2. A LTR with a caring, compassionate, and intelligent woman
Edited on Fri Aug-18-06 03:25 PM by Jamastiene
would be my clincher. I'll take one out of three of those traits at this point. I need my cats too. I can't think of anything else that I would need other than the necessities that you mentioned.

Edited: I found a boo-boo. Not bad that I only found 1 boo-boo on 36 hours with no sleep. :P

Well, cats and my human family, of course.

And coffee, chocolate, wine, good food, and access to the ocean don't hurt.

40. To be alone
I used to think being alone was my worst enemy. But after the last couple of boyfriends, I have come to realize that being alone is my best friend! I am more happy now then I have been in a decade.

42. A democrat in the White House....
(and both houses of Congress, if that is not too much to ask for!)
Other than that, I am grateful for what I have, which is plenty. Jimmy Carter once said if you have a home and enough to eat, you are rich (paraphrasing) compared to most of the world. Count your blessings.
