LOL

Guys,

We all need to clean the language up here a little. Justuss watches me like a hawk. (with good reason I might add)

Just got WW back from oral surgery. She had 4 wisdom teeth removed. In Mexico, the tradition is to place your baby teeth in a shoe under the bed and, in the night, the little mouse comes in and collects the teeth and leaves money. For DDs, the going rate is 30 rials per tooth. WW recovered her four wisdom teeth and will place them in a shoe under the bed tonight but she demanded a raise.

KiwiJ,

Good luck to you. It is a very demeaning/degrading thing the talk you are going to have. My advice is don't get defensive. Bite your tonguw if you have to but open your ears and listen. Don't speak too soon. After your boss is finished, carefully look for positive ways to explore and explain. Just don't get defensive and get your back up. Don't leave the meeting in anger.

I thought Pio was going to ask for a refund on the teeth.

Let me guess Pio. You are going to be the little mouse? Better hope the ghost of your Mother's cat (Hi Mom!) does get after you.

BTW, I apologize for the earlier t/j. Don't know what came over me.

Okay just saw that one can search for a member as a keyword. I did not know that.

I don't want a refund on the teeth but I would at least like a rebate on the package they came in.

KiwiJ,

I wanted to add - don't go into the meeting thinking you are going to change your boss's mind on whatever is bugging her. Her mind is made up more or less. You can't reverse her opinion. But you can bend it. Let her have her say and then make your points. Think of it like POJA. Just remember - the worst thing you can tell a boss is that you think they are wrong. It is an ego thing.

I thought my "1em0nman" analogy was pretty good. Let him search for THAT one.

And maybe 2much has had too much. Did you ever think of that? Just when I think I have it bad, I realize there are people who have it far worse. I hope 2much is okay.

Trix,

I am not much of one for tears but that did it. Oh and happy anniversary. What do you get for 30 years? Isn't that some kind of metal or gem? Oh, my Google search says it is pearls.

2much is never around this late. The only ones around this late are those in far away time zones, those on the bottom of the Earth and folks who are in US who cannot sleep.

BTW, tomorrow is my second week of treatments. After about two weeks, I am told, I will begin to loose things. Not like my pencil or wallet, but you know, brain cells. Like I have any to spare. I will do my best to stay away but if I drop in and make comments that betray my condition, please politely and gently show me the door.

I don't guess I told you about the email exchange with STBXW did I?

Very nasty and very unfortunate.

Reader's Digest version: it's all my fault.

You told me about her concern over the medical insurance premiums due to your medical expenses and that she wanted to be sure you kept your life insurance up-to-date. In a nutshell, it seems like she wants you to go quickly, quietly and cheaply.

If there was another, more recent, exchange, you have not mentioned it.

One good thing about losing brain cells - you never miss em.

So if we go by who is online about this time and correlate that to infidelity, it seems that most infidelity occurs in Asia and Australia and the USA and infidelity is rare in Europe and the Middle East. That is, of course, a generalization not accounting for insomniacs.

Asia is not at all surprising!

Right now were in the middle of the afternoon, at the office... reading MB waiting for the clock to move faster.

Well this should keep you busy and may help ToddAC hold back a few brain cells.

If a train leaves Denver, Colorado at 12:00 Noon and heads East at 88 mph and another train leaves Newark, New Jersey at 3:30 PM that same afternoon heading west at 112 mph, at what time will the trains collide?

Bonus 1: At what time will it first appear on CNN?

Bonus 2: How many days will it take CNN to realize it is no longer a "top news story"?

Bonus 3: Who will CNN decide was to blame?

Oh, and ToddAC, I am sick and tired of your poor translation skills. Please get it right. I am one single individual person. "Lice" is PLURAL.

For the last time, I AM A LOUSE AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT!












(nikko will have a field day with this) <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I assumed that your name referred to the lice in your hair, not you personally as being a louse. I can go either way with it.

I think you know where I am coming from.

OT: Miss PR becomes Miss Universe and passes out?

Correct, I wake early and am on after 0400 and sometimes up as late as 0100 but generally I try to catch some zzzzzzzzzzzzz from 12-0400 daily!

Glad you all noted my absence, makes me feel good...I guess I haven't had 2much yet...return of the H last pm, thus my board absence.

Todd, why would you stay away from us during your most vulnerable time when you're loosing things????? Seriously, don't you think it will be a good diversion and some humor therapy is the best thing for anything...we won't be too nice if that is what you're fearful of...I don't think any of us would discriminate against a particular condition <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I for one wouldn't harrass you any more or less but at least we could support you thru...I see you are juggling multiple adventures at once...I think that regardless (irr) of what challenge, adventure, lunacy life deals us we can apply some basic principles and applications. Should I open up that discussion or is it too serious???

Humor is wonderful...many of us women can probably attest to the incident of actually laughing until...no we don't pee in the shower (that would be better actually) we end up peeing on ourselves in laughter (sometime coughing fits) beiginning in pregnancy which escalates with each pregnancy and haunts some throughout life...fortunately I've only had the preg episodes!!!

Yep, TMI but again if I'm really laughing hard and truly happy I snort!!! How sexy is that! A snorting woman, who could resist that...I once threw my head back in laughter so hard I almost knocked myself out (hit a wall that I didn't realize was that close). I can see the visual now y'all probably picture me as the female Napoleon Dynamite!!!

Ok, kids are yelling for me to get off laptop as I have them here eating breakfast at this cool little wireless cafe.

Check in later

Snorting is definitely NOT sexy. I have a nieve who does that. I can make her do it just by saying that I am going to make her do it. She always laughs (and snorts).

I think one of misunderstood Todd's post.

Ok, I'm sure I did misunderstand...maybe I should have a board name of "misunderstood"...which BTW is or at least once upon a time I thought was a great movie but it's been decades since I've seen it

Don't worry, I don't laugh enough to snort alot!!! I guess it could be worse...there are other not so sexy symptoms associated with intense laughter that I thankfully haven't experienced <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Your whole lice/louse name...I read why but must say now that I have engaged in a number of conversations say there are truly some similarities...persistant, attention grabbers, pesky, difficult to eliminate, overlooked initially but make themselves known and finally not my personal opinion but note that others on the board my feel differently ...annoying <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Yep, you can come back with 2much drama, 2much babbling, 2much psychosis, 2muchc of 2much...bring it on!

As for Todd...were you serious, sarcastic, what???? about staying away during tx? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

KiwiJ.,
How goes the job today? Let us know if you need some anger management classes or if you charmed them??

Trix,
Tell me about how you managed to remain M with 3 kids and WS...I'm sure you have some expertise to offer for me in same boat of sorts

duty calls
