@Kloi my last ex, I took her to a really high quality cowboy art museum when we were in Prescott AZ.

I had a wonderful time and I left feeling inspired by the paintings and bronze work.

She on the other hand, she didn't feel much of anything. It was really disheartening. Maybe that should of been a good sign to think twice about her but mannn.... she had huge beautiful tits.

Now that I have been broken up with her for some time, I can really see how spiritually and emotionally absent she was. I guess thats what I get for being with an engineer.

Museums are great places to take chicks on dates. It gives you the opportunity to let her talk about herself, which is 90% of the work when dating.

However, it likely wasn't because she was an engineer that made her dour on that date. You gave her mixed messages by telling her you didn't want to marry or have kids, then later suggesting you both move into a place together. This shouldn't be mistaken for me thinking you took advantage of her, I still think she was stupid for taking your disinterest in marriage as her 'hold my beer challenge', but it treads into one of the few bits of useful relationship advice I ever got from my mother. Namely, her telling me cohabitation with any female who wasn't kin would be a catastrophically bad idea, as all other females anywhere in the world generally see moving in with a guy as a prelude to marriage.

Thanks to that pearl of wisdom, I'd later understand that no matter how spiritually lobotomized and spiritually demoralized any female might be, none ever lose sight of their little girl dreams of one day being a bride at a wedding, whether they grew up in the Soviet Union, or had six miles of ¢0¢& run through them before the guy who was stupid enough to propose. They will otherwise have no intention of ever fulfilling the roles and responsibilities of a faithful wife, or even being a diligent mother to their children, but they'll be damned if they let the opportunity to be the center of attention slip through their fingers.

St. Saturninus November 29th | Saint of the Day

St. Saturninus Bishop of Toulouse and Martyr November 29 A.D. 257.

St. Saturninus went from Rome by the direction of pope Fabian, about the year 245, to preach the faith in Gaul, where St. Trophimus, the first bishop of Arles, had some time before gathered a plentiful harvest. In the year 250, when Decius and Gratus were consuls, St. Saturninus fixed his episcopal see at Toulouse. Fortunatus tells us, that he converted a great number of idolaters by his preaching and miracles. This is all the account we have of him till the time of his holy martyrdom. The author of his acts, who wrote about fifty years after his death, relates, that he assembled his flock in a small church; and that the capitol, which was the chief temple in the city, lay in the way between that church and the saint's habitation. In this temple oracles were given; but the devils were struck dumb by the presence of the saint as he passed that way. The priests spied him one day going by, and seized and dragged him into the temple. declaring that he should either appease the offended deities by offering sacrifice to them, or expiate the crime with his blood. Saturninus boldly replied: "I adore one only God, and to him I am ready to offer a sacrifice of praise. Your gods are devils, and are more delighted with the sacrifice of your souls than with those of your bullocks. How can I fear them who, as you acknowledge, tremble before a Christian?" The infidels, incensed at this reply, abused the saint with all the rage that a mad zeal could inspire, and after a great variety of indignities, tied his feet to a wild bull, which was brought thither to be sacrificed. The beast being driven from the temple, ran violently down the hill, so that the martyr's scull was broken, and his brains dashed out. His happy soul was released from the body by death, and fled to the kingdom of peace and glory, and the bull continued to drag the sacred body, and the limbs and blood were scattered on every side, till, the cord breaking, what remained of the trunk was left in the plain without the gates of the city. Two devout women laid the sacred remains on a bier, and hid them in a deep ditch, to secure them from any further insult, where they lay in "wooden coffin" till the reign of Constantine the Great. Then Hilary, bishop of Toulouse, built a small chapel over this his holy predecessor's body Sylvius, bishop of that city towards the close of the fourth century, began to build a magnificent church in honor of the martyr, which was finished and consecrated by his successor Exuperius, who, with great pomp and piety, translated the venerable relics into it. This precious treasure remains there to this day with due honor.
