You have one minimum wage employee and a current overhead of 23k per month. Raising that one guy's wage by 2 bucks an hour (~$352/month) is going to force you to fire three employees? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

It's currently $7.35 in Washington state. My cost of living ain't bad at all. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Wierd...I have a totally different reaction. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Permission after the fact is better than no permission at all! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Huh? What kind of margarita's you drinking? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

With an avatar like that and a no-nonsense approach to communication, what else would you expect?! "Curious" is good too. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Can you and Ladyskydiver put on a class for other women? Please? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Sure. I'd rather have someone to share it with, but not if they detract from the experience. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I've been watching it since the first episode of the first season. It's now the only regular show I watch. LOL - I finally got my cable hooked up last Tuesday, had been watching rabbit ears with really poor reception before that. So last Monday, after work, I went to a bar. I was talking to this pretty cute blonde that I see in there on occasion, and she's quite the flirt. When I complained that my new TV doesn't take to rabbit ears very well and that my 24 viewing was going to suffer, she mentioned that she has cable, a tv in her bedroom, and a big comfy bed. I laughed it off, then a couple minutes later she asked if I was going to come over...I said "for 24? Absolutely!" She said, "Well if the TV show is why, then don't bother!" and I said "OK, you probably would have talked anyhow." Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Getting slapped with the realities of our sport sucks, especially when it's a friend or loved one. Sorry for the loss you, her other friends, and her family are experiencing. Every time, I wish it was something I could fix, but I can't. Instead of focusing on the fact that a person is no longer walking down the path of life with me, I've found it's easier and more comforting to just be thankful for the time that we did walk together. It's tough to do, especially at first, but it does soothe the pain. You and everyone else who knew her have my condolences. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Either of those sounds good. Where would you go afterwards to wind down? Haven't thought that far ahead, hell, I don't even know if we're still on. An ice cream parlor sounds over the top corny. Given that we drank wine the first two dates, maybe coffee, even though I don't usually drink it at night, (at least not if I want to get any sleep that night). Then again, getting her drunk and letting her take advantage of me doesn't sound like a bad idea either, so maybe a bar. Blues, Dave Edit to add: Hey, this is by far the most replied to thread I've ever posted. Just how many freaking replies does a thread need to get the little flaming icon thing?!! "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Ditto. It makes me feel good when a chick's showing interest in me, but as I just explained in that other thread, my method of chasing is about as simple as telling her I'm interested. Her response will either be "cool", or she'll say "no". Either way, the chase pretty much ends there. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

You're about to get your woman card suspended! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I agree active dates are the way to go, one I like is mini-golf. Lots of chances to "help" eachother out with your swing. This is so funny. I'm supposed to go out with her again tomorrow night, and I've been trying to decide what to do. I'd narrowed it down to a movie (letting her pick between Hotel Rwanda and Million Dollar Baby) or mini-golf.

Need an in-house nurse afterwards? Bummer, why do you need one of those? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I think there's an element of truth to that, but also a bit of a myth. Either way, I think it's wierd. Personally, if a girl doesn't show enough interest to call, etc, I assume she's not interested and move on. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Ouch. But at least it was clear! Actually, it wasn't bad at all. I like brutal honesty and can easily laugh about it. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

What an odd distribution. Anyone have any ideas why the numbers decline to 39 and then spike at 40+? Is it simply liars? Or do most people either have few or lots? (i.e. the 35-39 group would be the very high end of "few", and the 40+ are mostly WAY over 40)? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Not too long ago, I told a friend that I was really attracted to her. Her response was, "Sorry...not now, not ever." LOL Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Since we are taught what the names of the different colors are, how do we know that we all see the same colors? i.e. we both know the dropzone.com logo is predominately blue, but is it possible that we *see* different colors and were just taught that whatever color we're seeing is called "blue"? I'm sure there's some physics involved that would disprove the possibility, but I've never looked it up because this idea gives an excuse to those people who put together horrible looking color combinations.

36, going on 17. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I have, several years ago. She was a little wierd but fun too. When I tried to advance the festivities from oral to sex, she said "Wait...just so you know, when I have sex with someone, I get really emotionally attached. What we've been doing won't trigger it, but that will. Consider yourself warned." I thought about it for 2-3 seconds, laid back down on my back, and said, "You know, this works good too." Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I am a far cry from quiet around my friends...boisterous is an understatement in that regard, and I have no qualms about "crossing the line" in that setting. But in this kind of situation, acting out seems kind of inappropriate, and I don't know what a complete stranger will be offended by, so I end up acting pretty reserved. I don't think I have a problem disclosing things...I'm one of the most open people I've ever met and will give just about anyone an honest answer to any question they ask. My problem is a) getting her to ask questions and b) thinking of what questions to ask her/getting her to open up, so that I develop a feel for what's cool and what's not.
