[Faith-talk] Worries of the VI/Blind finding mates....

[Everett Gavel]

HI Lisa, and Beth, and all,

Well, thanks for that line of thought, Ladies.

I'm not sure I ever really thought about
"requirements," though now that you mention it, I guess
there are some, though most if not all are negotiable
now that I've come to learn more of and get to know
God.  (smile)

For the last few years I've somewhat jokingly said I
need to find a woman from Australia or England or
something.  Because with those accents, especially the
Aussie brand of female accent I've heard, my joke is
that I could listen to her 24/7, even if she was
yelling at me.  I'd just be like, "Yes, Dear.  Uh-huh,
Honey, whatever you say."  And enjoy being yelled at
even!  It's that accent.  It's so dang easy to listen
to, you know?  (grin)

So okay, I could bypass that.  Maybe God could just
match me up with someone who could pretend to have an
Aussie accent if she goes to yelling at me? lol!


G'night,
Everett
