sj, peace and love to you and yours. It's so hard.
We're in love. We're ... lovers. We're lesbian, gay-type lovers.

[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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

erika, I might just point that out to him should he call again.
I might add that we are already walking his dog for less than half of what we charge normally.
Jackhole indeed.
I can't say that I've never taken advantage of a situation in my life. But This? (He has never even mentioned the poor dog.)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I just joined OK Cupid again. I'll see how this goes.

"Well, we *were* cool, but now you have forced me to add an insensitivity tax of forty percent." (for jackhole dog guy) Hil, good luck. I'm not sure what I was looking for from an online date, just that I didn't find it. Met some nice people, though.

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.
Ok bonny, I have to say that for some reason I was kinda expecting some other shoe to drop with this very sad situation - I was expecting someone, somehow, to be a jackhole. And now that it has happened, I can just say how glad I am that the jackholery is adjacent to the people actually involved. It sucks for anyone to have to be touched by it, but it isn't inside any of the protagonists, so to speak.

Andi, the company owner said what you said.
I actually expected a negative grief response, which might still come, but that I could totally understand.
This. Seriously, I can't remember the last time I was so sideswiped by someone else's behavior. In that puppy-tilts-its-head, bzuh? sort of way.
I've regained my wits and will pretty much do what erika said, if he comes back to me.
I pretty much live by Bruce Springsteen's eulogy for Harry Chapin which, in paraphrase, goes, "He did what he could for the other guy and always had a clear eye on the wicked ways of the world."
This one snuck up on me. I may need to have my eyes checked.

It's mot a bad thing that you don't expect people to be that opportunistic and horrible.

You know, it often seems that, no matter how low you set the bar, someone will find a way to get under it. Kind of a moral limbo.
