He's not afraid to say what he thinks.

I wonder what he typically eats for breakfast and whether he is a coffee drinker?

Thanks, guys! I am starting to improve! So happy to finally be moving past it.




Hi Blondey! Yes, first Covid infection for both my mom and me. We both have other health factors that probably left us susceptible to a bit stronger case than most of the others on our cruise are reporting. But I'm just grateful that we are both starting to feel better. I was really worried about my mom. It's going to take her some time to recover.

Are you sure these are all American women you're talking to, and not Nigerian scammers posing as American women?

Really need the Whambulance today. My mom and I got Covid on our Disney cruise. We are both very sick and I'm really worried about her especially. Now I'm in New Orleans, but I've seen none of it because I'm quarantining in a hotel room. I have been sick for nearly a week and don't want to leave the bed. I feel like dookey.

I'd probably choose #1, if I knew them or was invested for some reason. But annonymously, if possible.

I no longer do number 3, because I've read that the vast majority of the donations go to overhead, rather then going to the actual people who need it. I'd rather see a need and help that person directly if I can. But I would try not get too close or too attached. I've learned that the hard way.

Procrastinating. I need to get ready and then pack. My mom and I are flying to Orlando this evening. Epcot tomorrow and then our Disney cruise on Saturday!

Happy Eid!

NTS: Do laundry!

I think it depends on how different the cultures are. I've been living internationally for the past ten years, and I've met a lot of intercultural couples. Most seem to be doing fine. The ones I knew who seemed to be most challenged were western women who married Muslim men. I refused to date at all in any of the countries I lived in because I was always suspicious they wanted me for my passport. 90-Day Fiance struck fear into my heart.

Thanks, River! Awesome that you've started walking. I doubt I could even make it that far. I'm going to Epcot on Friday and I seriously do not know how I'm going to walk around a theme park all day! But the good thing is that I'll be with my mom, and she will need to be in an electric scooter. So at least I know I won't be slowing her down!

Thinking it has been so nice visiting my daughters! They gave me a mother's necklace--a gold heart pendant to represent me and three silver hearts to represent them. It was a really sweet gift and I love it!

This one.

Thanks, Delightful!

Excited! I haven't seen my little toy pomeranian, Tinkerbell in a year. My daughter and I are going to take our doggies to a dog-friendly restaurant for lunch, then to the dog park today. I can't wait to see my Tinky!

Are we talking about Dom/Sub relationship?

I'm staying at a hotel in Virginia (visiting my daughters) and I just came back from the breakfast room. A man was chatting me up (innocently at first) and then he was definitely hitting on me. When he asked me if I'd be around for a few days I said no, I'm moving to a different hotel today. He asked which one and like a dork I told him. He said he might switch to that hotel too! Then he followed me to the elevator and we rode up together and it turns out his room is right next door to mine! I'm a little icked out and I can't wait to check out!

You both make good points. It's really difficult to know what Prigozhin is thinking. I'm wondering if he realizes that his soldiers are dying in Ukraine anyway, so if they're going to die, maybe they can make a difference for the people in their own country by taking a stand against Putin's regime? Or maybe he's hoping Putin will remove his military leaders and install himself in their place? That way they'd at least receive the weapons/ammo they need in fighting Ukraine. Who knows with this guy?

I'll bet! That's awesome that you are able to do so many things yourself, River. I would not even know how to do that stuff.




OT: Feeling a little icky. I've had a wee virus since before I left Kazakhstan.
