Wow. we're not getting anything

27564. alistairconnor - 7/23/2013 5:12:21 PM

Just skimming, I came across this little gem from some liar :

BTW, I will be paying off Alistair's debt to The Perfect World. He owes that forum $1900, and I intend to pay such a sum, in Alistair's name, for a subscription.

I have no idea what he's talking about. I never subscribed, nor pledged any money to that site.

I'm perfectly happy if he wants to give money away, but not in my name.

27565. judithathome - 7/23/2013 5:51:11 PM

He alleged that the bet entailed the money he'd win from you be donated to PW...that eventuality would have kept me from making the bet, right off the bat! ;-)

27566. alistairconnor - 7/23/2013 10:58:00 PM

Don't remember that, but it's possible. but the 1900 dollar figure doesn't ring any bells. the bet was for 1500.

Overall , I'm pleased wih the way this has turned out. He's obviously much happier abot my repudiation of the bet than he would have been if he'd merely collected my money.

and needless to say, I feel the same way.

27567. judithathome - 7/23/2013 11:33:05 PM

Ha!

I think he figured out the "money owed" by today's Euro value against the dollar? Or by some esoteric configuration rolling around in his head...

27568. alistairconnor - 7/24/2013 9:04:23 AM

Ah ok, then it would be $1952.1083 at the 1st July exchange rate. So he's short-changing TPW. That's OK with me too.

27569. judithathome - 7/27/2013 1:13:58 AM

Our AC has been out since yesterday. Send cooler thoughts our way, okay? ;-)

Ooooh. Wish you had our weather. July 27 and I'm wearing a sweater.

27571. wabbit - 7/30/2013 11:50:14 AM

Happy Birthday Arky!

27572. thoughtful - 7/30/2013 12:22:49 PM

Happy Birthday Arky...may this be the first day of your best year yet!

27573. vonKreedon - 7/30/2013 2:35:36 PM

Hey Arky, Wabbit tells me it's your birthday.

Happy Birthday Arky!

27574. arkymalarky - 7/30/2013 3:41:47 PM

Oh wow, thank you so much Wabbit, Thoughtful and Vk!

I'm heading to the new job to paint on Stan's room while he's at his mom's. They can't leave her by herself any more because she's so prone to fall. I love our new school environment, so work wise at least, I am thinking it will be at least one of the best years in a while!

27575. judithathome - 7/30/2013 10:21:18 PM

Happy B'day, Arks!

27576. arkymalarky - 7/30/2013 10:43:02 PM

Thanks Judith!

Today, 8th August, is Día Internacional del Orgasmo Femenino.

So, um, have a nice one.

27578. judithathome - 8/8/2013 6:37:54 PM

Just one day?

27579. iiibbb - 8/8/2013 9:33:52 PM

I am constantly amazed at how intolerant people are about small children

My kids are 95% or better quite acceptable. Am I going to make travel, flight, restaurant, decisions based on how he acts, or any kid acts, almost never?

I tip a little extra maybe. I'm apologetic to people who don't cop an attitude.

But people act like they have never inconvenienced anyone anywhere.

27580. Wombat - 8/8/2013 10:49:21 PM

Agreed.

27581. judithathome - 8/8/2013 10:55:43 PM

Well...I think many kids today are spoiled to the point that their parents are oblivious when they scream, eat like slobs, and run around the restaurant like they were raised by wolves. They block it out because they are used to it.

Personally, I don't want to be at a table eating food that I paid for with little banshees scampering around all over the place...

We never miss a chance to compliment parents with well-behaved kids...back in the day, I was thrilled when someone did that for me. But my son didn't throw food, scream and cry, or act out in a restaurant. Some parents today seem not to mind that sort of behavior...don't blame those of us who don't like it for being intolerant...some of these people NEED to have their kids' behavior criticized...otherwise, they will continue to think it's just fine.

27582. iiibbb - 8/8/2013 11:42:31 PM

It's mostly the internet rants that I can't stand.

My 3 yr old... emphasis on 3 yr old... is pretty good. We've given him rulse and he's pretty good. 98% of the time.

So if someone wants to judge me as a parent based on a 30 minute meal or a couple hours on an airplane. Screw them.

If you had perfect kids you have selective memory.

IF you were a perfect kid, you are kidding yourself
