Thanks for being so kind and sweet. And thanks for your good wishes, O Former Queen of First Dates Can’t figure out why I am so nervous. I have played serious chess with this guy for hours, in jeans & Ts. Have sworn at his cheat-moves and peeked venom from behind wild, messy hair, without a care. Since this date thing, I’m a wreck. Hate being self-conscious like this. Must get my head together.
Anyway, I think I’m going to forget the first updo and just go with that second looser style. It’s achievable and I can leave it alone for the rest of the night.
The river is wonderful. It is a companion of 30 years standing and I can vouch for it being a good listener. Even if the date crashes, I will enjoy the embankment stroll.

Nor do I wish to kick-start a theo debate, but to clarify……
Imaginary: because each individual develops their own concept, either static or work-in-progress. Sometimes it has a definite form in the imaginative &/or the material world (hence I didn’t use “invisible”)– sometimes it’s just an abstract idea (the intellectuals would have you believe this is the superior model). Most times it is based on an external implant/indoctrination. If you don’t “kill” the IPU, it will be the end of you.
If I have any addiction, it is to this cycle: Create IPU, forget it is your creation, live life, try matching reality of life with reality of IPU, realize IPU is faulty, remember I created it and therefore it is a manufacturing error, dis-mantle IPU. Void. Lonely here. Create IPU......
Must remember not to be so damned creative in future.
As for the limitless/Absolute…..I give up. I’m totally clueless from my current vantage point in existence.
Another discarded concept/belief: Threads that stay on-topic Sorry dave.
Cheers to you both (& no offence intended to anyone re IPUs )
I am interpreting the word “unconditional” as indiscriminate on the part of the one who is giving unconditional love. Unconditional in respect of kinship, appearance, personality traits, dependency, desire on the part of either party, etc.
Is that really the case?
If I were to replace the 4 in your home with any random other 4, would these also receive it? If yes, than that would truly be unconditional.
Perhaps I am mis-reading your meaning or vice versa. Sometimes “unconditional love” is interpreted as deep, over-flowing love. I trust afore-mentioned 4 are the lucky recipients of the latter.

>>>>>jenifer out of curiousity how often do you trim your hair and how long is it?
Well, I just measured it. In the back, it's just a hair above 23 inches. Not terribly long (especially compared with many here!), but I'm generally happy with the length, though I'll let it get as long as it can before it becomes too thin on the ends.
I trim the ends myself and don't really have a set timeframe for trims, but I think the last time I trimmed it was in February. It's still looking good, but probably in July (since I'll be outside a lot more and may possibly wash my hair more often) or maybe even the end of June, I'll trim a little bit.
.....now for my wry comments on your wry comments.
Inevitable-..... Death is inevitable. We will all die. -( are paying taxes inevitable?.... hmmm...)-
Limitation- I am 5 ft. 1 inch tall. I am 27 yrs. old. I don't ever think I will grow to be a 6 ft. 7 inch lady basketball or volleyball player like Gabreilla Reese. _(Darn!!!)-
Unconditional love- It depends how lonely or H o r n y I am!
Imaginary Pink Unicorn/False Gods- .....Actually I'm a natural sceptic, I need all of the illusions and delusions I can get!!!. I sometimes am a little envious of the simple minded folk,-(idiots?)-, that can almost "mindlessly" believe in this or that religion or what have you,-( false or otherwise)-. As my mother used to sarcastically call them, "lovely peasants"!..... -( this from an impoverished, wild, sometimes crazy, sometimes superstitious, sometimes sexually promiscuous, sometimes hard drinkin, weed smokin, single mother, who was convinced that her "trashy" self was better than the rest of the "trashy" people in our neighborhood!!!. We all need a few illusions.
Hair cutting- Well as you know Uzma I now wear my hair super short but I have had it super long too and in-between lengths as well. I like it all. I liked each style when I was wearing it, including now. ..... But since long haired women can be very sexy, I say knock yourself out girl growing your hair super long. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there wantin' to snuggle with and kiss a pretty long haired lass such as yourself doll !!!
Oh yes... and that finally brings us to Blissfully lost cause. Most of the best writers are blissfully lost causes Uzma. Not to mention that blissfully lost causes can be a whole lot of fun sometimes!!!.
I say go to it "naturegirl", be a "wild child" darling !
Oh yes..... Good luck on your HOT date, and remember if all else fails, .....the nibble on the ear Uzma!!! Women DO have that advantage, we can get always get our way and our jollies!!! -( yes we can be the boss lady, the queen of the castle, the princess of sensuality!!! Tee hee!!!)-
Bye for now! Love, Tina

The “Dead Concepts List” is a partial view. It has a counter-part in the “Can’t Deny This List” which includes unconsciousness+physical destruction (death), gravity, sun = hot burning orb…you get the idea.
O, I totally feel your pain regards height. My date-friend is 6ft 3” which is a foot taller than me. I couldn’t gaze into his eyes unless I stood on a box or we were in semi-prone position. Bang goes the possibility of spontaneous kisses. Limitation indeed.
I think mindless belief has it’s place. I have to get into that place (i.e temporarily accept certain premises) in order to finish a religious text. Can’t thoroughly critique and deeply understand a text simultaneously. Have to relate as a believer and then detach and disassociate.
I went under the knife a while back. Had incredible hallucinations coming out of general anaesthesia. Likewise when I fast. And then there are sleeping dreams. They all seemed real at the time. I “see” these images and emotionally responded to them. Does that make them real?
IPUs are fun, but you’re only setting yourself up for failure. Unless and until Reality unfolds, destroying “belief” by the weight of Itself, I’m keeping an open and fluid mind. Do we all need illusion?….I guess we are a mass of illusions, even facts can be revealed as illusions. Point: a canine eye can naturally percieve more colours than a human eye. So how many colours in the rainbow?
As usual, it’s great kicking ideas around with you Tina . Thanks for your encouragement and for wishing me luck on the date. I don’t think of it as a conquest, so no need to gain any advantage and no possibility of failure. Just hoping for mutual enjoyment whatever form that may take. (Will have to save the bdsm for later down the line - if there is a later .)
First, happy dating Uzma! I am spoiled in that while I regularly date, for the last 15 years it has always been with Mrs. Happy. Takes all that first-date stress out of it.
Second, that ear-nibbling thing goes both ways ladies! If I ever convince Mrs. Happy to grow her hair long again, one of two things I will miss is the opportunity to spontaneously go after her ear and neck. Especially the neck. Makes the girl melt. Hubba, hubba. ;)
Finally, based on what you said about your chess games, wear your hair to please yourself, because he will not care. You are beautiful, but that isn't why he asked you out.
And the half-on/half-wildly-off topic plug: I mentioned a new group on the Announcements Board on 5/31: It is "on" for philosophy, but WILDLY off for "long hair support." It is a discussion group for people who have emotional or erotic reactions to haircuts, whether their own or other people's. I expect most who read this board are extremely UNinterested, but feel free to lurk or, even better, to post there, since y'all likely have a very different perspective that I and others can learn from. A polite discussion is ensured there, as Mr. Happy has an "in" with The Moderator.
As always, I remain, Mr. Happy

Elissa – Thanks for the vote of confidence (not that a Philosophy board would ever happen here) but I would be no good as a Mod as I would probably ditch neutrality and take a position.
Mr Happy – Thanks for your good wishes. I will be sure to check out your website. Sounds tres interessant.
Right, I’m off to practice styling my hair for tomorrow night .
Bon Soir

the height issue. i'm 4'11 and my husband is 5'11. i don't find it a big deal that's why they made heels sometime my husband will tease me in good fun and say ''you sure are short'' i say ''you wouldn't want me any other way'' he of course agrees. he can't aurgue his brillant wife LOL. my grandfather had a good saying good things come in small packages
Uzi!!! You have a date tomorrow night! Yippie! *hugs*
Sorry about the delayed response. We've had a huge project at work this week and I haven't had the opportunity to check the boards. As a matter of fact, I need to get back to work now, so I'm not taking the time right now to read everyone else's responses. I just read your initial post.
In my opinion, I would say you should wear your hair in a French Twist for dinner. Guys love French Twists. Then, after dinner when you go for your walk, if it isn't too windy (which is a big if, I'm sure) casually reach back and pull the clip out of your hair. :) This should knock him dead. If that's what you're going for.
HAVE FUN!!!!

Ha ha !!!! V E R Y interesting. Stirring conversation and intimate silences. A poetic roller-coaster! We both peeled a few layers off of each other and liked what we found. Well, I certainly did, and we are meeting again soon, so I hope it’s mutual.
I was so engrossed in the conversation that I forgot my hair…and the ear nibbling (LOL)....and at times, myself (a good thing). No dramatic gestures with the hair tho’ Traci – this guy is wise to overt moves (will have to be subtle if/when we get into seduction mode).
Didn’t wear the chiffon as it had turned windy, cold and a little wet – typical London weather, so I ended up wearing this gothic-style dress. French Restaurant was packed and noisy so we abandoned our reservations and went to a trad Japanese place. OMG – expensive but sooo good!!
OK – I am on a high and had better shut up, now.
Thank you – everyone – for your good wishes and good advice. You are the most wonderfully supportive forum friends. I wish I could send you each a package of love. If you were here, I would hug you to bits!!!
((((((Love to you all and have a great week-end.))))))

+1 for Uzi : Adaptability, and just being yourself. A great night. BTW, was the japanese food any good ? Whaddya have ?
I hate all of the following and lots more : Fundamentalists, racists, sexists, fascists, ageists (people saying seniors = senile , kids = stupid , 18 = immature or a combo of them), and bigots for causes yet to receive their own designation.

The food was amazing. I mostly had sashimi, which consisted of raw mackeral, salmon, octopus (vinegared) and squid (with black sesame seeds). Also some miscellaneous roe and smelt. The wasabi wasn't really necessary as the seafood was so fresh.
One day, I intend to go to a traditional ryokan on Honshu or Okinawa. Eat well and bathe in hot springs. Sigh. One day....
I would reckon a quiet, nice Japanese restaraunt might be better than a noisy, crowded French restaurant anyway, so it seems as if you and your fella made the right choice.
