Well, Ellen, if I don't like Russell Stover's non-turtle chocolates,
and I hate pink teddy bears, I'm pretty certain I'd hate the gifts. 
And if the person giving them to me were giving them as a sign of
their lack of interest in actually pleasing me, well, I wouldn't be
too fond of them (though I reserve actual hatred for only a select
few, war criminals, people who like mayonnaise, you know, the real
scum of humanity.)

And that 'just wondering' doesn't fool me.  Ellen, I'm certain you're
a dedicated partner, but I don't do the whole long-distance thing. 
It's too much pressure on what is really just an ephemeral human
connection.  Please know that I am flattered.  (Also, given how mean
I've tried to be to you, somewhat intrigued by the implicit masochism
you reveal.  Naughty girl.)
