Anyone still drinking?
Was I supposed to stop?
Or am I just too slow for the group? Okay, hang on, I’ll see what I have left in the fridge and get back to you with an eta for completion… 😉
I think they’re stuck to the floor at the other lounge.
(Psst. how’s that for intonation dada? 🙂
I’m just starting SN.
Big I Introvert™ ?
Something bad happened at work today — I have to unload. This is a virtual bar right?
What can we do to cheer your up?
What happens here stays here – or something like that. What happened today?
A colleague died yesterday while he was out cycling. He was only 30yoa. His wife is due w/ their first babe in 2 mos!
Everyone was crying and it was just horrible. They’re bringing in grief counsellors tomorrow.
That is heartbreaking! I’m so sorry. That poor young wife having to go through childbirth without him.
I am so so so sorry, Olivia! A tragedy all around.
It’s a grounding experience that’s for sure.
Do me a favor and stay away from bikes, okay.
okay.
How are you doing so far? I can only give you a vitural shoulder to cry on, but if you want it’s there.
It’s was a shock, and I feel so, so badly for his wife. I didn’t work w/ him as I have only been there since Sept, but my coworkers worked w/ him and they were good friends outside of work. It was just one of those really awful life-is-short, hug-your-spouse/kids/cats/dogs/fish etc. moments. And tell them you love them.
Do they think he had an undiscovered heart problem?
That is what they said.
Oh Olivia, this is very sad. Has anyone check in on his wife?
They (org) told us that her family has come to be with her. And they’ve offered any support. But really – I just can’t imagine. He goes out and just never comes back.
Olivia, the same thing happened to a 31-year-old client of mine 2 years ago…everyone loved working with her, and it was so horrible. We had just all been hanging out together for an evening in New Orleans a few days before it happened, too. There were grown men sobbing in the office.
I’m so sorry. His poor wife.
It was the same here today. People were walking around w/ tears rolling down their cheeks. The main receptonist was crying at the front desk.
Sudden deaths are always so hard and when it is someone young I think it is even harder.
Last year one of the guys who had been with my company since nearly the start died while shoveling snow. At first, Mike’s death didn’t seem real and then for a long time no one even wanted to say his name. Eventually we all past that which I think is good because trying not to to talk or think about him that was a little like a second death and enjoying our memories of him and talking about him is a little bit of a rebirth.
That’s awful too Andi. It’s such a hard line to walk around isn’t it, b/c everybody handles it differently — some want to talk, some want to be alone.
I think most people will find their way. Here’s how I’ve come to think about it: death creates a big, dark hole in you and grief is the process of filling in that hole — you never get back what was taken away but the process of filling the hole both gives you a deeper understanding of what you’ve lost and lets you appreciate what you are gaining.
That’s a good way of explaining it.
Oh Olivia, I’m so sorry. What a shock!
It was definitely a shock.
Over the last 10 years I’ve had two people I’ve worked with murdered. You keep thinking the person will show up for work. And each time you think about them you realize you won’t see them again.
Grief is a long process, but I think it is delayed when death is sudden and unexpected. I’m really sorry you and you’re office are going through it.
Yes. It’s hard for all around.
I am so sorry!!! I am sending warm thoughts of Love and Healing to all.
Definitely one of those days where you appreciate all the love and warm fuzzies. Sending back to you too. {{{r69}}}
Olivia we’re all here for you. If you want to talk about it that’s fine. If you don’t, that fine also. If you want you can email anyone of us. What ever makes you comfortable.
Should I drink and create a test?
I’ll drink to that. < hiccup > Excuse me.
Who started drinking without me?
hours ago — don’t you remember?
Must be the reason I woke up under the table.
I thought you were down there looking for George.
Peace
I was afraid to ask.
George woke me up licking beer off my face. That dog just can’t get enough beer.
I read your family has departed — leaving only dirty dishes behind. Did your home dis-improvement move up their timeline?
Or maaaaaybe the leak was intentional!
…but didn’t want to come right out and accuse him — I should remember this is the cafe though. 🙂
Do you think if I was going to have a water leak over a bed it would be mine. If I knew it was going to happen I would have run a hose over their room.
Maybe you should have piled all the dirty dishes your sister in law left onto the bed while it was leaking.
The dirty dishes happened after the leak. I’ve walked through the kitchen a couple of times and told myself tomorrow. I’ll start getting the house straight tomorrow and then the damn lawn has to be done. I miss winter.
FM, do you mow the lawn every day down there?
BooMan, what are you doing slumming with us? I thought you and your bigtime buddies hung around on the front page?
now, where did you get that impression?
Just about. Actually about every 4th or 5th day you have to. I’ve got a neighbor that’s out every 3rd day.
If it was up to me we would concrete it all and make a parking lot.
…you’re not a mean man, so you wouldn’t want to do that to someone else. By doing it to yourself you’ve shown them that things are going to be messy for a bit, you’ll have to sleep on the couch, you won’t have time to cook and clean, etc… 🙂
Yea but they’re gone now and they don’t care if they stay there or not. I’m a little bit of a neat freak, but at night I’m too tired to clean, so I usually get it done in the morning. After 4:00 pm I’m done for the day on cleaning or mowing.
Neat Freak? Are you a Libra?
There can’t be a connection between being a libra and being a neat freak. I am proof of that.
That’s what my “last boyfriend” told me and he was a neat freak to the nth degree. The guy drove me nuts. I thought, hey – a neat freak sounds like just what I need in my life to balance out my … less than organized ways. NOT!
The dude even proposed to me… I just couldn’t handle thinking of living with a guy who sometimes got up after lovemaking to go scrub the bathroom…
ACK!
better the bathroom than himself.
That is a horse of a different color, Booman 🙂
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!
No way. I think I’m the water bearer. Remember the song, This is the dawning of the age of the water bearer.
OK lame joke I know, but I’m tired.
You snuck your freaking birthday by us? How dare you?
And Andi?….what is Libra, October?
I did not sneak it by. There was a big party with hats and cake and streamers. Where were you?
Really!? Sigh. Alzheimers. I should just go to bed, because I completely do not remember that.
some of September and some of October.
ROTFLMAO!!!!! Maybe you should have done that a while back.
You should read Ductape Fatwa’s beautiful account of the immigration march he and his descendants took part in today.
It’s worth the price of admission (ok, there is no admission, but if there were…) to “hear” him say how when he got back, bone-tired, be took a hot bubble bath, I mean a manly sports foam bath…
I’m sorry.
It’s my fault. Totally.
I’m the reason your Senators have lost three straight.
They were doing very well and I started picking them in a hockey pool so I could get my greedy hands on some easy points. Now… I’m not in the running for the top five space anymore. I sat in shock Saturday while, again, the Sens lost.
I thought about not picking them this upcoming Saturday… but I did anyways. Sorry. 🙂
They’re playing right now vs Montréal and they’re losing again.
I know the Bruins are sucking but I still love to see them against the Habs.
Tonight it’s the sharks against the ‘yotes. We get to see Wayne Gretszky scream and have tantrums… ACK.
Wayne is a bit of fuh-reak behind the bench.
I’m trying to decide which would cheer us up more:
A giant glowing pickle
Or
Fatty McButterpants waiting for dinner:
I vote for the pickle.
This is no ordinary pickle. This is the pickle which is lowered at midnight on New Year’s Eve, in Mt. Olive, NC.
so, I imagine this must one pretty large glow-in-the-dark pickle.
I believe it’s 8 feet long, but as you know it’s not always the length that’s important.
Riiight.
Well the pickle seems to have some girth too.
And bumps.
Ah, the Mt. Olive pickle.
I think I told you this before, but I met a guy one time who was a NASCAR driver (a not very good one). His name was Dill. His sponser was Mt. Olive Pickles. True story.
Better than that poor guy who has to drive the Viagra car.
Well, it might be hard to find a guy with an appropriate first name for the Viagra car.
Dill was perfect for a pickle car. Unfortunately he wasn’t very good and didn’t last long in the circuit.
Dick?
LOL!!
Seriously, wasn’t there a driver named Dick Trickle?
I’m not really much of a NASCAR fan, so I don’t know. But that’s a terrible name for anyone to have.
Dick Trickle.
He beat a guy by 8 inches …
Well, he said it was 8 inches, but it was probably more like 4.
You never let them man measure for himself LOL
yeah, I’m sure he exaggerated.
On the other hand, this is probably an understatement:
Did you enjoy that grand slam home run last night? I certainly did.
I had put it out of my mind until you so meanly brought it up. But then, you ARE a cubs fan.
Today was the day for the home opener AND opening of the new stadium. At the end of which Isringhausen once again tried to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, but this time failed.
It’s a long season. Cubs victories at the beginning of the season rarely have meaning by the end.
I am actually very concerned whenever this turns out not to be true — what you guys feel when I stay up late is a minor chord compared to what I feel when the cubs are doing well at the end of the season.
* or thereabouts — that’s my first memories of listening to a cubs game.
I actually went to school with a guy named John Screws. His sister’s name was Sally.
I’m going to change the first name here, but my son went to school with a girl named Susie Nipple. Somewhere back in the Nipple lineage, don’t you think someone would have changed it?
There has to be a driver named bubba LOL
I don’t want a pickle
I just wanna riiiiiiiiide
my
motorcickle.
Fatty McButterPants… the name cracks me up 😀 Kids, too.
are a staple of our undergrad general chem classes.
One of my favorite profs put too much current through one a couple semesters ago, and wound up with an exploding pickle. Later, another of the general chem profs exploded something (I think it was the sodium-in-water-thing) with such force that the fire alarms went off — those of us in other classrooms just heard the explosion, and everyone started the appreciative cheering and applause as we performed the mandatory evacuation.
Random. But fun.
Exploding pickles – oh, the things I missed by not going further than high school.
Well, to be fair, I think the glowing pickle might have been one of the highlights of higher education.
prospective employer: “What exciting and important things did you learn in college, Spit?”
spit: “I learned that if you pump a current through a pickle, it glows orange because of the sodium content!”
prospective employer: “Why, we’re now dying to employ you!”
Been a long day and I finally got the first page of my new web site published. Click on doing my part for the left in my signature to get a look at the begining of my creation.
Oh baby!
ROTFLMAO!!!!! I have seen that movie and play so many times and was actually in a production of it years ago.
Who were you?? I’d love to be Magenta! They have a production of it out here in Portland. It’s the one thing I have yet to do in my life. One of the small reasons I want to slim down. I want to read for it one day. 🙂
I played the noneck bastard. I was the oldest college kid in the play so I got the role. LOL My BF at the time got to play Rocky since he had a body to die for and no lines. LOL
Ahh the Narrator. I’m having brainfarts can’t recall his name. The play rocks. I have the video of the movie… but the movie really sucks however it’s okay if you’re really ripped and the Tim Curry make up is one main reason to watch 🙂
Great creation by the way oh Mr. Busy Texas Activist XOXOXOX
It looks great Refinish. Got it bookmarked.
Thank you!!!!!
The web page looks very good. Are you a HTML whiz kid now?
not even close!!!! LOL You would not believe the cussing and almost crying that went into that simple page.
went outside while you do that — my dogs hate it when I start yelling at the computer.
LOL Bette went under the bedand Reba curled up at my feet. LOL
Looks great so far!
Thank you!!!!!
Coyote hockey game… and they do a Pat Tillman segment. Mike Ricci wears the number of the MURDERED solider. Gave 10K to the Pat Tillman foundation…
I wish they had shown a video of him instead of running around in a football jersey – a family of his family trying to find ANSWERS.
They’d better keep that foundation check away from his “buddies” the Marines… you know what they’d do to it.
THEY’D FUCKING BURN IT. :*(
New lounge open.
