Hola, meara! I want your weather.
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Daniel just called. He made it safely to work. And it only took 3 1/2 hours to do it.

Holy crap, Andi. That's insane. We've been getting nasty sleety stuff and I went out in it to do some chores, but I wouldn't have done any serious driving in it. Ugh.

Thank goodness Daniel is okay. A pox on his boss.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Yay, meara!!! Have mucho fun!
Andi, that is nutso. So now, of course, Daniel won't be able to get home tonight, will he?

He's already told the boss which hotel he stayed at last time, and what type of suite. I wish he could ask to be paid for the hours on the road.
I'm not sure how much snow we've had, because it's not coming down, it's coming sideways. Some bits of the sidewalk was only 2" deep, but some was at least 6". And it has changed consistency, gotten kind of crunchy/pellet-like.

He needs to get danger pay. What the hell.
Buena suerte, meara! Or however you spell good luck in Spanish.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've been exchanging emails with a guy from eHarmony. Then we sent each other our phone numbers. And he hasn't called me, and I've been way too nervous to call him. I need to get past this -- this guy seems really great. Normal people are able to make phone calls. I should be able to do this. Tomorrow.

Script it, Hil. Have a script for if he picks up, and a script for leaving a VM. Either way, if you practice, like a call for an interview, it takes some of the tension out. "Hey, this is Hillary; we've been emailing? I have some time free next week and I'd like to see if you wanted to get a coffee/smoothie/tattoo/dinner. Would Tuesday or Thursday after 6 work or you? Let me know by Monday night. Talk to you soon!"
Have 2 potential times and 2 potential choices picked out; that "Um, so whaddya YOU wanna do?" thing makes phone calls worse. You want to offer choice, but not so much choice that a guy gets paralyzed.
And if he doesn't want to meet, you can find out now, and move on.
You can approach it as an Onerous Task (it kinda is, you know; An Interview to See If You Can See If Are Compatible) and be all "OK, I'm gonna call!" on here, then report back!
