It's 85°F (29°C) right now. It will get up to 99°F later today.

I hear some areas of the country have already gotten snow, while we're still sweltering down here.

 

[Kathryn]

It is currently 60 degrees and should get up to about 62. It's gorgeous outside.

Miserable and raining here, has been most of the day with a good chance of tomorrow being similar.

Ugh, I hate that for you. I really need to get up and get outside but I don't really want to.

My choice, stay in and rest by the nice warm fire or get cold and wet.

Tiz an easy choice

No easy choices here, unfortunately.

How about a loaf of bread?

After what happened last time?

Something desserty, typically English and boffo?!

They don't sell boffo in the UK.

I've always felt the word 'chemistry' described an abstract reason for two people making a connection.

I've always felt that "Yo baby. How you doin'?" can either initiate the chemistry or shut the reaction down entirely, depending on conditions.

If someone tries it on me, I will take note and let you know.

I'm entirely devastated to learn that one of the premier communities of the 21st Century finds itself boffo poor. Well, I've been there too.

I would think that as a woman, you know from experience, far more opening lines than I've ever imagined or attempted. I only use them humorously. I figure I might as well keep the humor going.

Well, that much is true. I've truly never had anyone say to me "Babe, how ya doin?" though.

 

[Dan From Smithville]

He sure was!

Recalling what you have said, I surmised that it might be.

It is a very nice story.

Thank you, and it is very true. I married him the next year!

An outlier I would think.

This is very true. I think my husband only said "Hello" or something else really innocuous. But it didn't matter. He could have said "The sky is falling" and I wouldn't have cared.

It sounds like you found something that many of us travel an entire life not finding. Something it sounds like you rightly cherish. I'm not jealous, but a bit envious.
