Wie ist das, wenn die 46jährige Tochter sich zum zweiten Mal scheiden lässt und vorübergehend Unterschlupf bei ihrer über achtzigjährigen Mutter sucht?¿Muddi¿, dem Leser bereits bestens aus ¿Mutti geht¿s gut¿ und ¿Mutti hebt ab¿ bekannt, begleitet Laura, ihre Tochter, auf der Job-, Wohnungs- und Männersuche. Hierbei macht sie zum ersten Mal in ihrem Leben Bekanntschaft mit Online-Singlebörsen, den darin sich anbietenden Herren, die sich ihrer Tochter mit all ihren vermeintlichen Vorzügen vorstellen und für allerhand Wirbel sorgen. Muddi ist vor jedem Date von Laura die große Zweiflerin und Verfechterin der Moral, - wobei sie wiederum gern bei einem Glas Wein aus ihren alten Zeiten plaudert, als Männer noch Männer waren. Verwirrt von den Erzählungen ihrer Tochter, begibt sich Lauras Mutter sogar als verkappte Anstandsdame mit auf ein Treffen und gibt aus der Ferne Zeichen, um Laura vor einer negativen Erfahrung zu bewahren. Männer mit fürchterlichen Dialekten, Swingerclub Besucher, Regionalsenderbesitzer und sogar ein Internet-Fake aus Alabama führen ¿ hoffentlich ¿ letztlich dann doch zum Mann fürs Leben. Der tritt plötzlich und unerwartet in die traute Dreisamkeit von Muddi, Laura und deren Sohn Phillip, der ebenso wie Muddi von jeder Partnerschaftsanbahnung weiß.¿Mutti datet mit¿ ist mit allergrößter Wahrscheinlichkeit ein Ratgeber und Mutmacher für Frauen Ü 40, die noch einmal den Sprung in ein neues Leben wagen und bisher dachten, dass einige Fältchen unter den Augen und dünner gewordenes Haar die Männerwelt auf Abstand hielte. Dem ist gar nicht so. Im Gegenteil. Und Muddi datet mit!

Dies ist ein kleines, aber gewichtiges Büchlein. Es besteht aus drei kurzen Erzählungen, die mit ihrem langen Sinn vielleicht die Kraft haben, einige Lebensgeister zu erschrecken, von denen die Menschen vormals und heute befallen sind. Der erste Lebensgeist ist die Kunst. Der zweite Lebensgeist ist die Liebe.Der dritte Lebensgeist ist der Fortschritt.Wovon bist du besessen, lieber Leser? Wohin geht dein Glaube? Was bringt dir Ordnung und Sinn ins Leben? Denn das ist es, was all diesen Lebensgeistern am Ende ja gemein ist ¿ sie gaukeln uns Sinn und Bedeutung vor. Das ist ihre Macht, deshalb beschwören wir sie herauf, davon zehren sie und wir gleichermaßen und halten uns im Leben. Was aber, wenn der Betrug auffliegt? Was, wenn der Geist zurück in die Flasche verschwindet? Die folgenden drei Erzählungen handeln von den so Zurückgelassenen, von den entgeisterten Menschen, von ihren tragischen Fällen des Scheiterns. Ihr Beispiel soll uns gute Lehren bringen und uns rüstig machen gegen schädliche Heimsuchungen und schlechte Luft. Dieses Büchlein ist kein Ergebnis lustiger Stunden. Es soll daher auch nicht schnell und nebensächlich gelesen werden. Vielmehr möchte man sich dafür die nötige Zeit geben ¿ und es ist ja auch wirklich nicht allzulang. Wer aber trotzdem nur unachtsam darüber wegfliegt, wird viele Schleier vor den Augen haben und Rätselraten bis dorthin, dass es ¿ ich gebe es gerne zu ¿ an mancher Stelle ganz unlesbar sein wird.Doch das soll uns jetzt nicht weiter hindern, denn bekanntlich ist alles Anfangen schwer. Jeder soll sein Bestes geben ¿ Autor und Leser ¿ im Sagen und Hören und Sich-Verstehen. Was kann schon Schlimmeres dabei herauskommen als ein Irrtum?

Working with two adult neighborhood leaders, they hold a soup 'n' sandwich community meeting. Paul and Karen make huge vats of homemade soup. Creekers bring their own sandwiches. When Paul asks, "What do you want to see happening here?" they find out most Creekers do not feel respected at work.

So they decide to campaign for a raise in the minimum wage, respect on the job, and the return of the stolen funds. The factory owner is at their meeting and accuses Paul of being a socialist. The Creekers ask if the owner paid for his soup, which is only free to neighborhood residents. He didn't. So they make him pay for it and escort him out of the meeting. The factory owner then starts a lawsuit against them for slander. As they work closely together, Paul discovers Karen has a crush on him. They both realize they have a kind of magic between them they've never felt with anyone else.
