Mademoiselle,
sorry I didn't elaborate. I believe Max Beckmann said automobile travel was bad for the artist because it messed up there natural perception of reality [I think]. The automobile is moving too fast.... was, I think, where he was coming from.

Mademoiselle, How does this work? If you post, then modify the post a few days later because of 'censorship' and then we all come back for another look, is your rating boosted because of all of the 'new' clicks? 
......pretty cool..... 
.....have you considered becoming a stock broker? Moon_Spirit

That would be an interesting post, Azur ...
One time, each of us independently wrote out lists of all the things we wanted to change about the other person. My list included two items; James' contained about 30.

Doesn't drive? James sounds like an artist. The German painter Max Beckmann
said to stay away from the "motorcar".

Mademoiselle, Once again you have hit the nail on the head. Your accuracy makes my hair stand on end. I guess it’s obvious that I would continue to try to guess; which really means that I am ankle deep in doo doo here; or maybe even calf, knee or thigh deep. I feel like you and I have always seen pretty much eye to eye before this but, I’m sure you’re raising an eyebrow in skepticism now. Trust me, none of this is tongue in cheek. Please don’t make me the butt of one of your jokes. Instead (and I’m sticking my neck out here) I like to walk with you shoulder to shoulder. I’ll keep (a)breast of this situation, in case you change your mind. Truthfully, the whole affair is starting to give me a tummy ache. There’s more than one way to skin a “cat”. In other words, “Let he who has ears to hear, hear.” OK…gotta run….there’s work to do at the orifice. Phew!…… Moon_Spirit

Mademoiselle, It is only fair that you at least tell us whether the body part is visible (i.e., on the outside of the body) or invisible (i.e., on the inside the body) or both (e.g., the mouth and other things of that nature). Scout's honor I will not try to guess the body part. Moon_Spirit

Generally speaking, Cringe, my boyfriend is very progressive-minded and respectful towards women, actually...
In fact, it took him about four dates to muster the nerve to put his arm around me.
He's just, occasionally, a tad shallow, that's all.

Guatemala eh? Must be cheaper there, like Croatia or something.
Well to be fair to your bf, only two of the points are directly related to him, the rest are kind of environmental, and well - you've chosen the context.
I had an ex who gave my boobs male names, so three years later (and married to someone else) I still kind of shudder.

Seriously though, Cringe, my mother hasn't had plastic surgery.

I'm really not with her every second though.
And there were those unexplained trips to Guatemala.

You'd really have to ask him, Schatz, but I guess he meant the pretty face would be tainted by the body being ruined.
I didn't really care to hear him elaborate on the topic.

Agree with Schatz although
a certain amount of the 'ruination' can be genetic. What does your mother look like after having kids? Is her skin fairly elastic?
My mother's tummy looks like a half filled water balloon, regrettably so does mine :(
Your bf's mother must've scared him at the beach or something.

Eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwww.I know plenty of hot chicks who've had kids.
Pregnancy didn't ruin my body, I did, by not taking care of it. And besides, what does ugly have to do with it? Isn't that about your face (mostly)?
Well, at least if you wanted to get away from him ever, he couldn't just hop in the car and follow you!!! LMAO

I wasn't too pleased with the (overwhelmingly positive) reaction to my mother. So, I figure I can at least make my boyfriend look bad by randomly reciting negative facts taken completely out of context.

2. Nope.
3. No! Stop guessing! One time, Manon let it slip out (that she knew), and James stopped speaking to me for a month.

1 - i have friends who don't drive. i can appreciate they're not adding to
the environmental problems but to never experience a road trip? what an uneventful life.
2 - is it the little dimples on either side of the base of the spine above the tailbone?
3 - is it dolores? 'cause it's not too hip for this room.
