I love this phrase. May I use it?

Of course. It would be my honor.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

yay babies . and yay eating.

As far as taking risk in romance I believe in following instincts ,( which is not the same as hormones). You can make up rules,because they help you remember and /or articulate why something is a problem. I don't every remember making any rules are red flags - but then I never did a long term dating. But I tend to move very slowly, so not too many guys stuck around. Knowing your own tendencies is probably the better way to make a judgment on suspected red flags

In terms of separated. It depends. My Brother is recently divoriced, but it took time for the divorce to become final even though they had a signed agreement about the divorce and were just waiting for court approval. But they specifically put in the separation agreement that there was no hope of reconciliation, that the separation was just until the divorce became final and that they were both free to see other people. (It was very much NOT a friendly divorce-in spite of being able to agree on all the legal issues, they really dislike each other. Fortunately no mutual kids are involved.) Obviously this does not translate into "took off wedding ring two weeks ago" is a good risk. But I would say separation by itself should not automatically be a warning flag; how big a risk it is depends on circumstances of the sepearation.

Mojito cupcakes are of the yum. The bakery near Lori's house makes them every so often and I like 'em well enough. Not MORE than red velvet though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, Tommy! I so hope it doesn't come to that.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Tommy, my thoughts are with you and Senor. I really hope he pulls through and you have more years together.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Thanks, y'all. I'm sorta' mentally just thinking to tonight and tomorrow (when I'll talk to the vet again) and not really beyond that.

Am going over to a friend's house to try to keep my mind off things. (But she has WiFi so I may pop in here later.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm so sorry, tommyrot. Have a nice distracting evening.
