From: Jig Chippewa My pool boy was a pool boy and I didnt have sex with the help You really should loosen up a bit, Jig.....and explore more....you're starting to sound like a rigid old lady.... Was this the other Jig?............ From: Jig Chippewa
But, why can't women in sl get with it and help develop a braver new world and be less insistent on "my man belongs to me only - 'ands orf"? Why can't men stop pestering women with moralities that suit the moral majority "back home" in reality? Why bring old customs here when we need new and exciting ways to explore each other?
This is a new world. Let's have new values and experiment on what relationships mean. I'm always looking for a new horizon line in terms of relationships and lovers - are you?

From: Treasure Ballinger I've gone both ways. (heh). I actually like both ways. Right now, for the past 10 yrs I'm in the burbs. It satisfies my desire to have space around me, my own plot of land, a piece of nature......but there was a time in another, faster paced life that those things were the last thing I wanted. Jig is young. I can see that fast paced city/urban thing appealing to her, now. As one gets older, priorities change. That's one of the great things about California, still... one of the few. It's got it all, and all pretty much all within reasonable driving times. You can be downtown or in the middle of mountain forests or fields or islands or desert inside of an hour or two. I live in suburbs, a typical tract home... it's okay. Where I actually fall asleep doesn't matter much. I've been almost everywhere else at some point in my life ~ south pacific villages lit only by starlight from the milky way and the magellanic clouds, among the incredible skyscrapers of Hong Kong, out along the Rio Grande in New Mexico right next to the reservations... and yes, suburbia. Why am I here? Family responsibilities. If I had none, I'd probably take 25% of my SL income and live like a king in Buenos Aires or something. Unless it's violent or dangerous in some way, it truly doesn't matter where you live... happiness comes from the inside. Jig, the seemingly crazy people are right about materialism... oh I like nice things too, believe me... but waaaaay deep down there's not a single person on earth that is truly made happy with stuff. You see it all the time with the very wealthy... they can have anything they want, and... what do they want? For people to like them, and love them, and care. They give away billions, sometimes everything, chasing that. Charities and scholarships and you name it. Love and respect and a little child's smile are worth more than billions. And that's why I'm doing just fine, even in suburbia, even with modest means. Priorities do change... I still keep my nitroused 750R Kawi in the garage, to remember a time when I was very urban, single, flush with money and so forth... but that guy had his day, and I wouldn't ever go back to that life unless I had to, as cool as it was.

Very nice, all very true. My husband and I both have nice, sedate, comfortable family cars. Serviceable. (but in the garage, we also have a 2-seater fire engine red convertible Nissan 350Z) It's a toy. It rarely gets driven. But sometimes, when we're in that young, urban, hell with it mood, we just jump in it and go. Fast and free, wind blowing.... For awhile. Then it's time to take our meds, or the arthritis in his knee acts up, or we are reminded some other way that we aren't 20 anymore. Then we come back to our home in suburbia, content til the next time ........ as Des says, I wouldn't go back; except occasionally, for a minute.
