Bah

Hawks are not doing it tonight.

I know you have to work tomorrow (not sure what time), but if you have a break, or time before or after, and you're interested, let me know if you want to get together. I'll be free all day.

Hope the family get-together was fun for you today.

RE: You are right

Ah, they never give me as much of a hard time as I give myself. Don't worry, there will be no problems, I'll make up with mom and that'll be that :)

Yes, thanks for the laughs :D

RE: You are right

No, I don't always think you are up to something. Not at all. I'm just always trying to keep up with your jokes and everything. And I wasn't really thinking too much about it, but thank you for the clarification. I thought of that because I was envisioning your family giving you a hard time, and I didn't like the thought.

Tonight was too much fun and I absolutely loved making you laugh so much. :)

You are right

I'm sorry, I told you that you were wrong when talking about my family but you are right. I was referring to the most recent incident ([restaurant] sighting) when I said only [she] has said anything to me. Of course, others know previous happenings (after I told), so you are correct. I know you think I'm always up to something, so I wanted to send this note before receiving a barrage of questions.

It was great to see you tonight, that laugh was just what I needed - you're a nut :-)

RE: Want

Ah, sweet, I guess I'm supposed to pick? As usual, I dunno.

RE: Want

No, I don't have plans. You said today was a problem for you. So, I'm free later, too.

RE: Want

Yeah, I will.

I think you said you already made plans, but I'm free later if you want to get together.

RE: Want

Keep holding, kissing and touching me the way you do, please. You make me feel special and pretty.

Want

As usual, you were so beautiful tonight. Hugging, kissing, and touching you

I wanted you so bad. You're truly special.

RE: Bruised and sleepy

Oh, I'm really sorry. I hope you are not too sore.

Talk to you soon.

Bruised and sleepy

Hi,

That was some aggressive tickling; I think I'm bruised. :) Get some sleep and have sweet dreams.

Talk to you tomorrow,

RE: Yeah

Hmm, it ain't that easy these days. G'night ;)

RE: Yeah

And you. Okay, I will. You do the same. :)

Yeah

It was great to see you. Get some rest.

RE: OMG

Good :)

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

THAT's the problem, I can't do anything about the stuff down there - I have no control!! :(

RE: OMG

I've got a strong heart. I'm okay. ;)

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

The stuff that is broke is elsewhere and I can't get to it to fix it.

Hmm, okay, I understand :)

RE: OMG

Oh, sorry :/

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

The stuff that is broke is elsewhere and I can't get to it to fix it.

Hmm, okay, I understand :)

RE: OMG

Oh yea, about 10 terrible things ran through my mind. You're going to get a spanking for that.

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

A control issue? Not sure what you mean.

Hmm, okay? What?

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

A control issue? Not sure what you mean.

Hmm, okay? What?

RE: OMG

:--)

I thought you'd like that.

RE: OMG

LOL Don't scare me like that!!! Rock on!

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

It's a control issue and I can't control what is screwing up so it drives me crazy(ier) :)

Hmm, okay.

OMG

Jesus Christ - they won 8-7 in 14 innings, the window is still barely open.

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

It's a control issue and I can't control what is screwing up so it drives me crazy(ier) :)

Hmm, okay.

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

No way! That kind of comment would get my blood boiling too. Hmm. Don't get too upset -- remember they are idiots. You know that you know what you are doing there.

I believe it is Oct. 23.

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

I believe it is in October.

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

I have no clue. I'm preparing for a battle tomorrow at the office over a couple issues. I really need to stop taking things so serious, but the comment "He doesn't know what he is doing" rings in my head.

Ah, we all get busy from time to time :)

When you leave for vacation?

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

I have no clue. I'm preparing for a battle tomorrow at the office over a couple issues. I really need to stop taking things so serious, but the comment "[He] doesn't know what he is doing" rings in my head (it was said today by an individual in [another office]).

Ah, we all get busy from time to time :)

When you leave [on vacation]?

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

:) Come on, spit it out!

I know. Sorry. I know you've got a lot of stuff to take care of. Plus, I have to give you a chance to miss me. ;)

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

You're a nut.

You were busy last weekend!

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

You're a nut.

You were busy last weekend!

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

Alright, but feel free to give input. I always want to know what you think.

You're always so busy.

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

Alright, but feel free to give input. I always want to know what you think.

You're always so busy.

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

Because you're so indecisive? I guess we can defer until tomorrow. I'm not sure about the weekend, I know Saturday is out, not sure how long I'll work Sunday and Friday may be a problem ....

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

Hm, why does it always seem like it is my turn? Meet at the park? Meet at a bar and you can get me drunk? A restaurant seems like a waste, considering neither of us has an appetite for food. Or whatever you want to do. I won't see you all weekend? Drag.

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

Consider it done, meet me at the Mall.

I thought I picked the final destination last night and I had do drive all over to get, well, I dunno.

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

Consider it done, meet me at the Mall.

I thought I picked the final destination last night and I had do drive all over to get, well, I dunno. She has sent me some recent links to [another] site (which I thought was GONE), so maybe she is hinting? The [other] newsletter is been a chore with finding topics that haven't been covered.

A lesson in being careful what you wish for

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15018869/

How does he walk around with that thing?

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

I need a couple of bucks for a watch battery. ;)

Your turn!

You've been doing that for a long time...may be time for a break, at least. But she won't want to let you go.

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

Oh right, now let's take care of you!! Seriously, how much do you want? I'll give it to you tomorrow.

Now, the hard part, when and where??

Oh, I'm getting tired my editor. It may be time to dump the writing, I am scraping the bottom on issues.

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

Hey, where's my cut???

Goody!

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

I'll be there at 9 waiting for it to open!

Yes!

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

Good deal -- put that in the bank!

So...we doing something tomorrow, then?

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

Hardy har har.

Yes, it is strange. It seems the editor that gave me the assignment isn't working with that magazine anymore, but he pushed through the payment anyway. I better hurry up and cash it!

I'm sure it helps keep you sharp for the blog.

Alrighty then.

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

You are a machine!

Hm, that is strange. Maybe next you can get paid for an article that you don't even have to write.

Yes, my brain needs all the help it can get. And doing the Jumble is such a marketable skill.

Nuttin, honey.

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

I've been working through a bug list for the project as I watched the game, so I've managed to stay billable ;)

Funny, I received a check for that article you helped me with, but I don't think it was ever published. Weird.

Oh, the jumble is supposed to keep you mentally sharp!

I have the family thing Saturday, working Sunday and not sure about Friday, so whatcha doing tomorrow?

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

Sure. You have to stay on your toes.

I never did sleep. Probably just work that was making me feel tired. What yuse been doing? Working? Cooking? Hey, I'm getting better at the Jumble.
Does that mean my brain is getting a good workout? I'm really worried about my memory and brain power.

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

Exactly :)

All is quiet at the moment. Thanks for reminding me.

How was the nap?

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

Uh, wet is good. ;)

Oh, damn. Yes, and the next year and the next...

Any more family drama today or are they leaving you alone? Only three days til family reunion time!

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

It felt good all day, now it is a bit wet out there :)

Too late, it is screwed and their season is over. Oh well, there is always next year.

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

Yeah, it feels good out there.

Uh oh, they better not screw it up! I'll cross my fingers and toes. And eyes.

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

Yep, more rain!!

Shoot me, I'm watching the game.

Re: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

Mm, squeeze me. ;)

Quite a storm out there.

Re: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

Well-rounded in all the right places :)

S'pose to rain tonight and be cold tomorrow. Go take you a nap!

Yeah, I avoid them.

Re: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

I try to be well-rounded.

Been busy and it's going alright. That big lunch has made me sleepy.

Want to hit the couch for a bit. ;)

They are the bad kind of nut. :/

Re: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

Hmm, well-placed random bits of knowledge :)

Yeah, I'm okay, been busy with stuff over here and getting a hair cut at 5:30. H'bout you?

Most salespeople are loons!

Re: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

Nah, just have random bits of knowledge.

You doing okay? These salespeople are such idiots. They are trying my patience. Absolutely ridiculous.

Re: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

Wow, you are so well versed.

Re: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

I think the etiquette books say you have a year after to send the gift. :) Maybe I'll send a card.

Re: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

I told her about the thank you card and she said she had still not given a gift. Well, i thought it was funny.

Re: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

I guess she has invited me to a couple of things. She's been busy too.

I'll have to see if I can get her to go to dinner some time or something.

I still have to give her her gift!

That topic is tabled!

Re: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

She is still parking in the handicap spot due to her thumb :)

She said she has invited you out a few times but you are always busy.

Beautiful day!

Please, don't make me sick with any talk of kissing her.

Re: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

Hm, well, I'm sure Beth was thrilled to get to spend time with you. :)

Any talk of the thumb? I went to that fish place and ate way too much. Beautiful weather out there.

She took one of those blog quizzes and it said she was a perfect kisser. I'm thinking it tells everyone that. Nope, no lessons from me for her. Have YOU been teaching her?

Re: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

Wow, what a mix (of teaching), I wonder how he'll turn out.

It was okay, and I didn't tell her anything. I'm leaving that for you.

A perfect kisser? You been teaching her?

Re: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

He's our adopted son and we are teaching him the biz.

Yummy.

This is interesting (for dorks):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffalo_buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffalo

Note on her blog -- she is a perfect kisser. You might want to (continue to) stay away.

Re: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

Not so busy. ;)

Ahahaha. He wanted excitement -- and he got it! People are strange.

So, where are you taking her to lunch today?

Re: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

I would think it would become a nuisance after a while, but what do I know.

Hmm, so busy day?? ;)

Here ya go -- http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15021030/

Re: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

What man wouldn't?

It makes me laugh every time (still) that I see those commercials for Viagra and stuff and they mention this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priapism

Yes, I think it's funny.

Ew: It is also said a hanged man will get an erection and may ejaculate. This is, however, not caused by disinhibition of the penis, but rather due to blood rushing to the bodily extremities upon hanging.

Re: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

I was joking :) I'm sure he likes the attention.

Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

I'm making fun of him. Um, why hasn't he had that implant removed?

In 10 years? I don't get it. And does he have to have special pants made?

I wonder.

Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

Are you making fun of me?

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

:) Come on, spit it out!

I know. Sorry. I know you've got a lot of stuff to take care of.

Plus, I have to give you a chance to miss me. ;)

RE: I like this

Oh, I was jokingly referring to repeating yourself :D

Well, I worry enough for the both of us.

My niece called me earlier. She told me she felt like calling me every morning to thank me for her having a car she could rely on.

RE: Re: A lesson in being careful what you wish for

And what are you going to do about this situation???

Okay. :) And I think I get back on the 31st, but I need to check that.

RE: Didn't go

Hm, let's see. How is this supposed to go? I tell you that you were rude and a dick and then you don't talk to me for days or weeks? Let's fight!

RE: yuck

There's nothing like craving some food, making it, and it doesn't match you’re the memory or craving. Oh well, you tried :)

Ah, football is football, it never stops.

You're supposed to argue with me!!

Oh well, I was hyper this morning, didn't sleep much last night, wanted to do something and yes I did want to see you but nothing panned out and I ended up working as usual. Sorry for my confusion.

yuck

I made the pudding but it turned out gross. The craving has gone, though, so all is well.

Hope you enjoyed the football and your day.

RE: Didn't go

Uh, okay. Your message was short, too. I don't understand this message.

Like I said, I thought we were going to lunch, because you asked and I said yes. You also seemed like you really wanted to see me since you mentioned breakfast or meeting before that. No big deal.

RE: Didn't go

I couldn't find anybody to go to the game and then they called. You don't live that far away, you could've gone home for the chili. I'm assuming from this short message that you're mad at me? I guess I am supposed to apologize, but lunch was mentioned but not set in stone. I got the sense that you were busy with work and you've repeatedly said you're often too busy to go to lunch. I guess I should've never asked. Anyway, I was really looking to blow off the whole day and goof off.

I hope tutoring and/or exercise goes well. I'm headed my friend's house to watch football in a bit.

RE: Didn't go

Oh.

No, I didn't have any pudding. I did go to lunch. I was gonna bring my chili, but I didn't because I thought we were having lunch, but when I got here...

Didn't go

Oh well, I ended up spending the day at Cardinal working on some of their problems.

How's your day? Eat any pudding?

RE: RE: Please don't eat any spinach

Yeah, I know you're busy so I don't want to pull you away from work. I know your team needs you ;) I think I may head to Cincy for the afternoon baseball game at 12:30. I know it sounds silly, but I just need to get away for a bit and if I sit here I'll end up working. I guess that negates lunch, so maybe we can get together later, but you'll have the tutoring. Oh well, we still have the book club tomorrow.

Don't work too hard :)

RE: RE: Please don't eat any spinach

Yeah, just checking the e-mail. :) A little breakfast would be nice. I better head to the office. We can have lunch. I can probably do it whenever, after 12. Does that work? Let me get down there and see what's going on and get back with you. Let me know where.

RE: RE: Please don't eat any spinach

And, I didn't know you were online, I was going to invite you over for breakfast or meet somewhere, but I know you need to go to work.

RE: RE: Please don't eat any spinach

You're such a good daughter.

I know you're busy, so maybe a late lunch or something? Let me know.

RE: RE: Please don't eat any spinach

No problems, mom's on her way home.

Hm, well, take care of youself. Let me know if you need anything. Okay?
Guess I have to go to work (sigh).

RE: RE: Please don't eat any spinach

Meh, a scratchy throat and some achiness but I'm okay.

I hope the airport shuttle trip was smooth, and don't be driving and crying at the same time!!

My mind is shot, so I'm avoiding the office today. I was so upset over some stupid shit on Friday - I just get too involved in all the bullshit. Oh well, I'll try to get some sleep.

RE: RE: Please don't eat any spinach

You're still sick?

I'm taking her to the airport, yes, but I don't think I'll be crying. I think she had a good time. Too short for her, of course. But that's true for anyone who gets to spend time with me.

RE: RE: Please don't eat any spinach

Don't tell me what to do ;)

On average? Hmm, I don't think so.

It's been okay, I've had a sore throat and been achy (but not whining). Oh, you have to take her to the airport in the morning? Will you both be crying? Well, I'm sure she enjoyed the time spent with her daughter :)

RE: RE: Please don't eat any spinach

That's good. You should go there some time.

Ha ha. On average, I probably am in one of the poorer sections of town. It's no east end.

Hope your weekend has been good. Mom leaves tomorrow morning, so she will be weepy, though she's kept it in check so far.

RE: RE: Please don't eat any spinach

No, as always, I believe you.

Not clever, it just happened that I'm on a bit of a hill although not much water troubles out this way. The system is built so the water flows to the poorer sections of town, so I know you're safe :)

RE: RE: Please don't eat any spinach

You don't believe me? It's true. Lots to see there.

Aren't you the clever one? I can hardly believe 7 people were killed.

:)

RE: RE: Please don't eat any spinach

A lot to see? Really, hmm.

No, my house sits on a hill, so I stood and watch all below tangle with the water.

Thanks, that's good :)

RE: RE: Please don't eat any spinach

Never been to a farmer's market? Hm. You're so sheltered. The Center was good. A lot to see. Have to go back some time.

Yeah, too much water. I trust you didn't drown?

Thanks, I will. :)

RE: RE: Please don't eat any spinach

Hmm, I've never been to a Farmer's market nor the Center. I knew you'd find something to do.

Lots of rain = lots of water, oh wait, you know that.

Thanks, you too :)

Re: RE: Please don't eat any spinach

Well, you're not lazy, you're management, just not used to doing the actual work ;)

Wow, it just keeps on raining. Luckly you have that nice car.

Everything okay with mother? I went to see All the King's Men. It was good, not great, but I liked it.

Re: RE: Please don't eat any spinach

Yeah, it's going okay. Went to the Farmer's market.

Basement is very wet. Damn.

Have a nice weekend.

RE: Please don't eat any spinach

It's easy. I'm lazy.

Nope, it doesn't. Stop it.

No way to stay dry with all this rain. You? On TV, they say if the water's> high, go around, don't drown! Sound advice.

RE: Please don't eat any spinach

Hmm, I've always thought chili was easy to make, but I'm sure your recipe is complicated.

It doesn't help? Really? ;)

Hope you've had fun and managed to stay dry. Have fun.

RE: Please don't eat any spinach

Eh, making chili is work. It's the weekend!

Try to relax and not worry. It doesn't help, you know. It never helps.

RE: Please don't eat any spinach

No spinach for me or you!

She'll be tired from the traveling, so take good care of her. You can make some chili :)

Ah, the stress is all my doing - as in, I worry too much.

RE: Re: I think I just missed

It looks like nothing but rain this weekend, so keep Mom and the dogs dry. I'll see you at midnight. :)

Please don't eat any spinach

http://www.cnn.com/2006/HEALTH/09/22/tainted.spinach/index.html

Maybe you just better not eat any greens of any kind. Stay healthy. :)

She isn't delayed too long. Arriving at 5:40, so I'll swing by and pick her up in a little bit. It's so cold, chili sounds good for dinner. Too bad I don't have a mom who wants to come to town and cook for her little girl.

Hope you start feeling better after your stressful day. I'll talk to you soon. Be good.

RE: Re: I think I just missed

Darn. You have a good weekend too. Don't miss me too much. I'll meet you up at your office at midnight. ;)

Well, you can just give them a pat. I like to hug them and scratch their tummies.

RE: Re: I think I just missed

Not your fault :) I should've met you for lunch, it is useless to keep working on these things. Oh well, I hope you have lots of fun. I'll talk to you soon, smile :)

I don't dislike dogs, but I’m not sure about the cuddling.

RE: Re: I think I just missed

Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, she'll get here fine, I'm sure. Guess I'll talk to you later.

No dog cuddling? Well, I know you don't like dogs, but I do.

RE: Re: I think I just missed

Yes, a bit of attitude. It is just a bad day all around. I think I'm going to leave. So, y'all finally talked? Well, I hope she arrives safely and on time - don't want you to be robbed of any time with her.

Cuddle with the dogs? Hmm.

Re: Re: I think I just missed

Attitude today? All the finger-pointing doesn't sound too productive.

She called and is delayed getting out of Houston, so we'll see if she is delayed getting here. Flying is such fun.

I could take a nap. I need some warm dogs to cuddle with me. Oh! I have some!

Re: Re: I think I just missed

I'm trying to work less, just finish a few of these things first :) I'm in a finger-pointing match again here at the office. Fuck'm.

Any word from Mom? Where's MOM!?!?!

Yes, very dark, gloomy, rainy, time for a nap.

Re: I think I just missed

So I've heard.

You work so much. Darn, lunch would have been fun. :)

I'm doing alright. Writing silly blog posts, editing, drinking too much coffee and such. Nothing too exciting. It's so dark outside, it's making me sleepy.

Re: I think I just missed

You're a nut.

I'm okay, but I was up late working (at the office). I was going to try to come down to you for lunch, but that didn't pan out. Oh, yes, the headache is gone and the neck is feeling better. How are yuse doin?

I think I just missed

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14927311/

Maybe next year.

How are you feeling today? Headache gone?

RE: Good

Hey,

Nah, you didn't give me this headache. It's been hurting all day, just got worse and my neck is sore/stiff. I agree about the talking :)

Yep, next week works. I hope you have fun with Mom - just relax, it'll be okay.

I do love you too.

Good

Your headache going away? Hm, I may have given that to you. Sorry, if so.
You may not agree, but I do think that we need to talk about some of these things, no matter how uncomfortable. It seems to make more sense than saying I don't know. At least we can still laugh about it, right?

I guess I won't be able to see you this weekend, since mom will be here.
Maybe I can see you Monday or Tuesday? Oh, Tuesday is the book club.

I do love you.

RE: Sleeep

Stretch it out? It's pretty big, oh yeah, okay, I know what you mean. Okay, I'm off to the office. You get some sleep!

RE: Sleeep

Noooo, I've been blamed for enough, so I'll take a pass. I'm sure they'll do great. Plus you don't want me to stretch it out.

RE: Sleeep

I'm kind of superstitious, I let somebody where an Eagles shirt I had (years ago) and the quarterback broke his leg the next day, so - unless you want to be blamed for the Phils missing the playoffs ..... :)

RE: Sleeep

I'll take the new one. I know how much you love the old one. :)

RE: Sleeep

Meh.
I have an old one you can wear. I know how much you love it.

RE: Sleeep

Ah, that will be so fun. So much family time.
What???

RE: Sleeep

No plans with my mom this weekend, I have to see her next weekend at the family gathering.

Hmm.

RE: Sleeep

Hee hee

Come on. ;) Give her a kiss for me.

What? I'm happy!

RE: Sleeep

Such a little tickle box.

Uh, no deal, but you can spend some time with my mom if you wanna :)

You're funny, NOT.

RE: Sleeep

(cough cough sniffle) Too bad, because I need to be tickled, but I'll have to wait.

How about you spend time with your mom? She'd love it. Get that good karma going. Bring me some anecdotes and we can trade mommy stories.

RE: Sleeep

I'll be okay. You're the one that has been sick.

Oh yeah, mother is coming!!! While it'd be great to see mom, I don't want to rob you of any quality time. That works, we can meet after work.

RE: Sleeep

Well, or you're well?

Sure. I'll be busy with mom over the weekend, soooooo... I thought it'd be nice to see you. Unless you want to charm her, too.

RE: Sleeep

Well.

No plans, you? Wanna get some grub?

RE: Sleeep

No, YOU don't need to be out. You're the sicky.

Are you doing anything tomorrow after work?

RE: Sleeep

While it would be lovely to see you, you'll be working and I don't want to get you in trouble. Darn these logical thoughts I have.

RE: Sleeep

:)

Well, I'll be there around midnight.

RE: Sleeep

Weird how I check my e-mail right as yours arrives.

I'll meet ya down there. ;)

Sleep is good. Yup, I'm fine. :)

Sleeep

Wow, I crashed and still sleepy, but I have to go to the office in a bit to check on a couple things (if only they'd give me a laptop).

Hope you are doing well.

RE: Hey

Hmm, I was just saying that.

I've tried, repeatedly, no luck. I'll have to get a job somewhere.

RE: Hey

Okay, good. :) Or are you just saying that?

Hm. Well, you need to get some somehow. Just in case.

RE: Hey

Okay.

It is partly my fault and apparently now I can't get it. Go figure.

RE: Hey

Relax.

Hm, well, that is a bit distressing. You can tell me about it some time.

They're about equal. Lurve them both.

RE: Hey

I guess :/

No, and I was wrong, it isn't that easy to get. It's a long ass story better told in person. I'm not blowing you off, just a lot to type :)

Better than Sportscenter??

RE: Hey

Interesting that you use the word accused? Is that how you feel? You're not insane. You just need to relax a bit.

You don't have insurance? Now how did that happen?

It is!

RE: Hey

Yes, I've been accused of that several times, but you, other friends, certain family members, and paid professionals. Yes, I am insane.

No, I am not taking anything. Another story - I don't have health insurance.

I've heard L&O is always good.

RE: Hey

Interesting. You feel you have to try to keep the family together as much as possible? Eh, let's not get into that. :)

Well, it's not a Z pack. Just a big bottle. :) Along with all the other
stuff. Speaking of which, are you taking anything for this cold or whatever you've got?

Wow, this new Law and Order is good! ;)

RE: Hey

Hmm, well I think she may have met her at grandma's funeral (dad's mother) but she doesn't remember and they were not married at that time. No, I'm the only one to meet the stepmother.

I doesn't really bother me that the guy is dead. Maybe it will as I inevitably give it more thought. It was odd that I knew so much about the guy, but I used to clean dad's office building when I was in college so ... oh well enough about that.

Yeah, that is right, take the full cycle - a Z pak? I broke out (hives) years ago and was given it.

RE: Hey

OK, OK. :)

She has never met her? I didn't know that. Have your brothers met her? Does it make you feel strange that your father's friend died? How did he die?

No, he has to take the full cycle. Several days worth. It's not healthy to stop without going through the cycle, reducing the dose gradually. You had to take it? What for?

RE: Hey

I do say so! ;)

Well, she has never met her. I just found it strange that she was in that situation and didn't know any of the people that were close to her father. Okay, I guess it isn't strange given the circumstances, but funny/weird. I guess it is more strange that I knew some of the people.

Poor Fredo, can he stop taking it? Yes, that is some strange medicine. I had a bad reaction to it a few years ago.

RE: Hey

Hm, you say so.

She didn't recognize stepmother, you mean? Strange.

Poor Fredo. He's sick from the medicine now, instead of his allergies. Funny that he's taking prednisone. The same steroid that my mother has to take and that makes her so sick. Strange substance. It can treat so much but cause so much damage at the same time.

RE: Hey

Nah, it has nothing to do with you, just one of those things. I have a few things to do before I can rest.

Weird, I talked to my sister earlier. She went to a funeral last night, father of a friend. Well, she was telling me about the guy. He did the same type of work as our father. I asked his name, and the guy actually worked with dad - I had met him. She was describing some of the people there, some I knew, and it seems like our stepmother was there. Funny, she was there and didn't know her (or anybody else).

RE: Hey

Hi,
I'm alright. I'm sorry you keep getting sick. Hm, you keep getting sick after you see me. Maybe that is a bad sign. Go to sleep! You really need rest.

Hey

My head is pounding and body aching, I hope you are doing okay.

RE: Is Bush next?

No, not that I know of. You've got it all together.

Well, I told him you were trying to get the candy back, so now you're a Indian Giving Bitch ;)

I don't help things. He said something about money and I said "well, you've have more if she (the wife) didn't spend it all"

RE: Back

Oh, nevermind.

I ain't ever seen a puppy that big, and I hope I never do.

As far as showers go, it was good.

RE: Back

Noisy sex?

Hm. So you lied to her and she believed you. Good job. Good thing she doesn't live here or she'd be following you around like a puppy.

Good shower?

RE: Back

Yeah, just hope you land in one piece.

I'd opt for the Marriott - all the noisy sex doesn't bother as many people there.

Mmm.

She's a lot of woman.

It took a lot of convincing, but she finally believed me.

Yeah, I wondered about him running utbut who knows.

Took a shower and now the blister has burst.

RE: Back

I really don't feel safe, but what can you do?

Yes, I was complaining. I was told I could stay at the Marriott. ;)

I will be gentle -- at the right time.

You need to remind her that she's the only one for you.

He is consistent. Though, I don't think it can be said that he ever "ran" the place. God, her poetry is putrid.

Whatcha doing?

RE: Back

I never feel safe flying, but I block it (most of the time).

Aww, well, you were probably complaining so much about the heat that you scared everybody (including dog) away ;)

Please, be gentle.

I told her to contact you with any questions.

Rex is insane. I like how he tells the exact time he went to the movie and then wonders if all Wal-Marts carry single servings of Spam.

RE: Back

I felt so very safe. NOT.

But I was alone. :(

Don't worry, I won't hurt you. Much.

Yeah...I can picture it. Tell her to MIND HER OWN BEE'S WAX. Dag

:) Sounds good.

Hey, Rex found single serve Spam! He is such a resource.

RE: Back

You're living on the edge!

You on the floor sweating is a good thought :)

I'm not sure if I want it or not, it sounded kind of threatening.

Funny, I did freak out momentarily, but I'm okay now.

I have the funniest cartoon for you.

RE: Back

You're living on the edge!

You on the floor sweating is a good thought :)

I'm not sure if I want it or not, it sounded kind of threatening.

Funny, I did freak out momentarily, but I'm okay now.

I have the funniest cartoon for you.

RE: Back

I went w/o lotion, but I did fly four flights with toothpaste and a lighter in my bag! It's a wonder noone was killed, huh? Crazy.

On the floor -- sweating. ;) She wouldn't turn the air on. Argh.

Don't you want your corn???

To her, "everybody" is her. Are you freaking out now? You should probably not be talking to such a nosy person.

RE: Back

How'd the whole lotion "situation" go? I didn't see you on the news.

Hmm, on the floor, puking again? ;)

Wow, that sounds like a threat (I have your corn right here).

God, I left a message on Ang's latest post and she sent me an email stating that everybody knows I am getting busy with someone not living with me.

RE: Back

Nope, I will NOT get sick again! I held my breath all the way.

It was hot. Really! I lay on the floor in front of the window and couldn't catch a breeze. It was brutal.

I've got your corn right here.

I'm serious! Don't mess around with those or we're going to have a problem.

RE: Back

Also? That is funny. Well, it can take a few days for the full effects of a plane ride to appear :)

Uh oh, was it hot or did you have a fever? Where's my corn? YOU PROMISED!

Hahahaha.

RE: Back

I'm okay, also. Cough seems to be abating finally. Nope, no problems.

Was it hot? It was really nice and cool and breezy there. Then, last night it was so freaking hot I couldn't sleep. Then, this morning, it was COLD. Crazy weather. The sweet corn was soooooo good. :)

Uhoh, a blister on your hand??? You have to take good care of those. :)

RE: Back

I'm okay and yourself? How's your cold, the flight cause further problems?

Yeah, it was so hot at yesterday's game. But, of course, you make it hotter :)

The work was cancelled or rescheduled until next week, but that didn't stop me from other work plus I had some trees to trim (now I have a blister on my mouse hand).

Back

Hey,

How are you?

Back with no flight problems. It was cold there! It is hot here! How about this weather!?

You working today? Or "working" with those hoodlums over there?

RE: RE: Well, well, well

Hmm, if you couldn't see the tv then you didn't actually watch it ;) The game was good, but it was soooo hot.

Hope your journey home is smooth and uneventful.

Talk to you soon :)

RE: RE: Well, well, well

Hi,

Watched the game on the patio at a friend's bar. Kind of funny - we couldn't see the TV very well. But the team pulled it out. I didn't see the game but I know they won big. Did you have a good time with your son?

Gotta get back on a plane today, I'll be home this afternoon. Talk to you soon and I'll see you on Monday. :)

RE: RE: Well, well, well

I'm sure you look great in that swimsuit.

Shucks? Is that a corn joke? ;)

I do? Hmm, you seem surprised. I'll work it out so I'm free on Monday.

Bring a magazine? Nah, it isn't poor form. Are you actually going to a game? It is a beautiful day, so the game should be good.

RE: RE: Well, well, well

Yes, it was. I don't know.

Aw, shucks. ;)

Oh, well, we didn't play a game, just watched TV.

You do? Hm. Will I see you Monday? I'm free all evening (and night, actually), if you have any time.

I don't know if I can stay awake through all this football today. I wonder if it is okay if I bring a magazine? Is that considered poor form? I hope you have a good time at the game. :)

Talk to you soon.

RE: RE: Well, well, well

I thought it was the reason for the swimsuit.

Well, you're one of them rare intelligent girls!

Yes, you missed me, it would have been great to talk to you.

You're always playing some kind of game with women ;)

Yes, I miss you too - a lot.

RE: RE: Well, well, well

I guess I'm going.

Yes, I have two degrees. :)

Oh, I called you at the office, but I missed you.

I was doubtful that I could have a nap, and I didn't get one. But that's okay. We did, in fact, surprise him, and I think he was happy. It was pretty low-key, but a nice birthday surprise for him. I think his mom and I are going to play some games now. :) Their dog is here so I have a doggy to play with, too.

I miss and love you too, very much.

RE: Thanks

Hey, yes, last night was great. I was so tired and I was asleep in no time, but I woke up around 3 sweating and ended up on the bathroom floor and eventually getting sick (a few times). It is still with me this morning, but I am feeling a little better. It must've been something I ate. I hope you are feeling okay.

Yes, that book should keep you out of trouble.

RE: RE: Well, well, well

You guess? Are you going or not?

I just looked up the definition, so I guess you're one.

There are no "missed calls" on my phone. If you called the office, I left before noon - worked over earlier in the week, and us contractors aren't allowed overtime so had to cut my day short.

Are you doubtful that you can surprise him, take the nap, or both? Well, I hope you had a good nap.

I love you.

RE: RE: Well, well, well

Yeah, I guess.

Just went to see the movie. It was good, again. :) I called, but you weren't answering. :( But then you never take my calls!

They apparently sold all the flags right away, so no, I didn't get one.

Think I'm going to take a short nap before we go surprise him, if I can.

Eh, it's alright.

Talk to you soon.

RE: RE: Well, well, well

Well, you'll be off soon.

That is a lot of flags. Did you buy a flag?

Yeah, football tomorrow, I'm sure you'll be watching the big showdown tomorrow!

Ah, she whined a lot about the finger. She ate like her arm was broken. It was funny for a bit, but then just annoying :/

Tampons go bad? Wow, learn something new everyday.

Hope you're having fun.

RE: RE: Well, well, well

Not quite a jetsetter, huh?

Hm, well, he doesn't have a clue. ;)

I told them I hadn't seen it. Yeah, I lied. But I don't mind going again. We went to see this thing called the Healing Field, where someone put up an American flag for each person killed on 9/11. It was kind of cool to see.

And sad. They're selling the flags to raise money for some charities. Not much else going on. Have to go get a card and some other stuff for the party. They guys are gone all day golfing. Then football tomorrow!!!

I'll watch for you at the game.

She is being pathetic? :) Well, I hope you had fun.

You always have good dinnertable conversation. Lynn was talking about the old tampons that her daughter got out of her cabinet and how they were outdated. She says, "what, they won't go in?" Ha.

No confrontations over the email! Have a good Friday. :) Talk to you soon.

RE: RE: Well, well, well

You travel to all the exotic places ... ;) I'm glad you made it safely - I can stop worrying (until Sunday).

I'm thinking, do I point out the error in your sentence (Brad doesn't have a club?) - oops, I just did it!

Hmm, I'm not sure I'd want to see that movie again (without you), but I'm sure you'll have fun, just try not to cough and bother the rest of the audience (and, that cough doesn't keep me away). I'm kind of surprised that you didn't throw a fit and make them go to a different movie. Oh, and any confrontation over you ignoring those emails?

An okay day. Let's see, the usual work stuff and lunch the Mexican place so I start talking about that Talk Sex show and the butt plug caller and then notice the two tables around us are quiet and looking strange. I met our buddy after work, she is so milking that thumb injury, I'm surprised she isn't using handicap parking spaces. She had no exciting stories, so not much else to say about that.

Talk to you soon.

Re: RE: Well, well, well

Hi,

Made it! Funny to be here when there's good weather. Usually, it's 40 below. I kind of forgot the bday party tomorrow is a surprise. Everyone is nervous about screwing it up somehow, but the consensus seems to be that he doesn't have a clue. He's weird,though. He wanted his mom to tell him where she was taking him for dinner (the story to get him there) and what he would have so he wouldn't have the same thing for lunch. He's acting like he's 80!

Looks like I'm going to see Little Miss Sunshine again tomorrow with the girls. Good thing I liked it. ;) Well, I still have my cough. Guess I should have gone to the doctor before now. At least it keeps people away from me. ;)

Hope you're having a good day. I'll bring you back an ear of corn too. Talk to you soon,

RE: Area 25

Geez, thanks, this sounds like a plan.

Re: RE: Well, well, well

Yes, yes it is :)

Riiiiiiight.

Mmm, pork chops, well, I hope you have some fun.

RE: Well, well, well

Yeah, it's always great for you to see me. ;)

Don't get into too much trouble "working" this weekend. I know how you can be. You're such a bad influence on all those hard-working, naive people over there.

I'll bring you back a pork chop.

RE: Well, well, well

You're a nut.

It was great to see YOU. Yep, gotta wear those shorts while I can :)

You always make that place sound so exciting! Well, I'm going to the football game on Saturday and supposed to work Sunday - so my weekend is set.

Here's the book I have for you - "On Seven Loves" http://www.amazon.com/Seven-Loves-Novel-Valerie-Trueblood/dp/0316058939

I hope you have a safe and uneventful plane ride. Don't forget that lotion :)

Reminder, don't drink beer ;)

Well, well, well

Okay, so now I know I don't have to ask that question. ;)

Thanks for meeting me. It was too short, but I'm glad I got to see you.
You're cute in your shorts. Fall's coming and you won't be able to wear them for long, though. Now I really am pretty sleepy, and I think you must be too. I'll e-mail you or call you or otherwise harass you over the weekend, okay? Hey, Iowa is not that exciting. I know I've made it sound that way, but it's really not. So I'll be bored and I'll miss you. Now I have to go find some books to take along with me.

Night,

Remind me not to drink beer. Ugh, it makes me feel so gross. :(

RE: Leaving

Hi,

I'm meeting her at 1:00 tomorrow. Not sure how long we'll beparty planning, so do you want to meet before that? Except I know you like to sleep in on the weekend. If that's okay, I can meet you any time before that. Not sure what there is to do in the morning, except, well...I can think of one thing.

Enjoy the game. :)

RE: Evening report

G'night.

RE: Evening report

I'd try. ;)

Okay, I'm going to sleepy time. Get some rest! G'night. See you tomorrow.

RE: Evening report

What you'd inflict it on them? ;)

Okay :)

RE: Evening report

And psychological damage.

Don't tell me what not to do!

RE: Evening report

Well, it'd give you some stories ;)

Don't be copying me.

RE: Evening report

That'd be a nightmare!

Hm? That's the same thing you said! :)

RE: Evening report

That'd be a party!

Okay? Hmm.

RE: Evening report

Uhm, no. Gawd, no.

Okay.

RE: Evening report

Uhm, no, maybe you can have them both stay all night ;)

Things? Hmm, things are okay, you?

RE: Evening report

Then you need to hear them! You should go hang out with him and her.

So smart.

How are things?

RE: Evening report

I'm sure he has much crazier stories, if possible.

I sat and took notes.

RE: Evening report

I heard he knows something about blow jobs.

No. I couldn't stand to watch any of that. He never says anything worth listening to. Did you?

RE: Evening report

Well, we know he doesn't know what he is doing (at anything).

You watch your man Bush on the telly?

RE: Evening report

I'm too old. And I heard he OD'd.

RE: Evening report

You have plenty of time! Give Brinley a call, he'll hook you up!

RE: Evening report

Yeah

Smart guy.

I'm watching this series on drug culture on VH1. Man, I've missed a lot. Ecstasy sounds good.

RE: Evening report

You still taking your meds?

I'm far from rich, and it is an investment in saving myself from painting!

Yep, I saw the commercial (again) ;)

RE: Evening report

YES. If they're taking them, they're taking the wrong ones.

It would have been nice to see you. :) Good thing you're rich. Oops, guess you're a little less rich now. But it's an investment.

Oh, I saw the Wookie commercial. Yup, she said Wookie. :)

RE: Evening report

You seem to have a few people that need some drugs :)

Yes, you shouldn't be skipping meals like that. I should've brought you some lunch. The meeting was okay, I wrote the check and everything is good to go.

RE: Evening report

Yeah, I know. But I still think you have me beat.

I didn't go. I hadn't had any lunch or dinner (I know, I know) so I didn't have much energy. Pretty bad. How was the siding meeting?

RE: Evening report

I was saying you don't know how many people in your office .... well, you get the point.

How was the workout?

RE: Evening report

I'm basing it on information you've given me. Were you wrong?

Oh.

RE: Evening report

Do you know that for sure?

Always :)

RE: Evening report

I don't work with as many druggies as you do!

Hm, they better get back to you soon. Are you still pissed off?

RE: Evening repor

Well then, you can stop going. You spend enough time around people on drugs at work!

No, they are supposed to call me - the officers were not on duty.

Evening report

Don't worry, tutoring was fine. I only stayed about an hour. I have to say they were acting weird. I think one guy was on drugs. The teacher said he thinks they are going to shut down that program, probably by the end of the year.

Did you find out anything at the police station?

RE: Sorry

Thanks, and sleep well :)

RE: Sorry

I'll make sure you get the message. :)

Yeah, I better lie down in a few minutes. Hm, now I'm watching Talk Sex and a show on the effects of 9/11. You should get some rest -- you've had a big day.

RE: Sorry

Hopefully I don't interrupt when you're trying to tell me.

The whole anal tearing discussion was uncomfortable. She is hee-larry-us.

You better get some sleep! You've got a short week ahead with LOTS to do!

RE: Sorry

I'll try to give you a warning if I feel one coming on. ;)

How do you? Yeah, just do it, lady! Do what you want! haha Those questions are crazy. Funny how she says con-domes. Silly Canadians.

It can't hurt to ask those questions, and maybe those guys/gals will get censured or something.

RE: Sorry

Ha, screaming would have been good or scared the hell out of me ;)

OMG, the Talk Sex show is on. Lady just asked how a woman gets on top (she said, just do it). And, another guy called and asked about putting a butt plug in his arse past the base and then it got stuck, OUCH!! She is talking about "split skin around the rectum", I'm squirming.

Yeah, I guess I'll calm down eventually, but I feel like I'm supposed to protect him - to a point.

RE: Sorry

I could have screamed, but I squeezed instead. :)

I like to tease you about the interrupting. You're a good listener. And you ask good questions that keep me on my toes. I know sometimes I talk too much but that's only because I'm comfortable with you.

From what you said about the four teenagers, that is just too blatant. And like you say, the whole situation was dangerous, with the "guns."

RE: Sorry

Ha.

Nah, I crave your words so keep talking ;) I'm a bit A-ADD or something that makes me interrupt over and over. I was once diagnosed with something (can't remember what) that was said to be at the root of that "issue."

It is one of those things that makes me angrier as I think about it. What makes this worse is my friend telling me about the blatant racism within the our police dept. She's no longer in this area.

RE: Sorry

DAMN :)

Hm, I always crave hearing what you have to say. You keep a lot to yourself.
I'll try to be quieter. ;)

You're such a troublemaker.

RE: Sorry

Damn or dag? ;)

I was joking, I was awaiting nothing but my chance to speak!

We'll see what happens.

RE: Sorry

It was uncontrollable! I mean, damn.

I got quiet, you awaited my answer? What do you mean, captain?

You go get 'em. It's a very valid question. Very strange.

RE: Sorry

I appreciate the peaceful minutes - although I'm kind of sore from being squeezed so hard (I kid) :)

Yeah, you just got quiet as I awaited your answer!

I may have started some trouble - sent a message to a local councilman.

RE: Sorry

It was an abrupt departure, true. Oh well. I tried to give you a peaceful minute, or several. ;) Hm, now I want more.

Ha Ha. I try to answer, but you interrupt. ;)

RE: Sorry

I was talking about you and me. Well, we kinda been there before (not there), so ... but, I know what you mean :) I felt dazed as I left, switching from one thing to another. Can I ever get a peaceful minute?? ;)

I try to ask but you always keep telling me to stop interrupting you, ha.

RE: Sorry

"that," meaning you and me, or the thing with your son? It does seem a bit dreamy. Funny how you think about something over and over and then it's happening for the first time and it almost seems like deja vu.

Maybe sometimes I do, but I'd be happy to tell you anything you wonder about.

RE: Sorry

Geez, do some things seem surreal? Like, did that really happen today?

No, it seems you are always thinking, but you tend to keep it to yourself.

RE: Sorry

Mmm

Good thing you woke up and didn't pee yourself. ;) I haven't remembered any dreams lately. Wonder what's going on in my brain. Maybe nothing. You're the big thinker.

RE: Sorry

Yes, you felt too good as well (and as usual).

Dad has taught me a lot - good and bad, I am always thinking, I have plenty of problems, and hmm who has the answers? Wow, could the dream have that much meaning. Well, I really think the bathroom part was about my need to urinate - I really had to go bad when I woke up :)

RE: Sorry

I can't wait to hear what happens.

Thanks. :) You sure looked (and felt) good today.

Let's see. The dream book you gave me says father is the person who teaches the laws of life. The hospital means you feel in need of help in times of emotional trouble. Or you resent the type of help you receive because it could be harmful.

McDonald's isn't in there, but food is physical and emotional strength and energies. Feeding the animal in you.

Writing is thinking, planning, and organizing. To account for something to yourself. Or an important message or tip. You need to turn to a particular person and discuss something important with him or her. Or, if you have an important question, this person may have an answer.

Bathroom is a place for cleansing, an erotic place where clothes are taken off. Or the psychoanalyst's office. A place of emotion.

Urine, magical liquid, like all body liquids. Points to sexual or domestic problems.

RE: Sorry

Uh, no asking for advice, I'll blow it up myself.

Ah, royal blue is good, a great match with those eyes and dark hair. Of course, you'd look good in anything.

I had this weird dream last night. I was at the hospital, in a waiting room area. Apparently, dad was in some room and possibly dying. He was going on and on about it and I said "well, are you really surprised?" He didn't answer, and then I'm sitting at a table writing a long letter to McDonald's (complaining about a bad breakfast sandwich) on a McDonald's sandwich wrapper (I'd think that would be hard to write on). Mom was making fun of me writing and I told her to go away. Next, I am searching the hospital (with my sister) for a bathroom. I finally find one - it is real small - and I get in line, but women kept coming out of the restroom. Oh, and then I woke up and surprise I had to pee :)

RE: Sorry

Yeah, I wouldn't mess with a gun, either. You should go ahead and ask her advice for blowing up an issue.

Yup, I'm all better.

I found a swimsuit. Royal blue. Five bucks!

RE: Sorry

All the moms I have are ;)

I don't yell at anybody carrying a gun. They didn't seem to like the race question, and I am going to contact somebody on the council (about the bb guns given out at the fair). Geez, am I turning into our buddy? Well, not entirely, since my bones aren't as big.

Feeling okay, all better?

RE: Sorry

Most moms are, no?

Hm. He'll be alright. You'll be alright. Did you yell at the cops?

RE: Sorry

I don't know, I've heard she is quite the handful. Ha.

Mmm, I'm okay, feel a bit weird, I am still upset over what happened. Stupidity.

RE: Sorry

A bit, yes. But he'll have a good time. Yeah, what am I going to do with her???

You alright?

RE: Sorry

I assume it is sarcasm that he is looking forward to seeing the parents? Oh well, at least you get some quality time with mom :)

RE: Sorry

Hi,

It wasn't your fault. I'm glad he's okay.

I had a wonderful time today. I hope you are okay. Yes, the rest of my day has been uneventful. Talked to my brother for a bit. He's excited to see my parents soon. ;)

Sorry

Hey,

It was great to see you today. I'm sorry I had to leave so suddenly.

Okay, he was not arrested, but detained. Apparently, he (and friends) were walking around with a bb gun (handgun type) and somebody in the neighborhood called the police on them (thinking it was a real gun). I'm not sure what happened with the gun - he says they didn't point it anybody, but I dunno.

Now, these bb guns were given out at the festival last night. The police pulled alongside the group of boys and drew their guns - making them lie flat on the ground. Here's a point where I get upset, the one white teenager in the group was let go while the three black teenagers were detained. They couldn't explain that to me (they being the police). He tried to play it off, but he was shaken up. It makes me think of the many stories where the police shoot a suspect who had a toy gun or something that resembled a gun. Oh well, everything is okay now, I'm sure the neighbors have plenty to talk about after two police cars were at my house.

Hope the rest of your day has been uneventful.

RE: The ultimate

Okay, enjoy your reading and rest.

RE: The ultimate

No worries.

There's not much on TV, so I think I'm gonna go lie down and read from my monster stack of magazines. I'll get plenty of rest so I won't fall asleep on ya tomorrow. Get your rest, too.

G'night.

RE: The ultimate

If you're still feeling bad tomorrow, just let me know and we can reschedule. You need your rest :)

RE: The ultimate

LOL Good analogy, her ass is crazy tight.

RE: The ultimate

It grabs me nice and tight, tight as your friend's ass. Okay, to be more clear, 1:00 is good.

RE: The ultimate

How does 1:00 grab ya?

RE: The ultimate

Yes, time?

RE: Cowboys and lesbians

Don't make any decisions while sick ;)

RE: The ultimate

Is that near work? That could work. No crawfish, please.

RE: Cowboys and lesbians

So many possible uses. Maybe I should order some.

RE: Cowboys and lesbians

Wow, that is some cool stuff, "Liquid Roll-On applies a smooth, thin invisible coating to the skin. This coating will eliminate or greatly minimize the friction that causes blisters, chafing and irritation."

RE: Cowboys and lesbians

Ugh. Bleeding nipples -- that is just wrong. Use this:

Crap, so much pressure, uhm, we need to stay out of your area so ... let's see, want some Cajun food? Chinese?

RE: Cowboys and lesbians

Nothing else on, just flipping. Yeah, the colder weather can cause such problems - at least they are not bleeding!

RE: The ultimate

K, but you can pick the spot, if you like.

RE: Cowboys and lesbians

You're giving the show another chance? I've been having a problem with that lately, even though I always wear a bra.

RE: Cowboys and lesbians

Lady on Weeds "I'm wearing a bra, so stop looking for my nipples." You can use that line on whomever...

He will :)

Poison those rodents!!

RE: The ultimate

Okay, so let me know, you still have to get through the night.

RE: The ultimate

Sure. I'll be all better by then.

RE: Cowboys and lesbians

True.

Ha. I'd like him to meet a nice man to clean up after.

The mice are doing dances over here. They ain't scared.

RE: Cowboys and lesbians

Well, you know more than one thing.

Yeah, he is waiting for the ban to be lifted as well :)

RE: The ultimate

Your welcome.

Of course, if you are feeling okay.

RE: Cowboys and lesbians

Maybe...if there's one thing I know, it's football, and I say they'll have a standout season! ;)

That was my first thought. Finally, the truth is coming out. Or they're just

RE: The ultimate

Thank you. :)

Still interested in lunch tomorrow? A break from work?

RE: Cowboys and lesbians

Haha, and, Remember Danny - Two wrongs don't make a right but three rights make a left.

Maybe a tough fought victory like that will build character and confidence for the rest of the season.

Maybe what's her name is really a guy?

RE: Cowboys and lesbians

When you buy a hat like that, you get a free bowl of soup? Oh, it looks good on you, though.

Yeah, I heard about the Hawkeyes. Doesn't bode well for the season. Watching the big game now?

This is an imaginative excuse:

$50 says he picks his nose, another $50 says he eats it.

Yeah, another exciting Saturday night :( I won't!

Your Hawkeye's barely escaped with a victory today.

RE: Cowboys and lesbians

Cool. NNNNnoooooonan!

Yeah, I think a bit. Slept and having some fruity tea. Another exciting Saturday nite. Don't get sick!

RE: Cowboys and lesbians

I'm already there :)

Feeling any better? Hang in there, it'll pass.

RE: Cowboys and lesbians

An oldie but a goodie.

Channel 59!!

Cowboys and lesbians

An old cowboy dressed to kill with a cowboy shirt, hat, jeans, spurs, and chaps went to a bar and ordered a drink. As he sat sipping his whiskey, a young lady sat down next to him.

After she ordered her drink, she turned to the cowboy and asked him, "Are you a real cowboy?"

To which he replied, "Well, I have spent my whole life on the ranch, herding cows, breaking horses, mending fences. I guess I am."

After a short while, he asked her what she was.

She replied, "I am a lesbian. I spend my whole day thinking about women. As soon as I get up in the morning I think of women, when I eat, shower, watch TV, everything seems to make me think of women."

A short while later she left and the cowboy ordered another drink.

A couple sat down next to him and asked, "Are you a real cowboy?"

To which he replied, "I always thought I was, but I just found out that I'm a lesbian."

RE: The ultimate

Yeah, you were obviously not feeling too hot. Don't go falling asleep while driving! Well, get plenty of rest, I hope you feel better soon - let me know if you need anything.

RE: The ultimate

Hey, thanks for meeting me and sorry I was out of it. I really felt spacey.

I guess I am getting sick all over again, and I just cross my fingers that I don't make you sick. It's going to be an exciting weekend for me -- trying to sleep off this cold. Could barely keep my eyes open on the drive.

Take care and drink some OJ or something to ward off germs.

Thank you for taking me to get dougnuts. You are sweet.

RE: The ultimate

I was thinking 11, but yes it is confusing, so I'll see you whenever you get there. Sorry.

RE: The ultimate

Hm, That first part is a bit confusing. 11 or 12?

RE: The ultimate

Can we do noon? I have to go by the office and check on some stuff. If not, I can go later, no, just meet at noon, I'll go by the office later.

The pics were fine. It's weird, all of that stuff is so important now.

Actually, none of it was important (to me) when I was in high school.

I just couldn't wait to get out of there.

See you soon.

Re: The ultimate

Yeah.

How about meeting at Borders at 11 tomorrow?

How were the pics?

RE: The ultimate

You're such a geek.

RE: How long is too long?

G'night.

RE: How long is too long?

Can't help it.

Yeah, it's a nice one.

Wow, that was a good show. Everybody thought it was the dad -- but it was the mom. I guess it's time for me to drug myself up and try to sleep some more. G'night, Tony. Sleep well.

RE: How long is too long?

You always gotta be different.

Wow, that is a big ... he took my line!

RE: How long is too long?

Wild berry zinger. Fruity.

Good. Now I don't want to hear any more about any puking.

Here you go: http://www.nelson-atkins.org/art/KCSP/Interactive/index.cfm

RE: How long is too long?

Fruit tea? Is that tea with lemon or something special?

I had some roasted chicken, stomach seems to be back to normal.

RE: How long is too long?

Thank you. :)

I had some fruit tea. I can have the chocolate tea next. With some chocolate chips...

You eat anything today? Stomach okay now?

RE: How long is too long?

The only way to take that comment.

Nope, no delivery, oh, chocolate tea?

RE: How long is too long?

Hm. Ok, I take that as a compliment.

If only I could make that happen. Does the doughnut shop deliver? If I lived in NY, I could probably get them delivered. This tea just isn't the same.

RE: How long is too long?

You're like no guy I've ever met.

Wow, could life get any better? Only if doughnuts appear!

RE: How long is too long?

Hm. Yes, but I'm like a guy. I won't go to the doctor for much.

So true, so true. Hey, a two-part L&O with a Homicide: Life on the Street tie-in. I'm so happy. :)

RE: How long is too long?

Hmm, I guess "the same" isn't good. Maybe go to a doctor since it has been hanging around for quite some time?

There's more to life than money :)

RE: How long is too long?

I"m sure the doughnuts will take care of it. Feel about the same.

Just call it MONEY, instead.

RE: How long is too long?

Not feeling any better? Doughnuts always help.

I hate Nascar (I was told you're supposed to capitalize it as NASCAR) more every day.

RE: How long is too long?

Yeah, along with lots of other stuff. Mm, doughnuts might be on my morning agenda. I'm sick, I deserve it.

Oo, big Nascar race Saturday night. You're watching, right?

RE: How long is too long?

Okay.

The doughnuts are gone, the mice ate'm.

RE: How long is too long?

Try harder. You're working every day and every night!

It means CHUNG CHUNG. Hm, they're eating doughnuts. I want a doughnut.

RE: How long is too long?

Yes, nobody wants cancer to return.

I'm trying.

What does that mean?

RE: How long is too long?

She's in good spirits. Oh, it also all means she can't have kids. Tried in vitro first, but that didn't work. Anyway, it's good that she's finally doing this. She's been putting if off but the doctors say it's important so the cancer doesn't come back.

Well, stoppit!

Ohhhhh, of course. How exciting for him. And, in other news, Law and Order is on.

RE: How long is too long?

Yeah, she seems ready for some good news.

I know :/

Phillies' first basemen hit his 54th home run of the season :)

RE: How long is too long?

She had cancer and now she has to do this. Pretty tough.

Sunday is a work day? You really do work too much.

What does that mean?

RE: How long is too long?

Ouch. Yeah, that is a long time.

I have no plans this weekend, well no plans Saturday which sadly I consider the weekend since I think of Sundays as a work day :/

Oh, Howard hit # 54.

RE: How long is too long?

Did I tell you that my friend (not from work) is going to have surgery tomorrow? She has to have a hysterectomy and will be recovering for six weeks. I didn't know there were such long recoveries for surgeries anymore.

Seems like they kick everyone out after a day. Well, I guess she won't be in the hospital all that time, but she has to take six weeks off work.

I have no plans for the weekend. What are you doing?

RE: How long is too long?

You'll have to share them with your buddy.

No time for football.

What are you doing this weekend?

RE: How long is too long?

Uhoh! Ah, it probably won't do anything one way or another, but I'll try it.
I'm just so congested and it won't go away.

You always fix those bugs/problems. Now it's football time!!!

RE: How long is too long?

My doctor told me 39 months is the maximum time you should keep something past the expired date ;) Well, something that old, you may have quite an experience! Not feeling any better?

Ugh, I am or was so frustrated, but I finally fixed a Nascar issue. I need to go take a walk.

How long is too long?

I found some meds in the cabinet from another time I had bad congestion. Is
3 and a half years past the expiration date too long? We'll find out!

RE: Thanks

Baloney scent! I have this image of the little one running around and a fire starting.

Not touching it? He's supposed to look at the ground when around you.

The client is right ;)

I was sleeping good and then I woke up, you know where you toss and turn a bit and then fully wake up and realize you'll be puking sooner or later.

Feeling bad? Yes, some rest should help. You shouldn't have gone to the gym the other night - when you're sick!

RE: Thanks

I'll give you a full report. And a candle. What scent would you like?

Okay, I'm staying away from that one.

You are wrong???

Yeah, that is the worst feeling. And it interfered with your good night of sleep! Hm, I have been sneezing all day -- that is new. I think I am having a relapse. I may finish up a few things and leave early and lie down. This stupid cold.

RE: Thanks

Yes, you can't miss the party.

Well, they know better than messing with our white women.

No, he's right and I am wrong. I'll change it and send it to him. My hands are fine, but lying on the bathroom floor drenched in sweat was not fine - and then waiting to vomit

RE: Thanks

Oh, I've gotta ask her if she's going to the candle party!

I gave him a look and he is speechless. It's all under control over here.

Oh, maybe you'll feel like arguing with him again later. It's early yet. ;)

Mm hmm.

RE: Thanks

Uh, I don't have enough bread or baloney .. or mustard!

Or, you can say "look mf'er, I don't know what you THINK you saw, but it's in your best interest to forget it, you hear me?"

I only stayed at work a couple hours and left. I'm now fixing some project stuff. I felt like arguing with the guy, but why bother?

My hands are fine, I was just messing with you :)

RE: Thanks

Yeah, and she wants one too -- with extra mustard.

Hardy har har Serves him right.

I'll try that. How many people have you yelled at today so far? Anything breaking/broken?

How are your hands? Cramped?

RE: Thanks

You want one? The mustard makes it!

Well, you kept him out late last night.

Wait until he goes to the break room and approach him. Grab him by the shirt collar, push against the wall, and say "look mf'er, don't be f'ing with me, now what did you see?"

RE: Thanks

:)

Lots of IMing, yes. He looks like he's about to die -- oh, I have to go wake him up now.

I'm not sure -- I didn't ask what I was doing at the time. And I'm not going to!

RE: Thanks

Uh, no baloney sandwich today.

Nothing exciting, more IM'ing??

Oh, he saw you walking? What time? Dag, everybody is following you!

RE: Thanks

With mustard, mmmm.

That is good news. All done with puking? My day is going okay. Nothing too exciting.

Here's something... Ainsley told me (IM'd me) that he saw me at the park last night. I asked him why he didn't stop (I remember your advice on that) and he said he was driving by looking for an open tennis court, but didn't see one. Not sure when that occurred.

RE: Thanks

Don't go blaming the baloney! It is the best.

I'm feeling better. How's your day going?

RE: Thanks

Wow, that sounds terrible. Was it the baloney?

I'm feeling good. Stuffed up, but that is no change from the last week. Feel better. :)

Thanks

Lovely to spend time with you last night, as always. And thank you for my gifts. I'm going to dig into that book. Did you put your pajamas on and sleep, sleep, sleep like I told you?

Two seconds

That's how long it took after I logged onto IM before I had two people messaging me. I'm sure the rest are coming soon....

RE: You think you're funny

Oops, yes.

RE: You think you're funny

Uh, I guess this is a response to the other message.

RE: You think you're funny

You deserve a high-brow name ;)

I'm ignoring this subject - it seems like a landmine I should avoid.

Ah, yours is too sick.

RE: You think you're funny

Okay, that's better.

Uh, you don't care if WE get fat? I don't think so.

My mom gets on my last nerve, too. We can trade.

RE: You think you're funny

Okay, that's better.

Uh, you don't care if WE get fat? I don't think so.

My mom gets on my last nerve, too. We can trade.

RE: You think you're funny

Oh, yeah, but I always feel weird about doing it with your site since certain people tend to know my feelings and then I figure too much will be read into it and, oh I am nuts. Sorry.

RE: You think you're funny

Oh, okay, but really you're Rasputin.

Sure thing.

Women are insane about the weight thing. Just get fat and out-of-shape like us men - we don't care (note, this does not include whats his name).

My mom is back in the spot where she gets on my last nerve with just about everything she says. I can't explain it and I'm not proud o fit, it just happens. You can invite me over when you're mom is there, we'll sit around and talk about you - she'll laugh but then you may cry. There's no winning!

RE: You think you're funny

Yeah, but you call others nut. I want my own name.

Maybe I'll take that siding guy's name.

She looks the same as always, and she always will. She barely works out and both of them absolutely refuse to stop eating like linebackers. Oh, and they're both kinda mad at me because I've been losing weight. Today, they had signs and stuff up at the Y about some kind of weight loss program.

I mentioned it to my friend, and she said "I'm not interested!" and stomped off.
So...

Yeah...moms are great. For a few minutes. I need to find some funny movies or something to prevent her from crying.

RE: You think you're funny

I'll stick with 'nut'.

The siding guy was driving me nuts - telling me all kinds of shit. He didn't know he already had the sale since I had already talked to others and really the price tag is very good. Okay, enough of that talk - but, yes it is horrible writing that check.

How is Kesha's ass looking? I have no clue on bathing suits, but I could see where you could have a problem.

Nothing exciting, Mom was okay, it was nice to see my aunt. They didn't stay too long. At least mom didn't come and stay with me for a couple days ;)

RE: You think you're funny

You can call me whenever, whatever you want.

Ha ha. I suppose it'll have to be done at some point. I just hate the thought of that price tag. Especially for resale, like you say.

I went to the gym and had a good workout. Then I went to the mall and tried to find a swimsuit, but I couldn't find anything that fit right. I'm not that big -- except on top, and they don't cover the way I want. WTF?

How about you? Oh, how was mom's visit?

RE: You think you're funny

I guess that means I have to quit calling you the devil?

No, you look great. Oh, the house? Well, I'm sure you can afford it if you really want it. I'm more of a nut, the problems drive me crazy (like the mice). It has been on my list for awhile. Besides, I'm not planning on retiring, so I'm not worrying about that ;)

Fun evening?

RE: You think you're funny

If you use it, yes. People follow you.

Too bad I don't have project work. I have rotten spots, the siding is shot, pieces falling off, paint is peeling, etc. etc.

I'm glad you can take care of it.

RE: You think you're funny

Think it'll catch on although it isn't really a plexiform version of your name?

Yeah, but the paint is peeling and falling off, woodpeckers had a field day on the back corner, spot on back above the roof is rotten, shutters are falling apart, some of the boards are warped, and the garage is a mess. It needs to be handled before winter hits and it is beyond my capabilities. Plus, it raises the resell value. It is an investment and one of the reasons I took the project work. How's that for 'splaining?

RE: You think you're funny

Yeah, that's right. Kat? Not bad.

'spensive.

RE: You think you're funny

Well, you know a lot. Hmm, maybe that is short for your name?

Yeah, it has to be done. It covers the garage as well and new shutters, gutters, gutter guards and blah blah blah.

RE: You think you're funny

Maybe so but I know what I know.

Thanks for the tip. I won't bother to call the siding folks. Are you going to do it?

RE: You think you're funny

You're a nut.

The damage for siding - $8000.

RE: You think you're funny

Dag, tough crowd!

And you think you have a big shuttlecock. Oh, wait....

You think you're funny

RE: Everything and nothing

No, the washcloth was needed for something else.

Thanks and sorry.

RE: Everything and nothing

Mm, a cold washcloth on the forehead can help with that redness.

RE: Everything and nothing

I wasn't blushing, I had my pants down and my face was red because ....

Just kidding.

RE: Everything and nothing

Aw, even cute when you're blushing.

RE: Everything and nothing

I'm not sure about that, but thank you.

RE: Everything and nothing

You're cute.

RE: Everything and nothing

You're a nut.

RE: Everything and nothing

np

My pleasure. :) And thank you.

RE: Everything and nothing

Yes, please meet me!

Thanks for today :)

RE: Everything and nothing

Hm, I was going to ask if you wanted to meet me, too. Should I meet you there?

RE: Everything and nothing

Well, I like the way you see things and you always have good stories to share.

Nah, no doctors, I'll be okay.

You're a nut ;)

I think I'm going to catch a movie - everybody tells me to see Little Miss Sunshine, it is showing at 12:55. I'm sure you're busy or probably still sick, but you're invited. If not, I'll stop by after the movie - just kidding.

How's the cough?

RE: Everything and nothing

Yup, talking with you is the best. I miss the time when we saw each other more. I'm always saving up stuff, things I want to tell you. Not that my life is exciting, but you make it so much more interesting with the way you see things.

Would a trip to the doctor or therapist be a good idea right now? You mentioned that it's been getting worse daily, so I wonder.

Don't have any regrets about sharing yourself with me. You are precious to me and we each have gifts that we have given and can give the other. You know, there are people in the world who never meet someone who can fill them up, show them love, make them think, drive them crazy. ;) Poor saps.

RE: Everything and nothing

It is always great talking to you. That was the first thing I noticed about you (long ago) - how much I enjoyed just sitting and talking (and listening) to you. It does hurt, I'm so sorry. I should have never reached out to you, I don't regret the time I've spent with you, but I do regret causing so much pain (that continues). I want you to smile. And, you have nothing to do with me feeling bad, so don't think that way. My dark days have little to do with you or anyone else, it just seems to be one of those things.

I didn't go to my friend's house, just didn't feel like it. I'm tired, so I'm going to try to get some sleep. I do hope you are feeling better, and don't go sleeping on any bathroom floors ;)

RE: Everything and nothing

I want you to share your feelings with me. I hate it when you don't. But I can't force you to. The problem is that I want to see you and talk to you and touch you so badly. It hurts down deep inside. I suppose it's wrong that I'm glad that you feel the same way? It's a strange feeling. I hate that you're feeling so bad and that I had any part in it. I suppose it's best that you go spend time with your friend. That will be good for you. You don't need me to get you sick on top of everything else.

RE: Meet

Thanks, I appreciate the offer. I'm embarrassed by that other message, I'm really sorry. Besides, I wouldn't be very good company. My buddy wants me to come over and watch the game later, so I guess I'll go over there. Again, I'm sorry for all the crap I keep shoveling your way.

I hope you're feeling better.

RE: Everything and nothing

I didn't mean to imply I only wanted you physically - I always enjoy spending time with you. I'm sorry if it came out that way.

I apologize for sending this message. I need to keep things to myself and leave you alone. I hope you were or are able to get some rest.

Meet

I can meet you today if you want and we can talk. Just let me know when and where.

RE: Everything and nothing

Yes, everything still matters. If you're feeling down, it's going to get better. Like the other times.

I'm not sorry I fell in love with you. I'm sorry for the way things worked out, and all the pain, but I've tried to make the best of it. It's difficult to see you because I still want you, but I've learned that that is something I need to keep to myself. I try not to think about it. Sometimes, I'm successful, sometimes I'm not. It hurts to think that you've reached the point where you want me physically, but that's it. I think about holding you and helping you try to relax. You used to say that I did that for you. I do think about sex, too. I don't think of it as having been a failure. I just regret that we didn't share more of it. I think it would have been special.
But it wasn't meant to be.

I know it has to be so difficult at home right now. But I still think you can work it out. I'll never forget the look on your face at the skate park when I asked you about her not wanting to be around you and whether you wanted to be around her. It was all right there.

I've been up (again) for awhile. Going to try to lie down again.

Everything and nothing

Your last IM on Friday sticks with me - you said everything matters. Is that true? Because I was just at the point where nothing matters ;

As I said repeatedly, I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry for what happened, my behavior and everything. I'm not sorry for loving you, but I'm sorry I got you to love me. And, I'm sorry for still wanting you every time I see you. I wanted to leave and meet you anywhere tonight, but as you said - what's done is done. I want you in my arms. I want to kiss you. I want to hear your crazy stories. I want to hear you belch. Funny, thinking about sex, I was a failure with that with you - since I could never actually do it, so you know you're not missing anything there. But, nothing would feel better than your body, but then again that doesn't make everything else disappear. Besides, I'd only cause you more pain. How do I stop myself from wanting you? Is it possible? When I'm around you, it is like the old days when everything was still in my head and I just fantasized about touching, holding, and kissing you. Yes, I know, it is all my fault. I was going to ask you about any free time you'd have tomorrow, but I didn't because it seems wrong of me to ask for anything from you. I've done enough damage.

I try to make everything work out in my head, but it never pans out. It has been such a long weekend so far. I've been really depressed - for no reason, but it happens. I know you don't want to hear that crap. I'm so sorry I pulled you into my crazy world. I know I'm the biggest pain in the ass.

You're going to find your happiness and then you can put me behind you. You deserve it. You deserve so much.

I guess I should apologize for this email right now. It seems fine as I reread it, but it probably isn't. There are so many things in my head these days. I just wish they'd all go away. It just seems to get worse everyday. I would love to lay back and relax - no worries, let the world slip away. I guess I thought the pot would provide a break, but no. I guess relief will come eventually.

Hope you are sleeping well. I imagine you with those beautiful eyes closed having sweet dreams.

RE: o

Yes, as you should be. People should be grateful for the time they get with you.

That sounds like as much fun as a barrel of monkeys. Fuck heaven.

It's all about perspective in how you see it. Losing time isn’t bad, there's enough to go around.

Don't eat your hair!!

RE: o

I'm always remembered!

He actually had the barrel of monkeys. And he was really getting into it, playing with them, hooking them together, making the analogy about how we're all connected and how we're that much closer to heaven. Or something. It was kind of funny. Something I've never seen in a wedding before. I didn't talk to the priest, but I was relieved that the church didn't erupt in a fireball when I entered. I'd hate to see all my friends go that way. It was a very ugly church from the outside, but inside was beautiful. It had all these floor to ceiling windows, so that we were looking out on a wooded area.
Beautiful. And this woman sang Ave Maria -- she was mesmerizing.
Unbelievable voice.

Yeah, it was a gregarious night. Several friends were in from out of town, so that was cool.

I choose to call it falling asleep. I don't know what I did. I obviously lost some time there. It was kind of funny tonight at her house because everyone was still so tired from last night.

Mm, my hair smells like cookies.

RE: o

Don't worry, they have you in their sight ;)

Okay, that made me laugh - you interrupting the wedding. You just love being remembered, don't you?

What the hell kind of analogy was that? Did you have a long conversation with the priest? Did he recognize you?

You are quite gregarious! I don't think "fell asleep" is the right wording, but no big deal. What did you do??

RE: o

No way am I crawling the crawl space. Yuck. They have to come to me.

Yup that's about it. No, I didn't expect anyone to stand up and stop it. I think part of it was that I didn't eat all day and we didn't eat at the reception til around ten. I was a bit lightheaded. But Liz and I had trouble finding the place, including wrong turns, a roadblock and no sign on the church. We ran in and literally cut off the wedding party as they were starting down the aisle, with the groom yelling at us, "go, go, go!"

Then it was this long ceremony with a band, and this blessing thing where we all had to hold up hands in a Heil Hitler thing. And the priest did this whole analogy with a barrel of monkeys. Remember that toy? Weird.

And then there were so many people that I knew there. I can't remember when I've talked to so many people in one day. We went to the reception and there was this film crew from some TV show. I couldn't quite figure what that was about. They and the photographers were very aggressive. Then I finally got food, which was great, but I had too much wine and danced too much and broke the camera and went home, got sick, fell asleep on bathroom floor, got woken up, got sick again, apparently did something (?) and then was so tired all day today. It was a full night.

RE: o

Forget the traps, go to the source!! Prepare to enter the crawlspace!! (sounds like advertising for a new movie)

Yeah, the more you think about NOT doing it, the more you have to do it - the tickle in the back of the throat, a light sweat sweeps your forehead, you KNOW everybody is watching you, you try a light forced cough to nip it in the bud, but nope - it just keeps coming and then you're apologizing and excusing yourself as the coughing fit ensues.

Weird? Did you expect somebody to stand up and stop it? Did you expect to remember the whole night? ;)

Crap, I'm wide awake.

RE: o

Arachnophiles.

I never saw Ben, but I know there was more than one. They are laying low, but they'll be back. Traps are laid.

Lucky you that you're not with me then. :)

Yes, I love that. A bug is always going around. That's what bugs do! I hate when you go to something like a wedding with a cough. I kept trying not to cough, and then do it when some music was playing loudly or something. Tricky timing. And the wedding was looooong. The whole night seemed weird to me. Like nothing went as I expected.

RE: o

Yeah, I did watch the spider rebuild his trap for a bit. I figured people would see me and think I am stoned (who else would watch that).

I don't think one dead compadre deters the rest of the pack. You ever see Ben?

I guess so :)

Oh, poor thing, don't you love it when people say "a bug is going around"?

RE: o

He might like that story. I like spiders, I don't know why people are so anti-spider. There is a huge one that keeps building and rebuilding a web outside the window at work. Amazing how quickly they do it.

Haven't seen or heard any mice for a couple of days. But I'm sure we haven't seen the last of them.

So I guess that is a no and a no.

Yes, I'm still sick, not hung over any more.

RE: o

Yeah, and so forth - a bunch of nothing that didn't merit their own listing :) Wow, there is this huge ass spider on the garage side door. A big ass web - I was out there last night and watched as this big flying bug got trapped in it and the spider went to work with a pretty cocoon minutes later. Today the trapped bug is gone, so where did the spider take it? Okay, that may confirm my boring-ness - 'cause I think what's his name would like to hear about it.

I filled in the cracks and any openings I could find. I didn't see anything moving.

A guy I know is mad at me because I returned the invitation to his daughter's wedding as a "not attending". He says he isn't, but his actions say otherwise. Shit, I don't even know his daughter. And, I get enough sports already :)

Still sick or hungover?

RE: o

And so forth???

Did you find anything under the house?

You're not boring, not by a long shot. You want to go to weddings? Lie around and watch football? Does that sound exciting?

I've been sleeping off and on. I keep coughing and waking myself up so it's kind of hard.

RE: o

Sounds good, I know how much you like your cookies ;)

RE: o

Yeah, it was fun. No, she didn't undress me or put me to bed. But I did partially undress her in the car after the wedding because she was having a bra malfunction.

Had tacos and watched football tonight. And cookies. :)

RE: o

I like how you told me which eye was working. Well, I guess you had a good time at the party? Did she undress you and put you to bed? Nah, not much sports watching today. Hope you have/are having fun at tonight's party.

RE: o

Hi,

I got sick. Weird, I don't remember being up at 3 or going to the computer.
I have no idea what the eye thing was about. Both seem to be working and I didn't get beat up. I wonder what else I got up to last night? I am an idiot. Sorry about the e-mail.

Think I'm going to go eat something, stomach is empty. :)

Watching more sports today? There's lots to choose from.

RE: o

What'd you do? I hope you didn't get beat up (the one eye reference). No game, it was rained out - a boring night. Hope you get some rest and feel somewhat better tomorrow. Talk to you soon :)

o

well i did it again
hope you had a good night. how was the game?
I can only see out of one eye. right eye. miss talking to you.
nighit,

RE: o

Well, nothing as exciting as you. Talking to you and others makes me realize how boring I really am. Anyway, some work, reading, ventured under the house (my own horror movie), eating, and so forth.

You should be sleeping!

RE: o

And what have you been up to?

RE: Things

Uh, never watched it.

Did you clean up mouse droppings? Who is this friend? Oh, tomorrow is the big wedding.

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were feeling better - get some rest.

I'm okay, worked late. I ended up smoking a joint with some people at work - four/five hits and nothing.

Hope you feel better soon.
