That's so nice, Devo! I hope you have a wonderful time!



OT: Thinking I have to go to the airport at 2:00am, which is in 3 hours. Do I try to take a nap, or just suck it up and try to sleep on the plane?

I got my nails done yesterday (gel) and one has already chipped.

Got a complaint? Need a place to whine? This is it. Whether your issue is large or small, the Whambulance is here for you.

Hi Blondey! It's nice to see you, my friend!

Totally agree with you about the forums. They're becoming a ghost town.

I'm always hesitant to start a new thread because I'm afraid I'll get hit with the "There's already a thread on this topic" and then a link to a thread from 10 years ago. Then when you post in it, people complain that you're digging up old threads. You just can't win!

Maybe we should all post a new thread. I'll do one, but it probably won't be very intellectual.

Nope!

Maybe River now?

That's not unreasonable. Why do you think you've been scammed so often? Have you started noticing similar patterns in those who scam you? They tend to become pretty easy to spot. Wishing you all the best.

RIVER!!! I'm so happy to see you, my friend! I hope you are well.

We just started watching season 1 of Yellowstone. Pretty good so far!



OT: Procrastinating. I'm supposed to be working on a presentation I have to give at the staff party next week.

Nope! It's me!

Slim?

Ten more days...

Oh my word.

Agree. I don't understand why people think they are entitled to an explanation when a person has decided after a few messages that they are no longer interested. I do think, however, that if you've been talking for quite a while (or know each other from the forums) that it is best to kindly let the other person know.

Hot!

Making s'mores over a campfire

Nope!

Pumpi?

Break out a deck of cards and play Go Fish.

I wonder how she has been? Hi Pumpi! Miss you, girl!

Long distance is hard and rarely works out. But it can, if both people are really committed to making it work. What that looks like is different for everyone. For me, my partner and I video call on Zoom or Google Meets twice a day, in the morning and at night. We also watch movies and series together while we are on Zoom. We text a lot as well. Even though we are in different countries right now, we have regular visits. Both of us take turns traveling to see the other. Because of my work, I get a week off in October, 3 1/2 weeks off in December, 2 weeks off in Spring and 7 weeks off in the summer. We spend most of that time together. We sometimes travel on vacation together a well. He also visits me even when I'm working. This part can be tricky, because international flights are expensive, and 20+ hour journies are not fun. The jet lag is ROUGH, and it is always difficult to acclimate to an 10- or 11-hour time change (depending on daylight savings time). Although we can't be together for every holiday, we make sure we are together for Christmas and our birthdays. I also think you have to have an end game in the works. How will you end up together? Will one of you move to be with the other? If both partners are not equally committed, it will fizzle out. Physical touch is important in a relationship and it can be difficult not being able to reach out and touch your partner whenever you want. Make sure you're both all in before you do it. I hope it works out for you. Good luck!

Hi fabulous Crystal!


OT: Trying to order new vape pens, but the guy is not replying to my message.
