I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

We're planning on dropping the rental car off on our way back from Mendo, b/c we figured that public transportation would be WAY easier in SF -- are you conveniently MUNI-adjacent?

More or less - why don't you e me with the details, and I can provide a breakdown of where you'll need to go?

As long as it's not *too* spendy, because we're trying to stick to a budget on the trip.

Thees ees why I suggested the nabe - I have zee, how do you say, "connections".

I don’t know. This guy sounds a lot like the thirtysomething women who write in to complain that the nice, stable, employed guys they meet always turn out to be boring, and that the charming, exciting, irresponsible men can’t be depended on, and when they are with one type they wish they were with the other and what, oh what, are they to do? There has been no shortage of print and film devoted to this dilemma.

Is he any worse?

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

Is he any worse?

Yes, if your statement is to be equivalent. You can't combine stable and irresponsible like you describe into one person without being all MPD. His desired characteristics can totally be combined, and the idea that they can't is hella weird.

Damn. All the gluttons for punishment are already taken!!

Sounds like you are having a lot of fun Steph. I'm glad you are having a great trip.

Yeah, as someone about to turn 30, I'm a little puzzled by the "30 something women can't be hot like a 23 year old" I mean, maybe on average, the 23 year olds are hotter/more in shape/whatever, and maybe if you're comparing the 23 year old to a 39 year old, but...I think there are plenty of women out there who are in their early 30s and just as hot as a 23 year old? Am I wrong? Am I deluding myself? (Me, I'm now in better shape than I've been since I was about 20, but that's just personal)

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

You're not wrong, meara. I'm sure someone could Nilly up some shots of very attractive 30-some women just from the Hollywood pool alone.

Not to mention some of the ones right here!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I think it is like annoying women saying nice or stable and fun or sexy cannot be combined.

Our wings are not tired.

Fabulous pictures, Gud. Are the gardens someplace close enough for you to go often? I don't know if you could get close, but these smell awesome. [link] They are some of my favorites in Florida.
