23480. judithathome - 1/30/2008 12:06:48 AM I'm curious to know what you think is so wrong with my attitude. I know you added a smiley face and so will I...see? ;-) but I don't understand what provoked you into thinking I am outwardly hostile simply because of my remark before. Arky explained exactly why I felt that way and while you might have missed the CalGal/Briggs-Meyers years here on the Mote, they had an effect on me that wasn't all that pleasant and have caused shudders to erupt in me each time I see groupings of letters like the ones you posted. (insert another smiley face here, because I'm really trying to be humorous)
You don't seem to think Arky is hostile...just wondering why I'm being labelled so?
I never worked not because no one would hire me but because I never needed to. No one balked at hiring me, I just chose to be a stay-at-home mother and got rather used to being idle. ;-) Cue the hordes of SAHMs who work their asses off and will say so!
23481. wonkers2 - 1/30/2008 12:46:04 AM Whatever happened to CalGal, the Wicked Witch of the West? I once called her "My Last Duchess," and she accused me of threatening to kill her, as I recall. 23482. iiibbb - 1/30/2008 3:24:13 AM Message # 23480
Perhaps because it was a one-sentence reply (in particular the "BS" and "on-and-on") in which I don't have the benefit of your inflection or knowing your past whatever it was with CalGal.
In fact your admit in this post that you have bad memory about whatever conversation that was... well it shows.
Whatever. I personally think it's interesting and gives me a few insights about why I behave the way I do in certain circumstances... I don't know how you could use it to decide what job is right for you. I look at it more from the social side of things. 23483. David Ehrenstein - 1/30/2008 3:26:55 AM 
23484. Ms. No - 1/30/2008 8:27:50 AM Wonk,
She runs her own site -- The Perfect World -- where a lot of former Fraygrants and Moties congregate as well as refugees from Salon's Table Talk and the like. It's a big, active place with regulars you'd know. There used to be a Mote thread there --may still be-- where you could look for folks. 23485. Ms. No - 1/30/2008 8:30:17 AM Well, thanks for that vision of lovliness, David! I'm sure to have sweet dreams this evening. 23486. psychprof - 1/30/2008 2:16:19 PM '' I don't know how you could use it to decide what job is right for you.

MB is commonly used in association with careers.

Yeah...or you could see what she and others were saying about us, since that's about all that thread was originally for. I wonder if they are still predicting the Mote's weekely demise? Ha!
23488. judithathome - 1/30/2008 6:09:39 PM IIIBBB, my memory may be faulty but I do recall giving you words of support on the few times when you were willing to share some stuff with us and I was just surprised that you reacted to me the way you did/are doing, that's all.
I guess my joke fell flat and I will bow out of this whatever it is now... 23489. alistairconnor - 1/30/2008 6:32:47 PM Oh well. Probably iii and Judith will never go on holiday together, as they say... Myers-Briggs incompatibility.
I once called her "My Last Duchess," and she accused me of threatening to kill her, as I recall.
That's about par for the course. Did she press charges? 23490. Magoseph - 1/30/2008 9:38:30 PM Wabbit, would you try to find out how our WizardOfWhimsy is, please--I can't stop worrying about him. 23491. wabbit - 1/31/2008 2:40:47 AM Email sent, mags. 23492. iiibbb - 1/31/2008 2:57:07 AM Message # 23488
The words of support were much appreciated too.
Let us not have a disagreement. The deficiency of the internet is that the way we say it in our head when we type it on the screen is not the way it may be read. Obviously I misunderstood and only replied to your message asking why I interpreted it the way I did to explain why it was read that way.
I honestly don't want you to feel bad about it. An obvious misunderstanding. I apologize if I have offended you. 23493. Magoseph - 1/31/2008 3:30:50 AM Thank you, wabbit. 23494. judithathome - 1/31/2008 6:59:04 PM Thanks, iiibbb...let's just forget it and move on. I don't want us to feel "touchy" about it.
My husband is n the moving business and everytime he meets a client who is leaving Texas and going "back home", he asks them the same thing: "It's the food, isn't it?" and that breaks the ice and 9 times out of 10, he gets the move because they get into deep discussions about food. Keoni is appalled at what Texans call "local cuisine". He is not a fan of Tex-Mex food at all.
So being a recent transplant to the South, I was wondering how you're adapting to the food...do you miss what you were used to or are you finding the local food pretty good?
23495. anomie - 1/31/2008 7:26:56 PM Judith, I know you didn't ask me but I'll tell ya anyway... Apart from a few co-workers, the ONLY thing I liked about South Carolina was the food and sweet tea. There is a buffet/steakhouse called Ryans that has the best buffet I've ever had - and I've had a few in Vegas. The best fried chicken...and many southern specialties you don't see much like chicken gizzards, greens, bananna "puddin"...okra...breaded pork chops....real country ham, and all cooked and served to perfection.
It's the only thing I miss about the place. 23496. anomie - 1/31/2008 7:33:03 PM ...and catfish. How could I forget? They have catfish on the breakfast buffet there. 23497. judithathome - 1/31/2008 8:16:13 PM Oh, they have Ryan's here, too! I've never been; will have to try it out some day.
Do they have "early bird" specials? Heh...I recall my auntie talking about them, how she and my uncle would go to "dinner" at 4:30-5pm to get the Early Bird specials and end up falling asleep before 9pm every night.
I guess if yu did that and got into the routine, you wouldn't even notice missing the good TV that comes on late. ;-) 23498. anomie - 1/31/2008 8:23:16 PM I know Ryan's is a chain or franchise but they're not all the same. Of 2 in Charleston, the one I frequented was markedly better. I'm not sure why...probably just one of those organizational personality things that seem to perpetuate. Or maybe it was just the cook!
Not sure about the early-bird special. I just ate lunch there.
And although it fancies itself a steakhouse, th eone steak I had was atrocious. Someparts were tough and stringy while other areas were overly tenderized with chemicals or some kind of tenderizer. IOW, not a quality cut of meat. 23499. anomie - 1/31/2008 8:26:43 PM iiibbb, I meant to wish you well in the southland and say I hope you like the food if nothing else. You are in red beans and rice territory perhaps?
