I've known 2 or 3 who got married when they were drunk. 28113. arkymalarky - 7/19/2014 6:35:35 PM Stan and I celebrated our thirtieth last October and we had plans to go to the beach, but life intervened. 28114. arkymalarky - 7/19/2014 7:33:40 PM re the conversation above about brush off lines, for some reason I just thought of one of my very favorites from the movie Rat Race: you shoulda bought a squirrel. I tell my students that. 28115. arkymalarky - 7/19/2014 7:38:17 PM but my research paper is on the flash drive that melted and I didn't save it anywhere else...well you shoulda bought a squirrel.
that actually happened to a student this past year, but hopefully he learned a good lesson. as a teacher I get to use that line more often then I might in some other professions 28116. arkymalarky - 7/19/2014 7:54:54 PM Than...
I have an idea for an app: Guess what I was really trying to say. like damn you autocorrect except you guess what voice to text got wrong and what it was supposed to be. 28117. wabbit - 7/22/2014 4:04:13 PM Happy Pi Approximation Day everyone!
Any excuse for a "holiday". 28118. robertjayb - 7/22/2014 6:33:37 PM Please explain for this innumerate. 28119. wabbit - 7/22/2014 11:08:03 PM We write the date as 7/22, but written with the day first, 22/7, it approximates Pi. Since Pi is irrational, it doesn't have an exact fractional equivalent. 22/7 is close, i.e. approximate.
As I said, any excuse... 28120. robertjayb - 7/23/2014 6:22:08 PM hmmm.
Well, I was a journalism major for a reason. Any excuse for a holiday/party I understand and support. 28121. Iiibbb - 7/24/2014 11:59:40 AM My wife, miles, mother and their shenanigans... And my wife's female coworkers antics will turn me into a misogynist yet.
#justdropit 28122. arkymalarky - 7/24/2014 11:54:00 PM Now now. Be fair. Consider the common characteristics of all types of people. Be a misanthrope. 28123. judithathome - 7/25/2014 12:18:46 AM When I was very young...like before Junior High school...my mother was reading this book called Too Late The Misanthrope and I always saw that title as being "Too Late the mis-ANTHRO-pee." 28124. arkymalarky - 7/25/2014 2:55:37 AM makes me think of Alice regarding the people who live on the other side of the world. "The antipathies, I think...." 28125. iiibbb - 7/25/2014 11:38:21 AM It is the types of skirmishes that women get into vs men.... Or at least the women in my life vs men.
Logically, I know everybody's the same. Let's just say the myth of women being the great communicators is dead to me. Three things, what is said, what is inferred, and what is said behind the scenes.... And what is known to be said in other circles even further behind the scenes.
All over trivial slights.
Maybe there are men like this, but thankfully they must not stick around. My BiL is like this, but he's a bit of a sociopath and not a good measure of anything. 28126. iiibbb - 7/25/2014 11:39:53 AM Trying to explain some of this would be like trying to explain a twin peaks episode. 28127. judithathome - 7/25/2014 7:01:37 PM I'm game...watched them all and understood them a bit TOO well. ;-) 28128. arkymalarky - 7/26/2014 6:28:29 AM haha! I love that description 3i.
I never have really gotten the temptation to engage in that sort of thing. I used to tell my principal that I won't stab you in the back. I'll stab you in the front. I hate games that some people play like that, and people, both men and women, played them like crazy where I worked before changing jobs after my school closed. Luckily I stayed out of it because people knew I would say what I thought in front of anybody and put them on the spot. Don't expect me to keep your comments quiet when you're just trying to stir up crap. Play that by yourself. Or with the many other employees who thrive on that sort of shit. Where I work now is a lot more open and direct and laid back, just like I like it. 28129. wabbit - 7/30/2014 6:41:56 PM Happy Birthday Arky!! Hope you have a great day! 28130. judithathome - 7/30/2014 10:29:39 PM Oh wow...didn't have a clue...add my Happy Birthday, Arks!! And Keoni's! 28131. arkymalarky - 7/31/2014 1:30:07 PM thanks so much! For my birthday yesterday I got to Colorado driving by myself! Those of you who know me well know what a huge feat that was, even with gps. I felt like bob in what about bob when he went sailing. I followed stan who drove the truck we rented to bring furniture to our little house. So I'm going to be in colorado a couple of weeks! And it is freezing up here!
