Day 1 Query 1:Business Pro
This question is from Business Pro, who writes (with excellent grammar I might add):
I recently became acquainted with someone during stressful professional circumstances that happened to intersect with stressful professional circumstances of his own. We have since taken up business together, though not without reservations on his part, because we have very different (and, he believes, incompatible) ideals for where our mutual business should go. We interact well on a personal level, having now become very close friends, and I am sure that my romantic interest in him is reciprocated. However, I am unsure if doing so would be wise, given our difference in professional opinions. What do you recommend?OPEN TWO RIVAL COMPANIES AND BECOME KISMESES. IT WILL BE LIKE MAC DONALD AND THE BURGER KING - AN EPIC FOR THE AGES.

Day 1 Query 3: Feeling Touchy
OUR NEXT QUESTION WAS ACQUIRED WHEN IT TOOK THE FORM OF A PAPER PLANE AND HIT ME IN THE BACK OF MY gargantuan HEAD IN PHILOSOPHY:
Is there something wrong with me if I freak out when a relationship gets remotely touchy feely? In general, with friends and family, I love hugs and cuddling but in each relationship I had so far, I had a most negative reaction whenever they try to touch me, like even the arm around waist/shoulder. It did not end too well and I’m wondering if this just my own inexperience and it’s something I need to get over, as that’s what people told me so far. Thank you!
Signed, Feeling TouchyI DON’T sprinkles GET IT, BUT FROM THE LOOK ON LALONDE’S FACE SHE EITHER HAS A LOT TO SAY ABOUT THIS OR IS CONSTIPATED.
Your insight into the workings of my mind and bowels never ceases to amaze me, Vantas.
Regardless, there is indeed much to be said on the matter.

Day 1 Query 4: Diurnally Confused
That covers our announcements for the day, so let us continue with the queries, shall we?
I have pale feelings for somebody and they recipricate, but their Matesprit is quite jealous and thinks we may become flushed. This is totally not going to happen, but how can I reassure them that I only want this to be a Moirailship? Yours, Diurnally Confused
Ah The Classic Clashing Of Pale And Flushed Passions
One moment, what is about to occur may be relevant to my thesis. Allow me to fetch a notepad. -
Day 1 Query 5: Concupiscent Conundrum
Concupiscent Conundrum writes,
I have recently become acquainted with a woman, whom I believe is perhaps the most extraordinarily pitiful creature I have ever encountered. Unfortunately, she is presently my kismesis’s moirail. Disrupting my blackrom in such a potentially final manner is hardly something I desire, but I can’t get her out of my thinkpan. What should I do?THE ONLY THING WRONG WITH THIS SITUATION IS HOW SUCH A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY HAS MANAGED TO FLY OVER YOUR HEAD LIKE THE KING OF SQUAWK-BEASTS.
