  1. When I'm in work mode, I get all the space I need from folks on the street. I haven't noticed any difference from SF to LA. I can guarandamntee you that NorCal folks are WAY more considerate of people driving motorcycles. I've spent plenty of time on my scooter in both areas, and SoCal folks are just aggressively rude to motorcycle riders while they are lane-splitting. They pull towards the lane divider to make it near impossible to get through. In NorCal, just about in any area of the greater Bay Area, folks pull out to the other lane divider to make plenty of room for bikes. More often than not as you pull closer to cars, they make room. It seemed just as often in LA and environs they shrink the split just to be rude. Every motorcycle is one less car.
  2. This is my only complaint about my wings...is that I am 6'1"'s tall and have to kinda bend my arm all funky like to get my main handle..but I've figured it out now....just wish I knew about the EXT before..I'd of waited.... Medic, I doubt it. The EXT is cool, but the largest reserve it will hold is a 126, and it's sized for largest main at 135. Heather, correct me if I'm wrong.
  3. During the hour drive back they will change their mind, Pre. Just stick with the free beer and backrub thing. It's as good as it will ever, ever get.
  4. Arent't they old enough that they fall asleep early enough that you can claim that they are your help?
  5. Wait. I'm looking up your profile thinking your are in Georgia, and you're in Long Beach?!!! OK, you're on. We go to Disneyland once a year, I'll warn you next time!
  6. Tell them about the fireplace and then tell them you'll make them a hot chocolate after you rub their shoulders and how hard it is making it as a single woman nowadays. Trust me Muenkey. They'll see the fireplace, the rest is up to you.
  7. Jeannie, that's just wrong. If I was back in my old job, and you were being a pest, I would have shown up all bullet-proof and badass and seen you and regretted eating such a big lunch, cause kicking your ass would take a serious effort even on my part. And I am an effective asskicker. You in an 3/4 ton truck and all pissed-off means I would have just taken the 870 out and shot you. He did ok just getting mad. XO JP
  8. Dude. My girls are 7. It's real to them. Just pretend the chick is really, really drunk. It'll be like she's 7. But bigger and kind of fat. She'll dig it. Trust me. And she'll be really impressed by you frenching in a huge television above the fireplace. Really.
  9. OK gorgeous. The company doing the research was Nichols Research, and once they determine your demographic, they will be all over you. You're just not a 40 year old white man with two children who (used to) makes $100,000 per year. Everybody wants you to like their food when you are who they think I am.
  10. Come to me, Michele, come to papa. I have converted a couple of COE folks, come to papa. The uniforms are cool. XO JP
  11. I am the inoculator. Come. Kiss me. (Just little kisses. I have 7 year old twins, I can innoculate anybody) But schoolteachers have the hardiest immune systems of anybody!
  12. You poor thing. Like I said, some goofus was undoubtedly loggin on to porn, and rather than punish folks on a incident by incident basis, some lazy ass administrator comes out with this blanket policy. We'll miss you too. But,....we'll see you in just over a month in person! Wahoo!
  13. Well, my tastes are pretty simple; two of my most favorite foods are a bacon-wrapped filet, and chicken Kiev. The best serving of food I ever had was a big plate of carpaccio in Rome. The best cup of chocolate I ever had was in a little place in Venice. This Starbucks stuff is really good. And I don't think kids will like it, which I like a lot, cause I don't want my kids to get in the habit of sucking back hot chocolate that costs $2.65. It had me thinking of European chocolate, but I'm sure lots of Europeans will be mortified that a gigantic US conglomerate has come up with something so good that's mass produced. Who knows, it may suck when it hits the stores, but the chicks at the focus group were very much digging it.
  14. That's one of those Aragorn kinda fairies. Nothing Tinkerbell about him. Edit: Wait, is it Legolas I'm thiking about, yeah, I think it is.
  15. Asparagus? Yeah, I've been told that's rude.
  16. Then Michele, when you have one of these you might actually be sated. I took a nap this afternoon (a benefit of being grossly underemployed) and when I woke up I smelled like chocolate. You know, like when you eat a ton of garlic you wake up and you smell like garlic? Brutal. But I kind of figured it would generate more interest out of the ladies than guys. Every office I've ever worked in, it was the ladies who were really keen about good chocolate. It's supposed to go for $2.65 for a 6 oz serving. I thought it seemed kind of expensive, but they will probably give the first serving for free. Like any good pusher.
  17. If you bring the court order to her house at 3 PM and she refuses to release your daughter to you, you call the cops and they will perform a "civil standby" while the court's order is enforced. A truly miserable way to spend a holiday, but if you can keep your cool through it, not a bad way to open negotiations to something better. I had some good counsel once. Ask yourself the question "what do I want?". If the answer is "to see my daughter at 3 on every holiday, take my first suggestion. If what you want is to get along with your ex during your daughter's childhood, you'll have to try something else. Most courts will refer to a mediator who will keep everybody on topic and civil to one another while a compromise is reached.

    Sorry, sweetie. Ya shoulda ordered from the right pusher. Bah.
  19. Nah, those Netherlanders (probably wrong, my Euro-references always are wrong) learn English with an American accent. I had no idea Iwan spoke English as a second language until he dropped that he had a Belgian parachuting license. He sounded kinda like he was from Pennsylvania. But you, Andrea, are easily identified as a flower of the South.
  20. Seriously. I'm tasting this stuff and I'm thinking of all my choc-o-holic buds, Like my Mrs, and B-Squared, and the Leeses, and Skymama, and I'm thinking: "This stuff could get me out of ANYTHING"
  21. THey had it down to two versions, and I liked the one that was a little less sweet. Probably have it out for the holiday shopping season, which is starting. Just awesome stuff. I avoid sugar pretty hard, but that little treat would be the bomb after a late movie.

    Next week.

    It'll arrive tomorrow. You'll have it for next weekend. Who's yo pusher? Whoa! What about me? Go pull strings and stuff and find out when MY suit is gonna get here! (grumble-DAMN, me and Lisa used to be tight )
  23. OK, I just got back from a focus group. This one was done by Starbucks for a new product they've got coming out called "liquid chocolate". Oh my freaking godallmighty. It is a hot chocolate product and is distilled chocolate perfection. Like 6 ounces of the best chocolate decadence cake you have ever eaten, but in a hot, creamy, delicious beverage. Having grown up in a house full of women, and then having gone and created another one, I understand the soothing, healing power that chocolate has upon women from time to time. This "liquid chocolate" stuff could bring about peace in our time. Fellas, when your lady is all impossible to figure out, you bring her one of these and a single rose and it may not be all fixed, but it will get you through to a time when it is. And I got paid for the experience. Noice!
