8. All the girls I wanna get it on with are taken. I shall not interfere.
If there's a single one we click together with, you bet I will.

Would love to.

10. You mean, turn right wing?
"straighten up" is probably obvious, probably, but "fly right" has only one inference...

11. No, not at all.
The whole phrase is a single expression,
kinda in the vein of "get your act together"
or "act your age" or "stop acting the fool".

(3 'act' references, odd...)

If you ever start doing any of those things,
I will be surprised.

Mostly SADDENED,:evilfrown: , but surprised nonetheless.

12. I don't know whether to laugh or cry!
"Act my age"? Define age! And who are you to do so? :7

"Get your act together" Give me an incentive. O8)

"Stop acting the fool" That means I'm either acting like a fool... or I am a fool who just comes across more intelligently due to my eloquent use of English vernacular.

:D

13. Cheer up. Not complain. Be optomistic.
That'd shock the hell out of me, since you asked.

14. Three weeks ago I was cheery!
Didn't complain either!

Of course, it was for 6 hours only... but so was the bedding sale at Sears. :7

Compared to 2 years ago, I am much closer to being genuinely optimistic. Though for a narrow set of circumstances; nobody's perfect... :D

Can complaining be genetic?

15. Dunno. You Jewish? (Though kvetching isn't the sole province of Jews;
one side of my family whan I was growing up was ALWAYS bitching about what went on at the papermill where they worked, and they weren't Jewish. So I guess that might be a stereotype.)

16. I also talk a lot with my hands.
:7

I probably am at heart.

Dunno.

I've not read up on it.

But 3 weeks ago I did get lucky; no wonder I was content for a while! :rofl:

17. Nah, the talking with the hands is more Italian than Jewish, even
though it's common to a lot of Mediteranean types...

One other thing: The more you think of it as getting "lucky" the longer it'll take until you figure out that luck has nothing to do with it.

Take that advice from Uncle Redstone; I've been alive about twice as long as you have, and probably awake about four times as long; long enough to know that I should have trademarked that advice about "getting lucky" and sold it to Hallmark.
