My little sister is the most easily offended little spitfire in the known universe. My gorram ears are still ringing.

I assume you made a joke about her? A little tip from a guy with two sisters: don't say or even joke about something that could even in the most unlikely of parallel universes offend her. If you're unsure, best to shut up entirely, even if the joke was so funny it could make itself laugh, because it's a guarantee that she won't.

We finally got AC at the office... and what?
BAM, now the heat wave seems to be over. It's chilly, and raining (came to work completely soaked). Talk about timing...
Well, at least it's not as hot anymore, I bet pets everywhere are relieved.

Least you'll have it for next time.

I had drinks with someone for for the first time, in order to have a professional conversation about work/ishness - who happily took out his iphone and waved that he'd found me and my posts on here and knew about my father's health from a post I'd made in April. Errm.

[Darkwatch]

Ouch, that is some pretty good googling he pulled off.
Talk about rude to. Some one is going to have to write up a new etiquette code for the information age.

[MTS]

That is so incredibly creepy. How'd he even find you on here anyway?

[Macros]

I'd assume and e-mail link via profile or something, but that is quite disturbing.

[Macros]

also, am I the only one on my way to google to experiment on my name?

phew, all I can find is my credit for directing invention of lying and marrying Natasha Bedingfield, go me, shes reasonably hot

Yeah well it gets a bit weirder - when I put my real name and/or my email address into google, none of my personal pages come up. And what I find even odder is that my old posts got read so he has a sense of who I am.

I am keg lid. I have no sense.

I do that regularly and eliminate anything I don't like. You never know, who'll go googling for your name. I also have two e-mails, one for message boards and one for serious stuff.. Saves me sorting through heaps of spam on my serious e-mail account.

Whoa, that's creepy O_o


Besides that, money is messing with my groove; rather, the lack thereof *sigh*

Pick a channel and stick to it you little sock stealing WART!

[Hellian's Keg Lid]

O.O

Macros, I ate your socks. I'm sorry.

I just broke up with an absolutely fantastic lovely woman. She cried.

I feel like an utter right bastard but it was the right thing to do.

Saying that still doesn't make me feel any better about hurting her.

Being grown up sucks sometimes.

OK, I'll bite - WHY did you break up with her if she's so fantastic?

[RodeoRanch]

She's moving to Vancouver come September. I didn't feel right continuing a relationship that was going to end so soon. We were getting more and more into each other and I thought it best to cut it short now and save some hurt from later.

Maybe a poor choice. I don't know. Stupid feelings.

Wow, you're rivalling me in the pessimism stakes. Vancouver isn't THAT far away from Calgary, especially for the right woman. And if the distance then proved too great, at least you would have given it a shot. But it's too late now I guess ...

Oh well, life goes on. 25 is a good age for being stupid when it comes to this stuff.

I know distances get a little bit bigger up there in America's Hat, but if it's worth it, the distance can be overcome. You've gotta have an end point in mind though and a great connection. If you ended it now, then you were telling yourself it was good, but not that good.

It's probably the right decision, but make sure the door to go back isn't nailed shut with a skunk in the yard to discourage any backtracking from you.

Rodeos only 25???

Hey, that's a good point. I had never thought of it that way.

Ahhhh ... the Skunk of Regret, less well-known metaphoric cousin of the Bluebird of Happiness and the Chicken of Depression.

LDRs are possible, and at times probable, but also depend upon the sacrifice one is ready to deal with. It's a scientific formula.

Rodeo, I salute you. And if she comes back to kick you in the nuts, grab her foot and say "stay". If she says no, flip her and run.
