Presents! Yay. Ok on my wish list are: Instead of shelf hanging I need some vaccuuming and dusting done. Oh and some babysitting… that would be lovely. There isn’t a teenage girl within 30 miles who wants to babysit and there are no boys looking to make some cash mowing my lawn either. Shedguy is pondering my shed again. If I could work up the proper vitrol I would pit him! It just is not worth the effort. Ya know I do sometimes feel bad for the mods that have to wade through all this silliness. 🙂 ---

You have to do the cake decoration on my 1000th post party then 😛 And I am still waiting for Dave´s input regarding kissing on the first date, he he. (On a totally unrelated note the batteries in my cordless mouse just died and I am stuck using the touchpad. Which totally sucks! And since it is exactly 8 pm now, all the shops are closed and I cannot get new batteries or preferably a new mouse!) ---

Well, yes, but what should the OP be? “OMFG, Vol. II” “The **Davebear** Private Life Voyeurism Thread?” Don’t get me wrong, I’m cynical, but not to the point where I’ll start taking bets on …well…crap. Hush, **Tanookie** , I can see you grinning. I’m really not that mean. Honest. [slight hijack] hahahahaha…this thread is a hijack… **Wyatt** , thank you so much for everything you said, in several threads. And my condolences & warm feelings right back at you. How awful to go through something like that so young. Well, at any time in life, really. [slight hijack] ---

The next thread should be something like ‘Trials and Tribulations of a man and [Match.com](http://Match.com)’ Bah I’m used to cynicism. I live with the worlds biggest cynic. He’s actually pretty proud of his cynicism. Oh and shhhh… Wyatt has a reputation to upkeep. Can’t have anyone know he can be a decent guy and all… ---

to continue my complete and utter hijack about German and beer… I think Hefeweizen means Heavy white, but don’t quote me on that, and really, it doesn’t matter as it’s delicious. There is also just plain ole Weissbier which is white beer. I think you can get it bottled or canned from Franziskaner or some such. The radler ration I believe is half & half, but maybe there’s some experimentation in order. BTW, who’s making mojitos? Mmmmm mojitos! As delicious as a mint julep, without the nasty bourbon. ---

I LOVE mojitos!!! I am originally from Florida and have been drinking mojitos since before they were popular. Me and my all my old pals back in Tampa used to drink them before we went dancing. Hefeweizen is different…I have had my share of that too when I lived in Germany and never cared what it meant. It can mean “down the hatch” for all I care 'cuz that is what we did. LOL Different crowd - different buzz. If you are talking about booze, it’s perfectly acceptable to hijack. That’s the rules according to Mipiace.😃 ---

Just a quick bit of late night post padding. Thanks Maureen for all you “didn’t say” that “nobody heard.” Its Bed Time! Loooong Day at work … not in shape for those 15 hour work days, anymore! _Yawn_ ---

Ok, 13 Euro for an optical USB mouse later and I am back in business. I´ve got a question: **White Ink** are you in Germany or in the States (or neither)? I didn´t catch that. ---

'Splain it to me, please. > [@](#): > > \*\*Wyatt …my condolences \*\* **Wyatt** I’m not really sure what this is about, but I did see a reference, somewhere, to your having lost a loved one.

That’s the rules according to Mipiace. 😃 \*\* I don’t really object, either, but I don’t know why you’d want to start a conversation about it in the middle of an unrelated thread, as opposed to starting one on that topic. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Optihut \* > \*\*Ok, 13 Euro for an optical USB mouse later and I am back in business. I´ve got a question: White Ink are you in Germany or in the States (or neither)? I didn´t catch that. \*\* I didn’t realize you were in Europe, either. Care to share what country you’re in? I saw your question about kissing on a first date, too. Obviously, I’m for it, in general, but it depends on circumstances. For instance, I would have liked to kiss Monica, just once, to see how it was, knowing I wouldn’t be seeing her, again. But, it was obvious that idea wouldn’t fly very far, so I didn’t even try. If _I_ were the one deciding there wouldn’t be a second date (Yes, I’ve done that, once, though I’m usually inclined to give it more of a chance than that.), I wouldn’t be inclined to kiss her, either. Other than that, why wouldn’t you? Isn’t it better to know, right from the start, whether you can or can’t imagine kissing this person for the rest of your life? I think so. Of course, kissing is one of my favorite things to do, anyway, and I make no claims to being a safe sex advisor, so YMMV. ---
