If somebody liked the guy enough to post a positive review, why would you think less of it if he doesn't acknowledge it? 

There are so many things wrong with paying a guy by check, from either viewpoint, that I won't try to go into it.  I paid by Venmo once.  Otherwise, always cash.

I have made small loans to friends and family.  I always insisted that they sign a note - and I always got repaid.   Once, my mother asked for a largish loan - to pay tuition for my brother and sister in private schools.  Since their state had perfectly good public schools - I told her "no," hard thing to do, but I knew I would never get repaid.

can't imagine it.

can't imagine it.

Of course it happens - i  know for a fact.

It seems like a Jewish deli could serve mac and cheese and keep kosher.

Not Jewish myself, but I worked for a kosher caterer.  Most of our jobs were at an affluent ortnodox synagogue in the suburbs.  They had a huge main kitchen that was ultra-kosher - actually two separate kitchens - meat and dairy.   But this synagogue was so big that they had a couple satellite kitchens - which were kosher enough - a single kitchen with meat on one side of the kitchen and dairy on the other side.  But the satellite kitchens weren't kosher enough for Passover - during Passover, they were closed and locked - nobody could go in them.

He's just about in contest shape. I never understood why he had no interest in competing.

In this part of the country - almost any supermarket has it.

It's great - sort of like arugula.

I have a good sense of time - I usually know, within 5 or 10 minutes or so,  what time it is.  I just know when I have about 15 minutes left on the clock - time enough to dress after a quick shower.  So. I'm the clockwatcher.

You really think you'll get any responses?  No one would want to admit to being a clockwatcher, but they also wouldn't want to raise a possible client's expectations.

Prior to meeting my husband, I had been in a few relationships that were all short-lived - the longest was a few months and I would characterize them all as flirtations or infatuations.  At some point, I diagnosed myself as having a classic gay man's fear of intimacy. Within 2 or 3 years after that I met my husband and we have been a couple for 32 years.
