I wondered how you were faring down there in Ohio 😏
It use to look like this:
But now everything looks like this, for hundreds of miles.
I use to think homesteading would be fun but after 3 weeks of no running water and no sight of it being restored soon, I've completely changed my mind. Homesteading would suck.

The lady who answered the phone when I called in my take out order tonight called me Honey. Then she called me Honey in person when I came in. I love terms of endearment.
She sounds like any number of ladies I have come across when I lived in the south. It's very endearing. Bless her heart...
Southern folks were always my favorite to talk to when I worked various customer service telephone jobs. They always left you feeling better about the day and about life in general, even when they were calling because you shut off their phone because they forgot to pay their bill. It was always easy to say, "Sure, I'll get that turned right back on for ya!" All they had to do was call you sugar, hun, or sweetie.1 -

Like earlier this week I was shopping for new shoes and saw a girl with a fantastic color job on her hair. I was just walking past her and i thought to myself, "Wow she has gorgeous hair." I always kick myself after for not just saying it.
Tell her! Tell them all!!
But please don't wink, linger there or touch her. Random compliments from the opposite sex need to be obvious that they are genuine and not a form of foreplay
Roger that. I'll keep this in mind next time the situation arises

...but could you not
I mean this in the nicest most complimentary way possible, what could I do to make you like me less?
eat an onion like an apple
That oughta do it!
Sounds like 17 year old girl repellent to me0 -

I must be living under a rock! (Admittedly, I avoid the news cuz it depresses me). I live in Ohio (Cincinnati), but haven't heard about flooding in our state. Sorry you're going through all this - what area are you in?0 -

Speaking of living under a rock, i just learned that there’s a huge dinosaur dig like a few miles from me so 🤷🏼♀️1 -
I was trying to make a left turn into McD's across two lanes of busy traffic. A guy not only stopped in his lane to help me cross over, but watched traffic in the other lane for me to tell me when it was safe to turn. Thanks guy!3

LOL I knew someone would be confused by this, I do live in the midwest but not Ohio, she was messing with me. The last 2 pics are really real though and it's devasting. The bottom pic is a town 5 miles from me, where I lived until a few years ago. We moved to higher ground with the last threat of a devastating flood that never happened. I do still have tons of friends and family that live/d there though and have lost almost nearly everything they worked their whole lives for and it's heartbreaking. I complain about not having running water, due water treatment plant being inundated by 6+ feet of ecoli infested river water but I can deal with that, I couldn't deal with having to start completely over. Keep in mind that the treatment plant affected is 10+ miles from the river, that's how fierce this flood was. I wasn't exaggerating when I said this spans for 100's of miles.1 -

Sometimes i study random people to see what makes them uniquely beautiful. Like in an airport or something. And there’s always something. Everyone has their ‘thing’ that is so endearing and sexy and human. I have had to stop myself from telling strangers their thing that makes them beautiful to me. Maybe I shouldn’t. Maybe it’s worth the risk of a punch to the face for being creepy.
It’s worth it. Even if it’s awkward. Even if they don’t seem to receive it well. It’s worth it.
I’m still recovering from the last time I complimented you 😅😏
Well I'm still floating.
