hmmm well I'd say not being emotional at work is a good thing. It's called being professional. You should be calm and simply explain or ask for explanations without being upset or overly sympathetic. It's not your problem she cried and couldn't handle being told there was a problem.. I am really bugged by women who can't handle being told they screwed up and cry or guys who can't handle it and yell... As for unemotional..I'm not sure it seems to me you express emotions well, but you might want to ask the person who feels you are " unemotional" what response they think would be appropriate or what they need to have expressed:) HUGS though

Have fun with the rugrats. Got to see PsychoBilly at Mickey D's with Mindy for a few minutes. He really seems to like her.

I think the "proper emotion" thing is a hangup from her husband. She says he ignored her as a partner/woman more often than not. I think I do a fair job. Seem I always have a hug or playful brush/flirting waiting for me around every corner and I always reciprocate the gesture. I do the same but might need to kick it up a notch.

So I was talking with my buddy John a few weeks ago and it seems we have the same type of relationship. He's been with his other for nine out of the last twelve years and said that it has only been in the last year or so that he has really been "in love" with her. He's always loved her, but they have known each other for fourteen years, been together once before, and have always been friends.

I'm not saying that I'm not in love with Mindy. I just haven't really had the chance with the sudden onset of the relationship, resolving past issues, and dealing with all the current issues (there is a plethora). The sex thing is working on getting better (thanks MSG for the exploring advice but she was a half a step afead of me). I don't think I've really had the chance to be in love like this before and cannot fathom a feeling past infatuation. But this strange sense of security that seems to come easy with her is very reassuring as a step in the direction of falling in love.

I said alot. Need to work.

Darn employers thinking people should work on Friday.

Whoa, this thread is slow this afternoon. Are you still at work, Zeek? Or have you made an escape for the weekend?

Hey there VE. Things drop off 'til Monday morn most times so it'll more than likely be quiet for a while.

(Tumbleweed rolls by)

That's my cue to go home.

Goodnight folks.

Sorry folks...last week was pretty much out of it with a cold (that I caught the previous Saturday), then I had a 6-day workshop this week from 8-4.

*sad, 'cause HK's gone* Hope the 猫の忍び decides to come back sometime...

Favorite western salad toppings (no order):
* candied walnuts
* crumbled blue cheese
* crumbled feta cheese
* fresh Caesar salad dressing/fixing
* crunchy croutons
* anchovies (on my Caesar salad)
* thinly sliced onion rings (a.k.a. "tobbaco onion rings")

(I'd mention the dressings, but I like them on the side, and do the "dip the fork in and grab some veggies" method)

Congratulations Mav on the new job.

*sigh* Summer is now down to days...not even a week. Oh well. Everyone else on summer break have some fun on my behalf please!

Huh, what are a 'Summer'?

They may think their sins are original, but for the most part they are petty and repetitive.

Bumpage.

Hey Neko! How are things in the far west? Sorry 'bout the bout with a cold. Going from sick to a workshop doesn't sound like the best of convalescences. Hope it was at least somewhat worthwhile.

Me too. I wasn't trying to shoo her away. Of course CMH is gone, too, and I hope that's not forever either.

That implies there is an EASTERN set of toppings as well. Do tell.

I had a fondness for alla your topping choices but not on salad, the obvious exceptions being the Caesar entry and the croutons which grace my own list although I quite forgot the very necessary adjective "crunchy".

This is an epiphany! I had never considered such a maneuver! But for it to work for me, I would need to reverse the order: stab first and then dip. I understand the dip first concept however. People always seem to slather rather than drizzle the dressings. I'm an admitted and unrepentant slatherer, however.

I hope this doesn't change things between us.

Pardon me while I have a vicarious moment...

Summer? Glau?? Less than a week??? No, no, no. That can't be right. Odds I think this "Summer" thing is a season of the year that you don't get in Scotland. I have heard though you folk usually get at least one day of sunshine in a year; that would be the closest thing I can think of.

Nope I was gone by then. But now I'm back and already bored. Yay!
