You never have to apologize for being downbeat. It's just as important a part of our emotional lives as the flipside.
It's also okay that you didn't take the extra step today. Maybe you will, maybe you won't. What's far more important is that you just let yourself be yourself. If someone isn't perceptive enough to see what you are, verbally assertive or not, then they're the one who's missing out.
Casual dating? Don't have a clue. Was never my style either.
Main St. Freeport was a completely different place until about 1982. Then the outlet stores starting moving in and by 87, it was a totally different place. My favorite places in that area now are Harraseeket (sp.) and Wolf's Neck Park. Way back when, my grandmother and great aunt and their brother owned a cottage on Bustin's Island. There was a little boat owned by a guy named Archie (his daughter runs it now)and he takes people out to Bustin's and others places nearby. I have very fond memories of that.
Baked apples have been around forever. It's probably more of a New England thing anyway. I haven't seen anyone do that since I moved away from home (1981) - I'm 40 now.
Are you in Maine now? Where?
It's freezing down here (by DC standards). The high tomorrow is going to be something like 27, which will be our coldest day so far this year. (Nothing like the -40 it was on Christmas Day in 1980 up in Vacationland).
I wish you peace of mind. Heck, for that matter, I wish myself peace of mind too.
