Well, time to start a new infomercial on dating...I, personally, think it should be hosted by BA with adult humor presented by wii. Everyone seems to be doing well and enjoying the fall season. It is a time of change and ridding ourselves of the thoughts and actions that keep holding us back!
On a whim I signed up for POF and figured, "What the heck?" I need some entertainment from the 'freaks' wii is touting lurk on there. Well, I'm being pleasantly surprised. There's an EMT/paramedic pursuing heavily and a few others. We'll see....but I couldn't let BA stand back and get all the action!

Does he really need to like Golf? How bout he doesn't likel to watch or play any sports? Maybe he likes CODII and wants the new Xbox1? Would he be out of the question? What if he is too tall or short? Or skinny? Hates reading and likes reruns of the Jersey Shore? What are your criterias?
I had some when I started dating. But one was very important. She needed to like physical touch. That was a must. The rest was negotiable. I picked one thing that I have lived without and wouldn't in a new R. So far so good.
Ps; I don't mean in a sexual way

Good for you! I'll live vicariously through you for the time being. The EMT sounds interesting... do tell!
I thought about doing it, but really can't. Mr. W. is back in travel mode so I'll have D16 for most of the rest of the year. Plus my work has me traveling to Pittsburgh soon and then it's the holidays. So I'm benched for the rest of the year.
Now we need BA's update on the hockey game with Marianne last night. Sorry the Caps lost, BA. But since my team is coming to play them tomorrow, I now have to hope they lose one more time. Sorry, I'm a homer now.

I agree, GG! For some reason, I'm much more inspired to make big and healthy changes in the fall than New Years. I like to enter the holidays in a better frame of mind, especially since December isn't exactly my happy month. I don't give any of the past any free rent anymore, but for some reason, I still feel the gray cloud above me until after 12/25. Then I feel better - particularly when I put all the decorations away and get my house back.
I got a boon this weekend - Mr. Wonderful called last night to say he's going to take D16 this weekend since his traveling is going to minimize his time with her and overload me. She's cheering at the football game this afternoon, so I'll leave work a little early to go cheer her on until he gets there. Who knows... I might just stay. D19 is playing in Michigan this weekend, but the only match that gets streamed for her team is early this afternoon. So I'll get to see that too. It's going to be a tough go for them.
Anyhoo, hope everyone enjoys the weekend!

I was married to someone who didn't like to do anything I did. Consequently, we developed separate lives and XH found someone else to do life with.
I'll compromise, but I would prefer to share most things with a partner.
Hey GG - Seeing you like at least 2 of my 3 favorite things (golfing and keeping fit) I'd love to give you a run for your money but unfortunately there are too many states between here and CO. Good luck on POF and with the EMT.
Now we need BA's update on the hockey game with Marianne last night. Sorry the Caps lost, BA. But since my team is coming to play them tomorrow, I now have to hope they lose one more time. Sorry, I'm a homer now.
Hey Betsey - well since you asked for an update, and full well knowing that the 2 X 4s are on the way here goes:
Last night (aside from the CAPs losing - grrr) was well, great. Marianne is a member of the Scarlett Club which held a pre-game celebration at a bar not far from the Verizon Center. Free food and drinks which was nice. We had non stop and easy flowing conversation all night long. There was a small but noticable amount of flirting thrown in (initially by her) just to make things interesting. The flirting could also just be due to our familiarity with each other as well. Either way, I had a good time and the fact that the CAPs lost was not a complete downer for the evening. Besides I got home in time to see the last three innings of the Detroit - Oakland game which was a nice way to end the evening.
As for my "dance card" - Barbara and I are getting together next week since we both have family in town this weekend. It is looking like that will happen on Thursday or Friday and I am very excited to see her again. Newbie Debbie and I are meeting up on Monday night. NA Jeanette is busy with her son visiting this week and I haven't heard from her in a couple of days. She told me before he arrived that she wanted to get together again after he returns to his dad in Tennessee. Of course if I don't get back on the payroll soon all of this dating may come to a screeching stop!
Oh and the way the CAPs are playing - I don't think your Avalanche has too much to worry about, but rest assured I will be rooting for the team in RED!
BA-I'm with Wii... Why would we be wielding 2x4s? As long as you are clear with expectations and desired outcomes, it all sounds good to me. And it all sounds grown up. Lol.
Ellie-if you're around, I need a doctor's input. Back in July, D16's neuro prescribed Onfi for her seizures (on top of the zonegran). She did this on request from the nephrologist, who asked for a med that didn't tax the kidneys. So, today I got a letter from CVS/Caremark, saying that we need to find another medication as Onfi is in short supply and they can't get more from the manufacturer.
I know there are cancer protocol meds in short supply, but not this. Do you know the reason behind it? I'm sure CVS would carry it if they could... Because my copay alone is $150 for a 3 month supply. No generic, as it's relatively new. I'll talk to the neuro on Monday, but thought I would ask you in the meantime. I'm not excited about weaning her down then off.... It's going to be rough. The nephrologist is going to be unhappy too.
Thanks for anything you can throw my way.
I just got home from a high school football game. (D16 is on the integrated cheer squad). It started out nice and then got windy and cold. I was hoping to take a walk tonight, but I'm too freezing to do that. I have a date with my bathtub instead. Then I can pull a Wii and say loving things to my face in the mirror... Because I have to be nice to the person I'm dating.
TTFN,
Betsey

So the date with Debbie did not happen last night. I guess she either had second thoughts, got cold feet or maybe she got lucky and found her "soul mate" this weekend. I had not heard back from her since last Wednesday when I sent her a second email with suggestions on where we might meet.
Instead I had the a great date with my lovely D15 at the CAPs hockey game last night. I surprised her with tickets to the game once she had completed all of her homework yesterday. We had a blast AND the CAPs won so it was a great evening.
I'm hoping for two positive things this week: 1) To actually have the government reopen so that I can go back to work; and 2) a date with Barbara on either Friday or Saturday.
But I'm really not touting lurk with anyone...it sounds pretty kinky though!
Good luck on POF and with the EMT.
