...of your ear where Lush had shoved it just before storming out of the other thread. Then nurcnurc came in and started lecturing maybesoon about the dangers of cleaning his ears with bananas, car keys and q-tips. This of course only served to excite Stressfree who immmediately went in search of...
Was broken because she tripped over the Kansan who was prostrate on the floor laughing at Joel, so it actually came out as "Hmmm hmm hmhm?" to which Stressfree replied "Now that's my kinda' gal - already practicing her knobjob technique!!!" To which Joel and Lb both said (in unison) "What's a knobjob?" Then Indy walked in and said "Whoa! Is this a private party?" Just then HotSingleDud came in and exclaimed...
My humblest apologies for failing to click the "proper" button when I posted this. Please, oh kind and mercifully omnipotent Antjo, can you ever find it your benevolent heart to forgive one as un-worthy as my lowly self?
BOOZE! "Bring me booze!" he (I) cried out. "And while you're at the liquor store could you pick me up a pack of smokes and a newspaper? I want to see if Vinny won the golf tourney. Oh, and tell my wife I forgot to feed the cat."
Just then the phone rang and a mysterious voice said...
try to convince her that her hubby (Mickeyscouse) was a great guy and didn't mind sharing. She was about to call Mick and ask him when the Kansan stepped into the room, slipped on a strategically placed banana peel and...
Yep! Don't speak to her unless she speaks to you first and then only answer with information pertinent to her particular question/comment. It's not that hard to do - you don't have feelings for the gal at the convenience store, so you pay for your gas, exchange a pleasantry or two, and leave. You don't have feelings for the guy who delivers your mail, so if you see him at all, you briefly pass the time of day and go about your business... Do the same with her. Heck, I bowled for two years with a guy I didn't even like, but we managed to get by just fine - and we bowled together really good! When he made a strike or picked up a particularly hard spare, I'd compliment him and he'd do the same for me and then we'd go back to not talking to each other - Trust me, it's easier than you think it'll be.
If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you, it's yours. If it doesn't, it never was...
Give her the same space that she's been giving you. Stop the phone calls, the texting, etc... Stop ALL communication with her for a minimum of two weeks, but preferably a month - don't even reply to her messages (if there are any). If she seeks you out and asks if you're all right then you'll know that she is at least concerned about you. If she doesn't, you'll know that she's just been using you because you're a nice guy. And in the mean time, you'll be showing yourself that you can live without her - maybe better.
Tell your mom the same thing you'd tell your friends; "With all due respect, Mom, it's none of your business. They're being well taken care of and that's all that matters!"
Or... You could, just once, tell her a little white lie and say; "Well, Mom, since I won the lottery, my child support payments have gone up to sixty thousand dollars a week. Unfortunately, after taxes I can't afford to pay my phone bill and it's about to be disconn........"
This morning, from a cave somewhere in Pakistan, Taliban Minister of Migration, Mohammed Omar, warned the United States that if military action against Iraq continues, Taliban authorities will cut off America's supply of convenience store managers.
And if this action does not yield sufficient results, cab drivers will be next, followed by Dell and AOL customer service reps, and then Motel 6 managers.
I think I'm pretty much the same - Guess you'd have to ask Jackson to know for sure.
Seems like I think a little more before making replies online than when having a regular conversation, but I suppose that's due to the nature of the medium. Of course, I don't worry about spelling and punctuation as much when I'm talking as I do when I'm typing, but I guess that's also a given.
And I guess I'm probably a little funnier in real life - Kinda' tough to tell stories/jokes using different voices/impersonations when you're typing text into a computer screen; Just doesn't read as funny as it sounds...
Mostly though, I'm JustMe. I use what tools I have available in whatever medium I'm communicating in and my personality remains the same, even if certain aspects come through a little more (or less) strongly.
You know, there is a feature that allows you to block mail from specific areas. For instance, I no longer recieve 10-15 e-mails per week from the Philipines.
I was a trucker from the high plains of Northwest Kansas, my wife lived on a pretty ridge above Bull Run Creek in East Tennessee. We met here on CS exactly two years ago tomorrow and were married on August 15, '07.
I miss my friends "up-home" but wouldn't give up our little corner of paradise for anything in the world. She is my everything and whatever difficulties I faced to get here were worth it X 10.
