O 
OK I just wrote a long ranting post only to have it eaten by the ^%^%^$#%$^$% board!
So here's the situation in slightly shorter format. Really really sucky week filled with stress and no sleep. Brother in law supposed to come down for a fun adults kick back margarita and movie fest this weekend. BIN( brother in law) decides to SURPRISE us and invite his two kids ( ages 4 and 6) to come down. They are due in 5 hours and he just now called to tell us this. So now I have to prep another guest room ( which we don't have so I have to move all the stuff out of the game room, drag the futon in and find sheets, blankets, pillows, etc) clean the house better, run to the store and buy kid food, locate activities for them to do, and spend the whole weekend running around with kids. Who DOES this?? What houseguest just invites two extra people without even checking with the hosts? I have 9 million things that ABSOLUTELY have to get done this weekend which wouldn't have been a problem except now I have two kids to shepherd around and find stuff to do and somehow still get everything else done. Tried to call off weekend and BIN said kids were packed, in car , and on the way and couldn't turn back now. I am usually really upbeat and positive and all I can think right now is I hate my life! I really don't think I can do this. I am exhausted ( 4 hours of sleep last night since I was out tutoring until 11pm) and I just cannot spend all weekend in a whirl of activity and then spend Sunday frantically trying to accomplish all I should have done and then go back and work 5 (16 hour)days....oh well not much choice. Maybe I'll get killed by falling space debris. Or maybe a nice psychotic gunman will take me hostage. Does anyone know how long it takes to join the military and get sent to Iraq?
Anyway, rant over and I will ( unless I get lucky and get hit by a truck) see you all on Monday. I hope you all have great weekends.

What huh? Where am I?
Why isn't there a "Male and Female Imponderables" in the title? I didn't even know there was anything going on in here. And here I'm thinking the thread died the past couple days. Jeez.

::hugs:: and more ::hugs:: for MsG.
Isn't it ironic how even rebels can find a group - people who don't want to be labeled, or people who don't want to be associated with this or that? Or would the better term be paradoxial?
Oh, Zeek, we took the Imponderables out because there didn't seem to be a whole lot of male and female ponderings, and more general questions and how our days were.

Hey everyone!
*HUGS* to MsG, you're right, he definitely should have told you first...that's just rude. 
But please don't get hit by a truck, we'd miss you. 
Zeek, yeah I kinda was confused by the lack of imponderables in the title too...I'll admit that the "Male and Female" part sorta wore off, but I think we should keep the "Imponderables" in the title because we sure do a lot of pondering!

Hello, Imponderers-That-Was!
I have a ponderance, which popped into my mind for undisclosed specific reasons:
Is it possible to be safe in a dangerous situation?
Just thinkin'....

I think that being in a dangerous situation automatically means that you are not safe. Being in proximity to a dangerous situation (watching someone being tortured, for example), one might be safe for the duration; but, I think this is a definitional oxymoron.
Could you give us an example (fictional or real, as you'd like)? This is kind of hard to wrap my brain around.

Ifyou like MSG, i'll trade you for my life, the highlight of my day to day was the relactive period of relative calm whne the *only* think going on in th unit was the guy standing butt naked on the diner table spitting on everyone as the dinner arrived. and indeed for the next hour, but it wasn't such a problem once everyone had eaten.
and i know i can'yt type fr shit, crap day means a staff night out and mucvh alocohol to cope ^^

Hi, Yin, ASOFT, HK (if'n yer still speakin' to me), Odds. Hope you got my email, MsG. Hope it helped.
Odds, where in the world do you live/work to have that be the most nermal thing of yer day? Kinda seems to answer HK's question.
I certainly do believe you can find yourself to be completely safe in a dangerous situation. The trick is finding that way fast enough to avoid said danger. Every situation is different so there's no blanket answer I can give. But I can say that I've never been in a situation that didn't have some way out. If you think otherwise you haven't played enough video games!

Gosh wouldn't it be nice if someone *cough*Penguin*cough* could make it look a little better? I've lost my patience with it already. *sigh*
