Hello, all --
More than 90 posts since I last checked in last night. We are a prolific group!
Behan, I think you have a wise way about you. And it was nice of you to share what you've gained in sobriety without casting judgment on your friend. You never know the impact you may have.
Melina, congratulations! That's great news and I know you'll excel!

Enjoy the date, Jen.
Another warm day. Had an exhausting morning running between the bank, the pharmacy, and my home office. Feel a bit zombie-ish this evening, like I could eat some brains, watch a movie, and go right to sleep. Maybe I'll try watermelon, seltzer water and popcorn instead of brains, as I have those here at home and don't have to run out and get them.

Good luck Jen xx
I hope you feel better soon Lunar. I appreciate all the messages you sent me and if you need a friendly ear, we are all here
I have tomorrow off. My mom had the cheek to say to me earlier "You have a great life". No. I would prefer a 9 to 5 job with a proper wage. Although my confidence has improved since my CV is "live" again. I am getting more interviews too since I changed it and wrote in my personal profile "I am a skilled worker with excellent communication skills. I can prioritise workloads and communicate on all levels"...blah blah blah. I want a decent job!!
Actually I am feeling so good these days that today I was looking at the Apple website and I decided to send them my CV, just for fun
It is a big change for me since there was a time in the not too distant past when I was actually too afraid to send out CVs.
My friend said to me today "you have really come out of your shell lately. Keep it up!"

here's some news, I will surpass 30,000,000 minutes in this world sometime tomorrow... strange how I know... I hear a song coming from the wiffs phone, I thought it was a ringtone for someone... no, it's the number one song on the day I was born, wanna know yours? Sure... well the one sight also tells you how many minutes old you are...
that would be a neat music theme, play the number one song on the day you were born next weekend? Weasel? They'd all be hits
stay away from brains BigS... never know what's inside them...
my "stir fry" was edible... and I watched the neighbor's cat hunting in the yard... he was in stealth stalker mode... then all of a sudden he pounced, but missed, then he was trying to catch the little bunny - it was funny cause at one point the bunny was on one side of a tulip/weeds - cat on other side, cat couldn't see bunny, but bunny could see cat... then bunny took off, cat kept hunting in the weeds - should have filmed it... outcome unknown...
I'll be out there tomorrow...
Behan, I fully understand where you are coming from... sometimes the promotion just aint worth it...
have a good night all, gonna watch some more of the sixties - btw, wife is on season 2 house of cards... I offered to watch it again with her... we'll see
hopefully the lawnmower starts tomorrow

((((Lunar)))) just a quick hello, ok? 
Jen....I was pro death penalty for many years till I read The Innocent Man and it forever changed the way I view it. I still teeter back and forth sometimes because honestly I can see both points of view but I can safely say that in my heart I don't support it anymore.
I'm pooped! I ended up babysitting all night because my friends house got major hail damage and while I'm used to having insomnia I'm not used to getting bottles and changing diapers all night. You can never really go back to sleep cause you're aways listening for baby sounds! Works been you'd this week though, so it all evens out right!!
Behan, I loved your post! I'd rather have balance in my life than fancy titles and loads more stress. The western world doesn't see it that way, so not many people understand that kind of thinking, but it makes perfect sense to me! I want to ENJOY my life and the time I have on this earth. You are a very wise man and your little family is lucky to have you!
And congrats on the job, Melina!

Ok! I'm back!
It was great! He's as awesome as he was on skype- down to earth, chatty, funny, sweet.
He said that he thinks I'm hilarious and I looked even better in real life- yay!!
He was planning our next date during this date so I'm assuming he liked me back
I did three things wrong.
1.As I suspected I was eating and I accidentally missed my mouth a little and got artichoke dip on my face and he saw it - I told him I knew this was going to happen haha
2. I still have a bit of a cough from my last flu, we were talking and he said something really funny and I pretty much coughed in his face as I burst out laughing.
I apologized again.
He didn't appear to care :/
3. He tried to kiss me at the end as we were having a goodbye hug, and I went the wrong way and pretty much smashed my face against his mouth.
All good- more laughing.
