Aside from my deceased father, no man has ever called me "beautiful."

My (living) father has never called me "beautiful". We're kind of emotional cripples in my family.

Also, Loo, just 'cause no one else has ever said it, doesn't mean they haven't thought it. Haha, lots of people are emotional cripples, I guess.

[puckloo39]

I guess you're right, Chrissy. I just think it would be nice to hear it, once, from someone who meant it. I am going to die waiting, I suspect.

I think I have a poltergeist in my house. I keep losing my keys.

You are beautiful Linda, even though I'm not a guy I do mean it. It always nice to be told you're beautiful instead of other compliments.


I should be working right now...

Studying for my final exam in my last class to get a 2 year degree in IT - Network Security. I have an "A" going into the final (got a 93% on the mid-term). Now I will accept all doors opening in the employment world offering me a pant-load of $$$.

Good Luck! I hope you are able to find something quickly.

You're beautiful!

You're beautiful Loo. And if you don't believe me, ask my mother. She loves you.


OK- if you hate it when people recount their dreams, you might want to skip this.

I was on a muscle relaxer when I drempt this, so bear with me.

I drempt that I was flirting with Lilja at work, but he was traded to another company, so I started flirting with Flip. Then I slept with him but I felt so guilty about cheating on my bf. So I decided to make some chicken salad, but once I got the ingredients together and in the mixing bowl, I realized that I had forgot the chicken (actually, when I woke up, I realized I had been making deviled eggs, but that's neither here nor there) so I put it in the fridge and went to take a shower.

For some reason that I have yet to figure out, the cast of As the World Turns (which I haven't watched in 10 years) was all there at work, but they were hanging out in a corner by a bed where someone was dying. I didn't know who it was, so I ignored them and went to the ladies' room.

There really isn't a shower in the can, but in my dream there was. So I took a shower, but I only had one towel (and it was HUGE), so I shook my hair dry and wrapped myself in the towel. Then I remembered that I had some chicken in my locker, so I went to get it, but it wasn't chicken at all. It was a bag of minced black olives and pimentos. Since I don't like either of those, I threw them out and remembered that I hadn't shaved my armpits, so I went back to the bathroom.

This goofy guy that I work with was pointing at me and laughing like "HAHA". He always does that in real life. Then my supervisor grinned at me and rolled his eyes like he thought I was crazy. Flip was trying to talk to me, but Mitch was watching and I didn't want him to know that I had cheated on him, so I didn't want to talk to Flip, so I ran and hid in the bathroom.

When I woke up, I was really depressed.

If I'm 25, what's too young of a girl to be talking to? I found a really interesting one, who is gorgeous, but is 20. Is that too young?

[WizardOfOz30]

Karen your dream is hilarious, I love when you share them. )



Konnan it's only 5 years and if you two get along well then it shouldn't really matter. It's not like she's still in high school, then you might want to think twice.

I just came out of the stoneage. I set up a wireless router for my laptop. Now I can sit on the recliner and let LGW eat up my time.

In my experience, if you're over 21, you shouldn't date anyone who is younger than that. Even if it's just a few years difference, there is an entire world of possibilities that is open to one person in the relationship and not the other. Plus it's awkward if you want to go to like a concert, or a bar, or a club and the other person isn't able to go. If you really like her, though, then who cares what some loser in an internet forum says, go for it!

[55fan]

If she's 20 now, she'll be 21 in less than a year. Start by e-mailing and writing letters and stuff. By the time she's old enough to hang out you'll know if she has good spelling and sentence structure and grammar and all that stuff.

If she's good, go for it.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with a 25 year old boy dating a 20 year old girl.

Thanks for the advice. +1's all around!!!

Hung out today. For the Blackhawks game we're watching it on my tele while playing the Wings drinking game!

She's lovely and looks very sweet.

I'd always heard that the "skeeviness limit" is half your age plus 7, so you're fine with a 20 year old. Do keep in mind that you could be at very different places in life. You seem from your posts to be self-aware enough to think of that and adjust for it, though. Good luck!

[SouthernWingsFan]

Today's forecast: Light.

[megaelixir]

I would generally advise against playing a drinking game with someone who isn't legally old enough to drink. However, I am a staunch advocate of people getting laid.

I'm very torn. Have fun!

Just got an email from my cousin in Indiana entitled: Uncle Henry.

My heart nearly stopped -- my uncle is over 100 years old. I thought it was my cousin telling me he'd passed away, but it was to let me know his new address and phone in Illinois. I guess his daughter decided to move him? Odd, since he's lived in Evansville, IN for the past 75 years, I always assumed he would live out the rest of his life there.

Anyway, Henry's OK. Obviously he cannot live forever (or maybe he can) but he is all that is left of my direct family, my mother's brother. And I love him.

Merry Christmas, Uncle Henry!

edit: I found out his finances are running low (he's 100, so... yeah) so they are moving him to Illinois near his granddaughter who has five grown kids -- lots of love in his remaining days. It's all good.

I'm glad all is good with Uncle Henry. He's lucky to have family to help take care of and love him. He'll have a very good Christmas I'm sure.

[Kira]

Bless your Uncle Henry's heart for living a good long life. We should all be so lucky.

Okay, I don't recommend movies all that often, but if you have not seen "Pirate Radio", do so quickly. You'll love it. Excellent soundtrack, hilarious movie. Rent it and watch the deleted scenes. We laughed til we cried at the one called "Radio Sunshine". The movie is excellent.
