Relationships should begin with the following conversation on the first date: - How much money will we need to keep this relationship afloat? Your Thai Friendly profile claims that you don't like stingy men. What do you consider stingy? How much do you need/want? - What is your neurosis? What are your character flaws?

So spider, you seem to have officially taken over as the most vocal anti-Trump voice on AN. Just saying. Some of your pals have slowed down a bit. So they've passed on the baton to you. Like a relay in the Olympics.

what the heck is goin' on out there ? drugs won't necessarily rot your brain, but maybe they will.

all's fair in love and war. if distorting the facts is what it takes to WIN .... then so be it.
