What sort of carnival ride are we talking - the Scrambler?

That sounds about right Ferret.
Well being attracted is overrated in my book. Mostly because it's a physical reaction, not an intellectual one. Let's face it, fires burn hot in the beginning and then fade if the fuel is unavailable. Finding a really good reliable friend that can maintain a steady comfortable relationship with deep intellectual connection, emotional maturity, and compatible sense of humor is priceless. I find that letting go of the Forever Fairy tale is probably the best way to go. You know, no body odor, no morning breath, no flatulence, perfumed feet.... embrace the realness of real people, with all their flaws, odors, and bad habits. Finding someone who is genuine, real, who burps and farts and can laugh about it and not have a freaking stroke over it, someone with a plump tummy, wrinkles and thinning hair, bad teeth, and snores.... now that Ladies and Gentleman is a keeper.
