just ignore and let this one die

Good morning everyone.

Spring!..so the high here today is of course.. 30F! and it snowed yesterday. grrr....

Thanks for the weekend update Mari.

My weekend consisted of laying pretty low. I didn't accomplish much. But I did torture myself with a trip to an SL karaoke club!

Oh...and Mo gets home tonight! (yay.. *happy happy mousie dance* )

Hey! Stopped by the hangout, but no one was there this morning.

Love the new decor.

This is me, feeling very supergirl



Need bigger boots though.

Good- now quit the rest of the way!

My first gut reaction pop-psy answer is - "Do you really need to ask? What the hell can the average 19 yo offer an adult intellectually? Assuming average adult, btw- also- offense taken to 'hefty' on behalf of all women, hefty or otherwise- shows immaturity, illusions of self image and don't get me started of "no alterior motives (sic), I'm just plain bored'. That part says she as a person has no more worth to you than an hour in front of the tv. Why are you putting down this person we don't even know? A little self analysis right now as to why you feel SHE should want to go out with YOU, might be in order. And yes, that was all harsh and completely none of my business, so feel free to ignore or berate as you see fit- if it gets you thinking. While you are thinking, recall too, you are fresh out of a relationship with another woefully mis-matched, age-wise person. You might want to consider why you are seeking out women that much younger than yourself. You are too young for a midlife crisis, so doubtful that's it.

OK- stepping away from couch now and looking for coffee- the doc is out, leave a message.

And Tod, kidding aside- not purposefully being mean, sometimes we all need mirrors and sometimes relative strangers can see things we ourselves miss.

Hmmm, Amaranthim, a "friend" asked me to ask you how old you have to be to have a midlife crisis?

Pep (Not that I am personally interested of course . . .)

Hmm- good question- subjective I suppose- But I'm an immature 45 myself!.

I had one at forty. Fifty was nothing. Fifty was a relief.

It was a quick one, though. What happened was that it was early in the morning, before work, and I broke a jar of jam on the stairs. They were carpeted stairs, and while I was cleaning up the mess it struck me that it was my birthday, and not only that... but SOB! I was FORTY! and look at me! cleaning jam out of a rug early in the morning...

It just all seemed so cosmically wrong.

My husband came down and listened to my tale of woe and then he said, "You idiot! You're thirty-nine today, not forty! Can't you count?"

And that was the end of my mid-life crisis.

Do you think it is different for girls?

Pep (And is there a top end to the crisis window as well?)

Okay... I tried McD's coffee when they first switched to Paul Newman's a couple years back, and the first day it was GOOD. I tried it again a few days later... it was just okay. I tried it a few days later and literally poured it into the gutter.

Maybe they clean the machine when they change brands. That's the day to go.

Get a prescription for Chantix from your doc -- it costs about $100 per month, but if you smoke a pack a day, you are spending that money anyway. I started smoking at the age of 10 -- yeah, earlier, rough neighborhood growing up. Anyway, I tried quitting 5 times before and never made it past 6 months. I then used Chantix and have now been quit for roughly 1 1/2 years.

And yes, many will tell you that it is the hardest addiction to beat.

I do think a man is less likely to break a jar of jam on carpeted stairs, so yes...

and there must be a top end, otherwise it wouldn't be a MID life crisis, but it must be a smushy boundary, something like the Middle East.

Morning all. Glad to know that I am not the only one who forgets how old I am.:/ I am only 36,but I think I've been having a mid life crisis for 32 of those years now.


/me agrees with all Amar wrote re:Tod.


/me drinks the rest of the coffee,waves and goes off to play WoW.

36-41

Too young before, too old after. Based on life expectancy statistics. Your midlife crisis might vary. Might be around 50 if you come from a long line of people that reach 100 years old and then immediately drop dead.

That explains it!

Pep (Ignored women until 36, married one at 40)

PS Regretting it now

Those frozen things do no justice to a real slider, so you probably would OD if you had one. I'm surprised there isn't a castle in your area, you figure they would have been a hit back in the steel mill days.Before they moved in up the road here, a few of my friends and me toyed with looking into getting a franchise, but they are alll company owned.

Hey, there's a volcano erupting in Alaska!

It started overnight, though, which means no pics yet. I'm on a site with a couple of webcams pointed at the mountain but it's still to dark to see anything. Wait til down...I bet it's gonna look cool.

Gm all!

/me grabs a cup of coffee and runs...

Neat picture.

What's wrong with the size of your boots? They seem well proportioned. And they seem to fit you well.

Me + White Castle =

I've never seen the appeal. *shudder*

Midlife crisis .... hmmm does this mean new kewl shades, dressing like a 20-something, and buying that new sports car, or harley?

Maybe I should sign up for that.

Everyone is "hefty" to me

I only weigh about 95lbs

We all have our 3AM, bars are closing gotta have grease before bed favorites. Some it is Jack in the box, or Taco Bell. Or maybe the Truck Styopper or burrito from 7-11. Besides, half the time I don't even order burgers any more, White Castle has these fabulous Chicken Rings. And if you get them fresh, their fries are top notch as well. And the thickest , most brain freeze inducing shakes on the planet.

/me sends Tod supply of twinkies.

Good morning everyone!

I stayed home today, bad throat thingie. Had every intention of sucking it up and going to the office (I'm very dedicated and payroll had to be run) but realized that I'd better nurse myself instead, so here I am. Feels like a walnut sittin in my throat. I've been through this before, nearly every year but usually get it in the winter. I really thought I'd missed out this year. Oh well. Will sit home, keep warm, drink hot things and enjoy the day off.

Party last night was fantastic! Loved seeing everyone in their retro outfits and the music was great. Had some newcomers there too which was nice to see.

One last thing...

Thanks Amara for that wonderful response to Todd. I think yoiu hit the nail on the head in every way. Sometimes, strangers are useful in helpin others see things which they are not able to. I share all those feelings you expressed.

As for Todd? Take some time away from relationships for a while, that's my advice on top of Amara's. A little self-discovery would be a useful thing right now considering how much you've been through recently. And if you could stay away from the cigarettes? Think of all the extra cash you'll have available to spend on some fantastic dates when you are ready to take that leap again.

And BTW, as a woman with a little extra padding? I've never had any trouble getting dates, or having men find me attractive at all. As my mom used to say; "There's a pot for every cover"

Beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. Beauty, comes in all shapes, sizes and colors

And a 30 count White Castle Crave Case.

Well, then it's not necessary to even say it. It becomes a redundant piece of information, don't you think?
