Lisa - if you're not wanting any of the lip action, by all means use the suggestion of closer to the highway, of course, if you choose to take lunch at his house... well, you never know.

Can someone remind me of the name of the author of the outlander series?
KT

Sorry I don't have time to respond to everyone but....

Belle - sorry your back is bothering you so much. I hope the physio helps.

Lisa - if you aren't ready to play tonsil hockey do exactly as you were thinking. That's a great way to handle the situation.

I'm so glad the work day is almost over...I need a nap!

Lisa, I would most definitely keep it at a restaurant...that way there's no hurt feelings risked and, even though he's a friend of a friend and the nicest guy ever, you just never know. You could use the highway excuse, and also say that you think he'd be more relaxed if he's not worried about cooking.

Cat, isn't it awesome when you actually NEED a belt to hold your pants up, rather than just putting one on because there are loops?

Tonya -- I'm laughing so hard that you went to a strip club. I just went to my first a few months ago -- my father-in-law and his wife (on the night they got married, no less!) took my husband aside and told him it was time I went...what an education it was! How on earth do they move like that???:o

Belle, what a bummer that you have to go to WW alone now. But at least, when you're thinking about giving up, you can think of how she looked with some of her weight back on, and let that be a motivator. She'll come back when her pants get too tight again, I'd be willing to bet.

KT, I'll give you something to read in your time zone! I'll even give you a morphing troll doll or two to keep you awake. I tried a veggie burger from Burger King once...I may have had a bad experience if you think they're good. I think that half the problem was that I was eating it as I drove, and I couldn't see what I was getting -- just feeling these odd bits of vegetation in my mouth here adn there. It was strange. Ok, here's your morphing troll dolls. :fr: :fr:

Jen, I'm so sorry to hear about you and the boy. I think it's natural to get emotional when a part of our life that we really enjoyed is over. Even if we knew it wouldn't last forever, and we didn't necessarily want it to. Let yourself be sad for a while, because then you'll be even readier for Mr. Right when he happens along. And when you're done being sad, here's a little pick-me-up for you.:D

Jess and PJ -- get back to work! (Imagine this said in my best teacher voice as I shake my finger at you...)

Everyone else, have a good night!
