So, to you saying I trust it is just that means that I DON'T trust that it is just that? PO, please read what I am writing. I was saying that I trust that what you say is exactly what you meant.

I wish I would have, it would have diffused the situation. I will really try to not treat him differently. It is not him that I am worried about as it is my inability to know how to categorize this in my brain.

I'm almost afraid to - and it was just a single "gig" to promote a particular product. If I posted the pics here I'm afraid they'd stop using them to avoid "scandal" in being associated with the online ravings of a lunatic.

Just get involved in the UPC's Global Impact - amongst all of the clutter and literature there's a picture of a couple of the best looking men in Pentecost; though my dear friend passed away some years back.

I actually didn't take it that way and I still don't, but I'm not offended, ILG. We've posted together for a long time. I like reading your posts and exchanging our views. I would say that I like you, but you might think I am gay! Sorry, I couldn't stop myself!

It made me think you had some kind of hang up about sexual things - probably because you used to be Conservative.

Seriously, or from your upbringing and past life. I don't know.

I think men are awesome, but I don't trust very many of them. I think my husband is actually the only man I have ever really trusted as far as I have. So, I do have my own hangups about things. I think we all do about certain issues to a degree. My mistrust of men doesn't hold me back and make me cynical, just cautious. So, it's definitely not a phobia. lol!

I said, "Modeling?" and he said, yes, I was a nude model about 100 pounds ago and then he went on with the conversation. To him, he seemed to be mentioning a statement of fact, but I was floored that he would casually tell me this. I poker-faced my way through the conversation and then went and hid in the back until he left. I told my supervisor what he had said because she could see I was flustered and she seemed like she may have been more amused/disturbed by my reaction than by the fact that this guy just told me openly that he was a nude model. Sometimes, I don't know how to live in this world......
All of us have somekind of used to be.. No matter if you have never been to church or you were sleeping under the pews at one week old. The key words are "used to be".
