Sparkletarte.....I don't have mine either, but did just get the confirmation email that they had been sent about two days ago or so.

I did will call so I do not have to worry about the mail system. I need to start working on designs for camp structures now. As much as I don't like Home Despot I love living so close to them.

If there is Jameson left, I'll have some, but not at the expense of depriving anyone else.... anything, please...

BTW, does anyone remember Golden Grain beer? It came out of L.A. and we used to say it was made from the Sky Blue waters of the LA River. Warm, flat, anything was better than cold Golden Grain... but at $.99 a sixer, who could complain?
ok, you're older than i thought.
What does the cheapest beer in the world go for right now?

$1.29 a barrel. Mostly used as snail beer.

Dang it, they can't fire you--not after all those nice things they said last month. They have to find cause. Or be so annoying that you actually decide quit.

My advice, sit tight. If they really want to decimate the ranks faster than attrician they'll offer another buy out.

I bet you have a hellivalot of good talents. I've heard about you. Are you sure you don't know the way to San Jose?

We're putting in a dark back aquarium for all your non-blinking fun.

the burn is hard on couples

I did not find this to be the case but then the boundaries I have with my wife are fairly unambiguos. The hardest part was when she decided she hated burning man after the second trip and I decided burning man was helping me to achieve a personal renaissance. The imbalance causes some minor annoyances. This is compounded by the fact that our mutual best friend, Nate, is my project partner and the guy who dragged me up there in the first place. As such there is a little too much burning man talk for Laura's taste when we all get together.

but fucking cheers to Nate, whom Rian and Velvet have met, for getting mylazy ass to the desert!

I believe you mean "non-blinking, pugalistic fun."

I think that the only way to go to BRC with a lover/boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse/etc. is to have completely honest and blunt talks about boundaries...

period.

(and smooch him for me, would you?)

Stuart, how're you doing today?

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Fri Jan 21, 2005 12:30 pm

Well Stu, you missed it! I came in for a Butt Smacking and couldn't find you!
Maybe later?! *winks*

I have to run and get groceries before we get snowed in over the weekend.

sparkletarte · Post by **sparkletarte** » Fri Jan 21, 2005 12:43 pm

I know you've all been concerned about my tickets, so I'll let you know that I just got an email today saying they've been shipped.

I went with my hon last year for the first time, and while we had some fighting on the trip down, and a fight immediately upon leaving, our time at BM was smooth and has been since. We didn't really spend a huge amount of time together while we were there, and we are quite fine with that in our daily lives too. I agree that you have to talk about boundaries, but I think that should be happening whether you go to BM or not. If I went by myself, I'd bet that would cause more issues than if I went with the boy. At least when he's there, he knows what's going on. And really, although it's fun it's still stressful in many ways, so just like any major stressor in life, it can bring you closer or not.

So stuart does that mean nate has convinced you to go then? Good job, give him a kiss for me! (looks like he'll be covered in eplaya kisses)

stuart · Post by **stuart** » Fri Jan 21, 2005 12:44 pm

I'm doing well thanksand you?

I'll happily smack yer ass

sparkletarte · Post by **sparkletarte** » Fri Jan 21, 2005 12:45 pm

Oh, I see a couple of you did reply to that...thanks! So many other people said there's had some I was starting to wonder....

I might have to get drunk on red wine tonight.
