after all the love songs I've danced and sung, I have become simple about how to make it work:
Love them, really love them and the rest will follow.

I know how simple this is but I've seen a lot of relatinships and I've sung and danced a lot of songs. People do all sorts of things other than practicing loving, in ways like Dotsie, posted.. They play games, fight for fun until someone gets hurt, they take each other for granted or in the case of entertainers, they marry for money for fame.

Just love the person will all your heart every day and night and all should be well. The most popular love songs, if you think about them, are simple.

ie: "You are so beautiful to me" Joe Cocker
"Every breath you take," - Police
"Nothing compares to you,- Sinead O'Conner by Prince
"I will always love you," Whitney Huston, and written and performed first by Dolly Pardon

These songs have very few lyrics and are commercial successes! Trust me, I know about this subject and I'm here to say, it's easy.

And if you don't love them, leave them so they can be loved because the most popular break up songs are simple too! Most of them are about the same ol' problems couples have.

Turn on your radio and study!

Dotsie and Dancer, you are so right. Why should it begin with them? Hubby still has bronchitis, so I got to wait with the snuggling, but I know I could do more, and I will. Thank you for the nudge.

And Dotsie, was that a motor boat you sold? Well baby oil does have petroleum, as Danita said. Haha…Oh boy, there are a thousand funnies I could say here…but shut ma mouth!

I am surely having fun reading through this thread. As I am intentionally celibate, I don't have anything to contribute but, appreciate the fact that y'all can express yourselves here. I can only imagine what it would be like with you gals at a slumber party. So, what does one who practices celibacy say? I guess it would be: "Thanks for the memories"

Well, I figured as much Lola,...with your new aviator looking over here so innocently. Or do angels make woopee too? Well why not? It might explain tornadoes and thunderstorms.

So angels are to blame fortornadoes, hurricanes and thunderstorms, hey???? Never knew that before, Hannelore.
Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets; i.e., just a little jingle!

I mostly do this now half of the time so there has not been any se_, Hannelore. See? I can't even spell it now!

You are so talented on the computer Lola, I so envy that. I believe that for me being celibate as well, a song might be: 'I'll Sail My Ship Alone' by Patsy cline

Lola, you look like a pretty sexy grandma. Wooeee look at those moves!
Gims, I agree. It has to be a two way street, or nothing goes.
