Sushi place opened near the Grand Hotel. There's music and hopefully good sushi... Was thinking of going after I close up in an hour or so.

See, now I don't care for sushi at all but I would love to accompany you to the sushi bar just because. Who knows, you might even get me to try a bite.

Its not about what the activity is, its the company you keep.
My problem is there are many things I would do, with the right someone.

Its knowing where to look for that right someone that perplexes me.
Online date sites are just one way to find that person but they are fraught with their own problems and obstacles. Still better than doing nothing at all.

I've met a few very interesting women on dating sites.
Distance is a major factor for me, not by decision but by practicality.
However, I post this thread to hope some of those women I do find appealing might offer a suggestion on the venues they frequent in hopes to gain insight as to where I should look.

Maybe because theres only one true love in a lifetime?

:cry:

I have to refuse to believe that plus, since I am alone after having loved so passionately and deeply during my lifetime yet have yet to have the same given to me...

Hell, I'm due

That would be lovely Tom happy There's not a whole lot I like when it comes to sushi, but I do enjoy seared tuna over seaweed. And lobster rolls are pretty tasty.

I seldom go out, so am probably not very helpful as far as suggestions. I'm more of a home body, especially at night. I prefer to go do things during the day and curl up to a good movie at night. I wake up really early, so staying out late doesn't work well for me.

I love lobster, can easily break records at Red Lobster!
Last time I went I ate 4 lobster tails and a bunch of shrimp and scallops!
Dang, now I want some LOBSTER!

I seldom go out
You qualify without even trying!
I wake up really early
Does 3am, 5am, 7am, 9am and finally 11am qualify?
Problem is, I can't relax till my meds have me woosy round 2am if I take em at 9pm. Seeing way too many sunrises on yesterdays.

Edited because for some reason I type my when I mean me?

Do you have to take them at 9pm or can you take them earlier so you get woosy earlier?

I get up at 4:30am. I don't like getting ready for work right away, I like my coffee time and walk down to the lake for a few minutes... it's very peaceful early in the morning. Work starts at 6am and I close the Innkeepers window at 8pm, so going out means losing sleep and I tend to get a little cranky when that happens, lol.

Aww so sweet of you to ask...
flowerforyou
No, if I take them too early they have the wrong effect.
9pm is the earliest I can take them and still get a reasonable amount of sleep.
Its not normal restlessness its pain that wakes me.
Since drs will not give me any pain meds at all, I have to literally knock myself out to get any sleep that puts me in deep sleep. Even then, any noise wakes me. LOL, Alcohol helps me sleep longer periods but I ALWAYS pay for it for at least 2 days. But, sometimes its worth it.

I don't usually get cranky and never from lack of sleep.
I get short from the pain but since nobody is around, who knows?
I do have control of it most of the time, when it gets really bad, I have alcohol to numb me.
I do have a single codeine laced acetaminophen pill that I have kept just in case it gets too bad but its 5 years old.
I also have a doobie given to me by a woman I was dating 3 years ago.
Its in the same bottle as the codeine pill.
Haven't been worse than I can handle so haven't used either. One thing tho, my one son gave me one of his pot laced prescription brownies and all it dis was make me super-aware and that was bad...really bad. So, I doubt I'll be smoking that doobie for the pain, ever.

That sucks.. to always be in so much pain I mean.

I mostly get emotional when I'm sleep deprived... it's very annoying. I've come a long ways and have control over my emotions most of the time, but it's still a challenge when I'm overtired. The solution for me to is make sure I get enough rest. I guess I'm fortunate in that respect. Though sometimes it's nice to be able to stay up as late as I want... just end up suffering for it, as do the poor souls around me, lol.

I hope someday they find a solution that helps alleviate or eliminate your pain, with the least amount of side effects that end up causing more problems for you. flowerforyou

Aww don't worry about it, I don't.

My X was intolerable from lack of sleep.
I knew it and it did make a major difference in how I accepted her during those times.
While I might feel disappointed if I need to let someone get some sleep - I fully understand.
That understanding comes from a career of wacky work shifts.
So, if were out having a night and you tell me its time to go home cause you need some sleep, I might give you a pouty lip but I will fully understand and comply.

That's very sweet!

If we were to have a night out, I'd choose a night that I didn't have to work the next day. I can handle being overtired when I'm not working.

We would never really have a night out together. I wouldn't do that.
My restrictive lifestyle would be unfair to you. While we could enjoy each other's company, that would be the extent of it.

I am not alone simply because I am unable to find someone. I am alone because my conscious will not let me restrict someone else. Now, if you were retired or no longer working a career and already living near me, I'd love to show you me.

In my eyes, your sacrifice to be with me would be too great. I would feel like I was stealing you from something much better than I could offer you.
While it may sound like martyrdom, and it may be (in some twisted sense), The one for me will think I am everything she wants and needs, despite my restrictions.

Well that's very commendable Tom... But, I was talking about sacrificing a little sleep, not my life :angel: flowerforyou

If we lived closer, I would love to hang out as friends. Conversation and going to do something would be fun, I think. And I think you're right, the one for you will think you are everything she wants and needs... and I truly hope you find her someday or she finds you smile2

Please don't take this wrong.
I wasn't implying anything between us but I did entertain it for a sec because you would be a very nice addition to my life.
I was more or less (in my own limited way of expressing myself) trying to put out there that I am alone by choice.
I was trying (to put out there) that it will take someone very special to actually love me for me.
While I find it (personally) unlikely I do reserve hope that somewhere there is a woman that could love me as I am. Its the only reason I am even making an effort to show others who I am.
I am content in my life merely being alive (I shouldn't be) and I am hoping there is a woman that will cause me to rise above my contentment.
I can imagine you doing that, not from anything you have said to me but by your own online presence.
flowers
You possess many of the qualities in a woman that I seek. Not specifically but over-all. There are others like this as well. Some even here in M2 forums.
I know that if we were to meet, face to face, we would enjoy each other's company no matter what we did. Call it a sense or whatever you want. I just know that I would be thoroughly 'smitten' by your sense of presence.
I do understand that you may not feel the same and that's okay, I understand that.

I have the Final Destination movie series lined up for a binge watch.
Gunna have a cheeseburger on a pretzel bun and some french fries for supper.
I picked up some onion soup mix and some sour cream to make dip, have an assortment of chips to dip.

Gunna load up on ibuprofen and make up some fruity slushies (sans alcohol) to drink.

Being a mechanic all my life I know hand pain, its not fun.
Not looking forward to when Arthur strikes.
I hope its warming up for ya. Cold sux with hand pain.

Sounds like fun. And yes, cold just makes the pain worse. They're saying it's carpal tunnel.

I'm heading out for a walk alongside the lake and maybe stop for hot cocoa and listen to a little music. Then will probably come back and watch some sappy romantic comedy movie, lol
