Hi there! I love that you’re into painting and are a Sherlock Holmes fan. You seem like someone I’d love to connect with. Would you like to be friends?

[alexcat]

Sure!

[greghousesgf]

hi! I love Sherlock Holmes too, especially Jeremy Brett. You sound interesting, OK if I friend you?

[alexcat]

Sure. I love Brett's Sherlock... he is my benchmark Sherlock Holmes.

Hi! We have a lot of interests in common including mysteries! Would you like to be friends? :)

[alexcat]

Sure. :)

[pianogurl330]

Awesome! Adding you now!

[einhornmaedchen]

I hope you get to go to Germany! Whereabouts does your BF live (you don't have to say if you don't want to! I am just curious because I'm German myself :))?

[alexcat]

She lives in Essen. We've visited a couple of times and traveled to Munich, Berlin, Hamburg, Köln, and several other cites. We were going to spend 3 weeks with her and her family, but our flight got cancelled then things went wonky so we will try again in the spring I hope.

[einhornmaedchen]

I am definitely crossing my fingers that it'll work out for you.

[alexcat]

Oh, I see you're from Köln, too.

[einhornmaedchen]

Indeed :)

Finally, someone in my age group! You remind me that I didn't make black-eyed peas this year, which I know is weird for a Northern gal.

[alexcat]

Jimmy Buffett fan?

[desdemonaspace]

Yes! Although I'm not an actual Parrothead, I do enjoy him.

[vysila]

Ooh, sounds like we have a LOT in common. Would love to do a mutual add. (My post is on p3 if you want to check me out first.)

[alexcat]

We do have a great deal in common and you sound like fun! Let's go for it.

[vysila]

Excellent!
