I was going to comment on a bunch of ideas in the thread but by the time I got to the bottom I was too distracted by the cups discussion.

Oh, yeah. Good luck Mavs!

Hey all- sorry it took me 2 hours just to read the thread 'cause I can only read in 1 min snippets in between corralling kids:)

Mav- HUGS sweety I am so sorry about the job. I'd suggest you call/visit other retail places to see if they are hiring:)

It may be a southern thing Jonny. We don't really do recipes. All the ones I posted in the recipe thread were best guesses as to how much I used.

oh so wise... mind you if you look around constantly you're in danger of falling off a cliff

OK I have a question. We've been discussing high maintenance women. What would you define as a high maintenance man?

I would define it as a guy who needs lots of attention and reassurance. One who's always calling and is overly jealous and possesive. One who never wants to let you go anywhere by yourself. Also, one who needs you to defer to their opinion and always agree or do what they want.

Mind you he's thoughtful and often does nice things for no reason. Like Monday I was having a bad morning where everything went wrong and he offered to get take out for dinner so I could rest when I got home...
Or buying me the Firefly companions just because:)

Eh, okay. Co-worker is out and I have to cover her desk. I HATE it when she's out. Not only is she the one I like most in our little room (out of five of us) but she's good at her job (the others =not so much). Add to that that she likes to call her clients and they like to call her, means Rugbug, who hates the phone and only calls clients when necessary instead fostering e-mail relationships with most, spend much of the day on the phone. Sad Rugbug, sad.

But, I did have a FANTASTIC riding lesson yesterday. And I figured out why BHAT (big headed annoying teenager) could ride this horse so easily. Her ability to keep horse calm has less to do with her than what she was asking him to do. I'm asking for a notch or two up the food chain and he's delivering it...quickly. Trainer said she keeps him 'dialed down' for some and let's some of us ask for more. Made the competitive beyotch in me feel much better. (I mostly only revel in this because BHAT thinks she's all that).

I've made this offer to Rose and I will to you as well: I can meet you at the airport and either ride with you on MARTA or drive you in my car to the Con (depending on what time of day you are getting in).

Not sure about the Swann house, but the greasy V is probably easier to get to via MARTA, as it's only a block away from a station. I would be glad to help you get around the city some, that won't be a problem (unless it conflicts with the parade or a BDH panel or other scheduled event I already have plans to attend). :)

Morning, Cooler!

Seems things are a mite slow at the cooler lately. We need to ponder something.

Here's something incredibly silly to ponder that Husband & I discussed last night while the power was out:

Would you go 3 months without showering/bathing/using deodorant/perfume for $25,000? For $50,000? For any amount? What about for a full scholarship (guaranteed) for your child to college?

This would assume you'd have to continue your normal day to day routine- going to work (*sigh*), shopping, etc.

Given that I'm unemployed at the moment, and the only time I'm out in public is the daily trip to the gym, I'd probably take up that offer.

I would do it, gladly. I would probably get fired from my waiter job, but otherwise, that's easy money. It would make sure that meetings went quickly too, especially toward the end of the 3 months.

Whew, what a smell that would be though...

I'm European. People gladly pay me money to shower/bathe/use deorderant/perfume more than once every three months.

Well, I'm of European stock and upbringing. I have been fully Americanized into thinking that it is a sin to go out in public unless completely cleansed and mildly scented. But when I'm off work, the time between showers and shaves expands to fit the time alloted...

So Show Me the Money!

That would be tough. Not that I smell pretty all the time, but I'd have a hard time living with myself. My morning shower is more than just getting clean, it is the "time 0" for my day. Everything mentally and emotionally starts after that.

Well, I kind of did that already when my arm was broken. I did use deoderant and took sad pathetic little sponge baths everyday, but they were really sad and pathetic. And I got my hair washed once a week...and I didn't do my regular routine...so maybe I didn't do anything like that.

I guess the answer then becomes maybe. With my life (gym 3-4x/wk, riding 6x/wk, running 2x/wk) I would be very stinky, very quickly. But I suppose there is some point that you just can't get any stinkier. So once the initial level of grossness has been reached and the stink factor has plateaued, it's just about living with your stanky self...and making others live with you. I'm sure I would lose my job, so the money would have to be worth it.

My first thought was hell yeah, but after thinking it out, it would take a nice sum. Enough to get out of debt, make a VERY nice downpayment on a house is CA (and not the crappy 700 sq ft $549,999 on a busy street type like the one next door to me) with some left over for playing and such.

No to the $25,000, no to the $50,000, lol at the full scholarship (that's not even slightly fun). Though I'm sure there is an amount of money that I would do that for. Considering I can work from home with my job. So, I probably wouldn't get fired. I'd just have to avoid my friends for 3 months and not really leave the house at all. Which I could do. I'd just have to be nicely compensated.

I love the smell of NAPALM in the morning.

Something about the stinkiness we achieve. Sure there is the undeniable repulsive component. I mean I have walked into the wake of some folk who have downright caused a gag reflex in me.

But.

Mixed in with all of the bad swirl is something equally undeniable if less understood, which potentially has the ability not only to overcome the revulsion, but actually convert it into a nigh-inexorable attraction. Pheromones, people. In then midst of all that bacterial flatulence you would be carrying around is some good old fashioned aphrodisiac. It might be that instead of getting fired, you might get a promotion or raise as a result, depending on a couple of other factors of course.

I mean come, the Summer of Love came out of the Hippies who were prodigiously unwashed. Think about it. Hot, sweaty love is intense. Could even explain the whole Latin thing. It's always hot down there. (Latin America, not wherever you were thinking, perv.)

Already done it. It ain't so bad when you're outside the wire, but you really realize how bad the stink is the first time you and 16 other guys get back inside a cramped hooch before any of you get a chance to shower.

I might have violated the rules a little, though. Out of neseccity to avoid crotch and swamp rot (lovely names, aren't they?) I made sure that those two areas got at least a small amount of my daily water rations.

Military Ops don't count. I'm talking non military real world, going to the Jimmy Cone on Saturday afternoon (and you thought I never make it up to Damascus!), grocery shopping type of activities.

Husband brought this up last night - being a former Marine and all, he said he'd not have thought twice about it in his 20's but in his 40's...

(Husband was one of those retards who was sent to Panama in the 80's to oust Noriega and they blasted him with Twisted Sister music. Ironic, no?)

So sorry - put aside the military part of you, if possible.

You'd be a big hit there...

And really, with all these cybermones in the air (check out the picture threads-or lack of threads--if you need more proof), I'm kinda wishing I wuz more "athletic" like you. The better to stalk you with.

As to the perception of dirty and/or gutter, as CMH's post demonstrates, even if not included, Smelly is in the nostril of the besniffer. I would gladyl put up with the uber smell of the Browncoat mob just to be in their company, rather than the perfumed a**es of those of high breeding (=pretension) or people of power without accountability.
