That just doesn’t make any sense, to me. 🫤


Not at all, Dee. Honestly, I think you’re spot on. Knowing what you love and refusing to compromise on it isn’t a flaw, that’s self-awareness and self-respect. And the right person won’t see that as a problem, they’ll celebrate your passions right alongside you. I mean, or at least they should. Being single since 2000 just means you haven’t settled for less than you deserve, and I think that’s something to be proud of. You’re not the oddball at all. IMO, you’re the standard others should strive for.

Have you ever asked TKE Guy about his marriage with his ex, like, why they divorced or why he felt he wasn’t free to do the things he enjoyed?

I hope the two of you enjoyed the auto show, Dee. I remember the Charity Preview I’d go to each year. I had never been to an auto show before that. My date at the time, told me that people in the industry call it the “Auto Prom”. It sure did feel like it. It was SO glamorous and I swear, I felt like Cinderella each year I went.

It was such a magical event, and it was something I began to look forward to. Before that, the only “glamour” I associated with cars was when I finally got the floor mats clean in my own car without finding a random french fry, lol.


Yep, I couldn’t agree more. Trying to reason or have a conversation with Trump supporters is like arguing with a brick wall that also happens to be on fire. Their ignorance and cruelty go hand in hand, and frankly, I’d rather save my energy for people who actually have a heart and a brain. They are by far the dumbest people I have ever encountered in my entire life.


Yep. And my thoughts on that isn’t really directed to anyone, but giving up something you love for someone else is never the answer. Relationships should be about mutual respect and support, not sacrifice at the expense of your own happiness. And honestly, it goes both ways — it’s just as wrong to expect your partner to give up what they’re passionate about. Life’s too short to mold yourself into someone else’s ideal. I dunno, to me, love celebrates who you are, quirks and all, without conditions or compromises on the things that make you, you. Know what I mean?

Like, in my marriage, my husband and I both have our own passions, and neither of us would ever ask the other to give them up. He has his hobbies, and I have mine, and we respect and even encourage each other to pursue what makes us happy. I just think that’s how a partnership should work. I think it’s about lifting each other up, not forcing sacrifices. If someone expects you to give up something you love, that’s such a red flag, and it’s definitely not love.
I understand what you're saying about Trump but our very sad reality is that he's a former President and our President-elect so he's going to be at these things. I'm surprised he showed up.

TKEGuy and I have had a lot of talks about why past relationships didn't work out and where things went wrong. He's very introspective about these things. We also talk a lot about where we think we will have challenges and how we'll try to overcome them. It's very refreshing to be with someone who is so in touch with his feelings and thoughts.

I'm a person who has gone on vacations myself, gone to the movies by myself and gone to concerts, sports events and theater events by myself. I have no qualms about just going and doing what I want when I want. I know not everybody is comfortable doing that. I think TKEGuy has only done things when he has someone to do them with. We're a little different that way.
