I helped a woman put MO License Plates on her car today- WAS IT YOU???
At around 10 am today I was in the parking lot of the Missouri State License Bureau at Deer Creek Mall in St. Louis putting my new plates on and you asked me if it was only these two screws to put it on and I offered to help. You were very easy to talk to. I found out you were originally from Chicago and that you worked for the Kerry campaign in this same location, as did I.... I talked a little about myself as did you about yourself... the conversation we had was WAY to short and we parted only learning each others first names.

I deeply regret that I didn't ask if you wanted to go for coffee somewhere...

Maybe you read DU- maybe you'll see this post and reply. Maybe those that aren't you will give it a friendly kick for a while just in case you DO post at DU and happen to miss this post at first...

Dominic

Okay folks- I know this is purely a shot in the dark but maybe, just maybe she'll find this post and respond. Sidebar: anyone else ever dream of / or actually met someone really neat thru DU?

2. Well, I've met a bunch of people through DU
Like NSMA and Will Pitt and Flamingyouth and Jaysunb and Snow and GeminiJim and BeHereNow and myriad others. I responded really just to kick this up because I'm a hopeless romantic.

Something's Cominig



Could be!
Who knows?
There's something due any day;
I will know right away,
Soon as it shows.
It may come cannonballing down through the sky,
Gleam in its eye,
Bright as a rose!

Who knows?
It's only just out of reach,
Down the block, on a beach,
Under a tree.
I got a feeling there's a miracle due,
Gonna come true,
Coming to me!

Could it be? Yes, it could.
Something's coming, something good,
If I can wait!
Something's coming, I don't know what it is,
But it is
Gonna be great!

With a click, with a shock,
Phone'll jingle, door'll knock,
Open the latch!
Something's coming, don't know when, but it's soon;
Catch the moon,
One-handed catch!

Around the corner,
Or whistling down the river,
Come on, deliver
To me!
Will it be? Yes, it will.
Maybe just by holding still,
It'll be there!

Come on, something, come on in, don't be shy,
Meet a guy,
Pull up a chair!
The air is humming,
And something great is coming!
Who knows?
It's only just out of reach,
Down the block, on a beach,
Maybe tonight...

13. ok, that's it. It's meant to be.
I agree with the poster a little ways down. Take out a personal ad. And keep us posted, cuz a little fresh romance is good for everyone.
