So, what did you learn this weekend?

* Don't try to make falafel when you're drunk, you'll burn your finger!

It has to be love if for the first time in 25 years you actually give a damn which team wins the Superbowl.

I learnt my friends baby is the size of a plum! and that pregnant ladies and really gory horror films after pizza doesn't mix too well :|

And in this weekend's episode, I learned that the veterinary industry is just as scary as the people-medical industry… and that I'll pay over $1k real cold hard cash to try to save the life of my pet ferret, because he's my best friend. And by "pay" I mean go into debt and eventually file bankrupcy trying to pay it.

I learned that if I cuss more on the forums it offends certain people.

/Hugs Logan - I hope he's Ok now?

.

I learned that if that brown stuff on my shoe looks like doggie doo it prolly is and doesnt need to be touched and sniffed

I learned just how important the people in my life really are

Thai cocont milk and the kind that's sold to make pina coladas don't taste the same. Not. Even. Close.

Eh, he should be - paid about $350 to diagnose/bloodwork/ultrasound this weekend, waiting for them to call me back and schedule the surgery for some time this week or next I'm guessing.

I learned what I think many short-term widows in this fine nation feel every Sunday or so when your significant other is glued to a bunch of padded guys tossing an oblate spheroid around on television and is largely unresponsive to any attempt at communication.

"Honey, the car is on fire"
"Uh-huh"
"I'm going out to meet my secret lover, I'll be back later"
"Yup, would you get me a beer before you leave?"

Women and their competitive spectator sports; sheesh!

I learned that it's very hard to date someone with clinical depression, even if I did everything "right". Consequently I also learned that what is best for her, and what both of us want, are sometimes two very different things.

I also learned that friends are important, alcohol is a poor coping mechanism, Valentine's day is expensive (but refunds reasonbly well), and being alone sucks.

Bleh.

I learned that going to a strip club while the superbowl is on will make you very popular with the dancers.

I learned that getting hair-color, highlights a great cut and style really DOES do wonders for a gal's self-esteem. I learned that it also can make her partner really randy.

I learned that 27 hours without electricity isn't the end of the world! And to appreciate a nice warm shower when that electricity does come back on!

I learned that "end of the world" is really a relative statement.

I learned that a *really good* crying jag followed by fried okra is a good coping mechanism (I find okra is less likely to cause hangover and vomiting. Sorry, Lordfly )

I learned that a friend will let you blow your nose in her shirt.

I learned that a friend will bring you daisies even though you look like you lost a couple rounds to Muhammad Ali.

Sounds like there were some awful weekends out there

You too?

I learned that when I tell myself I am going to type a 5 page little story on a word program, it will turn out to be 85 pages when i'm done with it. (Still going at 34 pages!)

I also learned never cook bacon in the oven without a degree in bacon cooking. makes rubber bacon. (Gladly I had test subjects that wasn't me )

Never put a sock in a toaster.


Come on I know there are some others who watch Eddie Izzard out there, we had a thread for crying out loud!

I get irritated by loud, drunk people, unless I'm one of them.

Aaawwww. *Hugs Erpe and feeds her fried okra*

I learned that going to the gas station and getting my car washed during the super bowl is a very smart thing to do as well as doing my grocery shopping for the week. The gas station, car wash and store were a graveyard. Happy times!!

I also learned that friends that have no clue how to build a website or upload it to a server will call me to get help and not listen to anything I tell them. Well at least it wasn't my dime even if I did get tired of hearing them scream at their computer.

I learned that no matter how bad the itch, one should adhere to the 'no further than one knuckle' rule.

I learned that you can't speak common sense to a newly married/newly pregnant woman who is convinced HER marriage and pregnancy are the END ALL AND BE ALL of everything. I have learned that she doesn't know when to not tell her husband things she was told in confidence, and I learned that some friendships just are not worth the drama.

I have blocked the email adrress and am done with that. Being accused of causing drama (when I didn't, I save it soley for these forums) and then being told that I am a bad friend for warning her that there IS a downside to having a baby was enough for me to say screw it. Apparentally she forgot that she turned her back on me in highschool for the "popular jocks" when I was friends with all groups.


By telling her that I would be watching what I told her in confidence so it didn't go beyond her to hubby, she jumped my shit. BLAH BLAH BLAH....and I thought MY hormones were fucked up from pregnancy.

I also learned that eating cream cheese with triscuits every day, or every other day adds pounds to your ass. Go figure.

I learned that (un named religion) can and does infringe on the rest of the world's right to free speech through threats of violence. I learned a European country cares more about the ideal of freedom of speech than the United States. I learned that Google's motto, "don't be evil" doesn't seem to apply in China and that Microsoft and Yahoo will roll over on anything the government wants, even if it is illegal.
