We are hosting a birthday party tonight for an old friend.

Yours truly will be a great white hunter, truly happy that great whites are rare up here.

Endangered specie indeed.

Send us each a shark's tooth, OF. Hope the party was a blast!

Oldfart 04-29-2012 03:54 AM

Almost as much fun as I hope Cleveland will be in July.

It's been almost two weeks since I've had a caffeinated beverage.

Aqua 04-29-2012 09:25 AM

Hodor!


And thanks, Gigi. :)

jseal 04-29-2012 10:09 AM

Aqua,

Congrats! That's a difficult habit to break. :thumb:

loves2laugh 04-29-2012 10:25 AM

Don't always believe what you read, but it's still ok to fantasize about it

Lilith 04-30-2012 09:26 AM

I am having a "catch up" day at home. You know to catch up on sex :p

MAYDAY! MAYDAY! 96/2 and now you want to take the other half of the two basic food groups. :faint:


You really won't live to be 200 with that attitude, it'll just seem like it. :doorpeek:

Thank you :)

It has really been a challenge. I will not say I have committed to never consuming it again... but I certainly needed a break from it.

dicksbro 05-01-2012 04:49 AM

Good job, Aqua! I hadn't noticed that you had done that. :thumbs:

I quite about 4 1/2 hours ago ... but will probably resume in another 4. (Fasting blood test this morning. :) )

Oldfart 05-01-2012 08:31 AM

I'm watching Steve McQueen in "The Thomas Crown Affair".

AZRedHot 05-01-2012 10:14 AM

It's Beltane...fucking outdoors starts today!

I'm not looking forward to this week.

dicksbro 05-09-2012 04:08 AM

I've got a regular doctor's appointment today.

gekkogecko 05-09-2012 10:16 AM

I'm going away for the next few days to help run yet another camping event. http://www.marylandfaeriefestival.org/index.html

Oldfart 05-09-2012 05:18 PM

I'm going away for a week or so, but I'll take a small puter with me so I can stay pervy.

ShadowDancer 05-09-2012 09:47 PM

I'm losing my job...just a matter of when the HR guy gets the paperwork filled out. :(

Oldfart 05-09-2012 10:16 PM

Employment prospects?

ShadowDancer 05-09-2012 10:48 PM

none so far. getting my resume typed up and posted online though. kinda depressed...out of the past 12 yrs, this is the first time i've ever been terminated from a job.

dicksbro 05-10-2012 06:13 AM

Sorry to hear about that, SD. Let's hope and pray that somehow, this will be an opportunity and you'll find some something better very fast. We'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers!

Lord Snow 05-10-2012 07:08 AM

SD, is it just cut backs?

ShadowDancer 05-10-2012 09:30 PM

no, unfortunately, what i do is a production job. and if you dont hit atleast 90% of the goal for a set period, then things go haywire. I've been busting my hump at work and not making much headway...i think the numbers are skewed--as do others, but we can't *justify* having new time studies done. However, after they told me on Tues that I was being terminated pending HR & paperwork, they've said today that they "don't know yet" because of some conflicting info. So I could still be terminated...tomorrow, next week...or given another 30 day period to "improve". But even if they dont' and I do "improve"...I can't mess up for 24 straight months. It's a screwy job...but I can't go anywhere else and make what I do. So...I kinda need it.

(/end vent)

Oldfart 05-11-2012 06:29 AM

Work too long under the grinder and it will bite.

Working your heart out for ingrate arseholes will only last for so long.

Look to see what else is available, take every dollar they'll give you untill you're able to grab a new job.

Lord Snow 05-11-2012 08:29 AM

I'm really sorry to hear that Shadow. You'd think that years of good work would help protect someone from being fired for having a bad couple of weeks. It seems as though companies don't care about their workers anymore. If this trend continues they'll have unions everywhere again.

This is just the back-stroke of the pendulum that always over swings. :shrug:

PantyFanatic 05-11-2012 09:47 AM

108 and I can NOT promise 109 :hair:

Lord Snow 05-11-2012 02:48 PM

Is that the same pendulum that's in the pit that is Edgar Allan Poe's imagination?

Oldfart 05-11-2012 04:58 PM

A close cousin.

jay-t 05-12-2012 06:04 PM

This is the 3rd weekend of a 5 weekend Renn fair going good so far,only a little rain

Lord Snow 05-12-2012 07:24 PM

Jay-T, you're not in the Tennessee area right now are you? Our local Renaissance Fair is going on right now as well.

jay-t 05-12-2012 09:36 PM

No sorry .Im in eastern okla,http://www.okcastle.com/

dicksbro 05-13-2012 02:57 AM

I've got an itch. :shrug:

Oldfart 05-13-2012 07:30 AM

Lotion'll take care of that.

Lilith 05-13-2012 11:53 AM

Some men are truly dogs. They should be led around by their dicks on leashes. And not in the way some have begged me to :p

PantyFanatic 05-13-2012 09:06 PM

Tell us what you really think. :D

Hmmmm ... sounds like there's some guy you're thinking of that would get more pleasure having it get rammed running full speed into that hydrant. Ouch! :yikes:

dicksbro 05-14-2012 06:00 AM

It's 52 today and 15 tomorrow!!
 
:line::line::line:

Can you believe it. Today ... MAY 14th, 2012 ... is my wife and my
52nd Meeting Anniversary
(That's right, it's been 52 years since we met on a blind date ... next month we'll have our 49th Wedding Anniversary)

and

Tomorrow ... MAY 15th, 2012 ... will be my
10th Pixie Anniversary
(Which I met on a blind search ... er ... or something).

Just think, 42 more years at Pixies and I'll have been here as long as my wife and I have known each other today. Wow!

:line::line::line:

:D
