That is a good point; I mentally categorize him as "friend" because I've known him for over 20 years.
He's an excellent doctor, and was really great with me when I was at the ER, explaining all manner of medical fiddly stuff. I'd want him as my doctor if I were in a genuine medical crisis.
But as a person, I can't say I have anything in common with him any more other than a shared past.
I hate that!
Well, it helped me win an argument with Former Pothead Step-brother, but generally?
I hate it.
brenda, I enjoyed that! and got a little sniffly.
You might enjoy this.
On a shallower note:
Oh, as if, OkCupid, where are you finding all these Sheldons?!
(One or two being literally asexual, which I don't mean to be mean about, but I do sort of feel that I've had the *not* having sex base covered well for many years while still keeping custody of the remote.) And I get that dating online confesses a certain Sheldon-ocity about my own person, especially at my age.
Still, I don't think two Sheldons can date.
brenda,
I liked the video! I was surprised to see how much solid dancing I saw. I am not sure what I expected, but they really got their dance on!
Oh good, not just me.
Or me. I started to cry in the office. Then I shared. Sorry for the FB/twitter bombing.
I just laugh at the idea of retirement. I've got some annuities with the total of a year and a half's income in them, but I'll be working as long as I possibly can.
Yeah, my 401(k) has about one year of income in it at this time, and I'll get $85/mo from the company pension which shut down back in 1996, but that's all I've got outside of Social Security, which I'm praying I'll still have in 20 years.
I have not opened my retirement statements for 3 years. I know it is avoidance of the worst sort, but I just can't bear it.
I'm really fortunate that my company puts in a lump sum of a certain percentage of my annual income every year, because I haven't put one penny of my own money into it. And with school going on, I won't be able to contribute anything out of my own pocket until after I get my MLS.
