01 Feb 05 - 10:15 PM (#1396433) Subject: RE: BS: Lonely Hearts Ads - the reality From: Azizi Good job, Guest! I thought BOTH of those list were witty [and maybe too often true for laughs.] But I'm going to show my ignorance about Lonly Hearts ads: What do GSOH and TIN mean? Ms. Azizi |
|
01 Feb 05 - 10:20 PM (#1396438) Subject: RE: BS: Lonely Hearts Ads - the reality From: GUEST,Layah I had just that question myself, so I looked it up. GSOH is good sense of humor. TIN I couldn't find anywhere. |
|
01 Feb 05 - 10:32 PM (#1396457) Subject: RE: BS: Lonely Hearts Ads - the reality From: Azizi Thanks, Guest Layah for posting that meaning.. Since GSOH could relate to a male or a female, maybe TIN also relates to either gender. Besides the ones used for gender, race, and sexual orientation.. I wonder what other Lonely Hearts Ad acronyms we could come up with for males only or females only or for both? Here's a few I just made up: GHA -good housekeeper GIB-good in bed GFP- good financial planner Maybe Guest Who Posted The First list or someone else can add some witty sayings about what they really mean. just for fun, Ms. Azizi |

01 Feb 05 - 10:36 PM (#1396461) Subject: RE: BS: Lonely Hearts Ads - the reality From: Azizi Scratch that first acroynm: and substitute GH [what WAS I thinking of??? Good housekeeper {and} Ass???] I'll never tell.. ;o)) |

02 Feb 05 - 03:44 AM (#1396634) Subject: RE: BS: Lonely Hearts Ads - the reality From: Splott Man GSOH - Good Sense Of Humour TIN - I made it up to create a joke - :-) If I have to explain it.... |
|
02 Feb 05 - 03:44 AM (#1396635) Subject: RE: BS: Lonely Hearts Ads - the reality From: Splott Man Although TIN is slang for money, giving an extra dimension to the joke... I thought.... Oh well... |

02 Feb 05 - 03:58 AM (#1396642) Subject: RE: BS: Lonely Hearts Ads - the reality From: Teresa In other words, don't go out with anyone. :> When they talk about "no baggage", are they referring to body size or emotional stuff? :> I have plans at *friends' house for "anti-Valentine's Day" pizza party. :) Teresa |

02 Feb 05 - 05:04 AM (#1396668) Subject: RE: BS: Lonely Hearts Ads - the reality From: Crystal Valentines day is on a Monday this year. This means sloppy romantic gestures will, hopefully, be thin on the ground. However I wouldn't say no to a romantic, suprise weekend in Paris, but, being realistic its not going to happen. |

02 Feb 05 - 05:12 AM (#1396674) Subject: RE: BS: Lonely Hearts Ads - the reality From: Splott Man NB - It's SAINT Valentine's Day And you don't wish people Happy Valentines as heard and seen on the mass media, you pick one special person and say "Be my Valentine". Well, that's the custom as I know it Thank you I feel better now I'll go and lie down |

02 Feb 05 - 09:00 PM (#1397311) Subject: RE: BS: Lonely Hearts Ads - the reality From: GUEST,Layah I can't ever manage to have a boyfriend over Valentine's day. Well, I did once but we were in different states that weekend. Other than that my boyfriends break up with me in January. January is obviously a bad time Maybe January makes me ugly? Must be all that eating over the holidays =) And actual meanings for made up acronyms: Good housekeeper: obsessive compulsive neat freak Good in bed (for a man): After sex stays awake long enough to say something nice. Good financial planner: tightfisted (don't expect many presents) |

02 Feb 05 - 10:19 PM (#1397382) Subject: RE: BS: Lonely Hearts Ads - the reality From: Azizi Guest Layah, Thanks for the posting.. I've seen some other post of yours lately.. Though you don't need any invitation from a member of Mudcat to join our worldwide community, I would like to urge you to do so. Come on in! The water's fine! Ms. Azizi |
|
02 Feb 05 - 10:24 PM (#1397384) Subject: RE: BS: Lonely Hearts Ads - the reality From: GUEST,Layah Thanks for the invite. But then that would be admiting that I intend to continue to spend time here. What a waste of time this is! Well, I suppose it looks like I've been hooked now anyway, I might as well join. |

02 Feb 05 - 10:44 PM (#1397395) Subject: RE: BS: Lonely Hearts Ads - the reality From: SINSULL Poor Saint Valentine got shot through with arrows - none from Cupid's Quiver. Nasty business. |

02 Feb 05 - 11:10 PM (#1397414) Subject: RE: BS: Lonely Hearts Ads - the reality From: Azizi Guest Layah.. In reference to Mudcat discussion forum, you said: "What a waste of time this is!" Oh, no! Never say it's so!! SInce I've joined Mudcat, I've learned a lot about music and other topics. I've also relaxed, enjoyed myself, sharpened my writing and computer skills, and met many interesting people from around the world-all in the privacy of my own home! It's all that-and a bag of chips!! [if you can dig it...} --- Sinsull... Did you really mean your 'nasty business' comment? Sometimes I can't tell 'serious' from 'sarcasm' on the Internet... I think this thread is PC not *nasty* .. and even people who know Cupid intimately can post here...you don't have to have a lonely heart.. I don't... Ms. Azizi |

02 Feb 05 - 11:15 PM (#1397420) Subject: RE: BS: Lonely Hearts Ads - the reality From: Layah Azizi, I was not being serious about waste of time. It is of course the same kind of waste of time as any socializing type activity. It doesn't get my homework done, it doesn't make me well rested in the morning, but since when does that ever stop me from doing something? It is necessary to life. Well, not necessarily mudcat itself necessary to life, but activity other than those specifically required of me. For my 'lonely heart.' Or possibly my lack of spatulas. |

03 Feb 05 - 12:30 AM (#1397473) Subject: RE: BS: Lonely Hearts Ads - the reality From: Teresa My guess would be the men's area of that quote in the first post? Or that is how I read it. Teresa |

03 Feb 05 - 04:00 AM (#1397573) Subject: RE: BS: Lonely Hearts Ads - the reality From: Teresa I tried one of those online dating services that finds local people for you. I just didn't like it, because there was no cultural context to speak of. I prefer to find an activity I like doing and meet people that way. I can definitely make friends, and finding a sweetheart would be nice if it happened, too, though not necessary. :) Teresa |

03 Feb 05 - 04:20 AM (#1397586) Subject: RE: BS: Lonely Hearts Ads - the reality From: Azizi GUEST,blushing catter - Thank your friend for us for writing this and thank you for your translation!
