I don't think an English Literature degree is all that easy and I don't think physically being in England helps either.

Sorry about your dad. I've known some people who have done the same and it hurts to think of them in that state of mind. Not offended by the humor nor do I find fault in those that do, just bums me out.

I have, I usually have a big wolf spider make a web on my porch light. I leave the light on so he (or she) is well fed.

Until I find him inside my helmet on the motorcycle. O.O

Right! The person saying it obviously wants you to have a happy day (or days) so why is it an issue? Other than a chance to be offended at something of course.

Sure, but she felt we wouldn't work out, I accepted it and did my best to move on. I didn't hold it against her, sure I was disappointed but if doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. Not much I can do about it. There are no bad feeling between us and I am happy she is happily married with a great family.
There were a few other girls I knew over the years too but they too weren't interested. I understand, nobody wants to wake up next to the fat guy so I held no ill will towards anyone. I know my place and will not be a creep or whatever else most people here will think of me. But I will say that at this point in my life I will NOT tell anyone about a crush ever again and I do my best to keep a distance from most people.

Not sure what is ironic but ok. Just figured I'd share my experiences.
