@woodsmoke that would be the hope, faint as it might be...

@Hungry-panda

The grocery store.

If I was ever single again, and felt like dating, I would look there.

If you have enough skill to either ask some good food related questions or give advice on preparing dishes, you won't go hungry as she might feed you or you feed her.

Update to last post

My Wife saw the ENT yesterday, and he said all is good, no Cancer, come back in another year.

He explained, the Dentist (who suggested the follow-up) was probably not familiar with seeing the end results of the reconstructive surgery done for her Tonsil Cancer.

I guess now she can inform the Dentist, and hope it will get passed along to Colleagues.

There would be plant at the back fluffing up the bids for the middleman.

@Vermillion-Rx

He was.

@Vermillion-Rx

Mine has been gone 17 years.

He wasn't close, I chalk it up to his being tossed out of his home when he was 13 years old, which would have been 1941ish.

I don't know much about his story during those years, I do know he was self-reliant and everything I learned from him was more through osmosis than being given hands-on instruction.

He was selfless and spent his days helping others.

I'm grateful for having him as a Father and I still miss him.

@MentORPHEUS

Also Blue Collar, and retired.

I had a co-worker that transferred to a different department, who absolutely shamed the Company for one of the "Look How Wonderful We Are" series of pictures used as screensavers on our computers.

It showed a young Woman, resplendent in her pristine coveralls and hard hat, at the edge of a body of water, on one knee, foot just touching the water and examining a plant growing there.

She pointed out that their Standards/Policies/Procedures said that being within 25' of a body of water without wearing a PFD was a fireable offense.

@MentORPHEUS

I've long heard the sneering complaint that *Lingerie is demeaning and degrading to women and is a tool of men/patriarchy/misogyny etc ad nauseum.

Well... If you're not going to wear lingerie to try and make me feel more attracted to you, how about a plate of Linguine Alfredo?

@Bozza

Like many things, despite clear evidence of a problem, little or nothing will come of it unless it becomes far too large a problem to be ignored or it impacts the "important" people.

I don't like thinking that way, it's just something I have seen play out before.

@Typo-MAGAshiv

I do get the feeling that it's bait, but we'll see.

Or a Bot?
