What's on your mind today?

Well now you're both more experience/mature is it not possible to simply tell her that you want to wait a while?

I think she wants to make up for lost time...

Oh well, at least she's keen

My final grades came in today!! They turned out better than I expected!!

Very good. Well done!

I'd made the friendly acquaintance of a guy on facebook who recently (in the last few months) lost his partner to cancer. I friended him on facebook, talked with him a few times, and expressed support for what he was going through. We were getting to know each other a bit. His boyfriend sounded as though he'd been a truly remarkable man. The guy I got to know suddenly unfriended me. I politely asked why, just because I was curious.

His response was "sorry, but in all your comments to me, you never once mentioned you were praying for us, and I need prayer now. I need to believe he's in heaven with Jesus."

I'm not offended, but I'm kind of scratching my head. I guess I committed the logical error of assuming that someone who was openly gay would be comfortable with having friends who were not Christian, because most gay people I know are happy to befriend people of all beliefs/non-beliefs. But nope, apparently only prayer was acceptable, and not empathy. Hmm. Curious. Especially considering what the bible has to say about homosexuality, I'm always a bit confuzzled when someone cherry-picks it, to suit their own needs.

Ah well. One can only try to be friendly. It's a two-way street.

Been there, done that, still picking up the pieces.

My dog is really sick.     We think that she ate a rabbit in the yard on Friday (found a bit of it in the house...shudder) but she seemed fine all weekend.  When we woke up on Monday, she had thrown up in our room, but anyone who has had a pet can tell you that a one-off throw up is not all that uncommon or cause for alarm provided that the dog is acting normal.  When we came home from work last night, she had obviously had some more tummy troubles, but we assumed that she had gotten it out of her system because she was in fine spirits, drinking water, begging for food when we ate, et cetera.  Today we came home from work, and she had exploded.  Splatters of liquid poop all over the upstairs!  Plus, she seemed to be in distress (shaking, lethargic).  So Husband took her to the emergency vet, which is where they still are.  He called me to tell me that they were doing blood work, and that right after they took her temp, she bled (from her anus.)  Poor Ellie!  She has to be okay; she's the best dog ever.   

Everything crossed hopping she's allright. (((Ali)))

It's heartbreaking when a pet is ill.  All the very best, Ali.

You're not joking. At least with a human you can explain what is happening. But then again maybe that's worse?

It sounds like he has way more issues than just losing his partner. I would have said: "Ah, I see. Well I don't pray because I'm an atheist and such things are foreign to me. So I guess that means you don't really need my help as such, but only need your beliefs reinforced. Sorry, I can't help you with that. Good luck to you."

I don't think that I got the job that I applied for....
Oh well... It was just a summer job anyways. I have a job when I go back to school.

(It sticks in my mind that you're working on a Technical Communications program because I started a similar program a couple years ago but decided to not follow through with it.)

Hahaha! While not the most *effective* set of instructions, it sure is funny. I'm going to save this for my instructor. I lol'd at the PUBLISHIT remark.

I'm still having issues with my coworker Jessica who needs to stop being such a brown noser.

Ugh, just wanna get paid.

The exam question I know I got wrong. Why don't I re-read the test before handing it in?

I should pray to make the universe make dark matter also responsible for the accelerated expansion...think it'll work?

Peanut butter. I've been told off for the 3rd time about putting peanut butter in my kids sandwiches at school. They're wasting their breath. I'll feed my kids what I damned well please. Especially as most oaty bars have nuts in these days without being outlawed in the lunchbox. What's next? No marijuana in their cigarettes...? (just kidding!).

P.S peanut butter and cucumber is a decent combo!
Also, avocado and Marmite, egg and Marmite, peanut butter and banana.

Y'all got any sandwich oddities?

Peanut butter and either dill or sweet pickles.
