I've also met up with Meghn and Imawino. I'm still here and OK. You were sooooooooo lucky that Meg was there. Everyone gets lucky when Megh's around! As far as trusting people you meet online, Im marrying a guy i met on Craigslist and i had a serious margarita buzz when we met. At a bar. And i took him home.

Oh well, now you two have something to bond with DH over when you someday do meet him. You can all giggle at my directional inadequacies. It's one of his favorite sports.

I don't know how well you "knew" each other before you got together, but no, I would not be comfortable meeting people that I "met" on-line by myselfHow well do you ever really know anyone? Yes, online people could turn out to be crazies. But so could anyone in your general vicinity, or one of your friends. ...while some of us are deemed one of "the crazies" right here online...

Three hours?? Come on. Unless you guys drive like old ladies it's not that far. I don't think. I'm not sure where you are near that place that you live, which I'm not sure you'd be comfortable with me sharing, but it should be a two-ish hour drive tops. Unless traffic is bad.

I thought you guys were in the east bay? We are, which is why I thought driving to a town near San Jose would be no big deal - that's only about 30 miles away

Yeah I just checked GoogleMaps and it's only about 60 miles away... WTF? GPS said more GPS lied I think.

Look, the point here is that Dark is stranger danger and no one should meet him alone because it's bad to have friends of the opposite sex. Okay?

Not through the middle of San Jose on a weekend. It shouldn't be three hours though. Unless you have drive by an accident where somebody died.

I already told you, the voices in my head get a lot quieter when I drink... less angry too. Usually. Absinthe makes the bad things happen, but since I've started avoiding that I'm mostly harmless.

It's a good thing you're pretty. I know I'm probably the only one who has seen her recently, but she's freakin' ADORABLE with her oh so round belly. But remember, she gets to claim pregnancy brain for any dumb stuff she says for the next 6 weeks (more or less, she hopes less), and then she gets to claim new mommy brain...

Firebird shanendoah Unfortunately, preggo brain can't save me on this one. I was simply born without the part of the brain that tells you the difference between north and south, Kentucky and Nebraska, up and down, etc... DH says I'm too dependent on GPS but he doesn't understand what my life was like without it. I got lost going to the grocery store!

Alright- I have worked 6 hours. I'm going home. Roommie should be home. DH should not be. DH should also not be worried.

I always say, if you want to kill me and make it look like an accident, just drop me off in the middle of a desert with a town 1 mile away and another town 100 miles away. Guaranteed, I'll find a way to start heading toward the town 100 miles away and I will die of thirst.

No one I work with has ever had their reputation questioned for having a closed door meeting, but refusing to close the door due to gender would ruin my reputation as a grown woman and a professional in a heartbeat. Frankly, I can't imagine a scenario where two coworkers working alone in an office with the door closed would be cause for concern to anyone. Most of our conference rooms DO have glass walls, but not the offices themselves. And if you just need to have a ten minute chat with someone to follow up on an interview candidate, you're not going to go find a conference room every single time. It's simply not practical. I have an opposite sex co-worker that will open the door if I close it while discussing personnel matters. I find it very strange. I assumed he was worried about what other co-workers would say but now I wonder if he has some strange agreement with his wife. I don't give a flying flip about old pictures. Past relationships are over as far as I'm concerned. If I am going to step out on DH it will be with someone new. DH accused me of destroying pics in his picture album from college. He was very angry and did not believe me that I did not do it. I just don't care. I told him that was his hangup not mine and since I don't care, I would not bother to destroy his pictures.

I'm meeting POM in November in Orlando. If you never hear from me again, she did it!
