And well you shouldn't Alex...especially after that brief musical interlude in your previous post. I'd say you are just this side of falling in.

My grandmother had a name for her outhouse that I have never heard anyone else use. Skanoobie(sic). Was it just that grandmama was a little silly(that would explain a lot)or has anyone else ever heard of this?

>A woman that is not married is 'single' (célibataire in French)

So how would you describe a woman who is single but not, er, celibate?

well-loved? popular?
One is love; two is adventure; three is promiscuity -- and four or more is research.

She's called often, I would suppose?
(or merely off and on? )

Drop dead homely???

Edited 9/27/01:

It's been brought to my attention that this was crude and insensitive. I will bring it to [bold]everyone's[/bold] attention that this is true. It was crude and insensitive and I apologize to one and all. I'll try to think before opening my big keyboard in the future.
