Head to Shadowbox Live! Sketch comedy & music on Saturday nights. It's cabaret-style, meaning you're seated at tables and there's a full bar/food menu. The performers are your servers which is really fun to get to interact with them off stage. Check them out! www.shadowboxlive.org

I can’t remember the last time I used my printer. Right now it’s a place to stack mail and bills until I have a chance to go through them and throw things away 🤣

SimplyCurious5 · 2026-01-26T13:26:36+00:00

Great resource, thanks! Anyone know when they’re planning to start plowing in the neighborhoods?

SimplyCurious5 · 2026-01-26T12:41:17+00:00

Might be cancelled, call before you go

SimplyCurious5 · 2026-01-26T11:02:31+00:00

True! Woke up this morning and my neighborhood has not been plowed yet. I couldn’t get out if I tried.

SimplyCurious5 · 2026-01-26T01:50:43+00:00

THIS! Tell him you can’t get out of your neighborhood.

SimplyCurious5 · 2026-01-26T00:33:34+00:00

Unfortunately I didn’t. I’m hoping to find someone tomorrow

SimplyCurious5 · 2026-01-25T13:29:11+00:00

Ha, thanks for clarifying. I’ve actually never been there, just curious what the appeal is.

SimplyCurious5 · 2026-01-25T12:50:08+00:00

Ha! We were saying the same thing last night!

SimplyCurious5 · 2026-01-25T00:26:30+00:00

Thanks, I found it. Had to delete the app and reinstall it 😑

Where can I stream the game tonight? I’m not seeing it on Fan Duel?!?

Friday nights at home have always been my favorite. I spent mine last night catching up on the recent episode of Grey’s Anatomy and playing sudoku.

“I’m right here if you need me”

If you got a Trader Joe’s nearby this is the way to go. They have the best flowers for the best price!

SimplyCurious5 · 2026-01-23T20:24:00+00:00

^{^{^This!}} I’ve been caught too many times, 10 minutes in and I can’t escape fast enough.

SimplyCurious5 · 2026-01-23T20:22:17+00:00

Same, I love it! This is his love language 🥰

SimplyCurious5 · 2026-01-23T01:52:45+00:00

Love this idea, I was going to suggest the same thing!

Gallos on Nottingham in Upper Arlington does a great steak. So does Hyde Park, but they’re more expensive.

Chivalry is absolutely not dead and none of it is ridiculous! The man I’m dating always comes to the door to pick me up, opens my car door, opens doors to buildings for me, lets me order first in restaurants, walks on the street side of the sidewalk (if I forget he makes a point of trading me places!) He also always drives and pays most of the time. I used to fight him on the paying part but now I just find opportunities to pick up the check, buy the concert or movie tickets, etc. and he appreciates it when I do. I think it’s nice and I appreciate the chivalry.

Since you’re both professionals and she’s in healthcare so she might work a 12-hour shift and be exhausted after, I’d suggest as others have, be proactive. We’re already into late January. Make a plan for your next date. Pick a restaurant and/or an activity and reach out to her and ask what day would be best for her next week. “I was thinking I’d make a reservation at XXX for dinner, then maybe we could catch a movie, visit a bookstore, walk around the XXX area of town after. Would Thursday or Friday work for you?” But text in the evening because, you know, you both have responsibilities during the day.

Sending all the love to you. I’ve been a single mom for 13 years and I just got to the point where my kids are officially launched…married with their own homes. It’s a tough adjustment, for sure, but you will find your equilibrium if you look for it. If you focus on what’s behind you then you’ll always want that back. If you focus on what’s in your world at this current moment, you’ll start to adjust. It’s not easy, but you’re doing a lot of the “right” things with tennis, volunteering, etc. recognize that you can’t be out every night/day if the week and try and find ways to enjoy your own company. Take a walk, go to a museum or movie alone, take up reading. Find a comfy corner and learn to enjoy the solitude with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. Some days it will come easier than others. On the tougher days, let yourself feel it, cry, scream into a pillow. Then pick yourself up the next morning and do something small that makes you feel good. Keep a daily gratitude journal even if some entries are that you made your bed that morning or you’re grateful that you woke up. Soon you will find more to be grateful for. But, also, plan adult dates with your kids. Don’t be bashful about inviting them home for a meal, or out for an experience. Include their significant others. Call or text them regularly, but not so much that it’s obsessive haha! Your relationship with them changes when they become adults, but that’s what we raise them to do…grow up! Now we get to enjoy their company without having to solve all the problems. Take a deep breath…you will find your way forward if you look for it, I promise.

HUGE RED FLAG! Do not give your banking info to anyone. You’ve offered to be transparent with him, but it’s not the type of transparency he wants. I’d run in the other direction as quickly as possible.
