Besides, I wouldn’t have let you drive home anyway, so blame it on me.

Tyler, I don’t think it has so much to do with what I did, as it has to do with not being up front about it. I wasn’t exactly eager to tell her that we spent the night at a strange womens’s house (and god are you ever strange 😉 ). Had the tables been turned, I would have been upset about her doing the same thing. In fact, I probably would have been really upset. So I hemed and hawed and basically avoided the whole thing, hoping that it would magically go away. She then got curious about me not talking about our little get-together and basically had to drag the details out of me. I didn’t lie, but I wasn’t exactly brimming with information. And now she doesn’t believe me about any of it. Shit, I don’t think I’d believe me, either. Had I been mature and straight forward from the get-go, I wouldn’t be in anywhere near the trouble I’m in now. But, I am a thick-headed guy sometimes and only seem to learn my lessons by doing it the hard way. Man, I’m 29, and yet I still act like I’m 13. ---

> [@](#): > > Also, I’d love it if you guys could come up here to the wine country, as Kyla suggested. There’s lots of great places, and, during the summer, we could have a Bay Area SD campout! Whaddya think? hehe as long as I can hook up a ride,or find a cheap way to get up there, because my car can’t make it more than 40 consecutive miles in any direction before it dies (It’s ghetto fabulous!). ---

DD – I’m in the same boat as you. I got home around 11:30 and apparently my husband had been calling all night from work and he screamed “where the hell have you been! I’ve been worried sick about you!” I rode into the city with him because I was having lunch with an old high school buddy, but forgot on purpose to tell him I was meeting “internet people” for drinks later. (Hubby is not fond of my “INTERNET FRIENDS” as he calls them.) Upon seeing the pictures, I suspect he had reason to be mad! Heh. (I must’ve been drunker than I thought, there were like 10 pictures but I only remember taking 3!) I sent the most normal looking ones to Demo to put on his page, and yes, Tyler and my drinks are ACTUAL SIZE! * * * One week only! Special holiday sig line: “HO! HO! HO!

THAT would not have gone over well. Mrs. DD was upset enough that there were people named VogueVixen and Sassy there. She said,“What are these people, a bunch of strippers!” LOL! ---

> [@](#): > > DD – I’m in the same boat as you. I got home around 11:30 and apparently my husband had been calling all night from work --VogueVixen And people wonder why I’m not married…! The only people I ever have to explain anything to are the cats (and they’re only interested because dinner’s late). Seriously, tho… I’m really sorry you two ran into some trouble over our get-together, and I want them to let you guys come out and play again soon! So, next time invite your spouses along if it helps. I’d be interested to know what kind of masochists would put up wit’ the likes 'a youse whack-jobs, anyway. 😉 P.S.

Heck if I know! I don’t even remember it happening! (I think you may have TAKEN it!) 😉 Oh, and please tell me I don’t look as Rosie O’Donnellish as I do in that picture! I don’t know about Dirty Devil, but I for one vote “NO” on MY spouse coming to any future meetings. He can like it or he can lump it for all I care. \>8( * * * One week only!
