Damn.  How did you get into my house!  ???

I just like the lights in the head and footboards

We never had anything as cool as a bed with a slide on it, but we had bunk beds with a trumble bed underneth (with 6 kids, we needed all the beds we could get that didn't take up too much room). We would pull the trumble bed out, climb on the top bunk and jump down. We thought that was pretty cool.

My 2nd week at the hospital was pretty busy today.everybody in there was a busy bee today.I'm meeting new people and introducing myself to doctors and nurses. :)

Howard

See.. that isn't that wierd to me.. what's wierd are curtains.. why do women insist on a) opening every bloody curtain in the house and b) having some curtains that you can't close and when you try and close them and break them you get told to bugger off because your useles?


I have to open the curtains when I get up, otherwise the girlfriend let's me know about it.  ;)

My 2nd week at my volunteer site went well. :)


Howard

That's nice to hear, Howard :)

We only have blinds here, and I prefer them CLOSED!! :)


Quite strange you mention blinds, Vile. I walked past a house with electric blue lighting with blinds and I thought "I want that".

I went on my 6th get together with Robin.Wow,she is just great to be with.She has this fun energy that she brings with her when we meet on Sundays.Tonight,we went to see Christmas With The Kranks,ate pizza and we went to Stone Cold Creamery Ice Cream for dessert and both of us has candy cane flavored ice cream which was so delicious.She even fed me a piece of her crunchy waffle cone after and that was good.I really enjoy hanging out with her.both of us have good rapport with each other which is very important in good relationships.I feel so smitten over her.the night ended with a kiss on the mouth which even shocked me cause I haven't done that to a girl in 6 years. :)


Howard

Wow excellent.. i'm so happy it's going well for you. She sounds really nice... i think i speak for everyone when i say HOORAY HOWARD!

Girl Scouts is over until January 10! Yay!

As you know,my relationship with Robin is excellent.We're starting to kick it up a notch by being just a little romantic.She fed me some of her crunchy waffle cone and I licked some of the whipped cream off her fingers,held hands and ended it with a kiss on the mouth.One of my top notch nights. :)


Howard

Christmas break starts Friday, i will be going out of town to stay with my uncle over the break.  8)

I found out i passed my exit exams the other day.

Sounds like he's gonna get pampered with a needle.  :P
Yep  ;)

1 Point short.. How did you sway the Teachers decision there.. or is he/she nice?

He basically told us at the beginning that if we attended & participated and were a point or two (or 3) short, he'd give it to us.  Since I only missed 2 classes & couldn't keep my mouth shut, he gave it to me
Not as exciting as you thought, huh? LOL!


We'll that's nice.. I can't imagine you being quiet lol


What are you incinuating?  ;)

Who me? ;)


I don't see anybody else here.. I must be talking to you ::)

I'm happily pm'ing with a very sweet lady :)

Glad to heard its working out so well Howard !  :)

Last Night,The Friendship Network(NAMI)had a party gathering and Robin finally showed up at the party.She really made my night complete.One of the funniest moments was that her Hello,My Name Is introduction sticker came loose from her blouse and I put it back by sealing it with my hand.In other words,I got to cop a feel on her left breast.She didn't mind at all. :D But,other than that I'm glad she came last night. :)

Howard

But,other than that I'm glad she came last night. :)



Just from that name tag maneuver?  Whoa you're pretty good.  ;)

Just from that name tag maneuver?  Whoa you're pretty good.  ;)



But,I'm glad she didn't slap me or that would've been the end of our relationship. :(

I said to her"Don't worry,I'm not trying to be fresh,I'm just re-attaching the sticker to your blouse". ;)


Howard

Just from that name tag maneuver?  Whoa you're pretty good.  ;)



LMAO!!!!




Cat

So I copped a feel.At least she giggled about it.I wasn't gonna honk her breasts.people were watching me at the party. ;D


Howard

And again tonight :)

I don't know where I'm gonna take Robin yet on Sunday? I'm thinking to a tex mex restaurant.just hope her OR I doesn't stink up the car. ;D(If you know what I mean) ;) They say it might rain or snow but we'll see on Sunday. :)

Just in case the waitress forgets your name, of course. Heh heh...

Howard

We went to a party at the college president's house. To my surprise, I saw the teacher I worked with when I student teaching. We realized that we haven't seen each other in almost 10 years.  :o  It doesn't seem that long ago. Hopefully we can get together and really catch up. (It is so hard to do that at extremely crowded parties.) But it was great to see her.




Cat

Maria gave me my Christmas present early :)

Maria gave me my Christmas present early :)


Nice present, RnRF  ;)

Well,I just came back a few hours ago from my get together with Robin.Today,we wanted to go to a tex-mex restaurant but the had to reserve it for a party so her and I went to a diner for dinner and she had Chicken Parmigan and I had a Beefburger Deluxe.For dessert,we both had gelato which was very good despite the very cold weather in New York City.We both wanted to eat in the gelato cafe but I felt kind of nervous cause the tables that were set up were so close together and I didn't want to talk to a bunch of strangers so we left and we had the gelato to go.

As for Robin,I feel she's kinda demanding lately when last night she had said to me on the phone that either you get a paying job or we won't further this relationship and I won't become your girlfriend.Would you believe this crap? >:( ::) See,now I know I should've shut my mouth. :(


Howard

Nice present, RnRF  ;)
Thanks, LyricBoy...Maria is a very special lady :)

I'm giving blood today, pint No. 55, which I was bragging about the other day, and a dude at our table had given 65 pints >:( he just had to rain on my parade). Anyway, I'm eating a giant Chedders (a delicious restaurant) spicy chicken filet on a huge bun, plate of fries, and a full sugar Coke so whoever gets this pint of blood will have a great meal :)

Howard


Crap is a good word for it.  While she probably means well by what she says, it is YOUR life and YOU have to make your OWN decisions.  Decisions made under a threat are bad ones.  :-\\

Should you have kept your mouth shut?  I say no way.  Sooner or later she was going to "find out"...  You can not enter into serious relationships under the premise of evasiveness or dishonesty.  :-X

When you DO get a paying full or part time job, do it because YOU are ready and do it for YOU.  Maybe she is right and its time for you to do that.  I don;t know.  Only YOU do, and threats do not help.  ???

Hang in there buddy.  ;)

I, like Lyricboy am dismayed at this, Howard. I agree with him entirely. No way should you have shut your mouth because you would not avoid this problem by keeping quiet.

The best I can say is to bite your tongue and wait to find out whether Robin is merely being abrupt or is threatening you. If you find she is simply being abrupt and it is a misunderstanding, then you are still fine. If you find she is threatening you to do something you are not quite ready for, you have to decide what's best for your interests.

I'm talking to someone very wonderful :)

But,why would she want me to be like her? I don't understand? The next day before our phone call she avoided to talk about it.So,that's a good sign.It seems like now going on our 8th get together,I'm feeding her way too much information that she wants to know about me.What do you guys think?  :(

Howard

I didn't get into a car crash today while doing my route on the snowy roads today :D

Well, you're one up on the MORON that passed me today in the right turn lane and promptly smashed into a Mercedes, thus making my 45 min drive home from the doctor turn into 2 hours because I was a good samaritan and stayed until the police came and gave my statement as a witness.
Ah, the cross we bear for being kind people....I'm glad you're alright, sorry you had the long delay though :-\\

I have FINALLY finished my training!!!!! YAY!!! :D

The 100 dogs I had to groom are finally finished after 2 months of slow business! Now I just have to send in my portfolio and I am officially a dog groomer....woo-hoo!!!

The things I do to make money, I dunno!!! :D

Well done, Rio. If I had a dog I would let you groom it. Do you groom cats instead?  ;D

Well,tomorrow I'll be on my 8th get together with Robin so we might go to a Chinese Restaurant and a Movie.She also told me about this Jewish dance club in Manhattan on 125th East 54th street.I told her we can wait till the weather gets warmer.It's too cold to do it right now.That's what I said.I just don't want to travel in the winter. :P

Howard

My son is crazy about trains, especially Amtrak.  I mentioned it to a guy I work with and he said he had a friend who worked in the Amtrak yard and invited us down for a tour.  We got to go into the engine and ride in it while they were switching cars, Jake got to blow the whistle.  They gave him a safety vest and hard hat and it was so cool, he will never forget it
and neither will I. :)

I love taking the train.  People who took the train this week got out of town while others sat
for 3 days in airports, they do all the driving while you look out the window, listen to music, read
a book, or get to know someone in the next seat.  I have met a lot of interesting people on
the train.  The ride is what you make it. ;)

That must have been soooo annoying.  Some people can be self centered idiots.  If that happens again
just take your seat ticket and move if you can, another car if necessary.  I have done that, if the conductor
questions you just tell him why you moved, they are very good about that sort of stuff. ;)

All I want this time is to sit and be alone by myself.I don't want to interact with strangers.I want to try to have some nice peace and quiet( if there is any).I don't want anyone to bother me for 3 hours.I guess Danoota,you can't help people yapping on their cell phones.that's pretty commonplace these days.  ::)

Are you allowed to request to move your seat if you feel uncomfortable? ???


Howard

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing my good friend Robert Thursday Night and for the New Year's holiday weekend. :)


Howard

I don't feel very good at the moment...oops..wrong thread! Guess I can add "Confused" as well :-\\ :D

Better...much better...nothing like awesome music and wonderful people to pick me right back up out of the deep dark hole

I feel pretty good about my trip to Niskayuna tomorrow afternoon.Hopefully,trains won't be backed up. ::)



Howard

Have fun, be safe Howard :)

Howard, just returned from NYC, I recommend everyone should take a few trips there at least a few times!

I plan on enjoying tomorrow night with a VERY wonderful person :)

How was the train ride?  Quiet as you wanted?  My son always came down with a cold or
something from the trains/planes.  Now I pony up for a business class seat,  It seems to work.
The plane is a different matter though, don't know what we will do, we are going on a trip to
the Bahamas in February and I am hoping he stays well.

I'm happy today! I'm moving to California in April to finally start living MY life!

I read somewhere that in Japan there are some places (like movie theatres) that have "cell phone jammers" that disable cell phones and eliminate the annoying noise.

Absolutely Vile

You also seem to be struggling with single syllable words by the looks of it!!! :)

I know. I exaggerated the joke a bit too much. Oh well . . .  ;D

I feel a little better than I did a few hours ago....

It's a whopping 27 degrees here but I don't have to go outside right now!

Actually, they have them here, too.  The problem is that they are soooo expensive to retrofit into a building so they are only installing them in new buildings ;)



NYC should buy those here. >:(

I go back to my volunteer site after a New Year's vacation. :)





Howard

I'm happy today! I'm moving to California in April to finally start living MY life!


What brought this on(or am I just out of the loop?)?  Where in California, my sister went to San Francisco
for a week, that was 25 years ago.  :)

My sneezing fits have stopped altogether from that dust allergy this past weekend. :)

Believe or not, I'm not sure yet. A friend and I are looking into some possible jobs out there. I'll keep everyone updated ;)

People I have know who have gone that-a-way always say that they like San Diego best. (just a

R & R, CA is one of the funnest places to visit, but it's too crowded to live there (except maybe in LaJolla), and the way things are going, it will probably break off and fall into the sea :o  Suggest you bundle up and stay in the Springs.

It has been 8 days no smoking, and for some reason this time it is easy.  I feel great, able to take much deeper breaths already, and I've saved apx. $50!  I feel really proud of myself :)

Within 7 days the nicotine starts to leave your body, after 10 your muscles and respiritory system improve after 2 weeks your body starts to break down and get rid of a lot of the harmfull chemicals that are contained in the tar.. keep it up

I just came back after my 10th get together with Robin today.We went to a mall.We were both shopaholics.I had bought 6 pairs of socks for $10.00 and a blue button down dress shirt for $18+tax which came out to $19.58.Also,went to eat at Sbarro Pizza,walked around and had a good time with each other.I kinda see some romance going on between us.Like,I got to sit on her lap which was comfortable,we both got to hold hands, I squeezed & pinched her belly for fun and laughter and ended it with a kiss on her cheek for the night in her car. :)

Friends of mine who've been to San Diego said that it's the only place in the States (of those they've visited) they'd consider living.  Other friends who've been to conferences there say it's very nice.

My daughter has been chosen for a very minor solo part in her dance school show.  They are going to sing and dance to 'the ugly bug ball' and she has the part of the caterpillar.  Now I've just got to convince her that her teacher wants her to sing loudly and not shout the words!  The show isn't until June so we've got a while to practice.

Awww let her shout, it's endearing

I'm sure she'll do great Karen,  I can't wait to have kids so I can see them do cool things like school musicals/plays :)  Good Luck!

I did some more of my volunteer work today; my supervisor and the people who work in that office are pleased with my progress. When I get this particular project all finished, that'll be good. :)

Not to mention EXPENSIVE!!!  I was watching an HGTV program where a 1500 sq. ft. ranch house was going for $500K+ :o  In my town, the same house would be about $150-200K.


When I was out there (L.A. area), I looked in the real estate ads. For a two bedroom fixer-upper (don't recall the sq footage) they wanted something like $300K  :o

Meh that's nothing..go to London.. in some of the not so great parts of London you can pay that much in Pounds for a fairly small apartment

My supervisor Eve said to me that "you work like a pro" today so I guess that means I'm doing pretty well at my volunteer site. :)

That's great Howard.

Is there any chance in the future (when YOU are ready) to use the volunteer job as a way to get a paying job at the same place?

Alcoholica, I might get to visit London in the next few months.

I've been trying to develop some business for my company here in the 'States by calling a London-based trading company, who has expressed some interest in our product.  If they show enuf interest, I'll skip across the pond for a personal sales call to them, which would be cool.  8)

Well thankfully it has gone midnight now Mark and at least today, although maybe not a normal day is however another one. Once again the sun has come up and is shedding it's light in to your life just as i am sure that Blaine did.

I'm glad that you managed it all ok.

Take care for the rest of the week pal.

Had a great talk with someone who means the world to me last night and realized though certain things are very depressing, there is a possible future....so I've decided to be positive :)

finally met a good friend's other half who flew in from switzerland yesterday. she's so happy (long distance relationship you see). it feels great to see a friend's happiness :)

Valentine's Day is coming up soon.that's good news. :)


Howard

Well, I feel great that I'm going to play basketball later tonight....just hope I survive ::)

I feel great! I played basketball tonight and thought it would just be a pick up game....turns out my friend Mike set me up! We played our opening city league game tonight and I scored 32 points in our 87-63 win :) Not bad for not having played for about 5 months....AND I'm still alive :D

I now love my computer. We just got a new 21 inch moniter to replace our old 14 inch. Its basically a TV.  :)

Hoo Ha.. i love my new monitor as well.. especially because i just put a better graphics card in to the PC and got it to work.. mine is only a 19.5 inch (i measured they gave me an extra half inch) lol but it looks so great compared to my old nasty 7 year old one.  :)

At least the Patriots have nice players...the yankees are a bunch of snobs, Pay-Rod tried to cheat in the ALCS.....so on the Yankees we can definately agree ;)

I am that Psyched.

It looks like Terrel is gonna play... my god how brave is he.. he is putting his career on the line to play in the Superbowl. Goddam that's admirable.

Now, now you two...I'll be banging your heads together at any moment...!

At time of posting, it's a half-hour away from...

ANOTHER GLORIOUS MONDAY and I can spend most of it in that wonderful office of mine...

(Who said optimism's dead...?!! Or sarcasm, for that matter...!)

Oh Paul.. how lucky are you eh  ;) Do you have A/C in your office?

A/C? As in 'Alternating Current'? Oh, yes...someone discovered electricity a while back...!

Oh, I see - AirCon...allegedly we do have it, but not used as yet - it may be pressed into service for a couple of days this July when the temperature goes 5 degrees above freezing (assuming the thing doesn't pack up...!)

Kinda makes me feel like a wuss...not being able to play basketball for a while. He really does have guts though ;)

All it would take is one bad knock and he'd be gone

That's true

That's great news Howard, keep us updated ;)



What I meant was a volunteer site that she has an interview with.She also might want to go back to Molloy College. :)



Howard

I kinda feel I'm getting a little closer with Robin lately.today We went to a park when it was such a nice 53 degree day and we sat down and I shown her my photo album of my family and I felt good about it.We're starting to communicate more.She's the best thing that ever happened in my life in 8 years. :)


Howard

That't really nice to hear, Howard ;)
