Update: All of my friends, and many people in this thread, are smarter than I am. I spent the July 4th holiday with **A** & **B.** After they picked me up, in the car, I said, “So, I figured you ought to know… **Q** and I have spent many hours on the phone, and we’ve been talking about meeting somewhere and hooking up.” **A** nodded blankly, and **B** said, “Yay!” She continued: “When we asked if people could take care of **Q** that night, we were hoping you’d be the one.” So, it was a setup all along, and I’m an oblivious moron. 🙂 Anyway, we’re probably going to meet in Chicago for Lollapalooza. ---

Heh - “butter the monkey.” I’m totally going to steal that. I also plan to call my husband my “hot buttered love monkey.” He’s used to me by now. 😃 One point to consider - you’re looking at the consequences if it doesn’t work out, but have you looked at the consequences if it _does_? You probably know this, but living a continent apart is a real factor in a relationship. (Did Raul Ibanez play at the game you went to? We thought it was hilarious when they did the chant for him - “RaOOOOOOL! RaOOOOOL IBANNyez!” to the tune of “Werewolves of London.”) ---

I know I’m a little late to the party, but I just had to say Good for you! What does she do? Will she be able to move here? I’m a complete optomist, so I assume everything will work out for the best. Because, that’s the only way it can work out. There are no do-overs, so get it right the first time. In my mind, the worst thing to happen in any endeavor is regret. ---

Oh, how my heart sank when I saw the cast of characters (“A & B - a married couple; Q - a smoking hot friend of theirs.”) I feared I was walking into one of those Penthouse-Forum-letters-disguised-as-a-legitimate- thread threads… Shwew! Good luck with Q! ---

Hey! I live in New York - wanna hang out - just you, me and Q? Come ON - we’ll have a GREAT time…see some sights - I know the best places to get dirty-water dogs, and we can see Cats or something! It’ll be fun! Heck, I can bring my kids - they’re 9 and 6, and we could go to the American Girl store! Wow - doesn’t that sound great? Cervaise? Cervaise? Where’d you go - I wanna show you some brochures about the Empire State Building - Cervaise? 😃 Have a great time!
