I got his business card, and later mailed twice as much money back as he had given me, along with a thank you note. I'll bet he wasn't expecting it.

Can any of the gentleman here on the site who are "open to meeting women " give me some sort of an ...

Tomfoolery33 comments on Sep 5, 2018:

No, I can't. For several reasons--first, I'm way too old for you to be interested in me, so it wouldn't really matter, and second--I haven't been on a date since 1981 (married for 35 years) so I would have no idea what to do.

When the "spirit" is talking about the cold snowy weather, you say "I would have endured the indignity, of a chamber pot in a closet, then face the bitter cold." Shouldn't it have been " I would rather have endured the indignity of a chamber pot in a closet, than face the bitter cold." ? I know it's minor, but I tend to get picky about grammar.

A personal note here.
