Poll number one:

No. But, one of my friends carried a truly insane VM on em's cellphone. It's still the stuff of legend and everyone within hearing distance heard it, some often enough that several of the lines are now classics on par with Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories. I've not yet met the sender, but I cannot wait.

Poll number two:

I have been in a few ldrs.

For one, I moved for him. We're still friends and I would still have made the move, even knowing that it ended after a year in the same place. It didn't work because we were too young.

The longest relationship lived several hours away. We saw each other every week, sometimes several days a week because of work-travel schedules.

A couple of other guys I dated I saw less often, but we worked to grab weekends here and there.

From my experience, ldrs work best when both people are extremely busy and travel frequently.

Rice with a little olive oil, some crumbled feta cheese and greek olives is fantastic. What do the Turks have to compare?

You're done.

No more. Seriously.

Or prepare to be flipped.

Is that why you were fasting? Poor RT. Did the reply unclench your stomach?

Dietary research indicates that things like regular exercise and a high daily intake of dietary fiber, for example RICE, are useful to the maintenance of a regular functioning digestive system, i.e. unclenchec stomach, intestines and bowel.

Was in one ldr that ended after we were both in the same place again. In retrospect, we should have broken it off much sooner. Was in another ldr with my wife, before we were married, but we knew that it would be over after a finite period. I know a number of people who have been in successful ldrs, but always because there was an end in sight. I don't know how you do it without an end in sight.

Only if he falls on you.

Impossible. He's toast.

You break up. Or "I broke up." College/post-college with some possibility that we'd end up in the same place reasonably soon. When it became clear her medical school and my law school would not be in the same town, that was that.

On q.1, I wish I'd kept all of the psycho VMs an ex left for me. I doubt, however, she felt badly about leaving them. To the contrary she seemed rather to enjoy it, or at least get something out of it (and this was pre-break up). Of course, it may have been the liquor talking (I juz wanna kith you). I may have one of her last ones since I bought a new answering machine about the same time as we broke up.

Poll:

How many people have left voice messages or e-mails for someone else that could potentially change the entire relationship? Was it a good idea in retrospect?

I had a short term relationship with Woman #1 while living away from home. One night, pretty drunk, I wrote my mom a letter telling her I was in love, with a woman who:
was from A) Philadelphia, B) a runner, C) medium height, D) from ___ college.

I then forgot about the letter. A few weeks later we broke up and i started seeing woman #2 - she was A and B but not C or D.

Anyway, #2 stuck. When we'd see my folks my mom would tell her about the letter I'd written and how she knew I was in love, but she could never find the letter. I couldn't remember the letter ,so I didn't know it was about #1, not #2.

We heard about the letter for a couple of years, then a year or so after we're married, mom finds the letter and gives it to my wife to read. As she's reading it becomes clear that I was "in love" with someone else.

Ultimately, a fun moment, but for a minute there I was sorry I'd written the letter.

I wasn't really thinking about anything but that stupid e-mail all day yesterday. It probably has a lot to do with why I didn't eat anything until 8:00 last night. And it was unbelievable how much his reply made me feel better, even though it wasn't what I was hoping for.

Sorry about that. Just IM me next time.

While I agree with the sentiment expressed here, I find it amusing that em is so moronic as to think that we all don't know within 8 posts (on the high end) each of em's socks. Thus making it much easier once each sock is rightfully moved to the ignore list.

But overall I agree that we all should not be subjected to the need to continue growing the ignore list in this manner.

I think white rice is actually a starch of minimal, if any, nutritional value.

If I told her once, I told her a million times, she should have had those callusses checked.

When you come back to the office, and have to tell the billing attorney how you lost another motion, are you quick to blame the judge?

The way I see it is that if you can't cook as good a meal on an electric stove as a gas stove, then you shouldn't be talking about cooking. It's heat. Cavemen got by for years without a Viking too.

You ever say "Hey, honey, let's try that new Caveman restaurant down the street!"??

When you change the heat level on a gas stove, it changes. When you change the heat level on an electric stove, you need to take the pan to a movie to kill time while waiting for the change to register.

In other words, it's all about control.

No need to ask, I just club her over the head and drag her there. And when eating at home, I just make sure I take the marshmallows out of the fire before they overcook.
