Why is it that classmates who find me after years always ask me if I'm married? Do I look like I should be married? Did I look lik that back then? What?! *grumpy smiley*

They're just trying to measure their lives up to yours and being married is one (if not their main) frame of reference. It's their insecurities, so ignore them and stay as cool as you undoubtedly are

Just because I ran a mile and a half this morning does not excuse or negate the continual eating of chocolates.

Vermilion - put . the . chocolates . away ...


oh, and TGP... I understand. Some people stick with you for no apparent reason and you can't let them go completely. Thinking of you.

Thanks. It doesn't help that I drive by her workplace three days a week, and live a couple blocks from her.

I want chocolate too, but I have enoguh candy bars here. I want chocolate easter candy. It's some of the best chocolates ever.

 

[Vermilion]

Thank you.

you're very welcome darling

Gah... Been there, done that.
I hate that little flutter and flip in your atomach you get that's half fear and half excitement and is worth nothing because there's no hope, no chance and no point.

Oh, I just remembered, I have one chocolate bar in the fridge that didn't get used to make smores the other night. Now... do I eat it or not? That is the question.

 

[Roxanne Appleby]

In this case, it's definitely "decide".


G'Morning, Rox. How's trix?

Hey, McK, trix is good, and très busy.

Greetings and to all the lusty lovelies present here today.

But then, what usually follows is X got married and Y got married and she has three kids already and Z is on a high-level job and is doing really well for himself, and I feel I'm somehow lesser or missing something. *sigh*

Anyway, it's momentary. I know I'm cool.

Hey, Rox.

Who's Trix? (I'm one curious person)

But what you don;t hear about is X's incipient drinking problem where she hides vodka in the reduced cal soda bottle in the 'fridge and has to have a glass every morning just so she can face the day to day grind and put up with Y's womanising which he indulges in because of his disappointment in how his life has turned out and is less discreet about than he realises.

In the mean time Z does indeed have a high-level job, but is also drinking pepto-bismol like it's lemonade because of the stress-induced ulcer he has from the insane workload and the homosexual urges he has towards the guy who works on reception but is too scared and pathetic to face up to and just be himself.

Better now?

I had a little bit of the candy bar then put the rest away. Do I feel better? Nope, so I guess that wasn't the solution to my problem. *growls* I wish a kid was awake so I could give them the rest of the chocolate bar.

That is 100% true.

You can't get poison ivy four days later.... can you?

 

[RedHairedandFriendly]

Yes, you can. Poison Ivy can remain in your clothes for quite a while as well as on your hiking gear.

 

[carsonshepherd]

Meep!
Luckily for me I don't get it very badly. Couple of weepy welts and that's it. Yuck.

I'm sorry.

My daughter gets it very badly, she has to have shots.

A child woke up - and has been rewarded the rest of the candy bar. w00t!

What a great reward just for waking up! It might almost make her want to do it again tomorrow...!

I should go...

go where?

Hey, Rox.

Who's Trix? (I'm one curious person)

Big to my lovely friend from Injah.

You are probably pulling my leg and know this, but "how's tricks?" is slightly archaic yank slang for "how ya' doin'?" "Trick" is also yank slang for a prostitute servicing a client, but I don't think there is any relationship between the expressions.* Nevertheless, one must be cautious when using "How's tricks?" with someone who you don't know realizes this and is not a close friend.


* There might be, though: http://www.randomhouse.com/wotd/index.pperl?date=20010103

Ok. I thought that's what it was, but wasn't sure. I thought you had a pet named Trix, which would be too cute.
