So, are we down to an anagram? I believe in God, Tim believes in dog?
Help, Wayne!
Not that I don't accept his analogy. The more girls I've dated, the more I
appreciate my dog.

Not to pound a sensitive nerve, but for me that would raise a red flag of
what are you seeking that drove you into a relationship in the first place.
As for me, I was actually thinking about how to get ahold of all the past
women in my life, as I would definitely want them at my wedding (if things
work out with the LA girl). Not to gloat over them (though I did consider
that) but because I consider them a valuable part of who I am, and who I've
become.
Of course, to invoke the previous thread, my claim is that I am anchored in
who I am precisely through my relationship with the divine, and all my female
relationships are mediated the same way, hence I have one core invariant
amidst all the other changes.
In fact, I would see Tim's comment supporting Adam's viewpoint (not that
we're keeping score or anything :=). There is in fact the danger than the
method one uses to explore the many are incompatible with what it would take
find the ONE. Some good things do only come to those who wait.
