The I stayed up until midnight just to post this MMP

Too much blood in your caffeine system? Related funny story: One day at irk I was getting a cup of coffee. I opened up the creamer and poured it right in the trash can instead of in the cup. Twice. A few weeks later, Detailed AGM did the same thing.

I have run the errands. The computer parts recycling place was closed today, but Goodwill was around to take my old printer. I have a real honest-to-og *ottoman *now so I don’t have to put my feet up on the old printer-in-a-box. I am classy! I also went to Kohl’s and paid Good Money for a pair of shoes that should hold up to the horrible abuse of standing for eight hours for irk. Tomorrow is break-in-the-shoes day. I’m also working with the Ferret again so we may also see how the new shoes do with being put right up someone’s hindquarters.

Word!

Am happy I am not working on base today as the hair-conditioning went out for a couple of hours. It came back on later but it got up to 90 in the office. :eek:

Must be something in the air for terrible moods.

I made the mistake of talking to OAOASO, big mistake.
Of course he says it’s his mistake for trying to be nice to me, but no matter how nice he is the underlying issue doesn’t change and unless or until he is ready to change that we will never work.
I can’t figure out if he really is that stupid or if he is deliberately being obtuse.

Can all y’all stand another story.
This is not the situation with him, but it reminds me of another ex.

Pain and I had been dating for about 6 years.
We met in a bar, The Full Moon Saloon in Fells Point. He asked to come home with me because he was up from NO and lost his friends and didn’t know how to get home. I figured I was safe with him because he was so wasted he couldn’t see more than 18 inches in front of his face and if he tried anything all I had to do was move out of his field of vision.
So we went to my truck and fortunately he threw up on my feet before we got there because feet clean up easier than upholstery.
Later I found out he had lied because while it was true he had just come up from NO, he was actually from Baltimore and knew exactly where he was and how to get home.
Remind me one day to tell you about our first anniversary when we went back to the Full Moon. Playing with the yuppies was so much fun - for us anyway.

Anyway Pain had moved to DE to avoid some legal issues, which almost broke us up but somehow we made it work.
Anyway, we had been dating about 6 years and I kind of had a feeling something was up with him.

So one day I walk in his place and he says we need to talk.

Pain - I think we should date other people.
Sari- Oh?
Which I took to mean he was already seeing somebody else and figured he’d better say something to me before one of his friends or neighbors did.
Sari -well if that is what you want to do I can’t stop you.
Pain - so it’s okay with you?
Sari - I guess it has to be.
Well, I could see the little wheels turning in his head and the look of relief on his face that said wow that was sure easy.
Sari - Of course this means I get to date other guys.
Now I could see the wheels come to a grinding halt as he realized he hadn’t thought that far ahead.
Pain - I guess that would be fair.
Sari- ya think?
Sari - I guess we ought to make the most of today since it’s going to be our last day together.
Pain - WHAT?!
Sari- well you know I will sleep with only one man at a time and since I’m going to be dating other men I guess this will be our last time together.
Pain - NOBODY SAID ANYTHING ABOUT SLEEPING WITH OTHER PEOPLE!
Sari - well yeah, not right away or anything but if I am dating another man sooner or later he is going to want to get physical and it’s not like I can say well gee honey I’d love to fuck you but my boyfriend doesn’t want me to. That’s not going to go over so well.
Pain - well no, but nobody said anything about sleeping with other people…
Sari- well generally that is what happens when you are dating.
Sari- besides I want to be in a monogamous relationship and if you can’t give me that then I need to find somebody who can.
Pain - that’s not fair! You’re telling me I can’t date other women.
Sari - you can date whomever you like, I just won’t be one of them because I am not part of anybody’s haram.
Pain - that’s not right! You are trying to tell me what to do! You are making me have to choose! You can’t tell me what to do!
Sari - and you can’t make me date someone who doesn’t want to be monogamous. If the choice is so hard for you then let me make it easy for you and remove myself from the equation.

So we broke up, and then got back together and then broke up for keeps about a year later.
Which is a whole other story.

According to him this made me a ‘controlling bitch’ but I don’t see how I was controlling anybody but myself.

Same theme but different topic with OAOASO.
Telling somebody what you are willing to accept is not the same as telling them what to do.

Whoa, hold it! He thinks being NICE to his SO is a “mistake”??? :eek:

Ditch this jackass ASAP!!! You deserve much better, like someone who can treat you with some respect and dignity! Would you want your child dating someone who considers basic courtesy a “mistake”?

So apparently vacations really throw me off because I got back a week ago and am just now getting back into the swing of things. As I am 2 weeks behind I will be paraphrasing ** Rosie’s ** sig: Hugs, boos, slaps, pats, Goat and Squid, clueX4, etc to all as needed.

ETA Sorry to hear about that ** Sari **

I am not understanding this phrase :confused: What General? Won’t the army get mad?

Drae, I went to the club for over two years before learning to juggle. They have tea, and biscuits (and sometimes cake), and half the time we just play silly games. I started off doing hula hooping there, which is my excuse, but one guy has only juggled once since I started going four years ago :smiley:

That actually does sound like a good time. I love cake. The size of my ass can attest to that. :slight_smile:

Speaking of, the cake at Friday night’s wedding was excellent. Almost made the rest of the night worth it. And they had a mashed potato bar during the cocktail hour. It doesn’t take much to make me happy. I also discovered that one of my cousins had gotten secretly married a couple years ago–well, secret enough that most of the family didn’t know, but that’s just because it was a super-small wedding and nobody talks to each other. But that’s one less wedding Imma have to go to, so I’m thrilled. I did the math, and I think I’ve been to roughly twenty weddings in the last eight or nine years. Does anybody else thing that’s too damn many?

The reference is to General Tso’s Chicken, a popular Chinese dish in the US. It’s kinda like sweet and sour chicken, but hot.

Whew! It’s been quit a day! We spent about 3 anna half hours working outside this morning. **FCD **finished the railings and built the step for the north side of the deck. I installed 10’ plus 2 semi-circular corners of edging and planted/transplanted a bunch of stuff. I have about 12’ more to edge and plant. **FCD **has to build the handrail for the steps and make trim pieces for the pergola. Then the copper caps go on. The area between the two sections may or may not get something to join the two. We’re not going to spend the money right now, but we’ll think about what, if anything, we want to do there.

Anyway, once the dirty, sweaty work was done for the day, we showered, dressed, and headed to Waldorf. We grabbed lunch, then ran to Home Depot for a few things we needed. Now we’re home and I think I’ll mess with the tea towels some more. What I really want to do is nap…

So… not something of much relevance to an English vegetarian then? :smiley: I can understand me not knowing now…

Oh, and incidently- I have actually never been to a wedding, so, yes, I do think that is too many. I’ve not actively avoided them either.

Anyway, I shall be late for the doing not much if I keep posting. Shoo, me.

So. Two minor injuries and one near miss today. I think it’s time to quit working for the day and I’ll start again tomorrow.

Blurf.

What he really meant is that it was a mistake to try to be nice to me and work things when I am not being receptive to his efforts.
I can feel his frustration but I don’t think he feels mine.
I think in his head I’m being stubborn, I don’t know if he truly doesn’t get why I am angry, or he doesn’t want to get it.

There’s a Full Moon Saloon in Philly, so named because that’s what the girls who work there do, especially if you give them singles. Just sayin’ :wink:

I like cake too. My ass* is small; however, she’s such a #$%& that she’d probably lie about my cake liking if you were to ask her. :dubious:

  • or is that ex-ass?..& she is short.
    Oh, not that kinda ass? [Emily Litella] Nevermind! [/Emily Litella]

This* Full Moon* was and maybe still is a biker bar.
Very low key though.

Ok another story time.

Pain and I met there and we went back for out first year anniversary.
We were the only two people in the place and we were just chilling and having a few beers.

So in walks this yuppie type couple and for whatever reason they sit down at the bar next to us.
The girl next to me and the guy the next stool down.

Pain wasn’t really a biker but he did have long hair pulled back into a pony tail and some home made tattoos. He had a Norton but he wasn’t in any clubs. Some people thought he looked scary but I never understood why.

So when the guy sat down next to the woman he wrapped his legs around her bar stool and put his feet on my stool.
Which was annoying to me but hey we were celebrating and I wasn’t going to let the him ruin my good time. Then he kept kicking me in the foot and it hurt, because even though they looked like yuppies he had on steel toed boots.

When Pain got up to go to the mens room I slid his stool over and pulled my over away from the yuppie couple, causing the guys feet to hit the floor with a THUD!

So the guy made a rude remark about me.
I ignored him and he made a few more rude remarks.
His gf said just leave her alone and he made a few more.
Well, now I’m starting to get a little annoyed, here I am just minding my own business and wanting to have a good time and some idiot comes along and wants to start something.

Pain came back from the mensroom and takes one look at my face and says ‘what’s wrong?’

Not wanting to spoil the evening out I said nothing, but Pain was persistent and I said that guy said a few rude things to me.
Pain was usually pretty easy going but he looks over at the guy and says ‘nobody talks to my woman that way’.

The girl says to the man ‘I asked you to leave her alone’.

Pain looks at the man and says ‘me and you - outside’.

The man says ‘I’m not going outside with you’

The girl whines ‘I told you to leave her alone, didn’t I ask you to leave her alone?’

Well that was our cue.

Pain starts demanding the man meet him outside, I’m telling him to calm down it’s not worth it, does he really want to spend another night in jail and pay all those medical bills.

The guy is determined he is not going outside, Pain is demanding he go out, I’m telling him to stop because I don’t want to bail him out again, and the poor girl is damn near shitting herself wailing ‘I asked you to leave her alone, couldn’t you have left her alone, didn’t I tell you to leave her alone’.

So we finished our drinks, and got up to leave.
Pain tapped the guy on the shoulder and said he’d be waiting for him outside.

By the time we got outside we were both doubled over laughing.

I wonder how long they sat there afraid to come out.

Some serious thunderboomers came thru, and it’s still raining. Yay! My gardens are getting a drink!

Gotta figger out what to do for supper - we had a big lunch but I still need to have something. Guess I need to forage.

It’s only a test. When the spider revolution comes, there will be more of them and they won’t need to be on a projector.

I’m gonna get one of these, and keep it in the car with me.

Plus they will wield pointy sticks!

We had some hyuuuuuuuuuuuge storms move through here as well and it’s still rainin’ pretty hard. May be some more tboomers on the way as well. YAY!

Heated up leftovers for dindin. Just enough for tonight and now they’re gone. YAY!

Apparently the revolution will be televised. **Swampy **may never watch TV again.

I have been a sloth today and as a reward I am off to have a Beerverage at Big Star

So there :smiley:

Cheers

Jim

Hey! you can blame the mess on the monkey then. Get thee to the monkey store post haste. :smiley:
