I had lunch with a nice lady I know today. It was understood that it was not a date. Yeah, it is true that I should be more geared at this point to have more female friends without other entanglements. It makes my life brighter. I actually do believe in the concept in Just Friends. In the past I was in a terrible desperate frame of mind because nobody would communicate. And for sure, things are getting better.

I enjoyed your post -- a positive thing to read.

I don't need one more sugar fix, but maybe it will help with my sad) grieving heart....$15...

    I know this is stupid, but after not being able to find a job after graduation for almost two years, I ended up just taking an online teaching job because I couldn't find anything in my field. I was trying to get out of teaching and I feel so devastated. I felt this crushing feeling when I signed the paperwork and when I was in the meetings. I know that sounds so dramatic but it is how I felt. It...
