| you're lucky enough to live near water, | | | | fun and you want someone who will love |
| hang about (not leeringly...) at the | | | | you, not some made-up version of |

| Stores, Stationary Supply Stores, the | | | | great big jerk at the end of the leash! |
| Jean Stores (yes, contrary to popular | | | | (Ha, ha! I'm amusing myself, now, with |
| opinion, many wealthy men wear jeans!) | | | | that dog analogy!) Be extra careful not |
| and, of course, the grocery and liquor | | | | to get too swept up in the cars and |
| stores!I'm not sure why Bars got such a | | | | houses (although, I've been known to be |

| 'the wealthy' generally didn't start out | | | | with, so might as well pretend that the |
| that way -- you might find a diamond in | | | | other stuff isn't in the picture and see |
| the rough!Sports Games are great, too | | | | if you still like him. (Although, truth |
| (small plug -- I'd like to see every | | | | be told, there's many a man who would be |

| there! Although those MBA guys are | | | | your Wealth, together. Doesn't that |
| great, too...) ... Should be NBA Games, | | | | sound like fun? Plus, Rich to one person |
| then go meet the Players -- there's | | | | might mean being able to pay all the |
| usually a cool Bar in or nearby the | | | | bills without worrying, and to the next |
| Arena where you could 'mingle'! No | | | | person 'Rich' might mean having the |
| gushing, though -- play it calm and | | | | biggest Yacht in the Habour. Make up |
| collected -- they'll appreciate the lack | | | | your own mind about 'How much does it |
