Results of the test done today. Waiting to see when they figure out what caused the blood clots:|
Going up to the In Laws tonight and it is suppose to be bitter cold however Dad said to make sure we bring warm clothes and boots ya know in-case we want to go play in the snow.. My goose will love that he also informed me that he got us a case of beer... Cause he is just awesome like that and I think Mom is making me a cake for my Birthday :cigar2: lucky Bastard am I |
Ok so here is the current thought thing going on - how come people come and LQQK at my "profile page" but NONE of them ask to be friends? So you LQQK and then think "Nah, nope just wanted to glance around, check out the décor" and then flee?
blinks. Note to the Ghost of Admin: from now on can we make it an auto thing that if someone visits your profile page they are auto-added as a friend? ;) (p.s. I have had A LOT of Bustelo today) |
I'm so happy for folks when they have a positive coming out experience.

Just think of it this way PatrickIver, you have to "win them over" just like you do in real life. Looking at your page is just the introduction. Give them time, they will come back once they get to know you better and ask to be your friend. |
So.. originally i was thinking about life, the hopes of my nrw career and the prospects of actual sleep tonight..
But Then i saw Patricks post, so now im curious about thd profile page. Imma go check it out :p |
Things that did not make it into my boxes..
Jewelry that meant a lot to me, bits of clothing, a book series I had just started. Hm. :| |

I think I need to clear up what I meant in the post above. It was just a joke that is why I mentioned I had A LOT of Bustelo today.
I also do not add someone just to "add them". I am very selective and cautious, which I explained in my very first post here on the site. I think there is some confusion as to my post above. Quote:

And I've never read your first post. My apologies, that went right over my head :) Welcome to the planet! |
Still a few things

Im up for a promotion and it's on my mind this morning. Have been waitng since November-ish, and should know something soon. I'm incredibly impatient, so I have some anxiety and nervous energy ... I know there will be some talk, or maybe even grumblings if I get it. My manager has my back on this, but she's a decision maker and I'm part of her team that executes her decisions. I have to work with the grumblers to execute her decisions and am now wondering if it's worth it.
For me, it almost doesn't matter what daily challenges I face in my work, but what is really important is if I can get people outside my department to work with me in solving problems. It's easier to get people to work with me if they aren't angry or annoyed. This is in the context of me working in a department that doesn't generate revenue--all we do is spend money and we spend lots of it, so we're already getting cock-eyed looks. I'll be glad when this is over and I don't have this concern flittering on the edges of my consciousness |
I am thinking that without inflection and tone, words can be inferred however one "hears" them. So that makes me think of a good word for the day: clarification. I am also thinking about last night and convos that I had. Finally, about having a family dinner tomorrow and that I am really looking forward to it, and in the end that is what is truly important. In the words of a chat mate: Shake it off!

This, from cnn.com this morning:
http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/16/world/...ety/index.html This brings to mind something my father talked to me about, on several occasions. When I first moved to Las Vegas with my ex, Pop cautioned me about eating at the various Chinese restaurants in town. Dad was full Chinese (2nd Generation from Canton, China), the youngest of 7 children, raised in Hawaii. and an absolutely excellent cook!!!! No, he didn't do it for a living, but let's suffice to say that, over the years of my childhood, I got to eat some really GREAT Chinese cooking, most of it home style!! My grandmother and aunt would come from Hawaii to our home in Savannah, Georgia, and stay for, sometimes, 3 months at a time, cooking most every day. My grandmother, who taught my dad and his siblings to cook, was second to none in the "chef" arena, and could, via Chinese homestyle cooking, feed 9 people with one chicken (and everyone had their fill!!)!!! Chinese food, in itself, is good, nutritious, economical and healthy. BUT.......... Dad said that one had to be very, very careful about eating in Asian restaurants. Why?? Well, basically, because in restaurants owned by many native Asians (those who come from the "old countries"), the standards of cleanliness that we usually enjoy here in western restaurants, is not maintained in some of the Asian restaurants. In some Asian restaurants, here in the U.S., cooks are brought over from the old countries and, even though they may have to be educated in the use of proper food handling techniques, they don't always employ them in their day to day operations. Here in Las Vegas, as in may be the case in other big cities, the local newspaper, the Las Vegas Review Journal, carries a column in the Wednesday edition of the newspaper. One of the local television stations also does a broadcast version of "Dirty Dining". This column and show expose local restaurants to the public and maintain a "demerit" system that is used to either force local eating establishments to clean up or simply close them down for unsanitary conditions/food preparation. Incidentally, the #1 reason that restaurants, here in the LV valley, are cited is for "failure to maintain food at adequate temperatures" to prevent spoilage. There are many other reasons, too, and I remember reading about one Vietnamese pho (noodle soup) restaurant getting immediately closed down for that reason and for also thawing a chicken out in the friggin' mop sink!!!! Anyway, here's the link to the RJ's "Dirty Dining" web site, so you can see it for yourself: http://www.jrn.com/ktnv/news/dirty-dining As for Dear Wife and me, we make it a practice to not eat at places that are not well known to us, via personal experience or our family/friend's recommendations. Still, we do try to eat at home, most of the time, where we know how our food is prepared and that our groceries are fresh and stored properly. My dad taught me to cook quite a few Chinese dishes, along with other kinds of foods, like eggs, steaks (I'm great with a BBQ) and I do okay. I'm not him, of course, but I do well enough for Dear Wife and myself. One thing I don't eat, and would not eat, is any kind of raw seafood. I will NOT eat sashimi/sushi or raw oysters. Seafood spoils extremely easily and I don't trust restaurants to keep these foods fresh. Dear Wife is an excellent cook and does most of the cooking at our house. That's mostly because she enjoys trying new recipes and she has some really wonderful dishes that are her own. She does enjoy my cooking, as well, and loves the respite that my cooking brings, from time to time. I just wanted to share Pop's message about being careful about eating out at restaurants, particularly ones that you don't know much about. The food may taste good, but you never know how it was prepared, or under what conditions. Getting sick from food poisoning is something I don't ever want to do, and I'm certain that you all feel the same way!!! :winky: Bon apetit!!! ~Theo~ :bouquet: |

bright_arrow- On October 25th I made contact with you and asked you to "please please please do NOT post anything that an ex could even remotely think is about them." (my exact words) And you have been around long enough to know that this is just not ok. Breakup drama *in any form* does not belong on the Planet. Because we have already issued a warning about this very type of posting, you are now on a 30-day time-out. When you return, please keep in mind that referencing a break up, an ex, or any sideways-type of statements that invite ugliness need to be kept off-site. Thanks, M |
Finding a way to get the hell out of this town and state AGAIN!

There was a coyote in my mom's back yard this morning and she has feral cats that she feeds. I am afraid for them. :(
As a side dish, I feel like a fool. But, I will get over it. Onward and upward. |

99% of my life is feeling like a fool, so you've got company. I don't know if it's good company, though. :bow: |

They will definitely eat the cats if they can, but it's cat or dog food left outside or open garbage that might have attracted them in the first place (I'm not saying in your mom's place, just in areas of human habitat in general), or the smell of fast food deep fat fryers, or the dumpsters behind restaurants, etc. If you google coyote and fast food restaurant, tons of stuff will come up. They've been videoed going into fast food restaurants and snatching food from tables without the patrons even noticing. The "wily" coyote nickname is apt. My friend in L.A. lost her cat to a coyote. They come down from Griffith Park and the canyons around Santa Monica. They're hungry and their habitat is shrinking. They eat, then go back to their pups and regurgitate the food for the litter to eat. The animals that survive our destruction of the earth the longest will be the ones who can adapt to eating our garbage—or eating our pets. House cats are the safest of course, but I think indoor/outdoor cats have more interesting lives. The best of both worlds, and the worst. And feral cats really have it hard, I guess. Toddlers left alone in backyards are also not so safe from coyotes, though they aren't the most aggressive canines out there. |
what is on my mind?
