How did you meet your significant other?

After reading this reference, I can't decide if the urge to barf or snicker is stronger.

I dated a Leo for 3 years and for various reasons could never, ever do it again. But God Bless Ya.

Well, my ex was a Taurus and had the luncheon size of my mother's China pattern (Haviland of course - puff puff) So, we had luncheon and dinner service for 20

So maybe you don't care???

You're right of course. It's good not to care about things you can do nothing about. It didn't make any difference when I did care, so these days I save myself the bother

And well remembered

January 2004 - Match.com

I was self-employed as a family law attorney, so I didn't exactly come across many emotionally available men . . . and my profession isn't exactly a great opening line . . . "Hi, I am a divorce attorney . . ."

So, I am still with the Match.com person, but not without drama. Over time, he was diagnosed with acute alcoholism and bipolar disorder. And I just happened to be there to witness it all . . . UGLY, UGLY, UGLY stuff. Nothing much compares to having to file a legal petition to get your boyfriend involuntarily commited to a psych hospital due to suicidal tendencies and delusions.

Thankfully, he went to rehab, got on the right medication and got back to living life. He is now an inspiration in his recovery. He has embraced his sober life and is so much happier now that he has his brain chemicals balanced out. He suffered greatly (as did I), but is on the otherside of his darkness.

Everything says my perfect match is a Taurus, and one day I may actually meet one I can date. They make great friends. I am not worried about China patterns, Blanche. It is far more important to me that the guy drive a nice truck.

Which pattern? and did you know?

"There are 30,000 to 60,000 patterns of Haviland and Co, Charles Field Haviland, Johann Haviland and Theodore Haviland Limoge china. "

Heather -

I remember when you were going through this and how horrified I was reading it. But, I truly think you were perhaps fated to meet given that you knew had to use your profession to help him. I am SO happy that is behind you both!!!!!!!

Yeah, a nice big truck is more important to me, too.

Leo men are often insufferable, we inevitably dislike each other. I mean, of course, the ones I've met.
Leo chicks are cool and fun and often sporty, which kicks.

I was wondering, too, how the heck Strand and a Leo would do. Strand is even bigger than a leo, and leos like all the attention, etc. I assume Strand just talks over him...

I always wondered if you were kidding about that. Were you kidding? And how would you know?

I remember too and second what strand says, thank God you're on the other side of all of that.

Those must be the Bitter Bettys. Don't talk to them about dating, silly. Plus, if it really is an age thing, just date younger women!

I wasn't kidding, I never got enough practice. I'm nearly always right about everything though, so take my word for it

Sometimes it's hard to judge those things for yourself. I dated someone once who thought the same thing about himself, and it wasn't true at all. Seriously. Sure, I'm pretty inspiring, but still.
