*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MASSAGE ***

I have put in my two pence worth (approx $0.02) on a few
subjects, now lets have a go at this one. I have stated elsewhere
that I have been happily married for almost 13 years. I wear a
solid plain gold ring on my 3rd finger left hand and a sort of
signet (sp?) ring on my third finger right hand. The only times I
take these off are when (a) I wash (or shower or bath), (b) when
working on the car or with electrical stuff and (c) when I bowl.
I have had to come to Illinois for three months (two weeks home
for good behaviour at Christmas) and consequently have been in
several bars wearing my rings. This barvisiting has been, on
occasion, alone and on other occasions with friends in varying
quantity and of both genders. There is my reason for being
married and visiting a bar. Same as Dick, to get a drink.

On the occasions when I have sought a MOTOS for companionship
I have never removed my rings in order to look "unmarried".
I am married, I am looking for a MOTOS, she should know I am
married right from the start. Honesty is it?
