If we ever needed purrs

Sorrrieeeee, Never smoke them in public...NEVER. As I am now single, when
introduced to someone and we begin to talk about ourselves, it seems my
friends show up with a man in tow, If I know this is not a good match, I
bring out the humidor and when asked, tell them this is my own, that usually
ends the evening. Its not like I have one stuck in my face all the time. I
love the smell and wished someone around me smoked them.

What a good test! If he says "Really? Hmm...what have you got in
there? Do you prefer havanas? (I know so little about the esoteric art
of cigars that making this up is hard)" Then at least you have
something in common

I'm the same with pipe smoke as long as it;s a decent blend. My old
boss many years ago smoked both cherry and applewood blends and I only
have to smell them to be back in the staffroom at old HKL- some of my
happiest times

Yes, it is a test and I have a friend who says she hates to me get up and
pick up the humidor! I am leaning I like only about three or four kinds.

If anyone would ever say, Oh they are yours, it would at least get them a
second look. I am not holding out much hope around here. I know I am not
that special but, I will never change completely for anyone again. That may
be me being alone with the cats but, they are nicer than some people. At
least if I spill something, or run into something they never yell "watch
where you are going" knowing full well I can't!!

Any chance you could do any of this by yourself?

I've had almost 30 years of living with someone who doesn't like
socialising as much as I do and doesn't share some of my interests
(and has some of his own that I don't share) so I'm pretty good at
making time for myself and going out on my own

You need pals for hanging out with! People who like to go to the
movies or shows or just hang out to have a drink someplace besides
at home. No reason you have to do what you like by yourself all
the time.

Dave thought about going down the "Half Moon" for Sunday lunch for all
of 20 seconds then saw the get out clause. We'll need to get a cab
there and back so by the time we've paid transport costs and had lunch
that's twenty odd quid so wouldn't it make more sense to just stroll
up to the "Bells" after I have cooked lunch? Okay says I happening to
have some tasty ideas for pork chops....althought the sage and onion
mash was voted the highlight since neither of us can stand mustard
that much (I can tolerate Dijon mayo Dave can't stand mustard in any
form if the water from the fountain of youth had even a hint of
mustard he'd age naturally)

So then we get to, does he really need to wash his hair? Called his
bluff and said no even through it does need doing but I just know
he'll say it's too cold for him to do that and then go out.

We then graduated to walking round the block and then the pub, which
then became since the distance to the pub from here is about the same
as walking round the block let's go straight to the pub.

I've managed to use my ace "you wouldn't want to undo all the good
work Claus and Fiola have done would you?" and he agrees not so in
theory we are having a beer then he'll get changed and we'll go down
the "Bells" just for the one, you understand since we have to sit
outside. He's already saying he can't get his feet cold, they really
should have thought of that etc (and my suggestion he wear socks got a
reply about how sensitive his feet are he can't wear them). And it's
getting dark so the excuses should start coming soon- I'm waiting for
his ace"But you have to get ready for work tomorow", to which the
counter is "it's only five so if we really are only staying for one I
have plenty of time"

Hope to post after we get back or maybe from work tomorrow if we
really do have a good time just hope I am not posting in another half
hour or so to say "He ain't going out"

I'm just reading this 2 1/2 hours after you posted it. I don't see anything
later from you, so I'm hoping that is a good sign.

see a lot of it.

Certainly few from MY generation! Although I think the
younger ones are a bit more open - maybe it comes from
living together BEFORE marriage. (If either partner can
back out without a lot of legal hassle, it makes mutual
consideration of each other's priorities more common.)
