VIRTUAL DATE NIGHT

I married a unicorn.

at least you will be home by 11pm 😄

I'd love to hear about the driving class. The person that noticed I was sitting in the star's seat was the star himself. I jumped up, holding on to my cardigan and when it did come with me I tripped. He was so gracious and I quickly retreated into the crowd, lol. I wish that that had been the last time I exhibited a distinct lack of coordination but, well, I'll save those stories for later.
I am so impressed that you looked up strudel. I have a heritage that demands that holidays have the tables laden with food, and a good portion of that is baking. Strudel is one of those things that is best on the day it is made. I hope you have the chance to indulge.

I took refresher driving lessons. I was really nervous. The teacher got impatient and told me to start the car. There was a huge whirring sound and he looked at me with a "What are you doing?" look! He said, "That's not the brake! That's the gas!" He almost threw me out right then and there. Then he talked down to me like I didn't know the basics, like what a red light is.

It happens. Life would be boring if everything happened according to plan. Sometimes I stick my foot in my mouth when I open it.

Strudels are from Austria, according to Wikipedia. That reminds me. I was going to take a big solo trip to Europe this year. But the pandemic changed my plans. I really want to see the world. My restlessness is getting to me. But maybe in 2021. But who knows what will happen. Only the Lord does.

She is obviously a serious player. She is probably brushing up on bacon and egg pie recipes. I had a breakfast bacon and egg sandwich from Walmart this morning but i recommend that she bake from scratch.

haha shes married and hes taken
I do know shes a gambler though cos she tried to borrow money off him and he asked her what for and she said lotto tickets.

I have learned from observing others that if you complain too much about how hard it is to gain weight, you will earn the ire of a LOT of women... and some men too, though they won't be as vocal about it.

Very true good sir. Myself, I am a very visual thinker. When I pictured the idea of a putting myself out there, it felt like an audition. Then the scenario entered my mind and I had a bit of a giggle. I've done a little stage work, and with the glare of the lights you can't, for the most part, see the audience. I have, when I was doing background extra work for a show, accidentally sat in the wrong seat. It belonged to one of the actors. I was mortified so I tried to jump up and got pulled back by my cardigan, which had gotten stuck in the hinges. Oh yes, such a dignified moment, lol.
My philosophy is that life gives you great memories or great stories, so most of it is a win/win. I love humour and am comfortable in my own skin. Asking if someone would care to have a virtual date is a fair way out of my wheelhouse. For now I'm happy to celebrate, encourage, console and share thoughts with the good people I meet here. I've even learned how to make a great loaf of sourdough bread. Who can ask for more than that?

How did that go? Did anyone notice you were in the wrong seat? Or when your cardigan got stuck? You could say it was part of the act. They slid in a little bit of last minute script revisions to spice up the show.

Did I ever mention the time I learned how to drive? I don't think you can beat that in terms of embarassment. That was even when I was taking a refresher course since I hadn't driven in almost a decade.

Yep. You can learn new things all the time. I learned what a Strudel is. I was curious enough to read about it on Wikipedia. For some reason, I thought of it as those cinnamon things you put in the toaster.

Oh my, doing something like that would have had me so flustered I might throw myself out of the car, just kidding. You described it well. I can see his face. I also have the occasional bout of foot in mouth syndrome. Ah well, we mean only good things, yes?
I love traveling and some of my best stories come from walking right into things. Off and on for four years I traveled to Turkey and narrowly avoided all sorts of trouble but I loved it. I love the different cultures, food, art and music. Four days in I found myself on the rooftop of a carpet shop having a midnight bbq with Turks, Kurds and tourists. We overlooked the Blue Mosque and watched the birds fly around the minarets. I felt so alive. I think the best part of travel is you meet people bare faced. Here I might introduce myself by sharing what I did for work, where I go to church and then identify myself by mentioning my friends and family. When you travel, you see yourself as strangers see you. No credit or deficit is attached to your character other than what you behave and the attitude of your heart. They see you. On the rooftop talked about flying carpets, history, food and family. The men danced and the oldest person in the group was accorded the most respect. I learned so much from my time there.
I really miss traveling. I miss who I am when I have to face a new place or challenge. I've made friends for life and I'm so grateful for that.
I wish so much that you get your trip. If you are in Turkey, visiting Ephesus and Cappadocia, overwhelm you with the reality of the New Testament. Being in the underground cities was amazing. I hope you get to see and so much more, Lord willing.

Nowadays, my travel seems to be limited to driving to work and back and an occasional trip to the grocery store. I am well-traveled too but I don't seem to be getting anywhere.

I can't imagine retiring where I live now, unless I become a millionaire, or things drastically change.

You're keeping your life going. That's going somewhere.


Dollar goes a lot farther here in southwest Tennessee. And we still got plenty of room.

I stuck with it, and in the end, I got comfortable with driving. I'm so glad I did, because it makes life so much easier.

That sounds so lovely. I can picture it. It sounds magical. I've heard it's different in other cultures, and people aren't as attached to how much one makes or what they do. I've wondered what it'd be like to live among a different culture. I've been to Italy, and the UK briefly, but there are so many other places I want to go. There's an up-and-coming tech scene in Estonia, and I've thought of working there. If anything, I could retire someplace like there. The US dollar goes far there, and you can live quite comfortably in modest money (in terms of the conversion rate). I can't imagine retiring where I live now, unless I become a millionaire, or things drastically change.

I'd love to see the places in Turkey, and also Israel. I'd love to see the places written about in the Bible in person. It would make it all the more real. Just like a lot of movies felt more "real" after I visited New York.

VIRTURAL DATE NIGHT
CHRISTIAN CHAT ROMANTIC INVITATIONAL

Do you have that certain 'special one' prancing 'round your thoughts that resides in the CC Singles community? Now is your opportunity to invite this member for a virtual date, providing it’s consensual, and that the member is indeed single and not married. However, it may be acceptable to arrange a virtual double date night with a married couple. While we are all adults here there really is no need for an exhaustive list of do’s and don’ts but use your own discretion on the appropriate behavior that may or may occur.

Please be advised though that, like Vegas, what happens here stays here. Feel free to burst into song occasionally but try not to sing out of key. The guys may want to consider bringing a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates, preferably dark to set the mood and the tone for the evening.

NO RULES - JUST RIGHT

"Who knows how much further we'll go on?
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone.
I'll take my chances,
I forgot how nice romance is,
I haven't been there for the longest time."

Good song!

Covid Schmovid... A Virtual Date is just as good as a virtuous date... What could go wrong...
