38. Well then, I'm glad I have this chance to clear up this interaction...

I'm a Doctor Who fan; especially the newer reboot (although I watched the older versions as a kid with my older brother).

My avatar is of a Doctor Who character named River Song. She is wearing the spacesuit when she first crosses The Doctor's timeline on the new show, and although she knows him (intimately) from times they have been together in her past (revealed later that they were married) he doesn't recognize her at all because in his own timeline he hasn't yet met her. Her standard greeting each time she sees him is "Hello Sweetie....."

I'm sorry to hear you're only in your late twenties but have experienced the loss of a spouse; that's a hard one. I hope time and life will again bring you happiness.

Yes, American women can be pretty forward. Although I come from British stock so I also understand "proper reserve in one's emotions", lol. The wink was about you 'getting' the Doctor Who signature line, to illustrate a private joke that not many at DU get. I just assumed everyone in the UK was a Doctor Who fan.

Nope. No flirting here. I'm in my early sixties and found the love of my life at age 43. Another Anglophile (both of us fall into that category because The Beatles exploded into our teen years and we haven't stopped loving Great Britain ever since). Dear husband has actually been to London as a guest of singer Lisa Stansfield after he created and managed her website for several years. And we both attended the US premiere of her film Swing, meeting both Lisa and Huge Speer.

Check it out if you haven't seen it, it's a lot of fun (or rather, I should say, it's brilliant!):


Anyway, I'm glad I was able to clear things up.
You're safe with me.
Now off you go!
