]

Re-Welcome, Mike!

 

[KevinD]

So...you were here. Then you went away but now you're back, right?

I guess I'll have to find your account talk thread and read up on you.

Welcome back.

Oh...by the way. I'm no one.

 

[Frixxxx]

I'm 10 years ahead of you, but married and two kids in college. One of which is engaged. Not that I like that but you know kids. Glad to see your at least smart enough to get ahead before you commit to serious relationships...BTW if you are moshin it up and meet your soul mate....do a credit check with the blood test.

I suspect that older woman was just too demanding and difficult to put to rest. Don't worry Tom Cruise had the same dilemma not that he wasn't man enough. The problem is that the older they get the better everything works and they become high maintenance and require constant attention.

Birch, you truly do this just to get a rise out of people, don't you?!

Women are like grape juice. As we age some of us become fine wine and some of us become vinegar! :laugh: I, myself, am a particularly fine vintage.... :nuts:

Perhaps I should have used an ibid from the Sherry Hite report of thirty years ago. That was a great read for a young man. There was a time when I even read Cosmopliton to get an edge on the dating game. So I'm educated to a certain extent on the needs and desires of a fine vintage.

I prefer to make wine out of raisins. I skip the whole aging process. :blink:

I just want my grapes squeezed. Gently and at the right time, of coarse. :nuts:

I have a few prospects. Then again, I always have a few prospects.

As for women aging, I've seen some good-looking ones in their early 40s - so I'm flexible on the age range.

 

[tsptalk]

Thanks Mike! I was hoping that I would be able to live vicariously through you, but you didn't give many of the gory details. I'll stay tuned for the next installment.

 

[Mike]

What gory details might those be?

 

[KevinD]

You know. That night when they met each other.

The cat fight. Hair pulling, ear bighting, kicking and stomping...

 

[Mike]

For those who wish to live vicariously through me, stay tuned. I have three prospects...

 

[Birchtree]

You won't be able to keep up - most men can't keep one steady and calm not to mention three. Don't you remember the tale of the doctor that had three different families - he finally had a heart attack at age 44. They all showed up at the funeral. I learned many years ago to respect the superiority of female sexuality.

 

[Mike]

Maybe I'll make it like an NFL tryout - three of them trying out for one position.
