"nobody should be able to graduate from this program unless they can make a dripless teapot" and it kinda stuck with me. Teapots are one of those challenges---you have a lot of elements to coordinate properly. BUT as you know they also represent a chance to get whimsical. The whole Mad Hatter's tea party sort of thing---teapots can be ANYTHING. Even a pink cow.
Oh, and that same GF, the influential one? One day we were walking down the street in Chicago and bumped into an aquaintance of mine who is all friendly and cheerful and the GF sez:
"I bet she is the one who becomes the next Mrs Rith". And a month later GF and I broke up, 6 months later me and the aquaintance started to date and were married ten months after that and here we are :)

Such a cute story Gary!!!
So, are your pots dripless???
great story. the GH definitely sensed the strong attraction between you too. and what's so cool about it is it hasn't gone away.
i would say pretty much dripless in general :)
that's a pretty amazing story... you must've been throwing out some strong vibes if she was able to know that just from witnessing a conversation
Isn't fate nice when it works the way you want it to? Very nice story, and beautimus teapot and tiny teapot. :)
Great story, and nice teapot. What do you do to make them dripless?
What a lovely story with a happy ending! Yay!
what do I do? I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you.....
Great little story!
Hmmm, Pink Cow, eh? ;-)
You know -that was a profound statement, actually both of them were. How funny that she predicted the future Mrs. Potter.
Must have been those teapot pheromones... Love the teapot with the mini me on top!!
That's great! Great story.
You know what I think you should do one day? I'll tell you what I think!
I think you should have Maude guest post on your blog. Special Feature, Maude blogs.
Wow, she would have scared me too much to date her. Well, I'm not really attracted to women and all that but how could she tell??? Nope, she would have messed with my head just too much ...
She WAS Scary :)
I gotta tell this to Maude--tell her to put together a post. Good idea :)
So, I really like that glaze combo in the pic at the top-- the yellow with the blue...
Great story, Gary, but you make me feel old. I was having children by 84. LOL!
