no, no
Nate got me up there for the first time several years ago and we have been co-camp daddies ever since. This year we are both on the fence about going although I think I am leaning more on the yes side than he is. The idea of going up their without him is both frightening and exciting.

GE, after doing years of retail and customer service type jobs I found the best way to deal with assholes is to smile very big and always say "No". As soon as you say yes they feel they can walk on ya and that is where we have to draw the line. ;)

PS A nice whiskey on the rocks for me please.

I work in customer service all day, and take great delight in explaining, very carefully, and very congenially, why the customer is wrong... Makes my day...

Yeah, I'm just no good with customers. Although, I actually do pretty well with the public on phonecalls, now that I'm not behind a counter and I have other duties.

my husband was so mean at lunch. he was making me blush, which i do VERY easily (whether or not i'm remotely humiliated). He even used the 'c' word. I had to kick his ass. Which of course he thought was cuter still. Now he knows that i turn bright red super easily. He's gonna really enjoy tormenting me....

Did you guys see that big box out front? It says "Deliver to the Bar".
I wonder what's inside.

first of all, playa husband. married for ten days, then the wedding officially wore off. it was a bit of a lark. i'm his second playa wife. he has a girlfriend.

secondly, the blushing thing doesn't necessarily correlate to embarrassment. it's just hardwired, i can't fucking help it.

I confess here in the bar that my stupid work annoyance, my lack of being able to cope with this lighting, has me saying fuck far more than normal. Soon I am going to have to get my freak on to make this shit work but, first, I need a double, no, a triple Makers Mark and a beer backer now,,, PLEASE!

But is it as useful as Heli's magic wand at putting together large furnitures?

And Tish? Whatever that contest is, how to I enter?
