Yep, we're all here. *passes a bottle of syrup to go with May's offering* There's nothing bad for you in it, it's cyber-syrup...hm...cyber-syrup...co-ed board...not exactly Sabbath-friendly thoughts, but I blew keeping it holy HOURS ago.

Re: attention girls: embrace your innerds.
Thanks guys, I'm feeling better.
I just had this lousy week where I was stood up for appointments on twelve different occasions. Twelve in one week! And these are people that have been very decent and professional in the past, so it was unexpected.
I wasted so much time last week because of it and got essentially nothing done. And I also ruined a lot of social appointments and pissed people off because I kept trying to switch my schedule around for these people and it amounted to nothing. So it was a bad week both professionally and in my personal life, and I feel like I failed a lot of people by being so unproductive and unavailable.

Re: attention girls: embrace your innerds.
That's rough, Kestra. I really feel like the common courtesies are not so common these days. With practically everyone armed with a cell phone, one would think that people would be better able to cancel/reschedule an appointment if they aren't going to be able to be on time.
You are a good person to try to accommodate these people. I hope this week is better for you.

Re: attention girls: embrace your innerds.
That is a record! Did they say what happened? That's just unreal!
----
Speaking of unreal records, I may have just had the wierdest potential fix-up of all time.
A dear friend of mine was on leave from Iraq and managed to make it down to Nashville for a day (last minute). He unfortunately had to start divorce proceedings during his leave, because of some things he found out when he got back that he thought were fixed from where he almost got divorced a few months ago.
Here's the odd part. His soon-to-be ex-wife and I were playing phone tag where she was trying to check on him to make sure he got here okay. During one message that she left, she tried to fix me up with him!!?!? Say what!?!?! Their divorce isn't even final (or close to it)!!!
I guess she still wants him to be happy, but that was just an uber-strange situation. Of course I'm going to say no. I don't feel that way about him. It was just odd, though.
I needed to vent that, because I certainly can't tell him or go blabbing it around "the real world."

I think I'll do some weeding and some shopping today. We finally got a TJ Maxx in my area!

Re: attention girls: embrace your innerds.
I'm trying to get out and do stuff that doesn't involve shopping. I've got a writer's group, a book club and a movie buff group to go to this weekend.
Will it distract the Bunny from shopping? Stay tuned.

Re: attention girls: embrace your innerds.
Well, just because it isn't legally final, doesn't mean that hasn't been over, in her mind, for a long time.
I think you're right - she just wants him to be happy. But, I wouldn't worry too much, or think that it's weird behavior for her. There may be a little guilt in there, and she knows you guys are friends. That's nice that she's look out for him. Don't get spooked by it, though. Obviously, the relationship was over for her ages ago, so she feels comfortable about it.
On the flip side - maybe that was an issue in their relationship? His friendship with you? Although there wasn't anything for her to worry about, maybe she had issues with trust and with her ex-husband being friends with any women. So, maybe this was her way of letting herself accept that, if there is a chance for a relationship between her ex-husband and you, she's mentally prepared herself for that.

Re: attention girls: embrace your innerds.
Well, it's that time of year again - Toresica wants fashion advice!
a) I painted my nails today. When they get scuffed up (which will happen soon, I bite my nails), should I take the polish off right away, or just walk around with scuffed nail polish? (And is there a better word for it then scuffed?)
b) Is it a bad idea to wear two slightly different shades of brown? (or any other colour)
c) Will anybody notice if my socks don't match my trousers?

Re: attention girls: embrace your innerds.
I'll try to tackle C. Are you wearing athletic socks with dress trousers? Probably not.
So, frankly, in this day and age, if anyone notices, which I highly doubt, they won't give it a second thought.
Oh, and on A. I bite my nails, too. I just don't paint my finger nails because I don't have the time to remove the polish after I chip it because my nails are too long (for me) and are driving me nuts.

I bought some of that Maybelline mousse blush and some self tanner from Dove today. That stuff smells good. :thumbsup:

Re: attention girls: embrace your innerds.
I've actually been in a very similar situation. A woman set me up with her ex-husband, whom she knew liked me. I think Alpinemaps is right on the money about her wanting your friend to be happy, and I think she's trying to get him to move on (possibly to assuage some of her own guilt?).
Do what feels right to you, but a word of caution if you do decide to go out with the guy--unless he takes initiative to ask you out and date you, he's probably not over his soon to be ex. That will cause problems in any relationship, casual or otherwise.

Re: attention girls: embrace your innerds.
i'd say it depends on how scuffed it is. if it's just little spots, then eh. if you're losing giant chunks, it's time to remove and/or redo.
i'm going to assume you're talking about fingernails.

why are they looking at your ankles anyway?
Re: attention girls: embrace your innerds.
Re: B: Sure, as long as the shoes go, nothing is adding too much contrast or too many conflicting details, and you're not wearing too many different things (i.e. red with two different shades of blue runs the risk of being odd, or three very different shades of green together would look like you mugged an elf and stretched his clothes to fit you).
Re: The guy who's ex-wife tried to set me up with him: Oh, don't worry. There's no risk of me actually going out with him at the end of his deployment. I don't think she knows this, but he's my ex-boyfriend from over five years ago. I broke up with him because I only loved him platonically. I'm not in any rush to make the same mistake twice.
Maybe I'm just being old-fashioned, but the sanctity of marriage actually means something to me.

Eh, not old fashion
That's why I'm not going to get married.

Re: attention girls: embrace your innerds.
I've started avoiding solid color on my hands since as a programmer the nails get some abuse. I'm now getting "American" manicures which are similar to French but less obvious. I also put a clear coat over it every night (or when I think of it) to make it last longer.
