No.
A date is 3 hours of talking about your pet hamster, KiKi, and awkward silences.
Eating dinner like birds, so the other person doesn't think you're a slob, when really you both want to shovel the steak down your throat, because you're starving......and all you had were breadsticks, so you want to get your $145 dollars worth...because no one is gonna take a doggybag home in the middle of a date.......
Then it ends.
What can l say, l'm a hopeless romantic. Dates are wonderful.

My dates usually consist of the guy telling me all about his problems and then sordid, "I-Really-Didn't-Need-to-Know-That" details about all the women who have ever wronged them (with the implication of, "You have a LOT to make up for, you know.")
Some people call them "dates". I tend to call them, "Therapy Sessions." As in, I'M going to need therapy in order to recover.
P.S. I still love McDonald's. I wouldn't mind at all if someone asked me to meet them there for a date... as long as he actually gave ME a chance to talk (I know, that's asking for trouble!)

Anybody miss me/us the tourists? Long story short. Remember that electrical popping sound that I had heard coming from the breaker box and even after the new box went in? Well here is the rest of the story as Paul Harvey would say....
May 26th Tuesday about 5 minutes before tourist was getting home from work the breaker box started popping and I kid you not it sounded just like a pop corn machine in a movie theater....Well I'm scared out of my wits and get the phone number for the electrician and call them to send someone out as this is an emergency come NOW!!!
I get off the phone with them and start walking to the front door and see smoke pouring out of the breaker box so get on the phone dial 911 for the fire department to come. Then outside to warn my 5 neighbors that are connected to me to get out of their houses mind you this is about 8PM and tourist is driving up right as I am going to warn the neighbors....I tell him what is going on and notice over by our trash dumpster where all the meter boxes are that it is sparking and flames are coming out of the meter area.....
Notified all the neighbors got them out of their houses and I am not sure how many fire trucks showed up but they were everywhere. Got the fire out, but we have been without power since then and living in a hotel just brought the notebook with us to the hotel today and looks like we won't be back in our townhouse until Monday or Tuesday.... We are safe the house/building did not catch on fire but out of 6 units our wires were melted and we have to be rewired.... The Home Owner Association is paying for it.... Thank and praise God for that as it is a very expensive ordeal...
Anyway we are o.k. and miss you guys...Please pray things go smoothly and we are back home soon....Thanks a bunch....Blond

Thanks Sky.....We could have put in all new breaker boxes and it would not have mattered they said it was a problem in the trough which is a big box right above the meters where all the wires for two buildings with 6 units each are stored. Evidently there was a short in there and we had a big rain storm and water must have leaked into the trough causing it to finally blow short out and catch on fire.....calling it an act of God but we all know who to blame for real....
I am just so glad that this thing will be over soon in the 4 places I have owned and called home this is the first one to ever have any popping sound to come from the breaker box. At least I know to tell someone to check all the way back to the line coming in from the electric company now should this ever happen again....although I bet it never will.....
