I met a nice young lady on Friday night.
She was going to Baylor Medical next fall, and was interested in pathology. I was telling her about our resident pathologist (aka Spicy Jack) and thought it mighjt be nice if they had a nice chat to get a better handle on what to expect.
Anyway, I thught about it for a bit, and then decided I would like to see her tits and fondle her bum again, so I gave her another $20 and ordered another round of drinks while she got her kit off.

I like the tycoon games. They're really fun. I like that on the rollercoaster one, you get to dunk people in the lakes. That's always been a source of enjoyment to me.

I have to go driving with my driver's ed teacher today. Pray that I don't turn into a lane of oncoming traffic, as I almost did last Thursday. It's not that I'm a bad driver. I was just really nervous. I'm sure it'll be better this time.

[imdrsmooth]

Oh, lunch. Definitely lunch. She wants to go there for lunch.

[nycwriters]

She sucks, you know this right?

[imdrsmooth]

Can't you meet us there for lunch?

[nycwriters]

Dunno man ... I'll try, but I work Sunday.

Suck :( I can ask her but I'm sure she doesn't want to go to NY any other time since the wedding is Saturday.

[nycwriters]

Awww Clytie ... I hate it because it berates women. It makes women feel inadequate and all the articles are borderline misogynistic (wear spiked heels and meet him at the door in a see-through negligee -- that'll stop your man from cheating --- well how about a man being bloody faithful? what about the word "committment?" It's negligable for the male race? pfft, don't think so)

... although it is changing, perhaps there's some hope.

*sorry, I ranted. I'll shut up now.

a good rant. but maybe some middle ground is possible. men should be faithful. rewarding their faithfulness with a bit of passion and some dress up playfulness might not be a bad thing either.

[nycwriters]

It shouldn't be a matter of behave/reward. It should be a given.

The rest should come out of real affection for the person you're with.

[masterofNone]

so... unconditional faithfulness?

[nycwriters]

I'm trying to figure out what you mean by that. My initial gut reaction is this:

If I'm going to give it to the man I love, I wouldn't accept anything less back.

-----------

However, everything in life has conditions.

I would think that the ability to love and feel loved by the person you're involved with, and them being a responsible mature adult respectful of the boundaries of that relationship; that would be something most people would want, no?

[masterofNone]

yeah, i think faithfulness is a natural outgrowth of two people who have a mutual and abiding attraction, respect and commitment to each other. but if one partner starts to drop the ball, to unilaterally stop bathing (for example - or stops showing the other that they find them attractive) or start showing overt disrespect (or even failing to overtly show their respect)... then the other partner is going to start looking around for an exit strategy... consciously or unconsciously.

no?

[nycwriters]

What about that kind of committment over the long haul? What if things get stinky for an extended period of time -- say six months? Shouldn't the overarching feelings of love and respect be maintained? Or should one just give up and look for an exit strategy?

[masterofNone]

i was actually in a situation like this. the last year of my marriage. i stayed faithful and tried, day after day, to reslove the situation and continue the relationship. so, for me, i think you should stay faithful... but after that i don't fault others in a similar situation who've decided to seek happiness elsewhere. i guess there's no rule book. it's to each his/her own.

[nycwriters]

True enough. There are exceptions to every rule out there.

-----------

On another random note: Who has been praying to St. Jude for me? I found not only my lost house keys, but my work pass within two minutes of getting home. Remarkable. I thought they were lost forever.

Gotta give 'em a few more weeks to mature. They still ain't as hot as they can be, so I'm letting them ripen a bit more. After that, nachos, tacos, burritos, enchiladas, chili, you name it!

I am sorry I missed this little chat. MY husband is laid back to the point of me checking him with a mirror for breath, but he is admamant on this subject. His biggest bitch about Kobe Bryant is that he was unfaithful to his wife and he feels that fact is being swept under the carpet. He can give you a 10 minute disertation on this subject, and he does everytime someone mentions Bryant's name.

Things you can't see:

The huge buckets of dog food beside the back door.
The huge buckets of cat food and cat litter beside the table.
The loose cat litter strewn across the floor. I have to sweep every day.
The litter box under the table.
The mound of laundry that prevents one from reaching the back door every Friday night.

Personally, I prefer waiting in the den for the dryer to finish!

But, y'all are right, it is pretty! I'm proud of it!

I think your laundry room is the size of my whole apt.

Love the hibiscus.

This is how kids toys are packaged now... makes me crazy. Just a Barbie-type doll w/accessories takes aprx. 30mins of unpackaging by a trained professional to get the damn thing open. Every last tiny part is twisty-wired to the cardboard. :rolleyes:

The only thing worse I can think of is the poor underpaid people who have to package this stuff!

[nycwriters]

Kids toys? HP cartriges?! Try freakin' prilosec or benadryl ... they're vacuum sealed and you have to peel off a layer of paper before you can open the freakin' medication. It's a pain in the you know what.

try this (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000C3IDW/qid=1087520842/sr=8-2/ref=pd_ka_2/002-7105784-4801642?v=glance&s=electronics&n=507846) ... it's $13 a cartridge and you can replace them individually: two blacks, one yellow, one cyan, one magenta. And it makes wicked repros.

[masterofNone]

ah. see... there. you've shown me why i frustrate myself. my printer makes fantastic prints. i love my little all in one printer/scanner/fax/copier. i just wish the feckin cartridges came packaged a little less adamantine. and while we're at it... how much of a pain is it to open dvd's. christ.

[Audreyvgs]

What the hell is that sticky strip on the dvd's anyway? You scratch it off with your fingernail, and then can't get it off of your fingers.

I have you all beat tho, I bought Bink a present for Xms, and I counted 65 wires, all twisted in the back. and real live screws. Took an hour to undo.

I always thought that polaroid also overdid it with like 5 exterior layers of packaging. Tinsnips required also!

AND WHATS WITH THE FREAKIN SINUS PILLS...!!!!!! All those little blister packages, with break off plastic corners, and foil you never know whether to bend off a corner,peel it off the corner, or just poke it thru the foil, but no matter what you do, a little corner of that sharp plastic is going to go under your fingernail.!!!!!!!

[Aphrodite]

Why did my HP printer start printing only in pink??? I changed the colour cartridge...still pink!

[chuckie egg]

My Mum finally got her plaster cast off today :D

I really hope it stops throwing it down, I have an outdoor Chilis concert to go to!!

Reminds me of a dog I had we named Buckaroo Banzai. Buck for short.
Very loving and gentle towards us and anyone we brought into the backyard. Everyone else had to stay away! I miss him.
Thanks for posting that, Clytie, beautiful picture.

My room mate in college (Beth) had one. Her name was Christine (she made the Christine in Stephen King's book look mild). That dog hated and bit everyone except for Beth. Christine cornered me in my room once. I fought the dog off with a broom.

Swingers may be the best movie ever made.

[straymonk]

There's a high school band member who lives with his family across the street from my father. His family won't let him practice in the house, so from time to time when I go visit my dad there's stands a gawky teenager playing the french horn in his driveway.

it's 1:30 am, my eyes are bein held open by matchsticks, leo's going to be up in 5 hrs, but i can't go to bed because someone on here's keeping me awake....:rolleyes:

[masterofNone]

who?

[Hermione]

I am exhausted.. looking for new sofas is so mundane.

[masterofNone]

so much painting.

[Audreyvgs]

Im almost done painting the chicken. I figure if it was standing up, it would be 12 feet high, it's a menacing chicken. I had to change the face, as it was too mean looking, but all chickens are mean looking in real life. I think its cause their beaks tilt down at both ends, and they don't have much for eyelid droop to temper their stare.


Where has Dinz been again?

this reminds me of Possessing the Secret of Joy by Alice Walker.
