Thanks, DD1.
Yes, I am also attracted to my pond. I've spent lots of time out with it. Long days, late evenings. I've dressed 'er up and provided a loving home. But, and I hesitate to say this delicately, my pond for all her beauty doesn't really put out. It's hard not to get jealous when I read about what you guys are doing ALL THE TIME in places like Nebraska or Texas... I'm beginning to think that beauty is not really very important, and that a more wild and natural pond would make me happier. Or maybe I should have more than one pond, like some of you guys. Or maybe it's just me, and my beautiful pond would 'put out' just fine for someone like Condello or N8ly. I'm embarrassed to talk about it, and my pond just acts like nothing is wrong.
That's why my pond and I are here in counseling.

"There are no greater wretches in the world than many of those whom people take to be beautiful."

This Seneca guy had to have been a Pondmeister.
