I think it was explained to me that the photo flash could temporarily blind the driver. Or something.

Makes sense Olive

(more sense than 'woder')

I wasn't going to share this but as you are all good people. I got a really snotty email from some lawyers who said they represented a certain fast food chain. It had come to their attention that some t shirts and sweatshirts that they had issues with came from our firm. Well unfortunately for them the very expensive originals didn't come from me, I may have copied those. They will be good sellers for a week or two

Once upon a time, Weasel was walking to a super villains lair in his Batman costume singing nostalgic songs like na-na-na-na na-na-na-na-na, BATMAN! when he came across some blueberries. So he took a taste, as he had little to lose and not much to gain. He became aroused and fantasized about grouper sex. Since he was on some else's real estate he thought he better 23 skidoo outta there and get his head straight. He thought of nice things like puppies and flowers and parties and birthdays but it didn't work too long. Soon his mind wandered back to solstice naked bicycle parades. Desperate to be rid of these thoughts, he hopped into Miss Ruby's double posting time machine. There he took solace in all of the bacon bacon.

Hey everyone! I am baaaaaack

That's great ArtFriend. I love the tiny raviolis. Now that you're back....

I'm in the office with an actual keyboard for my fingers to fly over as I quickly type every inane thought that pops into my head. Ha ha ha ha!!!! She gloats in an evil villainess laugh.

Or, I will just say, hello. And I forgot. Brynn, V8 and toothpaste is just the nastiest. Worse, almost, than orange juice and toothpaste. My toes are curled thinking about that taste.

I took the train in. I'm leaving now to take the train out. *****!!!

Sao ,
23 years of doing what i do .. managed to teach the guy who i'm "shadowing" some new things about the software package and it's deployment on his site , I think i did it without seeming too big headed or in any way to show him up .

People seem friendly , company seems fine , just a matter as to if i'll get bored or tired . Part of me still wants to go live by the med or do some puttering round Europe for a while .
Obviously i have mex-m8 to think of but if i feel the need to go and do it i'll have to go and do it as otherwise i'll get resentments growing and that is fatal .

I dunno ArtFriend. I'd say Gilmer likes cats, given her avatar. If you Google damned souls cats the first image on my phone to pop is the little raviolis, twittered by science cat. Which coincidentally is what my son calls his ginger cat beanie baby.

Just paid off another credit account, yippee! I love it Feels good. We are buckling down and tidying up our credit and finances. Our FICO score is good but it could be better. My husband wants to sell our house, so we are getting prepped for it.

Her avatar is a dog! (isn't it?)

I never googled "damned souls cats"... got this off Facebook. I just know I have my own cat souls in my home who I love dearly, including Katie the blind kitty.

Congrats Hippo! I wish I could pay off my CC debt.

Good evening weekenders,

So, it seems while I have been gone, the bus has arrived at the forbidden, FOULNESS ISLAND!!! ☺ Classic!

I hope everyone is keeping well. Some cool pics posted today.

Well, my first sober work outing has been completed successfully. I enjoyed the historical walking tour without being distracted by thoughts of when are we going to start drinking. I enjoyed playing bowling really badly as others got drunk around me. I loved being able to offer others a lift to the restaurant. During the meal, I was mindful and accepting of my natural shyness in social situations and did not feel the need to chemically remove my inhibitions. I observed others who can slowly sip on a drink for the entire evening. I also observed others, including a colleague who is a close friend, get more and more inebriated. The look of either concern, sarcasm, or judgement directed at her disturbed me. I'm sure those looks used to be directed at me. I enjoyed driving two female colleagues home, making sure they got to their doors safely.

I will remember all this in the morning without fear or regret. I will have no dread going into work on Monday.

At this moment, I can't fathom a reason to drink......

B
