I happened upon this thread and read all the messages. As I got near the end, I saw the inevitable baring of teeth and snide remarks. I was very active on this site until a few years ago. I got tired of the "drama" that seemed to be everywhere.
I published one story in 2013. I have no idea who the editor was. But, there was a lot of back and forth to fix things. I decided to submit a second but got fed up. Why? It was explained to me that OK was unacceptable. I had to write out okay. That's the one that has stuck to me like super glue. But what was infuriating, was, reading numerous stories with OK. In addition, more stories than I could count with innumerable typos and outright spelling as well as grammatical errors.
I decided that it wasn't worth the frustration and annoyance to bother trying to fix that story, nor to submit another.
Happy Birthday. You have a great partner. I'm not here very often, but I'm glad I was here today to be able to get Lilly's message.
Everything that's been said is excellent advice. The issue is going to be to get your friend to follow it. Tigger, I know that you have probably said many, if not all, of these things to your friend. It seems that she's already made up her mind to take the trip. This despite your concerns regarding this person's unwillingness to vchat with you. Maybe you could try being party to a chat. But I'm thinking "Stranger Danger", "Stranger Danger".
If this is an international trip, then I'd really be worried. Maybe it's the prospect of visiting somewhere new and exciting that is putting blinders in place despite the warnings. That said, if she does follow the various suggestions listed above hopefully, she'll have a wonderful, safe trip.
Happy Birthday to the biggest "short" person I know
Perhaps the opportunity for the three of us to share drinks and then...who knows...
I'll buy you a drink Curious. All the good scotch is gone though..
After savouring a single malt almost as old as Amy, we'll fuck the night away.
The feeling is mutual Grace.
Going Private improves the chances of doing more once you get to know one another better.
Drinks on a date with Mrs G works for me. Fucking Mrs G is the bonus.
Option 3 is the only option.
I'd love to get to know Reese better. And perhaps, be honored with one of her invitations.
Drinks if she's interested.
Drinks is all it'll be Chaz.
