I’m in. Where’s the exit? This place stinks of carbonic acid and dirt.
Sorry it’s like the Hotel California….you can check out anytime you like but you can never leave.
I bet you wear pumped up kicks.
This makes me want to buy a gun. Or just find one of them around here.
I saw them live a little over a year ago. They were awesome.
Foster the People?
yes
Mild mannered supermen are held in kryptonite.
ptbnl wins The Lounge.
I have too many damn things to grade tonight…..I might just give everyone a B.
Grade them on their curves.:)
THE GIRLS WIN!!!
I represent this remark!
I sure hope so! You sound lovely, lynn
Happy to see you, hun. :)
ungh!
Based on their ceilings or their floors?
Those cute kids in Bed’s fourth period class are all non-prospects, as far as I’m concerned.
I’m working on two computers while listening to my mp3 player and juggling chainsaws…..damn, I’m good.
I’m Monte Carlo-ing the Universe.
… aaaaand I’ve just generated a realization in which Jeremy slid, Miggy kept on running, and Brynes touched home.
…but Rick Santorum is world emperor?
That one seg-faulted.
You should have a blog called alt-uni watch.
okay that’s a lie….I’m not listening to my mp3 player.
It’s like 67 outside….I should be at the golf range.
Most annoying weather issue where I live is the wind. We did get a couple inches of snow early this morning but it warmed up quickly and it melted immediately. It’s occasionally snowed a bit during the day and when it does it comes in sideways because of that blasting wind.
It was extremely windy here last night…drove the dog nuts.
We had some snow here this morning, too, which is pretty unusual here for this late in the winter. Should have some tomorrow, as well, but, like you, none of it is sticking.
You’d say that no matter what the temp was.
I actually ate some kraut for dinner but it wasn’t free….it just felt wrong.
Like most teachers I was inspired to become a teacher by the film Summer School….much like Mr. Shoop I do it mostly to have the summer’s off…..also like Mr. Shoop I need some bread for this peanut butter and jelly.
Top 5 places I want to visit….England, Australia, Spain, Brazil and Burbank.
Even at D- Burbank is overrated.
but…but….but…they always say it’s lovely downtown Burbank.
New Zealand looks gorgeous. It’s on the very short list. I cheaped out on the winter vacation this year by choosing a south Florida beach to lay on but if I feel like spending some money maybe St. Maarten (“I’ve gotta fly to Saint Somewhere…”).
Top 5 places I actually want to visit….England, Australia, Spain, Brazil and Christina Hendricks’ chest.
Duh, Scotland or Ireland.
February 29th was Brian29’s favorite day….may he rest in peace.
Third on the career list of base hits by players born on February 29. Actually 824 is higher than I would have guessed for his career total. Pepper Martin is #1 with 1227 hits and Al Rosen is second with 1063.
Hey you actually do research for your posts….I’ve never tried that before.
It would make sense, I suppose, to list journeyman reliever Steve Mingori as the third-best Feb. 29-born MLB player ahead of Long, based on career WAR. Mostly, I’m just stupefied that T. Long is the fourth-best in history on any list you can possibly conceive of.
The only thing I remember about Terrence Long is that he’s named Terrence Long.
I remember that he saved a game by robbing Manny of a would-be game-winning home run at Fenway. And I think he had a big home run against the Yankees once. And that apart from those two moments he was terrible.
here!
i also liked his low and inside golf swing HR into the stairs move.
Billy Koch running all the way into right field to congratulate him, that was unforgettable. P.S. the batter was Manny Ramirez.
T long and Frank Menochino signed a baseball for me before an A’s game, I still have it.
He’s second in career WAR among (the five) players named Terrence, just behind Terry Fox, and well ahead of third-place Terry “lucky he’s in fkin baseball ferchrissake” Crowley.
Crowley managed to hang out in the big leagues for 15 consecutive seasons from 1969-1983 (OK, I’m sure there was a fair amount of AAA time mixed in there but he was your standard 5th-outfielder/pinch-hitter so I bet he was in the majors a lot more than not) while accumulating just 2.3 WAR. You definitely don’t see that anymore.
You ever feel like the 3rd lead in a bad NBC sitcom?
Nah, my life is so boring not even NBC would air it.
My life is pretty much televisable only on Logo or Spike.
or maybe G4
You ever wonder if it’s ever truly going to be Hammer Time?
You ever wonder what ever happened to Judd Nelson?
Won’t you come see about me, I’ll be alone, dancing you know it baby.
You ever wonder if she’s faking her orgasams?
Why should it concern me? Sounds like that is her problem.
No, I’m absolutely positive that she’s faking them.
TBH i know more men that fake them then women.
Sounds like they’re doing it wrong…
How the hell does a man fake it? Pull out and spit on her back?
Thanks, and go As.
A man who spurts a small amount of ejaculate, yet has a nice hard flex and thrust, can fake an orgasm, especially in a well-lubed situation.
Condoms. and what SPWC says.
Sometime Ill tell you the story of “I love you” Girl
clearly my joke was wasted on you both.
also go register for my league dammit.
Thanks, and go As.
Women who fake orgasms are stupid.
IFSU stupid orgasms fake you.
Necessary evil, man. Necessary evil.
Not necessary. Not at all.
Necessary evil, girl. Necessary evil.
Disagree. Sometimes it’s the only way to get a dude to leave you alone when you’re good, you’re awesome, the train just ain’t hitting that particular station tonight and it’s really nothing personal or a comment on him. Since some dudes just take it so *personally*.
Since, y’know, communication doesn’t always actually, like, work. Faking it, however, lets a girl get some goddamn SLEEP.
I understand what you’re saying but in that scenario, you should make it clear to the guy that this particular ride is about him getting to his destination and to not worry about his fellow passenger.
And if you’re with a guy who doesn’t/can’t get that… I’ll be honest, that’s stupid. Mostly on your part but a significant chunk on his part as well.
Some dudes just have their ego tied up in that, regardless of what you tell them.
I find unrelenting honesty to be pretty stupid, so, y’know. To each his or her own.
Im kinda particular and sometimes you just want a romp and to be done with it even if it doesnt end the way the textbooks say it should. Girls really get their ego all messed up.
This is especially true with bjs.
You’re right. Everyone prioritizes differently and no way does one plan fit all.
No innuendo intended.
I hear ya.
When you’re with a guy who cares, you’re only hurting yourself. But I suppose it makes sense to play the odds instead.
When you’re with a guy who cares TOO MUCH, you’ll end up with some injuries if you don’t.
Hmm… that’s… fair. Helps not to have too much of an ego about that sort of thing. The “love yah, but it just ain’t happening tonight” isn’t too big a deal. It’s much better than “Um… no. Let’s just not do that ever again, just… HEELLLL no, dude.”
Accepting the first is definitely the best way to not end up with the second. XD
A lot of truth to that. I kind of look at it like baseball. If I can get a good .300-.350 success rate, I’m good. If I’m hitting near Mendoza line, it might be time to release me find a better hitter. Doesn’t mean I don’t hope for better than that, but I know my limits and I know I could never measure up to a good vibrator or a quality shower head in her own hands.
Gotta use slugging percentage, man, not batting average
Well then I’m fucked.
Also Love ya that was fun but im done is a lot easier if you are with a person youve been with for a while than someone that you just met.
I wish they didn’t have to but I guess I can understand how fragile my ego is.
However, if you fake and then complain that “YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG” YEARS LATER..then yeah you get what you deserve. The answer, as always, communication.
To each their own, of course.
I don’t do casual sex. I’ve never had a one night stand. I have been intimate (can’t say I’ve been “in love” each time) with every woman I’ve ever been to bed with. Sex is about trust and openness, no pun intended. Therefore…
DO. NOT. LIE. TO. ME.
Must stop now before rant turns epic.
Oh I agree and I am probably close to the winner here for the “keeping partners apecial and unique” game. And my comment (at least the first part) was more in jest than anything.
But yeah-as terrible as it would be to hear how it sucked and was bad, its much worse to lie. Both for that time, and even more if you care about the person enough that you may be doing it again in the future.
Exactly right on the repeat sex.
“Oh. You faked the first time we slept together but you haven’t since.”
Some lies only need to be told once to create doubt in the future.
And see this reminds me of my friend’s marital drama too. Wife ignores/glosses over/lies about true feelings for quite some time so she “won’t hurt hubby’s feelings”. Then she gets to the point thatits too much and is out the door. My friend hears for the first time that there is a real problem when she is saying “i dont love you anymore so lets not try and work this out.”
Now inj that case of course I also tell my friend that he needs to be paying attention and should have known something. But again-if you are faking you shouldnt expect the other person to change and real improvement to happen.
I’m familiar with that particular brand of vodka…
Don’t go blaming your friend, yet. I know in my case that I realized there was “something” wrong and tried, repeatedly to talk to my now ex about what was going on. And she gave several convincing answers (lost her job, couldn’t get pregnant, Dad had cancer, etc.) all the while going out of her way to not bring up how she wasn’t sure if she still loved me.
So, not knowing what if any signs your friend may have missed but believe you me when you talk to your significant other about “what’s wrong” and they reply that they’re upset about their father undergoing chemo for colon cancer and how they’re anxious about not being able to find a new job… yeah, those are sufficient reasons to be upset about and make an effective smoke screen to hide other issues.
Right. This is what happened to me. I knew something was wrong but getting her to tell me what I was doing that was problematic and how she wanted me to fix it was the problem. Me trying to fix things on my own made things worse. It sucked. Im really sorry this happened to you. I couldn’t imagine how much that would suck if I had a kid with her and had been married and was older. Im sorry dude.
I made a lot of mistakes with my ex and we’re both responsible for the failure of our marriage. One of my worst mistakes was my need/thinking to “fix” her problems.
I still lay most of the fault for our end on her, though. =D
:-)
And g, I don’t know if I have said it before, and if I have I havent said it enough..DFA’s right and I still fell terrible for you.
For my friend it is real wierd for me because we are such good friends with him and his wife, so Mrs. Aces is getting to hear the other side of the story and brings me intel. (She sides with the wife as far as the ultimate causes, but thinks the way my friends wife is going about it and what she is doing no is utter BS especially since she loves my friend and knows he is a good guy). It makes me sick to hear how my friend’s wife has told him “don’t persue me just give me space or you will push me away faster” and then tells my wife how she can’t believe he isnt trying to make eforts and trying to persue her.
Never, ever, try and make me feel better by saying DFA is right.
Don’t mind me, I’m venting. ‘Tis good for me.
That said, from my perspective, your friend is screwed. His marriage is over and his missus is playing your wife to keep her on her side. (Again, that’s my perspective.) It really doesn’t matter who is more at fault for the problems in the relationship; if both sides aren’t working towards addressing them and making things right then the marriage needs to end, officially. I can get that she needs “space”. Or time. Or whatever she/you/whomever wants to call it. Everyone has their own way of processing the pain and heartache… the key is to be selfish without hurting the other person.
If your friend’s wife is fucking some other guy while trying to deal with what’s going on in her relationship with her husband then she’s crossed the line of doing what’s best for her and is solidly in the land of hurting your friend. Because I don’t care what the soaps say Susie doesn’t need to go off and bang Rocco to figure out if she loves Bill and wants to be with him.
“Susie” is acting in such a way that you may soon have to choose to be friends with either her or “Bill”. You’ve only told me parts of the story and I’m sure the whole thing is far more complex then you’ve shared or as I’ve described in the soap opera metaphor. But right now “Susie” sounds like an immature bitch and “Bill” an idiot but faithful friend.
Personally I deal with bitches much, much better than I can deal with idiots. But immature vs. faithful? No doubt which side I choose there.
You would think after all this time I would know better…Let me try more helpful phrasing..
g you are 100% on the money. And your great points are only matched by your stunning good looks. (And I actually love that we can all vent here so always keep it coming).
And yeah, the situation is deeper than I’ve put down because I assume no one wants a half hour front page post about ghost hunting, Master’s degrees, and aromatherapy. But you hit all the big points dead on and there is no decision: “Bill” is my friend and “Susie is pretty much dead to me. Mrs. Aces can ride the nuanced fence as much as she wants but she knows that, no matter if they should be together or not the way it is being handled by “Susie” is no-good.

I’ve expressed how much lying bothers me.
Done.
Sounds like she’d Already Made Up Her Mind.
If you try to preserve the person’s feelings, you’re fucked.
If you tell the person and they take it badly, you’re also fucked.
If you tell the person and they don’t listen/don’t take you seriously, you’re still fucked.
The only way to live is to go into the mountains and be a hermit.
That’s certainly my plan.
I’m already there.
I look forward to my new friends, the squirrels!
Good bunch.
If you tell the person and they listen, you’re fucked, he’s satisfied and you get a restful night’s sleep.
I’ll admit guys can be extremely insecure about this. Hell, I’ve been insecure about this! But honesty breeds more honesty and dishonesty subverts what has already been built.
But I’ll grant this much… if you do fake, don’t ever EVER tell the guy. Don’t tell your best friend or write it in your diary. It’s a secret you take to the grave. Most people can’t keep that kind of secret and when it comes out it tends to bite them in the ass… but if you think you can keep the secret… OK.

Or just accept that there are 7bn people in the world and youve only hooked up with several large handfuls and expecting to find the awesome in those handfuls is unrealistic.
About as a good a reason to sleep around or promote promiscuity I’ve ever heard. “You’ve been with X or Y people in your life and you’ve never been satisfied? Ha! You haven’t tried anywhere near a single percent of the possibilities. Keep trying!”
Well I appreciate you validating my worldview.
If he had said handcuffs instead of handfuls…
Alright friends. I know that it’s gonna sound icky to some of you, but seriously, it’ll solve a lot of yr problems…
go gay/bi.
turn queer.
teach yourself how to love your own gender. it might not be as hard as you think.
Since this site is behind google shields, I can say the following…
not every single gay person is born that way. to some people, it is a choice. it’s politically bad to say at this time because it gives the goddamn conservatives too much ammo in the public venue, but a generation from now, it can be talked about openly in mixed company.
Why might one turn queer/bi, one might ask. Two big reasons… It greatly enlarges your potential dating pool, and it enlarges said pool with people who think differently than the people you used to date. A lot of communication problems are nonexistent in relationships among like thinkers with the same hormones flowing through them in the same cycle.
Uh, already am, problems still exist.
No one appreciates “Baby, it’s not that I love you less… it’s just that I love baseball *more*.” :(
and thus back to the “faking orgasms” dilemma, but in another form.
An interesting suggestion. Problem is, I have much better relationships with women than I do men. Plus, with my luck, I’d still have to be the one asking for a phone number and I am just SO tired of doing that.
That’s been my quiet observation for some time. I’m glad to hear you confirm it.
When you’re working with such a complex set of variables such as gender identification, sexual attraction, individual libido, and human sexual response–then throw in free will and conscious behavior, it doesn’t surprise me that, as you say, for some it is a choice.
I don’t pretend to be an expert in the subject or have an all-encompassing unifying theory but I do have my experience with a sister who came out as gay in high school, then after a series of lesbian relationships and a failed lesbian marriage, met and fell in love with a transgender man (female to male) to whom she has been happily married the last 13 years. And there is also my best friend from childhood, who was straight until college, then bi, then married a woman with whom he had two kids, then became divorced and now identifies himself as gay.
People can be complicated and so, too, their motivations/desires for love and sex.
So, too, their need for union and life long commitment.
Yes, that too.
Sounds like plenty of sex to me
Communication is ideal.
The world isn’t always ideal.
You ever wonder about The Wonder Years?
We’ll be going to exotic and exciting Fort Smith, Arkansas this weekend….please don’t be jealous.
goin’ up to Hefley country, eh?
My best sport has always been pocket pool.
You aren’t strangling your trouser snake, are you?
A train is going 37 miles per hour….a giraffe is going 14 miles per hour….an otter is going 2 miles per hour….a cyclone is blowing at 197 miles per hour….Aquaman is swimming at 15 knots per hour….Rush Limbaugh is bloviating at 237 words per minute….Commander Shepard is killing 2 Reapers per hour….The Dear Leader is banning 3 people per day…..Bruce Willis is making 2 bad movies per year…..who gets to Cleveland first?
If you get arrested for attempted murder that just means you didn’t try hard enough.
i just signed a petition to make attempted suicide a capital crime.
I agree. How dare they try to get out of paying their taxes!
A hot girl came up to me today and asked if I’d like to go do some fracking and I have to tell you the earth literally moved.
Did it leave you with burning water?
I don’t care what everybody says you’re alright.
Worst movie sequel of all time?
Sex and The City 2. Aargh!
does it count if the worst movie of all times happens to be a sequel? (troll 2.)
The 2nd Matrix movie.
And the 3rd Matrix movie.
Godfather III. Either that or Blues Brothers 2000. I get them mixed up.
Rocky V
Can i put in an early bvote for Ghostbusters 3 without Bill Murray?
Rocky 5… thousand.
I sure hope people are safe at all the Leap Year parties tonight….those things can get freaky.
I have a $5,000 piece of glass sitting in the dock of the Pacific Design Center that is unprotected. I totally fucked up. :{
Boobs?
WHERE?!?!?
Ummm… all over the internet.
Kind of slow tonight….it might be the perfect time to do my one man play on Englebert Humperdinck.
I learned to dance to The Last Waltz. How schmaltzy is that?
When did you learn? When? When? When?
At St. Johns Catholic School. Whitchy lives right by there.
1969, I think.
I have about 100 Claritin non-drowsy one-per-24-hours pills which expire tomorrow. If I take them all tonight I should be allergy free until June, right?
I don’t see how anything could go wrong with that plan.
What does expiring really mean in this context?
Today’s clinicals were at a home for children that were in the state’s custody. Saddest day of clinicals yet.
My nephew is in a state home. This reminds me that I need to let his home mother know that I want to take him out to see The Hunger Games. Thanks for the reminder.
I wanted to adopt at least three of these kids. You don’t know why they are at the school until the end of the day, then it breaks your fking heart. One of the boys had been in 15 foster homes and institutions in 4 years. He was 11. His parents are in prison for drugs, his other two siblings were adopted and he wasn’t. They have him set goals for his stay, and his goal was to get adopted and leave the group home. Other kids had goals that were like, keep my room clean and maintain rewarded activity level of a certain amount. He was soooo freaking smart. He said he just wants someone to stay in his life for once. KILLED ME.
Another 11 year old boy kicked my ass playing chess. At the end of the day, he thanked me and gave me a hug. Why was he there? He was molested and had sex with his twin brother a few years ago.
we are messed up
I will still opine..
Seriously, it’s stories like this that give one so much perspective about what we bitch about ay in and day out
I guess it’s true that sometimes you don’t realize how much you’ll miss something until it’s gone.
I luv you, man.
Did you lose the remote control?
I miss my virginity. It’s been the hardest 3 weeks of my life.
SH-LONG!!!
SH-ORT!!!
So… should the 49ers sign Hines Ward?
No.
Thanks, and go As.
If you feel like posting a lounge please do so….I think I’ve been a bit of a ball hog when I’ve been here so I won’t post one for awhile.
It ain’t like that at all.
Post one when you feel like it. Post five in a night if you want to.
No, it’s too much of just me talking to myself.
No, darling, its not.
Its a public service, and we appreciate it.
Yeah but frankly I’m about out of things to say. I have to admit I miss the days of 1,500 post lounges with 50 or so people playing off each other and it kind of seems like that’s not going to happen anymore.
No, its not. But we still love you. Its an adjustment for everybody.
Sometimes change sucks….but thank you for your nice words I appreciate it.
Your lounges are very much appreciated, babe. Trust me.
thousand times this. even though I sleep through most of your comments, I enjoy reading them the day after. a lot.
Yeah… it’s kinda like reading Dave Barry tweets, if Dave Barry actually tweets.
Did you say something?
I don’t think I’ve actually said anything in 3 years….well, except when I’m talking about VORP.
Everytime Google changes something it’s more complicated than it was before.
Isnt that how everything is? Everytime I turn around I hear FB has made some change thats now made it way more complicated and stuff..
Anyone going to the spring training game in Mesa on Sunday against the Cubs? I’m in town for business and want to go. Not sure if it will be a bitch of a ticket since it’s the Cubs.
Update. It’s not a tough ticket. I just got one behind home plate. Yay!
Usually tickets are easy to come by for the first week or so. The second or third full weeks of spring training are the busiest with the weekend between those, which would be March 17-18 this year, being peak time/stay away.
Hiya jeepers!
How’s it going, FSU? Just moved to CT, so naturally, I am in AZ for two weeks of new hire training.
Very considerate of your employer to send you to AZ during spring training.
I spent a summer in Hartford CT years ago. It was OK I thought. A little sleepy I guess. But I had a super-enthusiastic girlfriend.
A super-enthusiastic girlfriend could make Lubbock tolerable. Hartford is like a lot of the cities in CT (not that there are many)–economically depressed for decades and struggling to reinvent itself. They were making some progress the last time I was there, though.
The worst part of teaching is seeing a kid you know is having problems and not really being able to do anything about it.
Imagine being the parent in that scenario. Some children aren’t meant to learn that way.
Mine wasn’t. And thanks y’all for making me feel less than adequate about that.
Not you, Bed. I’m talking in general.
Like in all walks of life there are good teachers and bad ones.
Indeed.
I watched Bad Teacher this last weekend.
Bad movie.
I also watched Perfect Sense. Scary and Amazing!
I heard Bad Teacher was pretty awful.
Jason Segel is the best thing about it.
I only know him from that movie he made with Mila Kunis which was fun.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
Yeah….I just realized that I did the same thing he did in that movie. I went to Hawaii after a break up and then fell in love. I didn’t make a stage play with muppets however.
Omg!
Didn’t make a stage play with Muppets YET!
Seriously. Bed’s go a lot Jason Segal in him. He can pull off a muppet musical.
Perfect Sense has Ewan MacGregor and the chick from the James Bond Casino Royale movie.
They lose their senses, one by one. Its kind of horrific.
Yet, while they lose them, they make up for them. When they lose their sense of smell, they focus on their sense of taste, and so on, until they lose their sight.
Scary!
I hear what you are saying, lynn. It makes it tough on the parents. One advantage to homeschooling, is that there is the ability to adapt the curriculum to enhance the student’s chances. We are changing our 6th grade son’s to a vocational based education. That would be impossible in a public school setting. Unfortunately, most parents aren’t in the position to be able to do this.
I wish I could have done that.
What we went through, trying to fit a square peg onto a round hole.
Did Oz leave to go watch old tapes of Hines Ward?
I find it highly ironic that my company chose “Employee Relations” as the email alias which sends out our sexual harassment policy.
And the eager pack lift up their pitchers
they carry all they lack
Howdy
hey you! long time no Lounge
Look at all that hair on Phil….thanks as always for the video.
This song makes me cry
the end of the Piscean age, and with it the advent of the Aquarian age
and the haters will wither away into oblivion, not a moment too soon
TC finale!
You’re a wonderful group of folks. I’m going to take a little break so be well and I’ll see you down the line.
Come back soon, we get to missin you something fierce when you’re gone.
Yay! Paul wins!
Thank God!
(checks morning news headlines to see if Ringo died last night)
Ringo’s gonna outlive Paul, methinks.
Guys, I can’t even describe the level of sorrow and tragedy I feel over Davy Jones’s passing.
IS A WORLD WITHOUT MY MONKEES A WORLD WORTH LIVING IN?
You should focus your bitterness at Mike Naismith for being such an intellectual snob and not touring with the boys since 1997.
nesmith gets a pass on anything/everything he wants forever, on the repo man executive production alone.
I’m a fan of how he helped pioneer the introduction of music videos to the U.S. in the 80’s. (They were already big in Australia/NZ)
he also was present at the initial pairing of country & rock, with his First National Band records, which are FK’ing awesome.
I have bitterness towards any of the Monkees, I cannot hate on my beloved Mike Nesmith. He makes his choices, he’s allowed to move on, in joy and in peace.
I love the Monkees, for better or worse, just as they are. :(
without liquid paper, there is not repo man
Well, I missed bed again. dear bed, i miss you!
So here’s a funny thing.
I was on FB and in the ‘People you might know’ section an old friend popped up. So I sent an friend request to them. The problem being – I think their account is invisible ‘cos I searched for their name and I literally can’t find them.
Is that even possible? Why would it come up in the ‘People you might know’ section if they’re invisible?
maybe they’ve blocked you in advance?
Then why would they come up on my ‘People you may know’ list?
I had a friend search for them – they also couldn’t find the profile.
I think I might be going slightly mad.
I don’t do the Facebook. But my guess would be that old friend made a profile, then deleted it (or changed it or renamed it or made it more private or something). The original profile still triggers the people you might know function, but you cannot now actually get to it.
Unless I’m mistaken, you can hide your profile from searches, but the “People you may know” section is pulled from mutual contacts so it’s a whole separate thing. Removing yourself from searches, doesn’t make you invisible, it just makes it so the only people who are within a degree or two of separation will find you find.
Well I have this person’s email address – which is where I assume the ‘People you may know’ section pulled the name from.
I don’t think they’ve blocked me specifically, but you never know.
I don’t think it works that way. I have never added any address books, yet I get people suggested all the time, too – I really think it scnas your contacts and suggests the ones from there
Other people put their address books in, and it will suggest them to you as friends if you are in their address book. In addition to using the network data it already has from your existing contacts.
FB’s People you might know sections should be retitled People you might have slept with and don’t want to talk to anymore.
I can’t say that would apply for me.
would someone please give me the link to elcroata’s blog?

1 Kate Nash is unbelievably underrated as a musical performer.
2 GUBA! Thanks Mikev.
3 Hott Buttered Rum is the shit. Looooove it.
4 I really like being back. Its nice to feel like me again. Its weird how you can just lose that for a while.
5 I clean my room in case I take people home, and its really the only reason.
6 Im really quite excited about this weekend.
7 I love you all. Seriously.
8 I have a really hard time keeping the fact that I have contempt for people hidden. This is even more true if people are in positions of power.
8. In most career paths, but especially in the political one, people have long memories and hold grudges, so it’s worth developing your contempt-hiding skills. Mine are excellent, but even so, a couple instances years ago of indulging my (correct) feeling of superiority mean that even to this day there are some politicians I need to steer clear of. Which is annoying.
I mean if you think that I think that I have contempt for you and you ask me and I change the subject, why would you change it back? The answer is yes I think youre going to fuck shit up and I don’t trust your competency.
You run into incompetents who are above you in hierarchies all the time. If they’re pressing you like that, it means that already suspect you don’t respect them. Confirming their suspicions doesn’t help you, no matter how correct you are, or how good it feels in the moment.
That’s why it’s good to gather/create severe dirt against them, so you can hold them under your thumb and have them in your desperate debt.
You’re gonna take the Taipei Tigers?
Good. I only volunteered in case there were no other volunteers.
2. You’re really going to fit in there well. Like, absurdly well.
Thanks, and go As.
5 the only reason most people put on fresh underwear every day
5. Strangely enough, that I *know* I won’t be taking people home. Infer from that what you will.
Mikev, bojan, matt, see number seven…. love you all. seriously
(sobs)
you didn’t make a joke about 5
It’s not funny, it’s true. I was exactly the same in my equivalent era.
In college, I used to get a thrill out of making my bed before going out.
And, not infrequently, a feeling of disappointment seeing it as proof that the night went poorly.
LOL
See. Thats when Im like hey at least my room is clean.
You clearly don’t have my hatred of clean rooms.
The only good clean room is one cleaned by someone else.
this week we paid someone 200 bucks to make all our rooms clan. quality of life in a really clean house: resplendent!
*clean
Yeah. That’s a great feeling.
We gave in once Mrs. N’s job got crazy, since we were spending essentially all of our shared home time cleaning.
I can attest to the value of housecleaning services even to lower income segments.
My ex-girlfriend always used to call me up trying to buy small amounts of herb, and I’d say, “I don’t sell herb, but I’ll give you some if you come clean (my kitchen) (my house) etc…”
there is a whole underground economy that doesn;t get a lot of air time.
My neighborhood is littered with auto mechanics, day car, house cleaners, handy persons, et. Nothing is ever reported.
Independent contracting is the wave of the future and present… whether black market or white.
i think i might be bored.
We can NOT have that.
this is true.
I’m on the verge of a shool shooting, or not!
what does this mean?????
i think i will make a jesa-colada.
I just got home from work and read that comment, and it instantly made me want to drink something sweet and strong. But alas, I have no mixers, so it’s straight scotch for me. Which should achieve the desired effect.
good. then i shan’t be drinking alone. ;)
I just have issues, and exactly one song on my new MB Pro until I field all the old files.
But I do love this song.
It’s such a happy song before you here the lyrics.
*hear
all the other kids with their pumped up kicks better run faster, faster than my bullet.
EEP
We all have our time.
I like their song Helena Beat better.
ooh, i’ll have to look it up.
aside from that, I hope you are doing good. I love ya!
It was a rough week, but thanks. I miss you. You should stop around here more.
The A’s bring us all back, You know, because they;re so good.
Sorry about the bad week. Wish I could make it better.
That’s my favorite song of theirs.
I give it an 8.25/10.
“all the other kids with the pumped up Kicks”
Are the other kids the ones with really good aim?
