-
- Well, I would hope that within the space of a year, some meeting of
- minds could take place. Also, in such a time period the minds might
- have 'thought' they met, only to discover it was not the case.
-

-
- No. Simply so in need of physical sex that he is willing to grab the
- nearest chance. But then, that's just the way I am - mileage may vary.
-
- >What about the woman?
-
- Again, my personal preference - she is not my cup of tea (but then I
- don't imagine she would lose any sleep over that :-/)

-
- Depends. Did you both stay together those years? Were both involved in
- raising and supporting any off-spring? See, fleeing the scene after
- marriage is either divorce or desertion - both cost you money when
- done or caught.

- Where in hell did you find this in my post? Shit, another Nyikos who
- reads words in the white space! Maybe I just got damn lucky, but the
- kind of meeting of the minds we have is closer to telepathy than any-
- thing I've ever experienced. Besides, I've never seen the white-tails
- in our backyard doing that, rutting is much the most frequent method
- and then only in season.

-
- I have no intention of legislating anyone's children away from them.
- It strikes me that the persistent theme of this thread is 'Don't
- legislate any of my children (i, a, or u) into my areas of fiscal
- responsibility. Any father, no matter how he gained that estate, who
- wants to look after his children has my support.
