Oh BG, I just agreed with you on another post and then I read this. Why are you stirring it up with some of the sanest posters on the MB? First Meg and now Mark. Let it go. ;-)

:o) You wrote just a day or so ago...."That is why I will no longer waste my time to clarify statements for Mark in Frisco." Hhhmmmmm.......

I've noticed you often ignore challenges with which people challenge you (yes I know that's akward sentence structure- but frankly I don't care! LOL)

You ignore criticism of ego-mania, arrogance, paternalism by responding to a spelling error. (not diction - diction refers to choice, selection and enunciation - see we can all do that but frankly it's a weak tactic....and really boring!)

BTW - -Anu- onus does seem to be more fitting for you - my mistake!

Lindsay, I remember you. You seem pretty outgoing, and I am confident you will make a connection soon. The thing is, there will be a lull as you navigate friendships to find somebody you want to invest your time and energy in. I have to say that I am really glad that you are not trying to fill that void with a boyfriend. Hang tough love, a great friend is waiting to find you as well.
Mark, I agree with you about finding an effective way to meet friends, versus a dating service, which will NOT provide the same dynamics as what is needed in true friends. Isn't it odd how the world is more populated now than any other time in history, yet statistically, a higher percentage of people state they are lonely compared to 50 years ago?

Meg,
It is odd! I was partially joking about the dating service but I guess anywhere you can find someone!! :o) I actually think we sabotage ourselves by labeling certain venues as acceptable or unacceptable places to meet someone.
Hopefully, she will find someone(s) to enjoy life with!

I have been tempted to start a "Let's Do Lunch" meetup group in my town. I have a lot of long term friends. Distance is a problem for the friendships I want to develop. I'm looking for a walking buddy, a workout buddy, someone I can do something with that doesn't call for me to drive for two hours one way. I am glad to see I'm not alone. Whew! Now it's out! Lindsay's courage inspired me.

This reminds me of "I Love You Man".
