FR Just to say: I like people who actually *are* "bubbly" - I just can't stand the word being used. I suppose it's like people who say that they have a 'GSOH' - they generally don't have a great sense of humour - they just have a grating sense of humour. Oh gawd. Oh gawd .... That word, 'discreet'. I once used that. I will never, ever use it again. Many moons ago I talked of visiting the USA to meet up with a female friend I'd met here on CM. I asked her to be 'discreet', because I knew I couldn't go all around the USA to meet everyone I wanted to meet and to whom I'd chatted at length here on CM. I didn't want to upset anyone. And said friend, the one to whose home I wanted to travel, really *was* just a friend. Christ, did she pounce on that word 'discreet'. Instantly, I became some tart who wanted to shag his way around America. I probably had a partner here, too (and she checked - and was proud to *tell* me she'd checked, as well). Men so often lie about the fact that they're married, I learned, in a very, very big way .... Yep, OK, I get that. Christ on a giraffe, I'd know better than to use that word 'discreet' ever again. I've met and got to know lots of Americans on CM, most of them women, and I'd love to visit all of them. But I would never be able to do that. I don't have the time nor the money. America is a *very* big place. So how would I handle it? I think I'd just visit those people who I *know* would understand, and would be discreet about my visiting, without my ever having to ask for such discretion.
