The life-work balance!
First of all, after living in here for the last month and a bit, on my voluntary mini holiday, I went back to work this week and can not get up to my years ago shenanigans, taking the laptop to work, on building sites. I miss this place, the people in it, the blogs, everything. Missing you already.
I need to work on my "Life and Work" balance. I think I can not say no when someone flashes me a wad, and the balance is always one sided, so nothing balancing there. This is a chronic illness of self employed people, I believe. And another as usual, sods law, when one job comes in, a nice one, oh yeah, another two come the next day! I am an extreme man, all or nothing and everything that comes with it. And I take it as it comes. The highs feel like above Mars, and the lows are near the centre of the earth somewhere! And that carries on to work, as well. 
Posting this from above Mars, obviously. Another reason I am looking for a girlfriend too. Not on top of the actual planet, hopefully. Help to work on that balance! I want a reason to say no thanx to long hours or weekend working. And I am missing this place, damn another one of my other addictions, ( I have a collection ) my fixation with the blogs and the rest this site offers! Just wanted to say I miss you all.
Another joke
This is my own version, ( some women I have met and some I have not... ) unlike the "men hall of shame" funny on my previous post, from my inbox archive for which I do not claim ownership. If I do, I say so. 
I don't want to be called a man basher...only! . In the name of fairness it's the girls turn, and of course I know, that most men from the previous joke, or women from this one, are not like this. But there are some out there, and if you read this, come on girls and boys, you know they exist, so here is my take on
WOMEN ON LINE
Women Online Hall of Shame
The time traveler
This woman has managed to travel forward in time. From six weeks ago, when she send you a "recent" photo of her, to today, the first time you meet her, she has time traveled about 5+ years in age, and 3-4 dress sizes. When your car tilts on her side after she sits on the passenger seat, she blames the new shoes that you insisted she wears, or the change in her pockets. She is trying to fool you, so play the game! Pretend you didn't notice and drive carefully, and hope you can meet again, in another of her time travels. I love Dr Who!
The man hater
Once upon a time, probably when she was in her teens, a man broke her heart. Ever since, her longest relationship has been with her dildo. Everything and anything about you is wrong. If you joke with her, you are cheesy. Too serious, if you don't. If your shirt is hanging out, it reminds her of a homeless man she knew, if not you are too uptight. If you like to hold her hand on the walk on the park, you are too clingy. Indifferent if you don't. If you tell her you really like her personality, that's fine, but it's the wrong time for that.
The ego boost addict
She has read your profile, some of your blog, and seen all your photos. She messages you a dozen times a day, with sexy hot inviting messages. You feel like a Greek God! If you tell her she is not your type, she says she swallows. You think, oh well, who cares about types, she is just a one night stand anyway. You agree to meet her. As soon as you ask for details, the where and when, she disappears from the face of the earth, smiling and satisfied that she got you, with a fully massaged ego, and you never hear from her again.
The married, attached one, who says she is single
Discretion expected, should be a red flag. You can only meet her in a town 100 miles away from both of you. This, she claims, is because she is the explorer type and likes new places. You will never visit her at her home. You will never meet her in the evening. Unless hubby or her other half is a night worker, works away, or is in a hospital. You can only contact her after she has contacted you first. Strictly.
The drama queen
Prepare for tears. If there is one more or one less ice cube on the drink you just got her, tears. If you have more chips on your plate than hers, tears. If you misspelled her name by a single letter, ( Anne/Ann ) how could you, you brute, more tears. If your favorite color is different to hers, yeah, tears. Welcome to a world of slamming doors, smashed crockery, "I am fine", and huffy silences.
The normal kind of girl with good sense of humor
She likes to go out, she also likes to stay in with a glass of wine and a DVD. She probably means on her own. She does not know what she is looking for, but will know when she find's it! She has the same profile in another 8457834 dating sites. Or, if it is not your day, "normal" in a Lorena Bobbit kind of way. Normality should be a given; so run away as fast as you can from anyone selling it as one of their good points. The golden rule of dating on the net, is that anyone who feels obliged to mention they have a sense of humor is usually devoid of one.
The fake one
Fake tan, boobs, eyelashes, hair color, hair extensions, nails, designer clothes, smile, life, friends and personality. Fake address and job. Fake everything. But cant find a "Genuine Honest Man".
The princess, trophy girlfriend
For some men, she's the one. When you scratch the perfect surface ( she sleeps in full make-up ) you'll find drama. This high maintenance woman needs to be center of your attention and thought of like royalty. You need the red carpet with you at all times. She will get everything she wants. And she won't necessarily return the favor. Expects the lot, and then some. Looking for a new wardrobe, jewelery, new posh restaurants to try, and a few weekends away before she dumps you for a man half your age. If it's not your day, she'll marry you!
The Clinger
As soon as you ask her for a date, she says, have you talked to your about us. She will always want to hold your hand, in bed, the shower, the super market, even running for the bus. She is overly emotional, shares all her feelings from the start and needs constant reassurance about your relationship status. That means lots of "let's be together for ever" text messages, phone calls and I Love you.
The stalker
She follows you around on line, knows who's blog you visited, what you commented, and at what time. Her other house is your FB page. It was a big mistake to give her your mobile number. The texts " I can see you are online", "why don't you reply to my messages" or "I am thinking of buying the house next door to you" fill your phone. Her friend is walking about across the road from your house, taking pictures. She is always texting. She is always interested at what you doing. Sends you funny little messages. She loves it. Not the interacting with you, just the tracing. Every time you reply!
The been there, done it all, got the T-shirt
There is no new place to take this one for a date. Cinema, club, restaurant, crocodile taming, high rise building climbing, bull racing, mountain climbing, paragliding across the Atlantic, robbing the bank, been there, done it all, got the T-shirt. The only place she has not been yet, and would love to go, is the church altar, with you next to her. She has of course done that already with the previous 4 boyfriends, just not with you, yet.
The liar
She tell's you this is the first time she is online dating. What she means is, she has done all the<b> internet dating </font></b>sites in the last 3 years, has had 682 new dates in the last six months, she is now on her third time around on this one, and it is really her first time, on a Tuesday at 04.00 in the morning, meeting you in a jail car park. She claims she is still a virgin. She never done it before, on her left ear.
The divorcee
If she instigated the divorce, she will never stop reminding you what a bastard her ex was. If her ex instigated the divorce, she will never stop telling you how good her ex drove, as you driving, what her ex said, as you speaking, how did her ex eat, while you having dinner. In any case, prepare to learn about her ex. Everything. And then some more.

Good addition hinj1. And oh yeah, bet the user names would make a long list, or maybe a blog post, an anagram of the name, one, or 12 posts, everyday, but that actually might be popular 
Thanx for dropping by.

well damn man, where have you been?? was so glad to see your line light up today!
i thought these were good.
here's one to add:
the mouse: You ask her what movie she wants to see and she says, whatever you want to see is fine. same with dinner, or almost anything else. If she meets your friends, she says NOTHING, just sits in silence. they all think she's a deaf mute. she never instigates sex but the reason you date her? because the mouse is a lion once the lights go out.
You cannot conceive the many without the one.
