If that old guy had slapped me as a little kid and called me a cripple, he'd probably have to be scared for his life.(I think that would make my mother ferocious and have turned the debate to Vengeance: How far is too far?

it was bad; it might have been Latin.

flea, I think the metaphor is fine other than it's almost not a metaphor. But yeah, def the first that springs to mind.

No, I don't think it is a bad metaphor. It is probably better than using a "dating metaphor" which I have seen used in grantwriting presentations.
I would keep the metaphor light with some humor. That will probably win the day.

Oh and congrats on the retail therapy, Consuela. You've more than earned a splurge.
Thanks, Burrell! I admit I woke up thinking, "WTF! I spent more on those shoes than on my last pair of skis!" They are, however, really beautiful. I hope they're as comfortable as they claim...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, that.

YAY shoes! You totally deserve them, Consuela.

That reminds me--I got my state tax return yesterday! It's already spent, on last month's car repair credit card charge, but at least I can stop wondering if/how I could pay last month's car repair credit card charge!

Well, I am now boggled at the idea that anyone would think a dating metaphor was a good one for grant writing. I mean, yes, you need to find a good match, and, okay, I would be more likely to date people who can spell (but then, see my actual husband, who can't), and eventually you just go to a bad place which involves getting into a foundation's pants, and NO.
Edit: bad place, not bed place. Hellooo, Freud.
