Oops... [snip] > I need some advice! [snip] > Any thoughts (especially from couples)? You need advice about your relationship, not about boats. Anybody who had not expressed much interest in boating (even though you are avowedly avid), UNTIL confronted by a tangible threat to her control over you is more interested in managing the relationship than she is in boating. Buy the double. Your next girlfriend will be someone you meet on the water during the "detachment" phase of your current relationship. The two of you will love the Aerius, intensify your enamoration within it, and the first child will no doubt be named "Aerius." -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR no Dear Abby, but been there, done that! *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Mar 06 2000 - 01:44:22 PST
