Ah yes...

Me too...

I've researched the causes of World War I enough to make my brain explode. I'm through with it for the day! Now to translate what I've found onto paper... that is the hard part!

What did you find? LOL

Oh please... don't make me bring work to my coffeeshop... rah...

Let me summarize:
1. Nationalism (the unification of Italy in 1861 and Germany in 1871, the Franco Prussian War of 1870-1871, French bitterness over loss of German territory)
2. Imperialism (increase of manufacturing as a result of the Industrial Revolution, Great Britain/Germany/France competing for African territory, the crumbling of the Ottoman Empire)
3. Bismarck and his Alliances (3 Emperor's League, Triple Alliance)
4. Collapse of aforementioned Alliances
5. The Arms Race (German Von Schieffen Plan)
6. African upheaval (and ensuing German support of Morroccan independence)
7. Bosnia and Morrocco -the balkan Wars (192-1913)
8. The Assassination in Sarejevo - June 28, 1914

Declaration of War July 28, 1914

Just to name a few... :)

Sneezy, I'm going to need more than a coffee after that... ;)

No kidding, never mind, I thought it was going to be a love triangle thing... LMAO J/K... have fun getting all that together!
Sneezy she SAID she needed more coffee... LMAO awww, poor sneezy already works so dang hard, someone needs to bring him one...

What you say Sneezy, you want me to bring you some coffee and a scone? You working too hard? Need a mental break? :D

That's better sweet HC, boys got to get some attention too...
I knew you weren't just a taker... ;)

That's better sweet HC, boys gotta get some attention too........
I knew you weren't just a taker....;)

I have SOOOO many comebacks for that one... but I'm going to refrain...

Be good, HC, be good...

:D

Know what MY answer to that would be?

THESE people had some stuff. THOSE people wanted that stuff. THOSE people said "Give it to us!" and THESE people said, "Oh yeah? We worked hard for this! You come take it!" So THOSE people did.

LOLOLOLOL... I thought you would... see you later HChicky!

THESE people had some stuff. THOSE people wanted that stuff. THOSE people said "Give it to us!" and THESE people said, "Oh yeah? We worked hard for this! You come take it!" So THOSE people did.

You know, I like that answer SO much better! Wonder if my editors would approve?

My life would be a whole lot better if they did...

An hour to my weekend... yesssss...

The GREAT thing?

My answer works for any war!

Ohhhou have any big plans or are you just going to relax?
Synn, I loved your answer, that sounds about right to me! Who needs details? LOL

Actually, I'd love to take a Road Trip!

But alas, I'll probably end up spending a lot of time, whiling away in my tub with a glass of wine, a good book, and an intent on just relaxing. My Mom is coming this weekend, so we'll get some girl time in.

Other than that? Star Wars, the trilogy (4-6, that is. 1-3 don't count!)

I hope you get your road trip in and I think it should be an all weekender, that would be something wouldn't it? :) Have a great weekend HChicky, enjoy your mom! Give her lots a love...

:) thanks! I will!

Something funny about Mum...

She's been at her parents for a week and a half - long story, my Grandfather's Alzheimers is getting worse, but I digress... I called her the other morning and before I could even say hello she said "I WANT COFFEE!!!!!" I guess I come by it naturally! :D

I love my Mum. :)

I think if you're going to travel, it should be Southwest-ish-y ;)

Mmm... I'm in the mood for some Southwest BBQ... mmm... :D

Uhh yeah I would like a vanilla bean frapacino please... regular size.

Would you like a scone with that?

I aim to please.

:)
I would like a vanilla latte with extra whipped cream... no straws please!

Can I suggest a shot of hazelnut in your vanilla latte? Some adore the taste. I, myself, am a fan of the One pump vanilla, one pump hazelnut latte :)

Wow I have never tried it with hazelnut good idea! I will take one please, to bad I can't really have it. Now I am craving it. Lol

:) Mwah-ha-ha!

If you don't like it too sweet, make sure you tell them one pump of each. Normally they put about three pumps of a flavor and sometimes if you ask for two flavors, you'll end up with at butt-load of syrup.

The White Chocolate Mocha is good this way too... :)

I have to work tomorrow, on my way I will stop and get a hazelnut vanilla latte... thank you HChicky!

Anytime, dear, anytime! Its what I'm here for! :)

Chicky, out.

Happy Easter, everyone! :D

Thanks and I don't like it to syrupy so I appriciate the advice. Must try more then once. That is crazy that is conversation has gotten up to 103 pgs... lol Great Job!

103 pages and counting. Man can we gals, and guys, gab.

Sorry all, I took a little nap this afternoon, I needed it. Unlike Sneezy I need at least 8 hours a night otherwise I'm not a pleasant Alty.

HChicky, I'm sorry I missed you, if you come back later than Happy Easter and have a great weekend with your mom.

... it's Easter weekend?

... dibs on alty's bunnies! Wait... what do I do with these bunnies..

I never understood the whole Easter thing... nor have I ever done anything different on Easter. I know there's a lot of egg hunts... the kids in my apartment complex usually hide chocolate near the bushes + trees and then my dog finds them. It's quite a rush.

... damn. As I was typing at a nearby computer (in the library), some woman just walked into my study room and just situated herself there.. . seeing as all of my things are currently with me and NOT in the study room, now it's hers. Damn it all to hell. Gar.

... where to study... where to study...

Shall I be pulling another all nighter tonight? Possibly. It's up to HChicky. Exam at 830 in the morn. Chugga chugga.

Aww Sneezy, I'd bring you coffee to help you study, then leave a kiss or two to keep you awake! :) Consider yourself SMOOCHED! Study heard, sweetie!

Sorry I missed you Alty - I'll check back sometime during the weekend and see how y'all are faring. Much love! :)

Happy Easter all!!

HC that pimply teenager is looking over your shoulder.

Tell me you didn't look :-)

LOL! Yes, M, I did look... crud, I'm jumpy.

How are you tonight? I mean, today. Whatever you are currently "in"!

LOL... thought you might.

I'm well thanks , 11.30am Friday morning. Just sitting at home doing my chores etc.

Have a great weekend with your Mum. BTW you left your Yahoo on again :-)

Ooohhh... crud... That means I'm going to have a bunch of spam windows open when I get back to work. Darn it...

Did a window from me pop up when you signed in yesterday? ;)

Darn it - wonder if I sign in here if it would sign me out there...

No nothing popped up yesterday

Yeah try to sign in there , it might sign you out at work

Ahh... OK, so winks don't work unless the user is online. S'ok, you just missed a wink. I'll get you some other time.

Stink, this computer doesn't have Yahoo and I'd have to download it... they tend to frown on that...

Nope, no luck. The apt complex must have some kind of block on downloading things... which, when you really think about the traffic at this computer, is a good thing!

I came up once to check something and the pimply teenager wasn't playing Solitaire!

Bugger missed a wink , that's OK , still have the other thing you sent last week , I'll just have to keep replaying that ;-)

LOL! It was the same thing! You like that, huh? *blushes*

You see my recipie for that vanilla hazelnut latte? Mmm... yummy stuff...

(That was my attempt to change the subject... ;) )

Well, Darling, my Mum is probably wondering if the computer ate me... I had better get back.

Take care, M! And be good on my messenger... ;)

Happy Easter, All!

LMAO... yes very funny , and cute ;-)

Nice change of subject J

Darn, I missed HChicky, F4U, I see you're still here, is Sneezy, Starty and Synn?

Were are all my buds? I only have around 15 minutes and then the kids and I are going to watch a nice wholesome family movie together. They have tomorrow off, so does hubby, but it's just me and the rug rats tonight, Hubby works until 2am today. Sigh.

Yep still here Alty... just reading through all of today's ramblings in the Coffee shop.

The squatting stories are priceless :-)

Thought you'd get a kick out of those. Yup, indoor plumbing, it's a good thing. :)

The awkward conversation between me and the girl who woke me up.

::nudge::

Me: huh? What?
Girl: hi... um... sorry to wake you up... but...
Me: I'm sorry. I fell asleep? Holy cow. What time is it?

::looks at watch::

Me: whew. OK. I thought I lost a lot of time.
Girl: you look... tired.
Me: thanks... for that. And thanks... for waking me up.
Girl: yeah...
Me: did you need something?
Girl: well... I was wondering if... well...
Me:... yes?
Girl: I was wondering if you could help me...
Me: sure... what's up?
Girl: well... you were making some noises while you were sleeping... I think you were talking in your sleep... it wasn't loud... more like small whispers and grumblings... but yeah...
Me: Oh, I'm so sorry. Um... just out of curiosity, what was I talking about... could you hear?
Girl: something about motor sensory neurons + DHP receptors...

... damn.

Sneezy, you need some sleep, seriously. ;)

I don't know what just hit me, but I just spent the last 15 minutes throwing up, it wasn't fun. Now I've got the shivers. What the heck, I just had the flu a few weeks back, I'm not ready to start it all over again.:(

Going to go watch a movie with the kids, then I've hitting the sack, I've got to get rid of whatever this is. Ugh.

Night all, behave while I'm gone, or else.:cool:

I'm sort of here.

Feeling like crap, mostly.

Thursday nights, though, are date night :) My hubby and I watch Lost together :)

Me: Oh, I'm so sorry. um...just out of curiosity, what was I talking about...could you hear?
girl: something about motor sensory neurons + DHP receptors...

...damn.


What a nerd...

I know, right?

Alty, that's a bit weird that you said that as one of my friends just went to the emergency room due to vomiting... cept in her case, it was 5 - 6 times today. I ruled it stomach virus. Doc rules it food poisoning. We'll know in a few hours.

... may the best man win.

And I hope you feel better.

By the way, what movie are you watching?

um.

... where is everyone?

anyone? Anyone?

Just got back from my midterm. Thought it went pretty well. My other classes were canceled today (one by the professor... and the other one... by me =D)

I get to relax until I go to work at noon.

... where is EVERYONE?!

Declaration of my love for HChicky:

So. Every time I go to sbucks, I'm usually a venti hazelnut coffee or a venti 5-shooter or a venti triple shooter white mocha kind of guy.

After much thought, this morning, I went into the local sbucks and I asked for HChicky's concoction:

One pump vanilla, one pump hazelnut latte

I get it. I'm a fan. I'm sitting there around 730 studying for my midterm at 830...

Around 810, the barista comes up to me. This is the convo:

Barista: We have to name this drink something...
Me: Sorry?
Barista: the one pump hazelnut + one pump vanilla latte. We have to name it.
Me: OK?
Barista: I just tried it. It's REALLY good. I don't think anyone's ever asked for it like this.
Me: Yeah, it's my first time trying it. I like it.
Barista: can we name it... the sneezy?
Me: no. you can't call it my name. It's lame.
Barista: what do you want to call it?
Me:... we'll call it... the historian.

That's right HChicky. My local sbucks has a drink named after you. Revel in your glory.

Not sure if this trend'll ever spread... as the only two people that are calling it the historian are the barista and myself, but if you ever come by the atl, we can go into the local sbucks and try out the historian. ;)

Awww, Sneezy that's so sweet.

I'm still feeling a bit queasy today, tummy isn't happy and I don't know why. I was feeling fine all day yesterday and it just hit me, like a ton of bricks. Well, Pepto Bismol is my best friend right now, I wonder how it would taste in coffee.

Oh Sneezy, my sweet! You're a doll! I'm flattered... *blushes*... I have my own drink!

Shucks... you're such a sweetheart!

Oh yeah... well... I named my car after you... (haha) yeah, it's a 93 honda accord... its called the hot historian.

(take that sneeze)

Wait, I am a sweet heart tooooooooooooo

I ordered your drink you know... golllllyyyyyy... I suppose since I am not a regular they wouldn't ask me to name it though...

oh yeah... well... i named my car after you... (haha) yeah, its a 93 honda accord... its called the hot historian.

(take that sneeze)



:D :D :D :D :D LMAO!

HChicky, I'm so glad that you're on line. I wanted to wish you a very happy Easter, have fun with your Mom.

Hey guys, spring is really here, I just saw a flock of crows outside my window. Hey, get away from the garbage can, don't make me get the hose out. Shoo, shoo.

I have to do Easter Bunny shopping today. Even though my son no longer believes in the Easter Bunny he's been really good about keeping the myth alive for my daughter. He's such a sweetie, I don't know how I got so lucky.

Oh, sad story. I like sugar in my coffee, my husband bought a huge box of sugar, it comes in the little packages, just like in a restaurant. Well, I'm a bit out of it this morning so I wasn't paying attention when I was adding my sugar. Apparently I accidentally dropped one of the packs into my coffee. Yuck, okay, okay, I'm awake now!

LOL! Awww Westy... Hot Historian, wow... I like, I like! ;) You're a sweetheart, too! *smooch*

Starty - yes, you were the first one to try my drink! :) My Historian :) Wonderful, isn't it! And yes, you're a sweetie!

Urgh... paper isn't too hot in coffee...

Happy Easter to you too, Alty! :) Give those bunnies an extra sqeeze for me!

Ok, now I can get back to my important job of being a mother and a maid...
Hope you enjoy your time with MOM the wonderful woman who gave us you! (it helps that she loves coffee)

Yeah, she's actually the only person that can consume a latte faster than me... seriously, she inhales it...

Extra squeezes for the bunnies, love Aunty HChicky.:p

My daughter thinks that they all dream about becoming the Easter Bunny when they grow up.:D

So, I see that the boys are still fighting over you. Did I start something or what?:D

Alty, that is so sweet!

Me Sweet? Aww, shucks, thanks Starty.:o

LOL, I love the movie 300 for a reason! Ne'er will I mind hot men fighting over me! ;) ;)

Well, Mom has claimed me... talk to you all later! Kisses to my handsome men! :D

Bye HChicky, give Mom a big squeeze from all of us, tell her all about your guys!

Don't worry, we'll keep an eye on the love birds while you're gone.

I am so out of it that I forgot to push the dang button on the washer to actually start it.
AND, I can't make my bed cause my big ole lazy cat is sleeping on it, I refuse to stop her heaven.
I do have to rave a little though, last night I was talking to Davy, she is 11 and I told her if there was one thing I wanted, I would like to sleep tomorrow no extra kids coming so I thought it maybe could happen, she woke up showered, got her little brother dressed, made eggs for him before they had to catch the bus, and before I knewit, she is yelling Jett, go give mom a kiss goodbye we have to go...
IS SHE THE BEST DAUGHTER IN THE WHOLE WORLD OR WHAT??
Yes, yes she is!:)

That's so sweet.

Yesterday, when I wasn't feeling good, my son told me to sit on the couch, he got me a blanket and a glass of water, and then he and my daughter performed a little play that they had made up. Priceless, best theatre I've seen in a long time.

Aren't kids amazing?

Yes, they sure are, and it seems they surprise us more than not. They know when it counts for sure!
I got a nice little puppet show last night, it was cute but I had to ask a lot of questions to get them going! LOL

It's better to just nod and pretend that you know what's going on. Sometimes the explanations take longer than the play.:D

Third cup of coffee and counting. This time I left out the paper.:o

Heehee, I understand completely...

I am getting hugs from my little boy right now, he's such a sweetie. He's saying "Who's your kid, who's your kid?" Okay, now he's tickling me, don't make me spill my coffee buddy, it all goes downhill from there.:D

Get her sweety pie, I am on yer side! LMAO
Here is a good one...
I was in the shower and little Maxy (4) was watching Nick Jr...
I came out and he says "Mom, do you wanna get some cash to simplify your bills?"
I was laughing so hard, especially he told me I had to sit down and watch for the commercial he got it from... LOL
AND he knows if I am sitting at the table all he has to do is sneak under there and touch my ankles... I go crazy!! He likes that!

Kids are just amazing, I can't imagine my life without them, they're better than television when it comes to entertaining.:)

And hey, you're supposed to be on my side, not the rug rats. Don't encourage him, he'll tickly me until I pee, he really will.:eek:

I am still on his side... he has to have some control... LMAO


Go baby go git her!

Starty, I'm bringing out my whip, you better RUN!:D

I've got to go do my Easter shopping now, hip, hop, hip, hop, I'm the Easter Bunny.:p

Take care and be good while I'm gone.:cool:

I am always good, and I try to mind my manners when people aren't looking! K, you go Easter Bunny! Have a good day!


Starty, less talk, more coffee... LOL

I'm back. Jeez, Easter supplies are getting way to pricey. $50 doesn't go as far as is used to.:(

Tomorrow we are coloring the easter eggs, can't wait.:rolleyes:

I'm switching from coffee to water now, it's 2pm and I need to sleep tonight, no more caffeine for Alty!:D

Tell me about it... 4 kids, $$$$$$$$$$
I drink coffee till I go to sleep at night. LOL

Hubby's taking my daughter for a walk so that I can get the Easter baskets prepared. My Son is downstairs watching TV. I have a few minutes to kill. How's everyone doing?

I'm so tired today, my old dog had another barking fit last night, that little stinker, I couldn't sleep until 3am.

Maybe I need just one more cup of coffee.:)

Hey Alty
Go for it... one more cup never hurt anyone. On my first cup , Saturday morning here.

I see everyone has been behaving themselves today

Yikes, my son has turned on me. Now he's really cranky. He wants me to print something off the computer for him, but I'm out of ink. He insists that he needs this, I'm out of ink, but really, it's important. Really, I'm out of INK! Kids!:rolleyes:

Hey F4U - It's Friday afternoon here, how's tomorrow, what do I have to look forward to. Come on, just a hint.:cool:

Well its only morning so not sure what lies ahead , hopefully something exciting :-)

I don't know if I can handle exciting, I'd settle for mediocre right now.

Not again, one of the bunnies is gassy again. Which one of you did it, Hmmm, come on fess up. Stinky Bunny butts, yikes.:(

Ya, going to have another coffee, unless I have beer, then I'm going to have on of those.:D

LMAO... naughty bunnies , get the whip out Alty

Oh, I don't whip the bunnies, only naughty men who richly deserve it. Nope, bunnies get hugs and cuddles, not the whip.:cool:

I just answered a post from a girl wanting to know if she could get pregnant if her boyfriend pulled out. Hmmm, let's see, there are anywhere between 40 million and 600 million sperm each time a man ejaculates, all it takes is one. Hmm, let me think. If I had a gun with 40 million bullets and only one empty slot, would I put it to my head and pull the trigger? That's a hard one. I'm getting a bit defensive now, why do I answer those posts?:confused:

Beer, I have Beer, yes, beer has come to save the day!:D

Yeah I know , I stay away from those posts. Its so much nicer to go read some jokes :-)

Beer , now that sounds good.

Beer is good, actually it's great. I live in Canada, we're know for our beer, oh and hockey.

Love the jokes, but for seem reason I can't stop posting on the "I had unprotected sex, could I be pregnant" threads. If I said what I really wanted to I'd be kicked of this site.

Ah, Beer, love it.

Alty'll appreciate this:

https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/humor-comedy/find-canadian-chick-190460.html

Sneezy, I've seen that before, it's hilarious. Yep, Canadians don't get allot of sun, and we're not exhibitionists. Go figure. Germans on the other hand, don't get me started. Did I mention that I'm German, I just live in Canada. Not saying another word. Nope, my lips are sealed.

Hey F4U, where did you go?

Sipping my Beer.

Hey Alty
A few of my friends have just turned up with Bacon , Eggs , Fresh bread rolls etc. They decided seeing as I have the biggest kitchen this is where we are having breakfast this morning.
So standing over the stove at the moment , MMmmm smelling good :-)

Bad F4U, now I'm craving breakfast foods and it's 5pm here. Mmmm Bacon, Canadian Bacon? I guess not huh. How are you making the eggs, I like them sunny side up. Mmmm fresh bread rolls. You naughty boy, now I am getting my whip out. Scared?:p

Boys, I've got to go cook some dinner for the family, I'll talk to you all later. Be good, stay out of trouble, or I'll tell HChicky!:eek:

Alty Out.:)

Danish bacon with Eggs sunny side up. Bread rolls are straight from the bakery so still warm , Mmmm the butter just melts on them , oh and some coffee.

Whew... beer... count me in.

Ladies and gents... it's been one heck of a week. You want me to recap it for you?!

OK... fine. You've forced my arm.

- 3 midterms. 1 postponed. Overall slept something along the lines of 16 some odd hours this entire week.

- lost a bit on bear stearns. Am I upset... slightly. I'm more upset that I lost my mojo and have stopped trading for the past week. That loss crippled me. My friends are in worse positions... they're junior analysts for bs and they know they're canned within the next 2 - 3 months. Here's the worst part... they make about 70 - 100k as junior analysts... so they live in nice @ss condos in New York... now that they're about to lose their jobs... and their lease doesn't end for a while...

- worked. A lot.

- I got nothing. I'm done. I'm with alty.

I'm grabbing a beer, cleaning my apartment, cooking dinner, and watching a movie. I'm not going out tonight. Not tonight.

Aww Sneezy, I'm sorry, hope you feel better. Cheers.

F4U, I'm jealous. Want to know what I had for breakfast? Cereal, froot loops to be exact. Ah, the breakfast of champions, NOT!

Another beer for Alty, you're right Sneezy, it's been that kind of day.

Hey, where are my buddies? Anyone out there? I hate it when this happens, I'm all alone again. Sneezy? F4U, Starty, Ihate? Anyone seen Synn? I know HChicky's busy with her mom, but come on, where are the rest of you?

Well, I give up, I'm going to have a snack and play a board game with the kids. Back later.

Alty out.

Sorry alty, you know that I've been bouncing around these forums answering teen questions of "how do I get my ex back..." and "how to pass a drug test"...

Have fun with your kids... it's a quiet Friday night here in the atl... but I think I'm being dragged out to a club/lounge downtown. I'm being dragged by my collar. My plans for laundry + cleaning + movie are being crushed. Darn friends. Leave me be!

I had the Historian again... lol
I loved it, I may be getting hooked on ma lattes again... not good, not good at all!

Hello all.

It's 4am. Just got back. Um... have to wake up in about 3.5 hours to go to work.

Yep. So... everyone doing OK? Anyone?

'ello, 'ello, my friends (and Sneezy, my sweet)...

Still enjoying time with Mum... miss the e-conversations here in my coffeeshop though!

Off for coffee... :) Think I'll get the Historian!

I missed everyone, you're all off line.

Sneezy, sorry that your plans were thwarted by your friends, maybe next weekend. Do you have enough clean underwear to last the week?

HChicky, I'm glad you're having fun with your mom, is she getting a Historian too? Sorry I missed you, I got to sleep in. Ahhhh!

Were's Starty? Synn is MIA and F4U is probably asleep. What about IHate, anyone seen him? Hmmm, my timing sucks.

Synn went home from work sick yesterday morning about 11 am, and she's been too sick to get to the computer since then.

I've slept like 18 of the last 24 hours. (sorry, Sneezy--not rubbing it in, I just literally crashed that hard with the Crud that's going around).

It's STILL snowing here---been snowing for well over 24 hours now. We have at least 10 inches on the ground.

First full day of spring in Minnesota, and it drops this icky white stuff on us.

Oh Synn, I'm sorry to hear that you're still feeling so poorly. Get plenty of rest, drink lots of orange juice, water, chicken noodle soup, sorry it's the mom in me, should I tuck you in and read you a story?;)

Okay, let's pour some salt in the wound, the snow here is almost all gone. I can see my dead grass, the Canadian geese are coming home and a murder of crows was picking at my garbage can yesterday. I'm optimistic that spring is here to stay, but, as all Canadians know all to well, if you don't like the weather, wait a minute, we could well have a blizzard tonight that dumps 2 feet of snow on our heads. Holding my breath.

Well all, I've got to run, doing laundry, cleaning house and going for a walk with the kids and the dogs.

Type at you all later, have a great day, and Synn, get well soon sweetie!

Alty out.

Allo.

Hm. Sleep. It's a luxury I no longer can afford.

Just got back home from work... only to feed my dog, grab an apple, and head out to my other job.

... hopefully (fingers crossed)... I'll sleep tonight. Catch you on the flip side.

Alty: no clean underwear... but you just do what I learned the first week of college... flip it inside out.

Back from work.

... I'm losing my mind. I have to find an apartment to move into by the end of the month or I'll be forced to move to Nashville ;)

Also, I was thinking of implementing my avatar... and I thought I'd be the manly guy that I am and put up a picture of my dog. Is it girly? Absolutely. Will I get made fun of? Probably. I couldn't care less. I love my dog.

Pick my avatar.

7112 7113

7114 7115 7116

Ack. Friends are dragging me out again. Apparently, I'm not supposed to "sit around"... ugh. Stupid friends.

Oh, pick your puppy, she's sooooo cute. I could just eat her up! Besides, chicks like a compassionate, caring, sensitive, guy. Right HChicky?:confused:

Sneezy, if my husband sees this he'll kill me, but I'm going to let you in on a little secret when it comes to dirty underwear that my husband swears by. Yellow in front, brown in back. Ewwww, let's just say I use tongs when doing the laundry.:eek:

ISFyyyyyyy, I hope you enjoy not sitting around , I also love your puppy!
Alty!! YUCKY!

Wow. Um...

... well... as far as dirty underwear goes, sorry. I'm partially ocd (not clinically... but the crowd tells me that I am) so I actually clean pretty often... vacuum/dust/wipe once a week... so yeah. Can't relate.

As far as the picture, which one? Sleeping or awake?

Starty, I have kids, sometimes Yucky is the best I can do.:rolleyes:

Isn't Sneezy's pup just adorable. What's her name Sneezy?:confused:

Ya, I know another YUCK when I see one... Nice to meet you lol
Sneezy both... love the pics!

Her name is Lily _____ (insert my last name there).

5 - 6 lb (depending on if she's eaten... she's a cow) long haired chihuahua. Runs around like she's hyped up on something most of the time... never yelps. Never whines. Never barks. That's her motto.

Awww, I love the name Lily!
K, cleaned the whole house for tomorrow, I think I broke my back but not sure...
We went on a really nice hike today, so nice out!

This may sound weird, but I always loved the name Lily... and I actually wanted to date this girl named Lily... but it would have been a bit weird. Lily, meet lily. LILY! PUT IT DOWN! LILY! STOP!! NO!!

Yeah...

Anyway, I'm out for the night... be back at god-knows-when... work @ 730am. Whoop.

Have fun and try and get some sleep silly!

Goodnight Sneezy, good night Lily, be a good girl while Daddy's out, don't eat his underwear, he doesn't have many left.:p

Hee hee...
Alty, see you a little later, I need to go finsh up! Have a good night sweet lady!

Good night my sweet, don't work to hard, it'll all be messy again tomorrow.

When I don't have clean underwear, I just go commando.

Which is way better than wearing dirty underwear, imo.

I thought you might say something like that Synn.
For me though, there will never be a day that my undies aren't clean, I am the laundry queen so I always have whitey tighty's! LOL
Alty, I know it will be messy tomorrow, but it had to be done, I just had to get the silly stuff like dusting, and bathrooms! I am having a luke warm cup of coffee and waiting for all the basket ball games to get over so I can watch my movie!! Relaxing now... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

Synn, LMAO, commando, hee,hee. Nope, not me, I'd rather wear my bikini bottoms than go commando. I like something to keep me warm, after all, I live in Canada.:D

Starty - Enjoy your lukewarm coffee and your movie. I'm hitting the sack early tonight, after I play Easter Bunny and hide all the stuff.:)

Hip,hop,hip,hop, here comes Alty Cotton tail, hopping down the bunny trail.:cool:

Well. Morning all.

... just got back. It is... 426 am. Heavily contemplating whether I should sleep... as I have be up in about 3 hours for work.

... oy.

Just got in as well... same time... cept I have no work tomorrow, as I am a very lazy individual. Sleep is for the weak sneeze, and is way overrated... but seeing as I have nothing to do tomorrow... I'm going to go to bed.

You two party animals. I went to bed shortly after midnight.

Happy Easter all. The kids found their Easter stuff within 3 minutes, it took me longer to hide them. I guess the hiding spots were lame.:(

Poor alty. I would have hid it under the bunnies.

So... @ work. Kind of... tired. Midterm Tuesday. Choo choo-ing.

Sneezy, is Sleep and Dopey? Are you Grumpy future Doc?:p

Hiding it under the bunnies probably would have worked, except that there would be little left this morning to find, they chew on everything.:( Not to mention the poo factor, that's a big, stinky factor, trust me.:eek:

Good luck on your midterm on Tuesday, just remember, if it's multiple choice, the answer is usually B.:)

Really? I thought it was C?. that explains my SAT scores oof.

Sadly, not multiple choice.

4 math problems. 2 hours to take it.

2 hours for 4 problems? Yikes.

I am terrible at math, English was always my best subject, that and Art. Thank goodness I'm done with school, I don't think I could hack it.

You'll do great Sneezy, I believe in you. Chin up, study hard and don't stress out.

I was allergic to Math, Science and History.

English, like my girl Alty was one of my favorites :)

Loved religion too.

Sending lots of good wishes.

Oh Allheart, you finally joined us, I'm so glad.

I had to carry 2 raw eggs around for 2 weeks in grade 12 for religion. We were paired up, given a budget, told to figure out one years worth of bills etc and take care of our eggs for two weeks.

I got unlucky, had twins, yup two bouncing little Eggberts. My "husband" was a druggy that never came to school, he did absolutely nothing for the assignment and never once took care of the twins. On the last day of the project he came to class , went to the table were all the eggs that had survived where displayed and said to the group of them "Oh, were is Daddy's baby, I've missed you", in front of the teacher. Little did he know that as part of the assignment we had the option of divorce. I walked up to him calmly, said "I bet you can't even tell me which ones belong to you, oh, by the way, I want a divorce, consider yourself served!" I got 100% on the assignment, he failed. Revenge may be bad, but it sure felt good. I wonder if he ever changed his ways?

I really am a bad girl!

Well Guys and Gals, got to get ready to go for our annual Easter Egg hunt. Type at you all later. Behave while I'm gone, remember, I'm watching!:D

Alty Out.

Hello everyone. Hope everyone had a great Easter.

I... worked. All day. Then I went to my volunteering job.

Now I'm at the library trying to do my ONE math problem for my homework. It's 3 hours so far and I feel like it's halfway done. Fantastic.

I like math---but not THAT kind of math.

Happy Eostra to all of you :)

I hate it too.. . I guess it doesn't help that I'm a math major. Boo.

Sneezy, you're a math major that hates math? How did that happen?:confused:

Just came back from our Easter egg hunt, the kids had a blast. They stuffed their faces with chocolate and I drank wine. All in all, fun was had by all.:p

I just decided to check in and make sure all of you behaved while I was gone, glad to see all is well in the coffee shop.:)

Take care all, and good night.

Alty

yep. I'm a math major that hates math...

just because you can do something well doesn't mean you have to like it.

I'm reminded of the phrase in Harold and Kumar: Just because you're hung like a horse doesn't mean you have to do porn. =D

another long night for sneezy... this will continue until Tuesday, at least. Hope everyone's doing well.

by the way, where's HChicky?

Sneezy + HChicky =:D Sneezy

:D Sneezy - HChicky = :mad: Sneezy

yeah, the equation doesn't work because if you add the two equations, they should equal one another, but... the basis of human emotion isn't an exact science. It happens.

HC's mom is visiting, so I'm sure she's just busy with that :)

Good morning, my dears!!

(crud... left my coffee in the car... rah... just realized that... )

You all have been busy while I've been MIA! Underwear questions? Wow... I'm with Synn on that one though, no undies are better than dirty ones! :)

Boy, I've got a lot of catching up to do on all my posts... catch you guys later! :)

(Sneezy, my sweet, you should have called me, I'd have helped with math! :) Course, I'm not good at it, but I'd have found a way to help! ;) )

/yawn

How did it get to be Monday again already?

Monday's are pure evil. Rah..

Grrr...

Even a Historian didn't work this morning! :(

I just realized I got up an hour earlier than I needed to.

And it's too late now to go back to bed and snooze for that hour.


GRRRRRR!

Im on vacation and I had to wake up at 8 to let the verizon FIOs guy in... I'm glad I'm finally getting lightning fast internets. But I don't want to have to wake up and stuff... goodness, I am so lazy.

Aww... Mornin' Westy! I'm jealous of your "lightning fast internet" - as you all know, I'm still a Purist and don't have it in my place, but believe me... its coming SOON! :D

Have people you want to talk to when you're not at work now, hmmm?

LOL! *blushes* why, yes, Synn... that I do! ;)

Good! I want to talk to YOU when you're not at work, too!

Work, Smurk. If it wasn't for bills, I'd be an independent author, whiling away my days writing coffee table books and fluff stuff.

But alas, I must work.

Yes, my internet is coming... soooooon!

Goodness... its... so... fast!

Like unbelievable difference... I built my computer myself so its quite a rig. But with FIOs... wow... just, wow.

(be jealous)

Yes, Westy, I'm jealous.

Green with jealousy.

Darn green-eyed monster is drooling in my coffee.

I'm such a loser, lol... its literally making me really happy. Haha. Went on YouTube, and it was like __.. __... _______ done. Crazy...

And I would be jealous too... but I don't have to be... I can't wait to play some counter strike later. FIOs ftw!

I too would want to sit around making about 5 grand a year writing... but 5 grand doesn't pay for jack... so alas... I must park cars.

(I learnded in school that the average writer makes about 5 grand a year, so there)

I used to think I wanted to be an author.

Then I realized I liked reading FAR better than I like writing.

I need to be an editor, is what I need to be.

I tutor and edit papers at my school... it doesn't pay though... but I enjoy it, and I enjoy being cruel to other students with horrible grammar.

I'm not sure what I want to do with my english major... I may teach, I may get into journalism, or I may become an editor... I think either one of those would be fun.

Rah... I hate editors... crappy, because I am both, a writer AND an editor.

5K a year... hmmm...

5K a year... hmmm.....

The lay-a-bout writer... not the cute historian who works hard to one day achieve her dream of obtaining lightning fast internets.

the lay-a-bout writer... not the cute historian who works hard to one day achieve her dream of obtaining lightning fast internets.

*giggle* Westy, you flirt :D

I'd love to sit at home and write just to write. For me. I write for someone else now, I'd love to just write for ME. I'm working on a book in my off time, but its slow... One day, I'll be published with my name on the cover, but it's a long way off.

I'm back... for lunch. What is this I see with westy hitting on HC? This is what happens when I'm gone eh?

I'm catching up on posts while eating a delicious bowl of steamed veggies + tofu.

One may ask... "but sneezy, wouldn't you much rather enjoy a cheeseburger?"

Yes. Yes I would. But apparently, cheeseburgers don't get you to 4% body fat... which is my goal for the next 3 months.. . so... salads, turkey, tofu, beans, chicken breasts, and steamed veggies are up for the next few months. I may be cranky.

overall, I've been having a pretty good day though, market's been pretty volatile today which makes me a happy sneezy. =D

Mornin, Sneezy... I wondered when you'd show up!

Mmm... steamed veggies and tofu... acutally, that sounds pretty good. I learned to have a healthy respect for veggies and tofu when I was in China... you can do some pretty great things with tofu! (Course, you can do some pretty disgusting things with it too!)

Ooo... they made this dish with tomatoes, eggs, and tofu... Mmm... sounds awful, yes, but wow. It was divine!

Yup, Westy is doing a pretty good job at the whole flirting thing... ;)

Oh, why yes, I do enjoy downloading a pirated song in like 5 seconds... I enjoy it very much so... yar!

I'm back...for lunch. what is this I see with westy hitting on HC? this is what happens when I'm gone eh?


Yeah sneeze, I make it rain when it comes to flirting... how else do you think that poor girl would have told me she "loved" me after 4 dates.

Well, it was either my flirting... or the pool hall and tacos. I think I would love anyone who buys me tacos.

All right, boys, you've got to explain the whole pool hall and tacos thing...

I play a pretty mean game of pool...

Is that good?

I once complained on some thread (I think it was my "first date" thread) where I usually end up spending $100 - $150 on a date... and westy brought up that he took a girl out to tacos + pool...

I guess the tacos + pool works, as westy's girl went out on 4 dates with him and told him she loved him.

... meanwhile, my date planned lunch... on April 2.. . and she did this on march 12.

Wow... Sneezy, you go in style, huh?

I'm not sure which I'd enjoy more - actually, I'd enjoy each completely equally. Dinner, wine, and dancing, or pool, JD and coke, and tacos...

A nice balance of both...

I tell you boys, I'm complex... just as comfortable in strappy sandals and a little black dress as I am in jeans and a hoodie! ;)

I'm off to lunch - you boys be good!

I'm like HC. Except taken.

I'm like HC. Except taken.
LOL! :D

It's not that I go in style... it's just my school. Rich bastards. Blecch.

The jeans and a hoodie is mad cute... I would choose that over nudity. (well... maybe)

LOL! Westy! Well, you're easy to please then, huh?

Yup, give me my LLBeans, Jeans, and my Quicksilver hoodie and I'm good... OR give me my black stilettos, little black number, and a few sparkles and I'm good to go! :)

You know what? Coke tastes REALLY good today for some reason... odd...

I'm like HC. Except taken.

Yup, Synn and I - two peas in a pod! Actually, we're very similar... Its almost scary! :)

I need some creamer or my kids are going to pay... LOL

I need some creamer or my kids are gonna pay.....LOL

HA!! LOL!

Ouch... Coke hurts when you accidentally laugh too hard and are forced to swallow... coffee doesn't hurt so much...

I. HATE. MONDAYS.

Seriously.

The phone hasn't stopped, I have no idea how to fix the mess that someone created by creating not one but TWO duplicate files, I have a meeting this afternoon, and I have no one to give me breaks all day because we're still shorthanded.

I haven't even had a chance to DRINK my coffee, which is probably cold now.

Bastards.

Awww Synn... I'm sorry! You have a vending machine? M&M's always make me smile... especially when you whip them at people that are annoying you :D

Poor cold coffee... :(

I'm a receptionist.

I can't even leave my desk.

WAAAAAAAAAAH

Synn. Me too.

I came into work today thinking it was going to be an easy day... I had an assay to run but my primary antibody came in over the weekend and was left outside (it was supposed to be in the freezer)... so I figured, OK... nothing to do... go home, go apartment hunting... etc.

Nope. Came in. got a list of things to do... apparently, the tech that got fired last week just created mayhem (reason he got fired) and we're backlogged. I don't think I'm even getting out of here by 6pm. Damn him.

Afternoon all. I see that all is going well in the single's bar, I mean coffee shop. :D

I just got up. The kids don't have school today so Hubby and I stayed up late last night, I got to sleep in, which is good. I indulged in a bit too much wine last night. Dry mouth, YUCK!

It looks like us girls have tons in common. On a day to day basis I'm a comfy clothes kind of girl, but when we go somewhere fancy, watch out, I can be a hotty when I want to, even at 37 years old.;)

I just need to loose a bit of weight right now. As you all know I had a very terrible miscarriage 2 years ago, lost the baby at 3 months, but didn't loose the weight I gained, still haven't. I also have a thyroid problem, so it's hard to loose that weight. Going to do it this year if it kills me, I want to be able to wear my short, shorts in the summer. Oh, and it's time to bring the bikini out of hiding too. Hip hop abs, here I come.:)

Synn... paperclips work too... go ahead... I won't stop you!

Mornin' Alty! :) Nice to see you!

(oh, Synn... that was permission to pelt annoying people with paperclips, not eat them... just clarifying :) )

Synn:

Paper clips + rubber bands work wonders.

Oooh, rubber bands are great, they really sting if you have good aim.

LOL! Yes! Rubber bands ANNNND paperclips...

Mwahaha... :D

I just need creamer...
I need it real real real real bad, I am not going to be able to go on.
Alty, after all the kids I have a little tummy, it kills my back to do sit ups, so I found Yoga to really help. And nice long walks, we have great lush forrests here so I get to endulge in that any time I want to. The kids go more often thatn me, it kind of takes a bit to get me to do anything other than what is on my plate right now, but when I do go, IT FEELS LIKE HEAVEN! Move more than you eat and make a conscious effort, I think it is the hardest simple thing I have ever done! LOL
I too love casual, but when we get pretty, LOOK OUT!
Now, I need creamer NOW!
I am going to call nana, she just has to have some so I don't have to drive 10 minutes to get some!

Or you know, tell everyone to back off or you'll come in with a gun tomorrow and make it rain.

You may become the creepy person at work, but they'll leave you alone... and from then on you'll just have to mutter to yourself every now and then in front of people so they keep believing that you're a psycho. And thus... all your problems at work are solved. No need to thank me.

Ah, memories, I used to have rubber band fights with one of my fellow employees, way back when I was employed. We had lots of fun, even got the manager to join in a few times, he got his butt kicked every time. Hee, hee, love those memories.

Hm. The gun-bringing idea... may not suit things well... seeing how the world's been acting up lately.

Does anyone currently day trade... or do any investing at all? Just out of curiosity?

Customer support's sending me a new antibody. Huzzah.

I also have 24 hours before my midterm. Yikes.

I don't know anything about day trade etc. I'm just a simple house wife Sneezy. I do know how to get baby poo out of the carpet though. Let me know if you need that info, I'm all to happy to share my secrets. :)

LOL! Well, that... would... do it, Westy... wow... :D

Nana, is my angel, once again!
How do you get sour milk out of my cars carpet? Alty? I have done everything, including leaving coffee grounds in there for over 24 hours at a time, and more than once I have done it... HELP ME!

If people annoy you, you just cut up a piece of paper as tiny as you can and put it in their drink when they aren't looking, then watch what they do when they take a drink... P.S. this works best in soda cans... LMAO

LOL! Niiiiice Starty! Wow... That's wicked! I like it! :D

Starty - Try a bubbly clear soda. Like Soda water. No sugar added. The bubbles will work the stain out, pour it on and let it sit for around five minutes, then gently dab it up, repeat as necessary. Afterwards try putting a bit of watered down vinegar on it, that will help get rid of the smell. My daughter once left her milk filled sippy cup in the car for
4 weeks, it exploded and YUCK! I couldn't find the source of the smell, the cup had rolled under the seat and wasn't visible. I had to take the seat out, and almost vomited, that smell was rotten. The soda water and vinegar did the trick. Try it and let me know.

I will try it tomorrow, this stain and stench has been a part of our life for over a year and nothing has worked! Thank you
Wicked? YES! Bwwwwaaahahahahahahahah

I've got to go make lunch for the munchkins, oh, and the hubby. Type at you all later. Westy and Sneezy, be good. HChicky, you keep those boys hopping, it's good for them!

Alty Out

I am sitting in the midst of a plastic egg fight!! 3 boys and the fight is on...

I was just mean and b!tchy. On a thread.

I feel delightfully wicked and better about my day all of a sudden.

I was just mean and b!tchy. On a thread.

I feel delightfully wicked and better about my day all of a sudden.

Oooo... oooo... where?? :D I need some of that!

Whatever you have to do Synn...
Now take a bathroom break and go get some hot coffee...

Synn, I got so mad on a thread yesterday that I actually told a guy, that admits that he's cheated on his wife with over 50 women in the last 5 years, to cut of his willy. I asked my husband afterwards if I had been to harsh, he said, nope, if the guy expected sympathy he came to the wrong place.:rolleyes: I tell you, I felt bad after I said it, but it did feel good while I was typing it. My Bad again.

Where is everyone?

Hey, happy day, my reputation went up a square, yippy! Guess I'm not as bad as I thought.

YAY! I love greenies! :) Congrats, Alty! :)

I'm just trying to wrap my head around World War I... I'm here though! :)

@ work. Running around the lab yelling at students.

I also found out that my life will take a drastic turn for the worse as soon as I graduate. Apparently, my salary won't be as high as I thought it'd be. Sad.

Aw, sorry Sneezy.

HChicky, don't work to hard, it'll give you a headache.

Got to go spend some time with Hubby before he leaves for work, then I'm going to play a game with my kids. I'll talk to you all later.

HChicky, if I don't get back before you leave for the day, take care and have a great night.

Alty Out, for now.

Talk to you later, Alty! :) Go get some more coffee!

All right, my friends, I suppose I could ask this over in Relationships, but I trust you all...

An ex (my friends know him as "crazy-stalker-guy") has recently begun a new series of "contacts." Backstory - he's the one that necessitated my need for not only a new phone number, but also a new phone, new provider, AND new number, blocked myspace/facebook, etc. He's also the one that I went to the police, sat in the station with a big, burly cop, and sent the following text - "By sending this text, i am telling you to never contact me again, or I will be forced to take out a warrant for your arrest for harrassing me and be forced to contact your superior officers about this matter." (yup, it was that bad)

He's sent myspace messages "You don't even want to be friends any more?" "why won't you talk to me" and random "Hi"s on msn and Yahoo.

Ok, this threat of restraining order was sent on Wed. Dec 19. There has been no contact whatsoever until last week.

I've been ignoring it, but sheesh - what do I do now? Its harmless little things, but I did say I would do such and such if he contacted me again...

Do I keep ignoring it? When does this stupid cycle stop?

Sneezy? Westy? Any wisdom here? Why would a guy do this? I mean, seriously, I'm not all that!

Just wondering what your take would be... maybe I should post this over in Relationships... I don't know...

Crud... another Coke gone. Sad. That's 3 people.

Um... well that's just plain crazy. USUALLY... when a girl stops answering my calls, I usually back off... but if a girl says, "Stop contacting me..." that's usually a clear "leave me alone"

I'd wait it out a little bit to see if he'll stop... but if he continues, I'd reply with:

I have a new boyfriend now... and he doesn't appreciate you contacting me.

See! That's the thing! You'd think he'd get the hint - actually, it wasn't a hint. I had told him several times to stop contacting me... getting the police involved happened after he threatened leaving something in my Mom's mailbox and 22 calls in 4 minutes at 3 am, horrible texts, threats, etc...

Its past, its over, its done. It just really gets me bothered that he still thinks he can just contact me like that...

Everything in me rebells at the thought of answering these latest emails and "contacts." But, if it comes down to it, I will use take your advice, thanks Sneezy.

I need a Historian.

If its just harmless "hi's" on MSN, then I would say just ignore it... after awhile he's bound to take the hint. But if he does anything to make you feel uncomfortable, or harassed, then call the 5-0 (or me). And maybe you are all that.

Maybe to him you were everything... I don't know a thing about what kind of relationship you had with this guy, but you definitely made an impact.

Its hard to say... it could be harmless, but he could also just be batsh!t crazy like your friends say.

P.S. isn't that the most depressing thing... when you think you have at least something in your can of Coke; then when you pick it up, its empty... *sigh*

Thanks Westy...

Our relationship was that "everything" type of relationship. It was long-distance half of it, he was in Iraq, then stationed elsewhere. That's what gets me, he was my Lifehouse Everything.

Its over, it was for the best, he's moved on - a month after we split up he texted me to let me know he was engaged - it's a mess.

Anyway... thanks for your answers. Yes, I am ignoring it. It just gets me bothered.

Engaged... and still contacting the ex.

That IS batsh!t crazy... interesting...

HC, you need to follow through with what you told him or this could get ugly. I worry, so I would do what you told him... I have to go to work but my thoughts will be with you, sorry you have to deal with this guy, really I am.
I am cool with you having three cokes every once in a while... :)

Starty, thanks. I'm really torn about all this.

Sneezy, yup, engaged and still contacting me. He texted me to tell me he was engaged in October - the police got involved in December... strange, erratic behavior. He "found" the new cell phone number and now has it... still no idea how he got it. So far, nothing on the phone, thank God.

*sigh*

Again, thanks you guys.

Well, I'm headed homeward... I'll check back a little later tonight - if I can beat teeny-bopper and pimple-face to the apt computer! ;)

Wow... I really should be nicer... those two might have profiles on here... sheesh... :D

Naaa... I'm deficient in my espresso consumption and am moody from my day...

Night all! (Night boys, thanks for your replies. Starty, too. I appreciate it very much)

HChicky, I know I'm a bit late, but I'm going to chime in on your problem.

If a man acts like a child then you have to treat him like one. Number one way to deal with a child that is acting up is to warn him that there will be consequences if his behavior doesn't stop. If the behavior continues then you have to carry out your threat, otherwise he realizes that he can do what he wants and you aren't going to do anything about it.

My thoughts on this; you told him to stop contacting you, warned him that any further contact would result in police involvement. Now he's contacted you again, I think that you should carry out your threat. Do not contact him whatsoever, that's exactly what he wants, but do carry out your threat. Show him that you mean business, and that when you say something you mean it. If you don't, I'm afraid that you will be getting further contact from him, he won't give up until he gets that swift kick in the rear.

Now remember, this is me giving the advice, I always shoot first and ask questions later, but I have been where you are now, I've dealt with the obsessive boyfriend (okay it was 21 years ago, but still) and I didn't follow through with any of my threats. What did I get out of it, a scar on my forehead and a restraining order that was a little to late.

Take care of yourself sweetie, I'm worried.

Thank you, Alty. I understand exactly what you are saying. I'm very slow to take action when it comes to my own protection... it took me two full months of putting up with the psychological stuff before I actually went to the police. And you know what was the deal breaker? He threatened my Mom. That was it. That's all it took for me. I mean, I'll deal with it all if you leave my friends and family alone.

I don't know what I'm going to do about it. The first contact was a harmless "hello" on Yahoo about two weeks ago. I ignored it. Then it went to a myspace message more detailed - basically, "what, we can't even be friends anymore?" and telling me about his life, house, dog, and fiancee'. An email telling me he just wanted to be friends. Then over the weekend I left my msn messenger signed in... came in to another "hi".

Like Sneezy said, he has a fiancee' he shouldn't be contacting the ex... that's just simlicity. On top of that, you add the fact of the restraining order and police action and you just have an idiot.

How much of this is my own female reactions though?

Thank you for your concern. I had a guy friend of mine call him back in December to tell him to leave me alone, may have to do that again. But like you said, I don't want to give him the satisfaction of knowing it has gotten to me.

Is that bad? Is that "playing the game" right back? Rah... I just wish he'd let me be. All this does is bring up the past, how good we were, how bad we ended up, all that unnecessary stuff I thought was gone.

Coffee... I need me some coffee... and a date. Someone want to take me out for tacos and pool? Lol...

Well, I am pondering the choices you may have...

1) go straight to the police... if you have a TRO against him, then he just plain can't contact you.

2) ignore him completely. This MIGHT work... or it might not. Again, I have no idea who this clown is... but if you ignore it, he may leave you alone... for the time being.

3) just get someone to kick his teeth in.

As far as the date goes, I offer you a date whenever you're in the atl.

One coupon redeemable for one date.

Expires whenever you want it to.

Off to the lib. Won't be back until late. Have a good night all.

Option three looks like a job for Sneezy and Westy. How about it boys, will you fight for HChicky's love?

Kidding.

HChicky - Where there is smoke there is fire. If you feel uncomfortable with the fact that he's contacting you then you have to act. Always go with your gut sweetie.

Now, you know this guy better than we do, and the fact that you are worried means that you have reason to be. Go to the police sweetie, even if they don't do anything at least there will be record of your visit.

He is harassing you, even though he isn't saying anything threatening, yet.

You've told him point blank, with no wiggle room, that you NEVER want to hear from him again. He obviously thinks he can do whatever he wants. My concern is, what will he want tomorrow, or next week?

Ignoring him is the best course of action, but it should be paired with reporting him. He's not going to give up until he get's to you. It will only get worse from here. Been there done that, paid the price. But at least I got away with my life. Don't take a chance Sweetie, really, it's not worth it.

I know we are all concerned about this. I hope I didn't scare you even more than you already are, but I really feel that you have to nip this in the bud right now. Don't let him believe he's winning, otherwise he'll continue to play his little game.

Sorry, being the Mom again, giving motherly advice. Now do it young lady or you're going to your room.;)

HC--

GO TO THE POLICE. Period, full stop.

He is violating the restraining order. End of story.

If it was bad enough that you had to get a restraining order to begin with, it WILL just escalate again.

He obviously isn't taking you seriously. He WILL take the police seriously.

No waffling.

If I don't hear that you've gone to the police in the next 48 hours, I WILL pull in reinforcements.

You all are priceless. Seriously, you are simply priceless. Not in the humorous sense of the word, but the not-able-to-describe-how-precious you all are.

I didn't take out a restraining order, I made an official report (twice) and then went back to the cops and sat with the police as he dictated what I should say - that was the text when I said I would take out a restraining order and contact his superior officers. So, yes, even though I didn't officially take out the order, he has been reported on two separate occasions and I have the business card of the big, burly cop who helped me. And yes, you're right Synn, he was bad enough before for me to take action, what makes me think he would be any different now. Never did I ever dream I'd ever be in this situation.

I will take all of the contacts and go back to the policeman who helped me before. If nothing else, to file yet another report.

Thank you, again, for your support and rational opinions.

(And thank you for my extended invitation, Sneezy. You're a doll. If I get down to Atl, I'll look you up.)

Good for you HChicky, I'm glad you're doing this, it's the right thing to do.

Let us know how it goes.

If you need to vent then vent, that is after all why we are here, right?

Have a great evening.

Oh, Synn, I'll be one of your reinforcement, call anytime, I'll be there with my whip in a heartbeat.:D :eek: :cool:

as far as the date goes, I offer you a date whenever you're in the atl.



I think the lady said tacos and pool... that's my department. When she wants a 300 dollar meal... she'll let you know.

Westy, you are the one who gave him the idea.;)

FYI, that's how my hubby won my heart, although it was pizza and pool.

Poor guy didn't have a snow balls chance in He*l, I kicked his sorry little butt in pool. He did eat more pizza though, so I guess we're even.:D

Morning all
Ok Monday morning here and I'm back at work , 2nd cup of coffee and reading a pile up of work emails , and of course the coffee shop banter.
Sounds like you have all been busy over the Long weekend , girls running around commando , sneezy and Westy fighting over HChicky , LOL

J in all seriousness regarding your problem with "past BF psycho guy" I think you are doing the right thing in letting the Police know , that way at least they are aware of it.

F4U, isn't it Tuesday morning for you? I thought that you were a day ahead of us, not behind. Now I'm confused.

DOH... of course its Tuesday morning , woo hoo 1 less days work this week , need more coffee :-) sorry to confuse you Alty

I thought I'd lost my mind for a minute. I was actually going to call my hubby and say "Do you realize it's Sunday, you don't have to work today!"

So, are you missing 24 hours of your life?

LMAO... no I remember them now , bit hazy though :-) Big weekend with too much partying I'm afraid.

So you guys have to work Easter Monday?

Most people do, but schools are closed on Easter Monday.

Apparently allot of people have to work on Easter Sunday in Canada too, only good Friday is considered a Stat holiday. What's this world coming to? ;)

So F4U, looks like it's just you and me kid. (smiling slyly.)

Really... in Australia we have the Friday and the Monday off as Public Holidays.

Pretty well everyone is off except people in Hospitality , well we have to keep the population fed and have establishments open to party :-)

Hee, hee. What would I do without you guys to make me chuckle?

Yes it is a funny little coffee shop :-)

Well Alty I might pop over to "Relationships" and see if there are people in need of help (puts cape on)
Then head to "humour" for a couple of chuckles , then maybe "Adult Sexuality" for some more fun (I love reading stuff on that forum ) and keep checking back here.

We just have Easter Sunday off here.

Easter Monday doesn't exist in the US, really, and Good Friday is kind of a "company choice" thing--most don't give it off, though.

WOW Synn... remind me not to move over there , so you have only Easter Sunday off? Isn't every Sunday Off?

I think it depends on what field you work in that determines whether you get Sunday off.

Poor Synn, did you get Friday off?

I'm sending a big chunk of really good chocolate to both of you.

I went home sick on Friday--so yes, but I was scheduled to work Friday.

I'm not Christian, though. If I had been feeling better, I would have wanted Thursday and Friday off, to celebrate the Equinox.

Synn, you make me laugh. What would we do without you?:confused:

Well, it's 7:30pm, bath time for my daughter and boy does she need it today. Her entire face and part of her body are covered in chocolate. Maybe I should just lick her and forget the bath, after all, that's a waste of good chocolate.:eek:

Type at you all later. Synn, use the whip well, don't let the boys get out of line.

I'm heading home to spend time with my honey. Talk to you later.

... errone gone?

Sad.

I'm borderline losing it. Too little sleep, too many energy drinks.

Professor decided to throw another midterm Wednesday. I guess I expected my victory a bit too early. Drat.

In my borderline-crazy attitude, I decided to come up with a haiku:

I like my doggie
She likes to poo on my clothes
Now I poo on hers

Sneeze... go to bed. Haha

The things I've heard today:

1. Sneezy, you look like $hit!

2. Sneezy, you look like death...

3. Are you going to die soon..

4. Sneezy, um... want... help?

Haiku #1865

Sleep is for the weak.
Math will never defeat me.
Victory is mine!

Haiku #6851

I like wallabies.
I think we should support them.
F the kangaroos!

Its funny you should bring these up sneezy , here in Oz the Wallabies are a protected species where as in a lot of areas Kangaroos are a pest , they even have culling programs in some places.

That's what I'm saying. I am a big fan of wallabies.

... I wish I grew up in oz.

... had to settle for NJ and orlando.

So... do you EAT kangaroo or anything?

Synn
I have eaten Kangaroo yes , it's a very Rich Red meat. They also sell it as pet food , however some dogs find it too rich and messes with there internals.

There's good and bad everywhere mate... I was lucky enough to grow up and still live in one of the nicer places in Australia.

Okay Sneezy a Haiku for you;

Now it is silent
Finally I fall asleep
Beep Beep Beep. Shoot me!

And for us coffee lovers;

Eyes show weariness
The curse of the light sleeper
Coffee fills the void

By the way, aren't wallabies pretty much small kangaroos?

By the way, aren't wallabies pretty much small kangaroos?

Yes very similar , but different

Do they taste differently?:D

No... they both use their tongues :-)

No fair, full mouth, water on computer screen, and on keyboard. Kids asking, "Mommy, why are you laughing so hard?", my answer "Just something a goofy guy said."

You are to funny!
