Hmm...I just traveled 580 miles (1160 round trip) for a first time meet weekend. That would've been 18 hours of driving, but I flew, so 2 hours of driving (plus the 2 to get home) and an hours flight each way.
I almost went to Australia once to meet someone....then found out he was married.
I've been stood up before too, and I guess I expect the same treatment shown to me that I would show to others. But I guess that's expecting too much. If I had a date set up & something came up that caused me not to be able to be there, I'd be calling the person. About the only way I wouldn't be making the call is if I was the person in the accident or rushed to the hospital. But that's just me.
The guys that have stood me up were never heard from again....and I didn't make any effort to contact them.
I think it depends on the person you're meeting. So many of the men that I've met have been merely a handshake if even that. The last guy I met (this past weekend) was a hug, and then several kisses (& not on the cheek either)...lol
Sometimes I'm really bad at flirting, meaning I can flirt outrageously if I'm not careful...lol There's a guy here at work (one of the custodians) that I've been flirting with since school started in August. Hasn't done me a whole lot of good though...lol Things I would do are stationing myself at the office entrance to be able to say hi when he goes by....going up to the counter to talk to him instead of staying at my desk....searching him out when I need something....when he was working mornings for a week I called him on the cell phone just to say good morning (don't do that with the regular guy)....even asked him a couple times if he'd be interested in going out (never got a response either way)....and here recently even making sure that there's a smoothie set aside for him. Like I said, hasn't really worked much...lol
I think everyone flirts at some point. Of course, if I'm in a committed relationship the only person I'll flirt with is the person I'm in a relationship with. And I think continuing to flirt with that person helps to show that the interest & desire is still there.
Did she have the baby at Sharp Memorial or one of the other hospitals? Tell Lena to hang in there & that everything will be alright. One of the teachers at work just gave birth to her daughter on the 29th about 6 weeks early. So Lena's not alone.
(<== San Diego girl...lol Both my boys were born at Sharp. I was born at Balboa.)
I can relate to that...lol I'll just be in the twilight sleep hearing the cat "somewhere" in the room hacking....then when it's time to get up I'm trying to remember where I heard the sounds coming from...lol
I'm somewhere in the middle here. While my kids were around, I was careful about introducing them to anyone because I heard the feedback from whenever they visited their dad & the new step-mom, so I didn't want to cause any more stress for them.
Then, my kids were basically stolen from me by their dad. After making the adjustments (not completely sure I have sometimes)...I've decided that I don't want to give birth to another child, so that's been taken care of.
I'm not adverse to dating someone with kids, and have done it twice. The first one didn't work out so well because I was the one with rules, & when I brought it up he felt I didn't like his daughter. The second one would've worked pretty good because he was a pretty accepting kid, but things didn't work out between his dad & I.
If a guy has shown an interest & his profile mentions that he'd like to have kids, I'm up front & tell him that I won't be giving birth anytime in the future, but that I'm not adverse to adoption. Although the more I think about it & consider my age, the more I'm thinking maybe not...lol
I have an aunt & uncle who chose not to have kids. I don't think their lifestyle would have ever fit with kids. I think I'm more at that point where I'd rather be able to have just me & a mate (if I still had my kids I'd be at the empty nest point anyway...one's 23 & one's 18).
So I can see it from both ways...being accepting of someone with kids and being at the point where I'm done with them. I get my fill at work since I'm around Jr. High kids all day. Just sometimes wonder if I'll know when I've been made a grandma & if I'll ever see them.
Then get up, trip over a cat, head to the bathroom, then put slippers on and head through the kitchen to feed the cats, stop in the kitchen & take my vitamins & supplements...back to the bedroom & shower/get dressed...then breakfast...then finsh getting ready for work...grab my lunch & snacks & head out the door.
On weekends...I keep wondering why the cats DON'T sleep in....lol
16 & I started out as a cashier at Farrell's for $1.60 an hour. Graduated to waitress & running the zoo's around & making all those lovely announcements.....Ladies & Gentlemen may I have your attention please....lol

In strict and most common usage there is no real difference between a hot tub and a Jacuzzi. Both are used to describe tubs of hot water which use jets of forced air to produce currents and bubbles, either for therapeutic or strictly pleasurable purposes.
Jacuzzi is a brand name, and so strictly speaking describes only those hot tubs and spas manufactured by the Jacuzzi company. The Jacuzzi brothers immigrated to California from Italy in the early half of the 20th century, and according to the company's website were prolific inventors. Starting with aviation inventions, the Jacuzzi brothers moved into hydraulics, making great strides with the agricultural pump. In 1956 they invented a hydrotherapy pump for personal use. This pump, the J-300, was then sold to hospitals and schools.
In 1968, Roy Jacuzzi created the first whirlpool spa, which he called the Roman. The Roman was based on the hydrotherapeutic pumps of Roy's parents and grandparents, integrating them seamlessly into a standalone unit. Roy brought his invention around the country, capitalizing on a national obsession with cleanliness, and it became an overnight success — to such a point that within a few short decades the brand name has become virtually synonymous with the invention itself.
In colloquial use a hot tub is often seen as distinguished from a Jacuzzi or spa by its lack of jets. In this sense any hot bath or basin of water could be correctly referred to as a hot tub. More often, however, it is used specifically when discussing such things as wooden barrel hot tubs, often with wood-burning stoves or other alternative forms of heating.
This distinction does not hold up in industry discussions, and from the perspective of a strict definition, it is best to treat hot tub and Jacuzzi as mutually interchangeable words. Product literature, for example, refers often to "Jacuzzi hot tubs", giving the general product (hot tub) and the brand name. If we accept the definition of hot tub as being necessarily without jets, then the term Jacuzzi hot tub becomes an oxymoron.
