Be sure to use the special Haterade (tm) tassels if you perform!!
Oh, I envy you! I love a good burlesque show. Maybe I'll make that my special birthday outing this fall...Twas a kickass weekend for me, Spokesmodel. Burlesque show with a friend getting proposed to, Manhattan exploration, and a surprise from another friend... Fantastic. Good to hear you had fun too.
Hello FAWTLies! It's been a whirlwind of a weekend and early week, what with basement flooding, water heater repair, doctor and dentist appointments, baby showers, gaming, baseball games, and finding out I (and the rest of my unit at work) will be relocated to another floor in the building within the next month. We knew the relocation was coming, but had previously been told it would happen 'after the reorganization', which is hung up in HR at our parent agency. Now we're moving first and reorganizing later. So life's going to be more hectic at work than it has been.
I've only had time to skim the last few days worth of posts. What's been going on with all of you?
Youse wants me to have a conversation with em, boss?
There is this strange zen place where you realize that it doesn't really matter anymore if the person that has been mistreating you, insulting you and using you is doing it out of an actual inability to understand how cruel they are being or out of a desire to deliberately hurt you.
There is that one last act that says "I don't care how much I hurt you, as long as it makes things easier on me," that pushes you past all the hurt and the pain.
Hmm...a little cathartic yelling also helped!
Ahh. Zen. Done.

You really think this is easy on me? I tried to be understanding, to give you space when you asked for it. All the while, watching you post about me here, yet keeping my mouth shut because hurting you was something I was trying very hard to avoid. (' Well I never used your name', as if that makes it ok.)
Well, enough of that s*%#. You want to puke all over fawtl? Ok. Whatever, but my days of letting you do so without reply are through.
Mistreating you, I'll give you that one. I handled it all poorly, which I tried to apologize for. But insulting? Using? No, sorry. Not done that.
I really enjoyed having you as a friend. It's a shame you head to react too a single awkward date as if we'd had a serious long term relationship that I had betrayed.
I wish you well

Guys... I humbly and with all contrition ask y'all try and delete these posts.
Getting this thread scrubbed or locked would be a detriment to the community.
The duck. What other species if you tell it to get down will look right at you like you called it?
Now that's just fowl talk.
Wokka Wokka Wokka!

Two in a row!
Aren't the beans supposed to be separated by the frank? Freaky badgah.

Found out last night that when the bedroom temp is over 90 degrees F, the cool cement basement floor turns out to be amazingly comfortable!

Buddies of mine had an attempted mugging years ago. They were at the main park and had just finished fencing. As in fighter practice with real epees. Still wearing body armor. Guy comes up with a knife and demands all their money. It was like a scene from Crocodile Dundee. "That's not a knife..." They laughed about it for a good two years.
Me anytime something like that happened they had a rifle or a finger in their jacket that looked like a gun.

You should marry it.

So, um, chicken or turkey, which one is Nature's dumbest bird?
Bawk!

That's an idea. Maybe I should sleep with a wet blanket to cool off. Can't imagine that would be the least bit hot.

good luck CH
we found Bethesda Terrace quite nice (and saw a giant snapping turtle in the lake there)
at the lake there was a gazebo called ladys point or something like that, it was near strawberry fields, you could sit on the rocks at the water watching the rowboats and have the city above the trees
( there a re pics in my photo bucket)

I don't know about either of those two, but there's a bird living in and around my parent's backyard who is always attacking his own reflection in the window of my dad's workshop.So, um, chicken or turkey, which one is Nature's dumbest bird?
Lots of animals do that. There's billions of cat videos where a cat freaks out at its own reflection.
Hold on...I've got to deal with this home intruder who looks suspiciously like my twin...

I had a Midwesterner's trepadation about visting NYC (and actually California too, which I had understood to be an overcrowded hellhole with no water, subject to constant earthquakes and fires, and chock full of immoral behavior - all of which was confirmed, but that's neither here nor there), but found that I enjoyed visiting the city for the first time a year or so ago. I wouldn't want to live there, but being in NYC made me appreciate the power and scope of the empire I inhabit. The city felt like an enormous clockwork organism, with all these abstract movements of capital and resources made real by the constant flurry of humans and machines operating at all hours.
All in all, I'm glad I went - it changed my perception of NYC from "that self-important over-exposed sludge pit" to "that self-important over-exposed sludge pit with the heart of an empire beating within."

Well crap, now I know I'll never go.
What conscussionns?How many fingers am I holding up?
Sixteen. Damn Rugby...
....and saw a giant snapping turtle in the lake there...I hate when giant turtles snap. You'd think their lives weren't that stressful.It was probably all, "I'm walkin' here!" in Turtlese.

I'll just say that after growing up in a small rural town, then 8 years of living in a Phoenix suburb, I've come to the realization that I really don't like urban environments and leave it at that. =)

See I love urban environments. You can see people and hear people, but none of them ever expect you to actually interact with them. It's awesome!
...also there is significantly less driveway shoveling than when one lives in a house in the country. Country driveways are usually basically roads. >.<

'Cept I like the quiet <_<
And the SPACE!!! Urban zones are too crowded >_<
Saw one too many back roads in Wyoming this summer. The butt has the bruises to prove it. You'd think a state would have some type of civil engineering.
Smooth roads for me when I venture to the comic book store. I'm off the forum for a bit. Keep it safe.
