Quote: Another way to do this is to go to the Mall if you have one nearby,
There is a one-room-school-house about 3 miles from here. Will that do? Just being a smart a$$ BF. Someone from the east asked me if we had a McDonalds store here. I said no, but the stage comes through twice a week now.
No, the mall is many miles away, but I get your point; walking and together and hopefully talking about something where we make a connection.
New test; old test? BB again said she wants to "look at" a car she saw advertised in the paper. I said I will "look at" but not with the intention of ever buying anything.
Well, I looked and she wanted. No surprise, right? BB sees it as saving $8,000 (rental or off lease car) and I see it as spending $21,000 for someone that drives 3,000 or less miles a year. BB's current small suv has 39,000 miles on it. It had 35,000 on it when she got it almost 1.5 year ago.
We got home and I said to BB, "you seem distant." There was no response so I said I was going to paint the stairs to the deck.
Not the evening I had planned but I am not getting involved in anymore retail therapy. Some of BB's relatives live for retail therapy, so I am in the minority sometimes/manytimes.
