I remember having this conversation before when discussing St. W and I feel weird having it again. I don't know how else to describe my flinching, but I'm pretty sure I'm standing in ita's corner. I don't know how helpful it is to give wonderful examples of how we found our wonderful soulmates because.... of.... reasons? Note: I am much more guilty of this in many, many in-person conversations than anyone else (I am assuming) so I don't want to sound judgy and attacking, because that's so not what I'm meaning to do.
I just feel very uncomfortable providing anything that looks like false hope with what I know are the best of intentions.
Ugh, I'm not saying this right.
I understand, Nora. You're not being judgy.
Nora - let's say someone was noodling on a trip to NO sometime around mid-September. There's a really good deal right now for the French Quarter Wyndham. ($169 for two nights.) Is that a reasonablish place to stay or should I wait to see what else might come along?

Thanks, Laura. Both you and Scrappy are so awesome with the clearly awesome soulmates, and I didn't want to come across wrong.
I am perhaps beings touch ridiculously protective of the not-needing-my-protection smonster.
Yes, that's a good deal for a good hotel.
YAY PEOPLE VISITING NEW ORLEANS IN MID-SEPTEMBER!!
Oh, man--sorry, smonster if I was treating you like a delicate ickle flower--I was using your name as an example with whom we are emotionally invested, that's all. I got your back if you need it, but I know you got dibs on calling your own shots (or your own zipless fucks or lobster-hunting, whichever).
Hello Bitches! I'm coming up for air after being BURIED in work (we're getting a new website up and running) and a long-term bad reaction to a vaccination.
Trying to catch up ....
I understand, Nora. I'm not trying to say that a person should hang on even when a datee says they aren't into a "relationship" but I see it sounded that way. I only mean that we can't expect all people to be perfectly clear about what they're looking for when we first meet them because THEY may not be clear.
Todd! I hope that the being buried is still with the new improved boss.

Hmmm, I was just talking to my son Brendon yesterday about my promised trip with him to New Orleans. He is a big jazz fan and I told him after he turned 21 we would go to NOLA together so that he could properly listen to jazz, as in with appropriate cocktail in hand. I did tell him it would have to wait until after summer because I am not so fond of tromping around the Quarter in July. So let me know and maybe I'll make a plan too!
It's Nora's b-day the weekend of the 13th-15th so that is my plan. You should totally come!
