We go through life making our decisions and in the end our decisions make us.

At 53, I'm thinking of bucking the system. I'm gonna paste a sign on my fanny that says...'As is...No returns...No refunds...No guarantee'
Yeah...that's it...

One thing you can count on in life...there are no guarantees. Things are always changing in ways it is impossible to predict. At this point in my life, I have few expectations. I just want to lead a nice quiet existence and be a good friend to the many people who have helped me along the way.

The suspense is killing me. Clearly Khan is up to something!
I think she is going to move in with the guy who recently visited and took that beautiful picture on Flickr.
Or maybe she is negotiating to leave all her assets to the Khan foundation.
Whatever it is, Khan, best of luck with the negotiations!

I am sorry, but the idea of sexual negotiation has me puzzled...don't believe I've ever negotiated for sex....am sure that "negotiating price" (as, with a prostitute) is not what is meant...so what could it be? "I'll do this to you, if you'll do that (or not do that) to me"? Too funny...
(Now, marital negotiation - why, there's tautology for you).

We negotiate the price. Stereotypically the female considering accepting the offer: dinner, movie, engagement ring...?

You can drive and park your car or there are many car services to the airport . That will pick you up and deliver you for a price .Look in the yellow pages under airport transportation . In some areas there are also shuttles that you can take for a lesser price . Since you have some money I'd vote for use the car service and treat yourself . That way you do not have to worry about the climate .

I dunno. I understand what Khan is saying, but...do women (non-prostitutes) still do this? What with all the shacking up cohabitation to see if we are compatible; "friends with benefits," etc. Seems like any "negotiation" is solely on the basis of "I think we'd be good in bed, do you think the same?"

This is special Khan. I'm sure you'll find your way to the airport just fine.
Consider Champagne .
