Small Bites

She will always miss the man she did not meet. When a man and a woman dislike each other there is always love in the mix. Folks that speak less respect your own silence. You will always marry a stranger. He will always consider the woman he never met his ideal female. If you win the genetic lottery you will likely always feel less than you really are. Never mistake need for love. When Micky Mouse got 'woke' rats moved into Disney Land. Quotes are small edible bites of the same elephant.

Eric, I really liked your line, "Never mistake need for love," because I truly believe it is one of the causes of so many divorces these days. Interestingly, I've never thought much about the women I never met, but it's something I'll think about now.

I never liked my first name, Eric, for some reason, so I've avoided anyone knowing it or using it or, worst of all, deriving a nickname for me using it. If I told you here, soon everyone on the site would be jokingly calling me by it. So, just stick with Milt, okay?

Thanks for the feedback L. Milton. May I ask what your L before Milton stands for? You are right about need and love of course. Dreamers often imagine the grass is greener somewhere else!
