1. The weekly Sunday protest at Nichols Fountain in the Plaza.
Let's see if your post sparks something else.

2. Can't do Sunday mornings.
If I have the day off I attend church. The kid loves her Sunday School.

Let's see what else we have.

4. Then it might be a possibility.
Just depends on how the kid is acting that day.

Sometimes I deserve it!

23. Probably just trying to keep her job.
My best friend used to be the biggest partier ever until she became a teacher. Now she's quieter but still has some great stories that she doesn't want getting back to her students.

And it sounds like you both have longer records than I do.

29. That's right.
I just had to submit to a background check because of one of our clients. I don't think it's personal.

31. Two background checks in the past week for me.
Different prospective jobs.

The dispatch job in the past was the longest one I've ever had done on me. 20 year background-they would have gone even farther if I had been much older at the time.

13. No babysitter now.
Might be able to do a midafternoon meet-up on Saturday if you don't mind a five year old tagging along!

Lunch? Girl Scouts Thinking Day in Wsbg ends around 11 am. We'll say, time to change out of uniforms, gas up and leave town would be around 11:30. Traffic, blah, blah-1 pm to KC.

Any ideas?

15. I'm pretty flexible on Saturday.
I need to look at an apartment with evlspwn, but I should be able to manage that by early afternoon.
What kind of food do you like?

19. I like almost everything
and am quite willing to try something new.

Callie is the same way,especially if she can get fresh fruit.

21. There are a lot of options in midtown.
And if you guys ditch me, I'll at least be close to home.

22. Callie will stare for a minute
then settle down. She is in awe of tall men but warms up quickly. And she likes to walk so you won't be left alone by her.

28. And I'm looking forward to meeting you.
She will warm up quickly. Ask her about bowling-she's just finishing up her lessons this next week. Turns out she's pretty good-4 spares and 3 strikes the other night and only one of the spares used the bumpers.

32. She's better than I am too.
The girls bowling team at CMSU is holding the classes and her coach was pretty impressed. She wants me to enroll my daughter in the summer camp "to hone her skills".

She loved it because they gave her a nickname-Rocket.

36. She might laugh about it.
She liked it the other night. They called her that because she has power and speed in her throw or toss or whateverthehell they call it.

Don't worry about the kid. I have experience. We can ditch evl if he is mean to her.

That's not to say I won't scare her anyway.
Hey, I raised two kids, and they're not in jail or dead yet.

20. Replied to pm.
And I'm not too worried-she's a brave kid but might take a minute to warm up.
