Lines: 80 Like everthing else, I have my opinions on these topics, and I'm about to inflict them on the net. Did I hear a cry for help out there?(-:) I had a lot of trouble with my parents. Particularly my mother. She was of the opinion that the only person who should touch her was my father. I finally got fed up with her attitude and told her not to be a fool. "I'm only try- ing to show you I'm not afraid I'll get my hands in shit if I touch you!" "If you were the last woman alive, you're still my mother so, I don't find you to be a sexual turn on". My parents and I are friends too (now) I feel better. I must add that I was their first kid, the experiment. Things went better for my two brothers. God, it was hard raising parents in the fifties and sixties. There are too many people out there who take hugging and touching as a sexual thing. They don't know what the hell they are missing. When they finally get their heads on right, they'll realize what fools they've been. I think Lady Godiva has the right feeling for sex. It can be so great with the right person. Otherwise, its just (quite literally) a shot in the dark. I wish people would quit wasting sex and let it mean something again. I feel there should be a definite commitment involving the couple before they jump in the sack together. Love and respect fit so well in the sack with sex... Glad to see you can post again Lady Godiva. Tell yer SO I said Hello. Love Ya. Well, I coulda got fisshin'. Got to thinkin' it over. The road to the river is a mighty long way. Must be the season, no rhyme or no reason. Been takin' it easy, its my lazy day. <----Willie Nelson Regards, T. R. Frye . Back to touching, How do you folks out there feel about those damned "dead fish" handshakes. I can understand if some guy is running for office and shakes 4000 hands a day. He's gonna make his arm fall off if he gives every- one a good healthy squeeze. But, if I'm introduced to the average guy and get the cold dead fish, I find myself in doubt of the guy's sincerity.
