As an English teacher, this thread could be a great example of how to use metaphors. However, that might not be my best professional plan...
Mildly back on topic: I have far surpassed the almost daily treat. I was really up to three or four junk food excursion per day. I've gotten it down to one per day now. Sheesh I'm pathetic. Plus, I have an endless supply of Thai Food as DH is highly and regularly in favor of such an entree. So, I don't know what that all says about me.

I am laughing because I forgot what the topic actually was. Then I got my metaphors mixed & thought daily treats was the same as Thai Food. I was thinking wow the insatiable Chloe!

As long as you have the right size plate you can control the overeating of cheese and nuts, vodka I have no idea how to control that. Let me know when you find out.

So I both placed an order and texted HGG back. We made tentative plans for Sunday, so I was all like "YEAH BABY!" So of course my item isn't set to ship until July 21st. And I didn't keep track of the calendar, so I may not be able to partake in any Thai Food on Sunday. Why does God hate me? Who is HGG? I am getting so lost. If he's junk photo, shouldn't he be HJG . . . H for Hot or Huge, whichever makes more sense?

So confused I have enough trouble. Now I'll be suspicious of every guy who wants to meet for Thai food, offers me some water on a hike, offers to show me a platter at a buffet, to say nothing of wondering if I'm offering more than intended when I tell someone I'd like to place an order.

Yeah, but it also indicates that he is in it for...HIM! Not her at all, basically.
I never understood that. Being both a thinker and, well, not a jerk, I always believed things to be different. Instead of being like those guys, always trying to find...someone, I thought there was a better way. It's hard to find a new woman every time you go out, and the guys doing that are the ones who can't get the same woman again. I always thought it easier and better to get the same woman multiple times, and the best way to do that was to make them WANT to come back. Make it about her, and make it good for her, and you won't have to keep finding new ones. Pretty obvious to me....
Oh, please. This comes across as one of those guys who complains about how women are only into 'bad guys', and don't want a 'good guy who treats them nice'. Women want a guy who is confident, which all those 'bad guys' tend to be. While you're over in the corner thinking about what a nice guy you are because you're not pressuring her for anything, because she is going to eventually realize what an amazing guy you are, the 'bad guy' actually has the courage to talk to her, and that is the reason she is going home with him tonight. And this idea that women can't be satisfied with the cooking because not enough time was put into the meal preparation, some guys are able to do a terrific job and make an amazingly satisfying meal no matter how little preparation or forethought they give to the process. Sometimes, women are out there for the same reason you are, they want a meal that will satiate their hunger, they don't need a seven course dinner that has been meticulously planned for months to be satisfied. But please, tell us how you are 'different' because you take your time to bring out all the flavors in the food.

If you're going to do that, I may need to answer #103 first....

Annie Savoy looked a lot better saying that than you presumably do. Made more sense with it too.
