Let me explain to you a little something about love as I see it, Thurgreed. It might even help you to interact with your significant other in a manner that gives her a disincentive to telling you about all the men who are hitting on her in a desparate attempt to get some attention from you. When you care deeply about someone, you do not dismiss their interests/passions/obsessions. You nurture them, support them and embrace them as part of the person. That does not mean you have to adopt them as your own, but you should react positively to them, unless of course his or her interest would be "acting in a way that makes him or her appear available in a cry for attention, then acting shocked when someone acts on it, and then going home and telling one's other half about in in an effort once again to get attention." That, you should discourage. Just my advice. Take it for what it's worth.

Ha. I will. It's worth roughly, nathan.

I think it is just hilarious that someone who posts the stupidest questions about every minor detail of their relationship has advice for me on the subject. Especially when you spend so much time here begging people to tell you that what you're doing w/r/t your dumbass lunchbox-collecting boyfriend is okay.

Let me explain something to you, since you don't get it and I'm very sure you probably never will. I tell my gf to tell me about when she gets hit on because the stories are usually so funny that we have a good laugh about them. I do the same with her. I shared one with the board because I thought it would be funny. It wasn't some statement on my relationship. You can't see that because you're constantly trying to reinforce to yourself just how much you love some idiot who collects lunchboxes. That's why you spend so much time looking for them.

If you'd like some follow up reading on today's lesson, you might try "I Love You Ronnie"--Nancy Reagan's publication of Ronald Reagan's love letters to her.

I will. Thanks. Actually, can I borrow yours? I'll just grab it next time I come over. Your man keeps it under the May 1999 edition of Playboy in the big stack, right?

Dumbass.

Penske borrowed mine. He wants to use it while he rereads "Reagan in His Own Hand."

He can shave his legs and read at the same time?

I wonder if Reagan helped with Quayle's book.



These guys aren't leaving Clinton with many title options for his book.

He read it? I just look at the pictures.

You do seem like a caring nurturer. I just thought that you posted relentlessly about lunchboxes for my own personal amusement, but if you seriously devote the amount of time to lunchboxes that your posts would indicate, my guess is that you will break said boyfriend of any interest in them whatsoever at some time in the near future. Sort of like the way a grandma, after latching onto the idea that little Jimmy LOVES chocolate cake makes them for him incessently until at some point in his thirties Jimmy (who now goes by James) lashes out at sweet little grandma with something to the effect of: "Thanks AGAIN grandma for ANOTHER homemade chocolate cake, but I really feel that it is my duty to inform you that I'm allergic to chocolate and I'm more of a banana cream pie guy now. Please cut the damn chocolate cake thing from 25 years ago out already. And by the way, everyone calls me James now."

As far as I can tell, in the world of collecting random shit, Hummels will be next on bf's list. Don't be surprised when he drops the No More Lunchboxes bomb. Good news is I'm sure you'll be able to offload your inventory on eBay to some other lunchbox freak.

Sounds a little close to home?

Now I haven't been following along as much as the rest of you on this topic, but am I wrong thinking collecting lunchboxes is a bit "off" for those other than the former paste eaters? I'm sure I missed something of importance a long time ago.

I'm not sure I really wanted to learn this, but now that I know, I've got to share. Not exactly a Kegel exercise, but still.

[T]he Taoists laid great store in the ability to urinate effectively, not only as a major tool for detoxifying the body but also as a way of stimulating energy flow to the kidneys and sexual glands. Men, for instance, when urinating in the standing position, should, except while drunk - when operating dual systems of balance and aim is obviously trickier - stand on tiptoes to urinate. This stimulates the energy of the bladder meridian, which runs through the vital organs and down the back of each leg, and is said not only to increase kidney energy production and thus stimulate libido levels but also to help prevent or manage prostate cancer.

This explains why I keep seeing SS tip-toeing to the urinal. Before, I thought it was simply a problem of height.

Does the article say anything about whether hovering provides similar benefits for women?

Ralph Wiley, the excellent sports writer and author of Why Black People Tend to Shout, died of heart failure at 52(!!!).

Here's the article from ESPN and his most recent Page 2 article.

He will be missed.

It doesn't explain why you spend so much time lurking around urinals.

Well, it does say this:

"Obviously this method is inadvisable for women, who should simply lift their heels off the ground as high as possible in the sitting position for a slightly milder but equivalent effect."

.. but that can't be coupled with "hovering". Were it so, any woman who could master that manuever wouldn't need to practice it, as no improvements would be necessary.

Slave put me on retainer. I'm investigating disputed time entries.

Really, if you could choose a more sanitary place to spend your idle time, we'd all be the better for it.
