**Wyatt** , you’re Cool and Everything, but … aww, hell, **Wyatt** , you just plain rock! I think I’m gonna have to stop reading your posts at work, though. Folks are getting suspicious of my lauging and tears. 😃

Ya know… The Rue threads do bring out the rambler in me 🙂 The biggest problem is that is how I usually write when writing for fun. Lots of stream of consciousness and not a lot of punctuation or decent grammar. So Rue merely encourages my natural tendencies and reminds me this is not a term paper so …

See. It is patently unfair that you all get a three hour head start on this thread. With the exception of Wyatt, whose dementia seems to be fueled by insomnia.

9pm p.d.t.- Me: “Firstborn Male Child, get off that blasted EverQuest game now. I need the computer.  
FBMC: " 'K, mom. Just a sec.”  
10pm p.d.t.-Me: “FBMC, if you are not off that PS2 in 3 minutes, I am revoking your breathing rights. I NEED THE COMPUTER!”  
FBMC: " 'K mom. Right away."  
11pm p.d.t.- Me: “FBMC middle name last name, I will disconnect the modem cable and hide it til you move out if you do not get off NOW!!”  
FBMC: “Geez, mom. Relax. **Davebear** prolly still doesn’t have a date.”

Smartass.

Maureen needs a LAN! If I had to wait for computer time I would be mighty miffed 🙂

First off, let me second this:  
“Originally posted by Maureen  
If Davebear’s sex life is still a source of amusement, I see no reason to discontinue it.”  
I’ve often felt the same way about MY sex life, even when the “others involved” ceased to be “amused” … \>\>WHEN\<\< you comin’ over to have me getcha drunk, Mo?😉

But, back to the REAL thread, already in progress … **D.Bear** First of all … that’s ALL the typos you can make when you’re DRUNK??? Sheesh! Come-On, Pal, Give us fumble-typers a Break!  
But you DID post differently when you were drunk!  
You broke your usual 7 quote limit and went for a near-record 9 (that’s right, folks, count 'em yer self! **9** quotes)!(oh, wait, page **7** had a **16!** quote post … were ya drunk on page 7, **Dave** , or does my theory hold no … margaritas?) Aaaaand … there _Were_ Kisses! There were Definite Kisses! Right … There … In … The … Post! And Several incidents of UnAbashed **Dave flirting!**

All that aside, you DID raise some un-answered questions:

> [@](#):
>
> … having sex, which has never happened for me, without a relationship …

_GasP!!!_ N e v e r ? ? ? ?  
_suddenly feeling Quite worldly_ This may be more shocking than the “full blown” revelation! Never is even longer than a mere decade! This may deserve it’s own thread! Oh … Wait … you were only talking WITH other people involved!!!

> [@](#):
>
> I haven’t had a “full blown” relationship in ages, as you know. (Too late.)

These ladies Just won’t let you off on that one, will they? (that was “let” that was NOT “get”)

> [@](#):
>
> Oh, and I am fairly snockered, thanks to the company party, tonight, which I had forgotten about.

Uh, company party you forgot about … _before_ the party? or forgot about after the 6th margarita? And … and … and … if ya forgot about the party, _before_ the party, how’d you end up AT the party? And None of the women at the party got drunk enough for Patrick Stewartish (Stewartesk?) you to end up accidentally gettin’ non-relationshiply-(uh, to use Maureen’s word here)-_laid_?

> [@](#):
>
> I’m not actually either a “glass half full” or a “glass half empty” guy. It’s both! I can’t see it one way or the other…

Must admit, this gets MUCH funnier now that we understand the “glass” was actually a pitcher… , and better yet, the “I can’t see it either way” wasn’t figurative, at that point!

> [@](#):
>
> If it’s with Theresa, I’ll buy you a dozen a week, for life.

Heck for the video rights, I’ll chip in on the donut debt!

> [@](#):
>
> \*\* Maureen\*\* “I am already on DB’s list!” **DBear** “You certainly are, should you ever become available!”

Uh, Careful, **D.Bear** a Mere 7 margarita capacity may not get you by, here!{see challenge to duel, page **7** this thread}

> [@](#):
>
> Anyway, I sent her back a nice response (I think)

Whaaaaat? All we get is “a nice response?” **9** pages into our deep and personal relationship with your “unvented” ‘love life’ and all we get is … “I sent her a nice response?” Details, dude, we want Details!!! How can we argue the depth of every word of her email to you, and Your’s to her, if we don’t get … well … the words!!! gaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

> [@](#):
>
> Me, myself, and I … But we have a sort of mutual agreement, that let’s us coexist peacefully.

Sh_t, I’m supposed to have **3** Voices in there??? Sh_t! Hard enough to keep the two of them from fighting! Hadda give one of them a “time out” this morning! … oh, wait, maybe the “you kids don’t MAKE me pull this body over! I will!” voice IS the third voice??? But, but, but, YOUR’s get along?

Just edging in at the amateur rules posting limit of 8 quotes, to avoid a sanction …

One would think. One would also think that Maureen’s ex-techie husband who now plays poker at night for a living would have plently of time and be more than happy to install said LAN.

My goodness a techie hubby and no LAN! If it’s a gizmo or gadget that can be attached to a PC we’ve got 3 moldering in storage somewhere!

My 2 year old has her own computer and has had it since she was 11 months old.

I won’t discuss the weather tracking stuff that connects from our roof to hubby’s computer. Nor will I go into detail about our electric bill!

I shouldn’t grouse. He is now as engrossed in this thread as I am and has promised a hub by the end of the week. Also to move the PS2 upstairs for the boy child, so the TV is freed up. Also, so he and the boy can BOTH play EverQuest at the same time, dammit.

**freetobeme** , butting into threads is a happy accident of the boards. Usually. But judgemental posts are met in kind. These are nice people. They welcome any and all. As long as you don’t try telling them what to do. 😉 May I direct you to the pit?

I understand Maureen and thank you for the civil response. I certainly didn’t mean to be telling anyone what to do. I was stating my opinion. I noticed no one bothered to ask for an explaination. Just (essentially) ‘Go away’. Color me puzzled.

And yes, everyone seems nice.

Even Wyatt.

Both of him.

Unfortunately for you, freetobeme, you’re an incredibly new newbie and therefore when you come into a thread and just toss out such a negative opinion with no one knowing anything about you we kind of assume a certain 5 letter word type behavior and after that don’t really want your opinion.

If you had said wow this thread has gotten kind of unwieldy, I wonder if it is time to start a new one to focus on the newer developments in Dave’s social life we may have responded better.

This is the MPSISM forum though so we are in the right place for socializing and we aren’t hurting anyone or forcing anyone to read the thread… so you’re comments were met with animosity…
