 That is, actually, the basal requirement in my standards when I'm considering
anybody for a relationship more than just casual passing friends.  I really
don't care where exactly a person is at as far as they're trying to get to some
place better, as a person.  Well, there are certainly some people trying to
better themselves that are in places where I wouldn't go with a ten foot pole,
but I'm sure you catch my gist.  ;)

 NB> As long as you get to it before she starts asking for feedback.... 

  Oh that happened well over a year ago, when I was still back in Minot,
actually.  I don't think she's going to ask for it again.  I'm getting my feet
wet in getting outside to take care of things I can't do in the apartment now,
at least, so I should be hitting that very soon.  Just as soon as I'm caught up
with my paper journaling, I suspect.

 NB> Sigh...  Probably no room to get a beanbag chair in there, for reading
 NB> and movie watching... ;)  

  Funny you should mention that...  My son had a bright pink one that he
absolutely loved for the longest time..  We just had to get rid of it because
one of the cats decided that it was too valuable of property to pass up.  There
actually is enough space for something like that, though.  It just requires
cleaning the bedding off of the futon and folding that up.  I hadn't really
thought about that, it's a good idea.  I'll see if I can't come up with
something or maybe find out how much a cheap beanbag may run.  I'm thinking
more for reading, but I do have some movies that I need to catch up on along
with my son, too.  Utilizing the space in that way brings a bunch of new
potential to the situation.

 NB> Now that's an idea....  or maybe go to the library...??

  Well I've got to go return some books from my son's account within 3 days
here, so that will be happening soon.  The coffee shop idea worked very nicely
for me today, though.  There's a place that I can walk to less than 4 blocks
away and I really like the atmosphere there.  I suspect I'll be spending more
time in that place soon.

 NB> No offense taken... I don't expect everyone to have the same perspective
 NB> as mine, but I also don't mind sharing my perspective... :)

  Ditto that.  :)

 NB> As long as you don't take offense at my being open with my faith, we
 NB> should be fine...  :)

  I enjoy discussion on all kinds of topics, and some of the ones that people
consider taboo can be some of the most interesting, when it's undertaken with
understanding, curiosity, and consideration.  Usually I have spotted the ones
that it's not safe to engage in discussion with on such topics quite a ways
away.  You seem safe to me.  :)

 NB> Yup... we don't even always do all that we are capable of even in our
 NB> not fully realized state.... with or without God...  :)

  Got that right.
  Moar soon.  :)
