Couch 159: Aemilia, a Couch on the Asteroid Belt

i want a new mood on here to pick from. i want one that says "fierce".

You inspired me to change mine! Yee-haw!

Ride ‘em, cowgirl!

(Double entendre.)

C'mon over and play in my yard to all the kids kicked off other forum members' lawns.

I'll even make hot chocolate. But if you want to sled, my yard does not work. The horse pasture is big enough to pull someone on a sled while riding a horse. You have to make sure that if you fall off the sled you don't land in a pile of, shall we say, future fertilizer. A definite downside to,the activity.

<---- heading over to kecanoe's yard to start the shenanigans

Xi is the most awful greek letter there is. I've been trying to write it properly all the time for the past 2.5 years, but I keep failing.

Hi Demunie

How are you doing bcm?

Not too bad. Are you feeling better?

Good - How's your car?

Not really feeling better, I seem to have problems to not loose this world as "my reality" (sounds weird, sorry). I know it is logically, but... Also there are finals upcoming in 3 weeks, T's gone for another 5 days... Meh...

I think i understand the loosing this world as reality i seem to have several 'realities' and get them confused regularly. Good luck in your finals. My car is brilliant though i got grilled by T about it as it is the same make as his, just coincidence that my car was a automatic while all the others were manuals and it got a better mechanical report. I didnt like its shape but now i realise that it has very few blind spots. It still needs a transmission service but other that, fingers crossed it will do me till i am too old to drive. I cant imagine being too old to drive but...

to all you lurkers out there.

We should all get tattoed with a Navajo rabbit!

Herodotus tells us that the Scythians (?) always considered every issue twice: once sober, once drunk.

To sum things up nicely, you need a capital Sigma.

I wondered if i had got it wrong. Thanks!

The extremely cold temperatures here have my two dogs in a conundrum. The long haired of my chosen breed loves the cold and is bouncing around like a lunatic trying to get his short haired companion, who is not as tolerant of the cold, to play. So far a chair and my laptop have fallen victim to long haired dogs attempts to convince short haired dog to chase him in and out of the house. The cats are sleeping on the radiators ignoring all the tomfoolery.

The woman has officially set a retirement date. I had already stopped, but she sent out information. The second one, as far as I know, and despite being older, has not retired nor informed me of any plans.

Hugs. How are you?

Speaking of tattoos, my partner's mother has a tattoo of the simplified Chinese character "female / girl" (女) on her shoulder haha. She asked me if it was correct and it was. I just don't get the point though? It'd be like me getting a "jente" (Norwegian word for girl) tattoo.

I just learned the word “bawse”: “a Bawse is a human being who exudes confidence, turns heads, reaches goals, finds inner strength, gets hurt efficiently and smiles genuinely.”

What do you suppose it means to get hurt efficiently? You bounce right back?

Possible that one responds by knowing one is hurt, takes appropriate time to acknowledge such, takes care of one's own self, and moves on

Looks like it is just you and me, Art, for the shenanigans. Do you want to ride the horse or the sled?

I'll take the sled!

The bawse sounds....annoying as eff all.

Hurt efficiently sounds like someone's built an algorithm somewhere to say that in order to simulate what it means to be human for the bawse, the optimal level of hurt-ness one must feel is x and no more (or it would be inefficient).

(Don't mind me -- I'm in a lousy mood.)

I'm... trying to cope... How are you? how's the country of your partner?
