Sounds like a plan! and the price is right! I am kinda surprised this one guy is having a problem with me - we're not exactly friends, but we've always been cool at Starbucks together.

Good night all...got to get to bed because I have to get up early and drive two hours for a five hour meeting (yes, on a Friday

) in which I'm representing my boss. Then two hours back. Bleh. They need a bleh smilie.

Have a good evening!

I was wearing a ladies sweater but maybe they thought I was a guy. idk. I just don't need to get jumped. I gotta find my whistle. and brass knuckles.

A small quote to illustrate the tone:
There are five main vulnerable areas of the male body (four for the female body). Each one is a joy in itself. These vulnerable areas can be poked, squeezed, clapped, kicked, scratched, punctured, slashed, stomped, slapped, lascerated [sic], spindled, folded, mutilated. To do all of these for one attack would be terribly bad taste, of course.

It looks like you can pick it up used at amazon amazingly.

Also the book has sharp edges and can be used for slashing attacks.

This.

I've already been in trouble here over my opinions on gender, but I'll risk saying that in the unlikely event that I go to another T, I'll make sure I get a male T.

morning

May 11, 2012, 07:27 AM

Morning Granite what's on the menu today?

Stopdog- I made a saying up as a teenager , " to each his own flavored snowcone"

Early day, light work load ... Rain on the way . Anyone wanna go mud riding this afternoon ?

May 11, 2012, 07:41 AM

Hello Everyone. Granite-why the frown?
Lola-I'll go anywhere to get away but I'm pretty sure I'm too far away to go mud riding.

Still no new hearing date for husbands work yet. He put in a couple calls yesterday. I'm still packing and cleaning my condo-so I can move out at the end of the month if he isn't back to work. I'm not gonna be able to pay bills. He is already out 3 weeks. Plus my transmission on my car is dying.

T said I could call and talk to her a few minutes today as she will be free between 12 and 1 but I feel like that will make me just miss her more. Don't know. Maybe it will help to talk to her even if for 5 minutes. I'm in a really bad way. Locked myself in my bedroom for most of the day yesterday.

granite1 · May 11, 2012, 08:25 AM

trying i am so sorry you are having to live this.believe me in the past i have been there with my ex and it is so miserable and feels so unending.do you have a plan and a place to go at the end of the month

granite1 · May 11, 2012, 08:36 AM

i just had a bad day yesterday and i have been doing so good with tryying to stay positive but crap it all.

todays breakfast is wheat toast with cheese and tomato and spice of life tea from teavana

Nelliecat · May 11, 2012, 08:57 AM

Hi everyone

Haven't been around for a while - crappy T stuff but I'm back now. Is there room for me to have a little sleep here and then I wouldn't mind a cup of tea

May 11, 2012, 09:01 AM

Welcome Nellie, have a seat plenty of room. I just got an email from T and I will be seeing him now 2 times a week plus a 3rd for couples counseling....OMG, i am gonna be sick of him and he of I.

unaluna · May 11, 2012, 09:06 AM

I found my Good Earth spice tea at Whole Foods yesterday but they only had the black tea version, not an herb tea. Still better than nothing. The 2nd husband served it to me on our first date along with the best tuna salad sandwiches ever, on a hike in the California mountains. Some 30 plus years ago. He's long gone from my life, but the tea stayed!

It's amazing how difference a little sleep makes in my outlook. I've been really low this week and I'd been getting about 3-4 hours sleep each night. Last night, I got 6 hours - 5 of those all in one uninterrupted stretch - and I feel so much better this morning! Plus, the weather's gorgeous today, which helps, too

I'm playing hooky today and heading to a local festival to do some volunteer work with a good friend.

I love tea - it's my hot drink of choice. I really only like black, green and white teas, though. Not a big fan of herbal infusions.

Chopin99 · May 11, 2012, 10:36 AM

Hi folks. I'm in a fairly boring meeting about 100 miles from home. At least they're feeding us. Very pastoral drive through farmland to get here. Sleepy, but in a good mood.

May 11, 2012, 10:39 AM

Hey Chopin, i am waiting for my employees to finish their work so i can in turn let them leave early and i will follow right behind. I cant get motivated to work....

unaluna · May 11, 2012, 10:42 AM

granite, how lovely! I wish I could post pictures! my kitchen cabinets are a medley of mason jars and blond wood berry baskets! something about our messy childhoods made us appreciate ultra beautiful organization?

You're a Good Earth fan, huh? That's perhaps the one kind of tea I don't like (okay, one of the kinds). But maybe it's not the black tea...whatever their original tea is, I have some weird association to it.

Sounds like a lovely first date, though!

likelife · May 11, 2012, 11:06 AM

It is absolutely gorgeous here today. Some day I might actually have to move to San Diego, where people tell me it's like this all the time. Plus, there's the ocean. Win-win.

granite1 · May 11, 2012, 11:15 AM

Wow, that's quite impressive!

Been out for dinner - OMG, I don't think I can actually move from the couch now. Someone will have to roll me off.

May 11, 2012, 02:23 PM

Husband just heard back from the union. His next hearing date is this coming Tuesday at 10:30. The president of the union said he is prepared to take to arbitration if its not resolved on Tuesday.
