Hi Daryl!

 BM> DS>   That's true. There's a time and place for everything.
 BM>Cue up Charlie Rich's "Behind Closed Doors"!
 DS>   The first woman I was engaged to hated that song. She also

 DS> Thankfully, I broke off that engagement just before Christmas one

 DS> perspective.

Not liking the song (or a particular song, type of music, etc.) is fine;
telling to give up is too extreme, listening not in my presence probably
acceptable compromise.

As far as foresaking all hobbies, no.   Don't scatter all over the 
house, confine to a room I could see.

Most expensive restaurant -- red flag!!  Always pick up the tab -- sort
of old school.  Probably OK for initial dating but when more serious: 
getting into red flag territory as by then more of a share than woo.  
("Woo"?  I haven't used that word in years!)  Combine expensive 
restaurant with always picking up the tab and sounds like a freeloader 
issue.

Yes, sounds very smart to dump her.


(Oh ha-ha timing:  Pandora is playing a selection from James Last's  _The
Seduction_ album!)


 BM>You're just jealous because the Russell Terrier wasn't a Daryl Terrier! <g>
 DS>   I'll put the weiner dog in the car as a dash hound. <G> Or,
 DS> he's in my lap, but standing up...noting "Daddy handles the
 DS> pedals...I take care of the horn". <G>

Those could work!!


 BM> BM>Plus cookies are more portable: a little sloppy to eat a slice of piece
 BM> BM>on the go!
 BM> DS>   A slice of piece or pizza of cake?? :P
 BM>Give peas a chance!
 DS>   Or the meme with a picture of earth with that green vegetable
 DS> in the shape of the continents...you have World Peas (Peace). <G>

I thought that was when sticking them in a blender ==> whirled peas!
