I'd like to offer a Quote for the Day.....cynical, yes....







"If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married."




Katherine Hepburn


What do you think?

Jim..Your quick wit and funny lines are always missed when you go into hiding... We miss you!!!

Please lean on us to let out some of the emotions and feelings...we all do it here at some point or another....that is what makes all of these friendships so special here!!

Hi there, Sliightytoxiic...


Thanks for the warm and kind words... you are right... I see a great deal of support and empathy from this board when others need it... but for some reason, I just go away... I dont know...

“Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give - which is everything.”

Very true and I think men and women can learn a lot from this song....

...very basic lesson most often overlooked and taken for granted....

Hello there Moon!

I found that quote somewhat amusing, considering the source.

The lovely Miss Katherine Hepburn never married, for one thing. For another, it's not a given that an unmarried woman has the admiration of many men, just as it isn't a given that once married a woman has nothing but criticism from one man.

I'm thinking back to when I was single and involved in two long distance relationships at the same time - and yes, they both knew about the other and had agreed to my terms. One of them was constantly criticising me, and the other one I've now been married to for over twenty years.

A garden not watered, tended or weeded...something beautiful that sits and collects dust...


overlooked indeed...


(love that song!)

Hi Nenu,


I, too, found quite a bit of irony in the source of the quote!
