Defining Love

[bobsgirl]

Do you think fear is stronger then love? I know both have levels of intensity but my gut is telling me love is far stronger. Fear is a paralyzing emotion to me, and love is the opposit. I'll have to think more about the idea.

Thanks for sharing Hoshi.

I think fear may very well be stronger than love, at least sometimes. Certainly in the case of "forbidden" love, fear can inspire the "fight or flight" response.

Edited to add: Cate, if money could be made by pondering, you, my dear would be a millionaire! How are ya, sweetie?

 

[bobsgirl]

Well you know my answer to this, but since others might not....

I agree! For me, a relationship doesn't need to be exclusive to have a commitment.

I guess I was getting caught on another issue though. When I think of commitment, as I mentioned, I think of SO relationships (whether exclusive or not). I think from Cate's comments though, it can be opened up to other relationships...say close friendships. I'd just never thought of being 'commited' to a friendship...and yet it can be as strong and loving as some SO relationships.

Agree with this too!

Agree with this too!

You're so agreable.

Good to see you. Wanna go for a malt?

Yes, indeed. I'm very agreeable to that!

Sounds great -- so long as you don't slurp.

 

[wicked woman]

Or better!

Sending some love your way

I shall have to get out my baseball glove to make sure I make the catch.

I want to come with you and bobsgirl...and what the hell is wrong with slurping?

Think my pitch is that good?

Haven't you heard? I'm a snob and slurping just isn't done in all the best circles (though it's not uncommon amongst us squares).

*snickers* well yes I'd heard that but...

I thought we might throw off our adult manners for a minute or two...could be fun.

A millionare huh? Do you realize how much thinking I'd do about what to do with all that money? lol I guess I'm the poster child for PA, Ponderers Anonymous... got a dollar for the basket?

How many straws can we put in the malt? Community love lives!

I just have no idea what you folks mean about that 'better' love stuff...

 

[midwestyankee]

I guess we'd need lots of straws -- and possibly a sugar-free malted as well.

Could be fun.

Let me see here....so far those who have expressed interest in a malt include Cate, Dearie, WW, and Yank.

I suppose I should keep this little counting deficiency to myself and not reveal it to the partners in your accounting firm, eh?

Now can you see why I enjoy numbers so much? Maybe I ought to use the word love and it's a committed love.

G'morning/afternoon folks.

Apologies...I didn't read back far enough...or my memory is it's usual sieve...to know Cate wanted one too...was surprised she hadn't joined in though.

ok...foursome it is...*did I get it right this time? the partners love me but not in Lit's sense*

mmmm...excuse me a moment please...

Oh yes, and counting positions and variations thereof - oh to be boogled!

 

[midwestyankee]

I could play the role of the masked boogler...or if I brought along a feline partner, I could be a cat boogler...or...

I don't think I know who this Dearie person is. Don't tell me I've been replaced!

good thing we're accountants *although I'm a CA...'can't add'* ...with wicked imaginations

*cough cough*

does this mean it's a fivesome...or that you're just so dear?

As Sundance said to Butch, "Oh, shit!"

Replaced? Hardly - you're worth two great people any day, BG.

BTW, watching "Something's Gotta Give" right now and it's a hoot, even the second time around.
