> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Davebear \* > \*\* Really? You have talents? What are they?_\* Well, I’m a fairly decent cook. I can balance a checkbook (_some_ men are under the impression that women are unable to do this). I can get ready to go out in under half an hour. Oh. And there is one other, little thing. But, it’s considered rude to brag, and a personal demonstration would probably be required. If you’re ever in California, I’ll show you. **Aint’cha proud of me for not touching the “ballbuster” line?** That must’ve hurt. Dear one, I am _always_ proud of you. > [@](#): > > - Originally loftily accused by Dave\* > **That’s cuz _some_ women make a habit of searching for previously undiscovered “buttons”, and pushing them to see what happens.** Does it count as a talent if you don’t do it on purpose? Women don’t have an exclusive on this. Personally, I think it’s a defense mechanism. After being verbally slapped around, it’s the easiest thing in the world to see insults where none were meant, and fire back. My ex is a world class button pusher. I don’t think I’ve ever met someone quite so passive aggressive. Takes me a while to get out of that “mode” after I’ve talked with him. The zingers just sorta pop out. :sigh:…I don’t like the person I am after I’m done wrangling with him. I cannot believe the Cubs blew that lead. EESH!! What’s it gonna take!!! Morning, **6, Dreamer.** You guys were up bright and early. ---

First let me say **If6** I’m jealous that you are receiving redhead pictures, not gnashing of teeth jealous, but still 🙂 > [@](#): > > Originally by White Ink, seconded by several > PS - what’s wrong with having a whole passle of friends that are girls, while you wait on finding a good fit for a GF? Seems like it’d be less lonely that way… Well I’m talking ‘bout when I was back in school. There’s a point when being just friends is very frustrating. I had way to many long conversations about how some guy had done them wrong, and why, oh why couldn’t they just find a really nice guy. Whenever I asked well “what about me” I always got “But I don’t want to loose you as a friend” Right “Well the reason you keep getting treated like that is that you keep picking good looking, cocky jerks” Ya know what! You’re all right! WTF am I doing trying to offer relationship advice? Holy cow! Feel free to ignore anything I say ‘bout relationships 🙂 **Maureen** You’re welcome. I was really hoping that someone would pop in and offer some GOOD advice, and I couldn’t think of anyone better to do that than you, and I missed this point completely. > [@](#): > > don’t let the exam ruin your life. It’s one exam. And, since you get to take it over, in the long run, it’s not such a horrible thing. You’ll do better next time Right, remember it’s just school. After your first job how you did in school really isn’t important. I’m not going to touch the ballbuster comment either > [@](#): > > Origionally by Rocky > And, ShotgunZen, dude, you flat rock! Very eloquent response there to Optihut. I rock! **Rocky** said so. I flat rock…I am a flat rock… I am being skipped across the hot tub… I fail to skip, and sink to the bottom. Luckily I bought the nose snorkel from **Wyatt**. And I’m eloquent too! Ya know eloquence is, like, you know… Uh something that I wanna do, um whenever… aa… you know I mmmmmm get a chance to, also. 🙂 > [@](#): > > Originally posted by Maureen > Yes, honey.

Quit with the innocent look, lady, it doesn’t go with the breasts. > Ohhh, that froggie! > > I never did find anyone willing to lick it… ~pouts~ Ahem… I believe I did offer to lick your frog, back when I first caught up with you folks. If I didn’t then it was merely an oversight. **Jaade** would you like me to lick your frog (bats eyes) > [@](#): > > Origionally quoted by DaveBear in Reply to If6 > Pass it along. Maybe one of us will recognize her. Absolutely, pass along all pictures of redheaded babes. ‘cause heck I might recognize them too 🙂 And now I’m off! As many people have known for years. I shall gird my loins, and attempt to load Norton Antivirus on 28 Windows NT workstations, and three Windown NT servers. The malfunctioning of any of these could cost my company hundreds of thousands of dollars. Someone way up in the adminisphere thinks this is a good idea, I do not. Wish me luck. ---

I feel for ya SGZ… hubby is always bitching about antivirus software… when configured in such a way as to make the IT department happy it makes his job impossible. He ends up disabling it. A constant battle thus! I especially like the term adminisphere 🙂 Oh and Zachary passed his very first check-up with flying colors and has gained almost half a pound in the last week! ---

**Tanookie** , \ do babies get stretch marks? \ ---

I have enough stretch marks for everyone ☹ My belly looks like it was mauled by a bear ☹ Babies do have some awfully odd reactions to the hormones in mommy though. That’s why little girls are often born with breast buds and swollen labia (some unfortunate little ladies menstruate for a few days after birth!) and little boys have huge bright red testicles. This goes away in a few weeks. Is that TMI or what? 🙂 ---

Thanks **Maureen** I need it. 13 workstations done, dang those old machines are slow. However I have decided to chicken out and not do all three of the control machines, and three backups. I’ll do the three online ones, and wait a couple weeks to do the backups. **Tanookie** I am the IT department for my area, however one of our VPs got a virus, and the corporate IT people convinced him that there was vulnerability … Sorry NOONE cares about that. Not even me 🙂 Back to work. I’ll be back in at midnight tonight so I have to get this stuff done so I can go home. ---

EEWWW!! Let me get this straight, **SGZ**. You have to come BACK to the office at _midnight_??? That’s just wrong!!! **tanookie** , speaking of the little one, how is his big sister doing with all this? I’ve heard that girls are usually happier to welcome younger siblings than boys. When we brought Sam home, I asked FBMC, “don’t you want to come see your new sister?” He walked over, looked down, made a face, and said “how long is she staying?” :smack: ---

She’s pretty curious about him and really wants to help but she’s also very needy and she’s cranked herself up about 8 octaves all of a sudden. Things are still really new so it will take a while to really settle down. ---
