Who was that white guy who killed the black guy by shooting him behind a bush?
The piece could have been done better by showing each person's name each time they spoke. I missed a bit in the middle, and it was confusing later. 16764. judithathome - 9/27/2005 7:00:23 AM Hey, sometimes resistance is scientific and sometimes it's just good manners. 16765. Ulgine Barrows - 9/27/2005 7:13:15 AM Sometimes people aren't raised 'properly'
with their big ideas of what they will be
I don't have PhD, shouldn't that person lead the way?
Talk about good manners.
Yes, I could learn some. 16766. Macnas - 9/27/2005 8:56:41 AM But sure what good would that do? 16767. Ulgine Barrows - 9/27/2005 9:01:55 AM Absolutely nothing, sure as I'm sitting here. 16768. Ulgine Barrows - 9/27/2005 9:09:52 AM Freak off, I'm un teachable 16769. Ulgine Barrows - 9/27/2005 9:17:34 AM Yet my hair is quite soft
I drive my own car...... 16770. alistairconnor - 9/27/2005 9:18:59 AM I certainly have nothing to teach you, Gine.
A lot to learn, always. 16771. Ulgine Barrows - 9/27/2005 9:28:23 AM Don't make me cry
You've won my heart
Yet I won't stay 16772. Ulgine Barrows - 9/27/2005 9:38:15 AM Love comes from from a corner of a smile 16773. Ulgine Barrows - 9/27/2005 9:43:03 AM I paid some dues
We'll meet again some day 16774. Ulgine Barrows - 9/27/2005 9:44:27 AM tangled up 16775. Ulgine Barrows - 9/27/2005 9:46:46 AM keep on keepin on
I don't know what you do with your lives 16776. Magoseph - 9/27/2005 4:20:22 PM I don't know what you do with your lives
Well, some of us are in another realm of time than you are, Ulgine.
After listening to Flexy for the last year-and-a-half about how to go around at the local Wal-Mart, I followed his advice, which was to ask an employee at the door where I wanted to go and write it down. This place is so large that, unless you know in advance where the things you want are, you might go around and around to the point of exhaustion, Round and straight cable needles, stitch markers, harness for Butch, and a broom for fall leaves were the only things I wanted so I was out of there quickly. I had absolutely no desire to see more of the store.
Gone are the days where I could be found marching up and down aisles with kids trailing me.
16777. Macnas - 9/27/2005 4:29:51 PM My Missus, and I describe outings to large shops thus: you don't go shopping there, you go trawling.
It's a thing I tend to do if I'm not pressed for time, you're wandering around, looking at stuff, saying things to yourself like "mmm, extra mature cheddar and water biscuits, they'd be nice!"
All you went for was some washing powder and 2 tins of baked beans. You come out with the nice cheese and light biscuits, a good bottle of red to go with them, some of that dark chocolate the Missus loves, two cartons of free range eggs and some bacon rashers, cos it's been ages since you had a fry up, and when you get home you find you've forgotton the beans. 16778. Magoseph - 9/27/2005 4:51:37 PM At least, you didn't forget the washing powder and what you bought went a long way toward being forgiven about the beans. 16779. alistairconnor - 9/27/2005 4:59:41 PM I stick to the smallest possible shops which are compatible with what I need. In theory, this means I'm wasting money, because the stuff is more expensive, but in practice I'm saving money by buying stuff I don't need... but it's mostly the time problem. Minimum an hour to get into the hypermarket and out again, even if you only want two things...
I noticed the other day that my smallish, localish supermarket now has everyday items like stacks of 25 CDRs and HP ink cartridges. One less reason to waste time in town.
And now I'm off to pick up my g-f and take her home to my place...
oh bugger what am I going to make her for dinner? 16780. Ms. No - 9/27/2005 5:15:25 PM Carbonara
16781. Ms. No - 9/27/2005 5:22:27 PM It's fast, it's easy, and it's kind of gourmet batchelor dad food: Pasta with bacon and eggs.
