Hi all! Did one of you redheads send me a picture to my excite e-mail? Someone did but I didn’t recognize the address. 
Tweren’t me, 6. Ooh, I just love a good mystery. What was the address (I know you can’t post it here, email me!)? I’m so bad when it comes to this stuff. I love to figure things out.

Salem, Your hypnotic sleep thoughts worked! Baby Dreamer went to sleep (finally!) around 12:30-1am my time… about the same time you posted. 
FTR, SoulFrost is a good friend, Dave.
so now we have
good Daves
Bad Daves
and
Good Friend Daves
and
just Wyatts
… cool and everything… But …

“but I’m not any kind of Dave at all”
- Dorothy Gale from KansasThat’s too funny, Dreamer. Must be those mother vibes. Pretty strong stuff! Glad you got some much needed sleep.
[b/]Wyatt**, Watch out for the breakables. We’re running low on super glue!
I did that on purpose
Hm. Something…purple, I think :D. And silky. But…do I have to sing? Dave really wouldn’t appreciate it, trust me. I DO have other talents. And…are we talking closed circuit TV?
OH! Now I’M blushing. Thanks, honey, I think you’re wonderful, too!!
No, dear one, it’s an old word. Chinchy. Selfish. Spoiled. But, those terms don’t really apply. He just wanted to make sure I didn’t get into trouble, and I just didn’t want to leave. I was entirely too comfortable and happy right where I was
Good friends are important to have, sweetie. Never mind the male snickering going on. They’re jealous. SoulFrost, I give you the same warning that I gave our darling rocky. Causing tears to ANY of my girls involves rapid karma of the Mama Maureen sort.
Well, I suppose I should get some work done. It looks like a tree threw up on my desk. Again.
Bwahahaaa! A tree threw up on your desk. I’ve never heard that one, I love it.
But alas you inspire me to go do what I need to do, too. Wednesday deadline day is here and off I go on a mad editing frenzy. Well, maybe frenzy’s too strong a word.
waiting on the Dell interns to make the darnd thing, then gotta wait for the ups guy to bring it. I am hoping to have it by the end of the week. plus that weird holiday on monday kinda threw things off. guess Dell uses it as a day off.

Hee…y’know, Salem, you’re about the 4th person in this thread who has confided to me an interest in world domination. I think it’s funny, when you take into account just how many views, hijacks, and posts this thread has pulled in, that no one has jumped to the conclusion that we’re well on our way to world domination, just not any one person (at least, none of the four who have expressed an interest in it) in control. I think the world owes a great deal of thanks to ADD, because…oooh! Look! Pez!
chalk me up as the fifth, if I am not already on the list 
I don’t really want to dominate the whole thing. I think that would be a really big job. I’d settle for a medium sized carribean island.
The ADD remark was very funny. I remember one time… Hey look there’a an ant on the floor…
Optihut Let me be the first to welcome you back
Don´t welcome me back, this is my usual posting habit. It´s amazing that it didn´t take me 10+ pages to re-appear 
The verbal exam didn´t go well today, I was too nervous, so I screwed up big time. Since I´ve already collected my share of bad grades, I asked the professor to downgrade my result to “failed”, so that I can take it again in half a year. But the lost time and overall bad feeling pretty much sucks (pardon my language).
On the women front it doesn´t look too good either. I ran into my cute neighbour today, but merely said “hi”. Then - and I completly blame my gloomy mood on that - I talked to a woman, who already shot me down once when she was still living in the same city, on ICQ and asked whether we could go out in a “Just friends” way sometime. She said “yes”, but went offline, before we could make any solid plans. That figures.
See ya in 3-6 pages
Yikes! You need some loving and comforting from the **Dave Bear Babes ** and all you got is me! Well I can’t promise floating boobage but I will commiserate, and spew platitudes in an attempt to make you feel better. Maybe Maureen will show up and help me out here. Sorry ‘bout your verbal. I do know about choking when you’re nervous. Taking a class over isn’t all bad, but you’re right the feeling that you’ve failed is never good. I’m assuming you’re saying it sucks, and not in a good way right?
Hey here’s some advice! From me even! Who da thunk it? Whenever you’re feeling down and frustrated stay the hell away from women you want to hook up with. Just saying HI to the cute neighbor was probably a good thing. Unless you want to go for that “I’m having such a bad day” sympathy of course. Generally the thought ( I hesitate to call it process) for me would go something like “Well I’m already having a crappy day may as well go ahead and ask (insert name of redhead here) out. This just never worked out for me. I need to be in a good mood before I’m prepared for the “Long walk of shame” that can happen after the “Being shot down”. Both of these concepts were well discussed back on the first couple of pages.
So am I talking to hear myself talk? Nah, I just wanted you to know that pretty much every guy has been where you are before. The class I withdrew from was numerical analysis, the “just friends” girl was Sara, and the cute neighbor was Beckie. I’m not gonna swear it gets better, but I do know where you’re coming from. Whew as long as it took me to write this maybe Mo popped in with something useful. If not I suppose I’ll post this mess. But on the bright side it’ll be 3-6 pages before you see it
PS. “Just friends” never works, or I should say it works way to well. You end up with lots of “friends” and no “girl friend” At least that has been my experience
It was Linear Algebra for me. Definitely not the same as Algebra! Graphics manipulation and matrices. Ugh! Take heart Optihut, I got an A the second time I took it.
Look at retaking the class this way, you’ll have a head start the 2nd time around… at least that’s what I told myself in college when I had to retake a class.
As for the girl stuff… (((hugs)))
*popping back in
I see there’s been talk about crops & domination. FTR, I’d just like to say that I prefer domination one human at a time. I’d be spread WAY too thin If I tried to do everyone all at once. Plus those other Dominants don’t like it so much when someone starts hornin’ in on their territroy.
Ahem. I probably wouldn’t wear anything to sing D’bear a happy burfday, but mostly cause that’s cause I can’t sing. I couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket. Not even happy birthday. My present is NOT singing.
Anyhow, please all return to our regularly scheduled Soap Opera.
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…
OK. I’ve tried replying to this a couple of times, but it came off as flip, and I really wanted to give it the consideration it deserves. First, SGZ, let me say thank you VERY much for the compliment. All the women in this thread, tanookie especially, could give very good advice in this particular area. You honor me much, sir.
Second, I should note that…and this is a COMPLIMENT…the guys in this thread seem to gravitate toward…well…ballbusters. For lack of a better word. I think it’s a compliment because, after all, I am a ballbuster. But, it’s true. The guys in this thread are intelligent, funny, sensitive men, who are attracted to intelligent, independent, confident women. At least, the ones who have voiced their opinions/preferences regarding women. I think that there’s a desire for someone with a competitive nature as well. Unfortunately, these qualities in a woman often translate into someone who is less sensitive than the man she’s with, and (from personal experience) she ends up stepping on feelings that she didn’t even know were underfoot.
:sigh: Optihut, about all I can advise is…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. You know what to expect now. (((((Optihut))))). It’ll be alright, sweetie.
As for the women…well…I learned a long time ago that all advice in such matters is useless. But, if you will indulge an old lady; I cannot over emphasize how much a straightforward, honest approach is appreciated. And patience. Men are visual creatures, you’re attracted by what you see. Women are abstract creatures, we’re attracted by what we perceive. While there may be an immediate animal attraction, the one that’s developed over time is the one we’re more likely to want to make something of, long term. And, ya know, there’s much to be said for playing hard to get.
Yes, dear one, I know. That puts us back where we started. But I’m right. 
YAY!! White Ink is here!!!
