Yes, but who's on your crush list?

P.S. you need to get rid of the "you bore me" line.

Love means never having to say you're sorry. I am the first to admit that never should have used the emoticon. No good can come from emoticons.

You all are just lucky that I am still so angry with our bullpen and (not doing shit) manager to feel slighted by you.

This is what you do. Don't put any water on it. Sprinkle liberal amounts of talcum powder on it. Wait several hours (overnight, maybe). Then gently brush the powder off. Usually, an oil stain on silk can be removed that way.

If you're at a loss, club soda and salt.

This sounds strangely titilating. And prurient, in an a way that has no redeeming social value.

Although there may be a mean-spirited few who enjoy my patronizing barbs and cooler-than-thou schtick, the majority of posters on this board are here for affirmation, not bitter snipes. We share a community here and, though we may not know each others real names, we know each other's purity scores, whether an online algorithm thinks us male or female, and all sorts of other things thanks to infinite e-mode polls. Also, many of us have slept with others.

We post here when we are tired, or lonely, or need advice for a loved one or friend or even for ourselves. We post here because, deep down, we all seek the approval of our little virtual community.

Confidential to Pretty Little Flower:





only flower read please-



maybe I'm too thin skinned also, but those of us on East Coast time have been getting beat up by our bosses and other lawyers for a hour longer than you, so sometimes we're in a vulnerable place later in our day, and you're still at a mid-morning buzz when everything is possible. maybe if you keep your meaner posts to the earlier hours it would be better. fwiw I hope things do work out with you and your crush- whomever she/he might be!

you don't have to change much really, like the post I questioned:
rather than the this is funny/this is not, which I hope you see was hurtful, you could say "I really thought your post was clever and funny." Anyone here would take you saying they were funny as a humongous compliment, because everyone respects your sense of humor! you could then say "Oh, before i forget, I think the smilie face detracts from your post, FWIW." people here like when you use acronyms- it makes us all feel like insiders.

have you read "Queen Bees?" it about junior high in groups- and the fashion board is definately a place where there is the in group- most of us are out, but you are an insider, you are a close friend/confidant of the queen bee! when you attack- it stings!

so anyway, it sounds like things will be cool going forward

Franken wins suit
 
from cnn story -

NEW YORK (CNN) -- A federal judge, saying, "This is an easy case," Friday ruled against Fox News in its lawsuit asserting that a new book by liberal satirist Al Franken violates their trademarked slogan, "fair and balanced."

Fox was seeking an injunction to halt distribution of Franken's book, "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right."

U.S. District Judge Denny Chin, after listening to about half an hour of oral arguments, said the lawsuit was "wholly without merit, both factually and legally."



what was left out of the story --

Judge Chin went on to comment "Frankly I'm surprised that the marketing honchos at Fox News failed to recognize that the only likely outcome of this frivilous suit is increased book sales for Mr. Franken. What a bunch of fucking bozos."


Added bonus, here's the cite -- http://www.cnn.com/2003/LAW/08/22/fo...ken/index.html

You know it's funny, I really wanted to see that quote in there. But my favorite part is this...
For example, one chapter is called "The Chapter on Fox: They Distort, We Deride or We Retort, They Have Lied or They Purport, We Decry or They Are Short, We Have Plied or Smorty Smort, Blort Deblort."

Another chapter focused on O'Reilly is subtitled, "Lying, Splotchy Bully."

Yeah, liklihood of confusion.

It takes a big man to admit something like this and I feel enriched to have been in the presence of such a heroic act.....seriously......did I ever tell you you're my hero? You're everything, everything I wish I could be. Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle, for you are the wind beneath my wings.

Tonite, when I'm drinking my pisco sour and using my home dipilatory kit on my legs, I'll think of you (more than I usually do at such moments) and it will be a thought of gratitude. An attitude of gratitude, iyw, sts.

They do that in my neighborhood too, but there are two people at work with daughters in Girl Scouts.

I had to sell stuff for band and choir from junior high on so I take pity on neighbor kids and try to buy something from any of them who stop at my house.

What I really hate are the teams of teens and 20ish people from out-of-state inner cities (hell, if you're going to send inner city kids to my house, at least send some local ones) that get dropped off in teams to sell magazines in a neighborhood. When they came to my house last summer, at first I thought it was to support a non-profit organization. One girl told me that her life goal was to have her own business. When I asked what kind of business she wanted, she told me that she wanted to get her own teams of people to be selling magazines for her. When she told me this was a business, I figured out some creep was making money off this. Boo hiss.

I have to say, despite all the Air Supply and stuff, really the song that's been going through my head since sometime yesterday is that Melissa Manchester song "You Should Hear How She Talks About You."

Don't know why. Maybe it will go through someone else's head now.
