Misc. discussion of dating dilemma

This all reminds me of a (single, male) friend in a similar dilemma some years ago.

This guy, a pretty good friend of the Mr.'s and mine, had a big crush on this bitch. Unrequited except to the extent she needed to lead him on to keep him interested and inflating her ego, but she was a total bitch and no one could figure out what he saw in her. Anyhow, it was his birthday, and we were all sitting around in our local bar hanging out and drinking, and he said "it's my birthday." We all said "happy birthday!" and he said "I'm feeling like a spot of dinner; [Bitch], would you like to have dinner with me to celebrate?" He clearly wanted dinner alone with the Bitch, and was clearly figuring that as a birthday boon, she'd be more likely to say yes. (Not inviting the rest of us was actually OK, since everyone knew of his unrequired crush and was aware of the way in which it had fucked his judgment, so no one took it personally.) However, the Bitch immediately said "OK, DebtSlave and Mr. Slave, you have to come too!" Well, the friend gave us that "god dammit! Don't you dare!" look, but the Mr. and I looked at each other and simultaneously thought "dude, you are so going to need us to get your back with this Bitch, and it's your birthday and the idea of this Bitch being mean to you is unacceptable, particularly in your fragile unrequited state" so we said yes.

Anyhow, we were glad we did. We managed to keep the dinner light and cheerful and kept flattering the birthday boy and talking him up in front of the Bitch, and cutting her off when she was getting nasty.

Then the bill came, and there was a missing beat. (I should note that this friend was an utterly penniless novelist who couldn't even afford to buy his own drinks and smokes, but also was too proud to accept obvious charity in terms of food. But he needed to be fed, badly, he was 6 foot 2 and weighed 135 soaking wet.) I was vaguely expecting the Bitch to snag the check, given that it was our friend's birthday and she was the one who invited us, but she didn't (of course). So I grabbed it, and announced that I was treating for his birthday. He said the obligatory "no, no, you can't" and I said "of course I can" and he said "no, no, you bought me dinner last night" (which I had), and I said "but last night wasn't your birthday," and he relented with a really heartbreaking smile that I will always remember, which said "I may be in love with a mean Bitch who just seems to enjoy humiliating me in front of God and everyone, but it is comforting to know I have friends who look out for me."

Fucking bitch not only didn't offer to chip in on his dinner, she let me pay for hers. Fucking bitch.

If you nurse once or twice a day all the way to 12 to 18 months, as more and more pediatricians now recommend, the kid will hit a critical mass at which em's gulping down volumes of milk with each nursing session, even though most nutrition comes from solids at that point.

EIGHTEEN months?! Egad. That's a long time to go without peanut butter and blow.*




*Confidential to IT: don't go calling HR or Mr. Ashcroft. This is a joke, not a suggestion that I personally would be unable to go that long without either substance. In fact, I am only guessing that the latter substance would be harmful for a nursing mother to ingest, because I have only inferred from the context of posts in which the term occurred that "blow" is a nickname for an illicit substance. This inference has never been confirmed. I do not use, have never used, and will never intentionally use the substance that I believe it to be; nor will I ever combine said substance with peanut butter. OK?

"I knew that circus was changed forever. I knew I was seeing a revolution."

Are you fufu come back to inane us all to death?

And whether your answer is yes or no, do you think anyone wants to read the crap you just posted?

"I just love air."

"Oh, me too! It's so good for breathing!"

"Yeah, but sometimes you have to share, like in an elavator or car or something."

"I know! I just hate when people use up my air!"

I think the rest of the board will agree that I'm mostly right when I say that Paigow has a very good point and you need to un-gross your posts or suffer being ignored by the rest of us.

The beds were small as hell. Couldn't help but touch whoever you were sleeping with.

ANd then my brain froze.

Eighteen fucking months?!?! Is there anyone out there that really does this? It's my personal opinion that a child who can climb up on my lap, unbutton my shirt, remove my breast from said shirt and help herself to a little suckle is simply too old to be nursing. Likewise, any child who can ask to be nursed whether the asking be "BooBoo?" or "Mother, please, may I nurse now?" is too old too...

No way I'm going 18 fucking months....even if it would make my boobies smaller.

That's what I thought when Queen Latifah had hers done, but she looks good. And she says she feels great. And that's the last comment on this since we had this discussion a couple of weeks ago and beat that dead horse flat.

And because I can't help it now that I've chosen a stupid obnoxious avatar....

Sept. 16 — Don’t give up on Bennifer, cautions the man who directed the couple when they were supposedly falling in love. Kevin Smith, who has discussed the “great chemistry” the couple has in his forthcoming film “Jersey Girl,” says he’s still giving J. Lo and Ben Affleck their wedding presents. He’s also advising his fans not to believe the reports the couple has already split.
“WEDNESDAY NIGHT, I was up at their place, watching ‘Dirty Pretty Things’ (they’ve got a sweet-*** 35mm theater in their house) and they looked and sounded pretty far from broken up to me. And mind you, that was the day they called off the wedding,” Smith writes on his Web site. “I’m still giving them their wedding gifts. The s**t I got them both is too cool not to give ‘em just because they’re not getting married TODAY (not to mention, the gifts are unreturnable).”
Meanwhile, J. Lo’s sister, Linda Lopez, says she has no hard feelings towards Affleck, although it reportedly was Affleck who put the brakes on the wedding.
Linda, a correspondent for an L.A. TV station, speaking on the Howard Stern show yesterday and said she had “no problem” with her would-be-brother-in-law.

I can fall asleep on my side in I think basically log, though my legs are a little bent because if everything were straight I'd topple over onto my back or my side.

I almost always wake up in freefall though. And if I'm having trouble getting to sleep, lying on my stomach helps.

If I wake up on my back (soldier), which I do occasionally but not lately, I'm nearly always in the middle of a nightmare. But not usually with a war theme or anything.

One week when I was particularly swollen and tender for some reason I wore a sportsbra all the time except in the shower because it minimized the "hurts to move" problem I was having.

Edited to say that like Thurgreed, I generally don't like being touched when trying to sleep although I can tolerate it if quite drunk, which came in handy during college. This has resulted in a fair amount of leaving in the middle of the night/kicking someone out in the middle of the night behavior. The touching thing, and the fact that I'm antisocially psycho.
