Exploring the Statute of Limitations

In matters of the heart, my experience has always been that I regret the things I didn’t do. I hate to sound hokey, but you’re the hero in your own life. If this girl could be The One, you owe it to yourself to pursue her or at least check with Mark that he’s given up his dibs for good.

At least you learned ONE thing from me…

Well, we’ve all been wrong before, at least once, but I don’t guess that means that we’re always going to be wrong. I think checking with Mark again obviously shows that you have a lot of respect for your friendship with him. The fact that you’ve held off getting involved with her when so many opportunities to get involved presented themselves shows you have a lot of respect for her too. <P> I don’t think I’ve ever read anything you’ve written that doesn’t indicate that you are a solid, grounded guy. It’s one of the reasons I am so happy to read when you update. I do hope it works out that you two can date, and I hope it’s a wonderful experience.

Ha…I have a better one. Don’t get involved with your sister’s ex. Even if she has realized she’s gay and has moved on with a chick.

After this long? With his permission? Don’t think twice…go for it!

I personally feel that there are enough people in this world that I would never ever ever date a friend’s ex. Or a sibling’s (EW!). But it does make sense that you’d find someone dateable in the pool of friend’s exes because it would make sense that you’d have things in common. All the power to you, as long as it’s not going to ruin the friendship with Mark.

RYN: I personally enjoy getting high before a work out because I get really, really into stretching. I relax, and breathe into it. I want to be as flexible as I was 10 years ago when I was in gymnastics, so that’s my tactic and it works damnit! Also, unlike most people, smoking gives me a BURST of energy. I just keep going and going and going, and I don’t wear down. I know – I’m a freak!

everything sounds right about her, and since it’s finally a good time for you stop worrying about your friend, he can handle it!

Depends on how legit he is with his ok. I had one who said ok and later she decided it wasn’t ok when she realized I had more fun with him that she did. Needless to say (because we were young girls) it was not pretty. She drew battle lines between friends & everything. I really couldn’t have cared less once I realized I ended up in a happier place, but just make sure his “sure” is the real deal.

Depends on how the friend feels about it. I’ve dated friends exes before, but ALWAYS after checking with the friend first. Bros before hos, and all that. Chicks before dicks.

I think she sounds pretty great. Its only going to be a matter of time for you, I think. The right woman, the right time, and boom…Big Daddy becomes a real daddy. It would seriously be a crime if a guy like you didn’t have a great family someday.

Yay, I’m so glad to read you!!! My thoughts on your Dad, Dave is totally right, I have found that path as well as far as using everything my Dad’s taught me. That is part of the cycle of life I think. It still is so hard I am so sorry for your lost but your friend definitely summed it up perfectly. It will actually bring your family comfort and those who loved your Dad to see those pieces of him in you. ************************************************* As far as Jessica goes, “Carpe Diem” you can’t live today and worry about the present or past. Everyone has a past with other boys whether you know them or not. Today’s what we’ve got to be happy with. So, go be happy, really its okay. I think the timing is a bit *meant to be* personally, I mean with everything you’ve just been through and taken care of, you need some love and fun. Love,

Do not go for it. I’ll be jealous. You ready for a drunken call tomorrow night, mister?

Concerns about Mark: As long as Mark said that he’s ok with it, and he did, then that shouldn’t be a problem Concerns about it taking so long: Oh HELL no. If you want a deep, lasting relationship with a woman, putting it off as long as you can is a good test that’ll it’ll work, and that she’s REALLY interested in you and not the idea of you. Eric

First, Dave’s comments are very true- I think that the lessons our dads teach us are their final gift to us. Second, I think you’re fine after all these years to at least date her. Checking in with Mark is, of course, the gentlemanly thing to do. Of course you have to be prepared to accept his feelings about the whole thing.

I too would spend the whole night talking about you.

Seems like an appropriate amount of time has passed. And if Mark is green lighting the whole thing, I would say you are in the clear.

ryn: Yup, Perez is awesome. I’m such an addict! BTW, I love your icon thingy up there! Very good show.

RYN: Even my cell phone recognizes that you are the King of All Things Booty-centric, and when I am engaged in the act of macking, it dials you up in order to worship at the temple of Big Daddy. Or something.

RYN: Thank you. Seriously.

My poor ass, my ass! No matter what you may think, that thing will never be “small”, no matter what I do to it. I promise.

Thanks for the notes hon, you rock. How’s the new hunny? RYN: I am ready to call the property manager’s boss or CEO of the company just ’cause no one puts ME off!! love ya…

Sage words, indeed.

Sounds like you’re being cautious enough on this one. And it’s years later, and you have his blessing…of course, feel that out a bit, but I’d say you’ve got a good thing going if you want it.

RYN: I found it on a random google image search…can’t even remember what I searched under. Lack of Sleep or something like that.

Hmmm. I just randomed in and discovered that you are debating on dating someones else’s leftovers. Isn’t this world not big enough that we can not meet new people who are entirel dis-associated (sp?)with other people we know/knew? Hey, you don’t know me….we should have coffee sometime. I like coffee…almost too much. Maybe you shouldn’t…I could scare you off with my bizarre habits….Hmmm? Okay. Okay? XO,

RYN – Let’s see some photos.

Then I think you should start drinking coffee and visit Canada. Don’t worry, it’s not too big!! *grin* XO,

*sigh* November 12. Coming up, far too fast!

Hey J, been awhile since i was here. I am sorry to hear about your father but just think that now he is in a peaceful place looking down and watching all of you. hugs, Aims

No. You are not an idiot. I’d say the statute has passed. Coming from the point of crossing that line when it certainly HADN’T and no it didn’t work out as we know, I’d say you’re in. And enjoy it. Now. Since this is how old of an entry? How the hell did it go? xoxo

Get in there, fool, before someone else does! That’s my piggish advice for the day. Thank you and good night.

ryn: of COURSE it was a bad idea. Deliciously bad. bad, naughty, sick, stupid and wrong. But baby…..it felt so, so right. MAGICALLY right. and i loved every second of it. p.s. at least you can stop your boycott of FRS; she stopped working the strip club. p.s.s. but you can still be tsk-tsk-ful of me, i won’t mind. where would i be without my jiminy cricket.

COOL………… so when you gonna invite me to a real football game in KC ????……….Hey, from ova here!!….

ryn: yeah, thanks for the reminder. 🙂 i was just glad someone mentioned the photoshopping. i am SO tired of people going off on nicole’s weight.

RYN: I think it’s because in the VERY beginning I saw in him exactly what I was looking for in a man. He was fun, sexy, and honest all rolled into one. I just didn’t realize that he was incapable of seeing past himself. And for some reason I’m still clinging onto the idea that maybe he’ll grow a brain and be perfect. I know it’s dumb.

don’t worry, you are thoroughly beloved. by like, 98%.

Hey, today I’m missing you horribly. Consider writing an entry?

“She was right. I AM hot. But more importantly…” LOL

And you were concerned about the working out b/c…why exactly?

Did you stop boycotting me yet?

ryn: I typed it up in Word with Paragraphs and all but in pasting it they were lost. It was 2am and I was too tired to bother fixing it but I will today.

ryn: amen!

it’s acceptable only if he is truly ok with it. some guys pretend to be, then get pissed when you do it. they play the “you knew I really didn’t mean it” card after the fact.

and ryn: yeah that helps

Are you still ignoring me? HMMM?

RYN: Maybe I AM afraid of being manless? My relationships always seems to overlap. But at the same time, I enjoy the constant busyness of juggling men.

ryn: what was it about?

ryn: hey, at least I’m on your list.

ryn: petunia lane was at a friend’s wedding back in January that Ben and I went to up in Tacoma. and she was lookin’ HAWT!

Okay, now I’m mad. I quit the strip club, for God’s sake. And I never stripped once.

I’m coming to KC this weekend for a wedding….and I’m bringing the man!!!

Okay, you seriously need to write here. I miss you. You are almost to the complete bottom of my favorites list, though Paige still has you beat. I know you have been through a lot and I love that you still read me but I miss reading you! Love,

Hey J, i am so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. I know how hard that can be. I just lost my grams about a week ago and the funeral was yesterday. Still numb and can’t believe she is not here anymore. I was with her up to the end and it was tough. In the numb phase right now. About the girl, i say if you feel she is worth the risk then why not? Aims

Thanks so much for your note hon. A lot of this spine of mine is coming from what I know my Dad would want me to do for myself. That last fight when he was basically telling me what a crappy wife I was just made me laugh because I know how much I do for him, the kids and the restaurant. I pictured my Dad and his steely irish blue eyes and it gave me strength. He would not have wanted this forme or the kids. I miss you!

ryn: damn it! Thats what I figured. Oh well.

ryn: nicely done. i actually laughed out loud at that.

RYN: You two may have a point there. My best bud basically said the same thing. She went to counseling with her ex-husband, but by the time they went it was too late. I will consider it if we keep having the same thing happen over and over. And…the weight? Exercise + diet + stress + falling in love = 118.

ryn: she is the EVP at Penguin in charge of finding new writers. She is the one that discovered Pessl (..calamaties in proper physics…) Every author I have spoken to (5 so far) that have book deals based on blog who were previously unknown had to have a book proposal to shop around with 1 sample chapter. The reason,I’m told, is that when you are doing a memoir or something that is non-fiction, you are groomed and directed. If you have a blog already they prefer to read your chapter and portions of it to talk about the outline.

RYN: You totally have a little bit of a foot fetish. Don’t deny it!

RYN: Great idea! I wonder if they’ve ever had quesidillas??

You will NOT be that old man. I won’t let you.

Just to keep you updated on the important things in life…It turns out that Okaasan LOVES quesidillas. I’m now checking into the availability of flour tortillas over there. LOL

ryn: Nope. Someone else’s husband.

RYN: LOL, no! I just had a crappy vac.

You probably already are; like it or not. Special begets special. God bless.

So, I guess you will just not be happy until you’re all the way at the bottom of my favorites list like Paige and Dani 🙁 write dammit! Thanks for your notes hon. You hold a special place in my heart here at OD. Love,

You bastard. I see how you are. I saw you leaving a note somewhere. Oh yes I did!

RYN: Really? Then why doesn’t he ever call? ;^) Eric

RYN: It’s on a cinderblock foundation, with crawl spaces underneath the whole thing.

RYN: Well damn, and here I was thinking you were wondering why my floors were so cold. LOL!

ryn: I’m glad your cousins don’t eat turds.

RYN: It wasn’t an election, honey, it was an intervention.

Cant wait to post the photos for you… Shoot me your email address again in case it’s not in my outlook when I get home. mmmkay??? You’ll LOVE it. Simply gorgeous. Book a honeymoon suite if you can–request room 241. It’s only like $150 more for a week. The view from the room is insane.

RYN: were you doing your Borat impression or asking me about the Hummer?? LOL 🙂

Very nice, I like… made me have big liquid explosion! LOL. My mom went and saw the movie with a friend she grew up with upon my recommendation. We had shown her some clips of him on “Da Ali G” show. Lets just say she was not impressed when he said he compared Pamela’s ass to being tight like a 7 year old boy’s. Still cracks me up though.

wow… a note from you… I can’t remember the last time THAT happened…

Definitely enjoyed hearing about it?? What was I/we doing??? Was I dressed at Borat with my thumbs up saying “much success”???? Or perhaps it was me receiving the award for “number 4 prostitute in Vegas?” LOL, yes, I’m obsessed with Borat.

the recruiter IS retarded and while the deer hating company looks ok, I only do Real estate PR.

Hi! –

ryn: thanks. I’ve appreciated your notes through this time.

RYN: What?! That doesn’t get you hot? 😉 Be well,

ryn: Why shouldn’t I get back with him?

ryn: yes, but I wouldn’t be able to forgive MYSELF.

ryn: does that mean you don’t want my body?

Actually, I expect KC to cream them. The worst run defense in the NFL vs a running team? It won’t be pretty, but you should still win handily.

Jesus Christ – is this shit show still in production?

*looks up* How nice. Personally, I like your entries. They just don’t appear often enough.

Hey Dude, GLAD you are still kickin’. Sorry to hear about your Dad, mine passed away a few years ago too. You will always have that hole in your heart, but I guess it’s our duty to carry on and pass the torch along….. GREAT sage words (as you said) Best Wishes from snowy Oregon…. Take Care….

Happy New Year, Little Duke.

WHEN ARE you going to write again ?

Hmmm….Sh*t show. Sounds messy. At the very least, your crap-tastic noter could have offered you a tissue.

ryn: I could go into deal about a conversation Eric had with my SIL about how hard it is being single and in his 30’s. ANd how he has to play games with girls. So it was so funny when you left that note. He plays games because he seems to think it’s what he has to do.

ryn: Yeah, he’ll be really easy to blow off. He lives 250 miles away.

that dream sounds AWESOME!!! I’m sure you felt full when you woke up too… or maybe hungry????

RYN: I know!! See the thing is, he’s done this another time, and I told him to tell me if he ever wants to sleep in, and he’s all…NONONO! I love doing our morning thing!! So..what gives? I guess it’s better to just say, who cares.

I think with women, there is a time-rule factor. If it’s been long enough. Besides, unless the guy really shit on us (in which case, the girls would have all talked and NO ONe would touch the guy) he’s fair game. I would NEVER date anyone who’d been with one of my sisters. I’ve seen my brother in law naked on several occations (in public, nothing sexual) and even THAT’s WAAaaAAAy too much info.

Promise.

RYN: They are testing her for all auto immune disorders, not just AIDS. She has been sick off and on for a long time and they have yet to figure out what is causing it, so now that she has an actual competant doctor, they are testing her for all of them, though the chances of her having AIDS are miniscule to none. But when she heard that was one thing they would be testing her for, she

(c.) immedeately freaked out and started calling people up, going, “THEY’RE TESTING ME FOR AIDS!” Then, when people started to freak out about their own health and she wasn’t getting the attention she wanted out of it, THEN she started saying, “Why are you guys freaking out so bad? I told you the chances weren’t likely at all that I have it.” … She failed to mention that part at all. Jason

(c.) and I are still going to make the trip down to the health department to get tested just to be sure. We’re waiting until whatever virus we both have clears up first to make sure it doesn’t mess with the results. No false positives, thank you.

hardy har har you fvcking dimwit!

You know what? You have one life and dammit, you have to do what makes you happy to some extent. Believe it or not, to some degree, the same rule is unspoken among true female friends. The ones who don’t abide by that rule are the ones that are called “bitches” behind their backs. But I digress. Follow your heart…or whatever other body part leads you in the that delightful girl’s direction. 🙂

Also, my most sincere condolences for the lost of your father. By reading the previous entry, I can see that he was a great man. If you never forget all the things that he taught you… then he will never truly be gone. Take care.

And how are YOU?

ryn: you’ll be sorry! you’ll miss me when i’m gone! what, that’s not the right response? hey. it’s better to burn out than to fade away.

To all the people who keep nattering on about the world being big enough to find new people to date….flog off will you. It’s not about dating the entire world, it’s about finding the person you click with and if you click with someone why shouldn’t you give it a chance? I’m with EWS on this – if Mark is cool with it then don’t keep hanging around to see if he changes his mind. Besides,anything prior to oh,…2000 should be considered ancient freakin’ history. Sounds like the only person who’s unsure is you. Figure it out man, we need some nice entries up in this joint!

of course I didn’t give it up. I only went on 2 dates with him and we didn’t even hold hands. There was a rather chaste kiss on my doorstep on our second date. Perve

RYN: Smartass. 🙂 Techincally, Jeff won it. But yes, the Hummer was prize. Heheh…you said Hummer. Be well,

ryn: WHAT??? Oh come ON! ;o(

ryn: isn’t it enough to know you are the #1 diarist I’d like to f*ck?

parku, that was EIGHT years ago! i’m practically an old lady now!

RYN: I put up the logistics explanation for you on the entry. I know you’re asking because you’re jealous. 🙂

So, judging from your avatar, you are still alive. …unless you got blown up by the lite bright terrorists.

Why? I mean I just need more of an explanation … if you care to explain.

What the fuck dude? Can’t you throw us a MORSEL?

ryn: you can blame “TG” for the monkey suit.

what do you mean “why do you cling?”

I’m not the clingy one. He’s the one always seeking me out.

So you’re seriously going to tell me to just avoid him and that’ll solve it? Is that how you would want a girl to handle you?

what in the hell are tapas?

RYN – Bullsh*t! There’s always drama among your wolves, too! Didn’t you used to like one of your friend’s girlfriend? I wish I could remember the details. Besides, vadge tastes funny. I miss it, though. I really do.

RYN: =) My bad. But you’re a doll for leaving me with not only a smiley emoticon, but also putting a smile on my face.

RYN: Roving or bits of uncarded fleece go on the drum carder and become batts. Batts are spun and become yarn. 🙂 Riviting, eh? 😉 Be well,

RYN: You’d get along just fine, especially in Tokyo. It is such an intense city, like NYC ten-fold, but a lot of people speak at least a little english. The transit system is complicated, but most signs are also in english. Pick up a really good guide book and you’d do well.

RYN: Agreed. But aren’t you seeing someone now?

RYN: Yes – – great group. But they couldn’t even remember the words to the songs that night.

RYN: “Why don’t you buy a car? Even a little $500 turd to get you to work and back?” We’re on the same wave length there. Do you have one for sale? I haven’t (yet?) found one that wouldn’t take a large amount of money to make road worthy. If I find one, I’ll snatch it up faster than spit on the spittle. 🙂 Eric

RYN: She reads through the notes she gets, and argues with us in class over them. The people who try to defend their work are usually the ones with the least defensible work. Seriously, it took me fifteen minutes to read the first page of her story — crazy syntax.

ryn: RE: my ‘walking thru the door …’ entry — you naughty dude! LOL! You really do that? No way! Remind me to sound the horn when I see you coming thru. HA! HA!

ryn: HITLER YOUTH RALLY??? now, now Parli – that’s a little harsh. MH is a RABID Eagles fan. They actually think the “eagles” symbol means daddy.

I guess I know how I’ll dress them up if we ever meet. Head to toe Eagles green (they have Eagles outfits, their plates are Eagles, their cups are Eagles, they Eagles bibs). Okay, now I’m starting to freak myself out. I never thought about how much of it there is! And btw, are you EVER going to write another entry or have you reincarnted yourself again?

ryn: thanks. Can you tell me the whole story or tell me where I can read about it? I only remember the concept.

ryn: fair enough. send me your email addy.

RYN: That rectal exam and root canal thing is GREAT. I am totally going to use that.

I had to scroll through an insane amount of notes to get here. RYN: She refuses to donate 800k in my name!

Found you while wandering through OD.

RYN: I’ve tried it. Ehhh….don’t need to do it again. It doesn’t appeal as much.

RYN: Well, what do you expect? YOU won’t come and sweep me off my feet! LOL

so, what’s going on for you these days? Happy? Working? Single/dating/married? I want to know all!

ryn: I don’t think he really understands, because it’s not like he follows me around the appartment and we also have a huge place. most of the time he’s watching tv way over in the living room while i’m in the bedroom reading or we’re in our own separate computer rooms. to him being in different rooms is the same thing as ‘space’. I think mostly it’s my fault because I could say no to most of the

things we do on weekends and just stay home alone for a few hours but i don’t like to miss anything fun so my only chance for time alone is when he’s doing something i don’t care about (like watching the game or at band practice) and those things are so often cancelled. if he’s going out to dinner with friends i always want to go!

ryn: because of my extreme attacks of hypoglycemic hunger I’ve had my blood sugar tested several times and it’s always been fine. But I can’t seem to believe that it is, because you don’t get THAT sick from being hungry on a regular basis from a fast metabolism!

ryn: but would you want to see ME in person?

ryn: the way i was able to make it work last time was by finding some specific foods (especially at breakfast and lunch) that I enjoyed eating and just stayed in that rut. Took the whole planning element out of the equation.

Because men ALWAYS suck! lol I’m guessing from the fact that I was perfectly happy with one and he turned into an asshole. My guess. Glad to see you are alive.

ryn: did you like the leg shots?

j, i say that if you believe this person is worth the risk and you see it being the right time, then go for it! You have everything to gain and nothing to lose. If your buddy went out with her a long while ago and says he is ok with you dating her then i say why not? We only live once. hugs, Aim

ryn: nicely done. the whole ‘tried to be an internet millionaire but lost’ thing did a number to my credit score.

Oooooooh, I only dated presidents… And trust me, many, many, MANY non-prim & proper things happened! That’s why the girls ended up hating me so much. Too bad for them I had more fun & continue to have more fun.

ryn: i’m extremely disappointed in the potential v the reality of Bush, but I absolutely can’t vote Dem, so I’m kind of stuck with the Republicans. If there was ever a viable third party that actually could make a difference in politics as usual, I would be all over that in a heartbeat.

ryn: SCREW YOU! 😛

Because I’m idealogically opposed to pretty much the entire Democratic agenda

I’d pretty much like at throw a football at my mother right now but I can’t. Mother’s Day is tomorrow and that wouldn’t be nice.

Gay shmay. It’s the frosted tips circa 1998 that irk me.

ryn: by that notion, it doesn’t make any sense to go to a barber -IE: the dems – where I know I’m gonna get a shitty haircut. Better to hold out for the possibility that my barber might actually learn how to cut hair again. Or find a third barber altogether.

It’s hard to think clearly when people say dirty things to me!

Oh, trust me. I got that memo a long time ago. Just changing the method of removal. Lasts way longer.

I always hang in there. Go back, you missed the version with pictures.

RYN: Right now, I totally agree with you because I havne’t ever had lobster done right. But snow crab? Man, put a pile of legs in front of me and I’ll put those around me to shame with my mad crab leg crackin’ skillz. True. Be well,

I’m actually really shocked that you took my side this time. Usually you take the side of the man I’m ranting about.

You need to update again, dude. It’s been close to a year. Well, ten months, but still close to a year. 😛

xo

Oh come on. I’ve been ignoring her for DAYS. I had to say SOMETHING before I blocked her ass! I’m calling dispatch at lunch to have her number blocked from my cell phone and I already blocked her email. I should have blind copied him so he could see it before she erased it, just for fun. Honestly though I don’t care. And it felt good to at least be a LITTLE childish back. She is trying to convince me it was all a game so that she doesn’t lose face, but everyone already knows and it’s not like it matters. I said my piece and I’m done. I wanted to call her names too, but I held back. Mostly. I had to have SOME fun with it.

Ha! Lust left me a voicemail saying the same thing. Please just don’t respond to her anymore. My 2 texts and one email to her 17 voicemails, 2 texts and one email. Shit. Girl doesn’t get any fun around here!

Do we have to wait till 2014 to find out what happened?

http://opendiary.com/entryview.asp?authorcode=C100014&entry=20258&mode=date

ryn: I swear they were covered last time I was in! I promise!

RYN: Huh. My male coworker said the same exact thing. *am suspicious of all you mens* Be well,

Hey you…it’s high time for an update!

There’s not a scuff because they just came from zappos.com on Wednesday. In fact, I’ve only tried the right shoe on! I hate getting new tennies dirty & it’s too rainy & muddy right now. It would break my love filled heart right now. I will just bounce around in them around the house praying for sun.

RYN: I just heard two soft thuds as your nuts fell off.

I’ll be in your state next month. I’m going to St. Louis to visit the diarist formerly known as ‘elsie’. Any suggestions for the great city?

ry snakefilled pit n: once again – you have found a way to bring much needed levity to an otherwise unpleasant situation. Thank you.

ryn: no more like A-T-A

ryn: people are speculating that it’s Gamera, Chutulu, Godzilla and… crap, something else that starts with an R. i’m hoping that it’s something no one’s heard of. Except actually I really don’t care what monster it is. I’ve never been a big monster movie girl and I have full faith that JJ can make anything – godzilla, gamera, whatever – completely worth watching.

Tomorrow it will officially be a YEAR I’ve been waiting for an entry. I DEMAND an entry damn it! DEMAND it, you hear me! You’re probably married with kids and we don’t even know, or gone over to the other side, or god knows what!!! Don’t let my demented imagination run away with me man!

ryn: it’s an all-men’s magazine – just a men’s retail mag.

I say go for it. As long as he gives you the green flag… then why not?

Hmm. what a coincidence.

RYN: Would you believe I totally hadn’t thought of that? It’s very, VERY likely as there has recently been several kids in town who have it. Hm. Oh well, right? We all have to get them some time! Be well,

Over a year now… cough something up or the resulting bad juju will hand the AFC West to the Chargers.

Good lord. I came here to commend you on your latest note on J2’s diary, but then got overwhelmed by the massive amount of notes on this entry. You’re good, you.

Sorry about your dad.. *hugs* And by the way, you’re accumulating a fan base via your comment on J2’s entry.

You wrote on J2’s entry: As primal beings, we aren’t supposed to fly in planes or drive automobiles. You still scold your dog when he shits on the kitchen floor, right? It’s called evolution. You can’t handle the responsibility, you don’t get married! Man, you stole my words. Then I come here and understand what you write about the ‘EX’. Anyways, I feel like a vampire and I think people are thinking the same way about me. Consider yourself ‘hunted’.

I don’t think you are an idiot for getting involved with a buddy’s ex. I mean, he even gave you the go-ahead. and also, thanks for your note. I appreciate it.

ryn: i was counting falsehoods, not truths.

The details are simple enough. Puppies with parvo and kittens with distemper. Lack of staff, educated, dedicated or otherwise. 4 of us running it on top of working our regular jobs. A completely unhelpful community after they said they would if we did it. Being put in front of a fast moving train because no one else would do it.

RYN: You shaddup or I’ll put a frog in your pants. Be well,

ryn: Actually, I specifically asked for them in B/W. I think they have a more “timeless” feel that way. Color photos are nice, but not what I wanted for this… 🙂

ryn: what about me?

RYN Are you KIDDING? I think it’s AWESOME. If he saw what *I* used to look like maybe HE’D feel duped. lol I think it’s BADASS that he is so comfortable with himself and confident even when he wasn’t always so damn hot.

*Drags a spring board and cozy couch into your living room* Okay…let’s do this!! *grin*

ryn: dammit that is FUNNY!. I wish I had thought of that. I’d be dead nwo, but that may have been worth it

But I don’t want them both! That note was SUPPOSED to be telling CG he’s great but I am involved with someone else.

ryn: He does NOT!! Actually, he looks just like me… well, more like my dad… 🙂

Actually the Hunt family has a monsterously huge house in the neighborhood where I grew up (my house would have been on the utha side of the tracks) and my parents do earn some money from Hunt Oil. And I do drive by the in progress Hunt Oil headquarters every damn day on my way home from work. But I’m I ain’t gettin’ my ass shot for rootin’ for some team in red. Hell to the no!

ryn: I wouldn’t mind working as a biologist again- taking samples in the field and then compiling data and reports back at the office. I also would like to teach but probably on a part time basis. I have no great passion for either though which makes this easier, but both jobs pay a lot more than i’m making now working crappy temp jobs.

I would be an engineer or dietician. Both of which require another degree offered only at schools far away from here. I also had an idea for a home based business- sort of like catering but for regular dinners for families. But I have no money or car to start something like that up.

by the way, have you quit writing? are you married with kids now or something? how have you been???

ACTYN: I think you can read music better than I. In fact, you proved your worthiness by correcting me linguistically. BTW. The above acronym = Au-Contraire To Your Note. touche.

btw: don’t think that irony was lost on me. lol

*Hugs*

RYN: I diiiiid, hehe. I was SO tempted by the chaps.. I don’t know if I’m making the right decision?! Ah, it’s hard being a woman! *laughs* I’ll just have to find a man who’s rich enough to buy me both 😉

RYN: No shit, huh? I guess it is a good thing I had him circumscised or else they probably would have done that, too.

Where ARE you?

I think it’s great! I LOVE ALL FLASHLIGHTS I’VE MET! And holy SHIT! It got a note out of you!

RYN: when did I ever tell you my age anyway?

Do you ever write here anymore? Or are they private and I’m not privy?

The women of OD miss you! 😉 Be well,

You too, darlin. You are The Original. When are you coming to see me and Sophie? She’s still here too. What a diva, holy hannah! (Both of us, I mean.) 🙂 Anyway…hope you are feeling good & doing fine. xoxoxoxo

RYN: No. he’s an ass, but he isn’t ‘unfit’. Aside from that, he’s more present as a father than the majority of dads, married or otherwise. I don’t like him much… but he is their dad. Unless he were physically abusing them, or putting them in danger or neglecting them, I would not keep him from his children.

RYN: true, true. Ah, the lessons I’ve learned over the past year. Seems like your past sage advice has finally sunk in. : )

RYN: Thank you. Thank you for your words and insight. They mean a lot to me, more than I am capable of expressing right now. Be well.

ryn: no way i expected him to “get over it.” be an adult, yes. no reason to exclude me from his life – i was a good friend to him, we had great times together – not dated-related. i wouldn’t have deleted him and ignored him…that’s just immature. i didn’t do anything to warrant the behavoir he’s had. sure, he should pull away and take time for himself…i get that (as my entry said). but tobe a dick? not cool in my book.

PLUS…we were only dating…not even boyfriend/girlfriend. the guy is over 30…grow up.

i won’t dump you ya schmuck.

You know, the thought of whether I’ll look Islamic in pictures has not once crossed my mind yet now that’s all I’ll see when I look at that picture. Nope, won’t see the “OMG, it’s so fucking cold at this damn Cowboys game” look. Nope. I’ll only see myself as a terrorist. Merry Christmas to you too! 😛 Btw, can you write a friggin entry so I don’t have to note down in Mexico?

Did not lowball…AND, they’re legally obligated to respond in writing in some way–even if it’s a rejection. He’s refusing to do that.

Well that’ll only shove the stick that’s up her ass further in. still noting in Mexico… entry? ever?

RYN: Listen you, just because Christmas is over doesn’t mean you get to start over on naughty vs. nice! What scares me is that it’s probably been done! Be well,

RYN – He’s doing great. He won’t need radiations or chemo for now! There’s this new hormonal treatment that seems to be very successful with his type of cancer (and has no side effects). They are going to evaluate him again in a couple of months. Keep your fingers crossed! Thank you for asking, Duke. You know I love you.

I’m glad I can be a source of your amusement. Never saw Pan’s Labyrinth. Was iffy on it before but The Orphanage makes me want to see it for sure, but I’ve never seen The Godfather (shock & horror!) so that’s up next on my netflix. Pan will have to wait.

RYN: LMAO. Stop! You’ll make me drunk in the spirit!

RYN: Yup! That was me! Hope you’re having a good 2008 so far!

Stefani and I tried drinking every time we heard “America,” “terrorist” and some other word while watching the movie. We quickly gave up.

Holy crap!

RYN: Personally? I think he’s in for the ass beating of a lifetime. Be well,

RYN: Did you actually read my entry? I said I wasn’t going to post ‘caveat emptor” on my POF profile.

btw, I don’t see how something personal can be “pretentious”. How ’bout you leave a note after you’ve had a cup of coffee and come back in a good mood.

I prefer hardwoods myself.

It’s always so weird to me to see notes from you on my page anymore… not bad, just weird. You should do it more, you know? **smile** As for the distance thing, I know. That’s why I’m trying to be patient… If it was like this with him living here, then I would be running by now, but the distance does add some weight. Altho, I have to keep in mind that with him being Army, distance is going to be a recurring thing with us.

RYN: I did see that link! Do I need all the extras that come with it though? I mean sure, $6 and change but if the extras listed below are needed it adds up? Be well,

r: nope, not faves only. just don’t write much. cloverfield: i really really loved it .going to see it again with my dad. you? did you like it?

Hey would it be possible to get added to your fav list? I really want to read the entry you wrote about mp3 players. ‘m one of cinderella’s fav’s…she would vouch for me 🙂

I saw the note you left on Cinderella’s entry, and I, too, would like to know where to get an MP3 player for six fiddy. Thank you.

ryn: that was a bit of a cop out note.

I left out one part: serving them in Agent Provocateur

RYN: Thanks!!!

Not unless you write an entry. But I find it hard to believe you aren’t writing. Either you have a major case of the block OR you’re cheating on us, i.e., me. And I can’t have a Valentine that cheats on me, can I?

Kill for them? Eh. Pay for them? She did.

i’m on pills .. they keep changing then none seem to be working

RYN: I wish I could go there for a night; but it’s a gentleman’s club, ie. men only I’m afraid. All I’ll do is write an email (send some saucy modelling pics, hehe) and phone them up asking for details/some questions (I have lots!) I haven’t abandoned ‘wildchief’ as such, I’m just taking a break – I kind of reached the stage where I lost my will to write so much x

Well, then it was just meant to be.

ryn: I know, I can’t believe he did it to himself. No meds for pain or anything, of course I think he drank himself into a drunken stupor following his “operation” but I don’t blame him for that!

The point was neither her proximity to Hillary nor the blatantly racist aspect of her statements. It was that in this year when it should be a complete gimme for whoever the Dem nominee is to win, that they are collectively trying their damndest to f0ck up. As a senior stateswoman of the party, GF should have known better than to make such a statement regardless of whether it has any basis in validity. And she isn’t doing herself or Hillary or her party any favors by continuing to try and defend herself. She should just say “it was a stupid thing to say” and go away. This has nothing to do with McCain at all.

Oh well. I already have a front row seat in hell waiting on me because of many, many other things. I doubt the beef and wine are gonna make a dent.

ryn: lol, she was too paranoid about swallowing it! So, instead she ended up swallowing her tooth instead of having something in there to keep her open that there is NO way she could have swallowed. She actually wanted to hold the doc’s hands on the pliers as he pulled! We had out a reg adult bite block and a pediatric one but she wouldn’t let us use either of them.

Next time you & your friends are hanging out in the Missouri Valley Special Collections part of the KC Public Library, I’ll let you photocopy 5 pages from 2 books for me. I think there is a road block because his wife died before they had kids. Willie hopes that he remarried & had kids but given this dude’s story, I doubt it. I think he too had a bachelor manifesto, minus the manifesto.

You are such a nerd.

ryn: We spent $1500 apiece on the platinum package. That included our hotel for three nights, Midday Madness tickets, Hall of Fame tickets, two-day passes to Universal Studios, and of course, it guaranteed us ringside seats at the show. The price for just the ringside ticket was $750. Totally worth it. 🙂

I was sitting here gaping at the number of notes you have received for this entry, then I realized it’s over a year and a half old. Why don’t you write more? *groan* That picture of me is NASTY. But hey…they asked for unflattering.

RYN: You’re alive! 😉 Good to see you’re still around. How ya doing?

Uh! What a pahty poopah! I think the headset is fun.

RYN: I think that was the nicest note you’ve ever left me. Okay, well, besides the one where you told me I looked hot, but whatever. I wonder how you’re doing. Married yet? I’m coming to KC sometime soon….

RYN: I’ll update my interests when you update your diary =P

RYN: Of course…going back to re-read…

lol You jerk!

RYN: Say what you want, I know you have a man-crush on me.

RYN: Rome is… it’s okay. But you’re right. Huge gaps in time and it felt arch and over the top. They completely glossed over Caesar and Cleopatra. I think they tried to do too much and didn’t let the storylines & characters breathe as a result. Friday Night Lights, on the otherhand, is masterful. It’s an AMAZING show. I can’t get over how good it is and how compelling the characters are. You feel everything they’re going through… and it’s *just* football, but of course, it’s not – it’s about love, security, community. The stakes feel higher for them to win a game than it ever did for Caesar to conquer Gaul or rule over Rome. And that, in the end, was the biggest problem with Rome. I never felt like anyone (other than Titus Pullo or Veronus) had anything real to lose.
