OK, so I've been gone for ever and I post about weight loss.
What has happened is that when I came home from Iran, my dad was seriously ill, and during summer and autumn he faded away and died. I knew already, and I think I even posted here it was going to happen. But it is too much.
So heya Dawntreader and Trogdor, I don't know how you both are feeling but I think we all feel how it is to live with dying. It sucks all over. Nothing nice to say.
Anyways, it is good to see everyone still here. I'm slowly, slowly catching up with friends, here too


All you can say is WHAT happened. You do not know why. You will never know why.

Wasn't there some jacuzzi time booked for the New Orleans meat?

I'm moving to the Gaiman boards if this turns into a swinger forum.

That's a lie, but I said it with a smile.

Please. Don't equate my grief to folks here who have lost family or friends. Do I wish the guy wasn't dead? Sure. But he was running a crew. Not gonna discuss my feelings about that but they're not good.

I am trying to plan a vday weekend myself. Sunday we both work, she is shooter girl for the sold old Flogging Molly show and I am working at the Library.

How fukcing unfair is that? She is slinging booze and looking hot while listening to a band I don't love but wouldn't mind seeing FREE and I get all the rejects that couldn't get a fucking date asking me if they can check out a laptop.

Anyway I am going to try and get together an in-town vacation. Hotel, jacuzzi tub, in Ybor city. Walk to either Italian or sushi, her choice, then a long party which I hope will end in additional charges to my credit card for damage to the hotel room.

Fun damage, no fire. I am thinking broken tub rails and bed frame induced holes in the drywall.


You and your girl's rail fetish. Back again.

Edit, that headbolt's titanium.

Split pulled it from an Alfa sub with his own teeth.

It´s odd when you think about it. Over the years, the WGB has discussed pretty much everything except sexual preferences, experiences and peccadilloes (is that one ´l´ or two?).

Believe me, I say this as an observation rather than a criticism...

M is back-- migratory birds like M and Misty return -- is it spring already?

Sorry to hear about your father, M.

I did laundry. Not dirty-- even if it was, not for airing here.

At the moment, my preference is George Clooney. Going to see the latest ASAP.

Two (peccadilloes or peccadillos).

Put my resume in for a position in Peoria, Il.

What sort of web searches can I do to develop an enthusiasm, or even a knowledge of the city, so when I interview I can be really, really enthusiastic about packing up a house full of stuff and moving there?

Okay, Peoria is in the same state as Chicago. I suppose I should check out some local news sources, so I can compare it to Detroit (near where I live now) and Washington DC (near where I used to live)

Maybe I'll check out the density & type of bookstores.
