Mine gets lost under the sofa. The skirting around it doesn't seem to stop it when going under but becomes a massive obstacle when trying to get out. It will wanders around under it (which is good because it usually is a good thing to clean up), but then starts to whine before it just shuts down. Worse than a little kid.

Today it's been dramatic. It got stuck in the keyboard bench again and was like "Put me on a flat surface". Then my mother came down and turned off all the lights (which I've told her not to do because it's for the vacuum...Lord knows I turn off the lights) and it got stuck under the TV stand and was like "I can't make it back to the dock." Dramatic thing.

It's true! I met my husband on the internet....today, I would not dare to do this, but back then, internet was rather new, and there weren't a whole lot of internet dating sites. (I didn't meet him on a dating site) But now, with all those sites and people catfishing, it's no longer safe. Back when we got together, it was rare that people fell in love with someone they met online. It was relatively safe. I still took precautions like meeting in public places, etc. But I don't think you can even be vigilent enough these days because there are so many people actively looking for vulnerable people. It's not just meeting someone and having a lot in common and meeting up. It's people PRETENDING to have a lot in common with you to lure you in. Internet is a predator's paradise! Back when I met my husband, it was just as likely that you would meet a creep on the street than that the person on the internet was a creep. I've been harassed many times by creepy guys who happened to be in the same place I was. But now, all those creeps can act anonymously online without anyone noticing their behavior. It's easy to hide. And new technology breeds new scams and new ways for predators to access victims. It's pretty scary.

I do know a few people who have met online and gotten together. My longtime bestie's brother met his wife online.

I don't personally do online dating, but I think you just have to be careful. Most people I know meet in a public place, drive themselves or take an Uber, and have someone on standby who can get them out of there if needed. Longtime bestie did it for a while before she met her husband (she met him in college, though). Some dating sites are also better than others (like the one that begins in T and ends in Inder...yeah, that one isn't great).

I'm on a couple of Hersheypark FB groups that do meetup, and I'd be fine with doing that. I've met a few of the people on there in the park, just randomly bumping into them. I've seen them do a couple of meetups for autistic HP season passholders, which I would love to take my brother to, but they've always fallen on days when I have to work, which is unfortunate.

Shortly after my divorce I met a lady via the internet and we met at a bagel shop. (you know, public and all). We did a couple of things together then she told me about the 12 parrots she had and then gave me a web site for her spiritual leader who was some dirty looking dude with long greasy hair and preached the gospel of song birds or something quite similar. At that point I decided to get out of dodge. I just got out of a relationship with a person with mental illness, I was not going to dive back in at that point. No point actually, I do seem to attract them though. At least that is what my son in laws tell me.

I absolutely loved the movie. I don't get to NY often (twice in my lifetime) and there are a few but NC is still to redneck to support most Broadway stuff.

I'm surprised Charlotte can't support the touring productions. Hershey has a theater that can support some of the touring shows. Mamma Mia is stopping up there in early April, then going to Baltimore. Trying to decide if I feel like driving up there for it because it's cheaper. 😂

In Durham NC, The Lion King is in May for a few nights at the Arts Center. Ticket brokers are selling best seats for $800 per seat.

That makes a football game and concert seats selling for thousands look like a bargain.

I've read on different websites that football games have 11 or 18 minutes of action a game much like baseball.
