Impressive on how long that kitchen gadget was purchased. Plus yum to cream cheese cookies. I invested in a cookie gun press a few years back from Pampered Chef. It’s perfect for making spritz cookies that I do every holiday. 

Nope. A big no for me on the mullet. I don’t care who it is, there is a better style for them than that. Ugh.

It doesn’t say that he isn’t Ted Cruz...

I don’t think it’s disingenuous either. Even though you have the connection with Berliner, you don’t know when you’ll be able to see him again or things will work out.

Well all that sounds perfectly doable.  So it’s not like there was a previous history of him saying he wasn’t going to commit or something?  I think it’s fair to pursue this.  As far as the phone sex goes, if that seems too...I don’t know...icky...why not start with sexting?  The only rule there is, don’t ever take a…

am I hung up on Berlin because I’ve not met anyone else, or have I not met anyone else because I’m hopelessly hung up on Berlin

My 2 cents? Chemistry is great but recently I realized it doesn’t always present itself they way we think it does. It sometimes at least in my experience isn’t the lightning bolt that we think will hit us when we first meet someone. It can actually be a delayed experience as happened to me.

I don’t see waiting as a bad thing as long as you aren’t leading any of your current dates on, but if you really can’t feel it with others, don’t force yourself. You may have to speak your heart and find out what’s what, but that won’t be so bad either, really. You’ll know one way or the other.

I really can’t wait for Happy Days Are Here Again!

Also, it might be really hard to find that kind of Spark via pandemic dating. Like, it might just not feel right because its hard to get a sense of that kind of chemistry through zoom.

Yes. This science wins and we can have nice things, like sitting inside a coffee shop, or, you know, visiting family without worrying about catching a Very Serious Illness. 

It’s really hard to know for sure. Maybe you haven’t found spark with a new person because your head and heart are already taken with your old friend, but it’s also possible that you just haven’t met another spark-inspiring person, yet. Back when I was dating I met and went out with plenty of smart, cool, good looking…

Damn, I don’t wanna be a baddie, but red and black are just GOOD ;-).

I don't think you're being disingenuous, no sparks yet, but you never know, and hopefully people will get vaccinated, and we can put this all behind us, but there's no time line. Maybe you'll just confirm that Berliner is the one for you, maybe you'll make some new friends? Maybe someone will knock your socks off! 

I miss pho! I’ll have other soups from the local Viet-Thai place (Tom Yum is also good for what ails you) but since going vegetarian I haven’t found a good veggie pho. It does make sense with what you’ve been through—probably-covid sucks (my husband and I probably had it back in March, and he’s turning into a…

Hi lemon! 

Is pho the same as ramen?

Shelter Catstravaganza!

Due to the pandemic, I will be picking up ten hours of overtime a week starting Monday. The hospital has also gone from a COVID unit to a COVID floor to two floors, effective yesterday.
