-t, I am so sorry for your loss.

I think I've got my act together for the wedding tomorrow. Hotel room, dress, pedicure, directions, petsitter, wedding gift...Figure I'll go walking in the morning, go for a swim, wash the sheets, pack up, do a round of "oh dear god, people seeing my messy house!" and head out midafternoon. I'll shower and dress at the hotel. Debating taking the laptop, but probably won't. I should cram a trip to staples for an inkcartridge in there somewhere. Went to print out instructions and oh yeah, out of ink.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I napped all day long and didn't really wake up until an hour ago. Here's hoping I can fall back to sleep at a reasonable time tonight!

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

I know one has to consider the source, but does anyone know women on whom these tips would work? Do people really still think that negging works? And isn't "I was just noticing how well your shoes show off your calves, and although I'm sure you're already aware of this, sometimes it's nice to get outside confirmation." an incredibly creepy thing to be told?

I mean, I'm totally not averse to being picked up, but seriously. Don't be That Guy. If you do need tips, these just seem to guarantee you're going home kneed in the nuts.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Remember: Women don't expect to be hit on as they go about their daily lives, and, therefore, they are that much more flattered when it happens.

There, fixed that.

OK, my upstairs smells of an odd combo of honeysuckle and Idon'tknowwhat. I think it is the tree outside. It's about to go into its summer misting mode. It's not unpleasant, just unexpected.

I would only expect to be hit on as I go about my daily life, because all I do is go about my daily life. But it's not flattering. It's just living. How you do it makes it flattering or not. And mostly? Done wrong. Not that it's happened to me in a million years. But it doesn't happen to me in bars either.

It is a linden tree. I just never knew they smelled.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Apparently the goal is casual sex? (Per the 15 minute rule or whatever -- the page eventually crashed IE.) Which I guess makes things easier? I mean, a woman who is open to meeting casual sex partners at the grocery store is probably pretty open to creepy lines, maybe?

No.

Unless you meant some other woman.

I mean, I have no problem with casual sex hookups, but creepy lines are still creepy. If what you say is important (and the premise of the article is that it is), DON'T SAY THAT.
