(I somehow lost my post in the middle of reviewing it--sorry if this ends up posted twice! Now let's see if I can remember what I wrote.)
I was talking with a friend about swimming and she said she started "swimming for life" x number of years ago. I got the sense that she meant that it was more than a good workout--it kept her "alive." I have to admit that it has that kind of effect for me, too. At the risk of sounding too new-agey, it's nourishing in more than a physical sense.
What does swimming mean to you? How does that compare to other sports or activities you do? How does that meaning influence your goals and performance?

Think there is a typo in that sentence and it should read: I know, you guys are busy being slapped with restraining orders by the popular girls.
Conniekat, you have to realize you have two of the automatic no-no's for dating:
1) You speak Martian or whatever language they speak in Croatia. ;) This means that you can talk about a guy to your relatives, even if he's in the room. The paranoia level for this is huge. My mom used to talk to her mother in the weird German/Yiddish mixture they spoke and it drove my dad crazy even when they weren't talking about him (rare).
2) There is a time in every relationship where a guy thinks to himself: "Boy, I'm glad she doesn't have a gun or she'd kill me for sure." So... a crack shot girlfriend sounds like an invitation to visit terminal dreamland.
