We will have party in the chatautism chat room on Valentine's day from 9pm GMT.
Anyone can come and "wear" a costume nick, and just have a chat and a laugh.
We're having a bit of fun today in the chatroom if anyone wants to join us.
:love: :groupjump: :kiss: :whistle:
Sucking face, even, or tongue tangling etc. I missed it anyway! Just as well, I lost my dentures like that once...
I was joking about the dentures
!
What's happy about Valentine's day?
For some people nothing at all, for some people its a day to have fun.
We did have a bit of fun in the chatroom and its nice to have a light hearted distraction in life.
Confession: I DID receive a Valentine's card this year, for the first time since Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister. It was from a guy at work who the previous week had confessed to having typed my name into an internet search engine, which led him to an online seminar about Asperger's syndrome. That left me with a lot of explaining to do. :oops:
But it was good that you got the card, right?
My first thought, once I'd remembered what date it was, was "Oh God, how tacky". To quote Life of Brian, "There's no pleasing some people!"
The guy in question is nearly 28 years older than me, due to become a grandfather sometime this month or the next, divorced 15 years ago and has recently split up with someone. And he works on the same floorplate as me.
One thing he said the other week (after he confessed to having Googled my name) was that 90% of the time a man is attracted to a woman he won't act on it. That could explain why it hasn't happened to me - better than explanations such as I'm too intelligent (yes I have had that!) If his statistic is accurate, I wonder where that leaves women who follow The Rules - not that I'm one of them...
The Rules - notorious self-help book about how to catch a man the old-fashioned way (i.e. let him do all the running). One of the authors has divorced!
