I was raging at my husband (who was watching the bachelor by himself, after I told him a little preview of this scene). The way he was getting in her face, invalidating her emotions ("can you stop crying for me?") — there were some yellow flags there.

Recently my Canadian husband and I had a conversation wherein I found out he believes Olive Garden is a vegetarian restaurant. There are some in Calgary but he's never been, mostly because he fears vegetarian restaurants :-)

It's obviously Dodai.

What do libraries and bookstores do with books like Million Little Pieces, or Three Cups of Tea? Just assume the reader knows the dealio, insert a disclaimer, re-file under Fiction, something else?

Search for online coupon codes, too! I used eharmony for seven months, and paid a grand total of $30. Met my spouse, too :-)

You just know the fish would latch on really well, though.

The wink and eyebrow raise really seal the deal for me. Also, no ring = single fish hunter lady is MINE!

This is a stock photo, meaning someone thought this might actually be used someday.

Do you ever play dumb and comment on those posts, dragging out the conversation as much as possible? I would be very tempted to do just that.

I would say sorry.. but I'm a seattle fan.

I know! I am from Seattle too. And oh the Mariners. Somewhere I still have a tape of '95 season highlights. It actually makes me cry. Dave Neihaus is my imaginary grandpa.

I can approve anybody who wants the Hawks. Excellent.

Yum, sounds so good! I received a stick blender for Christmas and have been itching for ways to use it. This sounds amazing!

Good luck! I would maybe say, stay away from looking online too much. For me too, it creates false expectations and hopes. Take your time, be open to possibilities. Even if you are pretty certain that you will move in a few years, keep in mind that you will still live in that house and neighborhood for that time and…

How do you make the sauce?

Normally I would say "find someone else!" but I know what it's like to be in a not-urban area. I would maybe give her one or two more chances, and either grit your teeth and ignore her comments, or be direct and say "I don't want the highlights." Don't even say whether you can afford them or not, because she may be…

Exercise. Even a walk around the block, taking deep breaths. Fruit and veg, too.

Whoohoo! Congratulations!
