Kari, Tory and Grant are leaving Mythbusters. I can only hope this means they are getting their own TV show, they are such a great team.

[Drachen596]

Mythbusters is still on? i stopped watching forever ago because they went from testing myths with science to 'hey what myth can we test and blow shit up at the end' instead.

[Random]

You missed out--they tested whether or not bigger boobs equaled bigger tips. :D

[Drachen596]

Youtube ads are getting a bit out of control, there's not much variety to them if you're watching multiple videos from a single channel.

oh, and it just tried to play an ad that was an ENTIRE MUSIC VIDEO on something i am watching. a 3:30 music video ad on an 18 minute video. wtf.

But yeah. No more Kari Byron? Are they insane?

[Alan P]

I can't imagine for one second they either all have an offer of a show together or they have irons in the fire already. I doubt this was 'Oh, BTW guys, FIRED!! Thanks though!'. Apparently Kari has been working with the White House to try and get more girls to do Sciency and Engineery stuff. Apparently Grant did some series himself recently and I doubt Tori will be out of work either.

I went to a metal show last night. Aside from getting dropped like a sack of potatoes when I was taking a video and not noticing the mosh that had erupted next to me, I think I'm finally beginning to understand what Rob is always going on about.

I carpooled to a Reds game with slm's future a few weeks ago. He was so proud of his custom home stereo setup, where each speaker was driven by its own 600/1000 watt/peak mono amp, and they both had dual wiring, so rather than two speaker wires a piece they were driven by four per speaker.

And he continued his interesting habit of being physically molested by all physical noises inside the office, even with his noise suppression ear muffs on, but then wanting the music cranked. He acts as if he can't concentrate or have any conversation with even a water cooler or microwave being used in the office, but he's more than willing to have a yelling conversation over thumping music.

I'm away on holiday to Rarotonga for a week later today.

Though, I've been unemployed for four months now .... so I guess it really isn't a holiday, in as much as it a change of scene.

Hurrah for what will hopefully be a week of warm weather and beaches. Fingers crossed my friends and I don't kill each other, as it is rather an interesting cross section of personalities going.

I'm sharing a room with my friend's ex wife. I don't see how that could possibly go wrong.

[Drachen596]

the lack of attention some people pay to anything is probably the cause of some peoples killing sprees.

i was just asked "so you didn't work today" by a person who left the house after i was gone and passed the empty spot my car is almost always parked in at least twice during my work day. i worked twelve hours today. TWELVE! you didn't notice the 3500lbs of steel and rubber and plastic car missing from the spot that i park in? nor the fact that i wasn't home?

[Sad, little man]

Has anyone ever felt like their life has so many insane coincidences relating to the people in it that you question if maybe you're making up people in your own head, Fight Club style? Is that even psychologically possible? You know, to just go so far off the rails that you're imagining people? What about if you mainly only communicate with them electronically? Is it possible that I'm writing all of these replies to myself in my sleep under a different account? Maybe occasionally I'm going so insane that I manage to actually imagine a real meeting with this person? Is that possible? How do I tell if they're real?

Most women probably stress out a lot over what clothes to wear on a first date... Me? I'm just trying to figure out what car to drive. The weather will be nice, so I feel that the Milan is off the table. Does the Lotus say "Trying too hard?" If so, maybe the Miata is the subdued yet still classy choice. It's worth noting that it's unlikely that this outing will involve anyone but me riding in the car, so any concerns about the difficult ingress/egress of the Lotus are nullified.

Humping between interested parties is not too complicated.

Just sayin'.

[Leon]

Yeah, but I've been playing out that scenario for a couple of years now, with a few friendly females.

It gets to the point where you actually want an other half, so you can make travel/holiday plans, do stuff on the weekends, and actually have a relationship rather than just friends with benefits.

Sex is relatively easy. Relationships worth having seem to be very elusive (for me)

Oh, I meant with the chick-of-interest. :)

Yeah, been doing that anyway ... but at the point where I start "having feelings", it then all turns to shit. Because if I am interested in a relationship, and she wants to casually play the field, then I'm going to get burned. It is a very much lose situation for me, so better that I bail out entirely. Take some distance, to get away from the "having feelings".

Fuck buddies are uncomplicated, but also unfulfilling.

[speedpimp]

Sometimes its hard to read a person, especially women. Case in point, a lady at work is very sweet and very friendly towards me. I don't know if she is just being that way because that's just her nature or if she's actually flirting. I'm so fucking clueless that I have no idea. About a month ago I got back late on a Saturday and she was the only one there. As I was doing my paperwork she asked me "what's your story?" I gave her the quick version and asked what her story was. Turns out she's single. Very tall. Very pretty. A smile that lights up a room and I've told her so. It's definitely going to be interesting.

[MR2 Fan]

I find the developments recently in North Korea interesting...if anyone hasn't been in the loop, Lil' Kim has been sick for several weeks and not in public, and now the high level NK officials had an unannounced visit to SK and they're resuming "high level talks" again whatever that means.

I wonder what will happen if Lil' Kim dies...who is next in line?

[speedpimp]

Maybe it means they're sick of the shit as well and want something that resembles "normalcy".

[Alan P]

Or he's really sick and NK's doctors can't help him?

[speedpimp]

If that's the case you think that they would've sought help from China.

One of the two operations managers for my warehouse is irritated I'm leaving some information he wants off an update I have to send out at 2:30am.

His solution? Get upset and harass one of the supervisors thats there when I am until the supervisor tells me.

We'll completely ignore that I've had two weeks of training when it should have been at minimum 4 for the position and wasn't told I needed to include this information in the first place. We will instead concentrate on the fact that I am apparently not worth direct contact with so he can't simply reply to the email asking for the information and the fact I have been doing these updates the SAME WAY DAILY FOR TWO WEEKS before it became an issue. Two weeks worth of daily updates and he couldn't have mentioned it before, or since he is usually still there when my shift starts, send me an email or simply stop out and talk to me for 3 minutes on his way out of the complex since he literally has to pass the building I work in to get in or out of the property.

First experience with a strip club...I'd rather sit at home and watch porn.

It was good, but I'd rather watch porn. Less frustrating. It is that whole stripper love. You gotta leave it at the club

[speedpimp]

I've only been to a strip club on business and never on a personal basis. And I always left with them giving me money and usually a tip as well. Delivering pizzas at 18 was fucking awesome. I hear you on the "Stripper Love". I'm too fucking cynical to buy into it. But whatever floats your boat. One thing I do not need is porn or strippers because I have a really creative imagination.

[Drachen596]

One of the guys at work is in love with a stripper. From how he talks about it the stripper is in love with his money.

Well shut the front door, Mr. Obvious. It doesn't take Holmes and Watson to figure that "mystery" out.

[Drachen596]

well it must cause he's sure its true love forever. then again the guy is an idiot..

[overpowered]

If you're in San Francisco, and you've got a lot of cash to blow on strippers, Mitchel Brothers O'Farrell St. Theater is strip club Disneyland. When I went, the worst looking girls were 9's and the action was high for any strip club. However, you paid for that level of hotness and action.

You know what, if it really gets that bad, I think maybe I'd rather just die than spend my life in a bunker eating canned corn. Seriously, what do people get by preparing for the absolute worst case scenario? I mean, if something horrible truly happens, what's it going to be? Like...

In recent news, the Kansas City Royals have made it to the World Series. They did this from the wild card spot, and had not been to a single postseason game since 1985. They did it by sweeping all of their opponents, for an undefeated record in the postseason of 8-0. That is the first time any team has done it...ever. they also did it by beating the team with the best record in baseball, and also against the team with the most home runs.

In other news, since the Royals had their postseason start, there has been no recorded murders. That is a 2 week timeframe on a city that averages just around 2 a week.

All we need to stop the violence is a little baseball ;)

Lori was invited as a special guest to watch the SC Gamecocks women's volleyball game against the Florida Gators last night. She took me along for laughs. I'm sure the participants in the babe war thread would have enjoyed watching. Unfortunately, the Cocks got licked three games to one.

I was watching that on TV for a little bit while I tried to figure out why I had ESPNU (which it was on) and lower, but not ESPN or ESPN2.

They finally explained why one person wears a jersey of a different color (defensive only player), but not why that rule exists.

got to work today to find two people not there, one simply because of a shift swap so he could go to the dentist.

the other because he's in the hospital after being in a 3 car accident Saturday night. he was airlifted along with another person and is in the hospital on a ventilator with some very serious injuries including a broken back. from what we were told by other coworkers who have visited him, he's in an induced coma and they have said there is almost 0 chance he won't have some brain damage.


i'm not a fan of the guy but damn. hoping he heals up well enough to continue working and living a normal life.

[21Kid]

Even if he does... it will be a long, difficult journey.

My stepdad had a really bad work accident (broken ribs, arm, face, brain damage) and he was in the hospital for over 3 months and a rehab facility for another 6. When he was back home it took a long time for him to be able to even do basic functions on his own, like 1.5 years from the initial incident.

He's on permanent disability and it will be a long time before he's "normal" again. :(

[Drachen596]

i've become aware in the last two weeks how much one single person can cause disruptions within a team. oh, and also how much the guys i worked with on days are into high school drama bullshit.

this new girl was hired and started two weeks ago, she's 21, cuteish. the guys on day shift have all pretty much gone full blown horny dogs trying to get her attention. one guy added her on facebook basically the day she started which has caused him to fight with and ultimately breakup with his girlfriend who he has been with since high school and has a child with. from working with him before this his girlfriend was the best thing ever blah blah blah.

now this girl has had two weeks training, barely, and is switching to the night shift with myself and other more experienced and older employees. we haven't decided yet if our boss believes that her two weeks of training is more than enough to put her on her own or if she's simply trying to separate her from the morons on dayshift.

[Leon]

Maybe she has requested it to get away from them?

[Drachen596]

I suppose that is a possibility as well. Though having not been trained right and the guy at night who would be able to do so not wanting to after the company tried to throw him under the bus when they fired the last person he trained means we don't have the ability to do so.

[Drachen596]

after working with the new girl tonight and talking amongst her myself and our other night guy it sounds like she wanted off dayshift due to drama and our boss obliged maybe without knowing the whole story.

some kind of serious training issues going on but nothing that can't be corrected easily.

[thesameguy]

With a soft, steady hand. AMIRITE?

[Drachen596]

I don't even wanna know, but that's an odd description.

Married. Separated but not divorced or planning one apparently.

[Alan P]

Is she hot? Pics?

That would be helpful for us to make a determination of what should happen. We're not embroiled in the love triangle, and thus better suited to make the judgment call.

I'll quote what my friend says...a ring doesn't plug a hole.

[Drachen596]

Not playing where I work. Plus pretty sure shes not interested anyway.

[Drachen596]

no pics will be provided... though i did find out tonight that this girl likely has enough dirt in the form of sexual harassment after 2 weeks to get probably 75% of the guys on dayshift fired because they're all horny morons.
the guy supposed to be training her actually said "if our boss asks you if you're ready to be on your own tell her no because i spent this week of training flirting with you and not actually training"


btw, it does sound like this girl wants to be on night shift away from those guys and has told our boss this, the boss DOES NOT know of the high school drama shenanigans taking place.


if we didnt work together and she was interested i wouldn't be upset or opposed to dating her. that said, not getting into the drama with the day shift morons and her since i still have to work with all of them though far less hours with the day shift guys. also, her mom works in our front office for setting up outbound loads and her moms boyfriend is our spotter at nights.

So yeah gave it a nudge.

Well today... she friend zoned me.

[Yw-slayer]

At least you got in there first. Or did you convince her to stick with women?!!

Found out yesterday that apparently one of the dayshift guys who the new girl shut down decided to help her by teaching her the wrong way to do things...

Seems he is very upset by her not being interested and thought trying to get her fired was a good idea. Thankfully those if us on nights are adults and act like it. Instaed of just telling our boss we just showed her how to do it right.

[Alan P]

And now she thinks he's a twat and you guys are awesome?

[Drachen596]

Well... we are awesome. But thats because we're adults or act least act like it at work...

I like to give people the benefit of the doubt when I can but there are way too many allegations against Bill Cosby for me to not think that there's something to them. This is the guy who has many times given crap to other comedians for working blue and it turns out that he's molested or raped a lot of women. I wish it wasn't true. I loved the Cosby Show. I loved Fat Albert. I loved so many of his standup routines. I don't want to believe it but there's just too many women accusing him. Dammit.

[JoshInKC]

The thing I find really weird about the whole Cosby thing is that I remember some of these allegations coming out like 10 years ago (Around the time of the Democratic Nat'l convention that Obama made that big speech at, maybe?)
Ever since - "Cosby is maybe a date rapist," has been in my head pretty much every time he came up. And then - Hannibal Burress, who I love, but most people had never heard of or seen before does a bit about it onstage and it's suddenly giant news?
Weird times.

[thesameguy]

It's been a while since we've taken down a celebrity, so I think it fits. Either that or we're bombing something right now. Maybe both - good timing?

Australians (and by some measure our Pommy brothers and sisters) have very recently had our childhoods betrayed by Rolf Harris, so we know where you're coming from.

If there could be a scale of sex-offender-crime badness, I'm sure that rape is nowhere near as horrific as kiddie fiddling, but as soon as a guilty verdict is handed down you can begin to truly appreciate how much of a cunt the accused really is, and that allows you to hate them in the proper fashion.

That's until they get out of gaol and write a book. Then you hate them even more.

[Drachen596]

So I hate you guys and may have a small crush on this new girl.

That is all.

[Kchrpm]

DON'T DO IT.

[speedpimp]

That's until they get out of gaol and write a book. Then you hate them even more.

Yeah, make him play soccer, that'll teach 'im.

[Drachen596]

Nothing to do. I doubt shes interested and I can't afford to get fired anyway.

[Kchrpm]

Good. Sensible talk. Don't listen to the instigators on here.

Uh yeah... same girl I got the crush on...

[Leon]

So I hate you guys and may have a small crush on this new girl.

That is all.

The amount you talked about her, kinda saw that one coming ;)

Also, don't do it :) Workplace romance usually = total train wreck.

[Drachen596]

Probably would. But shes awfully cute.

[21Kid]

Isn't she married too?

[Leon]

I'm a bit negative on the subject, as my workplace crushes have turned to train wrecks. Much like my relationships too actually ;)

[Drachen596]

Married but separated with a 9 month old

[George]

Okay. Now you REALLY need to run away.

[21Kid]

No way!!! She has a kid? You KNOW she puts out. ;)

[Drachen596]

Not really something im terribly worried about.

[thesameguy]

I wouldn't either. Test driving your potential kids is so much better than waiting for them to show up and hoping they're ok. This girl is sounding better and better.

[Drachen596]

Not worth trying to exclude women with kids since nearly all of them 24 and over seem to have one anymore...

[Godson]

As a 41 year old single guy, can agree with that. Many women with kids in the singles scene at my age.

not really the kind of guy i am though. if i was going to chase after her it'd be for a long term type relationship, though i don't want to get into some sort of drama due to her husband/exhusband at all. i've got enough shit going on dramawise due to family and i don't need extra.

as i've said before the likelihood of anything happening is extremely low.

[Rare White Ape]

Just go find a stripper named Tiffany. That will sort your drama problems, because all your past issues will seem insignificant.

[Drachen596]

Not a big fan of strippers or strip clubs.

[overpowered]

[GB]

Invite this girl to your house for a 2-person Christmas party:
A box of cheap wine, a pizza, and "Christmas Vacation" on BluRay.

If she isn't interested, she wasn't worth it anyway.

;)

[Cam]

When I was online dating, one of the ladies I was chatting with was a cute, 25 year old (I was 31 at the time) with potential. Then, she mentioned she had a ten-year-old son. :erm: I felt like a jerk for doing so, but I was honest with her and told her I didn't want to date a woman with kids. When you're going on 2-3 dates a week, you have to cut through the chaff. :lol:

It must be really demoralizing being a Corning engineer working on Gorilla Glass... Working day in and day out making tougher and tougher glass, knowing that people are still just going to cover it up with a 5 cent piece of plastic to prevent it from scratching anyway.

[speedpimp]

Sometimes you really need to pay attention to what is written on your clothing or hat. Case in point, today a coworker was making a delivery to a small diner and as he walked in several patrons suddenly got up and promptly locked themselves in a restroom until he left. Turns out he was wearing a ball cap that said "US BORDER PATROL". The owner of the diner asked him if he was really Border Patrol, he said "no", then he was asked why he was wearing that hat and he said to "cover my head". He now has a hat with our employer's name and logo on it.

Guilty! :D

[Drachen596]

you ever find things out that you didn't realize or something that someone hasn't been very straightforward about?
this is unrelated to the work stuff entirely, and is instead family related.

i didnt realize that my two grandfathers died a year and 19 days apart.



as for the gorilla glass guy, just wait till someone develops a super cheap way to make diamond sheets that are perfectly clear.

[overpowered]

I gave up on the screen covers a long time ago. The bubbles were annoying. The gorilla glass is amazingly good.

Any idea what to say when asking if a unit in our condo building will be up for rent?

There is only 1 unit per floor that is 3 bedroom. So, I cross referenced that with the county tax records to see who uses a different mailing address for their unit. These 5 units are potential rentals or maybe someone's 2nd home.

I'm trying to put together a letter to the unit owners asking if the unit will be up for rent this spring/summer. Not sure how to start it without sounding like a creepy stalker.

[Cam]

I started an acting class.
We were split into groups to do a scene and were given lines to work with. I was teamed up with a young man and woman, neither of which was older than 20. The lady is on a sports team, fit, with nice blue eyes. The scene involved the young lady's character trying to get my character to tell her how he feels about her. At one point, we were trying different ways to deliver our lines. She got right in my face, looked into my eyes and delivered her line, "So how do you feel about me?" I gotta admit, it got this old guy kind of flustered by her convincing performance. :lol:

Word your letter so that it implies that you're asking everybody if their unit is for rent.

I guess I should go to acting class...

Did you tell her???

:D

[Cam]

No. My character lies to her and basically says they're just friends, despite his real feelings. :p After our prof watched us practice, he said, "This is really good." I think he was pleasantly surprised. :) Everyone did their final performances on Tuesday. We nailed ours and I'm pretty sure we got As. :up:

I get kind of sentimental on the last day of class. You get to know some nice classmates over the semester, yet the last day comes and you know you'll probably never see these people again. :(

[thesameguy]

It's weird being in an education scenario where everyone actually wants to be there. Even in a lying class, it probably makes the whole experience more genuine. ;)

I advise a planned trip the bar after class. That's how you cement the friendships you want to last. IME, anyhow.

[Cam]

I honestly thought about asking my theatre group for a beer after the final. I immediately realized they are not old enough to be in a bar. :lol:

I know of a cute 21 year old that could go to the bar.

[Rare White Ape]

Word your letter so that it implies that you're asking everybody if their unit is for rent.

I would simply say, "Hi I am interested in moving out of my current unit and moving into one of the larger 3 bedroom units. Would you be happen to know if any of them could potentially be up for rent soon? Thanks, etc."

Just be polite and to the point.

[21Kid]

:D I ran into my landlord last night. He might be buying a 4th unit on our floor. (He lives in one and rents the other two.) And he might rent his 3 bedroom to us if he buys the one down the hall. :fingers crossed: That would be awesome. He's a great landlord. :D:up:

[Drachen596]

Really tired of people expecting me to be financially responsible for not only myself but them as well.

im single, not married and I have no kids. My only financial responsibilities shoulds be myself and my cat. Not everyone else in my family that cant save money for anything.


in other news... why am I hoping new girl makes a showing at the bowling alley tonight? I know with 99.9999% certainty shewont be not after spending all fay I the car to go ge her daughter and dealing with her soon to be ex.

[thesameguy]

1. Too bad, you are.
2. Because penis.

[Drachen596]

1. Which is why I am pissed because I was saving to replace my car and/or get a motorcycle cash come spring.

2. Maybe but its not really sex I am looking for or I don't think it is anyway.

New Career?

[Drachen596]

going to do whatever i can to forget new girl exists as any sort of romantic possibility. wish me luck.

[Leon]

Wise plan.

Give it 6 weeks, and you'll probably be acutely aware of the massive level of drama associated with every aspect of her and think "dodged a bullet"

[Drachen596]

time shall tell..

in the mean time my vacation ends Monday and we'll see if theres some kind of shit storm going on at work then. supervisor apparently told new trainee #1 they could have my shift even though i have seniority at the company AND in the position. new trainee #1 does not want to work back half of the week. new Trainee #2 is probably going to have issues of the severe variety with the training. i feel like new trainee #1 is going to quit if she doesnt get the hours she thought and if New Trainee #2 fails out of training that means 7 days a week for me again until someone qualified IS trained...

this is both good and bad for me. 7 days a week is a great paycheck especially with double time on the 7th day. downside is however many weeks of 77 or 78 hours a week straight with no real time off except for the upcoming holidays of Christmas Day and New Years Day. yeah.. thats right i'd be working on New Years Eve if they're working in the warehouse. they did last year.

[speedpimp]

I was doing my daily routine of fucking around on Facebook when I noticed my niece posting A LOT of pics of her and her brother. Then I read a post from my nephew's cousin about feeling lost and totally sad. I read a little further and realized that my nephew's dad had died. A quick call to my dad's wife and she tells me he committed suicide. I knew him for thirty years and never thought he'd do this. FFS.

[Godson]

Damn. Sorry man

[TheBenior]

Shit.

[Yw-slayer]

Sorry to hear it, bro. Hope you all pull through OK.

[speedpimp]

Thanks guys. The ones I'm concerned about the most are my nephew, his sister and their dad's mom. Can't even imagine what's going through their heads right now.

[Drachen596]

Get to work hour later new girl shows up and within maybe 5 minutes of being here she hugs me and says she thought I needed some loving.

damnit..

[Kchrpm]

It's a trap.

[Drachen596]

Its a good one....

[Sad, little man]

That's some class 4 crazy behavior right there, proceed with caution. If the situation escalates to class 3, terminate the mission. If it goes to class 2, evacuate the area.

[speedpimp]

If things weren't fucky enough already, I got a text late last night telling me my step-sister is in the hospital. Called her today and found out she had a "mild" heart attack. Something on the left side of her heart wasn't getting enough blood flow. I told her to try and stick around for a while because her son really needs her right now.

[Drachen596]

I think I like crazy?

[Godson]

We all like crazy, anyone who says otherwise is lying.


Crazy does not equate to good though...well maybe in some areas. I'd follow slms suggestion.

Rich, I am sorry to hear about the troubles you and your fam are going through.

[Sad, little man]

As a connoisseur of crazy, I can say that it's important to be able to pick out the proper flavor and intensity of crazy. You don't want to go too crazy because you'll never be able to keep that train on the tracks. It will just keep flying off like a slot car with worn out magnets piloted by a naive toddler. If you're going to get involved with crazy, you need someone who's got a handle on the crazy.

No one's telling you you can't have crazy just like no one will tell you you can't scale Mount Everest. You just have to understand the risks and know what you're doing. In either case, if you don't, you may end up with a sharp object being driven into your spleen.

[George]

Rich, I am sorry to hear about the troubles you and your fam are going through.

Same here. Best wishes to you and yours, sir.

[GB]

I think Meghan Trainor is cute.

[Drachen596]

talked with new girl for about an hour and 20 minutes after our shifts tonight. figured out the reason for the hugs and a lot of other things.
voiced my concern that with the other issues she's had at work i'm not sure how randomly hugging me would make her look.

i still think she's cute as hell but i'm not going to try and date her, not at this point in time anyways. there's a lot going on and i'm sure i wouldn't be helping at all.

[FaultyMario]

Rich, I am sorry to hear about the troubles you and your fam are going through.

However limited our support might be, you know we're there for you, grandote.

[Kchrpm]

Killing time during a slow night at Hooters, me and a few of the girls were playing Catch Phrase. When "Owl" was the word, I just pointed at the owl on the shirt of the girl next to me and said "one of these."

"Booby!"
"Boob!"
"Titty!"
"Nipple!"
"Bra!"

By the time they got to owl, it was anti-climactic.

[Rare White Ape]

Damn, that climaxing thing happened to early huh?

I tried to make it last as long as possible, but with three girls going for it at the same time, only so much a man can do.

She sounds like the focus of vast amounts of drama.

I could be reading too much of my own background / issues into this reply, but while women who seem to need to be rescued are good in that you get to be a white knight and stuff ... well, typically there is a reason they need to be rescued (not always, but usually). That reason being their own issues.

I "rescued" a workmate who was in a messed up relationship, and she became my flatmate.

That was all very exciting.

Then she turned out to have a serious drinking problem, and then went back to drug use.

So at that stage I asked her to depart. The only saving grace was that by then, I had resigned from the job where I used to work with her. She was one of the major reasons I left that job, couldn't take that much crazy.

[Drachen596]

i'll likely be fighting the crush on her for a while but it'll pass. it's not like shes interested in me anyway.
i also have no interest in being involved in the drama.

i feel vaguely disappointed and relieved with my decision.

[thesameguy]

I "rescued" a workmate who was in a messed up relationship, and she became my flatmate.

I "rescued" a girl who was in a bad relationship, and she fairly quickly became my roommate. We had a lot of great sex and then she met a guy and got married and had some kids.

So nyah.

:p

[Leon]

Oh, I didn't say that I was platonic with my alco druggie flatmate ...

[Drachen596]

No hugs since Monday and shes been a little bit cold towards me since then.

[Cam]

Manipulation. Do not pursue.

[Drachen596]

seems like it. She hugged some other guy yesterday and then has been talking about how cute various guys are at work from a couple of lift operators to some of the truck drivers.

[Sad, little man]

I just want to say that Albanese brand gummy bears may be the best gummy bears I've ever had. If not, they're definitely the second best. They make Haribos taste like shit, and they're cheaper too! A 5lb bag is like $8!

[21Kid]

Apparently (http://www.albanesecandy.com/) they are the World's Best!

Who knew!?!

But these have the World's Best user reviews on Amazon!
