    Talking Re: Ask Tom (tsptalk)

    Why is it that every time I'm seriously interested in a woman, another one enters the picture and complicates things?

    Why are the two parties cynically engaged in an endless pursuit of power rather than actually trying to solve the problems they claim to care about?

    Why do I live in the US answer to Siberia?

    How long until I am severely reprimanded for not taking this thread seriously?

    I think you should invest in a Magic 8-Ball. It should help you find the answers in which you seek.

    1) You unwittingly seek chaos

    2) If there were no more problems, we wouldn't need them. They know that.

    3) You like to punish yourself so you have something to seek. See #1 and #2.

    4) 14 days

    Next question?

    May I suggest you do not want to burn the candle on both ends. Young girls require so much extra training - the older one may already have had her training and you benefit from someone elses hard work. That's how it works.

    Birchy, all this talk about young girls and training makes me wonder which popup you are on www.familywatchdog.us

    I'm 28; one's 23; other's 32.

    Birch - sometimes training can be fun, though.
