Darling, since our last meeting I’ve come across some more information.
Do you have anything new for me?

That very much depends on what sort of information it is, dear. I can give you just about anything your adroit mind can come up with if you’ve particularly interesting information with which to tempt me.
I haven’t had much need for you as of late, and if you’re going to bother me unnecessarily, well…
I’m sure you don’t want me to order Sebastian to take out the rubbish, as it were.

Oh darling Jim, I thought our relationship was past the hostile stage. No matter. Lets just say your dear Iceman didn’t learn well enough last time.
So tell me, is it worth your time or are there better games for us to play?

I suppose it’s piqued my interest enough…
The more important question here, my dear, is what, precisely, you’re looking to get in return for this information. Knowing you, it’s not going to be cheap.

You know me too well, love. - Although, fortunately for you it’s information this time.
Shall we meet at our normal spot, let’s say tomorrow around noon? I expect you’ll know exactly what I’m looking for in exchange.
Don’t be late.

I love your blog by the way, I think it's absolutely fantastic! I was wondering how you could persuade someone to stop smoking (without putting it too bluntly)? Every time I see my friend, I constantly smell tabacco on his breath and it's absolutely repulsive.
Well thank you, love. I’m flattered.
Concerning matters of your friend, are you trying to persuade him to stop because you find it repulsive to smell it on him, or because you think it’s bad for his health? Each situation has a different way to be handled and therefore I don’t want to answer until you clarify.
Please resubmit your question and I’ll be happy to help you.

how would you advise going about persuading someone to watch a TV show that you think they would enjoy and that they have said that they should watch?
I’m assuming you’re asking this because you really want a friend to fangirl/boy out with you?
Well, my dear, my best advice would be to try to subtly introduce it to them. Have it on when they come over, bring up insider jokes or references in conversation with them (as if you had no idea they hadn’t been watching the show). These small things will spark interest with your target and eventually they’ll want to watch an episode to see what the whole thing is about.
I hope that helps, love.

skeletree asked
What's the best way to persuade someone when it comes to political or other sensitive topics? I understand this would be a long process, but is there some kind of rough outline of recommended steps?
Darling, though I haven’t dabbled much in political standpoint schemes, I’ve had enough experience to know how they work and how their campaigns work. It’s not an easy road to take in that sense or any other sensitive topic, but if you have followed my guidelines thus far my next bit of advice is to play to their interests. Find what your target supports, or believes and find ways to connect their interest to the opposing party. Obviously you cannot blatantly put your objective in plain sight. Speak with them frequent enough to keep the matter in the front of their thoughts, but not so much that it takes over. It’s like a seed, you must plant it in good faith that it will grow and with a little nurturing that idea can grow into the flower of your choice.

Today’s J’s Birthday, and in honor of her support and hard work I thought a post might be nice to wish her all the best.
Much love, darling.
Blow out those candles for me and make a lovely wish.
IA xx.

Puzzles are those who need to know there is an answer, and that they can get it by pressing a few keys and clicking a few links if necessary.
The possibility of an impossibility: that is what I crave.
Although my medical knowledge is far more limited than Doctor Watson, I do believe the deceased have no need for nutritional satisfaction.
Other wise we are doing a large number of graveyards an injustice by not supplying them with restaurants.

Someone woke up grumpy today.
We obviously aren’t dead, so I’ll see you tonight if you can find me.
IA xx.
PS: Your clue is: My view is nothing compared without you in it.
Good luck.
