Now I'm not so worried about having them kicked in -- I just paste 'em back into place. Seriously, (who, me?) once you've recovered from that experience you should realize it never is as terrible as it seems. You come out of it, perhaps even a better person than before. Maybe you get it knocked out of you again, maybe not. But it gets better. I had the worst time of my life about 2 years ago. But here I am, back in the romantic fray once again (and what a nice fray she has!). Maybe she'll kick me in the teeth. Probably not -- she appreciates what I can do with them. But if I conduct myself as if I'm just waiting for the "kicker," who do you think I'd attract? Probably just women looking to practice their grande jettes, and dental hygenists. If you're too sensitive, sometimes that can cause you to be a real jerk. What started out as a pleasure ("At last -- I found someone sensitive!"), can become a real pain. Don't sacrifice sensibility for sensitivity.
