This week is all about saying nice things. Compliments are a great way to break the ice and I can’t say enough how hearing one from a nice woman is near and dear to my heart. But be mindful of what compliments you deal out. And my thanks to my absent co-host Cat for being a partial inspiration for this episode!

Put simply, avoid compliments about what someone is, an intrinsic feature of their body, and focus on compliments which are about what they have or choose. Nobody, after all, wants to be a sexual object, and there’s no greater compliment than one about the person inside the body you may desire. After all, I can’t help my nose from being my nose. Whether it be a pair of boots, a tattoo you have, or a pin you’re wearing.

After all, if you tell me you like Doctor Who, you’re in. And if you tell me you like Firefly or MST3K, you’re very in because those shows are no longer being even made as they were. And please don’t hate on me because of Joss Whedon; I don’t support his actions any more than as a Tesla driver I support Elon Musk. I just like the show; I just like the car.

In any case, I hope you all are well, because… you are all wonderful people my intrepid readers. I can’t compliment y’all enough!
