Black lung, forsooth! You should have claimed black plague, at least.

On a not even slightly related note, this reminds me of my distant uncle, he had been drinking his aftershave for decades when he had the urge for a drink, which was pretty much all the time, whenever he couldn't get any. Then, the company making that brand, someday decided to stop adding alcohol...but he kept on drinking it to his dyin' day...habits...
I wonder if the non alcoholic cologne seeped out of his pores while he was sweating and acted as an instant deodorizing agent.

At first I did my math wrong for the dog food and I freaked for a few seconds. But then I found out I'd still be saving money if I bought the new dog food. So I'm still able to get it for Mocha. Whew. :)

Do people think they're not saying something by saying they're not saying something? Passive aggressive behavior ftw, right? :rolleyes:

So, in other words, you prevaricate they often procrastinate when they should prognostigate?
(I reiterate, indubidably) ;)

Care to put it in context?

It really depends on the context. If you were to say "I don't support unrepentant gay pastors" and someone says "So you hate gay people?" And you reply "No, I'm not saying that I hate gay people". Does that mean that you in fact do hate gay people?
In this case I think no is the obvious answer.

Yeah it's on YouTube! I do tons of fun stuff on there. I recently did a tongue-twister video. Everyone I've shown it to has laughed. I can message you the link to it if you want! :D
Sure! :D I would love to see it!

I haven't spoken to the girl I used to call my best friend in over a year. Not since I came back home, and told her I was trying to fix my marriage. During the same conversation, she told me she filed for divorce. I don't think either of us knew how to be there for each other, and we just...stopped talking. My mom and my husband have both asked me why I don't just call her, and I really didn't have an answer...I wasn't mad at her, I miss her, I knew she needed a friend. Pride, maybe? I dunno.

This morning, I got a message on Facebook from my friend's mom. She asked what happened between us, reminded me that we've been friends for over half our lives, said her daughter misses me and is confused about why we stopped talking...said she knows this can be fixed if we both want it to.

My life has been a series of apologies, to the same handful of people. I mess up, I say I'm sorry, they forgive me and we start again.

I guess I'm starting to wonder...why they keep letting me back in.

So, in other words, you hedge about the idea they often hold back when they should prophesy?
(I repeat, yes) :)

So you're saying I'm oblivious to the obvious? :p No, fair enough. The thought came up over some responses in a thread here in the Singles forum. The jabs were pretty much harmless banter, so we'll leave it at that.

I concede; I have no idea what you're talking about. Lol.

He's hanging in there. Everyone needs varying amounts of time to grieve in their own way and deal with the backwash of losing an immediate family member. I'm trying not to crowd him, but if I hear from him, I'll pass the generalities along.

Thank you for the update SK!! I understand and figured someone was keeping up with him. Didn't want to burden him with PMs as well as I assumed he received quite a few.

The majority of my work day involves facilitating virtual meetings. If you ever had to run a meeting with 30+ people all dialing in this video will make you laugh...it is our reality. If not, you might mimick wisebeard and say.."wot?"


My lunch is over ..back to another meeting...

In the spirit of Melita's posts about her conversations with her boss, here's one I had with my boss a while back. We're always very sarcastic with each other so when I "protest", he knows I'm joking. Sort of.

Boss: How do you feel about ladders?
me: Oh great. This can't be good. What crazy thing do you want me to do now?
Boss: I need someone to clean off the tops of the freezers.
me: Let me guess... You couldn't get (another co-worker) to do it...
Boss: I just figured you'd be gullible enough to say yes.

me: *cough, cough* But there's going to be tons of dust up there... *cough, cough, wheeze* What about my asthma...
Boss: You don't have asthma!
me: How would you know??!!
Boss: Get up there and get it done!

So as I'm about 10 feet off the ground cleaning off the tops of rows and rows of standing coolers, I would occasionally try to tell my boss:

me: *cough, cough, cough, clutching chest* My emphysema!!!
Boss: Stop complaining!
me: *bark, bark* My black lung disease!!
Boss: You know, the sooner you get it done, the sooner you can come down...

Oh well. It was worth a try.

But he's certainly not getting my vote for Most Sympathetic Manger of the month. :p:rolleyes:;)
should have said.... NYET.

Close with my dad, too. We pm'd before, but as Sib-Khat said, he's taking the time...this one really hurt. He knows we're praying for him, tho, and Jesus is holding him close. Thanks for your heart and the reminder.....been missing shiney, too, tried to contact but no reply. Did she go on a mission, I thought I remember her mentioning a trip? Hope all is well with her. Praying for her as well. Thx cws.:)
