    She looks pretty but high maintenance...

    What is 'Chuck'?

    One of the few TV series I watch, and can therefore use as reference, it's a light hearted comedy.

    I am happy doing 'high maintenance' in the flowers, listening and removing spiders sense.

    I do not go for blondes at all. In fact all the girlfriends and wifes that I have had have all had a similar look, dark skinned and dark hair, my current wife is half maltese so you can kind of guess the look. After that as long as they have a pulse I am happy.

    My wifes part (Gibralton) Spanish, and has a bit of a dark look about her too.
    I was attempting to sum-up a personality type more than anything else.

    How's the Manchester meet going? If you I would turn-up and check out the group from a distance. If they look friendly join in. Else chat to the bar staff instead, before making a swift dash for the exit.

    Well I have come to work as cleaver made up some lame excuse not to go. I'd have gone for a laugh, no harm is there? Sometimes think it should be all left on internetland. Having said that if you mewbs and cleaver want to arrange something I'll be up for that. It would have to be through the week though as I think mewbie does his dogging at the weekends.

    Does mewbie have a dog then?

    Didn't know that.

    I meant more that she'd require a lot of slap to keep her looking that good. As a woman, I can spot the levels of crafting and hours in make-up that went into that sleek look - think she might look a bit rough first thing in the morning... :rolleyes:

    I speak as someone who is much more WYSIWYG. :)

    I'm located down south which means finding a meeting point that's better than Birmingham. How about Oxford?
    I'll even pick-up mewbs from eastbourne and throw in a tour of the dogging sites located atop the north downs.

    I do prefer more WYSIWYG, however being limited to actresses, makes it somewhat difficult to find an example of one. :)

    There are no dogging sites around here. I am led to believe the sheep are fairly attractive.

    I'm high slap quota. Look very different without I think. But then, you get used to it, don't you? Mascara changes everything.

    Life can be very unfair.


    Yeah, but I'm super lucky too. Some peole have more .....even lives, I have extreme luck and fairly grotty misfortune. I think mostly we get what we can cope with, and I'm fairly content. :) I could be an awful lot unluckier, and an even, measured existance probebly wouldn't uit me well. I'm here, I can communicate, I'm always getting a little bit better. :) Thats really, enough, isn't it? :)

    I go for the low slap (goodness that sounds so wrong) thing....only ever put makeup on when I am going out socially and as that is very rare, well think you can count how many times that is! :rotfl:
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.
