Gray, I hope you are going to one day post some pics of that humble abode of yours.
I'm dying to see it.
How's it going with the new girl you kind of like? Still talking to her?

weaver, thanks for asking. No, no women right now. It's been a cold spring so far. All recent leads have been dead ends.
Gives me the blues sometimes... but today I don't care.
FAR, my Hammond is a humble M3 with its own speaker. It, and my violin, are sadly neglected recently.

Dude! All you need is a leslie!
Seems like the reviews of the M3 are all very positive.
Might be fun to move the speaker around, and put a rotating horn in the cab.
How long do you wait b4 you start thinking, er, uh, doing something about women?

FAR, I'm pretty impressed by the M3. I reckon mine needs a little work because it makes a bit of gurgly noise when it's running. It's cool though - really beat up and ugly, just the thing for a dude to have in his dining room.

What do you suggest? I do a good job of putting myself out there. But man, things have been dead lately, and all recent leads have fallen apart.

My dad wants to pay for me to have the carpet pulled up, the floors sanded, and then refinished.
If you lived closer, GC, I'd offer to pay you in beer and women. If I could find the women, that is -- all you'd get right now is me and DD, and though we're both female, we're not gonna be able to satisfy all your desires for girls.
(We are, however, quite cute. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />)
I've been to visit HoFS, and then I got sidetracked into the discussions about religion rather than coming right over to the campfire when I got back.
Weaver, I'm so glad you feel comfortable enough to talk about your religion here.
Aphelion, your descriptions and comments over on the DaVinci Code thread are fascinating. I don't meet scientists who are practicing Christians very often. The ones that I know, though, are some of the most thoughtful people I've had the pleasure to meet.
NewBeginningsII, if you're reading here, here's a hug for you. I want you to know, because I know you worry about these things, that I have great respect for what you're saying and working through. It's really cool and I don't want anything that I say to be a wedge between us. Come to think of it, if I remember to I'll e-mail this to you, as well, so I'm sure you see it.
An update on HoFS: He is doing pretty well. He's lost 30 pounds in the last four weeks. (Just like the infidelity diet, this is NOT the way you want to lose weight.) He's still not able to stand up for long periods of time, and standing still is almost impossible. However, he did manage to go out for a couple of hours on Saturday -- we went to Wal-Mart and picked up all the things he's been waiting to get for four weeks. We also got him a couple of new pairs of shorts and a belt, since none of his fit him right now. We spent Saturday night playing Risk with his boys (I really enjoy Risk, and am glad they like it, since I rarely get to play). Sunday was a quiet day. We did housework. Laundry, food prep for the week, sorting mail and other papers. We talked about finances and kids and mundane things. In between we took naps and smooched and made good food and laughed with each other.
I missed him. Three weeks is WAY too long to go without seeing him. If anyone has a magic way for us to spend more time together without negatively affecting our kids' lives and contact with their other parents, let me know. I'd love to hear it.

I'm at a conference. This afternoon I ran into a woman I haven't seen in years. We hung out a while and caught up.
She's kept in touch with a woman I used to get on famously with, back in grad school. I got along so well with this other woman, in fact, that one day, many years ago, I decided to stop getting along famously with her and started avoiding her instead. I hadn't been married for very long, but I could tell this friendship was sure to end in tears.
Today I heard that this woman has since gotten married, had a child, discovered her husband's affair, attempted unsuccessfully to save her marriage, and fought a horrible protracted bitter custody battle, and that she's just starting to pick up the pieces.
Sometimes we make choices for ourselves, sometimes other people make them for us.

Just J,
"I don't meet scientists who are practicing Christians very often."
You probably meet them more than you realize. They tend to be, more often than not, too awestruck by the shear wonder of it all for words.
Less talk, more action.

Say, guys, I noticed the other day I'm coming up on my 1K MB post. Seems significant, somehow. Something to be either serious about or frivolous with.
I don’t really post all that much. Took 2 ½ years to get here.
What did you erudite types do with yours?

Aphelion,
Just past my 1K post.
I saw it coming, got ready for it, and it blew by me without me realizing it. Oh well, I'll celebrate at 2K if I remember.
Erudite?? You got the wrong man...I spell my name DANGER!!

GC, back away slowly. Give her at least a year, and preferably two. In that time, you can be a friend, but not more.
Then? Well, we'll see. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Uh huh. Re-make a friend, Gray. You know the drill. Oh, and how's the eyebrow?

I have magic powers.
I posted to the thread started by OnlyHuman’s OW on Recovery a couple hours ago. While I was typing I had a random thought - I wished OPs in general would just disappear. Of course, I was projecting this from long-running opinion about FWW’s OM, but the thought was certainly a concrete one.
About two minutes after I posted, the whole thread disappeared - right off the board. It hasn’t come back yet either.
Better be careful out there. Don’t make me think you into oblivion too.
There’s no proof I can’t do it, after all.
ed: It was a good post though. I suppose there has to be a downside when using magic. Keep the universe balanced or something.
