Parties and Zodiacs

OK - hands up if you are hot!!

Had 41degrees Celsius (105.7F) here yesterday and aiming for 42 (107.5F) today, so I have the air conditioning on and trying not to go outside. (PS It just hit 43C which is 109.4F at 3.10pm.)

Been a lazy few days, my elder son (who lives with me) had his 30th birthday party on Sat and a group of us went to a local pub for a meal and then they came back here to continue the festivities. Except for me they were all under 30....lol.

And how are things on the online dating front?

Have had 5 contacts in the right age group over the past week. One was a Canadian guy (66) who lives here, chatted with him for a while but when he told me he 'could get any woman to fall in love with him very easily; getting rid of them was harder' I decided I didn't want to be added to his trophy list.

Another is a 43 yr old, only spoken with him once so no idea on him yet. Another has recently contacted me and I haven't spoken with him yet, just swapped emails. Was to have coffee with a 51 year old but that fell through; he seemed nice enough but he finally came good with a photo and description didn't fit. He looked around the 70 mark.

There were the usual 18 to 30 requests for contact and a couple of married men. B3 has also been sending a few emails but I think he is starting to get the hint at last. Had one chap from Western Australia request contact 4 times; I kept refusing because of the distance. However on the 4th request I decided to allow contact and ask him why he persisted. He told me he was in NSW for a while and wanted to meet for some fun. I replied that I wasn't into anything casual. His answer was don't you want some fun and a good f***. No thanks, and goodbye.

Bu by far the best of the week was a 53 year old. He requested contact and we swapped an email and then chatted on MSN. We chatted for over an hour and he seemed very nice and made all the appropriate remarks and comments. He started to talk about meeting for coffee but he finally came good with a photo and his description and the photo just didn't add up. He looked around the 70 mark and was not as he described. Beats me why people have to lie about their looks, let's face it as soon as you meet it is pretty obvious you lied.

Then out of the blue he began to rale and castigate me because my zodiac sign is Cancer.

He proceeded to tell me I was "dishonest, uncaring, couldn't be trusted, unable to accept the truth, impossible to teach anything, have no idea of reality, unfaithful, a flirt and completely devoid of any compassion or humility."

To say I was stunned would be understatement. I wrote back that it was ridiculous to make assumptions of characteristics based on a book or zodiac. He then continued to flail into me, that I was this and that.

i told him he was an idiot to make a blanket statement about someone who he had never meet and had no idea of their experiences.

He then said he was a master Freemason and he knew exactly what I was and by my replies merely proved his point that I couldn't accept the truth or responsibility.

I said fine its your loss and thank goodness I don't have to meet you. I blocked contact with him there and then.

Honestly I could not believe that someone who professed to be intelligent would make such a blanket assumption about a person.

Anyway, I had a good laugh about it all - mmm is that my Cancerian nature denying the truth or my lack of humility......rotfl.
