You could buy (or borrow) one of those little "pussy magnet" dogs.;)

Holy crap, this thread took an interesting turn.:eek:

Hehe... anyhow, I do feel a lot better this morning. I think the key is time. Life is a long, long ride, don't rush anything and make hasty decisions. The break-up was a well thought-out process. Now that I'm past it I should take just as much time/effort to consider any doubts I have.

*sigh*

That, and to stop drinking in some feeble attempt to replace the emotional cloud with a drunken haze. That would probably help a little bit too. ;)

This is very good to hear!

I'm speaking from personal experience, so this might not apply, but The Great American Interstate is a wonderful cure. There is nothing like getting in the car and just driving someplace you've never been. I found that the road, time alone, and new sights were a much better escape than diving into a bottle.

That, and pulling into a Waffle House at some strange hour of the morning and refilling on coffee before continuing on the journey was oddly therapeutic. Mmm... pecan waffle.

Heh -- my long-time business idea, "Rent-a-Girl-Attracting-Puppy", might still take off.

Did you check for legs? Those aren't pecans.

My thoughts exactly. When i traveled the country, the Waffle House was by far the nastiest of all of the 24 hr joints going. Denny's looked like paradise in comparison.

There have been good WHs and bad ones and I know the moment I walk into a bad one, so I don't stick around. The problem: where else are you going to find decent coffee at two in the morning? Unless you are lucky enough to find a Flying J or Travel America, both of which I'm a little more concerned with the a WH, you're out of luck.

Tampa is a land of odd mixtures, as is a lot of Florida -- we have the Southern standby Waffle House, but we also have a smattering of Denny's scattered around. Specifically, though, we have few 24 hour joints which is always upsetting. Even Atlanta didn't have so many, so it has proven difficult to escape when you had something you needed to get off of your mind at a weird hour.

...but Riddil, that is what I suggest: get out and about. Staying at home is the absolute worst after any relationship turmoil.

WaWa Coffee is now available in the new 24 oz size ... (I think they are trying to directly compete with 7-11 in this respect. 7-11 has had the keg o' coffee for quite a few years now.)

WaWa doesn't really have anyplace to sit, hangout, peoplewatch and chat, though. This was on thing that I noticed about the 24-hour Dandy Marts on the way up by Fort Slang ... first that they have a seating area, in case you want to munch on your DandyDog and DandyPizza right there. The more astonishing thing, for me, was that there were ASHTRAYS. :eek: This made things a lot easier for the pair of CrazyGuys who typically sit there at 2am. Smoking. Inside. In a convenience store. I boggled.

I was very, very frightened to see that the new East Norriton SuperWaWa has SHOPPING CARTS.

If you need a shopping cart, you should be at the Genuardis.

WaWa is for stuff you can carry.

Elspode 01-10-2004 05:11 PM

Wa Wa's? They named this place after nitrous oxide cylinders?

lumberjim 01-10-2004 05:26 PM

i think it means "flying goose" in a Native American language...http://www.wawa.com/images/nav/nav-l...ntwawalogo.gif

note the logo

elSicomoro 01-10-2004 05:46 PM

From the company's website:

"Wawa" is a Lenni Lenape Indian word for the Canada Goose that was found in the Delaware Valley, that's why we use the goose on Wawa's corporate logo.
