Cold here today. Hit the -30s looking forward to later this week when we get back to above freezing.
 
You make a bloody great deal out of the fact that you're a Myers-Brigg "F". Doesn't mean you can't think, and it certainly doesn't absolve you of the responsibility to research the facts behind your feelings.

I do research at times Bette - when doing academic work, say, or preparing a sermon.
 
The rest of the time he feels his way ... in the dark?

A Christian without Levantine nature ... a lighter character than his heavy handed self ...
 
We've got weird Ontario winter weather today - freezing rain, now plain rain - and lots of it - to go back to freezing temperature overnight ... really, I'd rather have snow and sunshine!! Hoping the west coast is digging out ... let's throw another few logs on the fire in here!

Down here we just got rain, lots of it. Not too eager to see what happens when the temp drops back below 0.
 
Rain here in The 6, and cold weather. Our church Prayer Meeting was canceled last night due to the bad weather and fact that our parking lot was sheer ice.
 
It snowed yesterday (Mon - it's 1 am Wed now) quite a bit. Then today was slushy and coming home tonight was icey. I fell down crossing crosswalk on the main street as I left my bus stop. I slipped on ice right in the median, in the dark! A commercial maintenance van passed me and then did a u-turn, and the driver parked and gave me a hand. His coworker - possibly a relative, who was older than him - got out too and they were conversing in Spanish. The younger one, about my age, offered to walk me home. He was wearing grubb work clothes and work boots, had longish hair, five (maybe eight) o'clock shadow, and a ball cap on - looked a bit scraggly - but under the street light I noticed he was very attractive. Heart a flutter attractive! So, this hunky guy (is that ok to say?) is walking me home - it's about a block down an icey side street. As we are walking a woman comes out from a neighbouring house, toward her car, walks over and tells us she's just leaving a healing prayer group at "Jill's" house. I met "Jill" when I was walking home last week. She introduced herself and said to let her know if I ever need anything - in a very neighbourly way. Nothing about her Tues night prayer group. ...back to the story... So the woman talking to me and the hunky maintenance guy who just scraped me off the road, says that the Lord told her to stop and let me know about the prayer group. She said that there's still people there and I'm welcome to go. I said thanks anyway but I really should be getting home. A few steps down the road I joked with the guy, "Think I should go?". He said, "Totally, I think you should." And so I tell him...well, I don't actually believe they can heal my disability but it is nice to know people care." And he said he just thinks it's kind of cool, and interesting timing - he'd be curious but that's just the way he is. I agree but then tell him, also, that I really don't want to get suckered into anything. He can relate (Oh my God at this point I feel weak in the knees and not for the usual reasons).

We get to my landlord's driveway. I thank him and we tell each other our names - Pedro - and he says, "It was nice meeting you. I'm sorry it was under these circumstances. Be careful tomorrow morning. We're supposed to get more snow." I told him, "I can take it from here." And I let go of his arm.

He begins to walk back to his van. Instead of going around back to my little place - I suddenly decided to walk up to my landlord's door and go in and explain what happened. I didn't want him to know I lived by myself around the back or to walk me back there in the dark. He was so nice and he was very respectful to park and offer to walk me home instead of offering to drive me - which I am sure he knew would've been creepy for a woman. Why did I do that? I guess just being extra cautious - but on the other hand I wanted to ask for his phone number or email! I will probably never see him again. For all I know he's not even single. I'll never know.

I knocked on my landlord's door - they invited me in right away and I explained what happened, btw. What I wrote above seemed like I just walked right in. My point was that I went to their door instead of my own so the guy wouldn't know I live at the back.
 
:love: Oh my God. I'm pathetic. But it's been awhile since I felt a little crush coming on - since I don't know when - and off he went. Sorry the story didn't end better - but that was an unusual night. I've never been so happy to fall down in the middle of an icey crosswalk and be proslytized to by a stranger, all in the span of a few minutes.
 
Cares and cautions ... they get you in the end with chaos ... to be or not to be ... one or the other?

Oops ... wrong thread ... this string of though should have gone in the game line ...

Chaos of emotions or chaos of thought ... separated by a thin red line begging you to toe up with some balance ...

Life is like that often askew ... except for the absolute types that don't believe in shift and conversion syndrome ... it too has politic attached ...
 
Love it Kimmio! And, I would have done the same thing....gone to the landlord's door instead of my own. Sad that we can't really trust everyone, but we would be foolish if we did.

Good to hear that you're okay Kimmio, and you were wise in being extra-cautious.
