Ladies and gentleman,
if you must venture out in public, do always wear your drawers.

Don't know how much longer these kids will be wearing their pants 2 sizes too large and swimming around their knees. Just saw a kid, running after a bus who's gain was hindered by having to hold up the pants and not trip over the pants legs.

Couldn't tell at first whether male of female, dirty blond ponytail in the beginning dread lock stage, flannel shirt, trail boots, etc; until of course, the pants dipped further than the jacket he/she was wearing.

Undoubtedly, by the look of those curvy round buns, a she. I don't think the men sitting in lunchtime traffic minded so much today.

Gravity is good to no one.

I am watching ag here in Miami... it's been a really sucky day. My parent's 25th Wedding Anniversary is tomorrow, and my Dad had everything planned perfectly... except the one fact that the pearls he bought my mom, "The pearls I heard your Mom mention,".... the reason she mentioned them is because she was going to BUY THEM HERSELF! She had mentioned to him a tassle-chain thing she wanted, but he forgot... and I really don't know what to do. It's really really sucky, in general.

hanging around at my mom's w/ Mavis.

Probably going to see Skooter tomorrow night.

I went to the library today and photocopied some stuff, then went to dinner with some freinds of ours. My brother hits town tommorrow as does my dad, who was away down south.

The drive up was good until we crossed the border into michigan, when the roads got shitty and the snow started flying at the windshield horizontally. We came across one guy who had just smacked a deer with his truck, as he was angrily flinging it onto the snowbank by the side of the road.

Glad to be home.

shivering

yes agatha but not now, agatha. its colder there than here. i want to be warm again.

n.b. -

it's cold in texas right now - in a pleasant, crisp sort of way. but you never know when it's going to start hailing and dent your car and kill your dog.

and in every season and any weather texas is a rat-ass shit hole.

go to new orleans. they know how to keep you warm on bourbon street.

lamenting the fact that winter is upon us once again. with each passing year i grow more intolerant of the cold weather. once the first day of fall comes around my attitude is "six months to go until spring". well, we're at the "four months to go" point and the weather has already become frigid. i don't know. it was ok when i was a kid growing up in nyc, but now i'm 250 miles south and the winters are somewhat milder but i still can't stand it. if i could only find a decent job in florida i would move tomorrow and live the rest of my life in shorts and a t-shirt. oh well, i am looking forward to a quiet thanksgiving with my fiancee and her son. i hope everyone here has a warm, peaceful day with family and/or friends. all the best!

they all went to Mexico...
buenos dias, i got to go.

Pack my bags,and don't be so so slow,should have left you baby,long time ago,on my way...going to Mexico.I think that was Steve Miller,but I wouldn't bet my life on it.

Putting in some time at work before going on a very busy "vacation" full of driving all over Montana. Southwest Montana to northeast Montana is a long fucking way. A state has no business being so big... And it's only 4th largest. And it's damn cold this morning. My little diesel bitched and moaned all the way accross town.

wondering if it was the chinese wine that is making my hands tingly today?

enjoying this bracelet she got for me. not a huge fan of jewelry but its5 rows of wood beads, made from a particular tree, thats has scent similar to your average incense, however a little more musky.....it smells nice and peple like it and it came in a Hugo Boss bag, why im not sure.

recalling all the wonderful wares she scored....
an antique 2 1/2 foot hash pipe with pewter dragons on it, the chinese wine that tastes like antifreeze and comes in a kick ass bottle, the gucci sun glasses i stepped on and broke (the wine), all the wonderful scarves and hand sewn blankies, the binoculars that retail here for $90 that she got for $12, my new cigarette case, and so much more ......christ...i wanna go home and play.

enjoying one of the twelve bottles of moretti i purchased for holiday cheer, and listening to a recording of a wonderful kimball organ which possesses both straight classical and lush theatrical voices. the artist is simon gledhill and he really knows how to make wonderful use of this myriad of resources. the organist holds a special place among musicians. the thoughtful use of his talent allows him to create orchestral and ensemble textures of which no other instrument is capable. i know that many musicians, especially pianists and string players dismiss organists as "button pushers". however, it is the organist who can get beyond the mechanics of the instrument that will produce music without equal. it is an art form that cannot be pursued without endless work. which reminds me, i should go practice for a while.

Gee, uh....n.b.
It's a whopping 40 degrees here right now in Holiday, Florida (35 minutes from Tampa) with a freeze warning out for later tonight so a trip to Florida right now wont be a warm vacation for you.
I'm thinkin' that if it were me taking a trip any time soon, I'd have my ass in Puerto Rico keeping warm, drinking plenty of booze, and prowling around some cool town at night looking for a total hottie to hang with me.

Or knowing the total softie I am sometimes, I'd end up in New York spending time with my Mom and Sister and Brother and Nephew.

A girl can dream now cant she???

...tired. Hey, I just remembered that I have a bag of stale Taco Bell cinnamon twists in the car. Hah! Breakfast time! :)

This is the best time of the day, when the turkey is in the oven, the pies are cooling, the animals have their treats (horses=oranges and apples, goats=frosted mini wheats, birds=salad, cats and dogs=the turkey is for them, 22 pounds of it.) It is just me and Joyce Carol Oates and the wood stove, some Godiva to tide me over until late tonight, maybe even tomorrow morning, when we have dinner. We have had snow already. One pair of hummingbirds is wintering over, and every day I hope they make it through. This year I do not have to get up at three ayem to go to work. I do not have to get up at all.

Webster, the new husband of the Mallard Widows, is taking his job so seriously that there have been injuries resulting from his "mating" behaviour. He is twice their size, has enormous webs with claws, and isn't fast like most birds when they mate. He takes his time, until he falls off exhausted, and the hen is left semi conscious.

Preparing for my AICP 2001 exam, pretending to search for a job, waiting for the drugs to kick in.

sneezing into the 200th Kleenex, right here in my very own room in front of my very own computer. happy to see the post from Sheila. thinking about Samuel Beckett, of all people. imagination dead imagine.

wondering if anybody is out there tonight. talk to me.

sleepy. Just got back from a carb-overload breakfast. Had a decent thanksgiving, pretty low-key since the crazy family friends were out of town.

I really want to go back to sleep like my brother did.

Hi Sheila! Hi R. C.!

fuck it, droop. move here. weather is opressive but not extreme. personally, i miss extreme weather even though i've never really experienced it. this town could benefit from the likes of you. maybe even vice versa. i'd even hone my guitar playing or drumming to satisfactorily play the blues with you.

in manic diamond buying phase. Went to get a relatively inexpensive ring I'd had my eye on, returned with a 2 carat bracelet and a 3 mos. payment plan.

That's what I get for having excellent credit. However, can't say I regret it, to the contrary I walked around with an orgasmic smile plastered all over my grinning mug the rest of the day.

It's so pretty.

Men, if you love her, why not? It's guaranteed to get you raped every night for a month.

Score Sylly!!! I still haven't got my e-bay earrings and I don't know how long it takes.I haven't quite made it 25 years and don't know if I'll ever get the 1 carat earrings,he said he'd take me to Hawai when we were married 10 years and he didn't.But like you said a girl can dream.I think if I keep hounding him I can pull this off. Naked Bill! Costa Rica? Don't get me going,he did take me there.

I hate it when people use the word Rape to describe sex.

i hate it when people assume that all women would want a diamond. or jewelry at all for that matter.

sorry, i'm feeling a bit stressed

Sorry to have offended your sensiblities Gee, Careless of me sweets, sorry.

Any woman who cares not for fine jewelry and suddenly finds herself the un-willing recipient of said baubles can send them to me or J.

not wanting to buy booty with jewelry. thinking thats kinda sad

Who's getting booty for jewlery? That would mean Sylly is fucking herself,I don't think she's that kind of girl! Didn't your wife like that bracelet you got her for her birthday? Like Sylly said, anyone have any jewels they don't want throw them our way.I wear a 4 1/2 ring. Am partial to diamonds.

[email protected]

Patrick,I know you adore your wife and it sounds like the feelings are mutual.

Y'know how much I'd love it if the man I love gave me something truly special? Y'Know what that does to a woman in love m'boy?

Likewise a man who truly loves his woman can't get enough of her sweetness in the sheets anyway. Jewelry would sure serve to heat me up into more than an "extra fervor" when given as a reminder, an expression, a "just cause I thought you'd like it" surprise. Yep, that'd definitely get my honey some "bonus rounds" just 'cause I'd like to make him a bit happier too.

But that's me, I'm a romantic, I actuallly believe in love, till such time, I have to buy my own.

And ladies, your tastes will grown up with you. Yeah we all went giggly and stupid over junk stuff we got from boyfriends in our teens and twenties and yeah, it was sweet at the time; but do you think you'll be impressed with a plastic music box or an accessorie store beaded choker when you're 35? Think not. You'll need to dump the cheap jerk. He don't appreciate you.

I'm still intending to provide a home for un-wanted fine and diamond jewelry. I'll gladly take it off the hands of any woman who doesn't want it. Why should you be forced to endure the sight of diamonds, sapphires or any such horrible stones set in of all awful things--gold? There's that wretched platinum to think of too. I'm here for you sweetie, I'll take care of it all forever!!

How utterly unattractive.

Oh well...I still got a bracelet.

That site is actually pretty disgusting, I must admit.

wondering


j, it seemed sylly implied if you give her jewelry the booty cup runeth over

i thought that kidna sad, love is sought after in peieces of jewelry

i didnt get my wife any bracelet for her birthday....

she does have a hankering for Tiffany's but also the gum machine crap at the bowling alley too....so

id like to think she'd give it to me if all i could afford was the bubble gum machine brand.

im a romantic too,

i think blowjobs are terribly romantic....

Oh for Pete's sake Patrick! I'm talking about "giving"; don't make it sound like prostitition.

What DID you give your wife for her birthday? What'd she give you?

Don't you like it when she makes your favorite dinner or gives you a backrub or vice versa?

Ain't there a dozen little somethings you do for her that make her feel special?

I'd love my man to pieces if he NEVER got me a diamond bracelet; but you'd better believe I'd show him how much his effort meant to me if he did; knowing how men savor the physical aspects of a relationship over almost anything else nearly. Now tell me you fella's don't.

Yeeesh! Can't imagine anyman would complain at the prospect of a little something extra.

We give you our bodies.
We give you your children.
We share the expenses.
We keep you from feeling lonely.

You can always do it yourself and eat your own cooking.

Sylly, re-read what you wrote.

You actually said:
"I actuallly believe in love, till such time, I have to buy my own."
and
"do you think you'll be impressed with a plastic music box or an accessorie store beaded choker when you're 35? Think not. You'll need to dump the cheap jerk. He don't appreciate you."

How can one not come away from that with the impression that you equate love with the monetary value of gifts?

watching the high speed chase of the white ballot truck on the ballot cam on cnn.
i can't take the shrub or the ballot cam.
which way did it go which way did it go

Gifts can be an expression of affection, as can a kiss, a smile, a hug, a card, a favorite CD, the scarf I knitted for a friend. It's all a manifestation of the thought and the feeling behind it.

There's dozens of ways to show it, giving gifts no matter what it is, not excluded.

Now personally, if I choose to give something extra special, it's something I know the person likes but would probably never get for themselves. Makes me happy to see their eyes pop. Because I can--on occassion I DO!! Doesn't mean because they got a sweater last time means I love them any less, or that I don't cherish the beads I recieved from them. They're the folks I love anyway!!

Now it becomes a whole different story when it comes to men. None of my friends got secret Batman decoder rings when their boyfriends proposed. Sorry, but enough of your male, selfish, no account, two-timing, lying brethern have made it much harder for the rest of you decent, caring men to get a date.

You've been saying you love us since you were 14 to get sex. Now we make you prove it first. Some of you guys are still using that and a thousand other lies to get play. I'm saying that usually if the lass starts thinking she's nothing more to him than a used cow, he's probably treating her that way. He ain't entitled to it.

I'd like to think if someone finds me special, he might do something to show it now and again. Something he put some thought into. I would.

Where are all the women on this?

I think it's time to stop picking on Syl. I don't think she's doing the best job of explaining her pov, but I still know what she means.


if someone gave me something really nice I'd be motivated to be extra nice to them.

i you don't know that someone loves you, gifts aren't going to change that

but this should be a thread, not WAYD

give because you want to give, not because you want to get.

oh. and i would love a secret batman decoder ring.

WAYD needs some action anyway.

I only want to point out that there are plenty of wealthy men who use gifts instead of false "I love you"s to get laid.

Last night my girlfriend showed me she loved me by dragging me away from my computer to play in the snow.

But, of course, she likes it when I buy her flowers or a little keychain play-doh squisher thing... Or a nice new sweater. And she is extra-nice to me when I do those things. I think Syl, and everyone else, means well, and doesn't exactly equate physical value with love... It's just not coming accross the same way to everyone.

If I could afford jewels, I would buy them. But for now, play-doh and snow angels will have to do.

One time long ago,when mavis was feeling down, I gave her a small frog.

Much better than a dimaond, which is after all, only a pretty rock.
albeit loaded with cultural meaning.

i personally would feel strange at getting expensive gifts, because it seems the more some spends onsomething, the more desperate they come off.

Not that all gifts of jewels and what not are bad or all are good, but it's the loaded meaning behind. I see too much of men buying women expensive jewelry, not as an expression of love, but as a way of showing off. But if you were given, say, grandma's sapphire ring from way back in the day, well, that's pretty special.

I don't know where I am going with this,actually. I am too poor to afford to blow money on jewelry for gifts, only on things I can afford, like small frogs.
so I suppose that makes me a cheap jerk.

thinking that sem and his playing-in-the-dirt-for-pay could actually net some really interesting gifts for his lady.


hmmm what did i give the girl for her birthday? last time around I gave her a 1975 Fender Musicmaster bass....

i also wrote to her

something i need to do now..

turn on the sap machine


as im in a whole heap of trouble


whats new you say



good question, easy answer




nothing

if a lady gave me a 1975 musicman bass, I might think it was a proposal!

ditching this popstand for Vegas......

No Sem, it needn't be expensive, as long as it's sweet and smacks her right in the heart.(ala T-bone..*sigh*)I was referring more to the the kind of cheap jerk who has a closet of italian leather shoes; shops for himself at Eddie Bauer but takes his lady to Payless. (True tale, one of many she told me after their divorce.)

When you recieve a gift, conclude it is because the person wants you to have it and is experiencing genuine joy at making you happy.

Heather's right on it, "give because you want to give, not because you want to get"

Syl here has to make herself happy in the meantime.

I offcially declare the subject closed! Peace out everybody! You folks fortunate enough to have honies you love and vice versa, "find one hundred ways" to let them know it.
