Capt Neal,

I feel a need to butt into this discussion that is a lose, lose
proposition but there is "no fool like an old fool' so hear goes

Barb (Lady Sailor) is probably the woman all foot loose males yearn for.
Relationships without binding commitments. It takes a real man to be
able to handle that. Captain, I don't think you have the mentality for a
woman period. A woman like Lady Sailor, no sir.
You think you have the right of dominance in a relationship and that is
wrong.
Lady Sailor made it thru the tough years with a child, that she raised,
increased her eduction, made her way thru life without a male partner
and did it well. We should be thankful that she found us ASA men
(Sailors) of interest.

She is a damn fine looking female. I mean that in the full meaning of
FEMALE. She really doesn't NEED a man at this time of her life. I said
needs, she does like the company of a man. The male-female thing still
works for her.

Her commitment responsibility has been taught to her by males. From what
I've seen, and it is limited, she can accept man's attitude and give it
back in SPADES.

It's a shame I'm to old for her or I'd be in the chase and willing to
accept the terms. To soon old, to late smart!

By the way Barb, I've explained this to Schooner and he is coming to
terms with it

I need to "Drink to That" and shut the hell up. I should know better
than to use logic where illogic is the road chosen
