I still cant believe John Bayesdow is gone. We HAVE to find him. I never saw the blond frost. And I apparenlty need to update my death pool ist- can I still do that?

Re Death Pool, I have no issue with you posting 2005 picks on that board. I mean after all, we are only playing for pride this year. If you win, you'll end up with an asterisk by your name due to the late entry (and you obviously can't include anyone who already died this year). If any participants think this would suck, PM me.

No, but I did have some tickets to the filming of his next best selling fitness video that I was gonna sell on Ebay.

Obviously you are not Yale material. If you were, you'd know that this goes without saying.

In fact, you may not even be Penske material. But then again, maybe you are. Who can keep track?

I had to read the last line twice, because my mind played a trick on me. I was disappointed when it did not say what I thought it said.

The old world actress and I parted ways, sweater puppies notwithstanding.

I just went back and read that thread, though. It was funny.

I could post this as anon, but I'm anon anyway, and I figure that everybody will get off on making fun of me. TM, please at least do some good mentor jokes this time. RP, please find good ways to point out how much of a troll I am. That's cool, but I'm also looking for advice, since I'm sure others have dealt with these kinds of situations.

Anyway, I have been dating someone for the past several months, and we are getting a little more serious. Many aspects of the relationship are really great: she's really fun to be around, very intelligent, very attractive, the sex is great, all our friends like each other, etc.

There are a few problems, though: she is very irresponsible about money and still has massive debt from college and grad school (lawyer-style debt, and she doesn't and probably never will make anywhere near enough money to pay it off quickly), she has all kinds of mental illness in her family and all kinds of crazy stuff in her past and she takes a truly impressive amount of (legitimately prescribed) prescription drugs. She also tends to occasionally drink to absolute drunkedness to the point where she gets lost somewhere in a club or a party and I won't see her for hours because she was off somewhere without a concern in the world.

I'm trying to decide whether I should just run from this relationship before it gets any more serious, or stick it out to see where things go. I really enjoy her company and the relationship, and like her as a person, but I'm worried that those things will fade, and I'll be involved with a drunk junkie with a fucked up family history and massive debt.

I'm not really a believer in the abiity to change a person in a relationship, and the brief discussions about the booze, the pills and occasional coke for her own good have NOT been well-received. I like all that fun stuff, too, but you really have to be careful with the latter two to avoid, well, royally fucking up your life, and I'm concerned that she is or will be pretty close to the line.

It's also a little bit selfish, but I can't help but see that, centris paribus, getting involved with her longterm carries with it a six figure price tag because of her debt and low income. I've got enough ways that I am locked into being a Biglaw lawyer; I don't need any more. I guess that is selfish, but it's certainly relevant.

I think staying with her over all these issues would be the textbook defintion of enabling, even if I (probably) love her. So, I think I am out, but I guess I'm looking for thoughts and advice about these sorts of things. Everyone I know has an opinion, but I thought some of the comments here would be more objective and snipey, which is always fun. Enough people around here seem to be separate, divorced, married or whatever that the different perspectives might be useful, I thought. Jokes are fine, too.

Do you think it's more likely than not that you can find someone with all (or most) of her good qualities in such abundance, without the debt, poverty, and addictions? If so, chuck her ass to the curb. It's like any handicap - the person might be otherwise great, but all else being equal, why not find someone without it who's equally great?

But remember, 'trane, I'm the wizened older guy and you're the testosterone laden young pup.

You're the Wade Garret to my Dalton.

Or maybe the Doug Coughlin to my Brian Flanagan?

I don't know anyone who's ever ODed and died from doing blow (although yes, I remember Len Bias, and even where I was when I heard he died).

You should have been out with me in LA with me last Saturday night.

Besides, paigow, Brooklyn is hip. Poor guy probably had a pad in Williamsburg, and used it to impress chicks. Or dudes. Whichever.

(and I don't look like Higgins -- I simply do not.)

(Fuck. Who am I kidding? You're right. I do. But I am still Frank on the inside, Mia. I am.)

My wife and I usually lose each immediately upon entering a party. We see each other all the goddamned time. Why the fuck would we want to hang on each other at a party? Those connected-at-the-hip couples are annoying to talk to. I can't talk about some gross sex shit with a buddy while his wife is hanging on his leg, nor can I have a laugh with some ex-gf about something related to our old realtionship when her bf is groping her. Get over the fact your old lady and I used to fuck, Eugene. Its no biggie.

I know a girl who died while doing a whole lot of coke. They had an open casket at her funeral. Not pretty.

It was raining too hard. All the good blow would have gotten damp.
