It’s been awhile and 95% of you have never met or know me from dust, but I have been lurking from time to time and every so often an old Doper will e me and plead nicely to check in, so “hello!”
Horrified at how many Dopers (and their loved ones) have been dying . . . I don’t how often, or if, I will be checking in, as one does fall out of the habit, and I have been *such *the busy bee these past few years–but felt like stopping by to say hello.
What’s new with me? Well, I am somewhat chagrined to admit that I flirted with a *gorgeous *blind guy on the subway last week. I mean, he looked like George Hamilton in the mid-60s. Cute guide dog, no wedding ring. I thought, “don’t be silly, why would you flirt with a guy half your age?” And then I thought, “because he’s blind, you idiot—Be Bold With Bananas!” And so I was. We had a very nice chat, but then he told me he was moving to Florida (Billie Burke from Dinner at Eight voice: “Florida?! Who goes to Florida? Nobody!”) in three months, so I no longer had any use for him. How cool would a hot blind boyfriend be, though? He’d catch on to my nose soon enough, but if I told him I was a 25-year-old blonde fashion model his dog wouldn’t give me away . . .
Well, I have to say that an already-excellent Sunday was just made that much better by seeing a thread posted by Eve pop to the top of the new threads list!
And, agreed, a George-Hamilton-esque hot blind boyfriend would be trés cool.
Great to hear from you again. Most people don’t know this but in my spare time I troll public transit lines with my well trained faux guide dog Erasmus and pick up women.
Runner Pat nailed it.
Way more than 5% know you and we all miss you.
Please check in from time to time.

Hey, great to see you around here again, Eve. Seems like years since we’ve heard from you. This place would be better if you found more time to hang around.
