    Hm, the legendary grocery store "meet cute" has never happened to me.

    Of course, "a willingness to step out of your comfort zone" doesn't describe me very well. And these days most people are trying to be as quick and efficient as possible to limit their exposure time in the grocery store.

    Cases are so high where I am that I'm thinking about just doing delivery for the time being.
You've never been to MY (fruit and veggie) place.
It's chill.
And it's mild and filled with... well, it's filled with people who are looking for a place to play.
Yes it's strange here. The players, play with the avocados, or the bananas, or the whole wheat bread.

Avocados, and the women who patrol those lanes? Please...
.. come visit. I'll serve you Guacamole... 😊 With a smile and a vintage Brouilly that will twist your head.

Is there a smoother wine? Although, there are some who will claim its the au top for the uninformed and the ersjym

Hmm

What do you think
About Brouilly I mean❗😎👍

uninformed and the..
it seems like there were some typos there.
I don't know if you got my pov.
But I love that wine. So smooth.

    If I can not reach something I will ask for help. Kindness does go a long way. I have meet some that I was friendly with and they were rude.
I really wish, that I could be with every person I know, who's had a bad experience.
I wish I could educate THAT person and share with you, what I've learned.
I wish I could change the past and flip that other person's point of view.
We can't, can we?

It's different for everyone, isn't it? ðŸĪ”

I would love some guacamole and a glass of Brouilly. I hope you like your guac on the spicy side with a few minced jalapenos in there.

Btw you don't have to squeeze the avocados. I've heard tell that if you rub the little stem button and it's loose and wiggles back and forth, that means the avocado is ripe. Hmmm...could be a metaphor for something.

Spicy? Definitely! No limits.
... lol 😂
I've finally figured out how to manage those little guys - those green ones.
But I get on kicks where I'm into them, or not and I indulge daily. And then I get fed up. lol 😂
Do you ever flip on a food item? My latest is - pancakes ðŸĨž. Midnight runs of the perfect cake.
Re; See my main blog page picture and my invitation. lol 😂
Yes... Brouilly. Yep.. absolutely!
Ahh... you have me thinking about that liquid elixir.
You're bad! lol 😂 ðŸ˜Ū 🍷🍷😎

Perhaps, but that's not the point.

Lol. Yep. You're bad... in a good way. ❗❗😎🍷🍷

    No doubt.
    I understand.
    Especially since I researched - recently - those suckers, and figured out they have some serious value. Are they user friendly or what?
    Hmmm... anyway. I get your point.
    I'm not obsessed. I trip on them once in a while.
    Ya hafta catch them at the right time, dontcha?

    timing... it's life, isn't it? ðŸĪ”
Honestly, I have a bad habit of picking very good avocados and then letting them sit and rot.

Speaking to strangers is Not difficult. There are many ways to start a conversation regardless of where you may be. Timing is everything as well as how you approach them. While my walking my dog, I make the extra effort, to look people in the eye and say "Hello" or "Good Morning". Sadly, since Covid started, it seems people are afraid to talk to or acknowledge each other.

I guess it helps if your dog is friendly as well.
Pet owners always seem to be able to interact more easily. Nothing friendlier than a dog sniffing your butt, to help start a chat, right? ðŸ˜Ū ðŸĪ” 😂 ðŸ˜Ū

I am pretty outgoing so don’t need my dog as a prop to start conversations. Molly is gentle, sweet and super friendly and approaches just about anyone. She doesn’t sniff butts....she aims for other body parts which can be equally embarrassing 🙈 .

Ooo... She sounds sooo cute! 👍 😊
So, ya don't need props do ya? ðŸĪ”
Props are good, in closed environments, with the lights dimmed; or so I recall.
Well, keep on trucking and be safe; especially with that stupid bug 🐛 out there.

Have you ever posted a picture of your dog? Is she 18?ðŸ˜ķ

I'm really good at talking to strangers, but I absolutely hate it. My fake, upbeat personality takes over and I become charming and witty. It's not the real me, though...

Really? hmmm...
You are a great actress - here and there - and I understand, but I'm surprised. You paint another impression. And there's nothing wrong with that. I understand. âĪïļ

The ability to be someone who you're not, is of crazy value. Especially if you manage to excel at your job. And it sounds like you do.

I hated sales, when I first started and I had to stretch my limits.

Q? If you weren't doing what you do, what would you really LIKE to do? ðŸĪ”
Just a Q.
How's that sinus thingy? I hate when I get those!, ❗ðŸŒđ😊

It is all about timing in this case, as it is in life as a general rule, right?
Then again, if you're meeting ANYONE by the avocados, it's about patience. 👍❗❗😎
